Robert G. Simpson

Robert G. Simpson has had a distinguished career in litigation following his graduation from the University of California Hastings College of Law in 1975.  Mr. Simpson began his career in litigation with the firm of Ropers, Majeski, Kohn, Bentley and Wagner in Redwood City, California.  He spent the next 20 years doing insurance defense and business litigation.  In 1995, Mr. Simpson started a practice emphasizing the representation of injured persons in personal injury cases.  In 2014 he commenced a practice in Monterey, California.

Mr. Simpson is best known for his ability to handle complex civil litigation in the areas of business litigation, product liability and medical fraud, along with mass torts with hundreds of clients in a single case.
