Ian Estrada is a distinguished
founding partner at Cloward Trial Lawyers, renowned for his unwavering
commitment to championing the rights of injury victims. Born and raised in the
vibrant city of Los Angeles, California, Ian's journey in law began after completing
his studies at UCLA. He further honed his legal acumen at Loyola Law School,
Los Angeles, where he earned his Juris Doctorate in 2009.
Ian's professional path took a
pivotal turn when he relocated to Las Vegas in 2011 to join a prestigious defense
firm. There, he diligently represented national insurance companies in personal
injury lawsuits. Witnessing firsthand the relentless efforts made by insurance
companies to impede just compensation for injured individuals, Ian felt
compelled to change sides and dedicate his legal prowess to the service of real
people rather than corporate entities. In 2017, he embarked on a new chapter of
his career by joining Nevada's largest personal injury firm, where he rapidly
distinguished himself by working on the firm's most complex and significant
cases.
One of Ian's defining moments came
in 2020 when he served as second-chair alongside the esteemed Ben Cloward in a
high-profile wrongful death case, resulting in a remarkable $38 million jury
verdict. Inspired by this triumph, Ian wholeheartedly embraced the opportunity
to join Ben Cloward's trial team on a full-time basis. Since then, he has
played a crucial role in securing a multitude of multimillion-dollar verdicts
and settlements, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable advocate
for the injured.
Ian takes immense pride in
representing his clients, individuals whose lives have been shattered in an
instant. His legal expertise encompasses a diverse range of personal injury
matters, including cases involving hazardous premises, defective products,
trucking incidents, motor vehicle collisions, fires, dog bites, and more.
Drawing from his invaluable experience as a defense attorney, Ian is uniquely
equipped to navigate the legal landscape and ensure injury victims receive the
comprehensive compensation they deserve.
Beyond his legal pursuits, Ian is
licensed to practice law in Nevada, California, and Washington. In his leisure
time, he relishes the company of his wife and shares a passion for exploring dog-friendly
destinations around the globe. Together, they savor the joys of travel while
creating cherished memories along the way.
