I was in the middle of a three-car pile-up. I hit my head and was knocked out and taken to the ER, my car was totaled, and I ended up with a concussion, back issues, and no car. A friend of mine gave me advice to get a lawyer. I read reviews, did some research, and picked Effres and Associates and I'm so glad I did. I worked with Justin Effres who was amazing. I am not someone who likes to deal with anything legal, well, who does, and with Justin, he made it so easy and handled everything. Truly, he made what could have been a horrible experience not that bad. All my medical was covered and he was able to get me the funds I needed to buy a new car, without any payments which was a big deal for me. I work in non-profit and my car had been paid off for some time and taking on a car payment right now just wasn't feasible. Justin did a great job, he got me a fair settlement which is exactly what I wanted and made it painless (unlike the car accident). The staff at Effres & Associates were top notch all the way. Everyone was kind and generous and supportive. I can't thank them all enough for the great job they did for me and protecting me. I don't give out reviews lightly and this one I did without a second thought. Thanks again Justin and everyone at Effres! read more

I was referred to Effres & Effres by a friend following a Collison that resulted in a major injury. He mentioned good things about them at work, so I decided to give them a try. In the past, I had dealt with other firms that were not the most professional or organized, so I was a bit nervous before making the call. I was looking for a firm that could best represent me during that difficult time. From the start, steve was very professional and thorough with explaining the process going forward. I felt confident and hired the firm. I was then introduced to Justin and evan, who were very pivotal during the process. Justin was incredibly knowledgeable and communicative. He provided me with the best advice that would keep us on the right track until the case could be resolved. The rest of the team was very helpful each time I called in to the office. When it was time to finally reach a settlement, Justin and Steve made sure I understood everything, and we reached the best possible outcome for my case. I am overall very pleased with Effres and Effres and their services. I learned a lot about the litigation process along the way as well. I definitely recommended their service. read more

Hi Justin! I want to express my sincere thanks to you and your office for the outstanding work in my case. All of your efforts made it possible for me to get back on my feet (from not able to walk, to slowly learning how to walk again) and get on with my life. You guys are truly top-notch attorneys! You always fight for me, my health and make sure that I get better. I am truly grateful that I had an opportunity with work with you and your Dad. I feel that I had won the case from the very beginning. It was a victory for me not because we won the case, but the victory began when I attained such great people to lead the way. Thank you for always made me feel like I was a friend than a client. You and your Dad deserve great respect and blessings!! read more

I have known Steven Effres for over 25 years and he is a very good lawyer. I worked in his office as a legal secretary and everyone was always top notch. You won't be disappointed. read more

Justin was helping me personally and since day 1 I knew I was in great hands. Very professional and courteous. He made sure I understood what the process consisted of and answering every question I had. The process was very pleasant as Justin did all the communication with insurance and auditors, allowing me to focus on my treatments. Not only physically but as well as mentally. I am very pleased at what I received and helped me more than just to get back on my feet. God forbid to never be in another car accident, but if so I will always return to Effres & Effres. I also HIGHLY would recommend to all my family and friends. read more

My experience with Justin effres was amazing, when he was handling my car accident case he made sure my case went smoothly and made sure I got paid out fairly I would highly recommend having Justin effres as your lawyer!! read more

I first came to Effres and Associates after a car accident that I had been involved in a little before my 21st birthday. It was a referral from a classmate of my and it was the best decision that I could have made. Here's a breakdown of my experience: After contacting the firm by email with a brief summary I was replied to with in a days time. Their reply was informative and honest, we set up a meeting the same week. During our first meeting the lawyers at the firm were honest and direct, there was no sales or gimmicks, just the simple truth. They advised me of the peculiarity of my case, my options and the potential results that were common. I felt very comfortable with continuing my relationship with this firm not just because of their successful track record in litigation but because I felt like I could trust the firm. After I decided to use the services of Effres and Associates I was given a list of things I needed to do in order to document my injuries. The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary. Everything was my decision and they were willing to work with me instead of pushing me into what they felt was right. They also constantly communicated with me in regards to my recovery, medical issues and the progress of the case. Initially my case was a small potential liability suit but after some research there were facts that came out that made it a clear cut case of negligence. What was really awesome is that the lawyers took my case even before all the details were clear. After the new facts emerged, after multiple subpoenas, they did not alter the contract or ask for more money, even though we were taking the City of L.A. DWP to court. Through the depositions, doctors visits and meetings, the lawyers at Effres and Associates were always professional, courteous and honest with me. Mr. Effres referred me to specialists for second opinions when my health care provider suggested immediate surgery. I was evaluated and underwent treatment with a specialist who operated on the likes of Dwight Howard and Peyton Manning, not to mention that I was admitted into a top notch pain management clinic. During the litigation process in court my attorneys were always prepared, professional and were willing to answer any questions I had. After I won my case, and the city appealed, the lawyers at Effres and Associates stayed in contact and helped through the appellate process. I won the appeals a year after I won the case initially. By the time I had finally won my case and received my compensation, five years had passed. The lawyers at Effres and Associates were awesome every step of the way. Mr. Effres and his team always stayed in touched, communicated in a quick and clear manner and were always prepared. This firm helped me get the compensation I deserved after I herniated a disc in my low back and nearly died in a car accident. Nothing can completely take away the events of one night but being able to afford any future medical treatment necessary and having been compensated for five years of lost wages was a good start. I cannot imagine using a different firm. I have referred any one I know to the lawyers at Effres and Associates because these guys are top class. read more

I would definitely recommend this firm, after everything they have done for me I can't describe in words, the person that was responsible for my serious Injuries was on suspended license and no insurance but they still stood by my side and fight for me, this firm is about Justice. They were always there when I need anything, they came to the hospital, they even help me go to the court and my favorite I was able to text them when I had a question very convenient. Thanks alot to Justin Effres for always responding to all my questions and never giving up on my case. read more

Two attorney firms dropped us before the 2 year deadline and we were panicking. My husband was badly hurt when a truck backed into him as he was walking by. Justin took us in and we really felt like we had someone on our side. I really feel like it's his reputation as a trial lawyer that got us the deal. I would absolutely recommend him! read more

Steven Effres, Justin, Evan, and their entire staff were a pleasure to work with. I came for their help after a tragic situation that cost my dad his life, with no idea where to turn. I spoke to my neighbor, a friend who also happened to be a law professor, and she wholeheartedly referred me to Steve Effres. I remember how scared I was in making that first telephone call, but after an initial conversation with Justin Effres, I was immediately invited to meet with Steve to take a look at the situation. In that first meeting, Steve was very compassionate, as mentioned by so many others, but also, very detailed in reviewing the facts of the situation, as well as in preparing me for what was to come. From that first meeting, Effres and Associates worked diligently with me throughout the entire process for about two years, with a final settlement that felt fair and comforting. During a meeting, in between depositions, Steve read to me the workup and timeline that Justin had developed for my case, and I realized the utter thoroughness of the work that was put in to achieve a good resolution. Finally, I need to include that at the end of the final mediation, the opposing attorney assured me of his regard for the high quality of work of Steve Effres. Should anyone have a case where the services of a high quality legal practice that is not only professional, but who cares, I would wholeheartedly recommend this practice. read more

Justin Effres was my attorney. He came to my home on a Saturday in San Bernardino to discuss my case with me. Prior to deciding to go with Effres & Associates I had interviewed several other Law Offices. However out of everyone I talked to Justin seemed the most knowledgeable, and more importantly sincere about helping me with my case. Justin also assured me that if I had any questions or concerns, that I would be dealing directly with him, not an assistant. Justin held 100% to his word. Throughout the entire process I truly felt like I had someone on my side, and that Justin truly cared about my best interest. Thank you so much Justin. read more

I can not say enough positive things about Effres & Associates. Everyone there was great. I could not be any happier with how my case was handled. Steven is truly an amazing attorney and I would highly recommend him and his firm to anyone looking for an honest and dedicated attorney who will go above and beyond to ensure you get justice. read more

Professional, honest, and genuinely invested in your case. Justin was very clear and helpful from beginning to end. I would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a legal representation. read more

Jessie 3-18-15 According to what I was told by a young lawyer...lawyers are bound by law to let the person who contacted their law firm "know" whether their law firm is going to take their case...or not. So if you leave a message for a lawyer and they call you back...don't get excited thinking they're interested and might take your case. The majority of the time they just want to get your information, either for their database, which probably has a wealth of valuable resources taken from past clients, potential clients and the many poor souls looking for justice. The lawyers will pick your brain clean to obtain the information they need. The next day you'll receive the standard denial letter...telling you that their law firm isn't interested in your case. They have to protect their law firm. After all YOU did call them, seeking their help! False hope, added depression, disbelief in the justice system and the realization that with all the education, training and experience... Lawyers take cut and dry winning cases. Served to them on silver platters. Good thing I didn't give my correct address. read more

I cannot recommend Effres and Associates highly enough. Having lost a loved one due to malpractice, I was determined to find the best legal representation to seek justice for my family. We researched and interviewed many lawyers, and Stephen and Justin Effres stood out in every aspect; their knowledge and experience in the malpractice field, their record of winning cases, their patient guidance through the entire legal process, and their accessibility and responsiveness is unsurpassed. They treated us with genuine kindness and respect, and made such a difficult time for our family bearable. We always felt that they had our best interests in mind. They did such a great job on our case and we were extremely happy with the outcome. I highly recommend choosing them for your legal counsel. read more

Horrible! will not give you the time of day. If you call and speak with a young woman, she doesn't take all the information down correctly let alone really listen. I feel like my case wasn't presented right to the lawyers. Not even enough for them to At least give me a call back or a reason why they wouldn't take my case. I would look else where as there are other dental malpractice lawyers in Southern California. There information on there site is inaccurate! I am going to lose a few teeth due to bad root canals performed and yet I supposedly have no case. read more
