I started this law firm to advocate for better healthcare. I’ve investigated hundreds of potential claims for families as a medical negligence attorney. Over and over again, I see our communities receive poor care because of language barriers, gaps in medical rights, and substandard insurance and hospital choices. So I started Treto Law to help create more equity in healthcare. We’re a bilingual injury firm focused on improving healthcare—one case at a time. Treto Law specializes in medical negligence, hospital negligence, birth negligence, wrongful death, and life-changing injuries. I’m not against healthcare.I’m against corporate greed in healthcare. I’m against insurance companies who put money before people. I’m against institutions that permit toxic working environments that cause errors and burnout. I started this because I’m against unfairness in healthcare.Treto Law is for better healthcare. One person at a time.

Trial attorney focused on healthcare negligence and injuries.
