Mr. Brustin has been an avid cyclist for over forty years. He is an accident lawyer who specializes in protecting the rights of injured cyclists. His entire law practice has been limited to cycling cases for the last twenty years. He has handled over 1,000 bicycle accident cases. He continues to personally represent each client.

Mr. Brustin also donates his time to numerous bicycle advocacy organizations. He currently serves on the boards of directors of the League of American Bicyclists in Washington D.C. and the Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition in San Jose. He also served on the board of directors of the California Bicycle Coalition for ten years.

Mr. Brustin's philosophy is simple and parallels virtually every Vehicle Code in the country...."Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles". For some reason motorists are generally unaware of this concept and this is where Mr. Brustin's specialized experience is called into play.

His unique perspective allows him to fully understand all points of view. Sometimes, he rides the accident route to personally appreciate the rider's perspective. He also drives the road in a motor vehicle to evaluate the defendant's view. Ultimately, he can make balanced recommendations to cyclists so they can decide on the most reasonable course of action.

Finally, Mr. Brustin clearly sympathizes with his clients regarding their injuries. He has been involved in several cycling accidents that prevented him from riding for extended periods. He feels that damages relating to "loss of enjoyment of cycling" can best be explained by a fellow cyclist.
