Attorney Dossier · Fresno · October 30, 2026
Five Fresno truck accident firms, checked against the State Bar, Google and their own fee terms before you call.
A big rig claim in Fresno County runs on short clocks: six months to file against a public agency, ten days to report the crash to the DMV, and trucking data that does not sit around forever. The firm you call first decides how much of that gets protected.

Before you sign: what the numbers mean after a Fresno truck crash
1
0 of 5: firms here publish their contingency percentage
All five say you pay no attorney fee unless they recover money. None prints the percentage on the pages we read, and only Larry H. Parker’s truck page notes that case costs may be handled separately from the fee. California requires a contingency agreement in writing that states the rate, so ask to see it before signing.
2
6 months: to file a claim if a public agency shares the blame
Most truck injury lawsuits in California must be filed within two years. If a city vehicle, a county truck or a road defect is part of the crash, a written claim to that agency is due within six months, before any lawsuit. Missing it can end the claim against that agency.
3
$0: what each of these five charges for a first consultation
Every firm on this list offers a free first consultation. If you want a name from outside this list, the Fresno County Bar’s Attorney Referral Service, certified by the State Bar, charges a $50 fee for a consultation of up to 30 minutes in Fresno, Madera, Tulare, Kings and Merced counties.

The 5 firm dossiers
01
Nunes Law, Inc.
Injured drivers who want the founding lawyer on the case and a Spanish-speaking first meeting in north Fresno
Why it made the list
Frank M. Nunes is the Fresno truck accident attorney who founded this firm on North Fruit Avenue in 2007, and his State Bar record shows him active since June 1995 with that same Fresno address of record. Before private practice, he says, he prosecuted cases for the Tulare County District Attorney and worked as in-house counsel for an insurance company, which he presents as insight into how adjusters value claims. His truck page goes into federal hours-of-service limits, electronic logging and engine data, and preservation letters to carriers. He speaks English, Spanish and German, and the firm offers same-day and video consultations.
Proof file
- Lead attorneyFrank Marvin Nunes, founder
- State Bar record#176199; admitted June 1, 1995; Active; no public discipline on record
- Office5088 N Fruit Ave, Suite 101, Fresno, CA 93711
- Phone559-436-0850
- Fee termsNo win, no fee; free first consultation of up to 60 minutes; percentage not published
- LanguagesEnglish, Spanish and German (Frank Nunes)
- Track recordStates over $30 million recovered; lists $3.4M wrongful death and $2.25M brain injury results
- Google rating4.9 from 348 reviews
Your first-call script
QWill you personally handle my truck case, and who on your staff will I hear from week to week?
QWhen do you send the preservation letter for the truck’s logging and engine data?
QOf your $3.4M and $2.25M results, were either against a commercial carrier?
From the reviews we read
+ Meets clients with Frank in person+ Clear, prompt answers+ Pushes back on low insurer offers+ Staff guide clients from the first call
With 348 Google reviews at 4.9, this is the second largest review base here. Reviewers keep naming Frank himself: he sat down with them, explained the claim in plain terms and pushed back on insurers offering too little. Several also credit staff for guidance from the first call, and one describes walking in without an appointment and being seen.
Fit and watch-outA good match for a client who wants one lawyer they can reach and a first meeting in Spanish. The trade-off: this is a small firm built around one attorney, and the published results on its site are car and wrongful death cases, not truck verdicts, so ask how it staffs a case against a large carrier.
02
Moseley Collins Law
Callers who want a statewide injury firm with a downtown Fresno office and the largest Google review base here
Why it made the list
Moseley Collins Law is a Sacramento-area injury firm with a Fresno personal injury lawyer office on Tulare Street downtown and further offices across California, Oregon and Washington. Moseley Cary Collins III has been on the State Bar since May 1980, and his address of record is the firm’s El Dorado Hills office. The Fresno page says the firm handles personal injury only and names commercial truck crashes on Interstate 5 and the Highway 99 and 41 corridors among its cases. The homepage claims numerous seven and eight figure results and shows a $10 million result video, with no case details given.
Proof file

- LanguagesNot stated
- Track recordClaims numerous seven and eight figure results; $10,000,000 result video
- Google rating5.0 from 597 reviews (Fresno profile)
Your first-call script
QWhich lawyer would handle my case, and does that person work from the Tulare Street office?
QHow many truck cases has the Fresno office taken to trial or settlement in the last three years?
QIf you decline my case after review, how soon will you tell me so I do not lose time?
From the reviews we read
+ Intake refers declined callers elsewhere+ Quick response to inquiries~ Many reviews from callers not taken on
The Fresno profile holds 597 reviews at 5.0, the most here. Many of the ones we read came from callers whose case the firm did not take; they describe intake staff spending time to point them to other lawyers and agencies. That speaks well of the front desk but says little about how a truck case is run.
Fit and watch-outWorth a call for someone who wants a larger firm’s reach with a downtown Fresno door. The trade-off: the Fresno page does not name a local attorney, and no Fresno truck result is published, so the first call should settle who does the work.
03
Larry H. Parker Accident Attorneys
Clients comfortable working with a large Southern California firm by phone and video rather than a local office
Why it made the list
Larry H. Parker is a Long Beach firm, known for its 800-333-0000 number, that markets a Fresno County truck accident lawyer page and a Fresno County injury page. Neither page lists a Fresno street address; the truck page mentions local offices and virtual consultations, and the eleven offices on its About page are all outside the Central Valley. The founder died in 2024 and the firm is led by managing partner Ron Beck. It states more than $2 billion recovered, a 24 hour phone line and a bilingual Spanish team. A State Bar search by firm name returned six active lawyers, none with a Fresno address.
Proof file
- Lead attorneyNo Fresno attorney named; managing partner Ron Beck named on About page
- State Bar recordFirm-name search: six active lawyers, addresses in Long Beach and San Francisco
- OfficeNo Fresno street address listed; main office 350 E San Antonio Dr, Long Beach
- Phone800-333-0000; Fresno pages also list 562-620-3843, 562-573-8875 and 866-850-1286
- Fee termsContingency, no fee unless it wins; free consultation; costs may be handled separately
- LanguagesEnglish and Spanish
- Track recordStates more than $2 billion recovered for clients
- Google ratingNot confirmed; no Fresno profile found
Your first-call script
QWhich office and which named lawyer would handle a Fresno County truck case?
QWill anyone from the firm come to Fresno for depositions, inspections or court dates?
QYour truck page says case costs may be handled separately; how are they charged if we lose?
From the reviews we read
We could not find a Google Business Profile for a Fresno office, so we have no local reviews to summarize. The testimonials on the firm’s own pages are chosen by the firm and are not coded here. Check the profile of whichever office would handle your case before you sign.
Fit and watch-outFits a client who values a large firm’s resources and is fine meeting by video. The trade-off: no Fresno address or Fresno attorney is named on its site, and its pages give different local phone numbers, so confirm who will be in court in Fresno.
04
Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers
Injured people without health coverage who need the firm to line up doctors who treat on a lien
Why it made the list
Nadrich Accident Injury Lawyers runs a Fresno car accident lawyer practice from North Blackstone Avenue, part of a statewide network of 17 location pages run from Los Angeles. Its Fresno pages stress something no other firm here leads with: a list of doctors who treat on a lien and wait for payment until the case ends. The truck page covers log books, black box and GPS data, and accident reconstruction. Jeffrey Ira Nadrich is on the State Bar with a Los Angeles address of record. The firm states it has handled injury cases since 1990 and lists auto results up to $32.7 million.
Proof file
- Lead attorneyJeff Nadrich, Esq.
- State Bar record#69216; admitted June 24, 1976; Active since February 1989; profile also lists a 1983 interim suspension and 1988 discipline
- Office3003 N Blackstone Ave, Suite 206, Fresno, CA 93703; Mon to Fri, 9 AM to 5 PM
- Phone559-241-0411 on firm site; 559-272-6660 on Google
- Fee termsNo recovery, no fee; free consultation; percentage not published
- Medical careArranges doctors who treat on a lien until the case ends
- Track recordStates $750 million recovered on homepage and over $350 million on Fresno page
- Google rating4.8 from 129 reviews
Your first-call script
QWhich attorney in the Fresno office would sign my case, and is that office staffed daily?
QIf I treat on a lien, how are those medical bills negotiated before my share is paid?
QWhich phone number should I use: the 559-241 line on your site or the 559-272 line on Google?
From the reviews we read
+ Gets clients to doctors on a lien+ Patient intake staff+ Easy, hands-off process~ One truck case review in the set
The 129 reviews average 4.8. One reviewer describes a truck accident case and credits the firm with getting them to doctors and making sure those doctors were paid. Others name intake and case staff for patience and easy communication, and a bicycle crash client says the local office was part of the choice.
Fit and watch-outUseful for someone with no health insurance who needs treatment arranged quickly. The trade-off: the lead lawyer works from Los Angeles, the Fresno phone number differs between its site and Google, and its pages give two different totals recovered, so pin down who handles the file.
05
Tomassian Pimentel & Shapazian
Fresno families who want one local firm for an injury claim and the probate or family matters that can follow
Why it made the list
Tomassian, Pimentel & Shapazian is a group of Fresno trial lawyers founded in 1992 on West Shaw Avenue, and all three named partners are active on the State Bar with that Fresno address. Paul J. Pimentel, admitted in 1986, is the partner reviewers most often name on injury and malpractice cases. The firm also runs family law, estate planning, employment and business practices, which matters when a fatal crash leads to a probate estate as well as a wrongful death claim. Its truck page covers hours-of-service fatigue, cargo loading and California’s comparative fault rule.
Proof file
- Lead attorneysGerald M. Tomassian, Paul J. Pimentel, Larry H. Shapazian (partners)
- State Bar recordTomassian #133519 (1988), Pimentel #124122 (1986), Shapazian #120197 (1985); all Active; no public discipline on record

- Phone559-545-0383 on site and Google; 559-277-7300 on State Bar records
- Fee termsFree consultation; contingency terms not stated on pages read
- Practice areasPersonal injury, family law, estate planning, employment, business litigation
- Track recordFounded 1992; states millions recovered for injury clients, no figures listed
- Google rating4.6 from 116 reviews
Your first-call script
QWhich partner would handle a truck case, and how many has that partner tried?
QYour site gives 75 and 85 years of combined experience; which lawyers make up that total?
QIs your injury work on contingency, and what percentage applies before and after filing suit?
From the reviews we read
+ Fast replies from the front office+ Partners named in injury wins~ Reviews span probate and family work
Its 116 reviews average 4.6, the lowest here but still high. The set we read spans a dog bite, a medical malpractice win, a probate estate and a family matter, so injury clients are only part of the base. Reviewers praise fast replies from the front office and name Mr. Pimentel and Mr. Tomassian directly.
Fit and watch-outA sensible pick for a family that may need injury, probate and estate help from the same Fresno office. The trade-off: injury is one of five practice groups, the pages we read do not state contingency terms or any truck result, and the experience figure differs between pages.
04
Six things to settle before you sign a truck case agreement
The fee rate in writing. California requires a written contingency agreement that states the percentage and how costs affect your share. Ask whether the rate rises if a lawsuit is filed or the case goes to trial.
Costs if there is no recovery. Reconstruction, witness and deposition costs in a truck case can be large. Get in writing whether you owe any of them if the case is lost.
The lawyer who does the work. Name the attorney who will handle the file and appear in Fresno County Superior Court, not only the firm.
A preservation letter to the carrier. Ask when the firm will demand that the trucking company keep its electronic logging, engine and dispatch data, and confirm the date it went out.
A public agency check. If a city vehicle, county truck or road condition played a part, the claim to that agency is due within six months. Ask the firm to rule this in or out at the first meeting.
The DMV report. An SR-1 must reach the DMV within 10 days of a crash with any injury or over $1,000 in damage. Confirm who is filing it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a truck accident lawyer cost in Fresno?
+
All five firms here offer a free first consultation and say you owe no attorney fee unless they recover money. None publishes its percentage on the pages we read, so ask for the written agreement California requires, which must state the rate and how costs are handled.
How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in California?
+
Most injury lawsuits must be filed within two years under Code of Civil Procedure 335.1. If a public agency is involved, a written claim is due within six months under Government Code 911.2, so that deadline should be checked first.
How much insurance does a commercial truck carry?
+
Federal rules set a minimum of $750,000 in liability coverage for for-hire interstate trucks of 10,001 pounds or more hauling ordinary freight, and $1 million or $5 million for many hazardous loads. Actual policies can be higher.
Do I have to report a truck crash to the DMV?
+
Yes, if anyone was hurt or killed or property damage is over $1,000. The SR-1 report is due to the DMV within 10 days, in addition to any police or CHP report. You, your insurer or your lawyer can file it.
Does my truck accident lawyer need an office in Fresno?
+
Not by law, but it affects who meets you, inspects the scene and appears in Fresno County court. Four of the five firms here list a Fresno street address; Larry H. Parker offers virtual consultations and lists no Fresno address on its site.

Method and sources
How we checked these firms+
This is a shortlist of five law firms that take truck accident cases in Fresno, not a ranking. For each firm we read the page named in our brief plus its homepage, about and truck pages, then searched for its Fresno Google Business Profile for address, phone, rating and review count, and read the review text itself.
We looked up each lead lawyer on the State Bar of California licensee search for bar number, admission date, status and any public discipline. Results, totals recovered and years of experience come from the firms themselves and could not be checked independently. Deadlines and insurance minimums come from the statute or regulation text named in the sources.
