Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, LLP

What Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, LLP does

Bisnar Chase Personal Injury Attorneys, LLP is a California-based plaintiff-side personal injury law firm founded in 1978 by John Bisnar and now led by Managing Partner Brian Chase. The firm exclusively represents injured individuals on a contingency fee basis, with attorney fees of 33-42% deducted from settlement or verdict proceeds and clients paying nothing upfront. Its core practice spans car, truck, motorcycle, and bicycle accidents, auto defect litigation, premises liability, wrongful death, defective products, catastrophic and brain injuries, dog bites, employment law, class actions, and mass torts. Service features include a no win, no fee guarantee, free case evaluations, a personal injury compensation calculator, and a Spanish-language service line for the Latino plaintiff market.

The firm operates six California offices across Newport Beach (headquarters), Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and San Francisco, supported by a team of 8+ attorneys plus paralegals, investigators, and administrative staff. Marketing and client acquisition run through a multi-channel engine that includes a legal blog, YouTube/TikTok/social content, earned media on CBS/CNN/Fox, Google reviews, and a structured attorney referral network that routes complex cases the firm is positioned to try. There is no proprietary technology platform; the underlying 'product' is trial-ready legal representation, with the firm advancing expert witness, deposition, and evidence costs on behalf of clients. Service quality positioning rests on 47 years of operating history, over $1 billion in cumulative client recoveries, and a reported 99% success rate.

Commercially, revenue is generated solely through contingency fees on won cases, making the firm's economics directly tied to case outcomes, settlement size, and trial readiness. The customer base is highly fragmented across 14,000+ individual plaintiff engagements with no enterprise or recurring-account structure, and Bisnar Chase operates as a privately held LLP with no external institutional investment. Ownership is concentrated among the partner group, including Brian Chase (Managing Partner), Scott Ritsema (Sr. Partner), Ian Silvers (Partner), and six associate attorneys. There are no disclosed subsidiaries, funding rounds, acquisitions, or M&A activity; strategic growth to date has been organic, through office openings and practice area expansion rather than roll-up.
