Carpenter & Zuckerman represented my personal injury case, and they were so communicative from the start! They were always available for all my questions, and my attorney, Benjamin Berkeley, always communicated and explained everything that was happening in my case. I will always recommend this law firm to family and friends!

We used Carpenter & Zuckerman to represent us for a personal injury case. We are so happy we did! They were quick, upfront, honest, and most importantly, great at their jobs. Michael G. was a champion for us! Do not hesitate to use this law firm.

Please read this before you hire this law firm. I had an accident about 2 years and 9 months ago, where I was the pedestrian and got a head injury due to the negligence of a truck driver. Someone recommended this law firm, in the beginning they sent me to some doctors like chiropractor and physical therapy but later on my msgs and calls were ignored, my medical treatment which was recommended by the same doctors they sent me to were denied by the attorney handling my case. I was told not to use any other outside doctor which can effect my case, but at the same time I was going crazy due to my pain. I was not given a single pill by any of the doctors they sent me to, not even a pain killer. I later started going to Kaiser using my own insurance for check ups and medications. After 2 years and 7 months wait, my attorney finally wanted to settle my case which he told me was going to settle for $150k and said I will receive about $10k-$15k out of that, I told my attorney I trusted you all the way and I don’t think this is enough money to cover even a quarter of my loss due to this accident, he then started scaring me and told me if I don’t settled the case now I may end up paying all those bills for the doctors he sent me to. In those 2 years and 7 months I had lost about $40k-$50k in income plus unimaginable pain and suffering and the money spend using my health insurance. I believe there was no fight on my behalf and it was only a settlement but after 2 years and 7 months wait. I ended up telling the lawyer If he was going to settle the case so easily like this then why did I have to wait this long, and told him if he is only willing to give me less than 15% of the settlement amount then he can just keep that too. He ended up offering me $22k outta the $150k settlement which I was shown no prove of that it was actually settled for $150k. Initially I had sign the agreement to that 33.33% will go to the attorney from the settlement amount plus the medical expenses. At the end attorney took 45%, $23k went to medical expenses which never helped me in my pain not even a single pill was giving to me or any other treatment for my head/brain injury. about $40k went to the law firm itself for their expenses and $22k to me after 2 years and 7 months wait despite the pain and suffer and more than $40k lost in income and left with forever migraine. So how can they tell me they fought for me when they took more than 70% of the settlement amount and left me with about 15% ? I came to this law firm to get justice and they promised to get me justice. Having to experience this, I have lost trust in those who claims to uphold the LAW. So I suggest and warn everyone not to use this law firm. They robbed me and I don’t doubt they will do the same to you. Good luck !

HORRRRRRRRRIBLE LAW FIRM!!!!! No idea how they have a 4.5 star rating. These people are COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE and when you do happen to finally get a hold of them (months later) they tell you there is 0 update on your million dollar + lawsuit. I’ve had my car TOTALED due to the accident yet I still have not received a payout or statement saying that that my car is totaled and they expect me to keep paying a $750 car payment EVERY MONTH for the last 10 months and I DONT EVEN HAVE A WORKING CAR!!!!!!!!! Don’t ever ever ever hire these attorneys. Unfortunately I was recommended to them and it was probably the worst recommendation I’ve had in my entire life. They also refuse to release me as a client because they know I have a huge settlement coming and want to make sure they get paid for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

Following a distressing car accident, I sought the expertise of Carpenter and Zuckerman, grappling with the aftermath of sustaining multiple injuries and the total loss of my vehicle due to another driver's blatant disregard for a red light. Amid my upheaval, I remembered a friend's characterization of Paul Zuckerman as a "Super Tough, yet approachable figure with a generous heart and a distinctive New York Attitude." Their esteemed reputation, I discovered, is indeed well-earned. In the aftermath of a serious accident, one needs more than mere legal representation; one requires a steadfast advocate who not only tirelessly champions your cause but also deeply values your well-being. From the moment I stepped into their office, the sense of being in capable hands was immediate. Despite the firm's acclaim and their distinction as "Super Lawyers," Paul Zuckerman personally offered his guidance, radiating confidence and solace. Right from our initial conversation, I was thoroughly convinced of Carpenter and Zuckerman's commitment to securing the comprehensive compensation I rightfully deserved. Paul's assurance of having a committed team in my corner was exemplified not just in words but in action, particularly by Gabriela, who emerged as an unwavering pillar of support; Ivy Callahan, the Department Director of the Lien Department, who was exceptional in swiftly finding an alternative MRI center, securing an appointment in real time, and seamlessly managing the billing and scheduling details; and Anastasiya, the lien negotiator, who worked tirelessly to ensure my medical bills were negotiated down to the bare minimum. The results of her efforts were beyond my expectations, showcasing the depth of commitment and skill within the team. As my recovery and the legal challenge progressed, Zuckerman and Carpenter assertively confronted the defendant's insurance company, striving for the highest compensation possible. Despite their initial insufficient offer, Paul Zuckerman's steadfast confidence instilled patience in me. His belief in the firm's expertise imbued me with profound trust. Carpenter and Zuckerman's formidable prowess was unmistakably demonstrated, compelling the insurance company to acknowledge their disadvantage against such a tenacious legal force. In a matter of weeks, they conceded to the demanded settlement amount, a testament to the firm's vigorous advocacy recognized by all. Under Paul Zuckerman's leadership, Carpenter and Zuckerman operate with unmatched precision and resolve, mirroring a well-coordinated force dedicated to securing justice for their clients, akin to a seasoned general leading a disciplined infantry into battle. Reflecting on my journey with Carpenter and Zuckerman, it evokes the pinnacle of service excellence, Patrick Mahomes' indomitable spirit, Einstein's intellectual dominance, and the fierce determination of a charging bull. I am profoundly grateful to the entire team, including Anastasiya and Ivy Callahan, for transforming what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a seamless journey of support and resolution. Moreover, even after securing my settlement, the firm maintained frequent updates, ensuring clarity on the progress of my disbursement with comprehensive messages that eliminated any doubt about the status of my case. My heartfelt appreciation extends to Carpenter and Zuckerman for their exceptional service, unwavering dedication, and the continuous, transparent communication that guided me through this journey.

My car was rear ended, aggravating a bulging disc. Carpenter & Zuckerman set up all my doctor appointments and paid for everything up front. They were able to get me a settlement for both my injury case and property damage case. I am very happy with the way they handled my case.

Carpenter & Zuckerman team was very helpful and informative. Especially Edward Cherkezian and Disha Bhagwat. This was my first time doing any of this and they helped me through step by step. Would recommend!

When I needed an attorney for my case, I called several law firms, and got shut down due to the difficulty of my case. It took several phone calls to various law firms in Los Angeles to the point that I almost gave up trying to find representation. I'm glad I did not give up, once I was able to speak about my injuries to the staff at Carpenter & Zuckerman they immediately got me in touch with an attorney that was willing to take my case. They cared about my families well being to the fullest, and they made sure the party at fault did not get away with out taking care of Medical bills, and compensation towards my family. The attorneys that have worked on my case provided superb legal representation, I spoke to several attorneys, and they all cared for our well being, and made sure we got taken care off. Thank you Edward, and team, specially Disha who was the last attorney to contact me you have shown me that you really care for the Angelinos who sometimes have to face big corporations, and Insurance companies, we don't have to face them alone. You make it easy for us. So if you are looking for amazing representation Carpenter & Zuckerman will go above, and beyond for you, from The Law Firms Partners to the associates to the staff everyone here has one main focus, and that is their clients are 100% VIP's. Thank you Carpenter & Zuckerman, and Team.

Dedicated to served and to get you the best results possible always on the line of fire for you
