The…read moreamazing team of Lotte, Ivan, and Arcy were always patient and understanding of my needs and just wanted the best outcome for my case. They were always 100 percent honest on everything they were doing and expectations on how the whole process would go. Never made me feel like I was bothering them when asking questions or needed help with something. Great group of people would HIGHLY recommend this group.

John took the time to thoroughly understand my case and answered every question I had with patience and professionalism. After consulting with his team, he explained that my matter was not the type of case the firm handles. What impressed me most was that nothing about his professionalism or willingness to help changed after that. He continued to give me his time, answered every question I had, and provided helpful information. He even offered to reach out to attorneys in his network, without sharing my personal information, to see if my case might be a better fit elsewhere. The level of customer service I received, despite never becoming a client, was exceptional. If John reflects the values of Razavi Law Group, I would not hesitate to recommend the firm. Five stars.

RMD Law

I should have contacted RMD Law from the beginning. My fiancée was in a bicycles accident and was…read morehit by a car. He had an ORIF surgery on his ankle, thank goodness it was nothing worse. We waited 6 WEEKS for the police report, where the reporting officer found him "at fault" after interviewing JUST 1 witness and the driver, who said he was in the intersection. Not wanting to spend $$$ to retain a lawyer, we waited to see what kind of settlement amount the insurance would offer. We were then bullied by the insurance adjuster who convinced my fiancée that since he was found "at fault", they owed us nothing. We contacted a well-advertised billboard lawyer who told us we had "no case" because he had been found "at fault." Feeling dejected at a low moment of exasperation, my fiancée signed a settlement agreement of $10,000 as he was told "that's all you're going to get because you were found at fault." I literally got home :20 after he signed. I was furious and this let to a lot of fights between us. I found John Rajee of RMD Law on Yelp as a lot of reviews said he handled "difficult situations." He was kind and professional but also understood human nature and the whole dilemma we faced- trying to get a contract invalidated AND attempt to re-settle with the insurance company. He also advised me on different ways MY auto insurance could help even though my fiancée was on a bicycle. Although John consulted other colleagues to discover ways to secure a better settlement, ultimately nothing could be legally done to get the settlement contract negated :( Unfortunately, my fiancée and I had to move forward with accepting the circumstance. Through all these developments, John kept advising us and was professional and thorough. He advised me as an experienced counselor and also just an honest guy who took the time to reassure me that basically it wasn't the end of the world. Frankly, I was very very angry with my fiancée over his moronic decision to sign, and speaking to John just honestly helped me move past my anger and put the whole bad situation behind me. I would absolutely recommend John and his colleagues to anyone seeking legal advisement, and I will definitely refer him to friends and family. Even if you just need an answer or two, PLEASE contact RMD before signing anything, taking action, or accepting offers. They absolutely will help!

I know a lot of lawyers personally but had never had to deal with an accident lawyer and felt that most I talked to were either too aggressive, impractical or just not interested because my accident seemed small or not worthy of treatment. From the very beginning, John was open and honest about my case and gave me the guidance and direction that no one else seemed to be able to provide. I learned a lot about small claims court along the way because I had dropped the ball on my case, even if it was thru no fault of my own. John was easy to talk to and gave me the time needed. He was both practical and efficient. It was refreshing that he was available within reason and wasn't in a rush when dealing with me. Having written so many reviews on Yelp I have really learned who I can trust, and his Yelp site was honest and refreshing compared to so many billboard lawyers and even compared to friends and acquaintances! I can't tell you how much I appreciated John's help, and while my case isn't over yet, I would recommend him without hesitation to all of my friends and family.

The entire claims and settlement process was much more complicated than I expected, and I honestly wouldn't have known how to navigate it on my own. Kate was exceptional throughout the process, taking the time to explain each step, answer my questions, and make sure I understood my options. The at-fault driver's insurance company seemed eager to close the case as quickly as possible, and I almost accepted far less than I was entitled to. Fortunately, Samer Habbas stepped in right away, protected my interests, and made sure I received fair treatment. Their team handled everything--from communicating with insurance representatives to identifying the damages and expenses I could legitimately claim. Thanks to their knowledge and advocacy, I wasn't left paying medical bills out of my own pocket. I felt supported from start to finish and always knew I had a team looking out for me.

I have had the opportunity to utilize Gary Peterson's personal injury expertise "3 times". I was involved with two personal injury auto collisions and for my daughter's dog bite case. Always use a personal injury attorney for personal injury cases and immediately take photos and video with your smartphone when the incidence occurs. In both auto collisions I was rear ended. The first was a three car collision and the insurance companies of both parties did not want to offer me anything when I tried to handle the situation by myself, but when Gary accepted the challenge we got way more than expected from both insurance companies. In my second auto collision I was taken to the hospital and Gary did a fantastic job dealing with the party's insurance company that hit me AND my insurance company for MAXIMUM collections. Lastly, my daughter was taken to ER due to a dog bite and Gary came to the rescue again with a very nice settlement. All I can say is that I was very pleased with Mr. Peterson's expertise and experience on all three cases and that I highly recommend him. You do not deal with paralegals or junior attorneys, Gary does it all. read more
