"Simply the best."Neal and Colby Kuvara worked tirelessly to achieve a result I am happy with. They did not promise me anything they did not deliver. Along with this, they are decent people, not something you may associate with Lawyers. They proceeded at a pace that allowed me to heal and kept me informed of all developments in a timely manner. I could not recommend them more highly.- Jason D.

The Kuvara Advantage
Inside Knowledge of the Other Side
What sets us apart is not just our experience, but the unique background of our founder, Neal Kuvara, which gives our clients a powerful strategic edge:
- Medical insight: Before becoming an attorney, Neal served as a medic in the U.S. Army, receiving an honorable discharge with special commendation. This clinical background helps us understand injuries—such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage—and clearly explain their impact to insurers and juries.
- Insurance industry insider: Neal worked as an insurance adjuster for Fireman's Fund Insurance Company before dedicating his practice to injury victims. That experience reveals exactly how insurers evaluate claims and which tactics they use to minimize payouts.
- Decision-maker perspective: Having served as an arbitrator, Neal understands how evidence is weighed by judges and arbitrators, allowing us to present cases in the way decision-makers find most persuasive.
This rare combination of medical knowledge, insurance industry experience, and legal expertise allows us to anticipate the other side’s moves and consistently deliver strong results for our clients.
We have grown from a single San Rafael office to a network of locations serving every major Northern California hub, along with a strategic office in Southern California. No matter where your accident occurred, you will work with attorneys who understand:
- Local courts and judges
- Local insurance adjusters and defense firms
- The unique challenges facing your community

Modern Technology, Personal Attention
While many law firms still rely on paper files, Kuvara Law Firm is a fully automated, electronic, paperless practice. This means:
- Faster resolutions: Instant access to documents and evidence keeps your case moving
- Real-time updates: Our systems make it easier to keep you informed at every stage
- Strong security: Digital encryption protects your sensitive information
- Environmental responsibility: A more efficient, less wasteful way to practice law
This efficiency translates into less delay, lower overhead, and more of your recovery staying where it belongs—with you.
Two Generations of Advocacy
Today, our firm blends decades of experience with fresh, modern advocacy:
- Neal Kuvara continues to lead the firm with over 50 years of practice. He has served as a lecturer for the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association and has maintained a commitment to pro bono work since 1971.
- Colby B. Kuvara joined the firm in 2015, bringing a UC Hastings education and a strong background in human rights advocacy. Her work with the Refugee & Human Rights Clinic and focus on civil rights and corporate accountability has expanded the firm’s litigation capabilities, with a significant portion of her practice devoted to courtroom proceedings.
With two generations working together, clients benefit from deep institutional knowledge and cutting-edge legal strategies.
Our Philosophy: Fast, Fair Settlements—Trial-Ready When Necessary
We resolve the vast majority of our cases through settlement rather than trial, not because we avoid the courtroom, but because most injury victims need financial relief as soon as possible.
We focus on:
- Getting you compensation in months, not years in backlogged California courts
- Reducing costs so more of your recovery stays in your pocket
- Providing predictable outcomes instead of the all-or-nothing risk of trial
At the same time, we are always prepared to go to court. Insurance companies only offer fair settlements when they know your lawyers are ready and willing to try the case. Our attorneys are accomplished litigators who take cases to trial when necessary—and insurers know it.
No Fee Until You Win
We operate exclusively on a contingency fee basis, so cost is never a barrier to quality representation:
- No upfront fees or retainers
- We advance all case costs, including experts and court expenses
- You pay nothing unless we win your case
- Our interests are aligned with yours—if you do not recover, you owe us nothing
This model has allowed us to make justice accessible to tens of thousands of injured Californians.
Recognized for Excellence
Our commitment to ethics, results, and client service has been recognized within the legal community and by our clients, including:
- AV Preeminent rating, Martindale-Hubbell’s highest peer-review rating for legal ability and ethical standards
- Silver Client Champion designation, based on verified client reviews
- Over five decades with no disciplinary actions
- Active participation in continuing legal education and professional organizations
These honors reinforce what our clients already know: we take both our professional duties and your recovery seriously.
