I honestly can’t recommend Spencer enough! He helped me navigate a DUI case, and somehow made the entire process feel unbelievably smooth—especially considering how stressful the situation was. From beginning to end, Spencer kept me fully informed and made sure I was clear on every step. There was zero stress or confusion. He took care of everything, from court dates to all the paperwork, so I barely had to lift a finger. I’ve known Spencer for about 10 years, and he’s always been incredibly responsive and dependable. No matter how big or small the issue is, I trust him to handle it with ease. If you ever need legal help, Spencer is the person you want in your corner!

I recently had the privilege of being represented by Ed Flores in a high profile street racing case, and I cannot express enough how grateful I am for his outstanding service. From the very beginning, him and his team demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and a commitment to my case that went above and beyond my expectations. From my initial consultation, it was clear that Ed and his team were experts in criminal defense. They meticulously reviewed all the details of my case, identifying key areas to challenge the prosecution’s evidence. Their knowledge of the legal system and past case precedents was instrumental in building a strong defense. Throughout the entire process, I was kept informed about every development in my case. Ed made sure I understood my options and the potential outcomes at every stage. This transparency and open communication provided me with peace of mind and confidence that I was in good hands. What impressed me most was the strategic approach taken by Ed. They left no stone unturned, conducting thorough investigations and consulting with experts to support my defense. Their tenacity in the courtroom was evident as they presented compelling arguments that ultimately led to my case having the half a dozen charges dropped which included a felony as well. Beyond their legal expertise, the team at Flores Law Group was incredibly compassionate and supportive. The ultimate result speaks for itself – my street racing case was dismissed, and I can now move forward with my life without the burden of a criminal record. This outcome was a direct result of Ed's hard work, dedication, and exceptional legal skills. I highly recommend Flores Law Group to anyone in need of a criminal defense attorney. They are truly the best in the business, and I am forever grateful for their help. If you find yourself in need of legal representation, look no further than Flores Law Group – they will fight for you every step of the way!

I was referred to Mr. Flores by a friend. This was a blessing in disguise, from the start Mr. Flores and his staff were kind, honest, and informative. My case was regarding a car accident with a DUI driver hitting the vehicle I was in. The case was complicated due to many factors. Yet, I never felt like Mr.Flores attitude or approach changed during this time. Each conversation with him and Ruth felt genuine and full of information.
We ended this 3 year case with him recommending a great book to any parent new or old, “ The Conscious Parent”. Thank you for your help and for the great recommendation. I feel lucky to have been represented by Mr. Flores.

In 2012 our family was involved in a rear end accident on the 210 freeway. Both my wife and daughter were taken to the hospital via ambulance. The individual that struck our vehicle was uninsured; therefore, we were forced to file a claim with our own insurance company. Our insurance company did not want to pay us a fair settlement, so we retained attorney Connor for our uninsured motorist claim. To date the attorney has been awesome.
I would highly recommend Attorney Thomas Connor to anyone looking for an auto accident attorney in Orange County.

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.
