Brian Gearinger has been named a finalist for the Consumer Attorneys of California’s (CAOC) 2025 Consumer Attorney of the Year for his work in Loggervale v. County of Alameda, alongside co-counsel Craig Peters and Joseph May.
In this groundbreaking civil rights case, a jury awarded record-breaking damages to a black mother and her two daughters after sheriff’s deputies unlawfully detained, handcuffed, and searched them without cause. The verdict, the largest in U.S. history for a civil rights case not involving incarceration or physical harm, stands as a powerful condemnation of race-based policing.
The winner will be announced during the Annual Installation and Awards Dinner on November 15th at CAOC’s 64th Annual Convention in San Francisco.
