I left a message and was responded to in a matter of minutes. He then took my call just a bit later (office staff was pleasant to work with as well) and was fully prepared to talk specifics. Other attorneys that I had spoken to previously could be bothered to look at the specifics. Mr. Chan looked at the details, listened, made calls on our behalf. He then called us back and took the time to explain the process for the county, status, next steps, etc. He was patient and compassionate to the situation. I had a clear understanding of everything and felt very calm. Mr. Chan was very professional, honest, and most of all, he was kind.

My family was involved in a Traffic accident in Madera County in 2022. The four of us were in the…read morevehicle sitting in the left-hand turn lane waiting for the light to turn green, when all of a sudden out of nowhere a vehicle traveling approximately 50 miles an hour had struck the right rear axle of our vehicle and continued on through the intersection hitting three other vehicles as well. The force was so great. It pushed us approximately 10 feet past the limit line. I had checked Yelp for recommendations on attorneys and saw that The Accident Guys had very high ratings. We contacted attorney, Omid Dayan, and he immediately sent out an investigator to take our statements. Within a few days, we had been referred to their very experienced medical professionals for evaluation via zoom as well as additional doctors and medical services to address our injuries, so that we could each receive the care that we desperately needed. Omid and his team consisting of Karla Saldivar, Jill Castinetti and Kris Eduria constantly provided me and my family updates regarding our case. The staff always had our best interests in mind and they treated us like family would! I would highly recommend if you ever are unfortunately in a situation where you need an accident attorney that you contact The Accident Guys immediately so that they can take care of you like they took care of us! We were very happy with our settlement and felt that this would've not been possible had we not been represented by such a professional, knowledgeable and personable team like The Accident Guys.

In November 2022, while staying at a hotel on March Lane, I was aggressively bitten by a rescue dog…read morethat was falsely represented as a service animal. As I walked casually to the ice machine, a door swung open and an unleashed dog ran out, growling, and went straight for my calf. I felt its teeth tear into my muscle--two deep bites--before the owner finally gained control. I stood there frozen in shock, tears running down my face. Later that month, I signed a representation agreement with a criminal defense attorney who implied she had experience with injury cases and would handle my matter diligently. Unfortunately, that was not the case. For nearly two years, I had to act as if I were representing myself--making constant follow-up calls, repeating the details of my case every time, and never once meeting my attorney in person. I lived in panic and uncertainty. When I finally sought new representation in May 2024, I was told my previous attorney had a 50% recovery entitlement, which felt like yet another barrier. To her credit, she recognized she had not handled my case properly and agreed to relinquish her rights if I provided information for my new counsel. I prayed for guidance, and God led me to Yelp-dog bite attorney. As I scrolled past the sponsored listings, my eyes stopped at the Law Offices of Brown & Gessell--4.7 stars, 16 reviews, and words like "honest," "sincere," "professional," "genuine," "knowledgeable," and "caring." I scheduled a consultation with Steven Brown and explained everything I had been through over the past two years. He asked me to come in and meet with him. I prayed again that weekend for God's favor. Mr. Brown took my case. From that moment on, he educated me, guided me, and--along with his outstanding team--kept me informed every step of the way. Mr. Brown is a man of integrity, compassion, and genuine dedication to his clients. He and Linda are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, down-to-earth, and consistently professional. Steve (as he always insists I call him) not only renewed my hope in my case, but reminded me that there are honest, empathetic people in this world. Now, as I stand in November 2025, I can truly say: God has given me favor through the hands of Mr. Brown and his team. I am deeply grateful.
