For more than 23 years Mayra witnessed firsthand the unmet and unrecognized needs of those individuals who suffered a devastating injury. Her personal experience is one of the many attributes that sets her apart from other attorneys.

Mayra's goal is simple: to work tirelessly on behalf of the disabled and injured and to force the wrongdoer -- whether it be an individual, a corporation, or a governmental agency -- to take responsibility and compensate the injured for the devastation and suffering caused as a result of their actions.

At no extra cost to her clients, Mayra Fornos joins forces with award-winning lawyers, working in unison with them to optimize results for her clients.

Your Legal Team

The Fornos Law Firm ensures that the best legal team possible is assembled, on a case-by-case basis, to represent its clients.

Fornos Law Firm is there for its clients every step of the way. Not only does Mayra have personal experience with the seriously injured and disabled, but her firm is comprised of individuals who themselves have sustained life-altering injuries and are disabled, thus having tremendous knowledge and experience on the needs of those living with a devastating injury or disability.

Mark Willits, associate attorney at Fornos Law Firm, became a quadriplegic in 1997 after suffering a spinal cord injury in a work accident. Mark graduated from UCLA School of Law in May 2008 and is a member of the California Bar. In law school Mark was the president of the Disability Law Society at UCLA School of Law and co-founded the National Association of Law Students with Disabilities, the first nation-wide organization for law students with disabilities.

Gerard Moreno, legal administrator of Fornos Law Firm, has been with the firm since its inception, Gerard has been a T-8 paraplegic, since 1981.  He has served on numerous boards that provide services and support to the disabled. Gerard has represented the United States in fencing at the Paralympics.

Briana Walker, a consultant for the firm, became a paraplegic after suffering a spinal cord injury in an automobile accident. Brianna, a former legal secretary, uses her extraordinary insight and compassion to empower clients with information, resources, and support.

Briana released her first book, “Dance Anyway,” in 2006 and is currently working on a second book.  She travels around the country as a keynote speaker discussing disability issues and, in spite of her injury, enjoys numerous sports and activities.
