I literally made this account just to leave a review. That speaks volumes about the exceptional relationship with Jerome Bellotti, Esq.
Jerome gave me the best care for myself and my case.
I finally received a settlement, and I can reassure you that Ryan Harris is the best, with known results and top-notch customer service.
Since my representation started, their firm has been located in a few locations, but now they are all over to help everyone that needs their services.
We had our last call for my case, and I felt firmly that I had the best lawyer and firm. I had 14 other firms want to take my case, but I chose Harris Law Firm as the best law firm for my case.
After our last call, Jerome made sure to always answer my questions and reassure me with his communication, experience, and willingness to make sure he did his best to maximize the best outcome for my case.
If you are looking for a law firm for personal injury, please reach out to them to see if it's a great fit for your case.
Jerome Bellotti, Esq., is a rockstar, and he made it his responsibility to get the best outcome for my case. I can attest that he succeeded in being the best lawyer with great results based on my outcome.
I can now move forward in life knowing I had the best care and rebuild my life after a tough time due to the car accident I experienced.
Ryan Harris Law is definitely ranked as the #1 law firm with the best lawyers like Jerome B.
Thank you so much, Jerome Bellotti, Esq.

Ryan Harris and his team of lawyers handled an auto accident case my wife and I. We were rear ended while driving from Utah to California. Although my wife was not as injured as I was, I required surgery on my wrist because of the way it hit the steering wheel of my car. Ryan and his team helped me throughout the entire process of the case, and in the end they got me compensated. I wasn't trying to win the lottery, but I suffered through the injury and the surgery, and these guys made it right by getting my medical bills paid for and money for my suffering. The process can be long, but I understand that is the system sometimes. Ryan saw it through. I would recommend them for sure.

Last summer I broke my back and foot when a car pulled out in front of me while I was riding my motorcycle. My friend Evan was working for Mr. Harris at the time so I contacted him. They explained the entire process and answered all my questions with no pressure to hire them.
Given my situation, hiring Mr. Harris was the best decision I could have made. The driver who hit me had low insurance limits that didn't cover all the medical bills, yet his office dealt with everything so I could focus on my recovery. Great office.

Mr. Goodman and his team are very responsive and thorough. Mr. Goodman is informative and upfront with you. It is obvious that he has been practicing family law for a long time. Financial side of this, he will work with you and you are getting quality service for what you pay. I highly recommend him if you want a responsive, communicative, thorough, professional attorney. These are hard to come by when it comes to attorneys. Also, I second everyone’s review. Mr. Goodman and his team have your best interest at heart.

I recommend Vincent Tong at Tong Law to anyone dealing with an employment related matter. I appreciated Vincent and his team for their responsiveness and accommodation.

During our call, Vincent took the time to listen to my situation, helped to educate me on what my rights were and what options were available, and answered all of the questions that I had. I was thoroughly satisfied with the guidance and expertise from Tong Law, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with an employment related issue.

I had the pleasure of working with AJ during a very challenging time in my life. After my first lawyer, who worked remotely and was unfamiliar with Alameda County, I was relieved to find someone like AJ who truly knows the local legal landscape. AJ's experience and knowledge were evident from the start, and he and his paralegal Teddy always responded to my questions in a timely manner. His billing was transparent and accurate, which added peace of mind throughout the process. I’m grateful for the support AJ provided and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. He came highly recommended by a friend, and now I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to others.

Jennifer helped us in our disability case for our disabled adult Son. She was informative, intelligent, attentive and honest. Before we met Jennifer the social security system had become extremely frustrating and discouraging. On our own we had already applied and appealed and had been turned down twice as a result of lack of medical records that were not being sent by the Hospital and Doctors offices. It had become so discouraging but I knew for my Sons sake that I had to try one more time. I could not have imagined appealing again and going into the hearing without a great attorney. I hired Jennifer the same day that I met her. From the time she met our Son she asked insightful questions to help her understand his disability so that she would be able to give him the best representation. It was very clear to me that she is in this business for all the right reasons. She did an amazing job in our hearing. She presented the information clearly and she always treated our Son with respect. I will be forever thankful to this Lawyer for difference that she made in our Sons life.

After failing to be approved for disability submitting my own case twice, I retained Ms. Solomon who organized my massive amount of information,culling the most relevant facts and photographs. She helped me understand exactly what we needed to prove and verify to win approval. She always responded promptly to my calls or emails, and was kind and supportive. I was a bit unnerved when we arrived in court and the photographs of my very red swollen auto immune rashes had been printed in black and white, and the final report had a few inaccuracies which I had not had a chance to review and correct. The bottom line is that we won the case anyway, and I don't think that would have been possible on my own. Overall it was as good as this type of experience could be.

I can't express myself enough in words of thanks, gratefulness and complete satisfaction how Attorney Jennifer Solomon expertise and consistent work gave me a positive outcome of my appeals case. I would HIGHLY recommend to my friends, family and anyone who needs representation.

Don't hire them. The charge $800 for a less than 5mins court that we didn't went inside . poor communication from your attorney and they charge for random stuffs and $40 per text that they dont response back at all. it was a waste of 10k . The attorneys don't guide you at all . The Nieves law firm is a waste of time and money . highly recommend going somewhere else.

I wish I could give them negative stars, they keep on sending paperwork to my house for a person who never worked for me. I called them multiple times to tell them I don’t know any David Manchester, but still they keep on sending papers to house. I been trying to reach the attorney about this since December 2023. I spoke with Lauren on April 25 2024, she said she was going to look into and give me call back but she also hasn’t responded. Every time i call it goes to outside receptionist who doesn’t know anything, all they do is take my message, which I don’t know even know if it’s reaching the attorney or not.

Glad to be able to Have Marlon represent me in my case! I was put in a unfortunate and unfair situation that involved some false allegations and Marlon made sure i was fully informed and aware of the pros and cons of everything step by step. One thing i respect about the way he goes about things is he never jumps ahead of the situation or give false hopes or
Information and Instead keeps thIngs in a realistic perspective which my opinion is only right because it kept us from jumping ahead of the situation and creating a premature conclusion while the case was still in proceedings. Well to sum it all up, my case was successfully Dismissed and The Monroe Firm provided the representation to ensure that the outcome was nothing short then fair judgement that was deserved.

John Hill isn't stable to help you with your legal problems. He is barely there mentally. He doesn't have POA for his own affairs. His nephew Micheal Hill is POA. I was his live-in caregiver, assistant, trainer helping continuously for 13 months. I worked for him every single day for the entire time. NO VACATION, NO DAYS off for a whole year. That tells you what kind of hypocrite he is. He is in such cognitive decline, it is unimaginable that he can "practice" law. When I requested a vacation after exhausting myself he hired someone for cheaper and I was asked to leave under threat because he blamed me for reporting financial crimes I uncovered while on the job . I've been trying to collect back pay and overtime that is owed to me and wouldn’t even return my calls. I had to sue him to collect 6 months of overtime. I've never been treated so poorly and insignificantly by a client that I dedicated my life to. Nobody in his immediate family came to help him even one day. That tells you what kind of man he is.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Florence Ndedi throughout my journey towards obtaining DACA, permanent residence, and ultimately, US citizenship.
Florence guided me meticulously through every step of the process, from compiling the necessary documentation to preparing for the citizenship interview. Her attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that all paperwork was submitted accurately and on time.
What sets Florence apart is her genuine compassion and dedication to her clients. She took the time to understand my personal circumstances and addressed all my concerns with patience and empathy. Her clear communication kept me informed at all times, and I always felt confident that my case was in capable hands.
Thanks to Florence's expertise, I am now a proud US citizen. Her commitment to justice and her clients' well-being is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Florence to anyone seeking reliable legal assistance in immigration matters. She is not just a lawyer; she is an advocate who genuinely care about changing lives for the better.

All what lawyers want is money and this guy was not the exception. My husband paid him $10k and we didn't hear from him after like 8 or 9 months, and it was not even Arash the one in touch, it was one of his assistants. We didn't see him face to face until I arrived to the USA only because he wanted more money to start the process of the green card and because we didn't pay, he stopped answering all the questions we had after my arrival. I am sure there are better lawyers that charge less for a K1 Visa.

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:
-
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.
