    THIS HAS BEEN the MOST DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD with a LAW FIRM. STAY AWAY!! RUN…read moreAWAY!! VERY disappointing EXPERIENCE. I WAS REFERRED BY SOMEONE NAMED PARSA AMIRI WHO WORKS THERE, EXTREMELY SHADY, AND I TRUSTED THAT RECOMMENDATION - BIG MISTAKE. IN HIS OWN WORDS HE SAYS ""THE PLACE I WORK FOR IS CORRUPT & FRAUD". ""I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, I NEED THE MONEY."" I REGRET PUTTING MY TRUST IN THIS PLACE AND THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT. IF ONLY YOU KNEW HALF THE THINGS I WAS TOLD BY THERE OWN PEOPLE. It has now been OVER THREE MONTHS, and I am still waiting for nearly $2,000 that the firm acknowledged IN WRITING is owed to me. No client should have to spend months chasing money that has already been acknowledged. Throughout this process, I received conflicting information and constant delays. In mid-June, my case manager, Fernando, texted me that the check was coming. Three weeks later, after I followed up, I was told the check was coming to the office. After I pointed out the inconsistency, I received an email the following day from the Managing Partner stating the firm had not received another check from BMW. As a client, those conflicting explanations were frustrating and unacceptable. I have retained the emails and text messages documenting these communications. When I picked up my settlement check, Fernando--an employee of West Coast Trial Lawyers--personally handed me the check. At that time, I gave him $200 in cash and three bottles of alcohol. Looking back, I REGRET doing that. I was PRESSURED... I was afraid to come empty handed. I had to delay picking up my check because of this matter. Ironically, the firm is now finally returning the $200 cash. During this process, Neema Rahmani (PRESIDENT) stated he was unaware of the cash and the alcohol bottles. However, I have text messages from Fernando referencing the tequila bottle and the check. Those messages speak for themselves. Unjust and unfair behavior don't you think ? Based on my experience, I have completely LOST confidence in this firm. If you're considering hiring them, ask detailed questions about how overpayments, reimbursements, and client funds are handled before signing anything. My experience was months of delays, conflicting information, repeated follow-ups, and waiting for money the firm acknowledged in writing was owed to me. I cannot recommend this firm based on how my case was handled. RUN AWAY!! THEY WILL MANIPULATE YOU!! HALF OF THESE REVIEWS ARE FAKE! It's been ALMOST 4 MONTHS, and I'm STILL emailing them EVERY SINGLE DAY asking, "WHERE IS MY MONEY?" Their name should be WEST COAST TRIAL LAWYER SCAMMERS! IS ANYONE ELSE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING? MESSAGE ME ON YELP if you want to see MORE!

    I met Brian Breiter during a FaceTime call with Guillermo Machado right after a dump truck…read moresideswiped me on the freeway. I knew right away I was dealing with real professionals, lawyers that knew exactly how to handle something like this and do it right. Brian gave me so much confidence during that first call that I had no doubts hiring them. Thank God I did. I drove up to his office in Los Angeles and was so impressed by what I saw and who I met. Lawyers like Mark Rubashkin and Jeff Twomey, who were monumental in my case. They all took excellent care of me. They also introduced me to the best doctors I've ever been treated by. Experts in my injuries that helped me get my health and my life back. One year to the date of my crash, Brian's office surprised me with the best news of all. The entire policy. Insurance agreed to pay it. It was a big one. All because of Brian and his team. I was blown away. I thought the case would take much longer. Years maybe. But Brian had a secret weapon that forced the other side to deal and pay the entire policy for what they did to me without any further delays. I can't thank them enough for this. Now I'm in a better position to enjoy the rest of my life thanks to Brian Breiter, Mark Rubashkin and Jeff Twomey. Thank you Guillermo Machado for making this happen.

My husband called a bunch of lawyers and set up meetings all over town. Everyone wanted to take my case, but we went with Brian and his team because, right from the beginning, I could tell they were professional, kind, and genuinely felt bad for what had happened to me--ruining my face and causing a traumatic brain injury due to the city's negligence. A couple of months ago, we started preparing for trial, and the level of attention to detail from Brian and his team was incredible. We were in constant communication, and I always felt comfortable asking any questions. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon and Annie that made me feel completely ready for trial. Thankfully, we didn't even have to go to court, as the city offered a settlement. I fully trusted Brian's advice to settle, and I'm so glad I did. It's rare to find people who are so hardworking, compassionate, and truly eager to fight for you. Every single person on that team is incredible--I would be ready to go to trial with any of them. Thank you Brian, Jon, Annie, Mark, Tatiana for all your work during these 3 years!

    I was involved in a very serious car accident shortly after moving to a new town where I had no…read morefamily nearby, no close friends in the area, and my entire support network was back home. Adding salt to the wound, I was also navigating a divorce shortly after the accident. No community. No safety net. Just my physically injured self heartbroken and navigating one of the darkest and most isolated periods of my life. Finding Eunice during that chapter was one of the best decisions I have ever made. For context, my case took nearly four years from start to finish. Four years! Through every deposition, every medical appointment, every moment of uncertainty and pain . Eunice and her team were in my corner without fail. My injuries were severe. I underwent multiple surgeries, including an implant, along with a long road of treatments and recovery. Not only did Eunice fight for my case, she made sure I had access to the best doctors in the industry for every single procedure. She didn't just manage my legal situation, she looked out for my whole well being, as humanly as possible. She made sure I was truly taken care of at a time when I had very few people in my life to lean on, and when I deeply resented what my injuries had taken from my daily life. What stood out over these four years was the integrity and ethics of her office. In an industry where that's not always a given, Eunice and her team operated with transparency, honesty, and a standard of professionalism that never wavered. Working alongside them for almost four years showed me exactly what "best in the industry" looks like. Not in theory. In practice. Every single day. Over the course of four years, I was physically broken, emotionally drained, and completely alone. Eunice and her team fought and stood up for me every single day. That's not something I could ever forget. That's not something every attorney will do. I really don't have enough words to express my gratitude toward Eunice and her team for looking after not just my case, but my health, my recovery, and my life during the hardest season I've ever faced. The case finally closed. Eunice and her team went the extra mile to negotiate the final outcome, and I walked away physically recovered and genuinely grateful. Grateful for my recovery, and even more grateful for her and her team who stood by me every step of the way. When everything in life seemed to be spinning out of control, much like the accident that started it all. Making that one good decision to trust Eunice and her team was the path back to a good and wonderful life.

    I'm incredibly grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout my car accident case…read more The team at the Law Offices of Eunice S. Hahn communicated clearly, kept me informed every step of the way, and handled the entire process smoothly. Their support gave me tremendous peace of mind during an otherwise stressful time. Everyone was compassionate, professional, and genuinely committed to achieving the best possible outcome for me. I was very pleased with the settlement and would highly recommend the Law Offices of Eunice S. Hahn to anyone seeking a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated legal team.

I thought I was not hurt until after a week. I was in so much pain, and I was depressed for a while. I cried all day until I spoke to Sylvia. Sylvia is very calming and has such compassion. She helped me a bit with how to accept the accident, and the thing that matters is that I am alive. My case took a while, a little over a year, which I knew from the start, as James explained to me. James is a very nice person as well. He was very gentle talking to me, making sure that my feelings would not get triggered by the accident. I didn't have to do anything. All I had to do was answer the phone when Sylvia called. They dealt with the insurance and all that. I only contributed a bit when I was having problems with my health insurance. I cannot make phone calls anymore because my brain is all over the place, and guess what, Sylvia and her assistant took that burden, and they made all the phone calls. They have a team of really good doctors. All have compassion and so much understanding. My pain subsided slowly until I felt 100% whole again. My depression lessened as well. I am back to working out and started meeting people again. If I didn't meet this firm, I would be inside my place, repeating the accident over and over again until I looked old from depression. Just by me going back to running and socializing again is the biggest gratitude that I can express. The firm was able to get the maximum compensation as well. I know I would get something but I wasn't expecting that amount. Thank you for getting what is for me. And most of all, thank you for treating me as a friend/family. That's how I felt whenever I lifted my phone and called Sylvia. All the best Maria L.

The situation was clearly explained early on, and from that point, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. From the first call, Sylvia made me feel at ease by explaining each step clearly and keeping me informed throughout the entire process. She made sure both my children and I were properly checked for any injuries and helped arrange medical care quickly and conveniently. They connected me with great doctors and made the treatment process simple and stress free. I didn't have to deal with insurance or complicated details on my own, which allowed me to focus on recovery. What really stood out was how responsive, organized, and supportive they were. I always felt taken care of and confident that everything was being handled the right way. I truly appreciate their professionalism and care. They made a difficult situation much easier, and I'm very satisfied with the experience.

Narek and his entire team took care of us from beginning to end. They were always professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure we were okay throughout the whole process. They handled everything so we could focus on recovering, and they kept us informed every step of the way.

This was my first lawsuit ever, and I had no idea what to expect--emotionally or legally. From the very beginning, Karen Santos, my case manager, was there to guide me through the immediate aftermath with care and reassurance. Her support during such an overwhelming time meant more to me than I can express. As my case moved into negotiations, I met Jill Castinetti, and she truly changed everything. Jill took the time to listen, showed genuine empathy, and made me feel heard during an extremely vulnerable time--while still maintaining an incredibly high level of professionalism. One of the most powerful things she told me was that "the picture doesn't equal the medical damage done." That validation mattered deeply, especially since the vehicle damage may not have looked severe, the medical impact was very real. While negotiating with the insurance, she was meticulous, strategic, and confident in her negotiations. Her communication skills and attention to detail are exceptional. Because of Jill's work, she secured over $25,000 for my case. Before my case closed, she also helped me secure three advances, which made a significant difference in my ability to stay financially stable during recovery. If it weren't for Jill, I honestly would have changed firms. Jill is truly an asset to The Accident Guys, and I am deeply grateful for how she handled my case during such a difficult time in my life.
