Jake Jacobsmeyer, veteran workers’ compensation claims defense attorney who began as an applicants’ attorney, has now joined the law firm of Michael Sullivan & Associates. By Lonce Lamonte - May 28, 2024 Jake Jacobsmeyer, a veteran California workers’ compensation defense attorney, just last week, perhaps it was Friday, joined the law firm of Michael Sullivan & Associates. Jake was first an applicants’ attorney for just less than 20 years, and then became a defense attorney and has been one for over 20 years.  Thus, combined together, he has over forty years of experience.  Most of that time he has worked and resided in the San Francisco East Bay.   He most recently was a partner in his own firm of Shaw, Jacobsmeyer, Crain & Claffey.   It was called Shaw, Jacobsmeyer, Crain, Claffey, and Nix when this writer first met Jake in the Summer of 2009 on the Wharf in San Francisco.   Read More

Chuck Weissman just moved to Corvel as a senior claims specialist and he loves jalapeño peppers By Lonce Lamonte - October 31, 2023 Chuck Weissman started out his career in retail.  He worked predominantly for Wherehouse Records. So, that was back in the day.
