The May Firm

What The May Firm does

The May Firm is a California personal injury law firm founded in 2009 and operated by three siblings — Robert, Garrett, and Cameron May — with the founding partner Robert May personally motivated by his own experience as a teenage injury victim. The firm represents individuals who have suffered injuries due to the negligence of others across a broad set of practice areas: motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle, bus, drunk driving, uninsured motorist, rollover, rideshare), wrongful death, spinal cord injury, sexual abuse, slip and fall, elder abuse, and defective product liability (airbag, child car seat, seat belt, pharmaceutical, auto defects). It operates from nine offices across California — Bakersfield, Fresno, Visalia, San Luis Obispo, Santa Maria, Santa Barbara, Long Beach, Chula Vista, and Salinas — supported by a 24/7 intake operation across phone, text, and email in both English and Spanish.

The firm's operating model is built on contingency fee representation, meaning clients pay no upfront legal fees and the firm is compensated only when it secures a financial recovery. To remove the upfront-payment barrier to medical care, the firm has cultivated a network of medical providers who treat clients on a lien basis and defer payment until case settlement. Marketing relies on SEO-optimized practice-area pages, Google Reviews (500+), bilingual Spanish services, a podcast and video center, and a student scholarship program. The firm is a private, family-owned entity with no disclosed external investors, parent company, or acquisition activity.

Cumulative disclosed outcomes include $400M+ recovered for clients across all case types, 10,000+ clients served, 25+ years of combined attorney experience, and 35+ years of trial experience cited on location pages. Founder Robert May is individually credited with $25M+ in verdicts and settlements, and the firm holds recognitions from the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum, Super Lawyers, America's Top 100 High Stakes Litigators, and the BBB. No technology platform, proprietary AI, or external funding is disclosed — the business is a traditional professional services firm whose competitive position is built on attorney credentials, geographic reach, marketing-driven lead capture, and bilingual accessibility rather than on proprietary technology.
