When you hire Ronald B. Laba, you get Ronald B. Laba — not a rotating cast of case managers and paralegals you've never met. For over 40 years, Mr. Laba has built his practice on a simple principle: every case deserves personal, individualized attention from the attorney who signed you up, from the first phone call through settlement or verdict. Unlike high-volume firms that hand your file off to a case manager, Mr. Laba personally handles and builds each case himself.
Mr. Laba has settled over 5,000 North County and San Diego car accident, motorcycle, and truck accident cases, along with other serious injury cases — with clients receiving fairness and well over a hundred million dollars of dollars along the way. That track record comes from focusing his practice on taking on the auto insurance, pharmaceutical, and medical device companies on behalf of injured San Diegans.
Mr. Laba earned his law degree from Pepperdine University School of Law in Malibu, California in 1984, graduating with honors — earning a place on both the Pepperdine Dean's Honor List and the United States National Dean's List, and ranking first in his class in Products Liability, Remedies, and Admiralty. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science and history from the University of Manitoba (1981), where he graduated with honors and was named a Manitoba and Western Regional Finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship. He was admitted to the California Bar in 1984 and the Massachusetts Bar two years later.
Before founding the Law Offices of Ronald B. Laba, APC in 1991, Mr. Laba was a principal at Kirby & Laba in San Diego and began his legal career with a legal internship at the Office of the California Attorney General, Department of Justice, Division of Tax and Business.
Mr. Laba became an attorney to defend the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and everything they guarantee. He built his practice to level a playing field that's stacked against injured people, and that same relentless pursuit of justice defines how he fights for every client today.
