About Jake Stipp, Elder Abuse Attorney
Jake Stipp’s path to becoming one of San Diego’s most respected elder abuse attorneys began with a strong educational foundation and early career experiences that shaped his passion for protecting vulnerable populations. After graduating from Indiana University-Bloomington in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and Criminal Justice, Jake gained valuable real-world experience working for the Social Security Administration.
During his years with the SSA, Jake adjudicated disability claims and received extensive training on medical injuries and their short and long-term effects on human functioning. This experience proved invaluable, giving him deep insight into how injuries and medical conditions impact people’s daily lives and ability to work. His role also involved serving as a union steward, handling grievances for state employees through mediation and arbitration. This work sparked his interest in advocacy and fighting for people who needed someone in their corner.
Motivated by his desire to help individuals fight against deep-pocketed corporations and insurance companies, Jake pursued his Juris Doctor from Golden Gate University School of Law in San Francisco, graduating in 2010. During law school, he realized his calling was as a plaintiff’s attorney, dedicated to helping injured people seek justice.
Since beginning his legal career, Jake has devoted 100% of his practice to personal injury, elder abuse and neglect, and wrongful death cases. His commitment to this focus has paid off, with millions of dollars in settlements secured for his clients. He’s also proven himself as a skilled trial attorney, having tried several cases to verdict, including securing both six and seven-figure jury verdicts in 2015 alone in one of California’s most conservative counties.

Background
Jake’s background with the Social Security Administration gives him a unique advantage in elder abuse cases. His training in medical conditions and their effects on daily functioning helps him understand the full impact of abuse or neglect on seniors. This medical knowledge, combined with his experience as a union steward advocating for employees, prepared him perfectly for fighting on behalf of vulnerable populations.
His courtroom experience sets him apart from attorneys who prefer quick settlements. Jake isn’t afraid to take cases to trial when that’s what it takes to get fair compensation.
