  • Biography

    Joel Brodfuehrer is an Associate in the GRSM Irvine office.  He is a member of the Maritime, Securities Litigation and Insurance practice groups.

    Joel clerked for the Arizona Court of Appeals and assisted with numerous decisions addressing civil, criminal, family, and juvenile law, and routinely presented cases in pre-trial conferences before three-judge panels. This experience afforded him the opportunity to analyze a variety of complex legal matters, fine-tune his writing skills, and develop close working relationships with judges.

    Following his clerkship, Joel worked as a legal associate for one of the largest insurance defense firms in Phoenix. He developed and fine-tuned his writing and oral advocacy skills, including participating in mediations, depositions, and oral arguments.

    While litigating in Phoenix, Joel handled complex cases related to personal injury, dram shop, general liability, and insurance defense. Joel communicated regularly with his clients, drafted substantive pleadings and dispositive motions, conducted countless depositions, and thoroughly researched relevant law to assist his clients.

    Joel then moved to Southern California and now works as a legal associate for GRSM. Joel’s practice focuses on maritime, employment, and securities law. Joel handles defending cases ranging from catastrophic trucking accidents involving shipping containers, vessel personal injury claims, and cargo spoilage to investment fraud, securities investments, FMLA and FEHA leave, workplace injuries, and employment terminations. Joel’s skillset has proven to be a helpful asset for his clients and GRSM.
