Our family would like to thank Lara Gressley and Mike Donaldson for all their help recently. Their professionalism and diligence was greatly appreciated. More importantly, their honesty and integrity was spot on and they helped us to understand what was happening and what was going to happen to prepare us and we were not surprised throughout our process.
It is well worth your time to pick up the phone and call them.

I really got lucky the day I needed an attorney for a horrible mistake I had made. I was lucky that the first two attorneys I called from the internet were too busy for my call, because Scot was my third call that day and I thank God for that. Most of my life I have never been in trouble, and when trouble found me I was scared. I did know what to do or what was going to happen. Scot, from the moment I called, made me feel like I could breathe. He reassured me that being my first offense I most likely would not see jail time. Scot always answered every phone call, text and or email in a very timely fashion. He got my sentence reduced to what I know was the lowest he possibly could and I felt like he genuinely cared about my situation. I hope I never have to call him again, but if I knew anyone who needed help, I would definitely recommend him to anyone I knew.

A friend referred Scot to me when I was looking for an attorney for my daughter. She had been charged with a serious drug offense. Scot worked out a deal with the D.A. that she could do six months in a rehab and then six months in jail. This was a great relief after hearing that their first offer was prison time. Unfortunately, my daughter didn’t stay in rehab and left and was charged with other serious drug offenses. She exacerbated the situation by skipping court dates several times. Scot was there for all of the court dates, and patiently continued to competently defend her with a district attorney who was becoming more and more impatient with my daughter’s shenanigans. Finally, she faced her day in court, and Scot worked out an amazing resolution. Despite the fact that she had faced the possibility of years in prison for her first case, the cases were combined and he managed to work out a deal where she served several months in jail. I highly recommend Scot if you are looking for a competent, caring and communicative attorney!

I have been searching and searching for a lawyer that could help me with my situation. I had 2 misdemeanors on my record and I actually moved to Idaho, so it was nearly impossible for me to go down to Temecula. Or riverside to deal with this. In searching for someone that can help me. I landed upon this lawyer and I must say the care and help that they gave me was remarkable. The day that I called they started on my case and kept me in the loop with everything. A lot of attorneys that I have contacted wanted to charge me upwards of 3500 and of course, a single mom, I could definitely not afford that. This is the first time I actually had to hire an attorney to help me and it was very daunting, but coming across this attorney made it effortless. I didn't have to do much and living in a different state made me concerned that it was even possible to do. The cases were dismissed so fast I honestly couldn't believe it and the cost was actually very reasonable that I could even afford. I can't express enough how happy I am that I actually, pushed through and decided to make one last call to an attorney and ended up with them. I am so grateful to this attorney for doing what they did in such a short amount of time and keeping me updated throughout the process. I would highly highly recommend this attorney to anyone, and everyone that is searching for a great person and attorney to represent them in a difficult situation you will not regret it.

I am very grateful for meeting Mr. & Mrs. Combs they are very nice and work greatly as a team. Mr. & Mrs. Combs always updated me on my case. They made sure to instruct me properly on what to do with certain forms and anything I had to do on my end. All of my questions were answered and they understood my situation.
Mr. Combs told me something no other lawyer told me, he said he will show up to court on my behalf, knowing I was out of the state. My warrant was removed without me having to be there. The next court date my felony would be dropped which was another court date I did not have to attend. This helped me out tremendously! It would have been very costly for me to travel back and forth since I'm preparing for university. Knowing that, he worked really hard for me to not have to show face.
Thank you very much Mr. & Mrs. Combs. Lovely people, great personalities, I haven't even met them in person and I know this.
To anyone reading I highly recommend this wonderful team!

I can not thank Kirby enough for helping our son get through his court case. It was such a scary and traumatic ordeal, but Kirby was right there with our family the whole way through. We never wanted to have to use a lawyer, but Kirby helped in getting the charges dismissed as well as excellent communication throughout the entire process. He kept us informed and was there on our behalf during court as well. They stayed in touch with us throughout the whole process, and let me say it was months of process. I hope we never have to use him again, lol, but if we ever do need a defense council, hands down first choice for sure!

I was unexpectedly hit by a car from behind by a woman going 40 miles per hour and slid into two other SUV’s on I-5 resulting in a four car accident. My car being the only one to get totaled. I suffered horrendous neck and back problems within days of the accident and underwent three years of constant doctor’s appointments and pain.
What was so upsetting was the fact that the insurance company hadn’t reviewed my file when it came time to offer me a resolution. I had new insurance adjusters assigned to my case constantly and they only cared about offering me the least amount of money possible. They didn’t care about my medical bills, pain or what I had been through.
My car accident lawyer, Brian Ellis was very helpful throughout the process. I’m so thankful I had Brian Ellis and his wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with my car insurance company. My insurance didn't want to pay for the coverage that I had paid to them for years just in case an accident would happen. Once the accident happened, it was upsetting to see how little my insurance company cared or wanted to help. I would highly recommend calling Brian to discuss your case if you’ve been in a car accident or suffered and injuries.
I think it’s a big mistake to not have someone on your side and to try and handle a serisous matter yourself or with someone who may be unqualified.
Brian Ellis is a qualified personal injury attorney in Temecula. It would be wise to call the firm to discuss your case if you’ve been hurt by the negligence of someone else.
He listened to me, what happened and took my case on the contingency fee so I didn’t have to pay him anything until my case was resolved.
Thank you Brian and The Ellis Helm firm for everything you’ve done.

Mr. Ellis was super professional and courteous. Always followed up with me after my consultations and was constantly aware of my case. He allowed me too focus on my recovery 100%, while he took care of business. He turned a highly frustrating and stressful experience into a stress free experience. I would not hesitate to recommend Him or use His services again.

Thank you Brian Ellis. You really helped me during a difficult time.
I was in a car accident and got side swiped by another car. I was in the hospital for two weeks recovering from my injuries. My hospital bills were tremendous. Brian not only helped me sue the other car for hitting me, but he was able to get enough money for me to pay all my hospital bills as well as money for my pain and suffering. It didn't cost me anything to hire him. I would recommend calling Brian if you have been in a car accident.

Stefanos helped me with great honesty and kindness. He told me right away that it wouldn't be in my best interest for him take my case because it was not in his main field of expertise, but he still took the time to research information to help me, and patiently answered my questions before referring me to an attorney who handled cases like mine. I wish all lawyers were as patient and caring as he is. If I ever need a lawyer again, he will be the first person I call.

I contacted David about my Auto Accident. He made the process so quick and painless! It took about a year for the case to settle, and I didn't have to do much, he took care of everything.
Once the case settled, I had a check in my hand in about a month.. Thank you David!
I highly recommend!!

He took my case when no one else would - every other lawyer I spoke to suggested I see Mr. Mayberry. He made me feel at ease from the beginning, was very professional with opposing attorneys but down to earth at the same time. No big ego with him, but great results. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is it sometimes takes a day or two for him to return my calls, but understand because I know he is busy.

I am so lucky to have came across Rebecca Rainwater and Brad Landon. They are truly the most professional attorneys I’ve found. Not only are they extremely professional, but they are extremely detailed when looking into each case and take the time to review every single detail. I hope that I never have to hire another attorney again, but if I do, I will be hiring them again. I had an amazing experience and I know you will too!

Rebecca and her team were the best support system I had going through my case, they were always so quick to respond and you felt like it was your family fighting with you. She definitely knew her stuff and was honest from the start, she is someone you want on your side. Pricing I thought was more than fair and I ended up winning majority of the things I needed because of her.

We had a Trust in place but when we realized how out of date it was, we decided it was smart to talk to someone about it.
Colleen and Starr made creating our Trust so easy! The fact that Colleen will check in with us every few years to make sure we can make amendments to the Trust if needed, puts my mind at ease. I am especially excited about the legacy interview that they create to leave for our family after we pass. What I wouldn't do to have video of my grandparents together talking about their lives. Priceless!

I e-mailed John Mittelman a few weeks ago, and within 15 minutes of receiving my e-mail he called me and we set a date and time for a consultation. After sharing my story he accepted my case and I am now one of his clients. John Mittelman was very patient and understanding as my case is very personal and difficult to discuss. I am grateful and relieved to have an attorney who will stand and fight for me.

To be fair John worked with me on the price, provided advice on how to fill out my own forms and reviewed them for me. however in the end when I went to settlement hearing he didn't accompany me to help me negotiate the settlement. I like John as a person but feel like he wasn't really there for me when I really needed him.

I hired John for a medical malpractice case about 1 year ago....without going into the details, this was the most terrifying experience of my life - not just for me, but for my family. My prior experience with many lawyers had been negative in that I never really felt that they cared more about me than the case or the settlement - not true with John! Not only did he ALWAYS put my interests first, he always took the time to explain everything to me and my family with incredible patience and detail. Not only did we win our case, but my family gained a wonderful friend. I recommend John to anyone!

Don't confuse her for an advocate for the abused.
She has high rates & shows little compassion for abused women & children. During consultation, she checks her cell phone often, and has people come in and out of the conference room. She's dismissive and seems arrogant. 🚩
She seems to like the thrill of the games of the court system and in it for money $$ and power. I will not hire Michelle Brooker JD.

Ms. Brooker and Ms. Lord & their team are amazing. I have referred very close people to her and clients of mine who have told me their distressing situations and I have heard such wonderful things from each of them. Michelle is compassionate, caring and from what I’ve seen and been told, she is a fighter. I got to meet her and she told me about her personal story and why she does what she does and the fact that her purpose is to make sure no one stands alone and to give them the best representation possible because she didn’t have it, is so inspiring. If you know a loved one who is dealing with a difficult marriage, divorce, custody issues or if they are looking to adopt a loved one into their life, Lord & Brooker is the way to go. Their legal assistant, Fatima, is absolutely lovely as well. She is so caring, so welcoming and kind on the phone and having that personal touch the moment you call the office is so important and made me feel seen. Thank you, Michelle, for taking care of my friends and my clients!!

I can't thank Elizabeth Lord and her office staff enough for their incredible support during my CPS/negotiation custody case. My experience with Lord & Brooker APC was exceptional, great customer service and remarkable empathy toward my situation. Mrs. Lord made me feel safe and secure throughout the whole process. Answering my questions and easing the stress I was experiencing. Elizabeth Lord helped me dismissed my CPS case with only one court appearance. I highly recommend Lord and Brooker APC for any family law, custody negotiation and CPS case. Elizabeth Lord is simply the best in her field.
Thank you Lord and Brooker APC for representing me.

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.
