Members of Cheong, Denove,
Rowell & Bennett have been fighting for the rights of consumers in
California by reviewing proposed legislation, speaking with legislators
and battling the insurance industry that attempt to pass laws that limit
the rights of the injured to seek just compensation. CDRB
organized one of the largest demonstrations in California history
against insurance sponsored initiatives. These initiatives, fortunately,
were voted down.
