Significant California Cases

2017

Hikida v. Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board

Maureen Hikida developed carpal tunnel syndrome due to her employment and underwent surgery, which led to a disabling condition known as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). The court ruled that if medical treatment for a work-related injury results in a new or aggravated condition, the employer is fully liable for the resulting disability without apportionment to non-industrial factors.

2023

Earley v. Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board

This case addressed the Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board’s (WCAB) practice of issuing “grant-for-study” orders to extend the 60-day deadline for decisions. The court found that this procedure was unauthorized, emphasizing the importance of timely decisions in workers’ compensation cases.

2023

Cal. Dept. of Corrections & Rehabilitation v. Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) challenged a WCAB decision that found the department engaged in serious and willful misconduct, resulting in an additional 50% compensation award to the injured worker. The court annulled the WCAB’s decision, clarifying the interpretation of “compensation” under Labor Code section 4553 and the conditions under which enhanced benefits are applicable.

Tara B., CA

I highly recommend …. Law Group and Attorney Sheriff Issa, is the best attorney in the world! I switched my workers compensation case to … Law Group from another law firm. I advised Mr. Issa, that the other Law firm told me that I might not get anything for my work related injury, if I didn’t accept the small amount that was being offered. Mr. Issa, reassured me that the company has to pay me for the injury! Attorney Sheriff Issa, isn’t afraid to fight for his clients and he doesn’t force you to settle.

I would like to thank Sheriff Issa and Arash Foroughmand, Who solved my legal problem quickly and efficiently.  I could not have hoped for a better result. They made everything easy and they explained step by step and made me feel heard and confident I could have never gone through all of this without them thank you! Not only did they made me feel that I have rights.

Could not recommend this firm more – they were super responsive, extremely transparent.  I felt like they prepared me thorougly for every step of the process, they didn’t settle for the bare minimum because it wasn’t a huge case they treated me like ewvery other case and made sure they fought for me to get me everything I deserved, and super friendly and easy to talk to at that! Should definitley be your first call when looking for representation.

I had the pleasure of working with attorney Arash and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience.  Arash not only possesses an impressive understanding of the law, but he also has a unique ability to communicate complex legal concepts in a way that’s easy to grasp.  Throughout our interactinos, he demonstated patience and a genuine willingness to address all my concerns, making the legal process much more manageable for me.  What stood out the most was his commitment to ensuring I understood every step of the way, and he gave me the confidence that I was in capable hadnds.  I highly recommend Arash Foroughmand for anyone seeking legal guidance; a true professional with a personal touch.

provided us with their best attorney, his name is Arash Foroughmand.  He took the time to talk to us direclty, he responded promptly, I told my husband, “see, that’s what an attorney should sound like!” Arash was honest and sincere and I wish he could be our lawyer for everything else! He is a real and true person, and its very hard to find a woderful lawyer.  He actually picks up his phone on the 2nd ring, unbelievable. …. Should have Arash as their MVP!! I am so grateful we got … best. Marco and Debbie Reyes

Sheriff has been my attorney working on my case.  To describe him and my overall experience I’d say he’s knowledgeable communicates well, very responsive, patient, is good listener, hardworking and will tell you what you need to know to get you through what could potentially be one of the most difficult times of your life.  Being that he comes from a military household and a soldier myself I always appreciate a person that will be upfront, honest and not just tell you what you want to hear and he’s been that way for me!  Overall, he and his colleagues have worked hard and got the job done.
