Mr. Zamora was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal, the Navy Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the Southwest Asia Service Medal for his service during Operation Desert Storm. Litigation Experience A former Public Defender, Mr. Zamora has tried serious felony “strike” cases, handled numerous preliminary hearings and motions to suppress, and prepared and argued writs of habeas corpus. He has also litigated complex civil matters—including personal injury, real estate fraud, contract disputes, ADA claims, and intellectual property actions—as well as family law contempt and restraining order proceedings. This broad trial and motion experience gives him a practical, record-driven perspective that he now brings to veterans’ benefits appeals and personal injury cases throughout Northern California.
