Ajay was available right away to listen to my case and give me detailed advice. He called me back soon after to check to see if I had anymore questions and suggested more ways to edit the employer release. He took the time to review the full document and give additional suggestions for revisions. I really appreciate his professionalism and ability to react quickly.

Ajay handled a personal injury case for me a few years ago where I had been rear ended and aggravated an old injury in the collision. He was able to not only get all my medical and chiropractic related expenses covered so I incurred no out-of-pocket expenses, but also got me a financial settlement that I was more than comfortable with. He was timely, extremely professional and prompt in his handling of all aspects of my case, and I would strongly recommend him to other people in need!

I was contacted by Mr. Kwatra after looking for an attorney that dealt with tort lawsuits. He asked a ton of questions and seemed genuinely interested in hearing all the facts of the case. He gave excellent advice during the preliminary stages of the lawsuit which helped guide me towards a successful outcome. He did so well the first time that I have made him my go-to attorney for any and all matters dealing with medical malpractice lawsuits. I would highly recommend Mr. Kwatra for any medical malpractice issues. He will definitely be honest and thorough which is crucial to any successful legal proceeding.

Mr. Buzunis is a joy to work with. He goes slow enough to ensure one understands what is being said and all of the options and is very quick to return calls, e-mails etc... I will be using him for many years to come!

The services provided by Natalie and Nathan have been excellent. With not knowing where to turn for help by chance my cousin that works for an attorney that practices a differnet type of law knew of my situation and recommended, The Holms law group, the absolute best phone call I could have made. They did some much in helping me get the care I needed to fix an injury caused by a bad driver. I never thought i would could be so trusting of individuals other than family. these folks really care and it is easy for me to tell anyone that would need help, by all means give them the opportunity to help. I could not be more satisfied with the results. a dear fried of mine a neighbor has currently enlisted their aid , and is of the same opinion. Natalie or Nathan are more than welcome to forward my contact information to anyone in need of an more personal explanation of how I feel about them and their services.

My young family was in a car accident recently. Thankfully, our injuries were not severe. However, we had to deal with a severely damaged car, minor injuries to my wife and I and the stress of dealing with our two boys (both under the age of 4) who were certainly shaken by the experience. After some initial back and forth with the insurance company on my own, the insurance adjuster made its "final" offer of payment. I was not comfortable with the process and made an appointment with Ms. Holm. She took the time to understand my case (even though I am sure it was a very minor matter for her office). She put together a comprehensive demand letter to the insurance company....and lo and behold....the insurance company DOUBLED their payment offer!! We could not have been happier with the personal attention offered to us by Ms. Holm. We highly recommend her as a legal advisor.

I'll never be able to pay Julia Yoo and Eugene Iredale back. They listened to my story when no one would. When they agreed to represent me I was broken. Over time, I was pleased and satisfied that I had them fight for me. They helped me through the healing process and won a judgement at trial then settled the case for a larger sum. Julia is a civil rights expert and I have the most respect for her.

I was a seventeen year old kid in trouble goig nowhere. When something bad happened to me, no one cared and no one stood up for me. Julia is the only lawyer who even listened to my story. It's been over seven years since she fought for me the way no one else ever did. Since the time she settle my case, I got my GED, never went back to jail, got enough money to take care of my family and I.

I had an excellent experience working with Michelle. She was incredibly responsive and always available when I needed her. I could call or text her anytime. Unlike other firms where you have to deal with multiple attorneys or receptionists, I truly valued having her as my single point of contact throughout the entire process.
From start to finish, Michelle was dedicated, professional, and effective. She fought hard to secure a great settlement for me, and her communication skills were outstanding. I always felt informed and in the loop during every step of the process.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who provides personalized attention, truly takes the time to understand her clients, and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend Michelle. I couldn’t be happier with her representation!

Michelle Gershen was the biggest helping hand to my family and I, solving and guiding us step by step through a case that had brought so much change to my life. She is clear and bright with her plans, comforting and reassuring with her words and most importantly will try her very best to go over and beyond with what she knows a client deserves based on their situation. I would recommend her for anybody in need of a trustworthy and hard working attorney who gets the job done in a swift and amazing way, making sure you understand and agree with the process every point of the way.

I was in a motorcycle accident over a year ago and met Carlie Bouslaugh at Gomez trial attorneys. She was very patient with me as I received treatment for my injury and always checked up on me to give me updates. She helped explain the entire process and made sure I understood everything. I was lucky to have Carlie representing me. Carlie is very knowledgeable about the law and very intelligent. She also really cares about her clients. A year later, I have a received a large settlement all thanks to Carlie Bouslaugh. If you want a great lawyer that cares about her client, Carlie is the one.

Ms. Dupuy is a fantastic defense counsel! She has the capability to explain in detail and simple terms the terminology and process of any legal situation you are in. She is very intelligent and well informed. Based on my personal experience her greatest strength is her communication skills. During the time she was helping me she remained, consistent, kind, and she communicated promptly which was extremely helpful. I was extremely lucky to have found her!!

Matan Drelich is an excellent attorney who not only fights for you against insurance companies, he also makes sure you get a nice settlement even if his own portion is less than agreed when you first sign.

Mr Drelich is an outstanding lawyer, who fought for me to receive a fair settlement. Matan gives his all to my case and was always available to talk with you. I had so many questions and Matan took the time to explain procedures, paperwork and terminology of the justice system. In addition, he took the time to research every aspect of my case and kept me informed the entire time. I’m so happy I made the call to his office and I will never be able to thank him enough.

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!

My wife and I have been working with her oldest brother (85 yrs old) to help him with a Will and a Living Trust. For the past 3 years we have traveled from our home in Durand Mi. to San Diego to provide him with advice and provide any help he may need to get everything right. The more we worked the more complicated and confusing this procedure became, OMG were we Stumped. This year we decided we needed professional help. So, what do you do when your 2000 miles away and don't really know anybody in a big city like San Diego, GOOGLE IT! That's exactly what we did and came up with a bunch of names of attorneys that claim to be the best anywhere. We started making calls to see who we liked the best and would be able to take care of our issues. We left voice mails and asked to have someone contact us to set up a meeting. We encountered a few who were vague and after listening to what we needed really didn’t seem too interested. Then Jason, called us and we were so happy with his attitude and wiliness to complete the needed documents on a very short notice. Everyone in that firm seemed to want to help us get everything right, signed, and registered they even worked through the weekend. So, we could rest assured that we wouldn't be caught up in a nightmare with the probate courts. Thank you, Jason, and Ashley what a great feeling to know we made the right decision when we chose you

The team was amazing in helping us with our will and trust! They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient with us as we figure out the best path forward to suit some of our very particular needs. It’s obviously not a fun or easy topic to discuss and they were so understanding of that giving us options and suggestions that could be relevant to us. And allowing us the time we needed to sort things out amongst our family. Sometimes we wouldn’t be able to resolve things easily so we would be at a standstill for a while between me and my husband but they were great about checking in regularly without creating any additional pressure. We also had some personal and particular road blocks that we come up against and Ashley was wonderful in giving us options and guidance around that. Both she and Jason were so kind and personable and professional. We had talked to several places before coming here and I’m so glad we did!

Ray has [unfortunately] represented me twice for two separate accidents the past few years. He is very communicative, always kept me up to date on the case, and always asked how I was doing. I don’t ever wish a car accident on anyone, but if you have been injured in one, Ray is the one to go to!

Ray was recommended by a family member for his amazing work and how he took care of them, and well he did not disappoint not only answering any questions I had but answering calls when needed. But also making sure he did what he could so my case was treated fairly by the other parties and I was given the proper compensation for what had happened. I would highly recommend Ray for anybody out there that is in need of an attorney and that needs help with an accident case.

I completed a 7 week jury trial with Mr. Majd. Not many attorneys go to trial, let alone a trial that lasts almost two months. Trial lawyers get the best results. Period. We fought hard in court before a jury and judge who complimented us for fighting on behalf of a woman who alleged significant harm to her home. Anyone would be lucky to have Mr. Majd on his or her case. - Max A. Gruenberg

Mr. Nasseri and his secretary are beyond awesome. They helped me handle a forfeiture case with the district attorney. Saman was communicative, very informative and had so much patience when it came to waiting on documents I needed to get.
If you want a lawyer that is for the people and not just in it for the money then I recommend Nasseri Legal. 🤗

Jordon and Taylor were incredible to work with. They were very communicative throughout the entire process and always made sure I was on board with what was going on with the situation. I couldn't have worked with a better team at all. They were also always very quick to respond to any questions I had. They were consistent and professional while also being very understanding and patient. They helped in so many different ways and I appreciate their help greatly. Would highly recommend these two!

Jordan was and is one of the worst lawyers I ever had to deal with in my life.
I contacted him because he was a referral from a friend seeking help for being wrongfully terminated from a job.
At first he seemed very caring and understanding and on my side and then as the days went by it was like I was an annoyance to him.
Anytime I would ask a question through text about something he was doing he would talk down to me like I was a child.
He has a huge ego and on a high horse.
At one point my family advised me to ask a question about something he was doing and oh my god did I get a wrath from him, even Jordan saying "is your mother a lawyer? I am a lawyer, do not question my actions"
I just couldn't even believe it, it went from telling me that I was going to get a huge settlement to making me feel worthless and the enemy in the case. After a few months of Jordan going ghost he had his office message me that they were not going to continue with the case and gave me a referral.
It was more then 6 months waste of time and I couldn't even do anything after that it was too late to even have a case after that long of waiting
The owner of the place I was wrongfully terminated even offered a settlement and Jordan refused it saying he could get more money.
So in the end I got absolutely nothing because he didn't want to take the case anymore. Highly do not recommend this guy. Some lawyers especially this one are way to high on a horse to be brought down to reality.

I was very lost and had no idea where to go or find the necessary help. Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time. I infinitely appreciate all his help and I would not hesitate to recommend them or go to them again in the future if I need legal help. Thank you very much!

I was referred to Richard Prager by another attorney who spoke very highly of him. Although Richard was not able to take my case, he spent quality time referring me to other attorneys within his network and helped me find an attorney who could assist me. I was amazed by his generosity and how much he cared for someone who he was not being paid to assist. I have no doubt that he takes very good care of his clients. I highly recommend him.

I would like to say a sincere thank you to Mr. Richard Prager. Richard was outstanding in handling our car accident and injury case. We were recommended to him by a friend of ours and both my wife and I were taken care of from the start. He kept us informed on every aspect of our case, always asking what we wanted to do. Richard was very efficient and responsive to every question we had. He was also, easy to contact. He alway returned our calls. I've never wrote a review before, but I would recommend Richard and the Law Offices of Charles Roseman to everyone who needs a personal injury attorney.

I want to thank Chris and his team for representing me through a high conflict divorce. Chris is a brilliant attorney who treats his clients as if they were his own family. He is very dedicated in ensuring that his clients are always his priority. He represented me with full dedication and always made me his priority. I went through 3 attorneys until I found the right one, and it was definitely Chris who made a huge impact in my life. I highly recommend anyone going through a high conflict divorce to reach out to Chris for representation. You will always be taken care of and made a priority when represented by Chris and his firm. He always fought for me with everything he has. I don't know what I would have done if Chris wasn't the one representing me in court. Thank you Chris for all you did for me this past year and I am forever grateful for you and your amazing staff.

These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
