We take pride in being the opposite of those billboard and commercial law firms
Many personal injury firms take on hundreds of cases at once. Clients rarely speak to the attorney whose name is on the billboard, and decisions get made by case managers or clerks. Dustin built his firm to be the opposite.
When you work with Attorney Dustin, you deal directly with him — the attorney who evaluates the evidence, negotiates with insurers, and prepares your case for trial if needed. Every document, phone call, and strategy is handled personally, because your story and your outcome matter.
When you’ve been injured in an accident, you don’t just need a lawyer — you need someone who actually listens. Someone who understands how fast your world can change after a crash and who treats your case like it’s the only one on their desk.
That’s what defines Attorney Dustin. As a lifelong Southern California resident and founder of Maricic Law Firm, he built his practice around one simple idea: every client deserves real representation, not a case number.

Questions to ask before hiring
a big city commercial law firm
Be sure to get the details:
Q: What's their fee structure?
Billboard and Commercial Law firms say they start a 33% but watch out for a 60 or 90 day increase for no reason to 40%
Q: Where does the lawyer reside?
They say they practice in the area but they’re really just a Cattle Call law firm that is trying to disguise itself. Some of the lawyers that advertise as local actually live out of state.
Q: How many case managers do you have vs attorneys?

What our clients are saying
Yvonne Lopez
Client
I have know Dustin for over 10 years and he is the only attorney that I recommend as a client myself.. as well as friends and family.
Erica Lujano
Client
My husband was in a Harley accident back in June 2018. We hired Dustin to fight our case. The police report had my husband at 100% fault, which was ridiculous. Dustin worked so hard for us and got the other drivers insurance company to take 70% liability. Dustin was also hard working at getting us our full payout from the other drivers Ins and our Ins. He was 100% successful and we HIGHLY recommend Dustin Maricic to everyone!

Dustin and his team were very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful in my time is needed after my car accident. His professionalism and perseverance was able to assist me in getting the maximum monetary settlement that I could along with medical care that I needed to help me with the pain and suffering that I was experiencing from the accident. Thank you to Maricic Law team
Rob McCurry
Client
Dustin was very responsive and helpful at one of our most stressful times after my son was involved in an accident. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for someone to represent you. I know who I will be contacting should I ever need representation.
Joey Sims
Client
Dustin came highly recommended to me, when I had some questions about an upcoming case. He was professional, and though I was nervous, he assured me everything would fine. His calm, cool, and collected demeanor really helped ease my worries. He got me the best outcome I could ask for.
Josh Welton
Client
I was one of Dustin’s clients a long time ago and he did a great job. Since then I’ve called him more than a few times on non personal injury issues and he has always helped me out and pointed me in the right direction. I recommend him to everyone
Don't Just Hire a Case-Manager
I used to practice with one of those large personal injury firms you see on TV and billboards. I quickly discovered that many clients who thought they were hiring lawyers were actually being represented by overworked and under-supervised “case managers” juggling more than a hundred cases at a time. Instead of staying, I decided to move back home and open my own practice.
Dustin Maricic
Attorney Dustin Scholarship
Every case at our firm starts with someone whose life has just changed in an instant, and who needs a lawyer willing to stand with them through what comes next. After nearly twenty years of representing injured clients across Riverside County, Dustin Maricic knows good representation takes more than a law degree. It takes work, and years of doing that work for people who are counting on you.
The Attorney Dustin Scholarship was created to support law-bound students who are putting in that work now, and who plan to use their education to advocate for everyday people once they’re admitted to practice.
