What Habbas & Associates does

Habbas & Associates is a privately held California personal injury law firm founded in 1984 by Omar Habbas and headquartered in San Jose. The firm represents individuals who have suffered physical, financial, or emotional harm due to the negligence of others, with practice areas spanning motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, boating), severe and catastrophic injuries (brain, spinal cord, birth injuries, wrongful death), premises liability (slips, falls, dog bites), and workplace/product liability matters. Client representation is delivered by nine named attorneys across six California offices — San Jose (HQ), Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Rocklin, and Modesto — supported by a 24/7 intake hotline, city-specific SEO pages, and a free-consultation intake process. The firm reports 20,000 cases won, $650M+ in cumulative verdicts and settlements, and 200+ years of combined attorney experience across the team.

The firm operates exclusively on a contingency-fee basis: clients pay no upfront cost and the firm receives a percentage of any settlement or verdict obtained, with no fees charged if the case is not won. There is no proprietary technology platform; delivery is conducted through standard legal workflows, with marketing and client acquisition driven by a combination of content (blog, YouTube testimonials), search engine optimization across practice-area and city landing pages, community and sports sponsorships (San Jose Earthquakes, SJSU Spartans, Santa Clara University Broncos, San Francisco Giants, San Jose Sharks, California Golden Bears, plus broadcast partners 99.7 NOW, MIX 106.5, Bay Country), and a referral network. Peer recognition includes Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent ratings, Super Lawyers Rising Stars selections, and National Trial Lawyers Top 100 membership.

Operationally, Habbas & Associates is a family-led partnership (Omar, Tarik, and Nicholas Habbas are all listed as attorneys, with the firm previously known as 'Habbas, Nasseri & Associates') that has expanded from its original Bay Area base into a multi-region California practice. The firm is actively investing in Southern California growth under Nicholas Habbas, sustaining a steady cadence of community partnerships (San José Animal Care Center, San José Spotlight, Arteaga's Food Center, Second Harvest of Silicon Valley, St. Jude, Family Giving Tree) that double as brand-building exercises, and continually adding senior litigators including former insurance-defense counsel — positioning the firm as a well-established, brand-anchored plaintiff-side practice rather than a tech-enabled or venture-backed legal services company.
