About Deborah Song
Deborah Song founded Empire Attorneys (doing business as Inland Injury) after growing up in Moreno Valley and earning her B.A. from UC Riverside. She started law school at Whittier Law (which closed during her first year), transferred to Western State University College of Law in Irvine to keep her part-time night program, and worked daytime hours at Orange County personal injury trial firms throughout law school to build trial-ready experience before graduation.
Over her career, Deborah Song has helped recover more than $50 million for injured Californians. She is a peer-nominated Super Lawyers Rising Star and is, by her own account, the only full-time personal injury attorney practicing in Norco and Eastvale. She deliberately returned to the Inland Empire after Orange County practice to bring aggressive OC-style representation (especially on property-damage-adjacent damages like diminution in value, loss of use, and GAP coordination) to a region she says is consistently under-served.
Beyond her practice, Deborah Song is a member of the Hispanic Bar Association of the Inland Empire and the Mexican Bar Association (focused on community outreach and educating Inland Empire residents on their rights regardless of immigration status) and serves as Secretary of the Norco Rotary Club, which supports local veterans, senior communities, and student scholarships.

Deborah and her team were wonderful to work with after my car accident as a passenger during an Uber ride. They have all been friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable during the entire process. Deborah made sure to check in with me at every step of the way with the legal matters and her team checked in with me after every medical appointment to ensure that I was getting the treatment I needed. My case just settled and I'm so glad I had Deborah and her team by my side.
