Orange County Trial Lawyers’ Charities
Orange County Trial Lawyers Charities was just an idea in 2019, and by 2020 a small, but enthusiastic group of hard-working trial lawyers met and decided that making a difference in the community was worth dedicating their time and resources to. These lawyers generously donate time, search for organizations that need assistance and meet the organization’s mission to reach out and assist within the Orange County community. Our attorneys and members want to give back to the people of Orange County and consistently show up to do so. Since its small and simple roots in 2019, OCTLC has grown to hundreds of supporters, thanks in no small part to its sister organization the Los Angeles Trial Lawyers Charities (LATLC).

Hispanic Bar Association of Orange County
The Hispanic Bar Association of Orange County was founded in 1970 by an astonishingly small group of Orange County lawyers of Hispanic heritage. The late Honorable James O.

Perez Judge of the Year Award given out at the Annual Judges’ Barbeque.

Los Angeles Trial Lawyers’ Charities
In 2006 a small group of Los Angeles trial lawyers for the people, consumer attorneys who fight for justice on behalf of the great people in our City of Los Angeles, embarked on a new way to serve our community beyond their roles as attorneys. Inspired by this concept of doing charitable works in our local communities, these lawyers channeled their passion for justice towards improving the conditions of the oppressed and underserved, enhancing education, safety, access to shelter and opportunities. Founded by trial lawyers who cared deeply about social justice and improving our great city, LATLC was born…

Consumer Attorneys of California
Consumer Attorneys of California is a professional organization that represents the interests of 39 million Californians. Our member-attorneys stand for plaintiffs seeking accountability from those who do wrong.
Our attorneys and their clients face opponents with far more power and access to resources: Big polluters, insurance companies, automobile manufacturers and banks. CAOC members take only those cases they view as worthy, invest their own resources in pushing those cases to court and are paid under the contingency fee system only if their clients achieve a successful result.
Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles
CAALA began in 1949 as the Lawyers Roundtable, a group of plaintiff civil attorneys who began meeting informally. These were trial lawyers who pioneered the various practice areas that became today’s Trial Lawyer bar. Each was among the first to represent injured and harmed victims of corporate and medical negligence. In 1952 they formed an actual association to share knowledge, ideas and mutual support in the emerging areas of law they practiced. They literally were the first Los Angeles attorneys to stand up and protect people from unsafe medicine, unsafe products and unfair business practices. At first there were about 50 members, and by 1952 the number had grown to 100. That small group has now become the CAALA we know today, with more than 3,000 attorney members…
