Pápico offers a range of legal services, each tailored to your needs. When you bring us a legal question, we'll give you the legal answer.
That might mean Pápico Legal: experienced, proven and trusted legal representation from start to finish for your Personal Injury matter.
It might mean Pápico Legal Consulting: when you need to know where to start, where to go next, or what that contract really says before you sign.
Often, a conversation is all it takes. We talk it through plainly, work out what you need, and make it happen. The right answer is the one that's best for you - not us. If your matter calls for a specialist, we'll tell you and connect you with someone we trust. No time or money wasted.
Wherever you stand, we'll stand with you.
No matter the path - You always leave with a clear next step.
Step by step
You can't complete a puzzle without all the pieces, and I need all the pieces you have.
I'll give you my opinion of where you stand and propose a plan. We'll agree to next steps.
You'll get what you paid for as agreed.
I'm Francisco. I'm a Personal Injury lawyer, a human, and I've been a client too. I know how stressful the idea of lawyers, costs and going to Court can be, but getting legal advice shouldn't be. I'm a nerd for the law, but my real passion is helping people find their footing and a way forward - that's my reason why.
Over the last ten years, I've sat on both sides of the Personal Injury table working for the Insurer and representing injured workers. I've had workers yell as colourfully as they could, and had others cook me amazing dishes from their home countries. I know how insurers work, which means I know how to get you what's rightfully yours.
I grew up in Melbourne with Chilean parents, speaking only Spanish at home. I could translate from English when they needed help, but I couldn't have translated from "Legalese" to Spanish... yet. The law isn't exactly straightforward in English, let alone in another language.
I built Pápico because I kept seeing people go under-served. My community, la comunidad latinoamericana, who couldn't find help in Spanish. Injured workers who didn't know their rights. Consumers not getting what they've paid for.
People who just needed someone to sit down with them and explain what's going on.
That's the job I actually love.

If you've been wronged, I'll make it right.
When your matter's the right fit, I take it on personally and see it through. One lawyer: same face, same hands, all the way through.

Not every problem needs a cost agreement. Sometimes, you just need the what, the where and the how; what you're dealing with, where to start, how to move forward.
Starts with a conversation, ends with your next step mapped out.

Have a document in front of you and no idea what it really says?
I read it, put it in plain English (o en español), and tell you where you stand.
If it needs a formal response, I'll make sure they get one.

Representing injured workers, I've seen what happens when a risk goes unmanaged... and I've won the cases that follow. That's how I know exactly what risks to look before one becomes an claim.
I'll go through your setup, your obligations, the unexpected causes of injury, and tell you what to fix. Straight, plain, no scare tactics. Because the best claim is the one that never has to happen.

Not every problem is mine to solve, I'll tell you that straight. I know the landscape and make the introduction, so you don't start from scratch.
What I won't do is leave you without a next step.
