John Kristensen

Kristensen Weisberg, LLP

John Kristensen founded Kristensen Weisberg, LLP in 2013 to provide clients with intimate care while their lives are placed on hold due to litigation. After practicing at two of the top plaintiffs’ law firms in California.

John’s experience runs the gamut for not just plaintiffs’ counsel, but litigation in general. John has tried employment and wrongful death trials and obtained numerous several hundred thousand dollar settlements for his clients.

John has litigated against NBC, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Spearmint Rhino, Ford Motor Company, Toyota Motor Company, General Motors, and numerous other large corporations. John spent two years at the Class Action firm, Strange & Carpenter, where he was instrumental in preparing one of the bellwether sudden acceleration cases that resolved in December 2012.

He remains in the role as the youngest attorney appointed to the plaintiffs’ steering committees in the California Toyota Sudden Acceleration cases. Mr. Kristensen spent a number of years in the Bay Area practicing at O’Reilly & Collins, representing plaintiffs in catastrophic cases with an emphasis on aviation and automobile products liability

In May 2010, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accepted Mr. Kristensen’s request to open a timeliness query into the 2005 Toyota steering relay rod recall. Mr. Kristensen uncovered that Toyota had received nearly 40 complaints of the rods’ failing in the United States by October 2004 when Toyota issued the recall for the parts in pickups and 4Runners in Japan, but not the United States.

Toyota told NHTSA at the time they had no similar information in the United States, and that is why Toyota delayed the recall for nearly a year in America. Toyota paid the maximum fine in December 2010 of over $16,000,000.00 as a result of Mr. Kristensen’s investigation. Mr. Kristensen later obtained a landmark Order compelling Toyota Motor Corporation to produce five (5) of their executives from Japan to travel to California for their deposition.

Mr. Kristensen was born in Massachusetts and was raised in North Andover. Mr. Kristensen received his undergraduate degree in Political Science from the University of Oregon. Upon graduation, Mr. Kristensen moved to Los Angeles to work for the California Democratic Party in the 1998 election.
