When my sisters informed me that our grandfather’s caretakers had changed his will to their benefit two years before he passed at 103 and that they wanted to hire an attorney to fight it, I was on board. We hired Evans Law Firm. Due to my work schedule, I was rarely able to attend the many phone calls but I was on all the email correspondence. Ms. Evans and her team were very thorough and dedicated to getting the truth. Due to Evans Law Firm’s tenacity, we were able to secure a settlement completely in our favor. I would without a doubt hire Evans Law Firm for Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse cases.

My siblings and I hired Evans Law Firm after we discovered our grandfather’s caretakers had our 101-year-old grandfather change his trust. Evans Law Firm immediately took our Elder Financial Fraud and Abuse case. Ms. Evans has a no-nonsense way of getting to the point, but she does so because she can so clearly see the injustice and it infuriates her. She will then use that as motivation to dig out the truth. And did she! She was a forced to be reckoned with during the depositions and the amount of subpoenaed info she and her team combed through was incredible. Ms. Evans was able to secure a very uncommon FULL settlement in our favor. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Ms. Evans and Evans Law Firm.

I appreciate the opportunity to share my unfortunate experience with Dolan Law Firm. I also appreciate the time the case manager, Mercedes, took to briefly listen to my concerns. I didn't expect to receive services from Dolan Law Firm from the questions I was asked during the information (intake) gathering. I messaged them since their website was advertised on another website as a possible law firm for civil rights cases. I read their reviews and a lot of reviews seem to be accident (personal injury) cases. Possibly there's a quota that needs to be fulfilled or the documentation that was requested that I emailed to the case manager was reviewed and or searched possibly for a statement regarding a accident and or personal injury, I am uncertain. I would have preferred to have received an email message regarding the type of case(s) the law firm is/was currently interested in taking.I realize not every person and or potential clients can be 'pleased'. However, the few negative reviews listed for this law firm have concerning and possibly valid points that I think potential clients may (or may not) want to consider. I did not receive services from this company/law firm, so I would not recommend this company to a friend or colleague.

After I suffered a crippling knee injury, Dan was recommended to me by a trusted lawyer friend of mine. As soon as I hired Dan, he plowed full steam ahead on my case and didn’t let up until he had obtained a great settlement for me in a short period of time. He frequently updated me on the progress of the case and answered my questions any time of day or night. All in all, he greatly exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to anyone with a personal injury matter. There is good reason that some folks call him “Dan the man”.

Dan Rose has represented me, my family, and several of our friends over the past 25 years. He is our go to guy and a comfort to us, knowing he will always have our backs. He has never failed us. He wins. He is a highly skillful and accomplished professional with an impeccable record of successes in the cases he has taken on. He is efficient and thorough and effective. One may say this about other attorneys, but Dan has something special. He has a fire in his belly. Once Dan is your advocate, he is intrepid and tenacious in pursuit of justice for you. That’s what you want in an advocate. For me personally, what makes him extra special is his sensitivity, compassion, patience and understanding of what people are going through in the legal process and how intrusive it can be. Dan really gets this.He keeps his clients informed every step of the way. When you hire Dan, you not only hire an attorney, but also, you hire a partner who will be in lockstep with you throughout the legal process. I give Dan the highest rating possible. Hands down. He’s the greatest!

I recently had the opportunity to work with Adam Neufer, Ramon Montijo, and Erin Carlson from Moradi Neufer Law Firm on my tedious divorce case, and I am incredibly grateful for their support and expertise throughout the process. From our first meeting, Adam and Ramon demonstrated a high level of professionalism and knowledge in family law. They took the time to thoroughly understand my situation, which made me feel valued as a client. Adam's ability to break down complex legal concepts into understandable terms was particularly helpful, allowing me to make informed decisions at every step. Both Adam and Ramon were not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive. They were always available to answer my questions, no matter how trivial they might have seemed. Their respectful approach made me feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues, which is crucial during such a challenging time. I never felt rushed or dismissed; instead, they treated my case with the attention it deserved. The friendly demeanor of Adam, Ramon, Erin made a significant difference in my experience. They maintained a positive attitude throughout the process, which helped alleviate some of the stress associated with divorce proceedings. Their approachable nature encouraged open communication, making it easy for me to express my concerns and needs. I highly recommend Adam Neufer and Ramon Montijo at Moradi Neufer Law Firm for anyone facing family law issues. Their thoroughness, respectfulness, and friendly service turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into a manageable one. I am thankful for their dedication to my case and feel confident in the outcome we achieved together. Thank you, Adam, Ramon, and Erin!

My husband and I recently settled a five year long injury case against a major corporation. This accident not only destroyed our lives but our son in law also sustained very similar injuries to my husband. We believe their injuries were sustained from a product failure. My Husband & I were referred to The Cartwright Law Firm & we were ecstatic to finally get some hope that we in deed had a case. Robert Cartwright, Andrew Ratto and the entire Cartwright team went above and beyond to make sure they left no stone unturned. They worked so hard on our case and assured us that we had a fighting chance. As time for trial approached, again after being postponed numerous times we finally knew that one way or another this portion of our nightmare was finally coming to an end. At last the time was finally here, jury selection was beginning & once that was complete our trial would finally begin. Although we knew that we also had to attend a settlement conference and attempt to settle this case out of court once more but we honestly didn't think we would settle. Andrew & Rob never stopped, they were absolutely prepared to take this all the way knowing we could all loose everything. After countless sleepless nights and an unwavering amount of hours put into our case we finally were able to come to a settlement agreement that will never give us our life back but it definitely help us move forward. Our Settlement couldn't have happened without Andrew & Rob pushing so hard, they were always honest & after working with them for the past five years, they have truly became a part of our family. We are extremely thankful that we found them and if you were looking for the best personal injury, lawyers in the Bay Area, we believe you have found them.

Working with D. L. Rencher on a wrongful death case was an experience that truly exceeded all my expectations. At a time when my family and I were navigating one of the most heartbreaking and challenging periods of our lives, D. L. Rencher provided not only exceptional legal expertise but also unwavering support and compassion. From our very first meeting, he approached my case with the sensitivity and respect it deserved. They took the time to understand the profound loss we were facing and assured us that they would do everything in their power to seek justice for our loved one. His deep empathy, coupled with a meticulous attention to detail, made it clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. Throughout the entire process, D. L. Rencher was a pillar of strength and guidance. Everyone in his office was always available to answer my questions, offering clear and thorough explanations of complex legal matters. Their communication was prompt and consistent, ensuring that I never felt lost or overwhelmed during the proceedings. What truly set D. L. Rencher apart was his relentless dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for my highly complex and contentious trial, and I can confidently say that his performance was nothing short of extraordinary. From negotiations and court appearances it was clear that I was working with an attorney of the highest caliber. I cannot recommend D. L. Rencher highly enough. If you are seeking representation for a wrongful death case, you will find no one more capable, compassionate, and committed lawyer than D. L. Rencher. He is not just an exceptional lawyer, but a true ally in the pursuit of justice. My family and I are forever grateful for his extraordinary service.

Sandra Ribera believes passionately that every child has the fundamental right to have a childhood where you don’t become a victim of a violent and heinous sexual assault. If you are an adult as I am now and were victimized you need to call Sandra Ribera. Sandra will be sensitive to your emotional state, willingness to listen and very attentive to detail. Sandra showed me great compassion, very strong knowledge of the law regarding my rights to find and seek justice and restitution. Sandra was able to do that pre litigation. Sandra is an amazing attorney. Sandra clearly and articulately explained the law and my rights, was always reassuring whenever we spoke and never made me doubt that she wasn’t fighting for me. With the expertise that Sandra has and that she exhibited in the pre litigation process is why she was successful. I would without a doubt highly recommend Sandra Ribera to any woman who has stayed silent for so many years out of fear and the shame you feel that she will fight for you and allow you to reclaim some of the dignity and self worth you’ve felt you lost so long ago.

Working with Sandra and her colleagues was by far the best experience I had regarding a legal matter! She helped me navigate a complex and very personal case. Which required a deep understanding of very intimate elements. Sandra showed great empathy, always treated me with dignity and respect. I felt that I could share any detail as she created a safe environment and empowered me immensely. I can't even find the proper words to describe Sandy's qualities as well as her colleagues. Navigating the US legal system as a foreigner is anxiety inducing. Having the right attorney is vital! Sandra, on top of being super competent, has a great personality. I found myself most of the time not even thinking about my issue. My anxiety went completely away once I knew I was in very good hands! Luckily, she was recommended to me and her firm was the first one I reached out to. I feel if I took the phone to dial random attorneys, I would have given up by the first call as I would have felt unsafe to share all the intimate details. If you are looking for an attorney, just stop looking, you just found the best! Thanks to Sandra, now I can finally create my charity dedicated to help many people. I am eternally grateful!

Not only a highly skilled and competent attorney, who knows how to navigate a tough case, but a truly good person as well. Sandy was patient, diligent, and a fighter for me. The result was better than imagined. I highly recommend Sandy. She is an experienced pro who also cares, unlike other attorneys.

Matthew was on it from the get go! He helped me understand my case quickly and had he offered direct and candid conversations with me, as to what the realities of what litigation could look like. I found this to be important, because other lawyers I spoke with offered soft, ambiguous predictions for the future. Matt kept me educated along the way regularly and was able to simplify the process at all times. Ultimately he delivered the exact results that he had predicted on day one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I came to Bourhis Law Group after jumping through endless hoops with my long-term disability insurance company and getting nowhere. Matt and Ritsa made me feel heard, important, and respected every step of the way. We settled with the insurance company after they couldn't wiggle out of their obligations when faced with attorneys who really know the law. Ann-Marie was also kind and patient at every turn, I never felt like I was interrupting or annoying when asking for something to be explained, again. If you want to be represented by an attorney who cares and knows the law, you need Bourhis Law Group on your side.

This is my highest recommendation for the courteous and professional service I received from Jason Lundberg on my recent personal injury case concerning a slip and fall that occurred in Oakland, CA. Jason Lundberg is a personal injury attorney in San Francisco, CA. I had initially hired another law firm to handle my case and after several years of no real action and what now appears to have been a series of professional blunders by the original law firm, my case file was essentially handed over to Jason Lundberg. This was probably the best thing to happen for me and my case as he immediately took the bull by the horns. I had a settlement check in my hands within 6 months of my meeting him. Job well done Jason! He attended doctor’s appointments and all meetings himself. He was always keeping my best interest in mind and always kept my busy schedule as top consideration for important dates. If you need further recommendations from me leave your email address with Jason and I will answer any reasonable questions to the best of my ability. Jonathan - Oakland, CA

After a life threatening injury accident, I very nearly tried to settle with the driver's insurance company on my own. What a mistake that would've been, but the lawyers I'd interviewed were more like car salesmen than legal advocates. Soon after I started making a tragic series of uninformed decisions, I had the good fortune to meet Jason. I must have seemed overly cautious, but he stuck with me, taking time to explain everything. His larger than life personality is more than perfectly genuine, it's perfectly suited to his profession. At every turn, Jason clearly knew his stuff, from legal nooks and crannies to the maelstrom of hospital/doctor/fire dept billing depts, and insurance adjusters (one after another). Jason is a master communicator, forthright, practical, and shrewd. To find a trusted lawyer is even more important than finding a trusted mechanic. The trauma, stress and uncertainty I'd been dealing with steadily faded and I was able to get back to my life! Even as we continued to wait on the other side, Jason would phone me with status updates and include me in his thought process. Jason works incredibly hard. Even after we'd arrived at a settlement, meaning his fee was a known quantity, Jason continued to work on my behalf, pursuing billing inconsistencies that, once resolved, resulted in even more of the settlement coming to me. I have amply cause to give him five stars across the board. I can't recommend him enough.

Her team handled everything with compassion, until it was time for the mediation. Linda was tough when she needed, had experience and knowledge in this field, referred my child to an expert that gave me a lot of input and greatly helped the chances of the case. I even walked away without signing a non disclosure agreement. I could not be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Linda Ross, she was an angel in one of the most challenging moments of my life.

John is an outstanding personal injury attorney with a big heart! I had two car accidents with life-changing injuries involving negligent drivers and felt very lost at the time. I was overwhelmed with medical bills while struggling to get my life back on track. I reached out to John and he agreed to represent me in a heartbeat! He was strategic and attained an excellent outcome that exceeded my expectations. What impressed me the most was John’s determination to achieve the best possible result! He fought hard for my rights and was responsive to my needs, providing not only legal advice but also emotional support during the difficult time. He had the magic touch and superpower to make an initially daunting experience remarkably approachable. From the first phone call I had with John, I felt HEARD! His professionalism and empathy made such a huge difference! He guided me through the entire process, easing my worries and giving clear explanations regarding the legal and insurance procedures. John was also proactive, sharp, and realistic about the strategies for my cases as they developed. He gave me honest counsel that showed the highest standards of ethics and professional integrity. He genuinely cared about my cases and my well-being. I truly felt my best interests were taken into consideration. John was kind and friendly and had a positive attitude. He addressed all of my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with every decision and option. He also took his time to explain complex legal concepts and treated even my silliest questions with great patience. He kept constant communication, ensuring I was informed every step of the way. I was fortunate to have an attorney like John who is skilled and reassuring during times of high stress, especially after the car accidents leaving me with serious long-term injuries when I was not at fault. He went above and beyond to advocate for me and helped me through some of the most challenging moments of my life. My only focus was on getting well and receiving the medical treatment I needed. He gave me peace of mind and took care of everything else. Now that John has successfully resolved my cases, I am able to move on with my life and focus on my physical recovery with ease! I am forever grateful for John’s help and highly recommend him to anyone seeking effective, trustworthy, and compassionate representation. You will be in excellent hands. A heartfelt THANK YOU to John!

Jonah was very communicative from the start, and was able to get me added to SF calendar quickly, so I flew in/out for court in the same day. He answered all questions I had, and was always very good about responding. To top it all off - his price was excellent.

I can't say enough good things about my experience with Wesley Wakeford. From the moment my mother and I walked into his office and met him we knew that we wanted him to represent us. He is compassionate and honest and very forthcoming with his information and his recommendations. His support during the months following the death of my brother in a motorcycle accident, combined with his expertise and dedication when it came to handling my case, was immeasurable. He kept me well informed as to the status of the case, as well as updating me on any contact he had with the representatives from the insurance company of the person who hit and killed my brother on his motorcycle. The resolution of my case was more than satisfactory, it was excellent! In the future, I know exactly who to turn to when I need excellent legal representation. Thank you again, for all you did for me and my family.

I was referred to Wesley Wakeford in the fall of 2007 by a retiring personal injury attorney that did not have adequate time to devote to my case. I had recently been hit by a car and in addition to suffering from nerve damage, trauma and not being able to work, the insurance companies were unwilling to compensate me for my medical bills and associated expenses due to a discrepancy in the police report. I needed to find an expert to assist me with navigating the case and Mr. Wakeford came highly recommended. Despite my lack of financial resources Wesley was wiling to work with me and saw to it that I was able to receive consistent medical care by arranging a lien for services with my various healthcare providers. This ability to receive regular, ongoing medical attention allowed me to fully recover from the accident and years later I am confident that I received both the best healthcare and legal assistance possible. Wesley was very thorough and knowledgeable in helping me account for all of my affiliated expenses and he followed through by seeing to it that each of these items was paid for when the case was closed. From the very beginning Wesley was dedicated to representing my case and he was diligent about communicating with me throughout each stage of the two and a half year process. This communication helped to keep me informed and actually taught me a thing or two about how these things work from a legal perspective. Wesley listened to to all of my ups and downs throughout the case and became a trusted confident and sounding board. Today I do not hesitate to pick up the phone and give Wesley a call if there is any legal issue that I need advice on. I both trust and recommend the legal services of Wesley Wakeford knowing from direct experience that in any situation Mr. Wakeford will go the extra mile and his work will exceed my expectations. This accident and my relationship with Wesley has also shaped my personal career path as I am now inspired to pursue a career in law so that I too may become a voice for justice. Thank you Wesley for all that you do~keep up the good work!

I found it pleasurable working with Wesley Wakeford as he was the first really good lawyer that I've ever met. Most of the legal professionals seemed, politically biased, semi-professional, and arrogant. I would think that such an important service would attract the most highly rated, professional people. Unfortunately that is not always the case. My experience with Mr. Wakeford gave me a new view of the world of law. While I'm sure he did not make a great deal of money with my case; not once did I get the impression that I was not as important as the next client. Mr. Wakeford worked very hard to assist me in getting through the process as easily as possible. My automobile accident left me injured, angry, and confused but with the help of The Wakeford Firm things got sorted out in a clear and equitable manner. I also find it very interesting that Wes was there to guide me through Doctor Visits, car rentals, insurance matters and settlement negotiations. I had virtually no experience in these matters, but it was obvious to me that I had one the most caring and skillful lawyers around to help me. I hope to never need this type of service again; but I would certainly retain Wes Wakeford should the need arise.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Understand the contingency fee percentage and any additional costs you may incur.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Seek an honest assessment of your case's strengths and potential challenges.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Get an estimate of the timeline for settling or taking the case to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    Ensure you know who will be managing your case and their level of involvement.
  6. 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.
