I cannot recommend Vahid highly enough. He is, without a doubt, the best in the business. From the moment I met him, I could tell he genuinely cares about his clients. He takes the time to listen, explains every step of the process clearly, and ensures you feel supported throughout. His expertise and professionalism are unparalleled, and his compassionate demeanor sets him apart from others in his field. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also kind and understanding, Vahid is the one you want in your corner.

I had so many lawyer that said they would help and didn’t. I could honestly say she is the best! She really cares and fights for you. Motivates you to keep fighting and that life isn’t over after my injury. I would recommend to everyone. She’s honest and will work hard for you. Never made me feel like they didn’t care. Always picked up when I had a question and always gave me the answers I needed. 10/10. I would definitely get them again if something ever happened. The best part she made me feel like family and definitely will be keeping in touch. Super grateful for her and the team.

Yalda is a great workers comp attorney. She has lowest percentage fee around & no charge until your case is settled. I had two claims took approx. little over 2 years to settle both claims . Me myself I believe only took that long because company I was working for was being so difficult and unfair Intheir offers until finally came to realize that they better offer reasonable realistically & stop offering BS or we will keep on fighting for what's right. Get Yalda Yousefi for your attorney you will NOT be disappointed at all between her and her assistant Letty . They are awesome caring & eager to get you what they know your claim or claims are worth no matter how long it takes. I was given her info by someone who had her for their attorney & I'm very happy I hired her for myself Amazing Person & workers comp Attorney .... What are you waiting for pick up the phone and call Yalda Yousefi you won't regret it.

Ever since I started with his services, his staff moved very quickly to start and move my case forward.

I was a 31 year firefighter with VCFD. I had numerous on the job injuries, the worst were cumulative trauma to my back. Trying to use the county’s work comp system was most often slow, unpleasant and a waste of time. Thanks to Mr. Sherwin, I was able to get through the process and receive treatment. By the time I was reaching the end of my career, Mr. Wicke was able to deal with the county’s attorneys and bureaucratic nonsense. In the end, I received a deserved medical retirement. Unfortunately, I still have unresolved medical issues. Mr Sherwin was able to again deal with the Sedgwick (workers comp) and get all my issues settled. In this way I never had to go through the county again and can seek my own treatment through my insurance. This process is much quicker. Days instead of months. There is no way in Ventura County to manage this process without this great team of lawyers.

I would not recommend this firm for anyone. They're terrible and don't give a damn. If you look at their older reviews, you'll be tempted to sign up if they'll take you. They'll make it sound like they're doing you a favor, because they, "...only take high-value cases," etc. And then, they'll be nowhere to be found, and you'll be the bottom of the barrel. Go find a firm with people who actually care, who don't rest on their own laurels, and who will actually fight FOR you, not WITH you (like my first attorney at this firm did). Best of luck if you do choose them. It'll be a Hail Mary! Tina is too busy attending events in fancy dresses and doing interviews these days...I've never had any contact with her.

I am forever grateful for Joy and her whole team! Going through a custody battle is hard enough as it is but Joy and Jeanne made it possible to get through it, I felt at ease when I had the opportunity to meet them both. Both Joy,Jeanne and everyone on their team are very professional and kind hearted. One of the many things I like about them is that they will tell you the truth. I never had any problems when it came down to communication with them every step in the process,every phone call and every question I had was very well answered/communicated. I had two occasions where I was represented by Jeanne and Joy at separate times and they were amazing in court! Joy and her team helped me get through a rough time, I would have Joy represent me again if I needed legal representation . I would highly recommend Kraft Miles their passion and dedication to their work is what makes them great attorneys and I couldn’t have done it without them! Thank you Joy, Jeanne and all of Kraft Miles! My daughter & I will never forget you wonderful people!

The most stressful time of my life was filing for divorce. Joy and her team helped me through this excruciating process, answered all my questions, and provided relevant advice and direction on what to do and what NOT to do. In addition, Joy also provided suggestions on how to keep my legal costs down...which makes her my hero!! On her team, I worked with Karla and Jeanne quite a bit and they were both very quick with responses. This was crucial for me to keep my stress levels down since I had to co-habitat with my ex-husband for almost 9 mos. Karla and Jeanne were available to answer questions and kept me updated as soon as updates were available. Even though my divorce was final in March 2024, I had a question about my final judgment today and Karla responded right away. Thanks Karla...You Rock!! I'd recommended Joy and her paralegal team to anyone who is going through a divorce.

I have talked to Joy several times before asking her to represent me in my divorce. She made me feel taken care of and at ease throughout the process, always advising me about the most beneficial choices available. Her professional knowledge and friendly approach made my divorce as smooth and as short as possible. Her staff - Karla, Irene, and Rosa - have been very helpful managing the clerical steps along the way. I know its next to impossible, but if you want to have a pleasant divorce call Joy Kraft Miles :).

To say this firm outperforms hundreds of others across the state would be a drastic understatement. Tina Odjaghian has devoted her life to one thing: representing the underdog and the voiceless. Her own experiences and challenges have shaped her into an attorney who genuinely cares for her client’s well-being. She doesn't just talk about compassion and dedication; she lives it through her actions. Her team at Odjaghian Law Group consistently go above and beyond to ensure their clients are not only represented but also truly supported during their most difficult times. Their commitment to justice and empathy sets them apart in a field where these qualities are often lacking. Odjaghian Law Group is a beacon of hope and a true advocate for those who need it most.

I would not recommend this firm for anyone. They're terrible and don't give a damn. If you look at their older reviews, you'll be tempted to sign up if they'll take you. They'll make it sound like they're doing you a favor, because they, "...only take high-value cases," etc. And then, they'll be nowhere to be found, and you'll be the bottom of the barrel. Go find a firm with people who actually care, who don't rest on their own laurels, and who will actually fight FOR you, not WITH you (like my first attorney at this firm did). Best of luck if you do choose them. It'll be a Hail Mary! Tina is too busy attending events in fancy dresses and doing interviews these days...I've never had any contact with her.

I can’t thank Benjamin Drake and his team from the Drake Law Firm enough for handling my case against Uber. It is amazing to know that such a kind and caring group of attorneys represent their clients in California against major clients and have a success rate that exceeds anything I could have imagined. I am thrilled with the outcome and would recommend Benjamin and his team to anyone in California needing an injury attorney group.

Can't be specific because of confidentiality clauses. I wasn't impressed at all with him. Seems like an okay guy, but didn't feel like a great attorney. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do, it won't be him. When I worked with him he wasn't with the McCormack Law Firm. I think he has moved.

RUN. Whatever you do DO NOT hire this guy. Incompetence is what he majored in. He mishandled my case, refused to advise me about major components of my case. Then stopped taking my appointments and calls once the case was settled. Major disappointment. If you hire this guy after all these warnings then the results are on you.

This attorney and his staff are horrible at taking care of urgent and time sensative matters and never call back when they advise they will. There is no ugency with this staff and unfortunately the attorney seems liek he is more interested in a quick open and shut claim for the quick dollar rather than prepare for a long dog fight that most of these WC cases demand. I do not suggest ANYONE use this attorney and I feel he should close his doors to prevent anyone being fooled and having the case ruined because of untimely responses

I have to do all the research... he don't inform, is not getting back if there are any questions, his paralegal stuff don't know how to handle the paperwork in timely manner, don't take notes about conversations you have regarding your caes.... and so on.... If you choose this firm , don't be surprised if your case get dismissed and you get nothing...I consulted a different Lawyer to switch...and he answered me " Sorry nothing I can do for you, you should have come earlier to me."

Attorney Montgomery is an attorney I would never use again or refer. She never returns calls, she doesn't hit important deadlines, she has too many things going on at once. She is never there when she says she will be there. Never once did I sit with her over 30 min. for the settlement of a 26 year marriage. She claims she works hard on your case, but she gives you everything to you to do so she doesn't have to spend time on the case. When told not to entertain calls from ex-wife, she did. She was an under performer for the money I gave her. After many months of back in forth with her, I went pro-per and had another attorney help clean up her mess. The last day I had an appointment with her, but her husband "an attorney" threaten not to give me my files after I was suppose to meet with her to sign them and she wasn't there when I got to her office. I asked him where she was at because I had a few questions and he said she's gone and I am taking care of it now. He said I was rude and threaten to call Police/911 because I wanted to speak with her before signing the docs. I needed the docs that day for the ex-wifes attorney deadline. I was forced to sign the docs, but have never forgot how horrible they made a paying client feel and the treatment from a so called "Attorney at Law".

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including the potential challenges and outcomes.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
