I think they are the best lawyers I have spoken with in the past year or two. And oddly enough, I have spoken to quite a few on a variety of topics. lol with me, there is always something to be litigious about lately! Ha life. I think I would probably put the whole firm on retainer for a plethora of reasons if. I had my druthers. I recommend at least getting a consultation with them. If I ever do get an opportunity to work with them I will follow up with that as well. Five stars for a good first impression.

I was referred to Ben in 2020 after I took it upon myself to file an industrial injury/workers…read morecompensation claim. The claim was initially denied, as is the case in the majority of claims filed, and a court date was set. It was then I called Bens office and he was able to successfully obtain a rather generous award after a short period of time. While working with him on my claim I came to realize that he possesses a wealth of knowledge about the workers compensation system and always had an answer to any questions or concerns I had. Ben is still diligently working on getting me a lifetime award through another type of claim he filed on my behalf because of the accumulation of injuries I sustained over my 30 plus years with my employer. Unlike the negative reviews that are out there, I can't imagine nor did I ever experience Ben not following up with me after I contacted him or him giving any type of bad advice. I would not give any weight to what was written that is not positive about him. Some people are just unhappy no matter what transpires. I actually referred a co-worker to him and Ben has handled his case successfully and with great results also. If you or any one you know has been injured in connection with their place for employment I would not hesitate to contact Ben Helfman for representation.

From the very first call, Griff Tonkin and his entire firm treated me with genuine care and patience that made all the difference. Griff took the time to explain every single step in plain English--no legal jargon, no rushing through things. He broke down the complicated parts so I actually understood what was happening and why. Every decision felt clear because of how transparently he communicated. He kept me updated constantly--phone calls, emails, you name it--so I never felt in the dark or anxious about the next move. His patience was incredible; he answered every question (and I had a lot!) without ever making me feel like I was bothering him. That level of support and honesty built so much confidence in me throughout the whole process. I never second-guessed any choices because I knew Griff had my back and was always putting my best interests first. Thanks to Griff and his caring team, my settlement went smoothly, and I got the fair outcome I deserved. Do yourself a favor and reach out to Griff Tonkin at Arthofer & Tonkin. They're compassionate, professional, and truly exceptional. I can't recommend them highly enough--hands down the best choice I made!

You can tell that this is more then a paycheck for this team. They truly care about you and your family's well being. We never once felt like just another client and the attentiveness of his team was beyond belief. It took 4 years to settle our case, but they were there every step forward, every setback. There was constant communication and I never had to wonder where our case was. This was a life changing event, and I am so grateful to everyone in that office. They made sure we could heal as a family and it was reassuring to know that we didn't have to shoulder this burden on our own. Words can never truly express how lucky we were to have Arthofer & Tonkin on our side.

Max's son, Barrick, is the one who assisted me and his concern for our family's well being and his motivation to make us whole again was clear from the very beginning. I called several law offices and told them our tragic story, and Barrick was by far the most genuine and caring lawyer. He was quick to discuss the technical and legal matters that could impede the case, and he (along with his assistant, Misty), immediately started working on a plan for us. I felt like Barrick really went the extra mile for us. In the end, we didn't have enough evidence to put the case together for wrongful death, but Barrick made sure we understood why and what we could do next. He is a true professional and works hard for people. I would recommend Barrick and the Max G Arnold law office in Redding, CA if you need legal help. They are very thorough and will really stick with you to the end, even if you don't go to trial.

So, I don't have a lot of love for attorneys. Most of them strike me as cutthroat, distant,…read morenarcissistic sharks who think studying the law entitles them to an arrogance the size of their law school debts. Throw in the fact I'm from a pretty economically challenged background and most attorneys waste more money on booze in a month than I make in ten years, it is really difficult to must a lot of respect for them. When someone close to me retained these law offices for their personal injury suit, I had no illusions that things would be different. However, I would soon eat my words. Whereas I believed that Max and his associate attorneys would be the epitome of privilege, they were anything but. Max set my loved one on an immediately treatment plan and there were weekly calls from his secretarial staff, asking how things were going and how the pain was. Even better, despite the poor credit, he was able to negotiate liens with all of the medical providers, so the treatment professionals weren't constantly hounding them for payment. When the case was finally litigated successfully, it was all thanks to the hard work of Max. I can't say enough positive things about his extremely professional staff, his in-depth understanding of the law and ultimately his total dedication to my loved one. I was initially apprehensive, because there really isn't a lot on the Internet about this guy, but his picture is on the back of the phone book. I don't know what that costs, but I don't imagine that it's particularly cheap, so eventually we reasoned he must have some kind of success to draw on. Since Yelp is our generation's word-of-mouth, I thought I'd hop on here and give Max some free publicity. If you want a decent attorney who will make sure to put their needs ahead of yours, pick any random name for a Rolodex and hope you don't drown in attorney's fees. But if you want the best and most fair attorney in the Bay Area who will put your needs first, I cannot stress this enough: call Max.

As a lawyer, he is so talented and experienced, also caring that he can take on any size or complexity of case.

I saw Michael handle other cases that I referred to him and the clients have always been very happy. Michael's firm and people working in his office are also very helpful and courteous, professional. He's actually not local to us nor a lot of people I referred (because we happened to live far anyway). It sometimes took us an entire day or 2 days to meet him, but it was more than worth the travel and time.
