What Robinson Calcagnie, Inc. does

Robinson Calcagnie, Inc. is a privately held plaintiff-side law firm established in 1978 and headquartered at 19 Corporate Plaza Drive, Newport Beach, California, with a secondary office in San Bernardino. The firm specializes in personal injury, products liability, and business litigation, with active practice areas spanning catastrophic injury, wrongful death, drug and medical device litigation (including talcum powder, Vioxx, and medical devices), vehicle defect cases, premises liability, asbestos-related disease, data breach class actions, and complex commercial disputes. Notable results include the $128M Ford Pinto verdict in Grimshaw v. Ford Motor Company, the $417M Echeverria v. Johnson & Johnson talc verdict, the $800M Mandalay Bay Shooting settlement representing over 1,400 victims, and a $40M J&J talc verdict in December 2025. The firm also maintains a designated evidence preservation and testing warehouse used by its retained experts for case preparation.

The firm operates on a hybrid revenue model: contingency-fee arrangements for plaintiff personal injury and mass tort matters where no fees are charged absent recovery, alongside hourly or alternative billing for business litigation. Client acquisition is sales-led, relying on free case evaluations, a multi-platform digital presence (website, blog, Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram), and an attorney-to-attorney referral network that funnels cases into the firm from practitioners outside its specialties. Co-counsel arrangements with firms such as Beasley Allen allow the firm to litigate mass torts nationwide beyond California. Marketing copy describes the team as having over 200 years of combined legal experience, anchored by Founder & Senior Partner Mark P. Robinson, Jr. (2014 ABOTA National President and four-time CLAY Award recipient), Partner Kevin F. Calcagnie, and Partner Jeoffrey L. Robinson (a former Orange County Deputy DA). The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional or parent ownership, and has no public funding rounds or external investors.
