Fakhimi & Associates has been there to help me fight a good fight a couple of times now. I'm a blue collar plumber and work hard for what I have to offer my house. You put heart and soul into a company, you hope that the hard work and dedicated you put into your craft, they would reward you for what you do for the company.... they take advantage of you and your time. Time away from your family, holiday functions, and just life. Recently my old employer did just that... I decided to fight and this office helped me. They helped me get back what my family was owed. Houman Fakhimi himself personally made sure my house wasn't robbed. This is going to be a good if not the best, Christmas my home has ever seen. I can't thank Fakhimi & Associates enough, thank you Houman! Best wishes for the upcoming holidays for your office and it's families!

Anthony settled a case for me in December of 2015 from an unfortunate accident in a retail store and a fair settlement was had. I had been going through a very difficult time in my life for many reasons involving many issues and I am ashamed to admit now I was not an easy client and Anthony could have let me go a few times but his understanding to my personal issues and Anthony having compassion for others was able to get me through the process as we had some difficult issues in my case at times which proved frustrating for both of us but Anthony was professional on all accounts. I highly recommend Anthony if you want A WORLD CLASS ATTORNEY who works hard on your behalf then Anthony Nunes is the man for you to get the job well done under any circumstances and is very well up to date and educated within all areas of the law. Best Regards

Anthony is AMAZING!!!!!! From the start to the end he was professional, understanding, had a great positive attitude, and honestly most of all, he truly made me feel at ease the whole time. He always answered my calls and if he couldn't he always called back as soon as he was available. He was able to get my case dismissed. Honestly he is the best. THANK YOU Anthony. I can sleep calm now thanks too you. Sincerely Mayra

"I was sitting in a booth in a La Marada restaurant when a car came crashing through the walls of the restaurant and slammed into me as I was eating lunch. I guess the driver lost control of his car. Anyway, I suffered a broken hip that required surgery and then had to spend 30 days in a rehabilitation home. I went to The Reeves Law Group for help. The lawyer I consulted at the law firm, Neil Berry, told me that it might take some time because of insurance issues, but that he would get me all the money I deserved. It took a while because we had to go against three different insurance companies, but the attorney was as good as his word! He got me all the money available under all three insurance companies. These guys are great.

Mr. Anderson was simply stellar. I had a justified but very challenging Lemon Law case - which scared away most of the other lemon lawyers I spoke with. Thankfully, one of those lawyers referred me to Anderson Law. I guess he has a reputation in the field for being able to win difficult cases. He definitely succeeded where most others were too afraid to even try.
I would describe Mr. Anderson as thorough, precise, highly experienced, knowledgeable, articulate, intentional, intelligent, friendly, and very effective. I took great comfort in knowing that my case was being handled by someone whose expertise is off the charts. It is clear from working with him that his amazing track record is because he is that good, and not because he only takes the easy cases. I hope that I never get another lemon. But if I do, he will be my first phone call.

I would’ve give this firm a Zero Stars, but I can’t. Unfortunately, users are required to give at least one star to post a response. Lawyer stated that I had a case, but couldn’t take the case. Therefore, find a reputable lawyer that will take the case and fight for your rights. This attorney will not .

From the very beinging, Steve Counts made me feel he was concerned about my future and especially about my health after being rear ended in a automobile accident, so I knew I had hired the One.

My Attorney and his Paralegal were terrific in handling my complicated Personal Injury Lawsuit and the final results certainly prove that they not only spent a great deal of their time, effort, and interest on it, but of great importance to me is that they were both always available to me and kept me completely informed throughout the entire case --- I could not have asked for anything more!

I hired Mr. Anasari to help me administrate/probate a complicated estate. There were many usual aspects to my case that invlolved tremendous case study and accuracy. He had to deal with and prepare for very difficult circumstances and individuals. At all times I felt confident in and heard by Mr. Anasari. He is an attorney that takes his time getting to know the client as well as the circumstance and reality. I highly recommend him to anyone planning an estate/living trust and anyone who’s family memeber did not. He is a good resource to have in your corner. I’m thankful for the work/time he provided and grateful to have hired him for such a delicate matter.

Thank you so much for all the work you have done on my behalf and on my daughter's behalf. It means so much to have the financial security that you helped to ensure for us. I don't need to worry about how I am going to pay for my daughter's education. I won't be struggling to make ends meet every month. It is difficult to express all that it means for me to know that I do not have to struggle. Through your work on my behalf, you have increased my freedom and reduced my stress level for every day of my life. I am so profoundly grateful for all that you have done for us.

I was referred to the Law Office of Michael Smith by another attorney. They worked on my case with the utmost professionalism. In particular, I worked closely with attorney Michael Chu who was responsive to my questions and concerns. He routinely kept me informed of updates on my case. He negotiated a good settlement for me with the at fault driver and he was also able to reduce my hospital bill. I ended up with a better recovery because of his efforts.

I've had a lawyer for an old car accident and I felt like I was invisible. Michael Chu was the exact opposite. If something came up I was notified right away. When I was in person in a zoom he was my rock I felt he had my back no matter what. I will forever recommend Mr.Chu to anyone and everyone I know because he gives results. Our case only lasted a year I was in shock how quick and not to stressful on me. Michael Chu is a lawyer that really cares for his clients and there well being. Thank you so much for fighting for me when I had no voice and when I had no fight in me. Thank you

Michael Chu is an amazing lawyer whom worked tirelessly on my unique case. I had an accident in November 2013 that took me longer than expected to heal from and followed horrible advice from others. I listened to the wrong people and read wrong advice. Months later, I acquired Michael Chu in March 2014. It seemed to be like an open and close case, but given the bad advice, I found myself more in a predicament that Michael helped me with. He was very professional, easy to contact via email or phone, very responsive, contacted the opposing party and tried his best to resolve the issues outside of court, and was able to resolve my case. It required much more work than expected, but Michael was always helpful, responsive, and welcoming. We never went into litigation since it was resolved prior, but his work was very organized and well written.

I'm beyond grateful and lucky to have had the expertise of Ben Ikuta and his firm represent me. He kept me updated on the status of my case and most importantly to me, kept me calm. He provided much needed information into the background of my situation and the outcome possibilities. He was beyond knowledgeable to the specifics of my case and was able to provide solid counsel. What sets Ben and his practice apart is his devotion to his clients and to fight for what's right.

It was lucky to meet Chris Kim lawyer. When I had an unexpected car accident, I was so afraid even if it was not my fault. I contacted 2 big law firms, but both of them were hesitant to take my case because my car accident wasn't big enough for them. I contacted Chris Kim lawyer, he was my last hope. When I called him, he listened to me and was on my side. I was so relieved that I finally found a someone who is reliable. Chris Kim lawyer and his team performed above and beyond until my case ended. I highly recommend him. I really appreciate Chris Kim lawyer and his team. I will never forget their hospitality.

I was rear ended and the other driver didn't have insurance. I was injured and Chris and his team helped me to get my car fixed and set me up with medical care. They also made sure I got paid for the inconvenience of my car accident. They kept checking up on me and gave me timely updates on the progress of my suit. Chris and Jayne showed that they care and took care of almost everything while I recovered. I hope I won't have to use their services again but if I need to I will use them again. I would honestly refer their services to my friends. Thanks to Chris and his wonderful team!

I just wanted to let you know how much of a difference that your years of effort have made in my daughter's life. Krystal is doing well and now has access to so many resources that we wouldn't have even been aware of or otherwise have access to without your help. I don't know how we could have made it through this experience without you. It was the most excuciating experience I've ever been through. Without your support and the support of the entire Aitken Aitken Cohn Firm, I just don't know what we would have done. I will never forget all that you have done and will be forever grateful for everything.

You'll see and feel the difference when you talk to Norman. He listened and reviewed my case carefully and was very passionate to help me understand the procedure and the option.

I highly recommend her. Diana may be a woman but do not let that fool you. She takes her job very serious and works hard to get the best settlement for you which made me more than comfortable enough for her to take on my case. Diana is better and tougher than a lot of male lawyers I came across. She is also really kind with her clients which was a plus for me because other lawyers do not treat their clients with the same respect.

When justice needed to be served, I reached out to a dear friend of mine. He is also an attorney and he assured me that his respected colleague, Diana Lopez, would have some great insight for me. I was very interested and needed someone on my side. I was a little desperate, but careful to trust. The way I was maltreated was frustrating and Diana got to the bottom of many laws that my former employer violated, that I did not even know about. She is very intelligent, precise, detailed and efficient at her job. She was very professional, yet easy to talk to at the same time. She always made time for my email, calls and silly questions no matter how busy she was. Diana had a lot on her plate already when I first introduced her to my case, but she assured me that with patience she would provide the greatest focus and diligence. I liked best how Diana represented me in a very sophisticated and hard-working nature to my former employer. I try extremely hard to be professional in the workplace and I value that she was able to portray that of me during this "battle" between them and us. I appreciate what Diana has done for me so much. She has not only helped me to be at ease with that situation in my life, but she has brought justice where my previous employer needed a rude awakening. Thank you Diana for everything. You are great at what you do and you should feel good that you've made the world a little bit better to live in :D

I was involved in a serious auto accident where the other driver was at fault. When I tried to handle the claim on my own, the other driver's insurance started playing games with me.
I hired Lance and within a week the other insurance company accepted 100% of the liability. Throughout the next several months Lance worked with the insurance and my medical providers to get me a very fair settlement. Lance and his entire office were professional and effecient. I'm glad I contacted him and decided to have him fight for me.

Since the accident wasn't my fault, my attorney, Lance Rupp was able to get me treated and I was compensated as well. It is really important to document everything if you are in an accident and definitely use an attorney. I would definitely use this law firm again.

It is heartfelt when I tell you that I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Cochran. After hiring him for my situation (after a conducting a comprehensive search for a good attorney) he proved to me over and over again to be an excellent attorney who well exceeded my expectations! He is very knowledgeable, conscientious, fair, ALWAYS returned my phone calls/e-mails as well as proactively communicated with me on a regular basis. Mr. Cochran is good natured and worked very effectively with other attorneys as well as myself (as his client) personally managing my case. I would highly recommend him for superior results!

Richard Thomas Collins is representing me in a wrongful termination/whistleblower case. We lost our case in federal court. Rich is my hero and will continue to be even if the appellate court denies our appeal for a new trial. I'd recommend him and his team at Berger Kahn to anyone.

We shopped around and spoke with 6 other attorneys before finding Richard Thomas Collins. We knew he was "the one" when he took time to listen to every aspect of our case and even advised us for awhile, before we officially hired him. And then when we did sign on with him, he tried to be reasonable about the fee and not charge more than necessary. His attitude was to see how things go and maybe he wouldn't need to charge more.
Other attorneys wouldn't even talk beyond 10 minutes or so without demanding a retainer fee.
Richard Collins remained realistic and careful not to promise positive results that might not happen, but at the same time, he was thorough and quoted actual penal codes that pertained to our case. He did his homework and made sure the details were correct. The letters he wrote on our behalf were so outstanding and accurate that it helped us get through rough days and cheered us up to read them!
It appears that the outcome of the case is exactly what we had hoped for, and we attribute that result to Richard Collins' expertise and knowledge, for our type of case.
He was completely professional yet sensitive to what we were going through as real people with feelings.
His manner is so pleasant and reassuring.
He was always good to return calls and kept us informed.
Having worked with other attorneys on other unrelated issues in the past, we wish we had known about him sooner!

Scott has been very helpful, reassuring and informative. He was quick to answer when I first contacted him. He’s been there to answer any questions or concerns that I’ve had through this process. He’s explained everything very thoroughly and always prepared me for the next steps. He was able to get me the best outcome I could have hoped for. I’m glad I chose him to be my attorney and if I ever need an attorney again, I know who to call.

I referred a case to Scott and he did a fantastic job ending in the case being dismissed. As an attorney myself for over 40 years, I appreciate professional excellence when I see it. I recommend Scott to anyone who has a criminal case and needs a caring and highly competent attorney to represent them.

As an immigration lawyer I do not handle criminal cases, so when one of my clients got arrested in Orange County, California I needed to help my client to find the very best criminal defense attorney.
I reached out to the people I trust in the area and they recommended Attorney Thomas. Scott Thomas is a force to be reckoned with, shortly after my client hired him, the case was dismissed!!
In other words, the best possible results! I strongly recommend this lawyer to my fellow attorneys as well as anyone in Southern California looking for a lawyer that gets results.
I have been practicing law for about 10 years so it is difficult to impress me but the Law Office of Scott C. Thomas gets a 10/10 and I will definitely be recommending them to all my California clients!!

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.
