This law firm does not see the lawyers themselves at all, they are all Chinese employees (they are not lawyers) handling cases, my child was injured and fractured while going to school at the home of Teacher Chen (Taiwanese women are not teachers pretending to be teachers) in Luogang School District, 06/06/ In 2022, I entrusted Scott Warmuth Law Firm to represent the child's case. At that time, I appointed a lawyer named ERIC JOHNSON (later, I inquired from the California Bar Association that he was qualified as a California lawyer in March 2022). I found it on www.avvo.com The lawyer with the same name who has practiced for more than 20 years thought it was this lawyer and agreed to use this lawyer, but I have never met one person since I entered the law firm, and I have never given any legal advice. It is all Chinese employees who provide legal advice (according to US regulations, non-lawyers are not all provide legal advice), I suspect that the signatures of the contract lawyers are all fake. The child’s treatment has not yet ended, and I have to ask how much the medical expenses will be. In September, I will pay them the medical expenses, and one of their Chinese employees will handle the case. Said that he would not represent my child’s case anymore. Said he sent us a notification letter. My receiving address was normal, but I didn’t receive the letter. Later, I asked him to send an email. I saw that the date was early August, and the signature was signed. The lawyer is not the original lawyer. I don’t know if it was signed by a Chinese employee. I was delayed for a month and I didn’t call to inform me why it was not the same lawyer. The answer is that they have many lawyers! The case can be given to any lawyer, and I have never seen it. Such a bad law firm, everyone looking for a lawyer must see the lawyer himself, don't ask a Chinese manager to handle the case!

I was looking for an attorney for my parents. I wanted to help them get set up with a trust. I had called other law firms, but it was difficult to talk to an attorney. I then called this office and was able to get scheduled for a free consultation with an attorney right away. Not only was Jonathan friendly, but he made things very easy to understand. He was also a Spanish-speaker which I wanted for my parents. Best part was his services were affordable. My parents were also very happy with him. I recommend.

I would not give any stars for this company. I had dealt with Chris Kiernan in evicting a nonpaying tenant back in 2022. Chris Kiernan was not communicative with me at all throughout the almost two years (10/2020 - 8/2022) that it took to evict the tenant. I had to follow up constantly to see what the status was, and often times I wouldn't receive a response back until a month after I send the initial follow up email. The company ended up serving the papers the wrong person, the judgment/writ of execution/possession was filed incorrectly and needed to be resubmitted 2-3 times to the court. There were also significant delays that were avoidable with getting the sheriff to accompany us to change the locks to the property. From 1/2022, I was informed that the writ of possession was received and he would sent it to the sheriff so that we could change the locks with the sheriff that following week. It wasn't until four months later in 5/2022 that I took matters into my own hands and called the sheriff's office since I wasn't getting any updates from Chris. They informed me that the writ was sent back to the lawyer's office as it didn't include the cashier's check and the case number was written incorrectly. Chris resubmitted it for processing with the sheriff and told me that it was delivered, but when I called the sheriff, they said they didn't receive anything. Working with this company was extremely frustrating. Multiple documents needed to be resubmitted for processing with the courts and sheriff's office. I understand this was during a time of COVID where processing get delayed; however these delays were due to multiple avoidable user errors. Overall, I would not recommend this company to people dealing with evictions.

I had some property line issues a couple months back and Scott gave me the advice I needed to move forward. I wasn't sure how to go about the situation, he gave guidance and insight on how things work. I outreached to a few attorneys and none of them got back to me but Scott took the time to reach me and help me out right away. Thank you guys.

Dr. Zinman is a kind and caring attorney. I wish there were more people like him in this world. Although, he couldn't take my case because I live so far away. Out of the kindness of his heart, he advised me on how to protect myself from the negligent and unscrupulous dentist who ruined my veeners. Dr. Zinman clearly doesn't like it when the community gets taken advantage of. Because he was quick to share his wealth of expert knowledge for free with me and guided me step by step through the process. I have received multiple e-mails from Dr. Zinman, some times just checking in on me and providing answers to all my questions. I am so grateful for him. I highly recommend Dr. Zinman to everyone, he will go above and beyond for you. Like he did for me. Not only is Dr. Zinman an attorney with 30 years of dental malpractice experience, but he is also a former dentist. Which is why he's so brilliant at what he does. When I was researching for a dental malpractice attorney. I kept seeing many articles online regarding big money judgments for dental malpractice cases won by Dr. Zinman (look them up). I even read that he has sued Western Dental over 60 times and won. I was impressed and happy to see someone fighting for the underdogs, against the big corporate dental chains. Thank you Dr. Zinman for helping me and others in our desperate time of need. I'm blessed to know, such a devoted, highly intelligent, honest and caring professional as Dr. Zinman. May all the good you do, come back to you!

Mr. Zinman was admitted as a PRO HAC VICE on my sig dental malpractice in Virginia, and I subsequently filed non-suit shortly after Mr. Zinman and my attorney released the designation of experts testimony, since they never allowed me to review any of the dental records that the dentist presented, they never deposed any of the former employees that I recommended that had significant information, nor did they explain how they arrived at their decision which was contrary to my deposition as well as my excellent dental expert's opinion (specialist in Prosthodontics).. Specifically, the dentist who also has a law degree destroyed my entire oral health in 10 years time, in which he impulsively extracted of all of my 2nd molars without x-rays and informed consent, which also resulted in significant bone loss to my lower jaw area; however, the dentist never acknowledged the bone loss. During the 10 years of treatment, I did not have an ability to chew my foods from 2003 until my Board-Certified Prosthodontist restored my oral health in June 2013. This dentist extracted a total of 9 teeth w/o x-rays and informed consent: #29, #13, #10, # 5, #17, #20, #30, #31, and #15. The dentist also deliberately w/h my first 3 treatments beginning 8-28-02, 9-18-02, 10-2-02, for litigation purposes and fraudulently posted these tx's to my former dentist's record,previously retired. The dentist also usd former dentist's pt inform sheet with my name on it and crossed/o date and egregiously changed my husband's first treatment with him to my former chart and noted recent hx diabetes. This dentist also added add tx's to my former dental chart and then deleted billing record. Although I testified to this, and sent emails requesting a document examiner, my requests were ignored. Thus, the dentist did not present my attorney with all of my treatments and he presented false interrogatories. When the dentist was deposed, Mr. Zinman only asked dentist if he treated me at my former dentist's office, which he falsely testified he had, but that he did not remember the treatment. No further questions were presented by my counsel. The dentist also performed multiple root canals that were faulty unbeknownst to me that caused serious dental infections and bacterial infections resulting in endocarditis and residual heart valve residuals; however, no x-rays were presented in support of the root canals. I had 39 documented return dental trips that I made to this dentist's office for faulty crowns cracking and falling out, but at no time was this ever discussed with him either. In addition, the dentist placed a dollop of glue on my one implant without connecting it and then placed an open margin bridge over it that resulted in add'l inflamm (pus infection), bone loss, and the implant was left in place but no longer functioning as an implant. This dentist also kept me in temporaries from 2-25-06 until 2009, 2010, and as a result all of my teeth had decay on them. As such, he placed crowns over decay and the crowns had over hanging margins, which resulted in add'l bacterial infections. It should also be noted that this dentist only presented 3 x-rays taken in 2003, 2005, but no x-rays taken after crowns placed. Also, this dentist also alleged all of his laboratory receipts were destroyed by sprinkler system and when Mr. Zinman asked him if he attempted to obtain dup's after being notified of my complaint he stated he had not. Although the burden shld have shifted to the dentist, Mr. Zinman bent over backwrds and agred to obtain records for last 2 years; but,, no recds rec'd. Mr. Zinman also assesed me with med induced xerostomia to lessen the damges, which I do not....just the opposite drool all of time and he dismissed 1/2 of my tx's finding 1-30-06 as the date he fell below standard of care despite the fact it was a false date inserted by the dentist. The def also chargd me more than $60 thous, but falsely testified it was $43,000.

Ed Zinman handled my dental malpractice case. His knowledge is excellent. His legal writing is excellent. He's not one for hand-holding or spending a lot of time comforting a client, but as for expertise and advocacy, I can't complain. Zinman is a dentist and an attorney. He's definitely the go-to-guy for dental malpractice.

Found Haasty at her initial firm she was with and she was awesome. She left that firm and I actually stuck with her and was happy with her attentiveness and compassion. My Family law case was a couple years total and a few months before I was to finally put the whole ordeal behind me, she literally disappeared. The only word I got from her new firm was that she was not available for my case and assigned me to another attorney I knew nothing about. A year and a half of hard work and trust tossed aside with not even an email from Haasty saying...well something at least. If it were just me involved that’s one thing but everything was and still is about my daughter and that’s the worst part. No explanation, we never had any slight hint of an argument, she had my total trust and vanished. Clearly she has come back into the google searches and good for her. But to anyone who might be thinking about retaining her, just keep it in the back of your mind to expect the unexpected from her.

Haasty is very professional and handled my case accordingly and gave me the best results. I would definitely recommend her for any legal help you need. Thank you!!

I have had the pleasure of using Haasty's legal services for a few of my cases so far and can't recommend her enough! She is extremely intelligent, very diligent and constantly maintains communication with me, unlike most other professional services I've used. I have been very happy with all of my case results and will continue to use her services when needed.

I was involved in a work accident and once the insurance company started to push back, I contacted the Walter Clark Legal Group. I regret not contacting them from the start. Everyone from their front office staff to my attorney has treated me with professionalism and respect. They’ve communicated clearly and been there through my frustrations and concerns. It’s been a long process and I’m grateful to have them on my side.

My husband and I were in a bad car accident with severe injuries. After much thought and interviews with a few attorneys we decided to hire Kevin Elder at Penny and Associates, Rocklin. He made the best first impression when he came to our home and spent all the time needed giving us advice and explaining the whole process. During Covid he kept in contact regularly by phone and emails. Any questions we had he or his secretary would answer promptly. We would highly recommend Kevin Elder. He is very knowledgeable and professional and a good listener, patient and kind. We are very happy with his performance in settling our case. Sent from my iPhone

She was very responsive and taught me a lot about the whole legal process. She is extremely knowledgeable and even answered my calls and messages on a Saturday and Sunday which was difficult with any other firm. I’d definitely recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal counsel.

I’ll start by saying I would give zero stars if it were an option. Amerio Law, Ashley Injury Lawyers, whatever they are calling themselves these days are the epitome of why attorneys are so disliked. They agreed to take my personal injury case on contingency 3½ years ago even though they were probably not qualified to handle what essentially was a medical malpractice case. My guess is they were hurting for revenue during the height of Covid. I am not even sure they had an attorney to work the case until last year. They puttered around and kept me in the dark for the most part and suddenly called me and said as a matter of previously overlooked housekeeping chores, my wife and I needed to sign electronic substitution of attorney forms and we trustingly did so. The very next day, I received another call telling me they were dropping the case for business reasons. I now know that having us sign the substitution of attorney forms under false pretense was so they would not have to go back and explain to The Court why they were dropping the case. Basically, they made it look like we fired them! To add insult to injury, they quickly filed a lien against any future settlement proceeds making it virtually impossible to find another attorney to accept the case. My advice is to stay as far away from this law firm as possible!

The very worst experience with this attorney and the firm. The paralegal or what ever Donna was would never allow me to speak to my Ashley at all when I had questions about my case. I then said if my calls were not returned I would be more than happy to come wait in the office so I could exercise my rights as a client of this firm and speak to Ashley. I then got a phone call stating they were withdrawing as my attorney and there would be an attorney lien on my claim. They made me do all the footwork and then they with draw and still want to be paid? WOW!!! If you’re ever in a crash or anything else… never call this firm. Read all the yelp and reviews on how horrible they are. Wish I would have. Just found out that the PL she had working my case is now suing her for wrongful termination.

28 Feb, 2024 by Bill klein

It had been about 20 years since I first had a trust and will produced. I wanted to find a local estate planning attorney, and a friend referred me to Lauren. I’m so happy for that referral because Lauren was the best choice I could have hoped for. Knowledgeable, thorough, detail-oriented, professional, and very pleasant to work with, Lauren is an excellent communicator and quite patient in explaining details. I also appreciated that she took the initiative to provide recommendations to issues I hadn’t considered. She produced a high-quality and well organized estate planning portfolio, including easy-to-follow instructions on how to manage my estate. Her fee was reasonable and in the end I feel I received a great value. I would highly recommend Lauren for anyone considering estate planning.

My wife and I were looking for a trust attorney and were referred to Lauren by good friends who had worked with her on their trust. We were very pleased with Lauren's thoroughness throughout the process and for making the whole topic understandable for a lay-person. She is very organized and communicates regularly and clearly. She was also very understanding when we changed our minds on various decisions, and revisited some items multiple times. Lauren also suggested that we consider estate planning for our children who are over 18. She worked with our kids to capture their wishes in wills, powers of attorney and health care directives. All in all, Lauren did an excellent job for our family and will be returning to her in the years ahead for updates to our trust. Thank you Lauren!

*Disappointing Experience with Roy Yang Law Office- Lack of Communication and Unprofessional Service* I'm extremely dissatisfied with Roy Yang's Law Office handling of my workers' compensation case. Despite hiring them 7 months ago, I've experienced chronic communication issues and unprofessional service. Key concerns: - *Ignored emails*: Multiple messages regarding my case have gone unanswered. - *Lack of preparation*: No one briefed me on what to expect for my recent QME (Qualified Medical Evaluation). - *Missed appointments*: A phone appointment was scheduled without notification, and I only discovered it by calling the firm. - *Unhelpful staff*: When I do reach someone, I'm made to feel like a burden or an inconvenience. Given my frustrating experience, I question the authenticity of positive reviews. I advise others to exercise caution when considering Roy Yang for legal representation.

I just want to say how grateful I am that this company helped me to prove my innocence and helped exonerate me of all blames from my last employer; especially with my attorney on my side Megan Lazar, she truly was an advocate for me in the hearing and stated everything perfectly in my honor and defense to the Judge and my former employer and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help with winning my case. If you truly feel that you were terminated from your job for reasons that doesn’t make any sense and they deny your unemployment financial benefits, I implore you to use this law firm to help you win your case because they will really defend you with everything they have to prove your innocence. Thank you so much Pershing Square Law Firm. Even though the rating for this company only goes up to 5 stars, I really give them a 1,000 star review rating. I honestly feel like I can breathe now and a huge weight has just been lifted off my chest.

Please heed the warning of others. My hearing was an embarrassing mess of incompetence. For one, it was clear that attorney (Charlie) had not reviewed my case, as he was caught off guard when the judge stated that we were contesting not one, but two rulings. This should have been obvious with a simple glance at my file. Charlie’s closing statements were short & comical, given the huge blunder at beginning of case. In all, they ended up giving me poor advice that resulted in the case being lost. You’ll literally have two calls with this firm: one to take your money, and one 20 minute brief the day before the hearing. The second call isn’t even scheduled. Mine happened after hours at 7:45 pm after I waited all day for a call. Please look elsewhere, or represent yourself. I’m convinced that the the majority of their positive reviews are paid for.

I have had the privilege of working with Octavio Cardona (Vito) at Golden & Cardona-Loya LLP for over eight years on various consumer rights cases, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Octavio is exceptionally communicative, ensuring I am well-informed and comfortable at every stage. His commitment to protecting my rights as a consumer has consistently been evident, with his expertise making a significant difference in every case. Octavio is a lawyer I truly trust. His ability to demystify complex legal jargon, making it easier to make informed decisions, is just one of the many reasons. His professionalism and thorough approach have always left me feeling confident and well-represented. The firm itself is fantastic, offering great support and resources that enhance their client service. I highly recommend Octavio and Golden & Cardona-Loya LLP to anyone needing assistance with consumer rights issues. Whether it’s for personal matters or referring family and friends, you can trust Octavio and his firm to provide top-notch legal support. I look forward to continuing to work with him for any future assistance.

Receptionist was rude and didn’t really offer any help outside of what you can find on google. Phone call took a total of 3 minutes if not less and it felt like I was taking her time. Cut me off a couple times while speaking.

Ms. Hadjian was a delight to work with. We were under an important time constraint, we were from out of state and Ms. Hadjian was very professional and solved a very difficult Guardianship problem for us. Anyone that works with Ms. Hadjian will be very pleased to have her handling your case.

The attorneys at Boyd Law did a fantastic job for me. I had an emergent case that required a response to be filed with the court within one business day. Staff at Boyd Law agreed to hear the facts of my case as I knew them to be, quoted me a reasonable fee for services (to which I agreed), and immediately addressed the necessary matters of my case. While my matter had significant material already available for the staff, Joshua Fabian did a masterful job arguing for me in person before a difficult judge. Joshua presented the facts clearly, addressed wrongs with the court, and preserved the integrity of the judge and opposing self-representing counsel in honorable discourse. He attained a very favorable decision from the court for me and represented me in a way that is honorable to me, himself, and the whole firm at Boyd Law. Joshua's quick thinking, patient persistence while in the presence of the court was impressive to watch. I believe his respect for the rule of law and others allows him to be aggressive in just the right areas to argue facts and not get sidelined by lesser matters. Consummate professional.

Boyd Law came through for us by assigning Joshua L. Fabian to our case. Joshua is a UCCJEA Virtuoso with a fantastic personality and the ability to get through to a difficult judge. We had a tri-state jurisdictional custody nightmare on our hands that involved original orders from in California from 2020, an open 2024 custody case in Father's state (home state), with Mother being another state entirely. When the California judge made what we felt was an erroneous emergency temporary order that caused substantial upheaval in the lives of our children, we reached out to multiple firms and attorneys who all wanted to put us off for weeks on top of charging us for a consultation fee. However, when I called Boyd Law, I reached Brandon (sp?) who patiently listened to our dilemma and put us through to the right team which included Matthew Caldwell, Joshua L. Fabian, and Ashley Hoffman, although Joshua was our Go-To A-Team guy. Not only did we not get charged a consultation fee, Joshua hit this case with great enthusiasm, ultimately coming through for us in exceptional fashion. His knowledge of UCCJEA is second to none. His pleasant and positive disposition immediately put us at ease. His commitment to meeting tight timelines was stellar. More importantly, his courtroom presentation was EPIC! If you have a case involving UCCJEA issues, Joshua is your man! He is not going to lie to you, he is not going to deceive you, he is not going to fill your head with nonsense. You'll get the truth and you'll get a lawyer who actually cares about your case. We know we were not his only case, but he sure made it feel like we were. I still think that he has some kind of Vibranium armor hiding under that suit or something, because he totally earned Super Hero Status. Money well spent.

After an unfortunate incident which caused me to require legal representation, I had the good fortune of having Scott Herndon recommended to me by a mutual friend. He was forthright, reliable and diligent in all of his communications with me, and proved to be a very effective advocate on my behalf. We reached a resolution that I am very pleased with, and Scott’s advice and counsel were instrumental in making that happen. As well as being a complete professional, Scott is also a nice guy who is sensitive to his clients’ needs, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking legal counsel.

Amazing advice from Scott! Helped to understand my situation, all of my options, and even details that I didn't understand myself. Can't recommend him enough.

22 Jan, 2024 by Juan isunza

Scott represented me in an auto accident where I was injured and achieved a favorable outcome on my behalf, more than I was expecting. He was very professional and kept me in the loop on my case. He always responded promptly to my questions or concerns. I am grateful he handled my case and I was very pleased throughout. He also represented me in another matter previously and I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for a great attorney.

What a Car Accident Lawyer Can Do for You

A car accident lawyer specializes in representing individuals who have been injured in motor vehicle accidents. These lawyers help victims secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses resulting from a car crash. They also negotiate with insurance companies, investigate the cause of the accident, and, if necessary, represent clients in court to ensure they receive fair compensation.

If you've been injured in a car accident - whether as a driver, passenger, cyclist, or pedestrian - a car accident lawyer can help protect your rights, navigate the insurance claims process, and ensure you receive the compensation you're entitled to.

When Should I Hire a Car Accident Lawyer?

Consider hiring a car accident lawyer in several situations, especially when the accident results in injuries, property damage, or disputes with the insurance company. Key situations include:

Serious injuries: If you’ve suffered significant injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or traumatic brain injuries, a lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment, and pain and suffering.
Disputes with the insurance company: If your insurance claim has been denied or the insurance company offers an unreasonably low settlement, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get fair compensation.
Liability disputes: If the other driver’s insurance company is disputing fault or claiming you were partially at fault, a lawyer can gather evidence to prove the other party’s negligence.
Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed in a car accident, a lawyer can help the family pursue a wrongful death claim to recover compensation for funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and other damages.
Uninsured or underinsured driver: If the at-fault driver lacks sufficient insurance coverage, a lawyer can help you explore other compensation options, such as filing a claim with your own insurance company.
Complex cases: Accidents involving multiple vehicles, commercial trucks, or complicated circumstances require legal expertise to manage complexities and hold all responsible parties accountable.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help ensure that your rights are protected and that you receive the full compensation you deserve.

What Does a Car Accident Lawyer Do?

A car accident lawyer provides various legal services to help injured individuals pursue compensation for their injuries and losses. Their responsibilities often include:

Investigating the accident: Gathering evidence like police reports, witness statements, photos, and video footage to determine how the accident occurred and who was at fault.
Filing insurance claims: Assisting clients in filing claims with their insurance company and the at-fault driver’s insurer to ensure all necessary documentation is submitted correctly.
Negotiating settlements: Working with insurance adjusters to secure fair compensation for medical bills, property damage, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Calculating damages: Determining the full extent of your damages, including current and future medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, lost income, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering.
Handling medical bills: Coordinating with healthcare providers to ensure your medical bills are paid and helping you avoid financial hardship during the claims process.
Filing lawsuits: If the insurance company refuses a fair settlement, the lawyer can file a lawsuit and represent you in court.
Representing you in court: Presenting your case before a judge and jury, providing evidence and witness testimony to prove negligence and your right to compensation.

How Are Car Accident Lawyers Paid?

Most car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle your case. The key aspects include:

Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. You won't pay upfront fees; the lawyer's payment comes from the compensation they recover for you.
No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t secure compensation for you, you generally don't owe any legal fees.
Case expenses: You may be responsible for certain costs related to your case, such as filing fees or expert witness fees. These are usually deducted from the settlement after the lawyer's fee is paid.

Discuss the fee structure during your initial consultation to understand how much you'll owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a car accident lawyer is generally based on the contingency fee arrangement. General estimates include:

Contingency fee percentage: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or award. For example, if you receive a $100,000 settlement and the lawyer's fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $33,000, and you'd keep the remaining $67,000.
Case expenses: Additional costs such as court filing fees, expert witness costs, and administrative fees can range from $1,000 to $10,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you get a clear explanation of fees and expenses during your consultation.

How to Check the Credibility of a Car Accident Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
Review their experience: Look for specialization in personal injury and car accident cases.
Read client reviews: Consult platforms like Avvo or Martindale-Hubbell for testimonials and ratings.
Ask for references: Request contact information of previous clients willing to discuss their experience.
Check professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) indicates a commitment to the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:

Police report: A copy of the accident report filed by the police.
Medical records: Documentation of your injuries, treatments, and medical expenses.
Photos and videos: Any visual evidence from the accident scene and of your injuries.
Insurance information: Copies of your insurance policy and any correspondence with insurance companies.
Witness information: Contact details and statements from any witnesses.
List of questions: Prepared questions about your case and the legal process.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
