Joseph Younes
is a Los Angeles trial attorney representing individuals and families in catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases across California. He has recovered more than two hundred million dollars for his clients, including dozens of seven-figure and high eight-figure results.
His work centers on the cases other firms often settle quickly: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, commercial vehicle collisions, construction site accidents, and premises liability. These are cases that require trial preparation from the outset, not just the willingness to negotiate.
A graduate of CAALA’s Plaintiff’s Trial Academy and ABOTA’s Jack Daniels Trial Academy, Joseph has tried cases to verdict in California state and U.S. federal court. He has been recognized as a National Trial Lawyer Top 40 Under 40 and as a Top 100 Jury Verdict in California for two consecutive years.
Joseph takes a limited number of cases at a time, and reviews new inquiries personally rather than through an intake team
Insurance carriers assess cases in part based on the attorney handling them. Firms known for taking cases to verdict, rather than settling early, are often approached differently in negotiations.
Joseph spent years as a partner at one of the largest plaintiff personal injury law firms in California, handling complex, high-stakes cases from intake through trial. That experience, delivering results for clients both in the courtroom and at the negotiating table, is reflected in his track record trying cases to verdict in both California state and U.S. federal court.
