Lederer & Nojima LLP

Lederer & Nojima LLP is a Los Angeles-based personal injury law firm whose founding partners, David J. Lederer and John Nojima, both spent years on the corporate insurance defense side before switching to represent injured plaintiffs. The firm markets this background as its central differentiator: because its attorneys once built cases for insurers, they say they know the tactics adjusters use to deny, delay, and minimize claims, and now use that knowledge on behalf of clients. The firm operates from 12100 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 480, in Los Angeles, California, and describes its service area as all of California with a primary focus on Los Angeles County. The practice covers a broad range of personal injury matters, including car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall, dog bites, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, wrongful death, workplace injury, product liability, and rideshare (Uber and Lyft) accident claims. The firm works on a contingency-fee basis, advertising that clients pay nothing unless the firm wins, and it promotes 24/7 availability and free consultations. Its website highlights recognition such as being listed by Forbes among the best car accident lawyers in Los Angeles. According to the firm's own fact sheet, it has four attorneys. John Nojima's biography states he has been with Lederer & Nojima for more than 19 years and has recovered an estimated $30–40 million for injury clients, after spending five years at a large corporate insurance defense firm. David Lederer has practiced since 1992. The firm presents itself as a boutique plaintiff-side practice combining deep insurance-industry insight with personal, round-the-clock client service.

Lederer & Nojima LLP is a Los Angeles personal injury law firm built around the unusual career path of its two founding partners. Both David J. Lederer and John Nojima began their legal careers on the corporate insurance defense side, representing insurers rather than injured people. David Lederer has practiced law since 1992. John Nojima, after earning a JD from Pepperdine University School of Law and an MBA in finance and marketing from Loyola Marymount University, spent five years at a large corporate insurance defense firm, where he learned from the inside how insurers evaluate and contest injury claims. He then founded his own practice before joining forces with David Lederer to form Lederer & Nojima LLP. The firm has operated from its Los Angeles office at 12100 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 480, and has grown into a boutique plaintiff-side practice. According to the firm's own materials, John Nojima has been with Lederer & Nojima for more than 19 years and has recovered an estimated $30–40 million for injury clients. The firm reports four attorneys and describes its service area as all of California, with a primary focus on Los Angeles County. Over time the practice has expanded its advertised areas to cover a wide range of personal injury matters: car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents; slip and fall and other premises liability claims; dog bites; wrongful death; workplace injuries; product liability; and Uber and Lyft accident claims. The firm has also promoted external recognition, including being listed by Forbes among the best car accident lawyers in Los Angeles. Its operating model emphasizes contingency fees — no fee unless the firm wins — along with free consultations and 24/7 availability, and it markets its partners' insurance-defense background as the reason clients should trust it to anticipate insurer tactics.
