About Maurer Law

We prosecute personal injury, wrongful death, and elder abuse cases—primarily in Sacramento, Placer, Nevada, and El Dorado counties. Most cases involve auto crashes (including dangerous roadway claims), plus falls, dog bites, and defective products. Our elder abuse cases focus on injuries or death caused by reckless neglect in skilled nursing and residential care facilities.

Our main office is in Auburn, across from the Historic Placer County Courthouse. We also have satellite offices in Grass Valley, Lincoln, and Truckee for client meetings and trial prep.

We’re deeply committed to serving and improving our community—through our work, marketing, networking, and how we interact with clients, opposing counsel, and the courts.

We’re looking for someone who wants to plant roots in Placer County and align with our values and principles.
