Welcome to Venardi Elam LLP

Walnut Creek Attorneys

Expertise + Tenacity + Judgment = Results

The AV Rated attorneys of the Venardi Elam Firm are committed to providing competent and tenacious representation to clients who have been injured or harmed by the wrongful conduct of others. You need and deserve the representation of The Venardi Elam Firm if you or someone you care for has:

Suffered a serious and catastrophic personal injury;
Been treated unfairly by an employer;
Been mistreated by an insurer; or
Been taken advantage of by another business.

Our Firm is backed by over 20 years of expertise gained as partners for one of the most powerful and sought-after law firms in the country. Your case will be handled and personally supervised from start to finish by Partner Larry Elam and/or Partner Mark Venardi, both AV Rated. Though we will appropriately staff your case, the Partner handling your case will be your primary contact - not a rotating associate or staff person.

The Venardi Elam Firm primarily handles cases on a contingency fee basis, which we will be happy to discuss with you. In such cases, we do not collect a fee unless we recover damages. In commercial disputes, we often customize fee agreements, which may be part contingency, or a contingency fee arrangement which may require that the client pay only the costs in advance, and then we do not collect a fee unless we recover damages.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss a possible case with us; please use the "Quick Contact" form to the right to reach Mark Venardi or Larry Elam for a free and confidential consultation, or call toll free 866-451-9693.

The Walnut Creek California law firm of Venardi Elam LLP are experienced in a wide range of legal matters and proudly service Contra Costa county, Oakland, and the surrounding Bay Area.
