After a foot injury at a store, I visited the ER room and made the best decision to work with Attorney Vazken and his professional team. When he said his firm would cover all aspects of this case from A-Z, they meant it. Enduring personal injuries can require time-consuming doctor visits, inconvenient and unpleasant experiences. However, I am very grateful fro Attorney Vazken and his team for mitigating the stressful process and fighting for my case. I cannot recommend this law firm enough-- hire them!

I worked with Vazken Agemian when he handled my accident . Not only was he available and able to help immediately, he took my calls regardless of time of day. He is a very efficient, knowledgeable and compassionate individual providing me with updates and options regularly. I was very impressed by his professionalism and process. I will and have recommended him to friends and family, I'm glad I was able to work with him and would do so again if I need help in future.

Scott and his team came highly recommended from a friend of mine. He was absolutely fantastic! He made sure I had a good outcome, and fought for me till the end. He is always available, literally anytime I called he was there to take my call, he also reached out to me continuously and made sure I’m on board with every move he made. It really felt like we were a team and that he genuinely cares about his clients. The other lawyers at his company are also very on the ball, super nice, helpful and informative. I am very happy with my experience and I cannot recommend this law office enough!

His office was always prompt in response and were great at keeping us updated during the lengthy process. We were glad that we received a judgment in our favor without it going to trial and felt that he wanted to get us a maximum settlement which he did. I highly recommend him and his team. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Scott :)

Jerry literally helped us when we felt we had nowhere or no one to go to. My husband and I purchased a brand new 2021 Ford Explorer so I can drive around with our 5 boys. We only had about 1k miles and the car caught fire! I was 4 months pregnant at the time and scared to death. We attempted to go through Ford in hopes that we could get some resolution…all they did was pressure wash the engine and change the alternator. I was so afraid of driving my explorer that it just sat in the driveway catching dust. Jerry not only got Ford to pay off our vehicle and take it back, but we received compensation to purchase a new vehicle that we can drive around safely in with our 6 boys. Jerry was very professional, and made sure that we got the maximum which is what we deserved. He’s a no BS kind of guy and was straight up with us from the get go. Hopefully we never have to contact him again but if we do I know who to trust.

Our artist's cooperative was having difficulty working with our landlord. The landlord wouldn't work with us to improve several safety issues associated with the retail site. We hired Ms. Pheasant to give us legal advice on how we might proceed with severing our ties with the landlord. Her legal advice was concise and spot on. We followed her advice, drafted our letter, submitted it to our landlord and reached a resolution that was palatable to both parties. Ms. Pheasant saved us quite a large sum of money which, in turn, allowed us to look for a different retail space without the safety problems.

She not only put out a call to all her peers, but she looked up precedent info and reassured us about jurisdiction rules. Despite a full case load of paying clients, Joann was very responsive and helpful. And she didn't charge us for the advice she provided.

After searching and interviewing countless lawyers, I chose Tad to handle my case. He was genuine, sharp and attentive. Over the duration of the case he walked me step by step on everything I needed to do, what the process would look like, and even how the opposing lawyers were likely to respond. He was diligent in his work and thought 6 steps ahead at every point in the case. Anytime I had any questions, he answered them and simplified it really well so that I could comprehend what was happening. Because of him, my case is resolved and I could not be happier with the outcome. If you're reading this review right now, that means you're debating hiring him. It would be a huge mistake for you to go with any other lawyer. Words simply cannot express my gratitude for him. He truly takes pride in his work and wants the best for his clients!

I could make a guess at what his IQ is, but either way I am sure it is off the charts. Matthew might be one of the brilliant persons I have encountered in my lifetime-I feel like I found treasure in coming across his information. He is incredibly knowledgeable in his profession, but unlike some lawyers who are just book smart, he is someone who is friendly, personable, listens to you very well...and is an absolute total shark to boot. This is someone you want on your side; and boy, do I pity the person who is on the opposing side of him. He took time to listen to my situation in entirety (I called on a holiday that many local attorneys were unavailable on, nonetheless) and he provided me with sharp and insightful feedback. At the end of the call, you almost want him to keep talking, because you learn so much from his wealth of experience. I told him he should write a book! I would unreservedly use him for any future legal needs. I have worked with dozens of attorneys over the years in a career spanning finance and tech, and he is a gem who stands out amongst them all.

Mathew is an exceptional attorney: his attention to details when it comes to DUI case is beyond valuable. He helped me after being falsely excused of DUI. He reviewed my case from every single angle; he left no stone unturned. He proved the officer was dishonest for personal reasons. His sharp attention to details led to huge discovery and breakthrough in my case. His strategic planning is just amazing; simple, neat, and effective. Mathew has great people skills and he knows how to use them to help his clients. He takes every phone call and answers all the emails. He even pays attention to the health and well-being of his clients. He called me on a Sunday, just to recommend taking it easy and going to a spa to relax before the big day. My case resulted in a traffic fraction—after the DA was insisting on full charges and was threating me with serving time. The is no amount of money that can pay him justice. I will be forever grateful.

In March of 2008, my wife and I were involved in an auto accident. She was unhurt, but I sustained back injuries that required immediate and intense medical intervention and that will likely require periodic care for the rest of my life. A peer recommendation led us to Jeff Wolf. My wife and I were impressed from our first meeting. Jeff was very clear and detailed in his assessment of the case, how it would likely proceed, hurdles we might encounter along the way, and the "most likely" range of the settlement. He clearly knew his way around such cases and was well-qualified to represent us. But what else he brought to the table, and what was more important to us than legal know-how was his personal committment to us. He was genuinely concerned about the toll such an undertaking can have upon the participants. He was genuinely concerned about how we were, and not just about how the case was proceeding. My wife and I felt thast we were participating in the process, not just serving as spectators in the undertaking. In the end, the case was resolved before trial, and the result was almost exactly as Jeff had predicted. We are certain that this was because Jeff knew the law and the ins-and-outs of such cases, and becaus he appeared to have a cordial and winning personal manner with "the other side". No one should have to go throught this process. But if one must, to have a man like Jeff on your side makes the whole thing bearable, and ultimately worth the time and trouble. Should we ever again need such counsel, we would go to Jeff without a moment's hesitation. Jeff is a fine attorney, and a very decent and likeable person. We are proud to count him amongst our friends.

Approximately 2 years ago I was a passenger in my husband’s car when we were rear ended at a stop light. After the accident I had x-rays taken at a local hospital, had an MRI done, saw two doctors, went through physical therapy and paid all the bills associated with the physical damage done to my body after the accident. In order to obtain compensation for my expenses, because the person who hit us was underinsured, I made an appointment with Mr. Griff Tonkin. Griff and his staff walked me through a deposition, obtained a settlement reimbursing the hospital, doctors, the X-Ray company for the MRI, and my physical therapist with a professionalism I would expect from an attorney and his staff. His office kept me informed of the status of my claims via phone and email. Griff answered all my questions in terms a lay person could understand. I have referred friends and acquaintances to Mr. Tonkin and will continue to do so. L. Swanson; Redding, CA

In a day and age when qualified, ethical, experienced, fairly-priced, communicative attorneys are as rare as a Sumatran rhino, along comes Desmond Tuck. I have been working with Mr. Tuck for over 20 years on various issues, most notably matters involving real estate. Without delving into details, I can safely say that you will be unlikely to find anyone better if you tried. He knows the law, but he also knows how to make it work to your advantage. Most importantly, he will never tell you what you want to hear just so you hire him. If you want a lawyer to sugar-coat and tell you things to make you feel nice (when they are undeserved), he is not the one for you. If, on the other hand, you want to receive help that is based on reality and in the context of our disastrously dysfunctional California legal system, Mr. Tuck is the only one I would count on. Knowing how to navigate the system in a logical, rationale, and informed manner is one of his biggest (of many) strengths. As far as trust is concerned, I know that is a concern of many when it comes to lawyers in general. So, imagine a world where you were 100% sure your lawyer was expertly looking out for your best interest without doing it all just to keep the meter running. Sound too good to be true? You haven’t called Mr. Tuck yet. After all this time being his client, I trust him more than some in my own family. So, there you have it: trustworthy, ethical, experienced, extremely competent, informed, and fair in every way. He redeems all those “other” lawyers…you know who they are.

I was in an innuendo with my Home Purchase. We went through all the steps with due diligence since we have been on a contract. The Seller refused to sign on the day of the closing and went hiding. Not knowing what to do, I have been referred to Atty. Desmond Tuck. I will get to the point instead of adorning him with tons of adjectives, which he deserves by all means. Atty. Desmond was able to analyze and derive the possibilities within 30 minutes of the initial consultation. Without any delay he acted on my case putting a lis pendens on the property and getting ready to prepare the seller perform per the contract as per the law. i.e., Specific Performance through Arbitration. His letters to the opposite side was intransigent, coherent and extremely clear about what we are pursuing. He acted on the case promptly making the seller come out of the hideout and offering to pay damage for walking away from the deal. He negotiated on my behalf and obtained about 10% sales price of the purchase contract + all the out of pocket costs which included my escrow deposit, litigation costs, cost of inspection and appraisal. He made all that happen in a matter of 20 days. Here are few things that make him an outstanding lawyer. Plain fact and no gibberish. He does a due diligence in keeping you informed. I am an Engineer and so good with numbers. He derives possible outcomes of a litigation from his wealth of experience and intuition which tells me he has actually paid attention at his law school. He has the correct education and handles your case putting himself in your shoes. He possesses exemplary work ethics and he is an honest human being who would not just go by the texts. He will work with you and make a plan that is most appropriate for you. He will consider your limitation and take or advise steps that you would be comfortable with. He could have gone on with my case and make himself more money. But instead he advised me to full stop to it knowing my objective was not to deal with court but to find a suitable home. He worked towards helping my broker get his fees although he was under no obligation to put any effort there. In addition to that, he is a very approachable human being you would actually like to talk to and get to know as well. I could not be happier with his service. A top-notch lawyer and I would call him an Ideal Lawyer. Coming from a different country and culture, being with the top academic and professional peers in my life, it is definitely not difficult for me to attest to someone’s intelligence and quality. Atty. Desmond Tuck is a A+ scorer in my list. He will by far exceed your expectation of a lawyer. A friend in need indeed. I had worked with many lawyers in the past for corporate patents, my personal immigration as an Outstanding Researcher , company acquisition. I have met many top 10 school JDs and I must say, Atty. Desmond takes his cases personally and he is passionate about what he does. Unlike me, he does not talk more and waste time, he is to the point, eloquent and an action oriented person. You will not regret having him serve you. I can attest to that. Thanks to him for making my life easier.

A while back I was hit by a reckless driver on the freeway causing me to roll several times. The next day I had insurance companies calling me pressuring me into say how I felt. I didn't know what to say so I sought out representation. Over the course of my case, Mr. Maurer and his team handled everything from the smallest detail of the case to just "how are you today?" with the upmost care and attention. The entire process was stress free from the time they took over. I would receive updates consistently so I always knew the standings of the case. I hope I'm never in a situation where I need representation again but if I am he will be one of the first people I call.

Jordan expertly and successfully represented my 91 yr old father with a serious injury claim. He was compassionate and came to my father's home several times during the process. He was patient in explaining the legal aspects of the case. Jordan sent updates to me and my brother along the way and always kept us in the loop. Jordan has a good heart and demonstrated how much he cares for his clients. We can't thank Jordan enough for the time, effort and empathy he displayed towards my dad and resolving his case.

In late September 2023, I was rear-ended by an 18 wheel truck. Injured, and with extensive damage to my vehicle, along with injuries my passenger sustained.... After a careful search and consideration, Law Offices of Bruce Julian Kitchin and I agreed to take my case. Every step of the way, I was informed about the process and what certain notices and mailings meant. My rights are something I want PROTECTED, AT ALL TIMES. This firm achieved those goals. I am not at Liberty to discuss details of any settlement. I simply can't. I can refer anyone who needs an experienced attorney and firm to this office because personal injury claims can be very frustrating. I have learned a lot about insurance companies because of this. Both insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves! Mine and the others'. I was getting nowhere, frustrated, alone, my rights unprotected, I had no choice but to look for Counsel. Bruce Julian Kitchin and his team of attorneys defended me like I defend my children and family. I keep quiet on most things concerning law. You have got to let the process play out. Be very patient. Because when you think you are losing.... You actually might get or receive a favorable judgment. I recommend this firm to ANYONE. Thank You Law Offices of Bruce Julian Kitchin. God Bless

I had a life altering accident, I interviewed many attorneys and ended up with the firm of Kiesel law. The staff has been amazing, my trial ended in November of 2019 and they are still hard at work for me today, as a matter of fact I spoke to Bryan yesterday about aspects of my trial that I never thought would be a part of this process. Bryan told me after the trial had ended "I will be working on this until you are completely satisfied" I have to say, he has exceeded my expectations and is still working on the fine details of my case. I met Bryan first of the team and he was my point of contact leading up to the trial, I cannot thank Bryan enough for the countless hours working on my case, I know for a fact he had many nights away from his family, working on my case. Bryan, the whole end of the trial was kind of a blur to me, I'm not sure if I properly thanked you for everything you have done for me and my family. I'm sure the outcome of my trial wouldn't have been as favorable without you. This is me saying THANK YOU, you are an amazing attorney, with an amazing work ethic and I'm happy to say now that I've gotten to know you... an amazing father and family man too! all of my best, Mike

I want to thank with all my heart, Bryan Garcia and The Kiesel law firm...with special thanks to Bryan Garcia, Lance, Ashley, Ken and of course Paul Kiesel for doing an outstanding job for our family. Our family experienced a horrible tragedy that took the life of my mother. Bryan and his team became our hope for justice! They, as a team guided me through on what seemed to be an unbearable journey and made it comfortably manageable. Money does not bring back our loved ones and money does not fix what is broken but, it is a necessary tool and makes it easier when you’re struggling and stressed on a different level. Thank you Kiesel law firm for making mine and my family’s struggles easier! Amazing team!!!!

"Trying to find an employment lawyer while I was employed felt hopeless. And, coupled with wanting a lawyer who I felt would support me, work with me, and guide me felt like I was asking for the impossible. And, that is why I know how incredibly lucky I am to have found Irina Doliner! From the beginning, Irina really listened to me, sought to understand the complexities and nuances of my situation, acted as both an advocate and trusted advisor to me. Most importantly, Irina gave me the space to ask questions and the opportunity to raise concerns about potential issues. Throughout our time working together, Irina was the consummate professional as well as kind, understanding, thoughtful, and respectful. Honestly, working with Irina made a difficult situation exponentially better. And, I am truly grateful to have had Irina represent me."

I didn't want to hire an attorney, but my inner circle friends who knew my situation encouraged me to at least explore the possibility. A retired attorney recommended that I contact her firm, and I am extremely glad that I did. The compassion and wise counsel that she provided from our very first meeting inspired a quick decision to hire her. She knew exactly what to do and was patient as I conveyed my fears and concerns every step of the way, especially during unexpected obstacles. Attorney Irina Doliner Kelly implemented a strategy that led to the desired outcome, and she was genuine, candid and generous along the way. She is a true shining star. She is amazing, and I am grateful for her advocacy.

I received a referral to John Tower by a co-worker when I was in search of some legal advice. Seeking legal advice for anything (like going to the dentist) can be a bit unsettling, though my experience with John was actually quite refreshing - He was quick to return my call, expressed an equable & genuine demeanor, openly listened and took the time to offer his best recommendation, in addition to writing a letter on my behalf to the organization I was dealing with resulting in a positive outcome. I appreciate the extra efforts he displayed and would recommend him to all who seek guidance in his field.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You

A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.

Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.

When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:

  • Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
  • Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
  • Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
  • Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
  • Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
  • Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.

Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.

What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:

  • Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
  • Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
  • Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
  • File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
  • Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
  • Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
  • Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.

How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:

  • Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
  • Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
  • No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.

Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:

  • Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
  • Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.

While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.

Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer

Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:

  1. What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
    Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents.
  2. What is your fee structure?
    Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award.
  3. How long will my case take?
    While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled.
  4. How often do you take cases to trial?
    Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary.
  5. Will you personally handle my case?
    In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim.
  6. Do you have references from past clients?
    Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.

How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer

To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:

  • Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
  • Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
  • Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
  • Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:

  • Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
  • Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
  • Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
  • Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
  • Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
  • Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.

By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
