Jura A. Hartley

Jura Hartley is the founder of J. Hartley Law, where he represents individuals and families in serious personal injury and wrongful death matters throughout California. With nearly two decades of legal experience, he has built a reputation for combining meticulous trial preparation with genuine compassion for the people he represents.

Before dedicating his practice to representing injured plaintiffs, Jura defended insurance companies and businesses in personal injury litigation. As a former insurance defense attorney, he brings the perspective of both sides of the courtroom to every case, allowing him to anticipate defense strategies, evaluate risk the way insurers do, and position cases for successful resolution or trial.

Jura handles a broad range of catastrophic injury cases, including motor vehicle collisions, trucking accidents, premises liability, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death claims. He prepares every case as though it will be tried, believing that thorough preparation and a willingness to litigate are essential to achieving the best possible outcomes for his clients.

His results reflect that commitment. His work includes one of the Top 100 Personal Injury Verdicts in Los Angeles County, and in 2026, TopVerdict.com recognized two of his recoveries among the Top 50 Premises Liability Settlements in California. These recognitions reflect his commitment to strategic advocacy, meticulous preparation, and achieving meaningful results for those he represents.

Clients frequently describe Jura as approachable, responsive, and honest. He believes that effective representation begins with listening and ensuring clients understand both the legal process and the important decisions that affect their cases. His goal is not only to obtain outstanding legal results, but also to provide guidance, clarity, and reassurance during one of the most difficult periods of a person's life.

Jura is deeply committed to serving the communities where he practices. His firm proudly supports the El Segundo community through local partnerships, school sponsorships, and community events. He also volunteered his time providing pro bono guidance to victims of the Eaton Fire as they navigated complex homeowners insurance claims.

Jura earned his law degree from Loyola Law School and is admitted to practice in the State of California.
