John C. Bridges

John C. Bridges focus through law school and into the beginning of his career has been on becoming a trial lawyer. After graduating from University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law in 2006, he took a job with a very prominent Sacramento litigator who specialized in blue collar criminal defense and plaintiff personal injury litigation. Mr. Bridges quickly discovered that a criminal defense practice did not hold much interest for him and he made the decision to join Mason ∙ Thomas in 2008. Mr. Bridges emphasizes the defense of civil litigation primarily involving personal injury and employment disputes. He has taken or participated in dozens of depositions of both lay and expert witnesses. Mr. Bridges has represented clients in numerous arbitrations and mediations, and has served as “second chair” in several jury trials and taken one case to verdict as the lead attorney. Already an avid runner, Mr. Bridges is expanding his recreational pursuits on a bicycle. He enjoys traveling and recently completed the Rome Marathon while visiting that great city.
