Our Firm

over 35 years of experiencE

Curtis A. Cole founded what the public, and the legal community, know as this law firm in 1985. However, Mr. Cole had been practicing worker; compensation and personal injury law in Fresno since the early 1960’s. As one of the first certified specialists in California workers’ compensation law, Mr. Cole established a law firm dedicated to the concerns of injured workers and their families. Along with a carefully selected staff, consisting of associate attorney Jeff Fisher and key legal assistants, our firm became the number one workers’ compensation law firm in the Central Valley.

Mr. Cole practiced in our current location until 2005, when he retired in his 70’s. Jeff Fisher retired later in 2005, and has now passed away. The firm has grown to the present Cole, Fisher, Cole, O’Keefe + Mahoney, with principal attorneys Leah Cole, Joseph O’Keefe, and Rachel Mahoney.

Today, we're a team of devoted workers’ compensation and Social Security specialists, committed to securing maximum benefits for our clients in the Fresno, California area.

Our principal attorneys are all certified specialists in California workers’ compensation law and bring a combined 58 years of legal experience to each case we represent. Our firm has long been considered the gold standard in applicants practice in the community by many of the Central Valley’s practitioners and the judiciary.

As the longest-practicing Applicant Workers’ Compensation firm, we have become one of the foremost law firms in central California specializing in workers’ compensation and Social Security disability matters.
