Introduction
Alex Cha served in the United States Army during Operation Desert Storm before transitioning into law, eventually shifting his legal practice from business law to personal injury after recognizing that injured individuals needed a genuine advocate, someone he describes as a voice for the voiceless. That personal motivation shapes how Alex Cha Law, also known as Cha Cha Cha Law, operates from its office at 707 Wilshire Boulevard, Floor 46, Los Angeles, California 90017. The firm handles personal injury and lemon law cases, reached at (213) 351-3513 or by mobile at (323) 464-6424. With 15 or more years of legal experience, Alex Cha brings both the discipline of military service and the strategic thinking of business law to the advocacy-driven work of personal injury and consumer protection.
No upfront costs, no fees unless the case wins, and active help obtaining medical care while the case proceeds, those are the terms the firm offers. For clients who have just been injured and face the simultaneous stress of physical recovery, insurance calls, and medical bills, the practical support structure Alex Cha Law provides is as important as the legal representation itself.
Practice Areas
Personal Injury
Car Accidents
Car accident cases form a core part of the personal injury practice. In Los Angeles, the volume of traffic and the variety of road conditions mean vehicle collision claims are common and range from low-speed rear-end collisions to high-speed freeway crashes causing severe injury. The firm handles the full process of documenting injuries, managing insurance negotiations, and pursuing litigation when insurers do not offer fair compensation.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck accidents in California often involve multiple parties beyond the truck driver, including the trucking company, the cargo shipper, and the truck’s maintenance service. Federal regulations governing hours of service, vehicle inspections, and cargo loading create additional liability considerations that distinguish truck cases from standard vehicle accidents. Injuries in truck accidents tend to be severe given the size and weight differential between commercial vehicles and passenger cars.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accident victims in Los Angeles contend with both serious physical injuries and the challenge of overcoming bias from insurance adjusters who may assume the motorcyclist was partly responsible. Alex Cha Law builds motorcycle accident cases from the evidence up, establishing what occurred and who caused it rather than accepting assumptions about motorcyclist behavior.
Bicycle Accidents
California law requires drivers to give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing. When that rule or other traffic laws are violated and a cyclist is injured, the driver’s liability may be clear from the facts. The firm handles bicycle accident claims and understands how to document cycling injuries, which often involve orthopedic trauma, road rash, and head injuries.
E-Scooter Accidents
Electric scooter accidents present a relatively new category of personal injury claims in Los Angeles. Whether the scooter rider was struck by a vehicle, injured by a defective scooter, or harmed by a dangerous road condition, the firm handles the liability analysis and insurance negotiations applicable to these cases.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian accident cases in Los Angeles involve some of the most serious injury patterns in personal injury law because pedestrians have no physical protection when struck by a motor vehicle. Recovery in pedestrian cases addresses medical treatment costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term disability impacts.
Premises Liability and Slip and Fall
Property owners in California owe visitors a duty of reasonable care. When that duty is breached through a failure to inspect, maintain, or warn about dangerous conditions, injured visitors have premises liability claims. Slip and fall cases on wet floors, uneven pavement, or in poorly maintained commercial spaces fall within this category.
Fire and Burn Injuries
Burn injury cases arise from fires, chemical exposure, and electrical accidents. The medical treatment for serious burns is extensive, often requiring hospitalization, grafting procedures, and prolonged rehabilitation. The damages calculation in burn injury cases includes both the cost of that treatment and the long-term impact on a client’s function and quality of life.
Dog Bite Attacks
California applies strict liability for dog bites, placing responsibility on the dog’s owner regardless of whether the dog had previously shown any aggressive tendencies. The firm handles dog bite cases, including those involving severe injuries requiring reconstructive treatment.
Lemon Law
California’s lemon law provides strong protections for consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles. When a manufacturer or authorized dealer fails to repair a substantial defect after a reasonable number of attempts, the consumer may be entitled to a replacement vehicle or a full refund. Importantly, the manufacturer is typically required to pay the consumer’s attorney fees when a lemon law claim succeeds, which means lemon law representation often costs the client nothing.
Alex Cha Law represents clients with lemon law claims covering both new and leased vehicles and motorcycles. The firm handles defects in vehicles from a wide range of manufacturers: Toyota, Honda, Ford, Nissan, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Tesla, and Volkswagen, among others. Defects that qualify for lemon law protection include recurring mechanical failures, safety system malfunctions, electrical problems, and any substantial defect that affects the vehicle’s use, value, or safety and that the manufacturer has been unable to correct through repeated repair attempts.
Attorney Profile
Alex Cha served in the United States Army and was deployed during Operation Desert Storm before pursuing a legal career. He accumulated over 15 years of legal experience, beginning in business law before transitioning to personal injury and lemon law representation. His stated motivation for the shift, being “a voice for the voiceless,” reflects a view of legal practice as service to individuals who face significant power imbalances against insurance companies and vehicle manufacturers. His combination of military discipline, business law analytical background, and personal injury advocacy provides a distinctive professional foundation. The firm serves clients in both English and Korean.
Location and Service Area
The office is located at 707 Wilshire Boulevard, Floor 46, in downtown Los Angeles, California 90017. The Wilshire Boulevard address places the firm in one of Los Angeles’s primary business corridors, accessible from throughout the Los Angeles metro area.

Client Focus
Alex Cha Law operates on a full contingency basis: no upfront costs, no hourly fees, and no payment unless the case results in a recovery. Beyond the fee structure, the firm actively helps clients obtain medical care while their case is pending, and manages insurance negotiations and medical billing so that clients can focus on physical recovery rather than administrative complexity. For Korean-speaking clients, the availability of legal services in Korean removes a substantial communication barrier that might otherwise limit access to representation.
The firm’s practical support structure, combining contingency representation, medical care coordination, and insurance management, reflects an understanding that an injured person’s financial and logistical challenges do not pause while the legal case proceeds.
FAQ
Does Alex Cha Law handle Korean-language cases?
Yes. Alex Cha Law provides legal services in both English and Korean, making the firm accessible to Korean-speaking clients in the Los Angeles area who prefer to communicate in their primary language throughout the representation.
What vehicles qualify for California lemon law protection?
California’s lemon law covers new and leased vehicles, including motorcycles, that have a substantial defect covered by the manufacturer’s warranty that the manufacturer or authorized dealer has been unable to repair after a reasonable number of attempts. The defect must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. Most consumer vehicles from major manufacturers are covered, and the manufacturer is typically required to pay attorney fees when the claim succeeds.
How does the firm help clients obtain medical care after an accident?
The firm assists clients in connecting with medical providers who treat accident victims, often on a lien basis where payment for treatment is deferred until the case resolves. This arrangement allows injured clients to receive necessary medical care even before a settlement or verdict, without immediate out-of-pocket expense.
What happens if my e-scooter was defective and caused my accident?
If a defective scooter caused the accident, a product liability claim against the manufacturer may be available in addition to or instead of a premises or traffic negligence claim. The firm investigates the cause of e-scooter accidents to identify all available theories of liability and sources of recovery.
What is the difference between a replacement and a refund under California lemon law?
A replacement provides the consumer with a comparable new vehicle in exchange for the defective one. A refund returns the purchase price, including applicable taxes, fees, and finance charges, minus a mileage offset for use of the vehicle before the defect first arose. The consumer can typically elect between the two remedies.
