I hired Brian Watkins to represent my son in a felony matter. This was one of the worst times of my life and Brian helped us get through the ordeal. He was kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. My son's future was in his hands and there is no one that I would trust more.

Brett Peterson represented me when I was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. When we first met, I was impressed by his knowledge and experience with cases of my type, and even more impressed by the fact that he clearly listened to and understood my concerns and what I desired in terms of outcome. Throughout the course of his representation, Brett clearly communicated where things stood, and what the options were. My instinct on meeting him was that he was an honest and professional attorney that I could trust. That has certainly been the case, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking representation for a personal injury case.

I never needed a lawyer until I was rear ended and it was so clear cut who was at fault I thought I was able to handle it myself but after about a year I decided it was too much stress work and hassle so I shopped around and I was looking for the lowest price attorney which I think was Brett and I'm glad I found him so down to earth humble and a great office environment because it's just basically him and the secretary you will deal with which is very comforting well he handled everything made all the Timely calls and appointments even offering us rides when we needed it. He's such a nice guy but knows the law even the other side likes him. Lots of experience I would use him again and recommend him highly. He's the type of lawyer that you would want to be friends with afterwards. We ended up settling in mediation so I didn't get a chance to see him go to trial which would be a good idea to do if you can before you hire him. Has a very nice office location that's very reassuring and in a nice location. Be sure to go to Pho Xpress right around the corner for a good meal at a reasonable price. So if you ever need a lawyer don't handle it yourself it's a waste of time and one more thing about Brett is you get the feeling he is not a crooked lawyer which is a plus when you are in the right! And the top it all off and I'm not implying it may happen to you but maybe because I was such a good client and we did a lot of the paperwork to a degree he even gave me a percentage of his settlement probably because of the pain and suffering I had to go through and how tight the other side was which was Allstate Insurance. Another reason I was blessed to find him by happenstance was because I was looking for a lawyer who was near me and he was also he always return phone calls right away and emails and he communicated very thoroughly and patiently from the beginning to the end not like some lawyers who are so friendly in the beginning to get you to sign with them but then afterwards they are more colder but not Brett he was very professional and kind to the end. San Diego is blessed to have him living here helping us get a fair trial, Justice and compensation for our pain and suffering. And if I was to share some advice I would say don't use your own credit cards on different doctors like I did searching all over for a cure because the other side will not settle soon enough and you have so many fees and interest that my credit is ruined. I I would recommend just send one group of doctors and just have one bill and that based on contingency of a settlement that would have resulted in so much less stress and problems in my life. There is a really nice place in Hillcrest call fix body group and they handle everything there I went there and should have stayed there to my healing was complete which it never was but then again I had to do a bunch of injections and Kaiser really did me right but they couldn't feel the pain short of major surgery to replace my neck bones with screws and pieces of metal. But now I heard they have new treatment where they will take a cadavers bone and if it's a match can fix your neck which I may still do in the future. Anyways don't drink and drive or get distracted by the radio your cell phone or any other sightseeing please just look ahead all the time and do not tailgate and be prepared for for a car to stop at anytime even on the freeway in the middle of the day in perfect weather. There's no need to speed or tailgate if you do you risk much pain and suffering for yourself or others and in the end it only saves you a few minutes better to be safe than sorry and an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. You will get there when you get there life is too short to have to go through it with pain for the rest of your life!

I have been working the phone the past few days in a attempt to get legal advise and hire a lawyer. The last several offices I called either did not answer their calls or had a receptionist take a message only to never hear from them again. The one or two who did answer my call either had no interest or did not practice in the area I required. Neither offered any advise or a referral. Then I got lucky and gave Brett Peterson a call. Brett did not practice in the area I needed however he spent the last 15 minutes, giving me referrals and advice on how to proceed forward. I appreciate and value Bretts honesty and advise. I will absolutely keep him in mind should I have a need in the future!
Thank you Brett!

Attorney Stormoen is one of the smartest attorneys I know. I have watched him spot issues and solve major problems instantaneously. It's amazing and the one thing you want when it comes to dealing with legal transactions. The other thing about Attorney Stormoen is he is literally mesmerizing at trial. He is so articulate when he explains the law yet so passionate when he draws out the facts to bring some emotion into the case for the jury. I have watched the jury glued to his openings, closings, direct and cross exams at trial. They are paying attention to his every word and because of that, he is very very successful litigator. You cannot go wrong with Attorney Stormoen!

We hired Ron Stormoen to help in a lawsuit in which my previous employers of 30 years were essentially trying to seize our retirement by reneging on the ownership they promised us early in the relationship. It was extremely important to us to receive justice and this money we had earned over our careers. Ron had faith in us and took our case. He smartly and successfully litigated our case and the jury found 12-0 verdicts in our favor on almost all questions. We won both the breach of contract cause of action as well as the intentional misrepresentation fraud case. I wish this had never turned into a lawsuit, but in the end I was extremely satisfied with the results. In addition, all throughout the case, Ron showed integrity and a commitment to the truth – he never was deceitful and played by the rules. While it is extremely satisfying to win, it is even better to do so without compromising ones’ ethics. I would hire Ron again (although I hope I never have to.) Good luck in your pursuit for justice!

I contacted the Law Office of Ron Stormoen and was very glad that I did! I dealt with Ron and his associate, Travis Ensign, and I found them to be some of the most trustworthy and genuine individuals I have ever met. My case was in great hands with this firm. My attorneys were detail oriented and willing to do everything in their power to ensure positive results. It is rare that attorneys possesses such great legal skill, as well as such wonderful personal characteristics. I felt completely at ease with my legal representation, and couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome of my case. I would recommend this law office to anyone that needs legal representation.

Ryan, actually helped my wife and i with a car accident. It was fairly basic case, but where can you go to an Atty and get honest, fast, reliable help? Only at the Mccabe law firm. If you want an atty that knows what he is talking about, an atty that is upfront and is not mainly interested in how much he will be make right off the bat than call Ryan. Most atty wont even answer your calls unless you have given them money and than more money before you even know if you have a chance or not.

My urgent care visit led to a permanent injury due to a medical malpractice. I started seeking for an attorney, but none of the ones I talked to were courageous enough to take the case. Then I found Deon Goldschmidt from Yelp. He explained very clearly the possible outcomes of the case and the settlement process in person and immediately gave me hope that something could be done about it. In the end, Deon got me a great settlement.
He sincerely cares about his clients. He is very knowledgeable, approachable and responsive and I truly recommend his services.

Laura took over my injury case after my previous attorney was unable to continue. She hit the ground running and didn't skip a beat. Staying on top of the other driver's insurance company and pushing my case along. Laura consulted with me when needed and had my best interest when advocating for me. Always telling it straight, the good and the bad. In the end a settlement was reached which was more than I was hoping for. Now that may not always be the case, but having Laura made me feel like it was always a possibility. I highly recommend Mrs. Lindsey if you value honest forthright communication like I do. She listens and makes you feel like her best client!

Laura Lindsey went way beyond the call of duty and exceeded my expectations. I’ve been in the insurance industry for over 20 years and thought that I could handle the case on my own until the at fault carrier made me a very low offer on a serious auto accident. I was referred to and retained the Walton Law firm which was the best decision I could have made. Laura handled my case professionally and aggressively and kept me very informed along the way. My case settled for much more than I had anticipated and I’m very grateful for Laura’s dedication as well as the assistance that I received from the rest of the team at the Walton Law firm. I would strongly recommend Laura Lindsey. Thank you Laura for everything!!

I was recommended to Laura Lindsey and the Walton Law firm by a relative after I suffered injuries from an accident. From the start, I could tell I was in good hands. Laura is incredibly hard working and detail-oriented. Personal injury cases are often complex so you need someone who minds the details. She sat down with me and completely dissected my case from start to finish and laid out several scenarios for how the case would transpire. Over the following weeks, she kept me continually up to date and helped me through the complexities of my treatment and insurance issues. She was also very honest - when it became apparent that the case required an attorney with a different specialty than Walton Law she recommended a different lawyer whom I am now with and happy with. If she hadn't gone to the trouble of researching and finding an attorney with the required specialty I required, I would be out of luck. I highly doubt I would have received the same care from another attorney after they realized a lawyer with a different specialty was needed. Laura is very friendly, dedicated, and a dream to work with, I give her my highest recommendation!

I had the pleasure of having Paul represent me after I was involved in an auto collision. He was thorough, interested, diligent and did not waste my time. His knowledge of the area, and his sensitivity to my family's needs were remarkable. The times I felt so overwhelmed, Paul stayed focused with his calm demeanor and got me through it. I received the maximum settlement available thanks to his diligence and patience in the process.

After being a passenger in a rollover I had many difficulties with all the paperwork from the insurance agencies and constant phone calls. I decided to call Karin through a recommendation. Her team did all the mundane details of the medical bills. I am so grateful I was able to find someone like Karin who looked out for me in this case. She has integrity and takes extra time to figure out details with you.

Karin helped me get all my medical put on lien, worked with me to make sure I got my car repaired, and helped make everything as easy as possible. She worked to get me an excellent settlement. I was very happy with her service and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of an accident attorney.

I give Karin Wick the highest regard, professionally and personally and goes out of her way to accommodate you.
My case was really messed up before I was referred to K. Wick. I had years of neck pain, an undiagnosed neck fracture which resulted in cervical fusion. She took on a difficult medical case for me and settled in an impressive manner, very diligent in her work.
Karin Wick really listens to your problems; I know I can be very repetitive and would exasperate the best of them! But she showed no signs of being impatient, unlike other attorneys I know.
I would recommend her 100%. She is an excellent attorney and a blessing to me at a difficult time in my life.

I was involved in a car accident on Friday the 13th. I was the typical case of a person who ignored the pain and wanted to move on. I made the mistake (now a blessing) of telling my brother what happened. He immediately demanded that I call his Attorney, Christine McCoy. He wouldn't let me say no. So I reluctantly called Christine and two days later met at a Starbucks. She was very understanding of my wish to not be a burden on the other party, and that I only wanted to do what was best for me. Christine was extremely knowledgeable of all the circumstances involved, and assured me that everything will be taken care of. She had told me that she would get my case settled within 6 to 8 months and that life would return to normal. To make a long story short, my case was solved in 8 months, and life is back to where it was before I was involved in an accident. Christine provided me with the utmost professional and sincere help anyone could ask for. She let me know that taking care of her clients is her only goal and purpose, and it was evident in the way she handled my case. As of now, Christine has helped my brother, myself, and now my Mom. I would not go to anyone else for legal care.

Christine advised me on a dispute with the HOA President regarding water damage at my condo.
She provided new perspectives, actions to take, guidance on communication, and the confidence to tackle a difficult and stubborn HOA President.
Christine is a pleasure to work with. She's very friendly, smart, driven, responsive, affordable and client-oriented.
She appropriately kept in contact throughout the case and afterwards, and I just felt I could trust her. I went to her at first with my own narrow point of view at first and just wanted her to write a letter from a lawyer to the hoa president to show I'm no push over, but I opened up to her more and more over time and she became a trusted advisor, for which I gladly paid for.
Christine has become our family's lawyer and we all enjoy working with her. I would definitely hire her again and recommend her to others.

I struggled for nearly two years making minimum payments on my bills getting absolutely nowhere and then my income decreased significantly. I called Olga in a panic. It was like she put her arms around me(over the phone) and helped me get a proper perspective on what I was going through and how to deal with it. She was sympathetic to my situation and gave me not only the best deal I could find on a bankruptcy but allowed me to make payments!I met with her at her office where she gave me instructions to forward the incessant phone calls I was receiving to her staff,take a short online class(required),set up payment schedule and gave me some homework and peace of mind.I will be dropping my homework and final payment early next week and wish to recommend and thank Olga Nazimova publicly as I am no longer the basket case I had become thanks to her calm and professional spirit and attention to detail. Thank you Olga for helping me when I really needed it. God bless, Kenneth S.

I was injured in a car accident on April of 2011. I found George Najjar online randomly and boy was I glad that I did! George did everything he told me he would do for me and my case. He kept me informed with ALL matters of my case, as new information came in. George was always very professional and made me understand all aspects of how bodily injury cases are handled. I was NEVER mislead in any shape or form by him. George went above and beyond for me, on my case and got me the money that I deserved. I highly recommend George for any bodily injury case! The bottom line is George is a genuine guy, who will not beat around the bush with you. Thank you George for everything you did for me with my case and G-LUCK with your LAW FIRM!

Ajay handled a personal injury case for me a few years ago where I had been rear ended and aggravated an old injury in the collision. He was able to not only get all my medical and chiropractic related expenses covered so I incurred no out-of-pocket expenses, but also got me a financial settlement that I was more than comfortable with. He was timely, extremely professional and prompt in his handling of all aspects of my case, and I would strongly recommend him to other people in need!

I feel very lucky to have found Brandi Kurlander. She was a total LIFE SAVER.
I was in a car accident and after it I was suffering from terrible migraines and a lot of other pain. The insurance for the person who hit me kept calling day after day to talk to me after the accident. I was barely sleeping and they kept calling me when I was finally resting. I decided I needed someone else to deal with all of this, as I could not, and that is when I hired Brandi. Again, I feel very lucky to have found Brandi Kurlander. The calls stopped and she was on the case. Brandi and her staff kept me apprised at every step and I was allowed to do some healing.
I haven't been through something like this before, so having an expert like Brandi handling this for me was an excellent call on my part. Brandi made sure I got the proper treatment that was needed and dealt with the automobile insurance company to ensure I was compensated for my medical bills and pain and suffering. I felt that Brandi worked extremely hard on my case and because of this I feel like the settlement she negotiated for me was exceptional. I cannot say enough POSITIVE PRAISE about Brandi and I would highly recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Brandi steered us through the confusing and often times scary decisions involved with a complicated Workers Comp case. Her advice and guidance ensured that my work place injury wasn't going to have the devastating impact on our financial future that we feared it would. Without Brandi we know we wouldn't have received anywhere near the final settlement that we arrived at had it not been for her. Insurance companies have the power and leverage to make the average person seem small and inconsequential, but Brandi held their feet to the fire and come to the table with a fare settlement that exceeded our expectations. We could not recommend anyone any higher and only hope that your involvement with her is as rewarding as ours was.

I purchased a VW Jetta from a corrupt car dealership, the car still had a manufactures warranty from VW dealership. I thought I was good to go!!!
After 31 days the engine was completely destroyed and I was left with a non returnable Vehicle that VW refused to honor the warranty because work had previously been done on the car radiator before I purchased the Vehicle.
The radiator was not correct for the vehicle, caused the engine to overheat (something like that) and left me with a worthless car and 15k in the hole!
I called Robert in tears and he calmed me down assuring me that he would take a lemon law approach. I was skeptical and scared because VW said that no one would cover this car and there was not much I could do. Fixing the car was more than I purchased it for.
Robert couldn’t have been more helpful and carering. Every step of the way, he fought my case and I was able to get all my money back, pay Robert and have extra for the trouble I went thru.
I replaced the car, and purchased it from Volkswagen. Robert even connected me with his resources and referred me to a car hunter so that I wouldn’t be taken advantage of.
Robert was the best decision I’ve made in a long time! He’s a person that truly cares.
I highly recommend Robert!!!!

Nobody wants to hire a lawyer, but in finding myself in that position, I hired Alan Cheung to represent me. We were filing against a remodeling company for faulty work on a remodel. Alan was very thorough in his documents to the opposing lawyer. He kept me well informed by email and phone calls of how the case was moving along. When I was ready to settle the case and "just be done" because I was sick of it, Alan kept working on it for me and ended up getting me almost double the amount of money I was willing to settle for. Alan really put for an effort above and beyond.

I worked with Brian for roughly a year through a civilian discrimination case against military members. He was amazing, walked me through every step, texted or called back within a day or two or one of his assistance did and they always calmed me down with any worries I had. Brian carried himself very confidently which made me feel secure about my case. Brian and his team are very kind and professional and ultimately won my case for every penny I had lost! I would in a heart beat recommend Brian and will always refer anyone looking for a lawyer to Brian and his team! He is simply the best in the field!

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.
