I am completely at peace with the decisions I have made in regards to my worker's comp ordeal, and that's thanks to the detailed information I received from Lael and Monelle. This was my first time dealing with compensation from a fall I had at work and Lael was able to answer all my questions I had and made it really easy to understand and was someone who showed professionalism and was very knowledgable about this specific topic. I appreciated their time they gave me and I felt heard and understood. This situation can get tricky to understand, at least that is how I felt, and Lael and Monelle were able to ease my worries. If you ever are in need of help if and when you are injured at work, the Law Office of Lael and Monelle Abaya are the ones to call. Trust me, I'm an educator!

I highly recommend working with Lael for worker's comp issues. He is very compassionate, knowledgeable and has good follow up when dealing with time sensitive issues. His office is very responsive and on top of their stuff. He is also very up front and honest with the likely outcome of the case. I always felt that I was in good hands because I knew every step of the way in the process, what was going on. Highly recommend.

I recently had the privilege of working with Lael Abaya for a worker's compensation claim, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the resolution of my case, every step of the way was handled with professionalism, expertise, and genuine care. Lael demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge in worker's compensation law, explaining my rights and options in a clear and understandable manner. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly evaluate my case, ensuring that I felt supported and informed throughout the process. What truly sets Lael apart is his unwavering dedication to his clients. He fought tirelessly on my behalf, advocating for the compensation I deserved. His attention to detail and strategic approach yielded favorable results, exceeding my expectations. Moreover, the communication from his office was outstanding. I was kept informed of any developments in my case promptly, and my questions were always met with prompt and insightful responses. In addition to his legal expertise, Lael demonstrated genuine empathy and compassion. He understood the challenges I faced due to my injuries and provided invaluable support every step of the way. I cannot recommend Lael highly enough to anyone in need of a worker's compensation lawyer. His expertise, professionalism, and commitment to his clients make him the top choice in his field. If you find yourself in a similar situation, do not hesitate to seek his services.

In 2022 I fell into a 10ft deep empty swimming pool and hurt my ankle enough to have continued pain for years following. Lael and his team helped me get treatment and the settlement I needed in order to get me back into the workforce and out of the debt that this injury caused. I couldn't ask for a better work comp attorney.

Initially, I was trying to deal with Worker's Comp by myself since it was a smooth process up to the surgery, but I ended up getting ignored by the insurance company from getting the needed treatment afterwards. It was frustrating being pushed to the side by the system. Finding Lael was the answer I was looking for. Lael was able to take care of the issues, including finding out that I was shorted by the insurance company. So when the insurance company caused further issues, Lael managed the whole situation so that I did not have to deal with it. If you get injured at work, don't try to deal with it yourself. Find yourself an excellent attorney like Lael Abaya. He is knowledgeable in his field, and will explain to you the process along the way. Save yourself the frustration and headaches, and don't get taken advantaged of by the insurance companies. You want Lael Abaya to be on your corner from the beginning so that you don't have to deal with the messy process. Lael, thank you so much for everything you did for me.

I’m so glad we decided to call such a professional law group of Atty. Lael Abaya & team. They truly helped my injured father. We are very pleased with the services that my father received since the very beginning until the case was closed. They are all very friendly and professional. They constantly updated us and communication was always very smooth. Atty. Abaya was very thorough in explaining everything we needed to know for the best chance of our desired result. We strongly recommend this group.

My family and I are so thankful for Lael who helped us out on our worker’s comp case. He was extremely supportive and is amazing at what he does!

If you ever need a Workers Comp lawyer find Lael Abaya! He is the best! 😊. Lael is compassionate. He is a good listener. He is sweet! But don't be deceived! He is also a relentless fighter! He fought long and hard when everything seemed lost and hopeless! He and wife Attorney Monelle and Assistant Kristine made me feel secured and cared for during the three years of temporary disability. Their service went above and beyond what I expected. I am very happy with the result! His team is a blessing!

I was unfortunate enough to have a PAIR of workplace injury claims with the same company, both separate claims, injuries taking place months apart. Further complicating matters was that (A) i no longer worked for the company, and (B) was in a rather contentious relationship with the 2 separate vipers, er, I mean claims adjusters. Each of whom were giving me clear bouts of spotty information and/or radio silence. I was in pain, confused and in need to some help. By some minor miracle, i was put in touch with the Law Office of Lael Abaya. Having never really dealt with a lawyer, I had some pop culture generated ideas what I might expect. Yet, from call #1, there was an easing to the stress. He is patient, thorough, and has a way of communicating that issues this subtext of: "I know what you're going through, here's what you need to know, and here's where the story is likely to end." And like any good educator, knew how to tailor the message to suit the student and what they could realistically absorb during that particular stage of the relationship. I hope to never ever again be in such a contentious and byzantine process such as a workplace injury claim in the state of California. But i know who i'll be calling if it ever happens to me or someone I know. Straight up: cannot recommend enough the services of the Law Office of Lael Abaya.
