About Monica Burneikis

Monica Burneikis founded Burneikis Law in 2020 with one core commitment: keep the caseload small enough that every client gets her direct attention. That means you get Monica on the phone, Monica in depositions, Monica in the courtroom if it comes to that.

Burneikis Law is on Franklin Street in downtown Oakland, two blocks from the Rene C. Davidson Courthouse. Monica is admitted to practice before all California state courts and the United States District Courts for the Northern and Central Districts of California. That federal court access matters in cases involving government defendants, federal law claims, and complex litigation matters.

Monica also handles cases against governmental entities arising from negligence. Claims against public agencies and government actors involve a distinct set of procedural requirements — including strict notice deadlines and specialized filing rules under the Government Claims Act — that many general practice attorneys are not equipped to navigate. If you were harmed due to the negligent actions of a government actor or public agency, Burneikis Law has the experience to handle both the procedural demands of government claims practice and the litigation that may follow. Monica's familiarity with these claims ensures that critical deadlines are met and that her clients' rights are fully preserved from the outset.

The REsults You Deserve

Why Clients Choose Burneikis Law

Personal attention from your attorney. At Burneikis Law, Monica is always reachable. Every client receives her direct phone line and email address from day one. While a dedicated support staff assists with the day-to-day demands of each case, Monica is personally involved at every stage and available when it matters most. You will never be passed off to a case manager or left waiting for a callback from someone who does not know your file.

Trial-ready representation changes what you are offered. Insurance adjusters know which attorneys go to trial and which ones settle everything to avoid it. That difference shows up in the numbers. Monica is experienced in law and motion, formal discovery, and courtroom advocacy.

Statewide representation. Burneikis Law handles cases throughout California. Whether your matter arises in the Bay Area, the Central Valley, Southern California, or anywhere in between, Monica and her team are equipped to pursue your case wherever it needs to go.

Federal court access. Admission to the Northern and Central Districts of California means Monica can file federal claims directly. Most solo personal injury attorneys cannot.

Government claims practice. Cases against public agencies and government actors require strict compliance with the Government Claims Act, including tight notice deadlines and specialized procedural rules. Monica has extensive experience navigating these requirements and protecting her clients' rights from the very start.

Oakland is her home base. Monica's office is in downtown Oakland. Her recognition comes from Oakland and Alameda County. When you call, you are reaching an attorney who is genuinely rooted in this community.

5 Star Review

I was rear-ended and hurt in an accident on Grizzly Peak in the Berkeley Hills. Not long after that, Monica sent me a follow-up call to ensure professionalism and appreciation for my situation. The contact and devotion of Monica to my case remained excellent through and through. I am grateful for the services given and would recommend them in a heartbeat.
