Ryan Friedman is an amazing attorney. He does his due diligence on all matters presented in front of him. He is a true subject matter expert who finds solutions and never excuses. He was upfront with me and attentive to my matter. I was new to Sacramento County after relocating from Los Angeles county. I volunteered for a temporary restraining order in SolCal because I wanted to work on a dead marriage. My ex wife filed multiple falsified law enforcement that landed me a case in the Sacramnto District Attorneys Office. I am truly thankful to Mr. Friedman because he was able to get the District Attorneys office to drop the case while I was able to plead innocent. Mr. Friedman is an honest attorney with an honest practice. He and all the associates at Friedman law are amazing people. I will recommend Mr. Friedman to my network and I would recommend his services if you have a criminal issue. Thank you again Mr. Friedman fir all your help!

I would definitely recommend Friedman Law Firm as Ryan and his team were able to expedite the whole process with my situation as it is now behind me. I can say with confidence that Attorney Ryan Friedman will carefully evaluate your case and go above and beyond for his clients. I am truly grateful for his expert knowledge and assistance. He helped me with terminating probation early and expunging my record all at once. Thank you so much Ryan! If I ever need someone for legal representation, I wouldn't hesitate to contact you again.

I had a telephone consultation scheduled at 5:30 a couple days ago. Waited for 20 minutes, no call. I called the number I originally called and the receptionist said she would send a message to the lawyers. So I waited some more. I still received no call that day. That was 2 days ago. I never heard back from them.

I was referred to Jeff Weninger by a chiropractor to help me resolve my injury case. My accident occurred in April 2021. The communication is close to non existent, it takes days to get a response via email and every time I call to check the status of my case Jeff is in a meeting. I was originally told my case would easily be resolved in 6 months it’s now going on 10 months and this case is still has not been settled. Jeff the lawyer I’m working with shows no sign of proactive involvement or a sense of urgency to resolve my case. Please be warned if you are seeking legal assistance with an accident case and looking to move on with your life, look elsewhere because Jeff Weninger has a lack of urgency, horrible communication, and he will take FOREVER to resolve your case. Today I had to find out my car has been deemed a total loss by going to my dealership. Jeff was not aware nor have I been compensated for anything this situation is a TOTAL NIGHTMARE.

Jeff was an Excellent Attorney. During the car accident he answered all of my questions promptly, explained things to me where I could understand them. During Litigation was always looking after my best interest.
His paralegal Korene kept me informed. She answered & returnedcalls promptly.
Both Jeff & Korene VERY PROFESSIONAL, COURTEOUS & KNOWLEDGEABLE.
I would rate Jeff & Korene a 10 out of 10.
So if your looking for a GREAT ATTORNEY its JEFF WENINGER.

I recommend Jeff to anyone wanting clear directions. I had no clue what to do or where to start. I had no idea what was going to happen. Jeff lead us through all the legal stuff that was foreign to us. He was patient, thank goodness. His staff took care of all the research, paper work, etc. The only hard part was the travel time to Sacramento. I had a hard time riding in a car after my accident. I was rear ended. Any little sudden movement was upsetting. But we persevered. Thank goodness we had Jeff to handle everything. He is very kind. Thank you Jeff.

Never have we experienced a law group, and the individuals who work there, so interested in putting you first and making you feel like a caring family. Their communication throughout the process was excellent, phone calls, personal meetings, text messages and e-mails keeping us "in the loop''. The end result for us was truly amazing, and we felt we made lifelong friends. We highly recommend them.

*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.

Our case was a travesty. Mr. Brelsford told us we were at third base with regards to settling. Then he did a 180, after we had met with all the attorneys involved. He told us we could not win, that no one would care there was an assault by a healthcare worker, that we had gone to too many physicians trying to get help for an undiagnosed spinal cord injury resulting in a permanent disability. He said we had to settle for what was offered by one physician. The settlement didn’t even cover the three years lost income. He claimed to have thousands of dollars invested in our case, but settled for a fraction of what he said would be offered.

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?
Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges. -
How long will the process take?
Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement. -
What kind of compensation can I expect?
Ask about the types of damages you may be entitled to, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
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.
