Bamieh & Erickson Obtains $650,000 Award For Mother Of Murder Victim

On August 6, 2004, a Ventura County judge agreed with Attorney Philip Erickson of the Ventura law firm of Bamieh & Erickson and awarded Carmen Guerrero, the mother of murder victim Olga Solis, $650,000 for the wrongful death of her daughter Olga Solis.  Ms. Solis was murdered by Alberto Mora Solis on April 14, 2002.  A Ventura County jury convicted Alberto Solis of that murder on June 4, 2004.

Mr. Erickson represented Carmen Guerrero before Superior Court Judge Steven E. Hintz.  Judge Hintz ordered a judgment of $650,000 against Mr. Solis after a evidentiary hearing featuring the emotional testimony from family members.

Philip Erickson commented, "I am very pleased that we were able to obtain this judgment within about four months of filing the civil suit.  Mr. Solis has assets which we will use to enforce this judgment.  Hopefully this will bring some solace to the family.  Bamieh & Erickson is proud to represent Ms. Guerrero in the memory of her daughter who was so brutally murdered.  It is one of the most rewarding parts of our practice for me and my partner, Ron Bamieh, to represent victims of crime and help them to piece their lives back together."
