Noemi Esparza and Roger Dryer represented my son and I after a terrible car accident. I had a very long recovery and Noemi was very reassuring during the process that they would take good care of us. She was extremely thorough in knowing and learning the facts of the case. She was available to me when ever I had questions or concerns. I was allowed to be a part of the process which was so helpful to me. My case went to jury trial and this was where I saw more of Noemi's strengths and skills unfold in a court room. She was confident and professional and was very comfortable in front of a jury. The judge in my case announced to the jury in Napa County when the trial was over that they had sat through some of the best lawyering they would ever see. I had many witnesses testify and Noemi was amazing at direct and cross examination. She was always prepared and even one step ahead of the defense. Her closing argument for my son was equally impressive. We spent a lot of time together in my nearly month long trial. Noemi was compassionate and got to know my family on a personal level. We still keep in touch. I highly recommend Noemi Esparza if your looking for an attorney you can trust, is confident and capable, who actually cares about their client and can get you the best possible outcome for your case. She is a top attorney!

Noemi Esparza was one of the two primary attorneys whom I hired to represent me following devastating injuries I suffered as the result of a car accident. The case lasted more than three years, and I benefited from Noemi’s genuine compassion and legal professionalism throughout. Noemi collected and preserved evidence which would prove central to the arbitration process, was involved in some of the arguments and questioning involved in the arbitration process, and was the primary attorney involved in handling negotiations with numerous insurance companies. Noemi was particularly impressive with regards to her negotiations with the insurance companies. Not only were her results impressive, but she expended approximately 6 months’ worth of negotiating effort on my behalf AFTER she and the firm she worked for received all of their compensation. She was literally negotiating for NOTHING other than my personal benefit, and she delivered. I hope I NEVER have to go through something like this again, but I am very grateful to Noemi for all of the efforts which she expended on my behalf for 3-plus years.

Ms. Esparza took my case even though it was a small case. Knowing she was on my side allowed me to heal and recover from my car accident without having to worry about fighting with the other party's insurance company. Communication was a bit spotty due to her schedule but she came through for me Highly recommendable.

I initially applied for Social Security Disability benefits and my claim was denied. I referred my case to David Allen to file an appeal and handle my case. They promptly prepared and filed the appeal, I was advised that should the matter require a formal hearing, the process could take upwards of 18 months. After only a few months, we were advised by the Social Security Administration, that upon review of the documents submitted with the appeal, they reconsidered and awarded me the benefits I was due, including retro active payment from the date of occurrence. I was impressed with both the short time it took to resolve the matter, as well as the little effort required on my part, past the initial interview/consultation. They were very professional throughout the process. For these reasons I would highly recommend them for people who could benefit from their services. Ron

I was awarded my SSI in a very short time and was able to get my life back. With being disabled and unable to work he made it possible for me to support myself. I recommend David Allen to everyone.

This was surprisingly a very pleasant experience for my husband and I. We met with several lawyers who did not want to take our medical malpractice case due to the potential settlement not being worth the time. When we met with Steve we had everything laid out and he agreed to take our case on the spot. His staff was on top of everything and we were eventually able to reach a fair settlement. It was refreshing to know that there are lawyers out there who don't only take cases with big payouts. We will forever be great full for everything this office and Mr. Hillyard have done.

CALL For Attorney Elan at The Ledger Law Firm. I am not a review kind of guy but I am taking my time to write this review because my experience with Elan has been superb. Since he took my case, he has been there for me all the time. First, he explained the whole procedure step by step because this is my first accident involving a lawyer. Second, he called to check up on my doctor's visits. Third, he was very responsive on any of my dumb questions. Lastly, I was able to experience a great financial settlement, they had my insurance company issue a check for the high blue book value on my car plus reimburse me for the accessories that I purchased on my car including tires, floor mats, prorated tags, etc.,. This is what you call full service, we are now waiting on the medical and loss of income settlement check next week which amount had exceeded our expectations. I definitely recommend Elan for any of your personal injury or accident issues you may of encountered.

Mr. Glickman is a professional, he practices ethics violations in CA; he acted super invested in me, the client, even over himself, and honed in on case law that was imperative to my case. He was honest about the difficulties of my case due to a complexity issue unique of my case and didn’t try to bluff or gauge me for $ even though many another lawyers wouldn’t have been Ehtical like he is. A+ and I highly recommend his as competent and helpful. I have tried to call numerous lawyers that rudely don’t call back even after I take the time to call.

We (my son & I) can’t express the gratitude We have towards Jonathan in words (but, I’ll try)... He is kind and understanding. Goes above and beyond for his clients. Always there to take your call and address any and all concerns. Completely professional and ethical. I’ve had bad experiences with sleazy attorneys that do a 180 on you after your first encounter with them. Attorneys that don’t return your calls, inform you on your case, miss meetings. But, Jonathan is nothing like that, He takes the time to make you feel at ease, explain every step of the way, keeps you in the loop (even with the minor of things) which we appreciated so much! He’s knowledgeable, and looks out for the best interest of his clients. With optimal results and a good recovery. But, most importantly TRUSTWORTHY! Which unfortunately it’s not easy to say about many attorneys. With him... it’s one of the keywords! And we’re so grateful & thankful. So, I personally would recommend him for your civil and litigation needs, and if We (my son & I) or myself ever find the need for an attorney in the future, I would definitely hire Jonathan, again!

Michael Molland represented me in preparation for trial in a consumer law case opposing a large corporation. He inherited a complicated case and was quick to understand the intricacies involved. From the beginning, he was able to accurately pinpoint areas of strength and weakness in my case. He intelligently used this to define multiple legal strategies and as a result opposing counsel had to rethink their success at trial. In preparation for trial, the combination of his knowledge, extensive legal background, and skill as a litigator was clearly evident. At all times I felt a confidence in his legal representation. He is an excellent attorney who I would highly recommend to clients with cases both small and large.

Michael Molland has represented Citizens Advocating for Roblar Rural Quality (CARRQ) for several years in our fight to prevent the development of a gravel mine in rural west Petaluma. As an all-volunteer neighborhood group, CARRQ took on the uphill battle against the project developer and the County of Sonoma to stop the project, but it was not until Michael stepped in to help us that we were able to achieve any success at all. Michael took our case because he believed in our cause and wanted to help us make a difference in our community. He helped us craft strategies to oppose the project and guided us through years of legal actions. He (and his team) devoted hundreds of hours to our case and skillfully and tenaciously represented us before public agencies and in court. Of most importance to me though, has been Michael’s integrity; his ability to listen and put clients at ease, and his passion for doing what is right. I will be forever grateful to him for his counsel and I highly recommend him.

If you are looking for an attorney, I HIGHLY recommend Tony Stuart. I cannot say enough good things about Tony Stuart and his work and knowledge of the law. I hired Mr. Stuart a few years ago to take on a large insurance company that I wanted to sue for fraud, misrepresention, et cetera. Tony took on my case and I was so impressed with his work, his diligence, and the way he worked with me and explained things to me. He found out amazing things in his investigations and worked hard for me. We settled out of court and Tony got me $1.7 million! If you want a good, competent, no-nonsense, no BS attorney, I suggest you call Mr Stuart, and I say this not only as his client, but as a court reporter. I have been a deposition/court reporter in this town for over 20 years and I can say without hesitation that Mr. Stuart is one of the better attorneys I have seen get the job done. If I ever need an attorney again, I would most definitely call him again.

In the six year battle with my health insurance company over unpaid claims, I had no better ally than Tony Stuart. Through hours and hours of depositions, fruitless mediations all the way through to the final settlement negotiation, Tony stayed positive and encouraging, even when I wanted to give up. Without his hard work, attention to detail, and years of experience fighting these same cases, we would not have been able to come to an agreement that worked for both parties. I can't thank him enough for being in my corner in a fight that was almost nearly as tough as beating cancer.

Mr.Ananian was highly recommended to me by a couple of friends who both have used him as their representation in the past. Unfortunately, this was not my first accident. And unfortunately, Mr.Ananian wasn't my representation for my first accident. As a lawyer he has a few extremely rare characteristics I wish not only more lawyers would possess, but also just more everyday people. When you meet Mr. Ananian for the first time you can tell he's genuinely a good person! For about 8 years my job included interviewing and screening strangers to conclude whether they were "good" people - Trust me, when I tell you he's genuinely good and kind, he really is. With him, I never had the feeling that I was a money-making-machine, but rather that I was a person who had the misfortune of going through a horrible experience due to the accident. He is the only lawyer that took his time with me. Not only did he answer all of my questions into detail, every single time, but he was just as attentive to my husband. So many times I called his office, and to my surprise when he was at the office, he would take my calls. The fact that my lawyer would take my calls immediately or get back to me in a timely manner was just shocking... in a very pleasant way. That was a very new experience for me and certainly unique to Ananian Law Group. I know I won't receive this kind of care at any other law firm - Sadly so. Mr.Ananian monitors your case very closely. No matter at which stage my case was, he was always on top of it. He kept me updated on the progress of my case - something I had to run after in the past with other lawyers. Mr. Ananian and Ananian Law Group is extremely well organized and punctual, unfortunately both features are not that common in law firms. Lawyers I have dealt with in the past, with the exception of Mr.Ananian, have usually this flair of slight arrogance. I'm not sure if that's strategy, but I just prefer down-to-earth people. With that said, I don't appreciate it when businesses book appointments only to have you arrive and make you wait half an hour in the lobby. Punctuality is my pet peeve and that is just a disrespectful and unprofessional way of doing business. Thankfully, my experiences with Ananian Law Group and Mr.Ananian himself was always with utmost respect to my time. As you can tell, I really had a great experience with Ananian Law Group and Mr.Ananian himself. I do recommend him highly! You owe it to yourself to book a consultation with him, just so you can affirm my review. I really hope I won't ever need a Personal Injury lawyer, but it's safe to say not only would I hire him again, but I'd recommend him to all my family and friends, as well.

He's, no doubt, one of the best Civil Rights and Disability Rights attorneys in the state of California, if not the nation. Of the thousands of professionals I've met in a handful of careers that I've had, my only wish is that they all would have had his competence, his skill level, and his positive moral compass.

I was about to be foreclosed on and didn't have a clue who to use. Now someone mentioned another lawyer but when I went on line I saw all the same name so I didn't know which one they were talkig about. So I basically picked on. I was blessed that I ended up picking a good one. I only had about 5 days or even less before the sale date and when i got the call back, they gave me all my options, they were very honest and that let me know what decision i had to make. i decided to file the bankruptcy and they got the paperwork done and sent out and that stopped the sale. To work that fast and hard was a blessing. All of his associates are great. They email you back and call back right away. If you need a good lawyer call Soctt Hannsler's office.

I used the Hanssler Law Group for a Bankruptcy. Scott and his team are extremely knowledgeable, personable and very efficient. They were very effective in handling a complicated BK and giving me the confidence and insight to get through this stressful transition, preparing me all the way. I'd recommed him to my closest family and friends.

I am writing this review in lieu of my positive experience in retaining Attorney Phillip B. Rose. I have a most recent Unlawful Detainer Case as a Home Owner that was scheduled for Trial. I made all efforts necessary in searching for an eviction attorney who could take on my case. Among the long list of attorneys and after so many phone calls I found Atty. Phillip Rose through his interaction on legal issues panel on AVVO. I checked his company website to find out more information on what he can do for his clients. His LinkedIn profile also exhibits outstanding Curriculum Vitae and therefore I have every confidence in hiring him as my attorney. He has proven expertise in eviction defense and has gained successful Trials in a variety of high-profile cases. Unlike many other attorney offices where it is hard to get hold of the attorney himself, Mr. Phillip Rose was actually the one who answered my phone call on a late Friday afternoon. He took the time in listening as I explained my case in details. He is not like other attorneys who would immediately say “Sorry, I can’t help you”. In a world we live in where kindness, humility, and virtue are often taken for granted it is hard to find one like Atty. Phillip Rose who is willing to go an extra mile in helping out a client. As I journey through life’s challenges I have learned from this latin word SINE ARS SCIENTIA NIHIL EST meaning “Knowledge without humanism is nothing”. Atty. Phillip Rose has shown that he has a good heart and a compassionate nature for his client. Even when I told him that my finances are limited he showed eagerness to help without hesitation. Among numerous positive attributes of Atty. Phillip Rose he is also very comfortable to work with. He is confident, dependable, resourceful, and possess great professionalism in developing factual information and in presenting my case to Court. Besides providing expedite client service while having a sound judgment he always responds in a timely manner. Through Atty. Phillip Rose’s successful negotiation with the Plaintiff my case did not have to go to Trial and thereby giving me a more favorable outcome. He always looks out for his client’s best interest. I am pleased and very satisfied in retaining Atty. Phillip B. Rose and therefore I highly recommend him and his law firm PBR Legal.

Ryan, actually helped my wife and i with a car accident. It was fairly basic case, but where can you go to an Atty and get honest, fast, reliable help? Only at the Mccabe law firm. If you want an atty that knows what he is talking about, an atty that is upfront and is not mainly interested in how much he will be make right off the bat than call Ryan. Most atty wont even answer your calls unless you have given them money and than more money before you even know if you have a chance or not.

Oliver and Sherwin did an amazing job with my case! I was hit by a truck while on my bicycle, I was even in a bike lane in Santa Monica. After the driver admitted guilt on the spot, he then turned around to his insurance company after and denied everything! I would have gotten $0 if it wasn't for these guys working around the clock for me. Citywide Law Group got me the max settlement from his insurance company and on top of that they even compensated me for my bike! Oliver and Sherwin were always accessible to answer my call/emails, very professional, and got the job done. I highly recommend this law firm if you are in need of anything dealing with personal injury!

Working with Markus and his paralegal was as stress free as a personal injury suit against the federal government could be. He helped us put together a compelling case, gathered evidence with us, drafted the complaint and ultimately settled the case. During COVID we communicated very easily by phone and email. When we got to the final settlement negotiations, Markus was a strong advocate and really got us the best possible outcome. I recommend his office for anyone with a legitimate claim. He's a high class lawyer who advocates ethically and cares a lot about his clients.

His paralegal, Shawna, is extremely capable and is equally responsive to inquiries. I do not hesitate in recommending Markus.

He was quick to respond to phone calls and e-mails, highly personable, thorough and careful, and provided excellent information. I immediately hired him for a case and was very satisfied with the outcome. He was a strong advocate for me and my family, helped me navigate the legal process with ease, and addressed my needs and circumstances in a very collaborative way.

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.
