This will be the second time I hire the Fontes Law Group in Santa Ana. I live in Miami, work in Spain, and I’m from Houston and researched intensely on many immigration law firms and hands down they are the best. I’m incredibly grateful for the attention to detail and diligence. I’m also grateful to Veronica Levya for her patience and professionalism. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I closed my case with the Law Offices of Dennis Dascanio and I highly recommend him Mariella was very helpful and was able to answer all my questions the communication for them is number one and you can talk to the attorney whenever you request an appointment no hassle at all

Quiero recomendar a la abogada Navarro y la firma Fontes. Yo llegue a ella gracias a recomendación de mi sobrina a quien le ayudo a ganar un caso de custodia. Yo estaba atravesando un proceso complicado de divorcio en el cuál había muchas implicaciones/agresiones por parte de mi ex esposa el cual se estaba alargando más de lo deseado. Yo comencé el proceso con un paralegal por "barato" sin saber que lo barato me saldría más caro. En cuanto llegue con la abogada Navarro se notó su experiencia, profesionalidad y educación. Ella y su equipo me guiaron paso a paso durante el proceso, me mantuvieron informado de cada avance en el caso y contestaban mis dudas. Cabe destacar que la srita Gali fue quien estuvo en contacto conmigo y me escucho y resolvia todas mis dudas y me guio, cuándo la abogada no podía hacerlo directamente y siempre lo hizo de una manera profesional y amistosa. El día de la audiencia me sentí ampliamente representado por la abogada y gracias a ella, su experiencia y su guía legal pudimos llegar a un acuerdo en mediación y finalizar el divorcio. Estoy sumamente agradecido con la abogada y su equipo. 100% recomiendo a la Abogada Navarro y su gran equipo para quien este pasando por un caso legal difícil. Quiero recalcar que si estas en un proceso de divorcio no acudas a lugares baratos, solo te hacen perder tiempo y dinero y esas personas no te asesoran en absolutamente nada legal.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my attorney Bob, Khakshooy for his exceptional representation throughout my case. His strong commitment and fierce advocacy on my behalf have been truly outstanding. I am beyond grateful for his efforts and am extremely satisfied with the results. His dedication made all the difference, and I am deeply appreciative of his hard work and support.

Very good experience and attention, they assigned me a person who spoke Spanish to help me and make everything easier and faster, very good doctors, their offices in very good condition and they treated me very well. When you have an accident everything gets complicated and more stressful but they made it so much easier for me.

I want to thank Chris and his team for representing me through a high conflict divorce. Chris is a brilliant attorney who treats his clients as if they were his own family. He is very dedicated in ensuring that his clients are always his priority. He represented me with full dedication and always made me his priority. I went through 3 attorneys until I found the right one, and it was definitely Chris who made a huge impact in my life. I highly recommend anyone going through a high conflict divorce to reach out to Chris for representation. You will always be taken care of and made a priority when represented by Chris and his firm. He always fought for me with everything he has. I don't know what I would have done if Chris wasn't the one representing me in court. Thank you Chris for all you did for me this past year and I am forever grateful for you and your amazing staff.

It’s hard to put into words the gratitude I have for the whole Sunnen Law firm. They assisted me during a very stressful and dark point in my life but every time I called, showed up to the office, or went to court they always were cheerful, helpful, and most of all they listened to me. I can’t imagine how many times I called them with simple questions and they were always happy to answer them. They are very accommodating. I see some people say they are expensive but my only response to that is the work speaks for itself. Everything the Sunnen team has done was thought out and always communicated clearly. They will remain highly suggested by myself and I’m so glad I picked this team to help me with the process of my divorce.

If you get Gabby from Adams & Corzine, you will be in good hands on how to handle your legal matters. She is easily one of the most polite legal representatives I met in regards to my situation. Many other places were not interested in my accident as no one was injured, but she actually took the time to examine my story, and gave valuable feedback. In case her bosses sees this; she deserves a raise. :)

15 Jan, 2024 by Mike delgado

After my father and I were involved in a pretty bad car wreck, we weren't sure who to turn to for help regarding the process of our case. When we were recommended to Mr. Adams by a freind we decided to give the law firm a visit. After our first meeting we felt very welcomed as Mr. Adams not only makes a strenuous effort to come out with the best outcome for our case, but he also makes an effort to get to know you and connect in a more personal level. Being a student a Sac state and he being an alumni there, we had a good time bonding while Mr. Adams guided me through tm he process and making sure I understood the situation and was up-to-date. If I ever find myself in a rocky situation like this again (hopefully not), there would be no other attorney and law firm I would turn to but Adams & Corzine. Thank you for everything!

Doug is an excellent lawyer. He doesn't even make you feel like he is your lawyer, he talks to you on a very personal level making you feel more like a long time friend you have known for years. When I first had my accident, Doug went out of his way to come to my house and see how I was doing. I was in a wheelchair at the time and this was very helpful of Doug. He has an excellent sense of humor but more importantly he is very smart and knows his craft well. You can tell by talking with Doug that he is well experienced and knows what he is doing. On top of that his assistant Gaby is helpful as well and answers questions in a timely manner. Doug is the lawyer you want whenever the time comes that you need one. I have had other lawyers in the past and Doug definitely sticks out more in my mind than the others. Doug genuinely cares about his clients and he is a man of his word. He is professional, personal and not hard to get ahold of. Doug thoroughly goes through your case with you making sure you understand everything and all the details surrounding it. You will not regret choosing Doug as your lawyer! I have recommended him to my family and friends.

I hired Rodger, and his assistant P.I. paralegal,Victor Vivia. From inside jail. After reading their book, The CA. Criminal handbook. Explaining what to do,& what not to do during an arrest. Roger, and Victor really stood up for me in court. And with their,hard nosed, negotiation skills, kept me from going to prison. When everybody else failed,they really came through for me.Id recommend Rodger to anyone, under any circumstance. I think I got to know Victor at a personal level after knowing him for some years now. I think it's because, we would both like to consider ourselves,"practicing"magicians. Exchanging each other's secrets. Let's face it, if you can't trust to your lawyer,who can you trust? Again always, thank you for your help; Roger lampkin, & Victor Vivia.

Although chronic pain can sometimes feel like a curse, mostly I feel lucky to be alive and grateful for the help I've received since i got a second chance at living. It's been my recent experience that Zinn Law and Co. Are the best in the Bay at handling personal injury cases. When it comes to getting hit off your bike in the city, as I was, there really is no amount of$that can heal such injuries. But something is better than nothing, and in my case that something was great!! Thanks everyone (praying hands emoji)

I was referred to Panish Shea specifically Jesse Creed after a very traumatic work accident. It’s safe to say that I am glad I was referred to him! I could not have asked for a better lawyer, Jesse handled my case exceptionally. If I were ever uneasy about anything during the case Jesse would take the time to explain and give all the attention needed carefully. He handled work meticulously and intentionally, and in the end, Jesse got me the maximum compensation amount possible which quite frankly even surprised me. I highly recommend Panish Shea Boyle, and especially Jesse Creed. -Chris Grijalva

Outstanding Support During a Difficult Time Navigating a divorce is never easy, but my experience was made significantly more manageable thanks to Baghdaserians Law Group. From the outset, Patrick displayed exceptional professionalism, empathy, and dedication to my case. Also, despite the complexities involved, Tarek Kholaki handled every challenge with poise and an unwavering commitment to protecting my interests and those of my family. Patrick and Tarek were always available to answer my questions, provide clear and honest advice, and guide me through each step of the process. They ensured I felt supported and informed, turning what could have been an overwhelming experience into one where I felt confident and well-represented. I can't thank Baghdaserians Law Group enough for their expertise and kindness during such a challenging time. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a family lawyer who truly cares about their clients and will go above and beyond to achieve the best possible outcome.

I had the pleasure of meeting Patrick a few years ago. His expertise and dedication in handling complex cases are absolutely unmatched. Always great working with him, know you’re in good hands

07 Jun, 2024 by Norman ahmad

The issue I had was that Patrick case load was so high that he had to do all my hearings except 1 by remote session. Even when he said we would show up in person he later sent me a remote hearing request. Judges are human so they will naturally favor the litigants who are standing in court instead of the ones appearing online. Unless both litigants agree to appear remotely a lawyer should never request a client to do to a remote hearing as Patrick made me do. Another lawyer told me that he had never heard of a lawyer appearing remotely for an initial RFO hearing. This shows to the Judge that you are not serious. Judges are not Robots so they definitely feel a type of way when one litigant is appearing online and the other is in the courtroom. It would take weeks to get an email response from him or even a callback. I had to go to the office unannounced in person several times just to get in contact with him. It also took too long to get a hearing date due to the number of other clients and hearings he was scheduled for. Even once we had a date, he was still unable to appear in PERSON to the hearing due to his full calendar. Later the opposing attorney who won talked to me and laughed asking why I did not show up in person to my own RFO. I am sure the Judge shared the same sentiments. I later switched lawyers and went with a lawyer who only had a few reviews on Google/yelp because I knew they would have time to work my case without too much overhead and too many other clients. The number of clients/reviews Patrick has negatively affected the quality and service that he was able to deliver for me. I was also not comfortable with how his office solicited me to write a review while he was in the middle of working on my case. Naturally, a client will feel pressured to write a good review while the case still being worked on. Beware of any business that solicits a review before service is completed. I removed 3 stars for 3 reasons. 1. I was ignored: (many unanswered emails and phone calls) 2. I was lied to: (Through email he agreed to show up in person to a hearing which he later made me do remotely). 3. I feel ripped off: (The amount of money he charges /hr should automatically come with the understanding that he will do all hearings in person unless the client requests otherwise). I feel he did my hearings remotely so that he could simultaneously work on other client’s cases, which benefits his business but not me as a client.

HARMONY IS TRULY AMAZING!! It is safe to assume that anyone searching for an attorney is probably not in the best season of their life. In most cases, representation is needed at a time of vulnerability, fear, and often pain. It is in this state that I sought counsel. At that point, I had worked with two different lawyers who seemed to lack empathy and understanding of my circumstances. Then I found Harmony and MKH Accident Attorneys. Not only did Harmony have expert knowledge and ability to navigate the intricacies of the Legal and Court system, she also validated my experiences. She believed me and made me feel like I wasn’t alone for the first time in all of my legal challenges. Harmony worked tirelessly and helped me to achieve the very best outcome. I cannot even express how unbelievably grateful I am that an Attorney like Harmony even exists, let alone how blessed I feel to have had her by my side through this very difficult time of my life.

08 Apr, 2024 by Todd

I am impressed—from the initial communication to the signed settlement agreement—working with Joseph Aliberti has been outstanding. Many dynamics exists between clients, the nature of cases, attorney’s, judges, and courts. The experienced counsel represented by Joseph Aliberti turned an otherwise fearful and contentious process—wrought with uncertainty, into one of clarity governed by rule of law. They say that Justice is blind—Attorney Joseph Aliberti removed the blindfold and guided Justice in the right direction. Though one never looks forward to litigation, having experienced counsel, like that offered by Joseph Aliberti, helps to shine a light on an otherwise beclouded and intimidating process. Thanks

Ms. English has little to no idea of how to be an effective attorney. She took my case and initially presented a disguise of competence which fooled me. As I worked closely with her month by month, she caused significant damage to my case, the full consequences of which were only understood by me much later when other attorneys reviewing my case would ask me why Ms. English did not take important legal steps or didnt inform me about the consequences of certain legal manuevers she took. I would only refer enemies to someone like Ms. English. Friends, family, and strangers alike should take heed, do their research, and run from someone as impaired as Ms. English

She knows what she is doing, she is actually available to answer your questions, she will work on your case very closely. The only thing I regret is to not had hired her sooner. After a painful and long journey of year and a half of divorce with a different attorney, I finally switched lawyers and she so far has done more in a month than my previous lawyer.

Four years ago, I got seriously ill after a routine blood draw and had an infection on my arm. I was hosiptalized for 3 weeks and took a long time to recover. I am glad Mr Nield took my case and resulted in a settlement with the clinic. If you are injured in a medical procedure, I would highly recommend Mr Nield to represent you to fight for your right.

i first learned about this firm was by chance and through word of mouth in 2017 when my son was struck by a drunk driver. My son at the time was a Freshman in high school. When i called to schedule an appointment to talk to the attorney, Gabrielle Nield, I spoke to her office staff and explained our situation. However, it is critical for me to make known that we as a family were devastated by my son’s accident and not knowing our rights and fear of all the unknowns like the medical bills and outcome of our son. The office staff, Diana Burkhardt was patient, kind and compassionate. After hearing me out she scheduled an appointment work the attorney, Gabrielle Nield and her business partner (husband). That experience was also met with so much compassion but also no nonsense in the sense that she told us immediately what she could and could not do. The end result was extremely well worked and Gabrielle Nield went above and beyond with having the insurance pay all the bills and get my son a generous monetary compensation. Recently, January 2023, my son who i didn’t mention earlier is autistic. My son received a call from a scammer impersonating himself as a financial consultant who reached out to my son and attempting to scam him out of $55k. Gabrielle Nield received this information since some legal documents needed to be sent to her office. Gabrielle Nield immediately saw red flags and tho our case has been closed for over 6 years, Gabrielle found me and notified me of the scam. Gabrielle again went above and beyond to put a stop to this and did not charge us any amount even though I insisted to pay for her time and service she didn’t accept the money. Gabrielle Nield and her legal firm are angels 😇!!! Absolutely God sent to so justice for those who can’t legally represent themselves. i absolutely recommend this firm to anyone needing honest attorney representation. Especially in a world that has such little empathy at times seems so bleak, this is the legal firm you want on your side, smart, honest, diligent, compassionate, hardworking and will do their best for their clients.

My husband was a victim and hurt in a motor vehicle accident and retained Gabrielle and Ed Nield of the Nield Law Group to represent him. The Nield Law Group patiently walked us through the process, and were available to address all of the questions and concerns we had in a very timely manner. NLG handled the case with the utmost care and professionalism. We feel that Gabrielle, Ed and their staff had my husband's best interest at hand and were able to obtain a favorable settlement. We would definitely recommend Nield Law Group for their helpful and honest work!

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You

A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.

If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

When Should I Hire a Medical Malpractice Lawyer?

Hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is essential if you’ve been seriously injured due to the negligence of a healthcare provider or institution. Situations where you should seek legal representation include:

Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis: If a doctor fails to diagnose or delays diagnosing a medical condition, leading to harm or progression of the illness.
Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.
Anesthesia errors: Complications arising from improperly administered anesthesia, which can lead to serious injury or death.
Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.

Medical malpractice cases are complex, and hiring a lawyer early can help ensure your rights are protected and your case is handled effectively.

What Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Do?

A medical malpractice lawyer provides various legal services to help injured patients hold negligent healthcare providers accountable. Their responsibilities include:

Evaluating your case: Reviewing medical records and consulting with experts to determine if you have a viable claim based on the standard of care and harm suffered.
Filing a lawsuit: Initiating legal action by filing a complaint against the responsible parties in the appropriate court.
Gathering evidence: Collecting medical records, expert testimonies, and other relevant evidence to build a strong case.
Negotiating with insurance companies: Working to secure a fair settlement that compensates you for your injuries without the need for a trial.
Litigating in court: Representing you during trial proceedings if a settlement cannot be reached, presenting evidence and arguing your case.
Calculating damages: Assessing the full extent of your losses, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
Handling expert testimony: Coordinating with medical experts who can testify on how the standard of care was breached and how it led to your injuries.

How Are Medical Malpractice Lawyers Paid?

Most medical malpractice lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if they recover compensation for you. Key aspects of this payment structure include:

Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer's fee is typically between 25% and 40% of the settlement or award.
No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.

Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.

Contingency fee: Lawyers typically charge between 25% and 40% of the total recovery amount.
Case expenses: Additional costs such as expert witness fees and court expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the case complexity.

Ensure you receive a clear explanation of all potential fees and expenses before proceeding with your case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Medical Malpractice Lawyer

To ensure you're hiring a reputable lawyer, take the following steps:

Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association for their license and any disciplinary actions.
Review their experience: Look for specialization in medical malpractice and a history of successful 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:

Medical records: All documents related to your treatment and injury.
Evidence of harm: Photos, medical bills, and records of lost wages.
Communication records: Any correspondence with healthcare providers or institutions.
List of healthcare providers: Names and contact information of all involved medical personnel.
Questions for the lawyer: A prepared list to address all your concerns.
Timeline of events: A detailed chronology of your medical care and the issues encountered.

Being well-prepared helps the lawyer assess your case accurately and advise you on the best course of action.
