I was rear ended by a rental car that was in between ride share gigs that did not have good insurance. They fought for me so I never had to debate with an insurance agent and got me started on healthcare that I needed. Don’t waste time, if you think you have a case, call as soon as possible to get help fast.

I called Ms. Ekaterina Berman to consult with a case, and she provided excellent consultation even she didn't have time to take my case. She listens really well. She gets my point immediately, and gets to her point clearly. The communication was very professional and easy. She offered her professional take on the case and on my concerns, even I haven't hired her. She does not just care about money. She said, to save the time and money, what is the good way to proceed instead of forcing me a case to open and hire her. Although I didn't end up with working with her on my case, I feel only someone who is good at what he/she is doing can do practice and work in the way Ms. Ekaterina Berman does. So I feel this is outstanding from others in the business, and it should be made aware to anyone who seeks for help and service.

Finding a lawyer who is truly knowledgeable, experienced, and trustworthy felt overwhelming. After several tiring free consultations with other lawyers, talking to Rozy felt like a breath of fresh air. It was immediately obvious that she truly cared and her knowledge and expertise was apparent, despite her speaking in a way that was easy to understand without all of the legal jargon. After hiring Rozy, she and her incredible team began working on my case immediately. Throughout the entire process, Rozy and her team took the time to understand my situation, explain my options clearly, and fought tirelessly on my behalf. No question was too small and every call and email was returned promptly. This alone made a world of difference during such a stressful time. After helping me navigate the entire ordeal with confidence and clarity, Rozy secured a settlement that FAR exceeded my expectations. Honestly, I could not be happier. If you're looking for a lawyer who is brilliant, compassionate, and gets results, your search has come to an end. I cannot recommend Rozy and her team highly enough.

Teresa breaks setting up a trust into discrete chunks of work which makes the process less daunting. and easier to complete without stretching out the amount of it takes to finalize your trust. More importantly, Teresa listened to me, learned how I live my life and, my distribution goals. In turn she made custom recommendations to create a trust which is personal to my life and memory. Teresa guides you through some difficult decisions. I always felt that she was working for my benefit rather than pushing to finish up. Another huge part of Teresa's service is to ensure that you understand how trusts work especially the changes that you can make to tweak it in the future. The real definition of a living trust. Teresa/Caplan Wilkinson provides simple to use tools to document your assets, your plans and final chapter care. I'm happy knowing that my trust is not fixed but will continue to age gracefully with me.

I highly recommend Teresa Wilkinson for any estate planning work like creating trusts and wills. She updated our family trust and will documents that were over 20 years old. There was a lot to update in the trust structure and wording and for me the new documents are much easier to understand. What stands about working with Teresa are her trustworthiness and thoroughness. We've known Teresa for many years and trust her implicitly. Knowing she's an expert in estate planning and elder law gave us complete confidence in choosing her as our lawyer. Teresa was extremely thorough during our interviews to cover all aspects like advanced medical directives and a number of topics I hadn't considered.

And when you’re in the midst of a complex divorce or custody dispute where every decision counts and has a lasting impact, having 250+ years of collective family law experience matters even more.

I want a good lawyer watching my back, talking to me straight, and with my best intentions in his heart and mind at all times and not a traitor or a sell out.... i've been through over 25 attorneys in my life and spent over $1.5mil dollars on them .... most of them are bums.... gutless automatons doing the bidding of the District Attorney's Office so they can stay in their good graces and squeak out a living for what is basically a pathetic career... Paez and a few other of the eagleheart attorneys that I've run across in my 50 years in the criminal justice system.... 15 years of which has been behind bars, doesn't belong to that club .... which means he is a breath of fresh air; a great guy to have on your side ....one who is not gonna sell you out; not gonna okey-doke you ; which means he's an individual who's got a conscience and will do his best for you and when you or I need to be told something, he'll tell it to you straight up . Blend that righteousness, yeah that's what I said, righteousness with knowledge , which is power, w/communication skills and a friendly.... " get along attitude " and you got a formidable goddamn opponent and a great lawyer representing you and me and that is precisely why I can't say enough good things about Michael Paez who spent extra hours on my stuff resolving two cases to my liking ....do you hear what I'm saying folks? He resolved them both to my liking ....he changed the DA's mind and their position and he got the judge to go along with it also....he's tenacious in a nice way. .....and he's equally vicious in a nice way also........meticulous, thorough well prepared, rested and ready to kick ass ! That's my boy right there ....you can't do better...do you hear me defendant .... you can't do better than Paez. Period . And I know from first-hand experience what I'm talking about ....exactly what I'm talking about.... and so here I lay it out and I tell the truth.....and one last quality that goes with this package and that is that I can talk to him with real talk exactly the way I feel And he listens and he understands and then he gets to work to make sure that happens to the best of his abilities and doesn't stop until the job is done ....seriously, the highest marks I can give ....I give to this man.

My name is Babu (Purna) A.I reviewed all the messages.I have so much to share. To make it short, I leave it as templates.First one.Michael is not lier.He is a LAWYER (I expand it with words -Lovely, Available, With heart, for You, Every time, Represents) . He helped (and worked with ME) as a brother.He checks every corner of the case. I am an immigrant.He asked me to check with immigration attorney.I said I do not need. But he made me to see one of his known attorney to make sure things will not affect.BTW:when I got my DUI in front my home San Jose, it was a stolen van parked in front of my garage and I hit when was backing up.Some one called cops. And cops gave 2 tickets - DUI and Hit-and-Run. Michael, investigated and told to the judge that it was stolen vechicle parked near drive way.I did not know about it.He takook care of. BTW:By birth I am Roman Catholic and I go any place (church, temple, any language) where people sing. It is church when 2 more are together with goodspirit. I love JESUS. I say, like 20th Century (practical)disciples of Jesus were Mahathma Gandhi (I call Jesus2), Martin Luther King ... I love their wisdom, work and at leat keep in my mind. I am a software engineer, love music (my son name) and nature (my daughter name). I play musical instruments, (used to) practice Homoepathic Medicine.My friends ask me why do not you start it again, and give it our children.I do somany things (and you can think of mistakes along with them, so to speak). The thing I want to mention here is the FAITH. That is what Jesus gave us message - your faith cured you.Chemicals (tablets and pills alone) may help; with faith it will be cured.I have FAITH in Michael. Jesus sayid two things only -- Praise your Lord (the nature you and me part of it). Love your neigbors, the way you love your self. Jesus in practice. Why I am bringing thse things up is ... It is (my) Joy to SHARE our experience in our jorney and pass the message for good. Sorry! if it was too long, boring and/or words do not make sense.

I'm opening with the statement: INCREDIBLE service, attention to detail, and follow up! I sustained injuries in a car accident where the other driver was at fault, and for the first time in my life I realized that I was going to need more than my own auto insurance company's assistance. Fortunately for me, I was referred to the team at GJEL Accident Attorneys as a starting point, and I didn't need to seek any other guidance after that. I completed a very quick and efficient phone call to explain my circumstances to the firm, and before I could blink I had received an email with clear and simple steps to take to begin the process. I was treated with kindness and compassion during a time when I had a lot of worries about the accident. They made me feel so at ease by advising that they would essentially take over all of the difficult correspondence that was already starting - whether it was my insurance company, the other driver's insurance company, hospital bill inquiries, etc, they handled it all immediately. I was informed and advised at every step down the path to settlement, and their timeliness along the way was so impressive that it made me feel that somehow I was their only client. I wholeheartedly recommend GJEL Accident Attorneys should the need arise, as the entire team had incredible industry knowledge, and they were punctual and professional at every step.

I hired Mr. Rohani for my accident. I was very clueless on how the process works. I called couple lawyers and by far Mr. Rohani was the most personable. He replied in timely matter and did not ignore me at all. I’ve worked with many lawyers in the past and as soon as you ask them a question you see a bill sent to you for their 3 minutes of answering. He has made me and my family feel very comfortable during this process. I highly recommend Mr. Rohani for any accident related injury claims.

Me, my friends and some of my family have used Mr. Rohani couple of times for accident cases. Process is very smooth with him. You barely have to call him to follow up. He will call you to follow up to make sure you are up to date on everything. Other lawyers i've worked with in the past were too busy to follow up or to keep me updated on my case. Give him a call and you will see what i'm talking about.

Let me just say, every single person I had the opportunity to speak to and/or meet in this office is absolutely FANTASTIC. My first interaction was with Stacy. Before I did any kind of explaining regarding my case, she was kind and honest in letting me know she couldn’t guarantee it would be picked up due to the deadline (I came to them with only weeks before my statute of limitations was up) and how busy the office was which I understood. But after I told her what happened, she reassured me if the office had too full of a plate, she would still personally help me find someone to take my case. Even though she was confident they were going to be able to help, I appreciated the additional effort on her part. Once she passed along my info to Louis, he called me back promptly and let me know they could take it. In the same day of speaking with Stacy and Louis, I was also reached out to by Emily who I spoke to for hours. Now, while most was relevant to my case, she was also just super personable! Each time I got off the phone with someone, I literally wanted to cry from how relieved I was. In just one day, this office took away any stress I had and finally put me at ease. Later on, I was assigned a case manager, Rebecca, who communicated extremely well and checked in on me to make sure I was updated on everything surrounding my case! After my accident, I didn’t expect to find myself having to scramble for a personal injury lawyer. But I am glad to have met each of these individuals. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about all of the help and hard work they put into my case. Also, shout out to Eben for helping me with the prep for my first scheduled deposition, even though opposing counsel rescheduled day of due to having “no Wi-Fi” :) It’s easy to think “well that’s their job” but you can tell, to them, it’s so much more. While I would never want to experience this again, I am glad this office was recommended to me and I will continue to recommend them to others. Thank you everyone 1000x over! You are truly the best!

I worked with Steve for just under a year on my case. Steven was right by my side every step of the way. Follow up and passing the play by plays as they came kept my confidence through the process. Aside from Steve being an expert in his trade; he’s passionate; straight shooter, very direct (appreciated) and has your best interest in mind as you work towards aligning interests towards the best outcome. I have referred several professional contacts to Steven in recent months going through similar situations. Steve Cohn is by far my favorite and I’m grateful our paths have crossed. He’s a lifer in my book and will indefinitely be on my annual Christmas card list!

Having graduated from Law School in 1995 yet not practicing law now, I was very familiar with the processes in a law office. As I explained my situation to Mr. Cohn, I was impressed that he completely listened to everything before commenting. He then explained his theory on the best avenue for success. Afterwords, the staff worked diligently in processing all the necessary paperwork and I was relieved to know that I had a hard working team on my behalf. I would and do highly recommend this law firm for all employment and business related issues.

I spoke with Attorney Kopelson (Robert) last week concerning a traffic accident (rear-end collision). I respectfully disagree with the very few negative Yelp reviews of Robert. I think the review gives an unfair, one-sided depiction of Robert's personality. After speaking with Robert over the phone during a consultation with him, here are some of my honest reflections: ---He generously gave me time to tell him about my case and to holistically understand my situation. -- He listened, asked me the right questions, and gave me sound legal advice based on all the relevant information I provided. ---He was forthright and honest throughout our entire conversation. ---He showed skill in being able to place himself in the position of the other side and to thoughtfully consider the other side's arguments. ---He demonstrated ethical discernment as he evaluated my case. ---Robert was friendly and open, which made talking with him and getting to know him a truly enjoyable experience. I wish I could have spent more time talking to him! I believe Robert makes a true difference in people's lives, one contact and one case at a time. I highly recommend you calling Attorney Kopelson if you have any questions concerning a personal injury and want to talk to an ethical, honest, experienced (40-year law practice), sharp, smart, and exceptional person/attorney to represent you.

There is not too many attorneys that would take an hour out of their day to get a free legal advice to a party they are not representing so we thank him very much and we want him to be recognized that’s why if you ever need a great attorney that is very passionate and caring and that will fight for you this is the attorney for you blessings ..

I was injured in a bike accident. The driver was sitting in his car and opened his car door on me as I rode by. Ended up at the ER with 6 internal and 6 external stitches in my neck, an inch away from my carotid artery, a sore wrist which a MRI revealed to be a slight tendon tear and abrasions on my knee and hand, plus a sore shoulder. The driver's GEICO insurance tried to refute my claim saying I was 50% at fault for not looking to see if a driver was in the car. The police report said he was in violation since I had the right of way. I initially contacted a larger law firm I saw advertised on TV. They referred me to Braid. Braid was great. He told me these things might take a while, but to be patient. GEICO initially offered to only pay my medical expenses, then a little later expenses plus $7K. Braid advised me to wait because he was sure he could negotiate more. Eventually he negotiated a significant settlement, much more than I ever expected. The whole process took 7 months. I highly recommend him.

When you need a really good lawyer in a tough and complex traffic accident situation then I highly recommend Law Offices of Braid Pezzaglia. Before I chose Braid's office, I had done extensive research about legal firms specializing in motorcycle accidents in the San Jose and SF Bay Area locations. I shortlisted a handful of them and talked to them before I made my final decision. I am glad I chose the Law Offices of Braid Pezzaglia. Braid is a very sharp, extremely knowledgeable legal professional, can assess tough situations quickly, can call lies in an instant, has kept me sane and the other parties involved accountable. He is very responsive and even though he has many clients at a time he never failed to make me feel I am on top of his list. I highly recommend Braid and his office.

Mr. Diego Macwilliam for me was the right lawyer, at the right time, for my particular situation. He contacted both a government agency and a private company regarding a potential fraud inditement involving me and my families estate concerning overpayment of funds. Without his experience and guidance I personally would have not been able to come to a solution for the two outside parties involved and myself. He made contacts with the two different entities and got them to provide physical representatives to conclude the transactions. Mr. Diego Macwilliam explained each step of the way clearly and provided me with a time table. He made it possible for me to finalize the entire issue and he brought it to a defused equitable solution.

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.

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.
