For over 25 years, John C. Carpenter has helped attorneys achieve unprecedented results in complex, high-value cases. And, as a founding partner of Carpenter & Zuckerman, he has dedicated the firm and its resources to the principle that justice for injured people is more important than insurance company profits. CZ is one of the largest plaintiffs firms in California dedicated solely to personal injury cases, consistently achieving outstanding and record-setting results for its clients.

John began his legal career handling and trying cases that other law firms rejected. He prides himself on trying tough but meritorious cases. He is a graduate of Gerry Spence’s Trial Lawyers College. As a trial lawyer, John has won over $300 million in verdicts and settlements for individuals and their families. In addition to trial work, he has an active appellate practice and has had two petitions reviewed by the Supreme Court of California.

John is also the founder of Truth Love Justice, an organization which promotes the importance of truth and love as guiding principles in the pursuit of justice. For each of his cases, John seeks the Truth of our common experiences, applies Love so that both sides can see each other, and then finds Justice. In 2021, this method led to the record breaking $1.1 Billion settlement from USC for sexual abuse by their employee, for which John and his team represented 72 of the 702 plaintiffs. Truth Love Justice secured an average of $1.2 million for each of John’s clients.

In 2017, John was nominated for trial lawyer of the year by the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles (CAALA). He considers the nomination to be one of the highlights of his career. John has also been selected as a Top 100 Trial Lawyer and has been recognized by VerdictSearch and by numerous other legal organizations in Los Angeles and across the nation.

More information about speaker
Scott Glovsky
Law Offices of Scott Glovsky
I’ve spent my entire career going toe-to-toe with armies of ruthless corporate attorneys. I’ve learned to go for the throat by being better prepared, better focused, and fully prepared to stand firmly on the fair and just side of every argument.

I know the corporate lawyers I go up against are juggling dozens of cases from angry customers their companies have let down because I started as a corporate attorney. I know the ins and outs of their arguments and I know how to exploit their weaknesses.

As founder and lead attorney of The Law Offices Of Scott Glovsky, I’m not just the face of the firm, I am the primary force behind the firm. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of California, Berkeley, and earned my law degree at Cornell Law School.

Like most other attorneys, I went to law school with grand dreams of fighting the good fight for the right causes. Then I went to work at large corporate law firms where I was encouraged to defend corporate clients, right or wrong, good or bad on a mind-numbing treadmill that paid exceptionally well and delivered zero levels of personal fulfillment and self-respect.

That’s why you’re here, looking at my somewhat non-threatening picture and wondering if any successful attorney can really be this honest, yet tough enough to handle your case.

Maybe this will help you decide. Read my achievements tab for a few of the things I’ve accomplished while going up against the goliaths of the world.
