I was recommended to Vanessa with Kalfayan Merjanian through a friend and I am so glad I chose to go this route. Vanessa and her team have been beyond helpful throughout this time, updating me every step of the way. They made a difficult and complicated process, feel doable and approachable. Guiding me in the right direction and helping alleviate the stress of the situation. I know I would not have been able to achieve this much of a win on my own. Grateful to her and the team! read more

I would highly recommend Kalfayan Merjanian. They were not only professional but you don't feel like a number. They are there for you to help to answer any questions or just check in on how you are feeling. From day one until the closing of your case you have someone on your side. Thank you! read more

I was in a bad car accident last year and I was recommended to work with Kalfayan Merjanian and I'm glad I did. Getting into a car accident and all the aftermath of an accident is stressful, but working with this firm it made it all a breeze for me. They helped me find the medical care I needed and made appointments for me. Very communicative throughout the process. It was a pleasure working with everyone from this firm. read more

John Shaver, our lawyer went above and beyond for my father and mother with their traffic collision. He is a kind and compassionate person. He has patience and is a highly effective lawyer. He had our best interest in mind and worked very hard on our case. Thank you John, you are truly the best! Sandra read more

They're really great people. They helped my family with 2 of our cases where we were involved in a car accident. Both we were not at fault. They were super helpful and really tentative to our needs. read more

After reading all these stellar reviews it's difficult to write one and not sound redundant, but I didn't want the opportunity to pass without acknowledging John Shaver who handled my personal injury case. I've had dealings with several attorneys in the past, all of which made me hesitate to seek out any legal help after experiencing a serious personal injury. John Shaver is tough, thorough, tenacious, yet compassionate and kind. He worked tirelessly to achieve the best settlement possible and I am very grateful. Thank you John and Kalfaynan Merjanian. You're the best! read more

Kalfayan Merjanian Law Firm was highly recommended to us after my elderly mom was in a car accident. Their staff were always professional and responsive, communicated clearly and without even asking kept us up to date as things progressed. The entire process was smooth from beginning to end and the way everyone consistently went above and beyond leaving no stone unturned while handling her case far exceeded our expectations. Based on our experience, we highly recommend this firm and will most definitely use them again, should the need arise. read more

These guys walked me through each step. And sent someone to my final meetings prior to final settlement.

The group of attorneys are the best of the best. I had a slip and fall accident that was taken with a grain of salt by everybody with the exception of the everyone who worked on my case. Vanessa is top notch. John, Jessica and Vivian deserve mentioning. This is a streamline law firm who guided me through a very traumatic time. I'm very satisfied with the results. read more

Top notch attorneys, Over the past 6 or so months I had the pleasure of working with attorney Mike Stodolka. What a great guy; a real straight shooter. He explained the process thoroughly so there wasn't any surprises and followed through with everything he said he would. As for my situation, I was rear ended on the freeway and left with 4 bulged disks in my back and in a lot of pain. I had got the number to the firm Kalfayan Merjanian through a friend and was hands down the best move I could have ever made. Mike Stodolka got me 30k for my injuries. Absolutely amazing, I can now get treatment and have a little extra for hassle and loss of work. It was truly a blessing to work with Mike and the firm Kalfayan Merjanian and encourage others to do so as well. read more

John and Team are absolutely amazing to work with. Everyone is friendly, responsive, and caring. They made the entire process so easy and comfortable. If I could rate them 10 stars I would!!! read more

I've talked to Vic many times about legal issues and he's always provided good advice and valuable insight! A while back my mom got into a car accident by some jerk that fell asleep at the wheel and rear ended her. I tried to work with the guy as it was obviously his fault but he was being so unresponsive and just downright shady. Looking into take more legal action I started to research how the courts work. That same day I ran into Vic at a friends BBQ and it was the best thing that's happened for this situation. I came into Vic's office and told him the situation and he immediately took aciton by filing all the appropriate paperwork at the courts and told me he would take care of everything. His friendliness and knowledge made everything so dam easy! He outlined a time frame on when i should expect everything to happen and the expected amount of payout. The next three weeks Vic followed up with me every Tuesday carefully detailing his progress. Next thing you know, the jerk face that hit my mom was calling me begging me to take a settlement. With Vic's help, we settled at an amount that was higher than I originally thought and it included his legal fees! Home Run for us on this with Vic! read more

My wife and I were introduced to John Shaver after being rear-ended by a drunk driver in March 2018. John was very professional, supportive and made sure we were well taken care along the whole process. John was in constant contact with us, keeping us updated with the progress made on our case as well just checking in to see how we both were doing. He made sure we got the medical attention needed by some amazing doctors. Both my wife and I are truly happy with the outcome of our case and do recommend this law firm for others. Thank you John!! read more

I was rear-ended on my way to drop off my kids to school in October 2018. Thankfully my children were not physically injured mostly scared. However, my back was injured when a big van behind us hit us. I was introduced to Vanessa and she has been helping me since the very beginning with therapies and monthly doctor checkup. For a whole year, I was given the best treatment, therapies, knowledge possible and she was able to explain every detail and step of the way. I was in so much pain constantly and as a mother of 4 kids, I needed to get myself back to where I was before my accident. They were always very professional and kind, they understood my need to get myself to 100%. It has been a long process but Vanessa has been amazing in reassuring my concerns and giving me the care. She will always work hard to get you taken care of. I am now recovered and have the strength to get back to motherhood. Thank you, Vanessa. Excellent Group of Attorneys. Highly recommend them. read more

Very professional law firm. It was a pleasure to work with both Michael and Jessica. They constantly kept me updated about the current status of my claim and even sent me little gift packages for my birthday and holidays throughout the year. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and it was a comfort knowing that they were working for me and handling all aspects of my accident claim without me having to worry about anyting. Thanks again, and I would definitely recommend. read more

I highly recommend this firm. Their rates are appropriate and they have the technology to make this a smooth process. I spoke with several attorneys before deciding to move forward with The Kalfayan Merjanian Firm. I also got several recommendations to use their services from multiple sources. It was a good decision to move forward with them. They settled out both of my car accident cases and got me a much larger settlement than I was expecting. They were super responsive throughout the entire experience and addressed everything I brought up immediately. I highly recommend this firm and Vanessa Cardinale the attorney who worked my case from beginning to end. read more

Someone I'm close to was injured due to a clear case of negligence- a slam dunk case. This law office didn't take the case for unclear reasons and made up a seemingly bogus reason that "they don't have the right experts." Don't waste your time with this law office read more

I was rear ended at a stop light by a kid on his cell phone. Unfortunately he didn't hit his brakes until he hit me and he was driving a huge work truck. I ended up with a neck injury and 2 herniated lumbar discs. Not to mention, the back end of my car had $7k in damages. I sought medical care right away and luckily my doctor referred me to Kalfayan Merjanian. They really took care of me. I always felt like my treatment and recovery were priority! I had over 2 years of PT, chiropractics and pain management that was all covered by my settlement. That is all I really expected but my lawyer Vanessa fought hard to get me more. Her knowledge and persistence got me over $15k in my pocket. I feel so blessed! I would highly recommend Vanessa and Kalfayan Merjanian to anyone in need of an injury lawyer! read more

Contract Termination I reached out to Vic with a business dispute and breach of contract issue after having tried, unsuccessfully, to resolve this myself. Within days, Vic was able to negotiate a solution and to get the result that I was looking for. Highly recommend Kalfayan Merjanian! read more

If your curious on wether this team is up to the challenge of assisting you with your case. LOOK NO FURTHER. I to was curious and hesitant on relying on them. However I'm totally glad that I took the opportunity to have them assist me with all my needs. Ida & Selena, were amazing and very informative. I appreciate them both. Vanessa pushed hard and exceeded my expectations. Great people. Great service. When in need, trust this team! I'm glad I did! read more

Highly recommend! This firm stuck by my side after I was slammed by a drunk driver. Through my pain and PTSD, they let me yell at them, hey let me vent my frustrations, and they met my needs through the difficult time. Money was tight, insurance moved slow, the staff at Kalfayan Merjanian provided me funds bc I had no other way to carry on with my schedule. They literally held my hand through tough times. They handled my case and got me my money. They covered my chiropractic fees and made sure I was happy. Now, three years later I continue to receive annual gifts in the mail from Kalfayan Merjanian! And their gifts are great! Highly used! Towels, water bottles, mugs, pot holders, great bags! The list goes on. I love this firm, John and Serene. Ethical, compassionate, care about their clients and it shows! Thanks!!!! read more

I was rear ended in an accident a few weeks before a move. Vanessa and her team handled the case with great communication (even when my gmail did not cooperate) and the experience was seamless to me. She even negotiated a higher settlement than expected. I literally had to do nothing except trust in her and her team and concentrate on my health after the accident. She handled the medical professionals who were part of my treatment and even negotiated with them. I do not wish accidents on anyone but if the unfortunate were to occur I would trust nobody else. read more

Thank you for all the help of Kalfayan Merjanian over the case. I could not be happier with the services I received from my Attorney John Shaver. He is extremely efficient and professional and always available to answer questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an excellent attorney. read more

I just wanted to say thank you to John and his team for being incredible! I was involved in an accident months ago and was left in a difficult situation about how to handle things and go about my case. I was able to receive the best services and support leaving me fully satisfied.  Coming to John Shaver and Selena was the best decision I've made. Being a full-time student and employee they were helpful and super accommodating to help me out at best of their abilities and make this super simple on my part. Overall the communication and help that John was able to provide were over the top. He is willing to take extreme measures to get the best and provide you with impeccable service! I would forever recommend coming and his staff no doubt about it.  John and his staff and fully trustworthy. I will forever recommend them for my family and friends is future services! read more

I endured a lot of back pain after my car was rear-ended and totaled. After haggling with an unresponsive other-party insurance for months, I enlisted Kalfayan Merjanian. Once Vanessa Cardinale was assigned my case, I was relieved that I only had to focus on my recovery while Vanessa dealt with the insurance company and my various health providers. Vanessa and her assistant were so supportive and responsive to all my questions and needs. I felt well cared for through the whole process and Vanessa worked tirelessly to get me a fair settlement. I am grateful for the outcome and highly recommend Vanessa. read more

Vanessa Cardinale and her team at Kalfayan Merjanian where there to handle a rear-ended collision that had happened to me. She and her team let me know what to expect from details I gave and lead me through each process no matter how insignificant I thought my questions were. Vanessa and her team took my case pro-bono and I am so satisfied with her and her team!!! Thank you, so much!!! read more

I contacted Vic and his firm about potential help with a case I have been concerned about. While Vic was not in a position to assist me with my particular case, he did take the time to call and explain each of my remaining options for recovering the best settlement I could given my current situation. I left completely impressed with the time, wisdom, and professional service this entire firm devoted to researching my case and educating me about each of the options I still had left. Of course, I also left wishing I had contacted Kalfayan Merjanian in the first place, as their approach to handling cases is above and beyond what I've experienced. I certainly will refer this firm now on. read more

Auto Accident. While stopped in traffic on the freeway, I was read ended at a high rate of speed. While I was waiting for the CHP to take a report, my neck and back started to get stiff. When I got home, it was time to see a doctor, so I looked in the Yellow pages and found a Chiropractor to help me with my stiff neck. I also decided to look up Attorney in Yahoo and found Vanessa under attorney. Vanessa took over and helped me through the process of getting treatment and my car fixed. Her firm also provided transportation to and back from my surgery. Vanessa checked on me weekly, worked with my doctors. I was finally released from treatment and Vanessa worked out a great settlement with the other insurance Company. Vanessa you rock! read more

Thank you to Michael, John, and the whole team. My personal injury case resulting from rear end collision parked at a stop light was handled professionally and courteously. I appreciated the gift packages and their clear and concise communication on the case. We were able to get a successful outcome and an payment/award that I was satisfied with in the end. I would recommend them highly to anyone in a similar circumstance. read more

After being rear ended by a truck on the 5 freeway I didn't think I needed an attorney. My chiropractor friend talked me into contacting Vic. I will be forever grateful to her for convincing me to make he call. It can be weeks before you realize the extent of your injuries. The firm was with me through the entire process. They even had someone go to many of my doctor appointments and my lawyer, John Shaver, met me at the ER when my back injury surfaced and I was in excruciating pain. The whole process took about a year and a half as they wanted to make sure all my injuries had surfaced and would be covered. The final result was way more than I expected. John did an amazing job at the mediation. They are definitely a first class firm and work hard to get you the best settlement. read more

I would like to highly recommend this group to anyone who feels a little lost when it comes to navigating around the foreign world of automobile litigation. Luckily for me a friend had introduced me to the firm, Kalfayan Merjanian, and Attorney John Shafer did remarkable job following an unforeseen car accident that I was apart of . John , and his team really helped out , they even assisted with my rehab process and made my goals attainable , thank you to them . Michele read more

I was in an auto accident in 2016 and retained Kalfayan Merjanian to handle the ins and outs of my injuries. This was the best decision I could have made. The attorneys were professional, personable and walked me through the process every step of the way. They made sure I had the best possible care from beginning to end, and were able to take care of everything I needed until I healed. Vanessa Cardinale and John Shaver were the two attorneys handling my specific case, and I'm kinda sad that my case has closed, as I truly love them both and feel like I'm saying goodbye to wonderful friends. They even were able to finalize with a much better outcome than I anticipated. I can't say enough about this team, from Radcliffe at the front of house, to the case coordinators, legal assistants and finally, these amazing attorneys. You're in exceptionally capable hands with this team of professionals! Thank you again!! read more

Vanessa and the team at Kalfayan Merjanian were absolutely the best. They were always professional, attentive, and polite. They answered every single question I asked them. I specifically worked with Amelia and Selena on many occasions and they were absolutely wonderful. They were easy to talk to and always made me feel comfortable when talking to doctors and planning my health care. I felt very well taken care of throughout the whole process. I give them my highest recommendation! read more

Was t-boned 30 seconds away from my house. Car was totaled and a hip broken. I was recommend K&M by a friend of mine and called them immediately. Mike and his paralegal Jennifer were wonderfully accommodating and understanding. They took what was on paper incredibly difficult circumstances and turned them around to be the most in my favor they could be, communication was also consistent and reassuring (special shout out to Radcliffe for me bothering him every week). I would not hesitate one second in recommending either Mike or anyone else from K&M for your case. read more

If I could give this firm more stars I absolutely would. I don't even know where to begin, I was recommended this law firm after I got into a horrible accident July 2018. I was a little hesitant to get an attorney but I'm so thankful I did. Vanessa and her team were amazing! Someone was always at my appointments with me to check how I was feeling and to hear what the doctors were saying. Every person i encountered from this office was genuine and wanted to make sure that I was okay throughout the process. I honestly did nothing but go to my doctors appointments and that's all I had to deal with. Everything else was taken care of by my attorney Vanessa and man she's really amazing. If I would ask for an update I'd get one promptly and more. Also can forget all the goodie bags they would mail me. They are just amazing. I recommend them to everyone!!! They also work so hard to get you the most out of your settlement, basically I adore this firm. So please take my word and contact them if you find yourself in need of a firm to help settle a case contact them!! I can't say it enough they are the best and the real deal!! read more

Vanessa did a great job. This firm is hassle free and took all the stress and work off me. They handled everything. read more
