I was referred to Erick by a family member when I was in need of a personal injury lawyer. I’ve never needed a lawyer before and for the first time getting one. I felt like I was in good hands from the begging to the end. Highly recommend Erick to represent you if it is possible.

Eric was excellent in representing my family. From day one he was always on top of everything and never failed to explain to us every step and updates throughout our case. Eric goes above and beyond to make sure we understand every litigation part of our case and was never late returning our phone calls. Highly recommend his professionalism.

Representation from David and the Pyramid Legal team was next level professionalism. The speed and stellar resolution along with the timely and compassionate communication was exceptional. Given my previous experience with a personal injury law firm 10 years ago, I was very jaded about representation. Thanks to David, I now have someone I can 10,000% recommend should a friend or family member experience a legal matter of this sort. I’m deeply grateful for his hard work on my behalf.

I had a very, very tricky Personal Injury ("slip and fall") case that my own attorney eventually rejected. It's got a lot of risk, it involves attorney-expense, time, etc. It's against a Major Bank who vigorously defends such claims, etc. For so many reasons it's WRONG for the top attorneys in this field.
Many or most who either hung-up on me or didn't call back, write back, acknowledge receipt of previous attorney's Demand Letter, etc. Even my own attorney was very lukewarm and unable to give this much time. I understood and understand it all. The fact that an attorney showed interest at all buoyed my surgery and necessary physical rehab, which took a good six months just to again walk. So either way I won, either way this turned out well because I'm walking again, in the gym, exercising, etc.
Attorney Katz was just awesome in that he spent some time on the phone (despite being busy and involved in at LEAST one other trial). Returned all calls. If he said and says he'll call he does and did. I was just amazed at the Class-Level given the fact this Slip-and-Fall case is not an attractive proposition. I knew when my first attorney said he's bailing that it was a one-shot thing, a Demand Letter then everyone go home. People have to make a living, pay the rent, it has to make sense for these top guys.
From what I understand, Attorney Katz is about as "Tops" as it gets. My first attorney was SURPRISED
to hear Attorney Katz expressed ANY interest. (thought maybe I misunderstood or had wax in my ears).
He said REALLY, Richard M. KATZ returned a call on this - wow - did Attorney Katz SEE the Demand Letter?! Which just shows how other attorneys in this field regard Attorney Katz - as the top of the top.
I'm writing this because I just got off the phone with Attorney Katz.
He AGAIN called back (each time I'm shocked), this is THIRD time even though he senses/knows there's nothing very strong - or unusual - or favorable about my position.
Which is okay, as written I recovered, I'm well, I'm exercising again - as written the THOUGHT there might be compensation for a difficult year BUOYED my rehab, at least gave me some hope.
So Attorney Katz, just wanted to come here, reflect on what a class guy you are - and how anyone needing a top Los Angeles-Pasadena-Glendale-based attorney should first consult you.
I'm really in awe in light of the response from the others - and my respect for you knows no bounds.
Thanks very much again for your time and attention:

I recently got into a car accidnet and needed advixe on my cas. Not only was Mr. Katz very informative but also went above and beyond what i was expecting. Even though it was just a consultation he told me to give him another call if i needed any more advice even though im sure he didn't have to do that.Overall it seems he's very responsible, honest and extremely helpful

Sondra counseled me though a horrible time when an attorney unethically withdrew from me in the 11th hour of my case. She was compassionate and generous beyond measure. She had come highly recommended by an attorney at Shernoff Bidart Echeverria LLP--her stated excellence boded true. I highly recommend this lovely woman.

They genuinely cared about my case, and thanks to their hard work and dedication, we won and I received a great settlement. If you're looking for a team that's professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your case, this is the place to go!

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

Let's just stick to the facts shall we? I was the plaintiff in a contingent medmal case, 1) He didn't file special interrogatories and was sanctioned by the court. 2) Prepped his client for a deposition, that never took place, after 1.5 years. 3) He didn't confer with his client to let him know he would not be opposing the defense's MSJ, which he didn't and was a complete no show at the MSJ hearing, again, did not inform client or court that he was going to abandon the case. 4) Lost my case, because of no opposition, no evidence offered. IMO this lawyer did not represent his client to the best of his abilities. 5) Refuses to return phone calls and stick to phone call appointments. 6) No communication for months, especially the last 2+ months of the case when 0 phone conversations were held. Client had to find out about the case by reading about it in the court's docket. 7) He enjoys belittling and condescending his client and gives the impression that you are wasting his time by wanting to talk about your case. 8) Reminds you multiple times that your case doesn't bring in a great deal of money (medmal cap in California) and isn't something he normally does, making you feel insignificant. 9) After a month, still refuses to forward the case file to myself. 10) For a different case in his past, he was sued for malpractice and settled out of court. (lawyer's name, amount and case # withheld for privacy) I wish I would've known what type of lawyer he really is. I have to live with his neglect, malpractice and lack of representation for the rest of my life.

I had a consult with Mr. Ciccarelli and it could not have been better. His ability to explain, in detail, is outstanding. He was very inquisitive and truly cared about my needs as well as explaining law and scenarios. We spoke for over 45 minutes by phone. Many lawyers were sent the same message from me about my families issue and Mr. Ciccarelli responded immediately. Thank you sir!

I usually do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience for anyone facing the stress of serious legal threats—call attorney Donald Matson! He took the time to listen, thoroughly analyze the situation, and explain potential scenarios and outcomes with exceptional expertise, clarity, patience, and empathy. He even responded promptly to my text at Friday evening family dinner time! He restored my faith in humanity!

I called Michele out of the blue and she was able to take swift action. My situation was stressful to say the least, and after talking it over with her, she put my mind at rest. After being thoroughly detailed on the process and her plan of action, she went to work. She completed my case and was able to get it thrown out of court entirely. I couldn't be more grateful and I can now move forward without any worries. I will certainly call upon Michele Ferroni again if the need ever arises.

Disappointed and Concerned - Caution to Potential Clients
I had a consultation with Patrick Baghdaserians in 2017 regarding a sensitive legal matter. During this consultation, I shared confidential details about my case, including personal and financial information. While I ultimately decided not to hire him due to discomfort I felt during the meeting, I was later shocked to find that he now represents the opposing party in the same matter. This raises serious ethical concerns for me.
I believe it is critical for potential clients to know that information shared during consultations may later be used in ways that feel conflicting. I have evidence of my consultation, and I am deeply disappointed by what I perceive as a disregard for professional ethics and confidentiality.
If you are considering working with this firm, please be cautious and ensure that you are comfortable and fully informed. My experience has been disheartening, and I feel obligated to share this to help others make informed decisions.

I had an exceptional experience working with Baghdaserians Law Group on my child custody case. From start to finish, the entire team showed professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation.
Tarek Kholaki was the attorney, and I cannot say enough about his dedication. He remembered every aspect of my case and meticulously prepared all of my declarations, ensuring they were accurate, detailed, and effectively represented my position. His attention to detail and clear communication made the process smooth and stress-free.
For my hearings, Daniel Leonetti represented me in court. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to advocate for me both in and out of the courtroom were outstanding. I felt confident knowing I had such skilled representation.
One thing I appreciated most was how seamless the communication and collaboration were between Tarek and Daniel. Together, they ensured that no detail was overlooked and that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
Patrick Baghdaserian also played a vital role behind the scenes, providing invaluable support to the team as a whole. His contributions ensured that everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the entire team worked together efficiently and effectively.
I also want to commend the office staff, who were always warm, welcoming, and highly organized. They made a potentially stressful situation much easier by ensuring that all paperwork was handled correctly and on time. I never had to worry about administrative details, which allowed me to focus on my case with peace of mind.
There were no drawbacks to my experience. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my child.
I wholeheartedly recommend Tarek Kholaki, Daniel Leonetti, Patrick Baghdaserian, and the entire Baghdaserians Law Group team. Their professionalism, teamwork, and genuine commitment to their clients set them apart. If you’re facing a child custody case, you’ll be in excellent hands with this group.

My case went to trial recently and I am beyond happy with the results. Patrick and Sam represented me in a jury trial and I was ruled in favor for over 10 million dollars. After I was in a motorcycle vs. car crash I didn’t know what to do. I felt like I was lost and I was doing everything I could on my own to no avail. But ever since DAA law started helping me through this situation, I have felt an incredible weight lifted off of my shoulders.. and my families shoulders. The work they do at DAA is nothing short of amazing. I would suggest them to ANYONE who's gone through a motor vehicle incident and has had some sort of personal injury. Please do yourself the favor and call DAA law if you think you need the help. It’s a phone call you won’t regret!

Martha Avila has been my attorney for a long and strenuous 5 year custody battle. She’s always had great communication with me, showed up to every court date on time, and her front desk clerk Hilda is also so wonderful, I’ve never been left hanging since becoming a client of hers. You hope to never need an attorney facing a custody battle or separation but rest assured, she’ll be very straightforward with you about all the legal proceedings, even though they can feel extremely stressful. It was always a comfort having her in my corner. The one star review on her profile is not her client. B. Armenta is a disgruntled opposing party (my ex). I hope no one is deterred by that false review. Martha has been such a great help to me these past 5 years and always made sure Me and my son we were always well-represented in court. She’s professional and respected. Every judge we ever had in the Downtown Los Angeles superior court always addressed her with high esteem.

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.
How Much Does a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a medical malpractice lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee model. General estimates include:
- 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.
Top Questions to Ask a Medical Malpractice Lawyer
Before hiring a medical malpractice lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with medical malpractice cases like mine?
Confirm the lawyer has a successful track record with similar cases. -
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. -
Have you worked with expert witnesses?
Verify the lawyer's experience in collaborating with medical experts essential for 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.
