When a serious injury turns a family’s life upside down, the lawyer they choose matters. That is why so many people in San Diego take a close look at the legal experience of Richard Alexander before deciding who should handle their case. As the Managing Partner of the Alexander Law Group, LLP, Richard has spent decades standing up for people hurt by car accidents, dangerous products, and corporate carelessness.
He is a nationally recognized personal injury lawyer and consumer protection advocate. Clients trust him, peers respect him, and some of the biggest companies in the world know he comes prepared.
A Strong Academic Foundation
Richard earned his BA from Ohio Wesleyan University, where he was also a member of the Pi Sigma Alpha Honor Society. His hard work paid off with a full-tuition National Honor Scholarship to the University of Chicago Law School, one of the most respected law schools in the country.
That is where he earned his law degree and sharpened the analytical skills he still uses to build strong cases today.
Focused on the Cases That Change Lives
Richard represents families in wrongful death lawsuits and stands beside survivors of traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and other serious harm. Many of these cases come from car, truck, motorcycle, and SUV accidents, which are an everyday risk on busy Southern California roads.
Others involve defective products and toxic chemicals, where proving what went wrong often means going up against large manufacturers with big legal teams.

Collecting Against Some of the Biggest Names in Business
One standout part of Richard’s career is the long list of major defendants he has collected against on behalf of injured people. It reads like a who’s who of corporate America.
In the auto world, that includes Ford, General Motors, Chrysler, BMW, British Leyland, Nissan Motors, Honda, Triumph, Firestone, Uniroyal, and B.F. Goodrich. In trucking and transportation, he has faced XPO Logistics Trucking, Market Transport Trucking, Northstar Trucking Lines, Consolidated Freight Way Trucking, Union Pacific Railroad, Southern Pacific Railroad, Conrail, Amtrak, AC Transit, and the Valley Transportation Authority.
Energy and chemical defendants include Shell Oil, Chevron, Texaco, Amoco, Exxon Mobil, Union Oil, Dow Chemical, DuPont, Olin, Allied Signal, National Carbide, Pacific Gas & Electric, and Idaho Power. On the product and industry side, the list includes IBM, Apple, General Electric, Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, United Technologies, Pratt & Whitney, Johnson & Johnson, Ethicon Endo, Bausch & Lomb, Werner Ladders, Keller Industries, DAP, Owens-Illinois, Champion Papers, U.S. Plywood, Varco International, Fluor Corporation, and CH2MHill.
He has also recovered from Marriott, Host Hotels & Resorts, Crestline Hotels & Resorts, Select Hotels Group, Pebble Beach Resorts, Safeway, Albertsons, Sears, Denny’s, Subway, 7-Eleven, Foremost Dairies, Westfield Corporation, National Retail Properties, Dollinger Properties, and Security Risk Management. Add to that Allstate Insurance, Nationwide Insurance, Amica Mutual Insurance, the Boy Scouts of America, Kappa Kappa Gamma, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, the State of California, the U.S. government, Caltrans, and multiple cities and counties.
That range says a lot. Richard is not intimidated by size, and he knows how these defendants and their insurers tend to fight.
Nationwide Experience in 24 States
Richard’s work reaches well beyond San Diego.
