Ryan - thank you so much for all your help. I hired Ryan after being involved in a car accident. My car was struck by a truck and completely totaled. Ryan and his team got me and my family to the best doctors and took care of all my legal needs. I owe him A LOT.

I found Ryan after I had a major issue with my landlord. He was mistreating me and the property. I thought I was doomed with no rights, but after I met with Ryan he explained to me that that wasn't the case. He went after my landlord and got me a major settlement and got me out of that filthy apartment. He is amazing. His team is amazing. He was so attentive and thoughtful in everything that he did for me. I would highly recommend him.

I'll try to make this very long story short: my husband got hurt on the job, not once, but twice! After the first injury, we went through his company's clinic for treatment and physical therapy, then came the paperwork riddled with all sorts of legal terminology that was beyond our understanding. In the end, the company's medical team found him to be clear to return to his full work duties. However, this was not the case. He was still in constant pain but we thought we had no other option so he returned to work. I won't reveal the name of the company but it's a very well known food manufacturer and my husband's position was very physically demanding. Fast forward six months later, he's injured again. This time we weren't going to just go with whatever his company's team said. A very good friend of mine who is a Family Law attorney referred us to the Almighty Jessica Rafipour. I contacted her by phone, told her the basics of the situation and she scheduled us to come to her office to meet in person. Anyone who has had to go through a LEGITIMATE worker's comp case knows the stress and frustration you feel with all the paperwork, doctor appointments, therapy appointments, phone calls, etc. I stress LEGITIMATE because there are fraudulent claims out there and those claims are the reason why people who are LEGITIMATELY injured have to go through so much to be compensated. Worker's comp is such a long, drawn out process that just drains you daily. Your patience is truly tested when going through it. My husband and I thank God for Jessica Rafipour because she literally went above and beyond for my husband's case. She explained the way that the worker's comp process works. She explained all the paperwork we had received from his first injury. She kept us updated throughout the entire case. She made sure that my husband's surgery was performed by one of the top surgeons in California. Without Jessica, I don't know what we would have done. In the end, she got my husband's case settled for an amount that was more than what we were expecting. With my husband's first injury, we had no idea what to do except for what his company told us to do. That was a mistake. But with his second injury, it ultimately led us to Jessica Rafipour and we are forever grateful for it! If you find yourself with a work-related injury and don't know where to turn, save yourself a lot of stress and frustration: CALL JESSICA RAFIPOUR!!! It will be the best phone call you ever made!

Jessica Rafipour is very thorough with her work and what she does. For my first time in a situation like workers comp, she walked me thru every step of what needed to be done and what i should be expecting thru my situation. Every questions and need to know basis was always answered in time. I highly recommend Jessica Rafipour and her law firm to anyone with any help needed for work or anything else.

I owe Jessica a tremendous amount of gratitude for how she handled my legal case, although my case started with quite a few bumps Jessica glided through it with passion that only a personal friend would and i only met her at the beginning of this case. Her clarity, professionalism and knowledge helped me get a settlement way above my expectations , all my questions where fulfilled with simplicity , she gilded me through the process as a friend would and from reading the other reviews about her, i am not alone , I highly recommend her not only as a lawyer but also as a friend, she is a winner, THANK YOU JESSICA .

I am extremely grateful to attorney Azad Marvazy for accepting and winning my California EDD Unemployment appeal case. Azad listened intently to my unusual appeal case and researched the law aggressively, finding a way to fight it successfully. I had never been involved with EDD Unemployment before and was intimidated by the appeal process. Azad put my mind at ease by walking me through the process and confirming I had a case worth fighting. He answered all my questions in a timely manner, returning calls and emails within a day. Azad was thorough, professional and detail oriented. I never doubted his ability to win our case because he dotted every “i” and crossed every “t”. I cannot express my gratitude enough. If you are looking for an advocate to fight a California EDD Unemployment appeal case, I strongly recommend Azad Marvazy with the Light Law Group.

Attorney Azad Marvazy possesses a extraordinarily high level of stewardship with regards to his knowledge in the practice area of Labor and Employment Law. He was able to provide consultation to me for my case which ultimately allowed me to seek a favorable adjudication in my case. Attorney Marvazy is able to carefully deliberate the smallest of the clients details which allows him to have a high level of awareness within his own self consciousness. Inevitably this awareness allows him to exercise his knowledge in three dimensions to the client which is a very rare trait to find in his profession. I would highly recommend the use of his services to anyone in need of an Attorney with excellent professional skills.

After I got into a car accident, I contacted the services of a law firm through word of mouth and it was one of the worst decisions I have ever made!!! They represented me so poorly that I had no choice but to look for representation elsewhere. I found amazing reviews online about the MOVAGAR & YAMIN, P.L.C. Law Firm and initially I spoke to another lawyer, Brian, who spent his own time hearing all the details of my case despite that he could not represent me just so that he could refer me to Steven who was a better match for my case. With all the odds against me in this case due to the lack of communication and misinformation provided to me by the first law firm, Steven did more than what I believe was necessary to get me what was justly deserved. He was very thorough, always followed up with every new detail in regards to my case, and responded quickly whenever I had questions or concerns. I cannot recommend his service enough!! My case finally came to an end after a long 2 years and I cannot express how thankful I am to have met Steven, if only he was my lawyer from the beginning then my hardships would not have been so tiresome!! Now that I have hands on experience with what a difference having a great lawyer by your side makes, I will continue to highly recommend Steven's services to anyone who is looking for an amazing representation or is unhappy with their current law firm and demands better representation!

Nick Movaghar and Steve Yamin were both amazing at everything they did to help me both emotionally and financially. Seriously, even when I asked them a million questions that were unnecessary… just because I was worried about whatever it was, they still handled everything so professionally and they were just really helpful with everything… the car accident, the shop I got my car repaired at, the hospital, the therapy clinic, not to mention ALL the paperwork and ALL the medical bills were handled properly and correctly. These 2 guys ARE the best lawyers in LA when it comes to dealing with a car accident and a neck & back injury… I'm sure they deal with more cases than just that… But I am speaking strictly from my point of view and my case. I'm telling you all now, Nick Movaghar and Steve Yamin are the way to go! You can trust them 120%. -Elie

I highly recommend Attorneys Joshua Kopple and Michael Kopple to people who got hurt or discriminated against by others. About three years ago, I suffered physical injury caused by faulty construction. An attorney friend of mine told me at the time he did not believe I could receive much compensation for my injury. He nevertheless recommended Attorneys Joshua Kopple and Michael Kopple, saying it would not hurt to let them hear what happened. So, I did not have high expectations when I met them. Boy I was wrong. "On Day One, they visited the accidental scene to collect favorable evidence" They worked tirelessly during the next three years. Dealing with the insurance company…. They were always available throughout the three year process whenever I had a question and they always put my interest first. A long story short, their hard work, experience, and smart strategy led to a large settlement last month that was far beyond what I expected. So, what more can I say? "Attorney Joshua Attorney Michael has unrelenting determination to fight for his client and does not back down, while Attorney Michael possesses a strong trait of rational judgment, making the combination of the two sibling lawyers fantastic."

Since the day I first consulted with Robert and Omar I felt a sense of ease and confidence. In that call, and every other thereafter, they conveyed understanding and compassion. I felt that they truly heard me and would advocate wholeheartedly on my behalf. I had been referred to them by a trusted friend who I now view as an angel. Why? The answer is easy. Without Robert and Omar, I believe I would be in a much darker place today. Robert and Omar are highly experienced. They know the playbook. Heck they probably wrote part of it. A legal dispute is rarely cut and dry. It’s like a tennis match with the ball being lobbed back and forth into different parts of the court. Robert and Omar were agile. They complement each other very well. They adjusted strategies as necessary to get us the desired result. In the event that you need the services they offer, you’re likely to be feeling a lot of emotion and stress. I would highly recommend these two fine people. Consult with them. They will be clear, honest and upfront. Should it move forward, you can rest easy knowing that they will fight vigorously on your behalf. They not only helped me bring justice, they helped me to be able to move forward with pride and dignity. I am forever grateful to them both!

There is a culture throughout the office that the client is important and concerns are met with responsiveness and compassion.

This is a legal office that cares about the client, enough to return phone calls and emails. Sean and staff are helpful, concerned and extremely supportive. Sean, Negin and Chris are present, professional and fully competent. They have gone out of their way to be available and supportive even when it was not their responsibility to be there for me. They are knowledgeable, have legal expertise and are proficient in accomplishing the best possible outcome. I want to emphasis how grateful I am for their support when I needed them the most.

If you want victory, he is the attorney to call. I could not afford to hire him because of the high retainer required when a case is so close to the trial date (4 weeks), but he did give me a referral to another attorney, and I should know soon if this attorney will be able to help me.

Rather than having a staff of 20 attorneys just out to settle cases, Mr. Papell worked with me directly. He went above and beyond to us the best results, even better than we were expecting, due to his knowledge, experience and perseverance. He took the time to prepare me for every aspect of our case and made sure I understood the process step by step. He was never more than a phone call or email away.

22 Jun, 2015 by A personal injury client
As a teenager, I was in need of legal representation after having been in an auto accident that, over time, rendered me unable to use my dominant hand. With little to no parental presence or guidance behind me, I was leery of seeking representation from those who were eager to discuss their commission and fees; who saw easy financial gain when a young girl walked through their door. After doing extensive research and taking multiple interviews, Ron was without a doubt the clear choice and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to obtain his counsel. Ron was confident that he could help me and turned out to be exactly what I needed: a no-nonsense, staunch, morally upstanding lawyer, who would adamantly fight for me. Though courtroom results proved to be only a small fraction of what it meant to have Ron on my side. More importantly, he was genuinely concerned for my wellbeing, exemplified by the constant kindness and compassion he showed me. His intention was not solely to win my case; he was equally, if not more determined to make sure I regained as much use in my hand as I could. While winning my case would provide me with the financial means to obtain necessary medical treatment in the future, Ron and his staff were steadfast in their search and didn’t waste any time before getting me to the best doctors throughout the course of my litigation process, ensuring that I got the immediate medical attention necessary to reduce my ever-present pain, help me regain mobility, and break me free from the defensive nature I’d adopted to protect my hand from further injury. Words cannot express how important time is to someone wrapped up in litigation with an injury such as mine. Procuring treatment was something that could not wait if long-term damage was to be minimized. My health being the top priority made me feel like I was in good hands with Ron and his team at The Law Offices of Ronald M. Papell. What also made me comfortable and confident in my decision to have Ron represent me were the things they did day in and day out. Never was I left uninformed as to the direction of my case– he and his staff always kept me updated about every move they made and where we stood. Nor was I ever left without an explanation in regards to any and every part of the legal process- for which I remain especially thankful. I have the utmost respect for Ron and the way he carries himself, handles his cases, and deals with his clients. He truly is an honest and decorous lawyer. While others insinuated that I should lie, exaggerate or accentuate my condition, Ron forbade such things. His ability to separate what he would do – what he could do – and what is best for his clients is no better exemplified than in the final moments before reaching a settlement in what had become a seemingly endless mediation: when Ron turned to me and confessed that he’d be lying if he didn’t say that he wanted to go to court and do what he does best. I was blown away by the honesty, especially because it was not a statement made in conceit or as a means to dissuade me from a settlement I was agreeable to, but as an earnest admission that he wished he could have done more for me, that I was worth fighting for, and that he wanted to give me his all. For an attorney of such savvy and stature as Ron to put himself second to what was best for me, only goes to speak to his great character and the enduring morality he brings to the practice of law. Ron is an amazing attorney who cares about the well being of his clients, going above and beyond to ensure that their quality of life reaches a higher standard as a result of his counsel. I am eternally grateful for the significant role he has played in my life and wouldn’t think twice about recommending him to anyone in need of legal representation!

Probably one of the best attorneys I have ever worked with. He really is a godsend. Originally, I had an older lawyer, and he was not doing a good job at all. Three years in court with no results. I fired him and Hired Richard. In less than a year Richard got the 4 unit apartment building transferred into my name that my mother had left me in her will. He really took it to the opposing council at trial. We are waiting for the Judge's decision now. I feel optimistic about the outcome. So glad he was recommended to me. He is worth every penny

I was referred to Richard by my mother’s previous attorney. When I called him, I needed a legal guardian for my elderly mother to make sure another family member was not pressuring her to do anything against her will. She needed objective legal advice and Richard provided her with that. We came to Richard in a time of emotional upheaval within our family. He explained everything to my mother in calm manner and took care of all the tedious work we just couldn’t handle. He made sure that my mother’s best interest was the focus of every document that came our way. These situations can surely be a nightmare—having your family squabble over their own agenda can be devastating. It is important to have someone like Richard to ease your anxiety. He is a very seasoned, experienced attorney with a calming personality and an ability to disarm even the most difficult of characters. Thank you Richard!!

Richard was able to work with my brother and I during a conservatorship proceeding regarding my mother. We were at conflict with her second husband. Richard was able to deal with my brother and I as we got emotional during the negotiations before we went to court. He helped us come to an agreement that was agreed to by both parties before the courts were involved. Richard also really seemed to be cognizant of the cost and in my opinion tried to keep it as low as he could for us. This was appreciated.

I went to The Tenants Law Firm and was introduced to Daniel. He was forthright regarding my case. I sent requested information. At a time I needed to talk with Daniel, he was there. Daniel is assertive, smart and absolutely cares for those he represents. I wasn’t ready at the time we met, but definitely am now and want very much to have Daniel represent me. I’ll keep you posted. If you’re a tenant, promptly get representation. Contact Tenant’s Law Firm at the beginning. I kept wanting to work it out with the landlord and without attorneys, this was a major error on my part. Daniel is a stellar attorney.

I came to Brian on a friend’s recommendation for an injury related case, and was very pleased with his work and outcome. He was able to guide me through the legal process with care and confidence, and was always friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. I think would certainly use his legal services again in the future and recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thanks, Brian!

Hire Scott now, he helped me beat Wells Fargo! Yes Wells Fargo... Over a couple of emails exchanged Scott gave me the tools, guidance I needed to represent myself against Wells Fargo. His help eventually led to me becoming self-employed as a real estate investor. There is nothing I can do for Scott, but what he has done for me is invaluable.

My name is Jason Godfrey and I am the owner of Sagos Tavern in Las Vegas. I have been using Mr. Silver for my contractual real estate needs for the last 5 years. He has proven multiple times to be more than worth the investment. Specifically Mr. Silver has helped me renegotiate a lease, create a new lease and resolve a dispute with a unreasonable landlord. If you need someone in your corner that will fight for you, than you need Mr. Silver.

When no one else could help, the Law Offices of Gary J. Kim provided me with all of the help i needed regarding my U.S. visa.

First, I’d like to start off by saying that if I could give The Accident Guys 8 stars I would. I have never experienced so much professionalism and punctuality in my entire life. The lawyer that took on my case was Eliot M. Houman. He is the best of the best for the following reasons: 1. Eliot is a MAN OF HIS WORD. If Eliot says that he is going to do something, HE WILL. That is a priceless trait. 2. My accident took place in September 2016. Eliot scheduled me to see the investigator the following day after my accident. That is unheard of. 3. Eliot was very prompt! He answered all of my questions and returned all of my calls. I had many questions because I just moved to California from Boston and it was a very traumatizing experience. 4. He gave me updates about my case and took care of everything. He went out of his way to help me obtain the documents pertinent to my case. 5. He’s very honest. He walked me through my case and gave me great advice. 6. HE GENUINELY CARES ABOUT HIS CLIENTS! He frequently called me to ask how physical therapy was going. It’s those little things that mean the world to me and show me that this was more than just a case to him. I would advise that everyone go see Eliot because he is genuinely a great person. Not only Eliot was an amazing lawyer, the entire accident team was amazing, prompt and professional. I have already made one referral before my case closed and would encourage you to try them out as well!

John is very smart and successfully have represented me in two different occasions with a couple accidents while riding my Vespas. In each occasion he provided me with strong recommendations, and would explain all the details in layman’s term. He is quite professional and fought for me like a pit-bull and created fear in the eyes of the most pompous opposing attorneys. He does care about helping others and making sure your body and mind are healthy instead of just wanting what is inside your wallet. He is a warm person and has also become a friend. He surely delivered a homerun for me and you too will be in great hands. MP Westwood, CA

I’ve been doing career and business counseling in Los Angeles for 37 years, so I’m super aware of the culture of any company I do business with. That’s why I am SO impressed with the warmth, real interest and level of service that John Nojima provided me. Although my case wasn’t a lucrative one for him, he treated me with caring respect and spent time and energy helping me. This level of service and generosity is reflected in his wonderful Legal Assistant, Natalie Castenada, who also went “above and way beyond.” These are great people who do a great job. I will enthusiastically recommend them to any friend or client in need of an accident attorney.

In the beginning of this year I was unfortunately rear ended by a cab driver. A friend of mine had recommended to call John instead of just going through insurance myself and it was definitely the best decision I have made. Not only was he incredibly helpful but so was his staff. They were always there to answer my questions in added provided great recommendations for all my service providers and even arranged me appointments. In addition John also made sure I received a fair settlement. Fingers crossed I never have another car accident; however, if I do I will definitely be calling John Nojima again. Thank you John.

I had a great experience with Mr.Piibe from the first consultation in person to the end of the case. My immigration case was very complicated to a point where not many attorneys were interested in taking it. Mr.Piibe was the 4th attorney for me and the last one. He was very attentive to all the issues in the case, took very personable approach, made me feel he cared for me and the case, and not just another "case in the box". He took a deeper dive into it and worked very hard. He made sure the case was well prepared. Every time I contacted him with questions about the case he would get back to me right away and always with a lot of attention to all the details in answering. Due to his knowledge and diligence it got approved at the end. Highly recommend him, especially if your case is a complicated one.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
