If you are looking for an attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Tony Stuart. I cannot say enough good things about Tony Stuart and his work and knowledge of the law. I hired Mr. Stuart a few years ago to take on a large insurance company that I wanted to sue for fraud, misrepresention, et cetera. Tony took on my case and I was so impressed with his work, his diligence, and the way he worked with me and explained things to me. He found out amazing things in his investigations and worked hard for me. We settled out of court and Tony got me $1.7 million!
If you want a good, competent, no-nonsense, no BS attorney, I suggest you call Mr Stuart, and I say this not only as his client, but as a court reporter. I have been a deposition/court reporter in this town for over 20 years and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Stuart is one of the better attorneys I have seen get the job done.
If I ever need an attorney again, I would most definitely call him again.

We were referred to Tony, who's in LA, by an attorney that I personally knew that's local. We were extremely pleased. He worked extremely hard on our case, kept us informed along the way, worked well with witnesses, and was compassionate about my health issues. He connects well with a jury. He also does a very good job of explaining - you feel like you know what is going on every step of the way.

In the six year battle with my health insurance company over unpaid claims, I had no better ally than Tony Stuart. Through hours and hours of depositions, fruitless mediations all the way through to the final settlement negotiation, Tony stayed positive and encouraging, even when I wanted to give up. Without his hard work, attention to detail, and years of experience fighting these same cases, we would not have been able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties. I can't thank him enough for being in my corner in a fight that was almost nearly as tough as beating cancer.

Oliver and Sherwin did an amazing job with my case! I was hit by a truck while on my bicycle, I was even in a bike lane in Santa Monica. After the driver admitted guilt on the spot, he then turned around to his insurance company after and denied everything! I would have gotten $0 if it wasn't for these guys working around the clock for me. Citywide Law Group got me the max settlement from his insurance company and on top of that they even compensated me for my bike! Oliver and Sherwin were always accessible to answer my call/emails, very professional, and got the job done. I highly recommend this law firm if you are in need of anything dealing with personal injury!

I called Mr. Naimi after being very highly recommended after I was involved in a car accident. He was extremely helpful during the entire process all the way from helping me get my car repaired through getting the medical attention that was required. He was very involved and cared more about me as a person rather than a client which made a world of a difference. His office was always very responsive to all of my needs and also helped guide me through something that I had never been through before. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of a PI lawyer.

I have worked with Joseph Kerendian for years. He has bailed me out of some tight spots. He is always there when I have a question and he always has a solution. In court he is one to not let me sell myself to the other side just to end the case. He uses his experience, expertise and knowledge to make very wise decisions for me. To be honest I am a wreck it court no matter how prepared I am and Joseph is a pleasure to be with and very protective. He takes time to thoroughly read documents and understand them so he can either correct them or advise me how to take action. Thank you team Kerendian for being there for me!

I just want to give a shout-out to Joseph and Ramesh for their kind service and professionalism, without losing the "human element" of their job! I've used Joseph's services for two different cases that I've been faced to endure, and both times I experienced nothing but the most positive results! The price was very reasonable for all services provided and communication was timely and prompt! Please consider this Office for your needs, you won't be disappointed! I will definitely not only recommend his service, but will use it in the future, if needed!

David Reinard has been a life saver!
I hired a lawyer before David who didnt know what he was doing he never reponded to my emails or phone calls so I fired him!
David Reinard saved me! He got more done on my case in a day then the other "lawyer"
David responds quickly to every email and phone call and lets you know whats going on every step of your case! He explains everything in "normal talk" not "lawyer talk"
Thankyou David !!!!

Matt Taylor and his associate Aaron Miller of Vaziri Law Group have been heaven sent as a referral from another couple of amazing lawyers, Joseph Shirazi and Simon, another incredible lawyer from the same office. They told me that Matt Taylor was THE Personal Injury Lawyer that they would use and recommend. Matt Taylor is brilliant in personal injury law and as an added bonus, specializes in property liability among so many other things. We were and are in such good hand. It is unbelievable and we are so lucky and so blessed to be able to have them and this firm to represent us. They prevented big lawyers from throwing us under to bus for a serious injury resulting in permanent damage to me. Law suits take a while, understand this. But have faith, you could NOT be better represented!! Just gather all the evidence and photos that you can and they will SO protect you from the wolves outside your door. Thank you forever. God bless. We would have been so messed up without you!!!

The offices of Siamak Vaziri are more than professional! They are effective and knowledgeable and very clear on the actions and outcomes that you would hope for you
My hats off to Mr. Vaziri, for creating and developing organization that make sure their clients be treated with respect. Not another opportunity to enhance their coffers.
Other law often uncomfortable .they were doing you a favor. Not so at Vaziri
I was completely surprised when Mr. Vaziri called to tell me the outcome of my case. It was much more than I expected! I've never experienced that before. He, was celebrating with me!.Usually law firms are happy to see you leave.
In particular, I want to praised Ruth Marin! I don't think I couldn't have survived with her!! You'll love her also. Although, im not certain or her position. I'm hoping she is the closest thing to being a case manager. I'm thinking, she should be a partner!
Mr. Vaziri and Ruth Marin, are extraordinary representatives legal firms. firms should. Sad others don't function in that manner!
P.S. this might seem excessively saccharine, but this is no BS job! And if I need legal assistance I'll call them again,
call them again!
Best

I couldn't be happier with my experience. I was referred to him after being unhappy with the attorney I had originally handling my case. So I transferred over to this firm and I am so grateful I did. Got twice as much money from the defendant as the original attorney was trying to convince me to settle for! These guys know what they are doing and they are good honest people.

I hired Arellanez Legal to represent me after I was hit by a tractor-trailer coming home from Las Vegas to San Bernardino. I contacted multiple law firms but eventually chose Arellanez Legal and I'm very happy that I did. Michael and his staff are very friendly and took very good care of my case. Michael and his staff made sure that I finished treatment and kept me updated regarding the offers from the insurance company. Michael mediated the case and got me a great settlement. Without his help I wouldn't have been able to pay for my medical bills and still have money left over. He really cares about his clients and his staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the legal process. I would highly recommend hiring Michael at Arellanez Legal.

I was involved in a car accident in Modesto, California. It was a very scary accident for me because I was seven months pregnant at the time and was taken by ambulance to the local hospital. I contacted Arellanez Legal a few days after the accident because the law firm was recommended to me by a friend. My case was handled by Michael Arellanez who is very professional and makes you feel like family. The insurance company claimed their driver was not at fault. This greatly upset me because I was rear ended at a stop light. I could not believe an insurance company would claim I was not injured. Michael explained that the case would need to be mediated. I had never been involved in a mediation and I was unsure what to expect. Michael was very professional and helped me resolve my case at mediation. I was very happy with the results and would highly recommend Arellanez Legal. Michael does a good job at explaining how cases are resolved.

A few years ago, I suffered a broken arm from a slip and fall accident. At first, I tried to work with the insurance company myself to get my medical bills covered. Needless to say insurance companies did not want to compensate me for the medical bills. When the insurance company started downplaying my injury I reached out to multiple large firms in the LA area. I could hardly get one to return my call. I was ultimately referred to Mr. Arellanez by a personal friend, and I am so happy and thankful that I made that decision. I received the best service from him and his firm. They worked efficiently, always returned my phone call, and I was very please with the results they got me. Fast forward to 2020, when I unexpectedly ended up in the middle of a contract/real estate civil action, I cannot stress to you how extremely stressful, and emotional this situation was, however, I reached out to Mr. Arellanez once again, and asked if he could help me. Mr. Arellanez handled everything in regards to my second case like a true professional. I was very happy with the result and very relieved that it concluded in a relatively short amount of time. I highly recommend this attorney and firm to anyone.

I felt compelled to write this review! I want anyone in the state of California looking for an injury lawyer to be so BLESSED to have this firm stand behind them! I urge you to stop looking. You're going to waste your time anywhere else. Sure, everybody says that in reviews when they are happy with a company. I'm not just happy. I feel like I had my own family fighting for me and they wanted my suffering to stop. Most firms and lawyers are a bunch of hot air and lots of ego!! Let's face it. But when you have a lawyer go above and beyond to make you feel cared about and like you are family, then you want only the same for others. Mr. Sherwin Arzani was more than my lawyer, he was on my side and wasn't settling no matter what. I never felt rushed and I could tell he genuinely cared about me from his hard work, phone calls and keeping me completely informed of everything going on.
I was in a very severe accident. A man on his phone, driving towards a backed up off ramp, did not stop and was going 60+ mph blindly hit me from behind without breaks!! I was at a complete standstill. He did not care to help me and took off from the scene. I tried having friends and family talk to the insurance company and saw extremely quickly that I needed an attorney. They wouldn't give me information like what my benefits were. So I looked up Citywide Law and that was the start of my road to recovery.
From the day I called, I felt nothing but compassion and understanding from the entire office. I had to wait 2 days to call them as the whiplash locked my jaw shut!! They took the frustration and headache of dealing with the insurance company off my hands that day, right then and there. I knew without a shadow of a doubt they could be trusted to take this on for me. Their kindness, as well as, professionalism are OUTSTANDING!!
I had to immediately begin seeing doctors. They made all my appointments. I was thoroughly taken care of by their professionals. As I was not getting better with the treatments, I was sent out for further testing. We found I have lifelong permanent injuries. Mr. Arzani called me to discuss what to do and he was clear, thorough, and professional. From the news of my injuries I was very saddened that I will have this for the rest of my life. We were on the phone and he listened to me express my pain. Not just physical pain but the suffering that has come from this man stealing my life from me.....I can handle pain. I can handle suffering, but when you can't play with your kids anymore like you could before you feel a huge sense of loss and he was very supportive. Yes!!!! I said Mr. Arzani was supportive and there for me like a good friend would be.
I urge and implore you to give yourself the best odds at winning your settlement with this firm. I know you will not be unhappy with the results.....
Mr. Arzani fought and won my maximum benefits. If it wasn't for his persistence, I don't think my case would have settled in a year for what I deserved.
THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE STAFF OF CITYWIDE LAW GROUP!
MAY YOU HAVE CONTINUAL BLESSINGS FOR YOU, YOUR FAMILIES, AND ALL WHO ARE AROUND YOU.

taking a moment to say what an awesome attorney Erik is although it's been a couple years since he did work for me. He's on my mind as I just referred a colleague to him for a personal injury matter. I have referred more people to him than I can count, in a variety of areas, but particularly personal injury and landlord tenant. the first thing I will say is that he genuinely seemed to care about my situation (a nightmare of a landlord tenant situation - me the tenant without much power). I felt like he wanted to get my problem solved and compensate me for my economic loss and stress along the way and that's exactly what he did. He completely understood my aversion to litigation, despite the fact that I am also a lawyer ha! He crafted a very persuasive demand letter and got me 100% of what I asked for. LL literally caved on every single thing. Most importantly, they immediately fixed the problem in my house which had been a nightmare, I won't disturb you with the details. All of this in a short period of time, no court hassle. Erik was kind, listened, and actually returned my phone calls. You will not find a better attorney!

I was in a traumatizing and debilitating traffic collision. I found Nicole and company through a friend of a friend. I had multiple injuries that were preventing me from living my life and maintaining my responsibilities. My injuries were more than intimidating, and my situation was extremely overwhelming and confusing. Nicole gave me peace of mind through effective communication and always making herself available when I would freak out about my situation. Her assertive and reassuring demeanor made me feel confident that everything was going to work out. I don't know how I would have survived this without Nicole and her associates. They made the entire process feel almost effortless, and by "process," I mean three years of medical appointments, physical therapy, surgery, more therapy, etc. Despite having to endure all of that, I had conviction that everything would be okay, even when I was on bed rest and could barely walk. I can't adequately express how positive my experience has been with Nicole and her associates.
We're almost done with the entire process, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Nicole delivered! My injuries were treated by amazing physicians, and I'm anticipating a full recovery! All of my medical bills are paid, and I have more than enough to compensate for my expenses incurred because of the traffic collision. The best part of it all is Nicole didn't make me feel like a client or paycheck. She expressed genuine concern every step of the way and explained every possible avenue and their respective possible outcomes. She made me feel like a priority, and didn't push me to do anything. I am more than impressed with the exceptional quality of care I received through the entire process.
I hope I never have to experience a personal injury like this ever again, but I know exactly who I'm going to call if I do.

I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Nicole Lari-Joni and her partner Torsten Bassell. When faced with personal tragedy and an overwhelming loss it is difficult to have the energy and know-how to navigate through legal action as well. My case had the additional challenge of working with estranged family members and their counsel. I wanted to make sure my voice was heard and my interests were upheld. Nicole put me at ease immediately. She is very personable and trustworthy and I knew she had my best interests at heart. Ms. Lari-Joni and Mr. Bassell provided the interface and worked well with the other counsel. They handled my case with professionalism and control as well as compassion. Ms. Lari-Joni has proven successes in these types of cases and added to that success by achieving the most optimal outcome for my case as well.

I was in an accident a few years back and got badly injured. Unfortunately, I made the silly decision of handling my claim with the insurance company myself at first. After the insurance company strung me along for months though, I decided to hire a lawyer and I asked a friend if he knew anybody good. He recommended Torsten and Nicole, who had helped my friend out in the past.
When I called Torsten and Nicole, I wasn't sure what I'd be getting into. I'd never had a lawyer before, but they talked to me about my case on the phone and then we met in person and I felt at ease. They never pushed me to do anything and were happy to meet with me to discuss my case whether I hired them or not. Of course, I ended up retaining them, and I couldn't be happier.
Nicole and Torsten worked so hard for me on my case and ended up filing a lawsuit and battling with the insurance company for about a year in court. Along the way, the insurance company kept tossing BS offers at us and I was getting really frustrated with the entire process. It seemed that the insurance company would never pay me what I deserved.
But Torsten and Nicole kept assuring me that the insurance company would come up with more money and that this was just the game they always played with people's lives. It turns out, they were right. After pushing and pushing through the lawsuit, the insurance company finally gave in and offered me a great settlement a few weeks before trial just as Torsten and Nicole predicted.
Obviously, I'm happy that I got the money I deserved. But I was even happier with who got me the money. Torsten and Nicole were not just my lawyers. They were my friends. They took the time to listen to me and understand my problems and they stood up for me until the end. There were ups and downs for me emotionally throughout the process, and if it weren't for them, I'd probably have broken down completely and taken one of the insurance company's BS offers. In the end, I know I got what I deserved because of Nicole and Torsten. They are wonderful people and made me feel confident that I had great attorneys in my corner.

Mr. Dickerman represented me in a dispute against a large automobile insurance company. Throughout the lengthy process, which also brought about the possibility of several lawsuits, he handled the case successfully, treated me fairly, with great knowledge and understanding and showed me compassion when necessary at such a stressful time. He
attended my meetings with the opposing lawyers and without fail kept me well-informed of any changes or happenings in the status of the case.
Without hesitation I would recommend his services to anybody in need.

In 2004, Mr. William Dickerman represented me in my effort to obtain a permanent SRO against a predatory, abusive and physically threatening resident manager who had been stalking and taunting me for more than three years. On my own, I had not been able to get any relief whatsoever from my landlord, housing authorities or law enforcement, despite the severity and persistence of the problem.
In an unusually grueling hearing that went on for more than six hours, Mr. Dickerman successfully proved that I had been subject to extreme and intolerable abuse and was in imminent danger, despite the defense attorney's considerable efforts to prove otherwise.
I am deeply grateful for Mr. Dickerman's pre- and post-hearing counseling, compassion and support, his outstanding courtroom representation and his overall effort to obtain justice on my behalf.
Without his intervention, I have no doubt that I would not be alive to make this recommendation to you.

Ms. Sed represented me in a real estate case. Despite having an option to renew a lease before expiration at market rate, the landlord was trying to renew the contract at a much higher rate. She sued the LL on my behalf. Court ruled in our favor and forced to pay for my legal fees too.

I fell in a gas station and hurt my shoulder and elbow. I called a few attorneys and they said that the case was too difficult to win. A friend told me to call Steinberg Injury Lawyers because they did a good job for her after a car accident. So I called and they said they could help! And they did. Peter Steinberg settled my case quickly and I am happy with the settlement. He got all of my medical bills paid and I was reimbursed for my time off of work after the accident. I will (and do) recommend the firm to any of my friends who need an 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.
Top Questions to Ask a Car Accident Lawyer
Before hiring a car accident lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with car accident cases?
Confirm the lawyer has handled cases similar to yours, especially involving serious injuries or complex liability issues. -
How do you charge for your services?

Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?

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.
