Callahan & Blaine is proud to announce its recent jury trial victory in Orange County Superior Court. Attorney Jason Casero and Senior Paralegal Tyler Reed prevailed on claims of fraud and slander of title, with the jury returning a verdict including compensatory damages, punitive damages, and attorneys’ fees.
This represented the first jury trial victory for Callahan & Blaine since the Orange County courts began relaxing their masking and social distancing requirements. Over seven days of jury selection, argument, and testimony, Jason was able to communicate our client’s story to the ladies and gentlemen of the jury in a way that has not been possible since the beginning of the pandemic.
As restrictions continue to be lifted, and the world returns to normal, Callahan & Blaine looks forward to achieving additional victories for its clients.

We are proud to recognize and celebrate the outstanding administrative professionals at Callahan & Blaine!

And so we provided these critical members with some small tokens of thanks for Administrative Professionals Day. Thank you so much for your commitment to this firm!
The NAPT Annual Conference 2021 has come to a close, but Callahan & Blaine's Rich Collins “Advocating for Access” continues. He says, "We had a great panel discussion about the different levers we’re leaning on to open access to proton therapy for cancer patients—the state and federal courts, and the state and federal governments. Whether by litigation, legislation, or executive order, we will bring about change.
While we celebrated with a concert, there are some who are suffering. If you or someone you know has been denied coverage for cancer treatment, please message me. There’s help and you don’t need to fight the insurance companies alone."
Our own Rich Collins will be speaking at “Advancing the Future of Proton Therapy” and will again join a blockbuster lineup of speakers at the NAPT Annual Conference 2021 (https://lnkd.in/ePGqwGr).
Alongside colleagues Marie E. Casciari, Stephanie Casey, Maria D. Garcia and Tim Rozelle, he will present “Advocating for Access” on the final afternoon of the Conference, after Keynote Speakers Grace Eline (Pediatric Cancer Survivor) and Ron Rivera (Washington Football Team Coach ). We’ll also be sponsoring the live Celebration Concert with Grammy® nominated Nicole Zuraitis tomorrow evening, April 16th!
Lights, camera, action! Our founding partner Daniel Callahan will be creating his own YouTube channel, where he will share his esteemed insights on various legal matters. And while he was at it, why not shoot a super exciting Magnum PI-themed intro with the talented folk at SPARKHOUSE? Who says lawyers can't have a little fun?

As Women's History Month is drawing to a close this year, we know that we wouldn't be a successful law firm without the daily contributions from the amazing women on our team.
"From time-to-time people will doubt you and question your skills. Never let that hold you back. It is important to stay confident in yourself and know that you have what it takes to get the job done." —Debora Halbert, Senior Paralegal
"It’s up to you how far you want to go. And even if nowadays we have to compete with other men, remember if you have the determination and willpower to make your dreams come true, you can be a successful woman whether it is being a mother, a wife, or an important asset to your company." —Maria Martinez, Legal Assistant
"I am very fortunate to work for a company that allows me to be a mother and grow in my profession as well. Women, in general, are made to feel that we have to be a mother or a professional, and with a great company and my supporting husband, I know I can do both." —Jennifer Aguilar, Assistant Administrator
In recognition of Women’s History Month, we asked the fierce women of Callahan & Blaine about some of the struggles they’ve faced both personally and professionally in their fight to achieve success.
"Initially, when I started practicing law, I had devoted so many hours to my work that I had little time for anything else outside of work. I now work part-time with the flexibility to work from home when necessary, which ensures that I can spend much-needed quality time with my family. This balance has had an overall positive effect on my career and my overall wellbeing." —Sharon Yuen, Senior Trial Attorney
Callahan & Blaine is wishing everyone a very happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy Women’s History Month! We continue to thank all the strong and brilliant women at our firm. “Juggling my family life, personal relationships, and career has by far been one of the most humbling and challenging chapters of my life. I have worked hard in my career and for my successes, all the while managing the expectations of society that I still attend the PTA meetings, care for my children when they are sick, and attend my parents’ doctor appointments and business appointments. It’s a juggling act like no other.”—Laurali Kobal, Firm Administrator
Motion denied! Great news for our Senior Trial Attorney Rich Collins. UnitedHealthcare’s motion to dismiss the lawsuits filed by his clients Kate Weissman, Zachary Rizzuto and Richard Cole whose Proton Beam Therapy cancer treatments were arbitrarily denied by UnitedHealth, has been denied. Patients should not have to fight a two-front war, one with cancer and the other with UnitedHealthcare.
A federal judge in Boston on Monday allowed three cancer survivors to proceed with their potential class action against UnitedHealthcare Insurance, alleging it “deceptively and unfairly administered their ERISA plans by refusing to cover Proton Beam Radiation Therapy (PBRT...
March is Women’s History Month and at Callahan & Blaine, we are keenly aware that throughout history and even today, women have had to work twice as hard to prove themselves. We asked the fierce women of C&B about some of the struggles they’ve faced both personally and professionally in their fight to achieve success.
