Founded by attorney Mark Venardi and then later joined by Martin Zurada, the California law firm of Venardi Zurada capitalizes on the insight and experience our attorneys bring from past work both on behalf of and against Fortune 500 companies. Our ability to see both perspectives allows us to provide the kind of aggressive representation typically reserved for major corporations.
While we will negotiate and settle claims if that is in your best interest, we are a litigation firm that doesn’t hesitate to take matters to court when appropriate. That tenacity has resulted in:
A success rate at trial of over 99 percent
The confidence to operate on a contingency fee basis in many instances — meaning if we do not make a recovery for you, we will not collect a fee
