Frances Dunham Law has spent more than two decades fighting for injured Californians. Trial-ready, client-centered, and unwilling to settle for less than the full value of your case.
Founded in 1999, Frances Dunham Law represents people whose lives have been upended by negligence. Our practice is deliberately focused — we don’t spread thin across unrelated areas of law.
Partners Jennie Levin and Allan Movagar lead a team of attorneys, investigators, and case managers who treat every client with the seriousness their situation deserves. We have recovered millions for Californians injured in car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, bicycle, premises, and workplace incidents.
Three commitments shape every case we handle.
Insurers settle higher when they know your lawyer will try the case. We prepare every file for trial from intake — and we deliver in the courtroom when it matters.
You will speak directly with your attorney. Our case managers stay on top of medical providers, lien resolution, and every administrative detail.
Eight-figure verdicts, seven-figure settlements, and an unwillingness to accept low-ball offers — our record reflects decades of disciplined work.
