Mr. McLaughlin was admitted to the California Bar in 2014 and was hired on as an attorney at Trovillion, Inveiss & Demakis, APC that same year.  As an attorney, Mr. McLaughlin’s duties include drafting pleadings, handling depositions, making court appearances, conducting legal research, preparation of AME/QME cover letters and other associated file-handling duties.  In August of 2017, Mr. McLaughlin agreed to accept the challenge to transfer to our firm’s Santa Ana office to assist in managing and growing the firm’s practice in that venue.
