No other San Diego plaintiff's attorney markets the "former federal prosecutor" credential. None of the firms ranking above you can say they prosecuted cases for the United States. That trust signal wins with jurors, judges, and Google's E-E-A-T algorithm. It's your single biggest differentiator — and it is completely offline.
