Mr. Moreno specializes in the handling of catastrophic injury cases and has extensive trial experience in matters involving multiple wrongful deaths and quadriplegics, focusing his practice in the areas of transportation, product liability, general liability, warranty liability, and the defense of utility companies in wildland fire litigation.
