DIRECTORY

Compliments of

Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi LLP

DISCLAIMER

As of its printing date, this directory represents the most accurate and

up-to-date attainable information regarding all personnel at the

Workers’ Compensation Appeals Boards for the State of California, as

well as for the United States Department of Labor.

Many California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Boards have

instituted a system of regional telephone call centers as an alternative

to direct access to Judges and their secretaries. Different board

locations have different policies regarding the use of these call

centers. We are unable to provide direct telephone numbers.

Please keep in mind this directory is meant only as a guide for

whom to contact at the different boards. Changes in policies and

personnel do and will occur, but the information provided should offer

an initial contact.
