About Oaken

About Oaken Injury Law

Justice for the Injured Comes First.

Our mission is to pursue justice for the injured with honesty, discipline, and relentless advocacy. We believe no defendant should ever dictate the outcome of an injured person’s claim. From the first call to the last, we are our clients’ voice. We handle every matter with the commitment we would want for our own families.

Client-First Representation

We are a client-focused California personal injury law firm. We are built on the reputation that we refuse to negotiate against our clients’ interests. This means that we fight for the maximum compensation available, not results that benefit only us and leave our clients worse off.

The Attorneys Behind Oaken

Oaken was founded by Matthew Bradley and Ian McTaggart. Matthew and Ian built the firm with the shared belief that the injured deserve serious and uncompromising representation. Matthew’s background as a former defense trial attorney gives the firm firsthand insight into how insurance companies evaluate and challenge claims. Ian’s experience brings a practical understanding of the importance of client communication, proper case development, and the trust injured people place in their lawyers during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Together, they built Oaken to be a firm that prepares every case with discipline, strategy, and purpose.

Prepared for Trial from the Start

Oaken is a trial-ready litigation law firm. Early decisions made by experienced trial attorneys give the injured stronger positioning, effective guidance, and the ability to withstand pressure.

Why Oaken Was Built Differently

Oaken was founded on the belief that injured people always come first and that legal representation must never be compromised. The unfortunate reality is that many law firms have become legal factories, too often operating with the same volume-driven mindset as the insurance corporations they claim to oppose. Instead of fighting for their clients, these firms have learned to convince injured people that inadequate, assembly-line representation is the standard. It is not.

Representation Built Around the Individual

At Oaken, we believe in representing the individual, not the one-size-fits-all or assembly-line approach to representation. To effectively convey a client’s losses in court, it is necessary for an attorney to personally know that client’s story. We do this by prioritizing client communication and taking a personalized approach to each and every one of our clients.

Your First Call Is with an Attorney

Oaken’s personalized and empathetic approach begins on day one. We believe that if you are taking the time to call our firm, you deserve the respect of speaking with an actual attorney. So, anyone who calls Oaken looking for help will speak with an attorney. There will be no cost for the consultation.

No Fee Unless We Win

Oaken works on a contingency fee basis. This means that we do not get paid unless we win. There are no hidden fees or obscure obligations. We do not nickel-and-dime our clients. We provide excellent legal services without the financial burden that so often comes with hiring a law firm.
