New Trial Granted
In a powerful step toward justice, our team secured a new trial in the wrongful death case of Fred Williams, Jr. v. County of Los Angeles. The court’s decision came after exposing egregious misconduct and inflammatory arguments that compromised the fairness of the original trial. This ruling not only reopens the door for justice—it reinforces our resolve to hold powerful institutions accountable.

When my dignity, ethics and livelihood was at deliberation by a Jury of 12 in the court of law, Jamon R. Hicks was my best half, my partner, my lawyer. Jamon is a family man and a devoted member of the community. A true respected professional who is thoughtful, strategic, sensible, and caring is who one will want to stand with you in court. My family and I will forever be grateful to Jamon.

Mr. Hicks prevailed in a wrongful death case related to the tragic death of my only child. He rose to the challenge and handled the complexity of the case with prfessionalism, sensitivity, and skill. He provided me the closure and compensation I deserved and by doing so, honored my son's life and helped create positive change in this world. He is also very approachable and has a good sense of humor! I highly recommend him.

I am so grateful and blessed to have had the law firm of Douglas / Hicks Law, APC representing me during my jury trial. Not a dat goes by where I don't reflect upon the sincere and profound gratitude I have for this firm.
Isamar Ayala
I've known Jamon Hicks for 10 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my legal needs. When I was involved in a legal issue, I felt scared and had no idea how I would take care of it. Jamon immediately made me feel safe and in the best hands. He took care of my issue and was the most professional, trustworthy and helpful attorney. He's the best Attorney and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with a daunting legal matter.

Jamon Hicks is the heavy hitter you want on your legal team. I used Jamon for a wrongful termination case and he was very powerful in not only winning the case but ultimately awarding us punitive damages. He had a presence that commanded the jury's attention. They hung on to his every word and as a result they wanted to penalize the company due to his closing arguments. He is very straight forward in his communication with you as a client and will carefully walk you through all possible outcomes. I originally was open to a $100k settlement prior to trial and thanks to Jamon I was awarded a 7 figure judgement! I would highly recommend Jamon and his team.
