BD&J in the Community

Helping Our Neighbors Through Connection and Trust

At BD&J, we know that doing our part is more than just putting food on our tables. It’s uplifting our neighbors, speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves, and aiding those who need it most. We Californians look after each other, and with large law firm resources like ours, it’s important we use them to do good for others in our communities. From San Francisco to San Diego, Los Angeles to San Bernardino, we are always ready to help those most in need.

2025 Community Outreach

Back to School Drive

In partnership with Homeboy Industries and through individual efforts, BD&J has provided more than 430 students across California with school supplies and backpacks for the 2025-2026 school year. We have also cleared the classroom wishlists of 10 deserving teachers throughout the state, so students can succeed. BD&J is thrilled to be a supporter and partner in education for our California students, teachers, and schools.

Palisades and Eaton Wildfires

From January to April, BD&J remained devoted volunteers in relief for the deadly Palisades and Eaton wildfires. We hosted a free dinner and provided supplies to attendees and first responders who were in need of information on wildfire response, housing, and more. Our employees sprang into action to donate food and water, clothing, blankets, bedding, feminine hygiene products, baby formula and diapers, face masks, toiletries and more.
We also partnered with the Some 1 Loves You Church and Food Pantry every week to provide food, hundreds of car batteries, toiletries, and more to families affected by the wildfires.
BD&J provided lunch to over 200 families affected by the wildfires at the Santa Anita donation center. We partnered with Jauja Gourmet Kitchen and were interviewed by NBC and Univision at the event.

Common Types of Police Misconduct Cases and How Attorneys Fight Back

Police misconduct in California causes physical, emotional, and financial harm to victims, often eroding community trust in law enforcement. Common cases include excessive force, false arrests, malicious prosecution, discrimination, and evidence fabrication. Skilled attorneys fight for victims by investigating incidents, gathering evidence, and filing civil rights lawsuits to hold officers accountable and secure compensation for damages. Victims may recover economic losses such as medical bills and lost wages, as well as compensation for pain and suffering. Legal experts at BD&J offer free consultations and dedicated support, helping victims navigate complex legal deadlines and advocating for systemic reform.

Do People of Color Receive Less in Compensation After a Personal Injury Case?

Personal injury should be a straightforward and fact-based way to obtain justice, but many courts still struggle to unravel the systemic racism that impacts how much injured people of color are compensated. A Riverside personal injury attorney can help clients who have been hurt in an accident to argue against racially biased statistics used to reduce their compensation and advocate for change outside of specific cases. Riverside citizens can also push legislators and judicial electorate for change in how awards are calculated to eliminate racial bias. If you were hurt in an accident and are worried you won’t be compensated fairly, contact us.

The Largest Car Recalls of 2025: Is Your Car a Danger?

2025 has seen millions of vehicles recalled for defective and faulty parts and design. This has placed tens of millions of drivers at risk in the United States. Manufacturers issue recalls if there is sufficient evidence through their own investigation or through reports from consumers that a product is dangerous or defective. If a manufacturer won’t recall a vehicle or product, a regulatory agency like NHTSA may step in and demand a recall. If your vehicle was recalled for a defective part or design and you were injured in an accident, you could have a case. Call the Riverside car accident lawyers at BD&J today!
