My wife and I had great experience working with Sewnet Degu for the entire green card process. Everything was so well organized and he is so knowledgeable and professional that we felt secure and confident from the first to the last step. We got to work with him and were amazed by his professional attitude, responsiveness, support, empathy and more than anything, the level of knowledge about the immigration law. Thank you again!

My niece and I choosing the law offices of Sewnet to represent my niece was the best decision that we could have taken. Sewnet is a warm and nice person . He is highly talented and very good lawyer. We are truly grateful for his hard work and guidance . He is also well-versed in U.S Immigration policy, and keeps up with the latest trends in immigration law. From my first conversion with him, I immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment and moreover the passion he has for his work. God sends angels in different forms for my family. and attorney Sewnet is one of them. He is an awesome person who is always willing to go extra mile, he is always supportive, caring and understanding. He is an excellent lawyer, very professional and knowledgeable. He always return my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern, even when I had to talk to him during his days off. It is so nice to be able to express your concerns to an attorney and have things explained to you without being rushed or bombarded with terms you don’t understand. My family is very pleased with Sewnet. I highly recommended the law offices of Sewnet for all immigration issues. SEWNET IS SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!

GARO IS AWESOME. Extremely professional and helpful. Always made sure I understood the status of my cases and what the next steps were. Really felt like I was given undivided attention. He made a tedious and confusing process manageable. Originally I was worried that living out of state would cause problems, Garo and team was able to accommodate and make sure everything went seamlessly. I highly recommend!!! USE THEM!

Garo is an outstanding attorney! He gifted me with the ability to make a difficult situation a little easier and less stressful. His compassion, expertise and guidance where spot on and priceless!

Neifert Law Group is outstanding. Mary is the brightest and most organized attorney I have ever come across. She has the perfect combination of friendliness and assertiveness that has helped us in solving multiple complicated matters. Mary has helped us with complicated cases including: commercial real estate (lease negotiations), employee issues, issues related to multiple medical practices, contract disputes, equipment lease issues, and miscellaneous medical issues. One of Mary's many talents is to learn about a situation very quickly and come back with priceless advice. She is a star. I've recommended her to at least a dozen people in the past year. Of those that have taken my recommendation, they can't thank me enough. I personally can't thank her enough.

30 Sep, 2013 by Anonymous

Mary Neifert was recommended by a friend to help in our challenging case involving a medical practice issue. She was a Godsend to us and was able to help us through our case and get exactly what we wanted. She has the ability to communicate well, get along with and work well with different lawyers even when they are on the other side. This is key---she is extremely knowledgeable as well and was able to stay on top of various different issues (ie real estate law, business transactions, etc) . I constantly refer her name to any one that requires any legal advice. Above all, she is ethical. Simply amazing. Thank you again.

15 Jul, 2010 by Todd

Mary and her firm represented me in a case against a large bank. She was very candid throughout, explaining how the process would likely flow, potential outcomes, and costs. There was no overselling and it was not about maximizing fees for the firm; it was truly about doing what would be the most beneficial for the client (me) within my means. She did a tremendous job in serving my best interests, and in the end, achieved the outcome I had hoped to attain from the beginning within the initial range of potential legal fees. I would highly recommend her and her firm, and would use her services again if required.

I cannot express the happiness and gratitude I feel after working with Richard for the last 2 years. he stood by my side from the beginning to the end. He was available to answer any and all questions regardless of the date and time. He worked countless hours to make sure I was taken care of and my needs were met. He went above and beyond what I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend him. He is passionate about what he does which is why he is so successful. I cannot thank him enough for what he has done for me and my family and the burden he has lifted from my shoulders. This man is heaven sent!

Richard Stout came highly recommended as a personal injury attorney and he delivered. Mr. Stout represented us successfully against a major US air line . During this time he was attentive and available when I reached out to him-an experience I had not shared with other attorneys.

Stefanos helped me with great honesty and kindness. He told me right away that it wouldn't be in my best interest for him take my case because it was not in his main field of expertise, but he still took the time to research information to help me, and patiently answered my questions before referring me to an attorney who handled cases like mine. I wish all lawyers were as patient and caring as he is. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be the first person I call.

When I first consulted with Max Arnold and his staff I knew he was the attorney I wanted to represent me. He is straight with his answers and tells you what he can and can't do, I never had a problem communicating with his office and i didn't have to do anything. They took care of everything from the beginning. They settled my case and everything was smooth. I highly recommend Mr. Arnold.

28 Apr, 2011 by Jana

I was greeted warmly by everyone initially. I had answers to my questions in a timely manner. I feel like my settlement could have been more, but that is not a reflection on Max. I will use his office if I'm injured in the future and recommend him to my friends and family members. I am very satisfied and I am happy that this office took care of my worries whenever I called and took care of dealing with everything so I didn't have to.

Based on his staff alone, I would definitely use Mr. Arnold for all my personal injury needs. Here's hoping I won't need him any time soon...

I decided to contact David, a very experienced person in the immigration field who is professional and also a professional looking into your case When he researches your case, he looks at it and states your truth and frankly, in a beautiful and positive manner

10 Jan, 2019 by Samir

I was in a car accident that was not my fault and hurt my neck and back. I called a few places to see if I could get a consultation but they seemed not interested when I told them about the property damage estimates. I found David in a magazine advertisement and called his office, and actually got to talk with him and he said he would take my case and that property damage does not always equal bodily injury. He handled everything with the insurance and sent me to a chiropractor to get treatment which really helped with the pain. For my settlement he got all my medical bills paid, my car fixed, and some extra for future medical expenses that was more than I expected. I definitely would go back to David if I got in another accident but hopefully I’ll never need his services again.

He offers great advice and direction and builds a strong rapport very quickly, making it easy for you to ask questions and share ideas to ensure you are staying on track. He goes above and beyond in making sure you feel comfortable and confident about your claim. Definitely reach out to him if you need a lawyer who cares to make things right for you!

He was very easy to reach and keep in contact with. I am so beyond thankful and happy with the results of my case and how hard Gabriel worked for me. I highly recommend Gabriel to anyone who needs a great attorney!

12 Sep, 2015 by Andrew

Gabe represented me with a firm regarding an accident I was in April of 2013. When Gabe left the firm, they continued to pass me around from attorney to attorney, never treating my case with any respect. Eventually, after 18 months, they decided that my case wasn't worth their time and dropped me as q client, not before slapping a lien on my case. I took my case to Gabe and asked him to hell since he was the original attorney on the case and I'm glad I did. From the very first minute he represented me, he acted as if we we best friends and was always trying to help me get the best outcome. The original firm on the case received a settlement offer of $24,000+ and suggested that I take it, even though it was far below expectations. Gabe was able to negotiate it settlement up to $50,000 and he even paid a portion of the original firm's lien out of his percentage so that I would get an amount that he felt was fair, which after everything had been paid was over $31,000. From here on out, I will be having Gabe represent me on any legal matter I need representation on and I would strongly recommend him to anybody needing representation. He will go above and beyond the regular call of duty to get the best result possible for you.

Brett Peterson represented me when I was struck by a vehicle while crossing the street. When we first met, I was impressed by his knowledge and experience with cases of my type, and even more impressed by the fact that he clearly listened to and understood my concerns and what I desired in terms of outcome. Throughout the course of his representation, Brett clearly communicated where things stood, and what the options were. My instinct on meeting him was that he was an honest and professional attorney that I could trust. That has certainly been the case, and I would recommend him to anyone seeking representation for a personal injury case.

01 Jul, 2018 by Jon

I never needed a lawyer until I was rear ended and it was so clear cut who was at fault I thought I was able to handle it myself but after about a year I decided it was too much stress work and hassle so I shopped around and I was looking for the lowest price attorney which I think was Brett and I'm glad I found him so down to earth humble and a great office environment because it's just basically him and the secretary you will deal with which is very comforting well he handled everything made all the Timely calls and appointments even offering us rides when we needed it. He's such a nice guy but knows the law even the other side likes him. Lots of experience I would use him again and recommend him highly. He's the type of lawyer that you would want to be friends with afterwards. We ended up settling in mediation so I didn't get a chance to see him go to trial which would be a good idea to do if you can before you hire him. Has a very nice office location that's very reassuring and in a nice location. Be sure to go to Pho Xpress right around the corner for a good meal at a reasonable price. So if you ever need a lawyer don't handle it yourself it's a waste of time and one more thing about Brett is you get the feeling he is not a crooked lawyer which is a plus when you are in the right! And the top it all off and I'm not implying it may happen to you but maybe because I was such a good client and we did a lot of the paperwork to a degree he even gave me a percentage of his settlement probably because of the pain and suffering I had to go through and how tight the other side was which was Allstate Insurance. Another reason I was blessed to find him by happenstance was because I was looking for a lawyer who was near me and he was also he always return phone calls right away and emails and he communicated very thoroughly and patiently from the beginning to the end not like some lawyers who are so friendly in the beginning to get you to sign with them but then afterwards they are more colder but not Brett he was very professional and kind to the end. San Diego is blessed to have him living here helping us get a fair trial, Justice and compensation for our pain and suffering. And if I was to share some advice I would say don't use your own credit cards on different doctors like I did searching all over for a cure because the other side will not settle soon enough and you have so many fees and interest that my credit is ruined. I I would recommend just send one group of doctors and just have one bill and that based on contingency of a settlement that would have resulted in so much less stress and problems in my life. There is a really nice place in Hillcrest call fix body group and they handle everything there I went there and should have stayed there to my healing was complete which it never was but then again I had to do a bunch of injections and Kaiser really did me right but they couldn't feel the pain short of major surgery to replace my neck bones with screws and pieces of metal. But now I heard they have new treatment where they will take a cadavers bone and if it's a match can fix your neck which I may still do in the future. Anyways don't drink and drive or get distracted by the radio your cell phone or any other sightseeing please just look ahead all the time and do not tailgate and be prepared for for a car to stop at anytime even on the freeway in the middle of the day in perfect weather. There's no need to speed or tailgate if you do you risk much pain and suffering for yourself or others and in the end it only saves you a few minutes better to be safe than sorry and an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. You will get there when you get there life is too short to have to go through it with pain for the rest of your life!

I have been working the phone the past few days in a attempt to get legal advise and hire a lawyer. The last several offices I called either did not answer their calls or had a receptionist take a message only to never hear from them again. The one or two who did answer my call either had no interest or did not practice in the area I required. Neither offered any advise or a referral. Then I got lucky and gave Brett Peterson a call. Brett did not practice in the area I needed however he spent the last 15 minutes, giving me referrals and advice on how to proceed forward. I appreciate and value Bretts honesty and advise. I will absolutely keep him in mind should I have a need in the future! Thank you Brett!

There is no other lawyer like Michael Oddenino. He is the absolute best. II owned property prior to my marriage and my ex husband came after me. It was emotional and very difficult. I had heard of Michael and when I met him, I was finally able to put my worries to rest. He is confident and really follows through with his word. Highly experienced and professional. Lise is not in Michaels vocabulary. Divorce is never a win but peace of mind is what you get when you work with Michael. Even after the divorce was final, Michael was always available to answer questions via email or a call. He is always there. His team are the best and there is no other family law firm better than Michael and his team. I used to work with attorneys. I know what is out there. I would give him 1000 stars if I could for what he did for me and his team.

Seth did a great job on my case which was a personal injury case involving a major U.S. company. He was very adept at dealing with the varying bureaucracies and managed to exceed the settlement amount I thought was possible. He also is very knowledgeable about the healthcare industry and ensured that the settlement was fair for all parties involved while securing the best financial outcome for me. I hope I don't need his services again but if I do I'll be relieved to know he's defending me and confident in a positive outcome.

We have relied on Mr. Sunseri for many years. From initial incorporation as an LLC , to lease negotiations, to Coastal Commision land use issues, through tenant default and more. Steve is knowledgable, thinks stratigically, and is most responsive with a genuine interest in our business. He listens carefully and considers our concerns before recommending action. When considering litigation, Steve provided a realistic budget. He is a valuable asset to our business.

Mr. Sunseri has been a great go-to resource in assisting with several business matters from lease negotiation, disputes with landlords, buyer/seller rights and responsibilities, on and on.

Richard is a competent, professional, and caring attorney. He was always very patient and thoroughly explained anytime there was an update or we had a question. Always looked out for our best interest.

I was referred to Richard Prager by another attorney who spoke very highly of him. Although Richard was not able to take my case, he spent quality time referring me to other attorneys within his network and helped me find an attorney who could assist me. I was amazed by his generosity and how much he cared for someone who he was not being paid to assist. I have no doubt that he takes very good care of his clients. I highly recommend him.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to Mr. Richard Prager. Richard was outstanding in handling our car accident and injury case. We were recommended to him by a friend of ours and both my wife and I were taken care of from the start. He kept us informed on every aspect of our case, always asking what we wanted to do. Richard was very efficient and responsive to every question we had. He was also, easy to contact. He alway returned our calls. I've never wrote a review before, but I would recommend Richard and the Law Offices of Charles Roseman to everyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

Our son had a felony conviction for DUIs in 2012 in Woodland and we live near San Diego. In 2019 we were helping our son find an attorney to help in expunging his conviction and didn’t know which attorney to select. We used AVVO and found the law office of Steven Sabbadini, along with other attorneys we interviewed, and hired him to represent our son. Mr Sabbadini is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and easy to speak with. He knew exactly what he needed to do to effectively and efficiently handle the case and our son’s felony was expunged within a couple of months. We highly recommend Mr. Sabbadini without reservation.

My brother was facing serious criminal charges and needed the best criminal attorney. After asking several people in the Woodlands, CA area who was the best attorney, all said Steve Sabbadini. He took a horrible and very emotionally stressful ordeal for me and my family and got my brother the best possible outcome in this situation. We are “FOREVER GRATFUL” to Mr. Sabbadini and his staff because my brother is a free man today. Mr. Sabbadini and his staff come highly recommended. Hands down he is THE VERY BEST.

I was accused of a sex crime by my now ex-wife, Mr. Sabbadini & Mr.Lansburgh got the DA to decline to prosecute before any charges were ever filed. Now I'm going to them to get a prior conviction reduced.

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.

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.
