The Cyclist and Attorney:
Lenore Shefman is a cyclist herself, both an avid bicycle and motorcycle rider. While not a competitive athlete, she rides both road and moutain bikes with a competitive spirit. Her passion is helping cyclists who have been hurt by driver negligence. She knows what it is like out on the road. Whether peddling her bicycle or
riding a motorcycle or scooter, it seems like she is always playing in traffic.
As a cyclist, she knows first-hand, car drivers often do not pay attention to cyclists. Cyclists get doored, the right-of-way gets ignored, and roads are not maintained causing bicycle and motorcycle crashes. Thus, Lenore created cyclistlaw.com
as an effort to help cyclists who have been injured.
Lenore has done other work including working for the Office of the State Public Defender as a clerk during law school. This work focused on preserving the rights of
inmates alive on San Quentin's death row. She feels fortunate to have been able to contribute to several habeas corpus briefs eventually submitted to the United States
Supreme Court. She was also able to utilize her background in social work to develop a social history for a client on death row. Other areas of her practice have
included acting as outside general counsel to small business throughout the State of California. Since 2000, Lenore has been practicing in the area of personal injury
and has won millions of dollars in awards for her clients. First Lenore went to work for the insurance companies to learn their evil ways. Then she went to work for
Paul Engler, an amazing plaintiff's attorney who won amazing amounts of money for his clients. He is a meticulous man, and before retiring, he drove judges crazy over
necessary commas in jury instructions prior to trial. His meticulousness paid off and now, the world has Lenore. She is tough as nails, and ready to shred any car
driver who negligently drives over or in the path of we who are cycling to our destinations. Driver negligence is the cause of serious injury and death amongst many
cyclists. Auto, truck, and other motorists need to know, it is time to share the road!
When it comes to advocating for your rights, you can be sure Lenore will be fighting for you. Unafraid of insurance companies and the lawyers they hire to defend
the drivers who caused your injury, Lenore fights to win!
