As the designated Successor Trustee living out of state I spoke to several Estate Attorneys in San Diego County. My decision to retain Weiner Law proved to be the right decision.
The attorney assigned to assist me, Mr. Joseph Park, always returned my calls and emails promptly, answering my questions and advising me with sound legal advice.
Mr. Park was assisted by a superb support team, Miriam and Sheena. I am pleased to add my five star rating to the other eighty clients that have overall rated Weiner Law with five stars.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with John Clune and the rest of the team at Guy Levy Law. This was my first time needing an injury lawyer (and hopefully my last) and I feel so lucky that I found John. I’ve seen so many family members and friends go through nightmare situations with attorneys and cases; I had the complete opposite experience. I was mauled by two Pit Bulls that left me severely injured and out of work. While enduring one of the most painful and stressful situations of my entire life, John made me feel like he was truly fighting for me every step of the way. His effort and skill as a lawyer helped me come out on top with my extraordinarily complicated case. I’m so grateful for him and the rest of the team.

Being represented by John Clune changed my life - do not take those words lightly. He was able to successfully argue my case in front of a jury which decided to award me 4 times what the insurance company was offering to settle. Truly, a life changing sum but he was also extremely professional and knowledgable throughout the entire process.

A lawyer that cares and does the right thing 🤯 This guy didn’t represent me or take any money from me but spoke to me on 4 different occasions to help me with a workers compensation situation. Nobody would take my case and he explained why. He didn’t take my case but still helped me out FOR FREE. Seriously, give this guys a call if the law is in your side he will help you… maybe for free 😂

I had the pleasure of being represented by Tanya Sanscartier from Happ Law Group during my divorce case, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Despite other firms saying there wasn't enough time for my case, Happ Law Group didn't hesitate to take me on as a client. Tanya was incredibly organized, knowledgeable, and compassionate throughout the entire process. Tanya took the time to understand my situation (which involved a divorce case spanning two states), provided clear guidance, and always kept me informed. Her expertise and dedication to my case ensured a fair outcome, and I felt supported every step of the way. Furthermore, Tanya’s ability to balance the necessary legal procedures with cost efficiency ensured that I received excellent representation without unnecessary expenses. I highly recommend Tanya and Happ Law Group to anyone in need of an outstanding family law attorney.

During my employment as a nurse, I experienced verbal abuse from a patient that
caused significant distress and sleeplessness. Uncertain about the appropriate steps
to take, I discovered Mr. Patrick through online resources. Engaging his services, he
championed my case and provided comprehensive explanations of the legal
proceedings. He maintained consistent communication, keeping me informed
throughout. Moreover, he successfully secured a settlement that eased financial
burdens by covering medical expenses and compensating for lost income. I'm deeply
relieved to have connected with him and would enthusiastically endorse his services
to those seeking assistance with stress claims.

I was referred to Matan months after my accident. I wasn't sure if he would be able to help me considering so much time had passed. He was able to negotiate a very fair settlement for me. I was most impressed with his ability to communicate with me each step of the case so I could easily understand. I would strongly recommend Matan to anyone involved in an auto accident.

As soon as I hired Michael, things started to move forward with my workers comp case. He found me two doctors, got me an MRI -first imagining done on me since accident! -, got me 24/7 caregiving, a walker and a wheelchair, and, above all, got my case moving forward until settlement. Moreover, he made himself available for any questions I had. Michael is excellent at what he does! He gets results. I am grateful to him for the time, work, efficiency, and determination he invested in my case and, ultimately, in my wellbeing. I absolutely recommend him. Thank you so so much, Michael!

I originally hired the hack lawyers Beach Cities Legal. After six months of my claim being denied and complete lack of care I fired them and hired Mr Rott. Quickly my claim was accepted and I got the medical attention I needed.
I had Mr Rotts cell phone number and he always answered my calls. He attended most of my Dr appointments and was very active in my care.
I never saw the inside of a courtroom.
He brought me from being denied to a $2.5 million settlement.
I can’t recommend him and his staff enough.

My case was not a simple one. The attorneys I had worked with previously seemed content with the situation I was in, but I was not. I found Michael through a search on this website and I am grateful I did. Within a short time, I had treatment I had not been able to get in years and things began moving forward with my case again. Each person in his office whom I have had contact with has been polite, knowledgeable and helpful. Would most definitely recommend him.

I hired Jon because I wanted a fighter. I talked with Jon was convinced he was the right lawyer for me from the get-go. His commitment to excellence is superb! He is detail oriented, easy to communicate with, and very accessible. I truly value Jon's dedication, hard work, and determination and interest in my case and well-being. Jon explained things in terms I could understand, he gave me options, where I thought I had none, and just made the whole experience as non-terrifying as possible. Highly recommend if you are in need of an attorney!

If you are looking for a lawyer that's honest with you from day one, then Jonathan's your man! If you're looking for a lawyer who will not back down and fight an amazing fight, then Jonathan's your man! If you are looking for a lawyer that will follow through with everything he says, then Jonathan is for you!
I was injured because of the negligence of the company I worked for. And since there are laws protecting the employer and not necessarily the employee, Jonathan never sugar coated anything, he gave it to me blatant and honest, and I appreciated that!! The company I worked for was not forthright, they did not return phone calls, and they drug this thing out a lot longer than need be. But Jonathan never gave up, he always returned my phone calls, and he made me feel like I mattered! He was so up front during my consultation, I ended up getting the exact amount he said my case was worth. If I could give Jonathan more than 5 stars I would. Trust me, if you are looking for a lawyer that is going to fight hard for you, than Jonathan's the lawyer for you!

I recommend him without reservation.

Well I got injured at work it took almost 3 months to get any compensation from the company and I wasn't getting anywhere so I had to call an attorney.I gave the law Brothers a shot I told him my situation and Elias said he can help me with my case. I was relieved and it all started from there he was professional, courteous and he did a great job on getting this company to finally compensate me. He got results quick and if I didn't get an attorney I'd still be fighting this company he had my back the whole way!

Mr. Golchin was my lawyer for a case which a careless driver passed the red light at a intersection and hit my car so badly. My car was totaled and I was screened by the emergency. Unfortunately, the other driver did not acknowledge her fault, initially. But becasue of high endeavors, efforts, and consistency of Mr. Golchin, the other driver's insurance take the responsibility of the accident and paid the maximum available amount for my medical expenses and etc.
Mr Golchin is available almost 24/7 for answering your concerns and providing you with the helpful advice. He replies all the emails promptly. All the paperwork were done remotely (online) and there was no need to meet him in person. I highly appreciate Mr. Golchin skills, patience, supports, and efforts for finely settling my difficult case.

In 2014, when I was stranded in Tijuana, MX after escaping political persecution in my home country (long story), I frantically looked for an immigration attorney to seek asylum in the US. I shot off emails to several SD attorneys, asking them questions the answers to which I already knew to gauge their: 1) responsiveness and 2) expertise.
You'd be surprised how often lawyers provide the wrong answers even during the first consultation. No way I'm paying a single cent to any lawyer who doesn't know the law.
It turned out that Mr Golchin was the only who responded promptly AND correctly. Not only that, he PERSONALLY TRAVELED DOWN TO MEXICO just to meet me, and this was before I even retained him. That just goes to show his sheer dedication and willingness to go the extra mile in performing his duties. He left an extremely positive impression so I retained him.
When I was in immigration detention, he worked tirelessly to liaise with ICE officers to get me released ASAP and also visited me personally. With his assistance, I was finally paroled into the US. When the time came to file for a work permit and to file for asylum (I-589), Mr Golchin prepared the necessary form and documents conscientiously and accurately so as to prevent unnecessary delays.
When I had to defend my case in court in Los Angeles, Mr Golchin traveled more than a handful of times to my city to represent me in court. Though not a loud/flamboyant lawyer, he knows the law extremely well, he makes a huge effort to acquaint himself with the facts of your case, and when arguing he adopts a deliberate, collected, yet persuasive tone to convince the immigration judge of his position. Mr Golchin and I have always prepared through Skype conferences or personal meetings right before any court appearance.
Most importantly, Mr Golchin won my case for me (I'm finally a US asylee) at first instance, and the government attorney had also promised not to appeal the decision. I think, after all said and done, this is the most important point. I wouldn't be singing praises if my case had to go to appeal. I've also always felt comfortable consulting Mr Golchin on not only immigration matters but also other legal matters. He has been of assistance to me in legal matters beyond immigration.
In short, I'd highly recommend Mr Golchin for your immigration-related matters. He's the perfect combination of legal expertise and also genuine care and attentiveness for his clients.

This lawyer and his paralegal Pamela were amazing. They helped me when no one else would. Also referred me to the attorney best suited for my case, and still represented me ongoing because this is the type of lawyer he is. Was given absolutely critical information I needed and was not getting from anyone else. I'm in Fresno, CA and they are expanding out here to the central valley. Based in Tulare County and San Diego, they are expanding and I'm glad they are and hope lawyers like Rory and Paralegals like Pamela keep expanding. Keep contacting this attorney if you need help. He has expertise in so many different fields and will get the job done and has a network of friends that will if he cannot go as far with you. I recommend Rory to anyone who needs legal advise or defense. And his paralegal Pamela is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way possible. Don't skip this team of people ready to stand your ground with and for you.

Mr. Brody was my third work/comp attorney. I don't recall who recommended him to me, but I'm sure glad they did. The pain of my injury was severe for many years and long term pain leads to a whole cascade of other medical issues. The first two attorneys were essentially worthless, letting me flounder for years, never following up on things, not returning my calls, not letting me know what was going on, what my options were, not making sure I was getting the proper medical treatment, not even listening to me. Mr. Brody was and is the opposite of all of that. By the time we met my case was a long, large, complicated mess. Most days I could barely even think and my mother, then in her 80s, did most of the driving. He listened to me and he explains things patiently, even if he has to do it over and over, which he had to because of my pain level, all the meds I was on and even because I was just worn out and depressed. I also lucked into an excellent doctor, after seeing many who didn't even believe I was in pain, and between the two of them they fought for me. It was over 11 years before my evil work/comp company finally relented and allowed me to get an intrathecal pump for the pain and I know Mr. Brody was a huge part of that. After the pain was at a livable, but not workable, level (meaning I still can't work,) I just wanted to be done with it and settle. I was physically and emotionally exhausted. He wouldn't let me. He kept saying, "I think we can get more money." He wasn't saying this because he wanted more money, he was saying that because he knew better than I did that I would need it. Six and a half more years later, the settlement amount was definitely more, and I'm so glad he wouldn't let me quit because even with the three times what I was willing to settle for, I now see it still wasn't enough. My case was over 17 years long before we settled. So thank God he fought some more. Over five years later I had some glitch with Social Security and they wanted numbers and dates that I just didn't have and couldn't remember. I called Mr. Brody's office, hoping he hadn't retired, for the info. I left a message and he returned my call less than 24 hours later. I faxed him some info from Social Security and just hours after that he calls me back with the information I needed. If you have a work related injury, call this man. You can't do any better. He will fight for you and he truly cares, as well.

Gerald has stayed weekend going over the scads of documents in preparation of this case. Prior to Gerald taking over I spent many years of uncertainty. My case isn't settled but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel for once. It takes time and patients to deal with work comp and he most certainly has those qualities.

The first time I spoke to Samuel Dagan I felt at ease and comfortable. The entire team at this firm was responsive and professional which was much appreciated. Everything that Samuel predicted would happen in my Workman's Comp case came true. He was able to find medical professionals to help me as well as negotiate a settlement that came much sooner than I expected. He assured me many times and was able to ease my anxiety and stress in my difficult situation. Listen to him because he was right on in my case.

I feel very lucky to have found Brandi Kurlander. She was a total LIFE SAVER.
I was in a car accident and after it I was suffering from terrible migraines and a lot of other pain. The insurance for the person who hit me kept calling day after day to talk to me after the accident. I was barely sleeping and they kept calling me when I was finally resting. I decided I needed someone else to deal with all of this, as I could not, and that is when I hired Brandi. Again, I feel very lucky to have found Brandi Kurlander. The calls stopped and she was on the case. Brandi and her staff kept me apprised at every step and I was allowed to do some healing.
I haven't been through something like this before, so having an expert like Brandi handling this for me was an excellent call on my part. Brandi made sure I got the proper treatment that was needed and dealt with the automobile insurance company to ensure I was compensated for my medical bills and pain and suffering. I felt that Brandi worked extremely hard on my case and because of this I feel like the settlement she negotiated for me was exceptional. I cannot say enough POSITIVE PRAISE about Brandi and I would highly recommend her to all of my family and friends.

Brandi steered us through the confusing and often times scary decisions involved with a complicated Workers Comp case. Her advice and guidance ensured that my work place injury wasn't going to have the devastating impact on our financial future that we feared it would. Without Brandi we know we wouldn't have received anywhere near the final settlement that we arrived at had it not been for her. Insurance companies have the power and leverage to make the average person seem small and inconsequential, but Brandi held their feet to the fire and come to the table with a fare settlement that exceeded our expectations. We could not recommend anyone any higher and only hope that your involvement with her is as rewarding as ours was.

I was referred to Bill by another attorney that my brother in law was using at the time while being in Northern California and dealing with a out of state attorney that i fired. When Bill picked up the pieces he moved swiftly and communicated with me every step of the way if i had questions he would answer them in a timely manner. I was in a car accident and had to have two surgerys and had lots of questions. Within a week i had a Dr appointment and a check in the mail to pay for it. Before you know it my case was won! Bill did an amazing job along with his assistant Claudia! I would highly recommend Bender & Gritz and I will be using Bender & Gritz in the future when needed!

Workers compensation is a black hole that sucks money from workers and companies while providing no medical service. Denial is now at 100% because the law is on their side. Mr. Harris explained the system and what we need to do in order to bring about the needed changes to the horribly flawed system.

Prior to meeting Christi, I had a rather dismal view of attorneys in general. All my experiences had taught me they were not to be trusted, that they only cared about themselves and were unscrupulous barracudas looking to profit from conflict escalation rather than resolution. Christi Hill changed my opinion of lawyers - she was incredibly professional, patient and so helpful. I let her know upfront that my financial situation was not great and she actually listened. She did not treat me like her least important client. Rather, I got the impression she made my case a priority. I'm convinced that all of her clients get the same treatment. I had let several tickets lapse and had some failure-to-appears on my record which resulted in a bench warrant as well as a suspended license. Events in my life caused a bad situation to snowball into a large problem. She did not judge me or make me feel like a loser, though I came to her with my tail between my legs. She quickly got on the case and before I knew it had a plan of attack that involved her showing up to court on my behalf to deal with the bench warrant. She got my fines out of collections and arranged for me to have 6 months to pay a much smaller amount than I ever thought possible! She then set-up court dates and advised me on what to say and do in order to save me money. Her fee was very reasonable considering how much work she had to do on my behalf. She even let me pay her in a few installments after retaining her services. She is also the kindest person (let alone attorney) I've met in a long time! I wholly recommend Christi Hill as a hard-working, dedicated lawyer with integrity. Thank you, Christi!

I had an insurance claim that the insurance company quickly denied coverage for. An attorney friend referred Mr. Les Robertson to me because he's an expert in insurance coverage and has a great reputation. Since the first conversation, Mr. Robertson was warm, empathetic, and very clear at explaining the law related to my situation. He told me the insurance should have provided the coverage and was willing to help. In a surprise turn, the insurance company changed their mind a couple of days later and decided to cover for the claim. I didn't need to work with Mr Robertson further but I will not hesitate at all to reach out to him again if there is a need. Highly recommend him!

Rick Custin was recommend to me by a friend who assisted him on a previous matter. It was a pleasure working with Rick and I am so glad he was with me every step of the way in my hearing process.
In my distraught state of attempting to navigate the court system and find resolution, Rick went above and beyond what I expected. He educated me on the court system processes, did a superior job at researching my options based on previous court cases and represented me in the most ethical and helpful manner I could have asked.
Not only does he have superb litigation skills, but also Rick was extremely personable and supportive in working with me and I am grateful for his expertise and passion for the legal system and those he represents.

What a Workers’ Compensation Lawyer Can Do for You
A workers’ compensation lawyer specializes in helping employees who are injured or become ill as a result of their job to receive the benefits they are entitled to under workers' compensation laws. These lawyers represent injured workers in claims for medical benefits, wage replacement, and other compensation related to workplace injuries or illnesses. They also help when claims are denied, benefits are delayed, or disputes arise with the employer or the insurance company.
Whether you've been injured on the job, developed an occupational illness, or are dealing with a denied workers' compensation claim, a workers’ compensation lawyer can help you navigate the claims process and ensure you receive the full benefits you deserve.
When Should I Hire a Workers' Compensation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a workers' compensation lawyer in several situations, especially when complications arise during the claims process or when your rights as an injured worker are being challenged. Some common reasons to hire a workers' compensation lawyer include:
- Claim denial: If your workers' compensation claim has been denied, a lawyer can help you appeal the decision and represent you in hearings or litigation.
- Inadequate benefits: If the insurance company offers you a settlement that doesn’t cover your medical expenses, lost wages, or other damages, a lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for a fair amount.
- Delay in receiving benefits: If your benefits are being delayed, a lawyer can help expedite the process to ensure you receive timely compensation.
- Permanent disability: If your injury leads to permanent disability (partial or total), a lawyer can help you navigate the more complex process of securing long-term benefits.
- Retaliation by employer: If your employer retaliates against you for filing a workers' compensation claim (e.g., by firing or demoting you), a lawyer can protect your rights and pursue legal action.
- Third-party liability: If a third party (e.g., a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was responsible for your injury, a lawyer can help you pursue additional compensation through a personal injury lawsuit.
- Pre-existing conditions: If your employer or the insurance company claims that your injury is related to a pre-existing condition, a lawyer can help you present evidence showing that the injury was work-related.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can prevent delays, avoid mistakes, and ensure you receive all the benefits you’re entitled to under workers' compensation law.
What Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Do?
A workers' compensation lawyer provides a range of legal services to injured workers, ensuring that they receive the benefits they deserve. Their tasks often include:
- Filing claims: Helping injured workers prepare and file their workers' compensation claims to ensure accuracy and timeliness.
- Appealing denied claims: Representing workers whose claims have been denied and guiding them through the appeals process, including hearings and court appearances.
- Negotiating settlements: Negotiating with insurance companies to secure fair compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
- Handling disputes: Resolving disputes between the injured worker, the employer, and the insurance company regarding the amount of compensation or the nature of the injury.
- Coordinating medical evidence: Gathering and presenting medical records, expert testimony, and other evidence to support the workers' compensation claim.
- Advocating for benefits: Ensuring that injured workers receive all the benefits they’re entitled to, including temporary or permanent disability benefits, vocational rehabilitation, and medical treatment.
- Filing third-party lawsuits: In cases where a third party is responsible for the injury, a workers' compensation lawyer may also pursue a personal injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
How Are Workers’ Compensation Lawyers Paid?
Workers' compensation lawyers typically charge a contingency fee, meaning they only get paid if they successfully recover benefits for you. This fee is usually a percentage of the benefits awarded, and the specific percentage is often regulated by state law. Here's how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer's fee is typically between 15% and 25% of the total benefits awarded to you. You don’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and the lawyer’s fee comes out of the settlement or benefit award.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer doesn’t recover any benefits for you, you generally don’t have to pay for their services.
- State regulations on fees: Many states cap the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge, and some states require the fee to be approved by the workers' compensation board or judge.
Be sure to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Workers' Compensation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a workers' compensation lawyer typically depends on the contingency fee arrangement, meaning the lawyer’s fee will be a percentage of the benefits you receive. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: Most workers' compensation lawyers charge between 15% and 25% of the total settlement or benefits awarded. For example, if you receive $50,000 in benefits, the lawyer’s fee would range from $7,500 to $12,500.
- State regulations: Some states limit the percentage that workers' compensation lawyers can charge. In these cases, the fee is usually capped, often at 20% to 25%, depending on state law.
- Additional costs: Some lawyers may charge for out-of-pocket expenses, such as filing fees, medical records retrieval, and expert witness testimony, though these costs are typically deducted from the settlement after the case is won.
You should always ask for a clear explanation of fees and potential additional costs during your consultation so you understand the financial arrangement.
Top Questions to Ask a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
Before hiring a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with workers' compensation cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your injury is severe or the case involves disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and whether there are any additional costs you need to be aware of. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes. -
Have you handled cases like mine before?
Find out if the lawyer has experience dealing with cases involving similar injuries or disputes, such as denied claims or permanent disability. -
How long will the process take?
While it’s difficult to predict an exact timeline, the lawyer should be able to provide a general estimate based on their experience with similar cases. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of your case. Make sure you know who will be working on your claim.
How to Check the Credibility of a Workers' Compensation Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable workers' compensation lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing, with no disciplinary actions against them.
- Look for workers' compensation experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in workers' compensation law and have successfully handled cases similar to yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s expertise and service.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients who can speak to their experience in workers' compensation cases.
- Check for professional affiliations: Membership in organizations like the Workers' Injury Law & Advocacy Group (WILG) or local bar association committees on workers' compensation can indicate the lawyer’s commitment to this area of law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a workers' compensation lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Accident report or incident documentation: Bring any documentation related to your workplace injury or illness, including accident reports or notifications to your employer.
- Medical records: Provide copies of medical records, including treatment notes, doctor’s reports, and any information related to your injury or condition.
- Employer correspondence: Bring any letters, emails, or forms related to your claim from your employer or the workers' compensation insurance company.
- Wage and benefits information: Provide information on your wages, benefits, and any lost income due to the injury.
- List of questions: Prepare questions about your case, the process, costs, and what to expect moving forward.
- Timeline of events: Prepare a timeline of the incident, your injury, and any medical treatment or communication with your employer and the insurance company.
Being well-prepared for your consultation will allow the lawyer to assess your case more effectively and provide you with the best possible legal advice.
