Ike Kaludi

Ike Kaludi is a California trial attorney and the founder of California Trial Law Group, a firm dedicated to representing clients in high-stakes, complex injury cases. He secured a $29.6 million jury verdict for a single client—an outcome that reflects his willingness to take cases all the way through trial when necessary. His track record also includes multiple multi-million dollar settlements involving traumatic brain injuries, amputations, and other catastrophic harm.

His practice focuses on traumatic brain injury, spinal trauma, amputations, wrongful death, and complex personal injury and workers’ compensation cases. Ike is known for handling serious, high-exposure matters and for approaching each case with a trial-first mindset. He does not rely solely on settlements—he prepares every case to be tried.

Ike is frequently consulted by other attorneys on complex cases, particularly those involving brain injuries and significant damages. He is also an active speaker in the legal community, presenting at conferences such as TBI Medlegal, Trial Lawyers University, and the California Society of Industrial Medicine and Surgery.

Before founding his firm, Ike clerked for California Supreme Court Justice Carlos Moreno and Chief Magistrate Maria-Elena James of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. He earned his law degree from UC Law San Francisco with a concentration in civil litigation and dispute resolution, competed on the negotiation team, and was selected for the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association Summer Trial Fellowship.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Ike is committed to expanding access to justice. He takes on pro bono cases and mentors future trial lawyers through mock trial programs and diversity initiatives. Outside the courtroom, he spends time training, biking, and skiing with his children, reflecting the same discipline and balance he brings to his legal practice.
