I made an appointment to have a consultation with David Almanez the eviction attorney. I waited for 45 minutes for the intake guy, Tyler to check his schedule. We agreed on a time and date, only for him to call me the next day to cancel and try to reschedule a week later. If this is how they treat a prospective client. No Thank you! I wonder if it’s because I live out of state, and the property is located in Los Angeles, and not in Sherman Oaks. Either way it’s obvious he didn’t want my business! It’s a blessing to know this before I gave them my retainer!

This law firm was who we needed to deal with our tenant habitability lawsuit. We had a wonderful experience with David Almarez and Lily Gevorkian. They were very professional, detailed oriented, responsive to my questions and made me feel confident that I was getting the best representation. David is a real fighter and knew how to get a good settlement. I could sleep at nights. They will be who I turn to if we have anymore lawsuits

Louis and his staff are personable, professional and timely. No doubt they will get the results you deserve, we will go to him if ever needed again. Excellent. We were involved in a car accident (not at fault) and his results exceeded our expectations. Thanks for turning a bad experience into a better one, Louis.

Mr. Yepremian was very knowledgable and always kept me informed on a routine basis. I had a contract issue and I started panicking because I have been through some legal situations before and it did not turn well. I opted to hire a new lawyer because of past experiences and found Mr. Yepremian's card at my father's business shop. Mr. Yepremian made me feel like I can trust him and was very helpful in explaining to me in detail about my case. Mr. Yepremian was so helpful and even taught me things I had no clue of such as the requirements that a contract needs. He is definitly far beyond his years and the best lawyer I have come across, what a gem!

David seems like and probably is a decent guy outside of the profession...but made erros and 1) tried to charge me to fix an error for a fling that was rejected to not understanding local rules 2)Made a verbal deal with the opposing who took advantage of the deal not being in writing which resulted in my being deposed twice and NEVER LANDING A DEPOSITION FROM OPPOSING. The error was compounded with a last-minute attempt for a reprieve that the court rejected and blamed be for not having more diligent counsel..they would not move the schedule. I think people dealing with serious ($$$) cases and especially federal should do their research.

I rented a place for massage this February, but the premises, I found latter, was too bad -- the neighbors of this place constantly make much noise. I decided to end the lease, but my building owner didn't want to do so. I had to ask for help from David . In less than two months David told me that the lease is successfully terminated and we can just leave it behind. David is very professional in the stuff he does, therefore I highly recommend him.

They seamlessly work to ensure my personal and business issues are addressed as professionally as possible. They speak to my other attorneys and business associates to gather not only the content, but also the context that can only be garnered personally. I owe them everything and sincerely appreciate their care! I recommend David Pierce, JD, Richard Stinstrom and his staff without reservation!

She is the most unprofessional little person I have ever spoken to. An employee in Mindy Bish's office confirmed with me that she screams at everyone, belittles her clients, drops cases is mean etc. I personally believe Mindy Bish is emotionally and metally ill. She has major anger issues. My case was let go for long periods of time. I would call with no calls back from Stacey Cutter. I asked numerous times for my case to be settled. Stacey never contacted State Farm to ask. Stacey would text me and call me that we need to get together and discuss case. She never did. I was told by both my case is worth $100,000.00. And they dropped it? Lawyers are given scores reflecting their work. Stacey Cutter have a 6, and that is a very low score. I would never hire any Lawyer below 9.0. Always ck their reviews. I have been asking since last year for my paper files and my deposition that they are refusing to send me.6 or more months after begging for my deposition they sent me someone elese. I confirmed with Stacey Cutter office that Stacey Cutter would be bringing my paper file and my deposition with her to court. STACEY RAE CUTTER NEVER SHOWED UP TO COURT.

I have to tell you guys, Erik is one of the best Lawyers I have ever met. He goes an extra mile to help out and give advises. He is very friendly and always follows up with you on your case and give updates if anything comes up. I am so glad I met him. I highly recommend him if anyone wants to hire a lawyer in his field.

The business I work for had an account assigned to OLIVIA PALOMARES. We agreed on a payment plan and made the first two payments as scheduled. I received an email both months with aggressive undertones tell me to pay the debt. I had to respond twice to tell her we were ALREADY on a payment plan with her and that one more threatening email and I would stop payment. We stopped payment on the third month when the third email came in. In the past I used my personal cell phone for work. The company is now closed and when I told her she was calling my personal number and can email the company she start rapidly repeating "Are you going to return my email?!" Not allowing my to explain further. This kind of behavior towards a person who is not personally responsible for the debt in collections is completely unacceptable. She should be the most professional person if she is being entrusted to represent your company with OTHER COMPANIES. Our company used debt collectors too, and I am sure there will be companies in my future who will also use debt collections companies. I will be 1000% sure to mention the poor unprofessional behavior of your representative.

I felt my case was not handled professionally. I felt that Adam and Justin treated me as if I was a charity case that they were doing a favor even though they received a bigger split of the settlement. Justin was rough to me in his communications and at times, I wondered if they were on my team. Justin was extremely stressful in his approach, demeaning in nature like I was not intelligent enough to give my opinion. Adam seemed caring within the duration of my case and came in on the tail end of negotiations and settled far less than I had hoped for. He seemed hungry (Ambulance chaser) type of attorney. His staff members were rude and unprofessional except for one young lady Lorna. She was kind and professional and was a real pleasure to speak with. I will not recommend this attorney or his firm. I really wanted to like Adam as one business professional to another but I felt my race played a part of being disrespected even though that's his line of business.

I was very disappointed in this firm. It took them close to three weeks to get back to me in regards to my potential case. They did not follow up with me and I ended up calling three times and wrote 4 emails all to no response. This was after on the 3rd day giving them a complete intake form of all the details pertaining to my potential case. By the third week I received a letter letting me know that they could not take my case, not a phone call or a explanation of the results. Very frustrating unprofessional firm.

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.
