Poswall, White, & Cutler is Sacramento’s most respected personal injury law firm. It prides itself on handling not only the multi-million dollar cases that often put Poswall, White, & Cutler in the news but the medium and smaller accident injuries that cause disruption in people’s lives.

It is led by its Senior Partner, John M. Poswall, whose litigation tactics are the stuff of legend in the legal community. He has successfully sued Italian gun manufacturers, Canadian trucking companies, French resort owners, and many of the U.S. Fortune 500 companies. From airplane crashes, product defects, vehicle and boating accidents, to dangerous highway designs, police shootings, sexual harassment and attorney malpractice, he has recovered millions for his clients. It is said he used a Halloween "Trick or Treat" bag during cross examination of a General Motors expert witness in a Yolo County trial, wore cowboy garb to lull an unsuspecting Shell Oil executive in a Texas deposition, had a jury laughing when he proved a State of California expert had the wrong tire in a highway design case, and went on television to encourage customers to shop at Montgomery Wards as he had marshals seize the store to pay off a multi-million dollar jury wrongful termination verdict he won for his client.

With a select few, John has been inducted into the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers and elected to the American Board of Trial Advocates. Also, he is recognized as one of the "Best Lawyers in America." No other Sacramento attorney has been listed in the national publication of the "Best Lawyers in America" longer.

Nor has any lawyer been recognized more for his litigation skill and public service in support of women, minorities, human rights, and civil liberties [See bio].

This commitment to excellence and integrity, while representing the injured and wronged - and winning - gives PW&C its distinctive reputation. All of our attorneys are imbued with this commitment and trained in this tradition.

Over the last 25 years, Parker White has developed a special knowledge of medicine necessary to handle major medical malpractice cases. This knowledge also makes him a resource for all of the attorneys in the firm on complex medical issues in accident cases. He is called upon by Stanford Law School, McGeorge School of Law, and the prestigious American Board of Trial Advocates to instruct lawyers in the art of civil litigation and trial advocacy. Currently , Parker is vice president  of  ABOTA, Sac-Valley Chapter, and will take over as President in 2006.

Our younger partner, Jennifer Cutler enriches the firm with her vitality, energy, and eagerness to build a career helping others. She was chosen because she does not view the practice of law as a job but an opportunity. She has distinguished herself with significant legal victories. Since then , she has established herself as a commanding writer and researcher She also brings tithe table trial skills, having already tried a medical malpractice jury trial and bringing home a significant judgment in a binding arbitration against UCD Medical Center.

And our newest associate, Karen Sarkissian, follows in the tradition of clerkship and training for two years with the firm before being selected to join the firm.
