I have known Mrs. Kirk for 29 years having gone through law school with her. She is respected by the Court and has always worked tirelessly to aid her clients in the most appropriate case resolutions. On the cases I have been privy to, she has shown care for the well being of her client and their families and her dispositions, including alternative sentences, speak to her years of experience.

I highly recommend Cheryl for anyone seeking a top-notch prenuptial lawyer!

I recently had the opportunity to participate in my very first mock jury trial at the MLG Attorney's office in Costa Mesa. It was an incredible experience and truly an eye opener to our legal system. It's amazing how quickly I could shift my perspective upon deliberating with other jurors. The insights I gained are priceless and I am grateful to have been selected. Thank you for your professionalism and opportunity to collaborate with your staff. Should I ever need representation I will surely reach out to your team!

Worst lawyers ever. They let a whole year go by and never sent my husband to the doctors or anything. They had my email , his email, my number , his number , including our home address and we’d call for updates and they’d always say everything is going great if they needed anything they’d call us. After a year they dropped our case for “no communication”. And then told us they had the wrong number on file. Now we’re struggling to fight a car accident case because of how long it has been.

In October of 2023 I experienced a work injury and after two months of dealing with worker’s compensation and the company negligence. I decided to take legal action and mind you I didn’t have a clue about any law firms since this was my first case ever. I called other law firms that were not even interested in what was best for me and once I called Oracle Law firm right away I was attended and felt like my case and situation mattered. From there on I was appointed to Corina Estrada who the the case manager throughout the whole process she made me feel protected and very informative about everything that was going on with my case and guided me the right direction. If I wanted to know any updates she was just a call or email away and would always get back to me as soon as possible. When time came for my defamation she walked me through the process beforehand and was very accurate with the whole process. Overall, while this was a very stressful experience dealing with a company that handle my injury so unprofessional that’s where choosing oracle law firm helped me get the justice that was needed. Thank you Corina for everything and oracle law firm for getting me justice.

I had a great experience with Ash. From the beginning of the process to the end, Ash was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my case. He guided me through every step of the process, making sure I understood my rights and options. His expertise in lemon law was evident, and provided me the best possible service.

Great job. Ash and his team are great. The timing was a bit off, meaning it took a little longer than expected. But Ash was pretty spot on about what he could get.
He also will answer his phone!! I shopped around for several attorneys, and he was the ONLY one who picked up and was willing to have a 5 min conversation with me. The 5 min conversation actually extended into 30 min. He was very informative of the process, options, and steps that needed to be taken and what the bottom line was gonna look like in the end.
Highly recommended.

I can't thank Lemon Law Champions enough for their incredible work on my 2018 Kia Optima case! After dealing with constant engine issues and getting nowhere with the dealership, I reached out to them, and it was the best decision I could have made. They immediately took charge of my case, explained the entire lemon law process in California, and made me feel confident that I was in good hands.
Their team was professional, responsive, and truly dedicated to getting the best outcome for me. Thanks to their expertise, I received a total engine replacement at no cost, and I didn't have to deal with the stress of battling the manufacturer. They handled everything efficiently and kept me informed throughout the entire process.
If you're facing vehicle issues and need a lemon law attorney in California, Lemon Law Champions are the best in the business. They turned a frustrating situation into a positive outcome, and I couldn't be happier with the results!

I came to Mr Weber who after speaking to several rude attorneys answered his phone at 6pm he was out the door but took his time to talk to me about the bankruptcy I was looking for. He took his time and answered all my questions without trying to rush me off the phone. Pleased I called back the next day and made the first appointment. My husband and I hired him. His office and staff especially Kim returned all my calls and questions prompty. Mr Weber even called me back on a Saturday with a question I thought about! All I can say is his services were superb. I had my hearing today and my file was the only one done correctly and I didnt need to make a second court appearance. 12 other people ahead of me all had attorneys that did not have the files prepared. I highly recommend this office.

I came to Joseph Weber with a judgment against me that I couldn’t pay. I didn’t know what to do. I knew Joe specialized in bankruptcy but that was not what I preferred. Joe agreed with me and I hired him to negotiate and settle my case with the collectors. Although this was not listed as one of Joe’s “specialties” he ended up saving me over 40 thousand dollars! I was able to pay the judgment and go on with my life. Honestly, Joe was one of the most sincere people I have ever worked with. Felt like he really cared during the whole process. My highest recommendation goes to Mr. Weber.

I had an extremely disappointing experience with Morley and Upton. Their communication was virtually nonexistent, and they often wouldn't respond for months on end. Even after my medical treatment was completed a year ago, my case is still open with no clear resolution in sight. I strongly advise looking elsewhere for legal representation.

I truly do not know where to begin when it comes to Robert and the farzad company. From the first time calling and meeting with Robert I felt extremely comfortable with expressing my concerns and doubts. Robert quickly gained my confidence not only within my self but within the justice system all together. Robert and his team especially Shawn at the San Diego location have been nothing but wonderful to me during this difficult time period I had . Words will never be able to express my gratitude towards everyone at the farzad company . THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING, you will always hold a special place in my heart .
If you want a team to back you up and have full reassurance on dealing with your case , you can confidently trust them .

Steve Young settled a case for me during the depths of the recession, when I needed a change in my lease. Although the landlord was very unpleasant and uncooperative, he got a very good settlement for me, with little fuss. His ability to deal with their attorney actually made them come out much on the shorter end -- they would have been better off to take my offer in the first place! Thank you, Steve.

I have relied on this lawyer several times for guidance and he walked me through some really scary times in my life. I always felt I was in the best hands and he did it with heart. Just a great lawyer to have on your side. Super reasonable fees for the quality and years of being a successful trial lawyer too. He doesn't miss a beat! Extremely smart.

I assume Steve is very knowledgeable about the law and a skillful trial lawyer. Or at least he spent a lot of time telling me this. (I heard how important he was a lot!) His ego is pretty huge. However, he has little interest in the day to day handling of a case. He delegates that to his staff. He also didn't seem interested in settling my case (which is what I wanted), telling me over and over that he is a "trial lawyer"I

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:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
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. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
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. -
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.
