A distinguished personal injury trial lawyer, he has established an exceptional record of success advocating for clients who have suffered traumatic injuries. His practice encompasses a broad spectrum of cases, including motor vehicle collisions, dog bite incidents, premises liability claims, wrongful death suits and consumer protection matters. To date, he has secured favorable resolutions in more than 800 cases, recovering in excess of $20 million for individuals confronting life-altering circumstances.
A native of Michigan, Mr. Kocaj earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in business with a pre-law concentration from Michigan State University in 2008.

After launching his practice in Michigan, Mr. Kocaj relocated to California and obtained dual licensure to represent clients in both states. His legal acumen extends beyond personal injury claims; he has successfully litigated arbitration clause enforceability and complex consumer law matters, achieving notable appellate victories in elder abuse and arbitration disputes. His approach combines rigorous litigation strategies with empathetic client counsel, guiding individuals and families through challenging recovery processes.
Known for his unwavering work ethic and tenacious advocacy, Mr. Kocaj is committed to securing justice for his clients.
