Veterans Appeals & Injury Attorney
Military Service
Prior to serving the people of California as an attorney, Mr. Zamora served his country in the United States Navy. As a Navy aircrewman, he was responsible for coordinating tactical missions on suspected enemy submarines and surface ships. He also supervised and trained flight crew members. Mr. Zamora was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal, the Navy Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Southwest Asia Service Medal for his service during Operation Desert Storm.
Appellate Practice
Jacob Zamora is an appellate attorney focusing on appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC) and civil appeals in state and federal courts. He has represented clients before the California Court of Appeal, Fourth District, Division One, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
Litigation Experience
A former Public Defender, Mr. Zamora has tried serious felony “strike” cases, handled numerous preliminary hearings and motions to suppress, and prepared and argued writs of habeas corpus. He has also litigated complex civil matters—including personal injury, real estate fraud, contract disputes, ADA claims, and intellectual property actions—as well as family law contempt and restraining order proceedings. This broad trial and motion experience gives him a practical, record-driven perspective that he now brings to veterans’ benefits appeals and personal injury cases throughout Northern California.
About the Firm
We are a full-service litigation firm limiting its practice to two areas:
(1) appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC), and (2) personal injury cases throughout Northern California. By focusing on these specific practice areas, we are able to offer clients deeper knowledge, more attentive service, and a practical, results-oriented approach to every case.
In our veterans law practice, we handle CAVC appeals for veterans and their families who have received unfair denials or low ratings from the VA. We review the VA record, identify legal errors, and pursue appeals before the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims with the goal of securing the benefits our clients have earned through their service.
In our personal injury practice, we represent individuals who have been harmed by the negligence or wrongful conduct of others. We handle a range of personal injury cases in Northern California, including motor vehicle collisions, dangerous property conditions, and other serious accidents, with a focus on obtaining full and fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
