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.
