A rising Bakersfield personal injury attorney, Blaine works tirelessly to investigate and prepare complex personal injury cases to achieve justice for those who have been harmed by negligence. With Rodriguez & Associates, he has handled a range of cases, including catastrophic car accidents, civil rights violations by law enforcement, and product liability claims involving defective products. Blaine has been involved with multiple trial teams, contributing to case strategy and advocating for clients facing life-altering injuries, including the team that obtained a $4 million verdict in Kern County Superior Court on behalf of a 28-year-old woman for the wrongful death of her father.
Blaine strongly believes that building a solid case starts with listening, truly understanding clients’ stories, what they have gone through, and what justice means to them. That connection fuels his commitment to achieving significant results and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who need it most.
The first in his family to attend college, Blaine earned his degree in Political Science from UC Berkeley while working multiple jobs to put himself through school. He went on to pursue a career in law, earning his Juris Doctor in 2019 from the UC Davis School of Law and passing the California Bar Exam on his first try. During law school, Blaine took part in the mock trial team and volunteered with outreach programs at local schools.
Born and raised in Kern County, Blaine split his time growing up between the small town of Arvin and nearby Bakersfield. He graduated from Arvin High School in 2011, where he participated in student government, the Academic Decathlon, and was a member of the school’s Valley title-winning tennis team.
His most meaningful high school experience came as a member of his school’s We the People program, a team competition in which students are tested on their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and American government. This program awakened Blaine’s interest in the law and a passion for using it to improve people’s lives. It was also through We the People that Blaine first met Daniel Rodriguez when the Arvin alum volunteered an afternoon to teach the students public speaking skills.
During his final summer of law school, Blaine worked as a law clerk at Rodriguez & Associates, where he first gained practical experience with civil litigation. He came away inspired by the firm’s commitment and ability to champion local residents against powerful corporations and entities that had harmed them. When Daniel Rodriguez recruited Blaine to join the practice following graduation, he jumped at the opportunity to give back to the community that supported him in so many ways.
Outside of work, Blaine enjoys serving as a volunteer We the People coach and judge, exercising, reading, and rooting for the Golden State Warriors.
