I’ve never needed a lawyer for anything, but John who was assigned to the case and the administrative team lead by Angela shattered every negative stereotype I'd heard about lawyers. They were always polite, professional and a pleasure to work with. The communication and follow through was amazing! My sincere gratitude and appreciation for the time and effort of the Lem Garcia Law team which lead to a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for anything more.

Unfortunately I got a DUI. The attorney immediately went to work getting me a DMV hearing so I can keep my license! What I love about attorney Oscar is that he’s not going to simply do a plea, he fights to get it DISMISSED! If your looking for a DUI lawyer, I cannot recommend Attorney Oscar enough!

Ramon is an honest and straight-forward attorney who helped our family tremendously. We went from having visitation every other weekend to eventually obtaining full legal and physical custody. Ramon helped prove our case to the court and always had our best interest in mind. He always led us in the right direction and we are grateful for his assistance. I would not hesitate to recommend Ramon to anyone seeking an attorney.

Fantastic attorney. I initially spoke with another attorney who seemed eager to get sales or business at all costs and spooked me into researching further. I happened upon The Law Office of Daniel Flores who was very honest and I appreciated his viewpoints and guidance in our initial phone call. He was not pushy to close on business and you can tell he maintains a level of integrity some more greedy lawyers wouldve gladly tried to force a retainer signing. I retained Mr. Flores for a rather pricy traffic citation with realistic expectations, expecting the worst and for him to simply soften the blow of the citation. He was able to get my case dismissed which exceeded anything I expected. I know he doesn't practice as much in this area of law as he used to but he was was able to achieve great results. I highly appreciated his candidness and honesty when discussing my case. Highly recommend!

Was referred to the Law Office of Daniel Flores through a family friend and was not disappointed. Considering the fact that he represented me while he was based in Los Angeles while my case was in San Diego. Daniel always assured me with his insight and explanations of the case never left me unsure. Always feeling like I was aware of the extremely complex rules and laws behind the justice system. Overall Daniel was extremely helpful, careful and caring representative for my situation. Will definitely be recommending Daniel to people.

I had an outstanding experience with Salah Law Group, and I highly recommend their services! It was incredibly refreshing to speak directly with the attorney, rather than a secretary, which made the entire process much more personal and efficient. Ali Saleh, in particular, did an amazing job handling my case. He was professional, responsive, and took swift action to resolve my matter. Not only did he get me the treatment I needed immediately, but the case was resolved in a timely manner, which was a huge relief. This law group truly goes above and beyond and deserves more than a 5-star rating. I’m so grateful for their excellent service and support!

Mama of 3 boys, my eldest is Autistic and the accident occurred on his birthday, the stress and confusion and anxiety of just the impact itself, was overwhelming, the "processes" after were overbearing! This whole situation was painful, emotionally, financially, physically, you name it! I am beyond grateful, not just for the ease and support the law firm gave me, but the comfort, the reassurance, the compassion AND care, Anna Viramontes from this law office, gave my children. My kids were smiling as our family healed. They jumped into taxis happy. They rode buses giggling. These aren't things you can "Pay to fix".
Thank you Anna, truly.

It's crazy how all these reviews are bad about the attorney and his office. I had a car accident and they handled my case prompt and professionally got me a Dr and handled my case fine. One thing these bad reviews don't understand and they make it seem like they were the only client they needed to attened to i knew i was one of many many many cases they were handling. The bad reviews are from money hungry clients who think they need to cater to them. I would definitely recommend this office and this attorney they know what they are doing

I chose Mauro Fiore Jr law firm because he mentions that he cares for his clients. He said his staff is “experienced, courteous, and knowledgeable.”
I soon discovered that my experience would be the inverse and contrary to how he represents himself and his staff to be according to his website.
In the whole first month, I had one telephone conversation with his Associate Yolanda Torres. I called to her for information on my case, and to let her know about my pain. I wanted legal advice and left numerous messages for her. Not once did she return a phone call. I felt totally disrespected and after receiving reassurance from my husband, I walked into the office unannounced. I literally had to demand attention from her. The Office Staff were unbelievably rude and treated my husband and I as if we were the problem and not them. If not for Veronica Barraza, my negotiator, I would never have stayed with this office. What Yolanda Torres, Mauro Fiore and the Office Staff personnel never realized, was that my husband had been the liaison for Keisel, Boucher and Larson – the Counsel for 508 Victims of Clergy Abuse. He was picked by the Victims’ Attorney Firms to personally negotiate with Roger Mahony the settlement that resulted in $660 million dollars being awarded to the most aggrieved victims of horrific abuse. My husband Doug understands the value of empathy and knows that it is essential to treat every client with dignity. His mantra has always been “Everybody Counts or Nobody Counts”.
My husband advised me to communicate my dissatisfaction to Mr. Fiore directly. I proceeded to leave a message on his voicemail expecting a response. I received nothing. Not even a return phone call from Mr. Fiore. I never heard from Mauro Fiore or Yolanda Torres again. I called, and called, and left messages with the front desk, and on her voicemail, but to no avail.
Again after 3 months of therapy, I called to let her know that I was discharged from my therapy sessions and for her to start collecting my bills and start negotiations. November came, and I still had not received one phone call from her or the office. Finally my husband expressed how stunning it was that the Principal Attorney had never taken the time to answer my call. It was apparent that Mr. Fiore and Ms. Torres had no respect whatsoever for their own client (ME - his wife), and we both decided to go to the office unannounced to get some action. Shockingly, the front Office blamed us for their own lack of respect and one woman actually told us that “they did not care about our business”. It was then we found out that Ms. Torres no longer handled my case. Is it so hard to pick up the phone after hundreds of calls from her client to let me know that? She has no respect and knowledge of how to handle a client.
Finally, the only knowledgeable and trustworthy person stepped in at that time. This was Veronica Barraza. She was pleasant and kept her word. I believe she tried hard to get the best results for me.
Unfortunately, in the end, Mr. Fiore did not even have the class to apologize for anything or even introduce himself to me or my husband. The Office Staff displayed extreme ignorance when my husband mentioned that he was going to post a poor review of their performance on Avvo. Upon hearing the word “AVVO” they looked dumfounded and needed us to inform them about AVVO. They didn’t even know what you guys do. I wonder why Mauro Fiore’s employees leave so soon after they start.

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.
