Family had a difficult time trying to find an attorney to file the lawsuit. We filed the complaint right before the statute and worked hard to get the family the compensation they deserved.

This result couldn’t go to a more deserving client and I am happy that he finally gets some closure. Countless hours of work in this case to overcome a MSJ, incredibly frustrating mediation and MSC, 10 requests for trial continuances, over a dozen expert depositions, and finally accepting our last and final offer the day before trial. Justice served for another Chambers & Noronha Client. ⚖️
Extremely proud to announce that our Trial Attorney, Garrett R. Chambers, has passed the 2020 Hawaii Bar Exam. Garrett is a first time passer of both the California and Hawaii state bar exams.
Big shoutout to Chantell and Garrett for obtaining a great settlement for a deserving client!
Great result by Chantell Cervantes-Chambers!
In what legal experts say is the largest settlement of its kind from a mass shooting, MGM Resorts International agreed to pay up to $800 million to victims of the 2017 massacre outside its Mandalay Bay Casino & Resort in Las Vegas.
It is truly heartbreaking to look someone in the eyes and say that their deceased loved one is only worth $250,000. MICRA states that the general damages (pain and suffering) for medical malpractice is capped at $250,000. Simply, a human life taken by the negligence of a medical provider is only worth $250,000. This law was enacted in 1975, approximately 44 years ago. To put this in perspective, this was the same year that the Vietnam War ended, the movie Jaws was released and a gallon of gas was only 44 cents. We have limited victims of medical malpractice to a specific dollar amount that was created in 1975. It is time to change the law. Be on the lookout for the Prop in the 2020 election and vote yes to change.

We would like to thank and congratulate Chantell for her unwavering commitment to our firm and the needs of our clients. This is Chantell's 2-year work anniversary at Chambers & Noronha. Over the last 2-years, Chantell has demonstrated an amazing work ethic, a persistent drive in obtaining full justice for our clients, and natural talent as an advocate and trial attorney. We couldn’t be prouder of Chantell.
One of our Trial Attorneys - Garrett R. Chambers, Esq. - was sworn into the OCTLA Board of Directors on Saturday, January 26, 2019. Garrett is the fifth attorney from Chambers and Noronha to be a member of the OCTLA board.
CHAMBERS & NORONHA Trial Attorneys, Chantell and Garrett, got justice for our client in Orange County last Friday. Defendants fought liability for almost a year and actually alleged that Plaintiff ran the red light despite two (2) independent witnesses stating otherwise. A few months prior to trial, Defendants admitted liability in hopes of gaining credibility with the jury.
The defense’s position was that the collision didn’t cause the shoulder pain and that it was a pre-existing condition. Notably, Plaintiff had shoulder complaints within the two (2) months before the collision. Garrett and Chantell took and defended numerous depositions to confirm that the collision caused the aggravation of pain to their client’s shoulder. On the eve of trial, the defense conceded causation and the only issue for the jury was damages.
While the Plaintiff visited her primary care physician, numerous physical therapy appointments, and underwent a left arthroscopic shoulder surgery, Plaintiff decided to waive her medical bills and try the case on general damages.
During closing, the defense recommended that the jury award Plaintiff a nominal amount, $5,000, because the surgery wasn’t necessary, and all the pain was caused by her pre-existing condition. Ultimately, the jury awarded 2.5 times the last offer and almost 14 times the defense’s recommended amount in closing.

A jury has ordered Aetna to pay more than $25 million to the family of an Oklahoma City woman who died a year after the insurance company refused to cover a type of radiation therapy.
Our associate, Chantell Cervantes-Chambers is a recent graduate of the famous Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College, which refined her trial skills and taught her the wisdom of having the courage to become a real person first, to enable her to have the heart to fight for justice in her own passionate voice.
After almost 3 years, Chantell and Garrett got justice for our client in San Bernardino last week. The Jury gave over $158K reasons why a person should look over their shoulder when merging (Defendants' last offer was $20K). It was a tough motorcycle case where the defense fought tooth and nail on liability.
The defense never changed their position of contesting any liability throughout the remainder of the case.
Chantell and Garrett split the case down the middle. They took turns with taking witnesses. Plaintiff’s experts were Dr. Wagner (Retain non-treating) and Landerville (Ax Recon). Landerville did a great job and boiled it down to common sense. The defense had Grogan (Billing) and Solomon (Ax Recon).
Chantell did an amazing job. Fresh out of TLC, she put everything into action and told the story of the collision in 1st person through the Defendant’s side mirror during closing.
Defense stuck to their guns and told the jury to answer “NO” on question 1 – liability because it was entirely Plaintiff's fault. Garrett did the rebuttal and reiterated that Defendant taking no responsibility was un-American.
Ultimately, the jury saw through the smoke and mirrors and did the right thing. Another win for the good guys!
