Joseph M. Lovretovich founded JML Law to carry out his commitment to the representation of the rights of the individual.  Mr. Lovretovich was first admitted to practice law in the state of California in December 1976, and in his more than 30-year legal career, he has tried numerous cases, involving almost every type of legal claim.  He has greatly expanded the rights of all California citizens by winning important court cases and has secured millions of dollars in verdicts in settlements on behalf of his clients.

Mr. Lovretovich is widely regarded as one of California’s top trial lawyers.  He was principal counsel on Colmenares v.
