It doesn't get any better than Catherine Lerer. Let me begin by saying that I knew nothing of this law firm prior to finding their website online yesterday and randomly calling for a free consultation. Therefore, this review is 100% genuine. Having dealt with numerous attorneys in the past for various things, I can say that the phone conversation I had yesterday with firm partner Catherine Lerer was by far the best experience I have ever had with an attorney. What a pleasant and refreshing experience, and hope for humanity, in fact, to find an attorney who has so much personal integrity in this modern day of pride, ego, greed, and opportunism. Oddly enough, I didn't actually feel like I was on the phone with an attorney, but rather, a compassionate and concerned friend or relative who happens to be extremely well versed in the law, and on top of it all knows a thing or two about great communication. Many attorneys will offer you a free phone consultation, and then treat you horribly once you get them on the phone. And that's if you can even get them on the phone. Even if you are able to get them on the phone, they will treat you like a number, interrupt and condescend you, not listen carefully, not be able and/or willing to speak to you in layman's terms (and treat you like you're an idiot for not understanding), and/or rush you off the phone. Most attorneys have zero bedside manner and the ability to provide what potential clients need the most, which is often to be reassured as it pertains to the situation they are in as well as be provided with the trustworthy information they so desperately need regarding the situation they are in. Catherine did none of the negative things I mentioned above. She listened carefully, treated me as a human being, and helped me to have peace of mind regarding my situation and concerns. This woman has loads of integrity, as I am certain her firm partner/husband must as well. Do not hesitate to contact these people. They are a true gem in the legal community. Many, many thanks Catherine. read more

I contacted Catherine Lerer after searching online for an attorney to take over my son's case. At the time of his accident he was a student and just relocated to Southern California. We literally did not know anyone in the area. He got a referral from someone at school and we soon realized that his case wasn't being handled effectively. After some online research I found a lot of answers on the McGee, Lerer web page. I called their office in LA and Catherine picked up the phone - she answered all my questions, confirming what we suspected needed to be done! She accepted my son's case and within weeks he was fully compensated for his Harley, which included the loss of use of his bike. This was a tremendous load off and allowed him to focus on his recovery without the worry of having to replace his bike after the low-ball offer his previous attorney encouraged him to accept from HIS OWN insurance company! We learned that most firms are not willing to assist with the recovery of damages to your property. His case is now completely settled and I wholeheartedly appreciate Catherine, David and Kelly for the care and attention they put into his final settlement. I highly recommend them!!! read more

I had the best experience with McGee, Lerer & Associates. I was in a bad car accident, while driving on a green light in the middle of a intersection a car past his red light and we collieded.

Her team is the best, Kelly always keeped me updated on my case at anytime. I couldn't be happier. Don't hesetate Call this firm.. I Strongly recommend them, They're The best.. read more

Honestly, don't even know where to begin. Catherine has been so patient with me from beginning to end. There is no way that I would of been able to handle this without Catherine and her amazing team. I had the amazing opportunity to work with Danielle and Catherine thru this difficult time since it was the first accident I had ever been in I had absolutely no clue what was going to happen. I would really like Catherine to know her assistant Danielle really deserves a gold medal or an employee of the month award. Catherine's team gives you the sense and the feeling that you are truly not going thru this alone that we are all going thru this together. I never once had to do anything Catherine and her team handled everything for me. I would recommend McGee, Lerer and Associates to any and everyone whom is looking for an attorney. Thank you again Catherine and Danielle you guys are the best. read more

My four children and I were T-boned when I was taking them to school one morning. My kids were terrified! We've never been in an accident and I was badly hurt. I wasn't sure what to do. We all needed medical attention and I don't have health insurance. I started asking questions and searching online for recommendation and suggestion on what to do after an accident. I came across McGeeLerer.com and all my questions were answered. I called the office and the staff was very friendly, compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. They took all the details of the accident and I was then passed on to an attorney right after. We were referred to doctors for treatment and the doctors office made sure we were taken care of. Our claim is still in process, but I just wanted to share this because it's amazing to know that there are still good attorneys that truly do want to help. read more

At the beginning of my case I went with attorneys who did not seem to have the time of day for my case. So when my mom referred me to Catherine and I let her know about my case, it was smooth sailing from there. When I switched to Catherine as my attorney she answered all my questions and tried to help me in the best possible way she could. Also Rachel was much of a big help throughout my case because no matter how busy she was, she had always gotten back to me within that day. This seems to be a very busy firm but they do pay attention to their clients to the best of their ability. I really appreciated Catherine and Rachel for helping me throughout my case and when things got rough they still did their best to make things happen. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who has been in an automobile accident of some kind. I really appreciate them working with me! read more

I was injured in a rollover car accident in September of 2022. What happened was as it turned out it was an 87 year old woman who ran a stop sign on a neighborhood street. She must have been going at a high rate if speed as the impact spun my truck around and flipped it on its side. The accident resulted in a TBI and neck and back injuries. After being treated at the scene for a cut to my arm i went straight to my Chiropractor and after treatment there i contacted McGee, Lerer & Associates. I knew Catherine Lerer as she successfully helped me keep those dangerous Dockless Electric Scooters out of my City. Anyways i was well treated by staff and Doctors they sent me to and the end result was after a year 1/2 passed i received a settlement that i was happy with. read more

WOW!!! Dan and Catherine.... and Danielle are so professional in what they do, it is truly amazing. They walked me through every step of the way. I was reluctant at first, but now I am so happy that I did retain them as my lawyers. If I ever need their assistance in the near future, I will not hesitate to call them. All they cared about what was my well being. They wanted to make sure that I got back on my feet and was healthy and how I felt before my accident. They amazing people!!! A driver ran a stop sign and side swapped me and totaled my car and I realized I needed representation so that my rights would be covered, and the team at McGee, Lerer & associates did not hesitate!!! Than you again for a well job done!!! I. De Luna read more

I liked that I could always get the lawyer on the phone. I liked that the lawyers kept me updated on the status of my case. ***I like that they got me almost 10 times what the adjsuter had offered me. I would definitely recommend the Mcgee Lerer firm to family, friends and the Yelp community. I want to add that I referred a friend and his girlfriend to this firm . They were in a car accident here in Pasadena. They were so appreciative of the referral because, from what I understand, they had another car accident lawyer who wasn't doing squat for them and they thought they were stuck with that first firm. My friend's a good guy and I'm glad it worked out for them. I knew this law firm would take care of them. read more

I originally decided to call this firm because I liked their website. Lots of useful information on there. I called them on a Sunday and Dan Mcgee, the attorney, picked up. The next day he and his partner came to our house to meet with my husband and I and our daughter, who had been attacked by our neighbor's dog. I am so glad we hired this firm. They arranged for our daughter to get a plastic surgery consultation, because we have no health insurance. Very professional. My husband or I were always able to speak with the attorney whenever we called. Their office staff was great - always knw what was going on with our daughter's case. I highly recommend them. read more

Catherine and her assistant Cindy Alvarez are just amazing. After being in a car accident I was able to get all the help provided and many of my questions answered. They both really went out of their way to help and figured out all circumstances beneficial for me . I am from Northern California and this Attorney and her assistant are located in Southern California. They managed to get me a chiropractor, settled my claim and were extremely helpful every step of the way. They were great on keeping me updated with every little movement happening with my case. I highly recommend them both, you honestly won't be disappointed in all the help you will find in this office. read more

I completely agree with the Yelp review left by Michael C. These guys LISTEN. That was important to me. I've dealt with other lawyers in the past who don't listen. I felt these attorneys understood what was important to me and what I needed. The first thing I needed was a car ASAP because I had no transportation to get to work. The lawyers took care of this the day I hired them. The other thing I want to emphasize about this firm is that you can trust them to put your interest's first. I believe they genuinely cared about me and seeing that the insurance company paid me a fair amount. So yes, I highly recommend this law firm. read more

At first, I was reluctant to get a personal injury attorney, because I had heard how unethical they were. I did a lot of research to find Catherine. From the moment I called she and her staff were so nice to me. They were highly informative, they always called me back, and they had perfect follow-through on everything they did. They won my case, getting me through it with updates and reassurances that everything was going well. Catherine negotiated for me and I received far more than I ever would have. She took such good care of me. I would highly recommend to any one who ever need an attorney. She is the best. read more

If you're looking for a team that has your best interest at heart, you've found them!! Catherine and her staff took great care of myself and my family after a horrible car accident. It was a relief to only worry about recovering instead of dealing with insurance claims and court. Thank you to Rachael for your constant communication and answering all of my questions in a timely manner. Legal experts can be cold and intimidating at times, but my experience with this firm was quite the opposite. They were extremely professional with a friendly bedside manner. I would definitely recommend their services! read more

I was in an automobile accident and was unsure about calling an attorney but a friend of mine suggested that I at least call. I chose McGee Lerer based on their great reviews and am very pleased with the service I recieved. Catherine and Rachael were both extremely helpful and always took the time to explain what was happening and why. I never felt rushed or uncomfortable while asking questions or for explanations. The process was smooth and I was confident that everything was being taken care of perfectly which aloud me to rest my mind after the accident. Thank you. read more

At times in a legal process, when all matters appear settled they aren't. This occured in my settlement and I needed more assistance. Mutiple calls between Catherine, me, and the insurance company were exchanged and Catherine UNSELFISHLY fielded and responded to all in a prompt and gracious manner. I was very fortunate to have her in my corner. Because of the structure of the settlement I might need her assistance in the future. I hope the insurance company adheres to their agreement. Thank you Catherine for her expertise and help this week! Dave A. read more

Highly recommended McGee, Lerer & Associates. I had no clue who to turn to when I was in a bad car accident. Catherine and Cindy were there for me every step of the way and guided me and helped to placate my worries. Even though it may seem strange you don't need to come in to meet with anyone to begin the process, rest assure you are in good hands!! The firm is great and well run. I was happy with my settlement and I know I would not have gotten nearly as much without their guidance. Thanks!! read more
