Reviews

The Samuel Lawrence Foundation has been involved with groundbreaking challenges. Attorney Siegal is our general counsel and his thorough advice continues to prevent many potential pitfalls. His guidance and strategic direction remains invaluable and we are grateful to heed both. Since 2013 his recommendations with regards to our advocacy have proven instrumental for successful outcomes. Case in point involved the San Onofre nuclear power plant and So Cal Edison.

I have read the poor review below and could not disagree more. I hired Joel when my mother was hit by a car. He could have taken advantage of us in any number of ways. Instead, he advised us to settle out of court through mediation when it became clear that mediation would result in far lower expenses and a higher settlement. We did, indeed, receive a very generous settlement that will help my mother deal with the long term effects of the accident. Joel was always honest with us and gave us the best advice he could. In cross examination, he took his time talking with the woman who hit my mother until, after a few hours, he was able to get her to admit that a cell phone was her hand. That was, of course, a game changer. He picked an outstanding mediator - someone that the opposing attorney would respect due to his long experience in the insurance industry - and as a result, negotiations were quick and resulted in a number both sides could agree upon. Furthermore, he fought to reduce medical expenses, negotiating with several insurance companies and the consultants they hired to recover those expenses. Our family is grateful to Joel for the work he has done. And if you still aren't sure he is the right man for the job, check out his website and look at the "in the news" and bio sections. This is not a man that needs to be dishonest in order to make a living; quite the opposite - he champions those who need his services the most.

Joel is a brilliant lawyer and finds unorthodox ways to represent his clients. His discovery is endless and leaves no stone unturned till he finds the winning approach. He is diligent, honest, hard working and informative. Joel represented me in a motorcycle accident and I also recommended Joel to several friends involved in motorcycle or car accidents. In each case Joel was successful getting sizable settlements. In addition to being a great lawyer he truly cares for his clients. I highly recommend Joel.
