Jeff Greenberg helped our business understand tax notices and tax bills that were even too complicated for the IRS to explain! The firm moved fast to get answers as to why certain fines had been levied. The office has software to access abstracts that showed exact dates our returns had been received, when there was a dispute as to whether we had submitted a return. With Jeff's invaluable information as to what we were doing wrong with our filings, we were able to develop policies at our company to better comply with IRS best practices going forward. To our pleasant surprise, Greenberg Bitton worked to negotiate a waiver of some Federal late filing fees. The personalized attention makes us feel as if we are their only client.

In December of 2024 and May of 2025, I was in two car accidents. My rear-end accident in December…read morewas minor compared to my accident in May, where my Tesla was T-boned by a large pickup truck near the Beverly Hills Hotel. Initially, both of these cases were handled by different law firms. It was only when I was dropped as a client by a law firm that simply did not want to do the work to reverse liability. I asked ChatGPT for the best car accident lawyer in the area and he came up as #1. When I first called Avi, I could tell he was not only a good person but genuinely cares about his clients--even potential ones. Despite my previous law firm dropping me based on the "not-easy-win," he took my case on. He pulled the footage from the intersection where it happened and completely reversed liability in my favor. At this point, I knew he was the real deal and let him take on both of my accidents from December 2024 and May of 2025. Through MRIs, we discovered I had several discs displaced in my back due to the accident that I had daily pain from. As a dancer at a talent agency, you can see how this would be detrimental to my career. But he set me up with the best team of spinal doctors and since physical therapy and PRP injections, my back is virtually operating at 90% capacity compared to prior to the accident. I was amazed how passionate, genuine, and relentless (the good kind) Avi was during the duration of both of my cases. I am very satisfied with my financial payout for both cases. Please, look no further if you've been in an awful car accident and don't know where to start in terms of representation. I'd recommend him to any family and friend. Thank you, Avi!!

SHOCKING and APPALLING!

I believe disclosing my full name appeared designed to pressure and punish me into removing my review and it felt extremely VIOLATING, HARASSING and RETALIATORY. Yelp was notified. I've filed a complaint with State Bar. His 2nd Yelp response at 8:43 PM only had 1 line: "The above was posted by..."+ My full name. His 3rd response disclosed another detail of my case ALL WITHOUT CONSENT. My SCREENSHOTS were reported. I strongly believe no client should endure the EXTREME emotional distress I've experienced with this "personal injury attorney". Original Review: I'm completely shocked. I worked with Avi Muhtar for over 1.5 year. I have significant injuries. I believe he made an incredibly cold and cruel comment that in my opinion is the MOST ABUSIVE, chilling, harsh, SPITEFUL, ill-wishing and traumatizing comment anyone has ever said to me. The EXTREMELY HEARTLESS remark was made after I politely disagreed with withholding important details of what I believe was key evidence as it fully supported how and why the accident regarding a van door happened and also asked about an ER bill that the opposing counsel said in mediation was removed but wasn't. I even said I'll pay it and don't want to discuss further. I noted I want to take the rest of the week off after the mediation. He completely disregarded this simple boundary. I again asked for him to stop and even said what injuries I had to attend to. He continued. I asked him AGAIN noting it's escalating. He repeatedly ignored requests to cease communication. Despite the ER bill issue resolved, he sent another email that included a cruel remark. It came across as INDIFFERENCE to my well-being and read as ill-wishing. In my opinion, the heartless comment seemed intended to cause emotional distress. I had said I'll pay the bill. I believe there was no legitimate reason to continue. I also believe the chilling comment could cause emotional distress to any reasonable person. I would have preferred that level of AGGRESSION directed toward opposing counsel. In my opinion, based on his various stated reasons, the approach to including two important evidence was EXTREMELY WEAK and followed the path of least resistance rather than what best supported my case. Besides waiting over 1.5 year for details to come into evidence, I asked him multiple times - including weeks before mediation - to include them. Yet after mediation, when I said it should have been included, he said: "You did not say I want you to include it." I also believe making the mean hearted remark to anyone - let alone a client with significant injuries - is HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE. This PUNITIVE CONDUCT was not isolated to this incident. I had told him "I'm sorry you feel that way" reads as a passive-aggressive non-apology and if he did not intend a genuine apology, it's better to not use it. He continued to use it. The communication was fine as long as I agreed with what he did. When I politely disagreed however, his tone would shift and he would become DEFENSIVE. I even told him recently I was afraid to talk to him. After I respectfully shared my thoughts on his approach to communication and negotiation with opposing counsel prior to mediation - he showed dissatisfaction later saying: "You had a lot to say." I also experienced repeated blame-shifting, dismissiveness and deflection in my interactions with him including responses I consider GASLIGHTING. In contrast, my previous PI attorney I worked with for a year was kind and professional. As noted I have significant injuries. The accident itself was extremely traumatizing. Yet I believe the shocking comment by Avi Muhtar was MORE PSYCHOLOGICALLY HARMFUL. He also sent an email which I believe was to dangle something triggering meant to unsettle, then shut down clarity. In my opinion, this was also UNACCEPTABLE and taunting. He then made the cruel comment in his next email. In my opinion, it was THE MOST verbally and psychologically ABUSIVE and DAMAGING remark I've ever heard. He said after mediation that I'm a good person and during the time of working together he didn't feel he wanted the case to be over. It's surprising how sharing my thoughts prompted this type of extremely inappropriate response. In my opinion, his comment was extremely ABUSIVE and VINDICTIVE in content and tone, and it read as incredibly ill-wishing. I believe it reflected INDIFFERENCE TO PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFTEY - especially in the context of significant injuries. I believe many clients would find that kind of apathetic comment profoundly upsetting - especially after trusting a personal injury attorney.

Mark is highly knowledgeable, communicative, and extremely thorough. Even though we never met in person and he handled everything through phone and email, I was always informed and supported. His hourly rate is on the higher end but his work ethic, responsiveness, and professionalism is worth it. My case was resolved within a year, and I'm grateful for his guidance throughout the entire process. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a dedicated, no-nonsense attorney who will truly advocate for you.

My experience with Mark was exceptional. I made the point of going to meet him in person to see if…read morewe would be a good fit and from there I knew we would work well together. From the start he provided clear communication and expectations. I followed his guidance exactly as he instructed and the result we were aiming for was achieved. If you want someone who is proactive and punctual then Mark is who you want to work with.
