Mendez & Sanchez Law

What Mendez & Sanchez Law does

Mendez & Sanchez, A.P.C. is a contingency-fee personal injury law firm co-founded in 2016 by Giancarlo Mendez and Michael Sanchez, headquartered at 5440 E. Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, with three additional California/Nevada offices in Pasadena, Costa Mesa, and Las Vegas. The firm employs 14 attorneys licensed in California, Nevada, and Texas and serves injured individuals in car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and train accidents, as well as slip and fall, traumatic brain injury, wrongful death, and workers' compensation matters. Services are delivered bilingually in English and Spanish, and the firm has recovered more than $1 billion for over 5,000 clients since founding, including a $4.974M jury verdict in Hernandez v. CCC America, Inc. ranked No. 32 on Top Verdict's Top 50 Motor Vehicle Accident Verdicts in California in 2025.

The firm's go-to-market relies on direct outreach to injured individuals via 24/7 phone availability, free consultations, a bilingual website with an online case calculator, and community engagement including partnerships with the Consulate of Honduras and Hispanic/Latino organizations in California. Marketing channels include earned media (Univision, Daily Journal), community sponsorships (OCWLA), and press release coverage of case victories. The customer base is entirely individual plaintiff clients, with no enterprise or institutional relationships, and revenue is generated exclusively through contingency fees (typically 33–40%) on settlements and verdicts — there are no hourly billing, flat-fee, or subscription pricing arrangements.

In February 2026, Mendez & Sanchez opened a 700-square-meter international back-office operations hub in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, employing approximately 60 staff across human resources, marketing, intake, and front-office operations to support its U.S. legal practice. All attorney work and client representation remain U.S.-based and U.S.-licensed. The firm uses standard legal practice software and case management tools rather than any proprietary technology platform, and operates as a traditional professional corporation under California law with no institutional investors, parent company, or public-market participation. Recognition includes multiple Top Verdict honors (2025), 2026 Southern California Rising Stars designations for four attorneys, the Los Angeles Business Journal 2026 Women of Influence honor for partner Jennifer Russell, and ABOTA Trial Lawyer of the Year for the same partner in 2021.
