About Urban Law
A family name that's stood with California workers for over 50 years
Urban Law, Inc. — the Law Offices of John M. Urban — is a family workers' compensation practice rooted in Montebello and serving working people across greater Los Angeles. For more than five decades, we've done one thing: represent injured workers, and only injured workers.
Our story
What began as a small neighborhood practice has grown into a firm that working families across the region turn to when they've been hurt on the job. Through every change in the law and the economy, one thing hasn't moved: our commitment to the people we represent.
[FIRM TO CONFIRM] Founding year, founder name, and full firm history details. We've populated this section with general, accurate language and flagged the specifics for your review before the site goes public.
We're local. We know the doctors, the clinics, and the courts that handle workers' compensation cases in Los Angeles County — and we know how the insurance companies operate. That institutional knowledge, built over generations, is what we put to work for every person who walks through our door.
We're not a settlement mill and we're not a volume operation. We take the time to understand your injury, your job, and what your recovery looks like — because that's how you get the benefits you actually deserve, not just the first number an adjuster offers.

What we believe
Injured workers first
We represent injured workers only — never employers, never insurance companies. Our interests never conflict with yours.
Plain talk
We explain your rights and your options in words you can understand, with no legalese and no runaround. You always know where you stand.
Relentless follow-through
We don't let files gather dust. We chase deadlines, push back on delays, and stay on the insurance company until your case is resolved.
