I wanted to sincerely thank Mr. Kopelson for taking the time to speak with me and for offering such thoughtful and constructive advice during the consultation. I truly appreciate his generosity in sharing yoinsights and helping me better understand my situation. Although Mr. Kopelson is not able to take on my case, his guidance has been incredibly helpful and has given me a clearer sense of direction moving forward. It means a great deal that an expert in the field is willing to offer his expertise so openly. I highly recommend you give him a call if you get in a MVA injury. You will work out of the phone call feeling more relieved. read more

Best and honest attorney, very helpful even though he didn't accept certain cases.. he still spent his time to educate clients and gave the referral as needed. This is the 2nd times he gave me free advice on legal matters. I really respect this attorney...wish he can help me in the future. read more

If you are frustrated after a car accident, feeling treated unfairly, struggling, and praying for a light, that light comes from Robert. Although Robert could not take my case because he focuses on major injury matters, he spent more than two hours helping a complete stranger and giving professional guidance without any financial benefit. What enables someone to do that? Kindness and love. My church sister received his help and recommended him to me, and today I was deeply moved. Regardless of how any case turns out, I am grateful to have met him. For the first time in two months, I felt relief instead of stress. Do not let a few negative comments make you misunderstand an honest and good person. Robert is an attorney who is not driven by business, but by a genuine heart to help. read more

Mr Kopelson handeled a trauma car accident for me in 1985 and did an excellent job! He is kind caring and helps you through a very tough time highly recommend him read more

This review is long due. Robert helped us out when my wife met with a car accident when she was pregnant, in 2020. He was a patient listener when we narrated the whole incident and discussed every minute detail with us. He advised and consulted with us about everything and before taking the next step. Helped us negotiate with the insurance as well as with Kaiser and handled all proceedings for us. He was very thorough and has the experience and knowledge to maneuver through complex and critical situations. Thank You Robert! read more

I found Robert from Yelp's review as for a recent car collision I involved (I got t-boned at the 4-way stop intersection). I was trying to get some professional advice after I found out the other party twisted their story. Their insurance has denied my insurance claim & the case is taking into arbitration. Robert replied my email immediately with numerous questions about my accident details. He even offered F2F free consultation to go through the details. Although it's not the type of case Robert would take (he's specialized in serious injury accidents), he gave lots of valuable advice on how my insurance & my rights to protect my properties & interests. I would highly recommend Robert to anyone that needs his professional service. Thank you Robert. read more

I called Robert about auto accident and he gave me great advice to handle the issue with other part involves the accident. He did this without charging me and I was super happy with his honesty and experience. Absolutely recommend! read more

It was a pleasure consulting with Mr. Kopelson, even though he didn't end up taking my case. He is helpful, professional, and takes the time to understand your situation and this attorney spent so much time with me explaining the best outcome of my case. I highly recommend this firm for everyone. Thank you Mr Kopelson. read more

I contacted Robert after an accident. I had been unable to get any traction on my claims with the at fault driver's insurance company. Robert spent a lot of time understanding the exact case. While he was unable to take the case, he gave me a lot of excellent advice on what I needed to do to protect my interests and also to make my case stronger. His advice was truly appreciated. read more

Robert was extremely helpful in my accident case. My parked car was hit in Bakersfield CA while attending a wedding. The man at faults insurance was taking a long time to pay out my totaled vehicle. I was interested in hiring an attorney to help me get my money. I called Roberts office and they asked for some of the details in my case. They put me on hold and Robert quickly picked up the phone. He basically told me it not economically feasible to hire an attorney. The amount he would charge and what I would get from the insurance would not get me a positive gain. He advised on how to move forward with the insurance and if I had to, sue the person responsible. I really appreciate the time and effort Robert gave me. I understand the value of their time and advice. I was not charged for anything as this was all over the phone. Im sure if he spends this much time with a person that is not actually his client, he will go above and beyond for a person that hires him. Thank you Robert and your staff! read more

I spoke with Attorney Kopelson (Robert) last week concerning a traffic accident (rear-end collision). I respectfully disagree with the very few negative Yelp reviews of Robert. I think the review gives an unfair, one-sided depiction of Robert's personality. After speaking with Robert over the phone during a consultation with him, here are some of my honest reflections: ---He generously gave me time to tell him about my case and to holistically understand my situation. -- He listened, asked me the right questions, and gave me sound legal advice based on all the relevant information I provided. ---He was forthright and honest throughout our entire conversation. ---He showed skill in being able to place himself in the position of the other side and to thoughtfully consider the other side's arguments. ---He demonstrated ethical discernment as he evaluated my case. ---Robert was friendly and open, which made talking with him and getting to know him a truly enjoyable experience. I wish I could have spent more time talking to him! I believe Robert makes a true difference in people's lives, one contact and one case at a time. I highly recommend you calling Attorney Kopelson if you have any questions concerning a personal injury and want to talk to an ethical, honest, experienced (40-year law practice), sharp, smart, and exceptional person/attorney to represent you. read more

Really honest and great guy!. I talked to him Attorney Kopelson one week ago and asked for his advice. He was really kind, honest and very straight forward person. I will definitely recommend this person! Thanks for the great advice! read more

I reached out to Robert and he provided instrumental information to help quickly close my mother's case. With Robert, rest assured you will be meticulously informed and justly protected under the court of law. Thank you for your support! read more

I have been looking for a PI attorney for a recent multi-car accident, wherein my car was totaled and my sister injured. The details are a bit complicated and frustrating so I requested a consultation with Mr. Kopelson and he replied very quickly (considering the demands of his case load). He was very honest and provided some very helpful advice and recommendations I otherwise would not have known. It appears we were unable to do business, however, he did provide names of some other attorneys that may be able to help with my case so I will be contacting them. I would like to thank him for his time and attention in that other attorneys may not have even taken the time to reply. read more

Robert wasn't exactly right tor my situation but took the time to help point me in the right direction. Very well spoken and very knowledgeable. Thanks again read more

You Want Him On Your Side..... My wife was injured on a cruise ship and we needed to find an appropriate attorney to handle the matter. I did some research on Yelp and came across the almost unanimously great reviews for Mr. Kopelson...so I called. Since he wasn't available at the time, the receptionist asked several questions so Mr. Kopelson would have a reasonable idea of our situation. I didn't expect him to call back for a while, but he was on the phone with me about an hour later. Although he quickly recognized we needed an attorney with a somewhat different specialty, Mr Kopelson offered his perspective on our circumstances which I found quite valuable. If my contact with Mr Kopelson ended at this point, I probably wouldn't have written a review. However, he sent a letter which arrived a few days after the call outlining some additional suggestions. He didn't have to do it, especially since the particular expertise we needed was missing, but the follow-up was so impressive I was moved to take note If our experience was a small sample of Mr Kopelson's work for his clients, I'd definitely reach out to him when in need of a personal injury attorney. read more

This is a long overdue review for Mr. Robert. I had an incident with a stranger in the park that involved my toddler son few months ago. I couldn't elaborate the detail of the incident, however, I needed a personal injury lawyer to consult my concerns at that moment. I sent private messages to different lawyers and Mr. Robert was one of the lawyers that was very responsive to all my detailed questions. He was very attentive in answering all my concerns and questions. He is also very knowledgable particularly about injury. I absolutely recommend Dr. Robert to anyone who needs advice and consultation regarding personal injury. Bookmark his business, you will never know when you'll need a lawyer! read more

This review is way too long overdue. Four years ago I got into a very large multiple car accident on 880 and the accident ended up closing nearly all lanes on the highway. Long story short, my car was totaled and the person at fault fled the scene (stolen car) and I did not have UM coverage with a large sum of hospital bills getting sent to me from my passengers insurance company. My lawyer I was working with ended up becoming unreachable (maybe because I did not rack up my own hospital bills..?) and I could never reach him for answers. Mr Robert called me back within a couple hours after I left a voicemail and helped explain everything to me and told me what will happen and everything happened as he said it would. He was very approachable, knowledgeable and was so kind enough to advise me during this traumatic time of my life... I am truly grateful for his help and I really really recommend him highly to others if they are ever in unfortunate situations. read more

We are at the beginning of a PI case, and felt overwhelmed and confused by the alternatives and potential hazards. Mr. Kopelson was referred to us by a very good friend of ours. I'm glad to report that Mr. Kopelson took to time to do a preliminary evaluation of our case, went through the letters we received over the phone, and provided us with solid advice. We are not sure how things will evolve, but at least for now, I feel confident we got sound advice and a path forward. If our case requires an attorney, I will hire the services of Mr. Kopelson without any doubt. read more

Robert is very experienced, knowledgeable attorney. He is a great listener, catches small details, makes you feel relaxed and protected. Thank you Robert read more

I was involved in car accident as a passenger last year and sustained serious injuries. I went to Mr. Robert B Kopelson and explained to him about the incident. I wanted to seek his legal advice on matters of compensation for my injuries from the insurance company. He was kind enough to explain to me in detail what the process was and what to expect. From the conversation I understood that he was very experienced and has dealt with a number of personal injury cases over the years.I hired him immediately to represent me and not once did I second guess that decision. I was pretty much hands off during the entire process from day one. It was Robert and his assistant Lori who kept me regularly informed with the proceedings and took care of everything. Robert has been nothing but honest and professional and I am extremely happy with the outcome of my case. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you for all the help. read more

I know Mr. Kopelson for a long time as a colleague. I know he is an expert in handling Personal Injury cases. He is an excellent attorney as he is a very caring and patient person. The most important is that he is ethical and always puts his client's benefits ahead of anything. As attorneys, we make an effort to provide useful information to our clients and try to give them as accurate answers as possible to their legal inquiries. People look at things from different angles. Attorneys start from what is required by law and for the best interests for Clients. If Robert asks for more detail information from a client, that must be from a legal reason triggered by his lengthy law practices. Sometimes it could be difficult to be understood by a layperson, but for sure, he does these for the best interests of a client. All in one, Rober is a trustworthy, excellent and experienced personal injury law attorney. read more

Mr. Kopelson was very patient in explaining options. He took the time out of the busy schedule to go over all the details eventhough he wasn't charging me anything at all! He did not make me feel rushed at all. He was great. He did explain that he handles serious injury accidents only. I would absolutely recommend him for this types of situations. We love you Mr. Kopelson! Your a sweetheart. Definitely referring to friends, family, and co-workers! read more

Amazing attorney. Mr.cool answered all my questions with lot of patience. Thank you so much read more

I called Mr. Kopelson to discuss a minor incident in which I had been involved. He gave me several tips and information that helped me out. When I told him I would probably contact him if the other party in the incident decided to take any legal action, he said, "why would you do that? your insurance company has lots of high paid lawyers to help you out." Talk about honesty! The next week I received a follow up letter from him summarizing our discussion and adding a few more details. Mr Kopelson seems like a very knowledgeable and straight-forward individual and I would definitely call on him again should the need arise. read more

Ethical, trustworthy, honest and a tireless work ethic with meticulous attention to every imaginable detail that has even a remote chance of affecting the ultimate disposition of one's case. This is a good start in describing my experiences with legal representation provided by Mr. Kopelson. After my daughter was involved in a serious accident, the last thing I anticipated was being able to use many of the above adjectives to describe an attorney we ultimately selected to represent her. I expected the normal difficulties with communication, lack of proper attention to detail and the status quo with respect to interactions and follow-up, which one would envision in a typical personal injury case. However, Mr. Kopelson's brilliant handling of my daughter's case actually served to shatter many of my preconceived perceptions and prior experiences with legal representation. It is hard to imagine actually believing an attorney would continually place their client's best interests at the forefront of a legal case's respective priority list until the litigation was ultimately settled. Again, Mr. Kopelson defied all expectations in this regard. It is difficult to describe the relief I felt upon finally realizing that my normal tendency of second guessing every move and detail was no longer required. To know that my daughter's attorney was fighting tooth and nail for her best interests provided an immense degree of comfort and relieved me of a significant amount of anxiety any dad would feel in a similar situation. I am not an individual who is easily impressed, nor one to pen accolades unnecessarily, however, I can say unequivocally that I truly feel that we could not have asked for better legal representation or a more diligent, conscientious and harder working attorney than Robert. My expectations were exceed by an immense degree in every aspect by Mr. Kopelson, and I would not hesitate referring any friend or family member to him! read more

I stumbled upon Mr. Kopelson's yelp page when I was looking for good lawyers in San Jose. I called the number and after talking to the secretary I was able to get in touch with Mr. Kopelson's right away. He was very detailed oriented and took notes on my case, which was a very messy and complicated one. I was actually surprised at how long I spent on the phone with him for: FOR OVER 1 HOUR! There is no other place that can give you great advice over the phone for FREE. Even though he specializes in Injury, he is very knowledgeable about civil cases and real estate. After a whole hour, he suggested I find a good lawyer who specializes in real estate in my area, and to call him back because he might know more about the lawyer I will be choosing. Mr. Kopelson really cares about his clients, he will fight for you to the best of his ability. read more

Update 7 months later! After my unpleasant experience with Mr. Kopelson, I felt motivated to do my own research and educate myself on this entire process of the aftermath of a car accident. I negotiated with my mothers insurance company, myself, and got them to offer the policy limits for the other driver and her own underinsured policy limit. Had we hired Mr.Kopelson, he would have done the same and taken 40% of the money. Thanks Mr.Kopelson for saving my mom the money she would have had to pay you! When I originally spoke to Mr.Kopelson he was assuming that my mother would be at fault based on his "examples" from his previous cases, even though he didn't even see the police report or witness statements from my moms accident. Turns out the insurance company decided my mom was fault free. Other guy was 100% at fault. Oh and Medicare paid over 2 million dollars for her surgeries for her 9 broken bones. I negotiated with them as well, they sent a letter stating she does not have to reimburse medicare a penny. Again thanks Mr.Kopelson, your quick advice ended up benefiting us a lot! read more

I am very impressed by Mr. Robert B Kopelson. After talking to him, and discussing my accident injury over the phone for 40 minutes, I understand more about what will/should happen rather than just worrying and blindly relying on my insurance company to be fair with me. If things won't get better in my case, and I have to take legal actions, Attorney Robert will be my first choice. He's very nice, polite, and he listens to everything you have to say. I highly recommend him. Thank You, Mr. Robert for your advices. read more

Robert is an experienced, sharp and honest gentlemen. you cannot say this about most of the attorneys. He provided me with lot of good insights in first consultation. read more

Despite so many seriously shady looking characters on yelp under the category of Personal Injury Lawyers, I did manage to find Mr. Kopelson. I am currently dealing with AAA trying to screw my girlfriend out of a fair settlement and Mr. Kopelson gave me some valuable advice. In this case it didn't make sense to actually retain his services because it might not get her any more money after fees. Despite this, he spent over an hour on the phone with me about what I could do on my own. In other news, I'm never getting insurance with AAA again. While they have been good as my insurer in the past, being on the other side as the claimant has been horrible. Rude unprofessional behavior that is clearly designed to make us give up and take their BS offer has been their tactic since day 1. I hear this is their standard MO in claims involving bodily injury. I will be using State Farm in the future. I'm also writing this review because there are too many scum-bags padding their own reviews. This guy is a professional that you should seriously consider. read more

I would like to thanks Mr. Kopelson for helping me. Mr. Kopelson is an excellent attorney to get help and advices. Even at the beginning when we were not his client, he didn't mind spending lots of time explaining and advising us what we should do. When we think of lawyers and attorneys, we would worry that we can't afford a long conversation. Mr. Kopelson is different. He doesn't mind spending the time to talk to us and addressing all our concerns. He is more interested in helping people. I feel honored to get to know Mr. Kopelson. read more

Having had been in a recent car accident, I did some research and found Mr. Kopelson about 3 weeks ago. After a phone call to his office, I received an immediate call back from Robert himself. We talked about what had transpired during the time of the accident, all the way up to and including his experience with similar situations such as mine that he has handled in the past. I have to say that he was extremely knowledgeable and brought insight to the very confusing insurance claim/injury arena that the average person wouldn't have a clue as to what needs to be done during this trying and frustrating time. Being without a vehicle, various aches and pains and not knowing which direction to take this situation was explained to me in the simplest of terms. Mr. Kopelson took the time to give his professional feedback and made me feel at ease. His firm had even sent me a letter highlighting what we had gone over during our phone conversation. I would definitely recommend contacting Robert to anyone who was in my situation. He really seems to care that you get what you are rightfully entitled to. read more

Quite a guy that truly cares. He's not about the almighty dollar. Although he is not my attorney of record, he educated me enough to allow me time to find good representation. Thank you Robert Kopelson. You are a true gem. read more

If your looking for a honest personal injury lawyer i highly suggest Robert. Despite my case being something he doesnt handle... He gave me suggestions and referrals to someone who may help me. So far i had a handful of attorneys brush me off... But Robert took the time to give me some insight and various scenarios. I appreciate his time. Its too bad i could not have him represent me. To all, good luck! read more

Even Robert was not able to be my attorney on my case, he still gave me a lot of information. He is really nice, and I would definitely recommend him to my friends if anyone needs an attorney. read more

After reading this Yelp resource I decided to give Mr. Kopelson a call. And just like the others here have said, he spent a lot of time discussing my worker's comp - personal injury case (a traffic accident while working). Right up front Mr. Kopelson advised that he couldn't take my case due to the worker's comp specialization that would be needed. But then he proceeded to discuss strategy and tactics and the need to get a thorough diagnosis of my injuries. He told me what I might expect and helped me to be more prepared. He offered to refer me to a Workers Comp. attorney as well, and advised that due to the worker's comp aspect, my case would likely be complicated by the fact that my employer also is a plaintiff, and that any settlement for my personal injury would likely come only after the insurance carrier for the defendant settles with my employer. The remarkable thing was that Robert has no stake in this and told me so up front. But despite having nothing to gain but good will, he graciously offered his time in a lengthy phone call. Then he followed up wih diligence the next day with a letter restating our talking points. My late brother was an attorney. I don't think I could have received more attention and sound advice from my own brother, if he were alive today. Thank you Robert Kopelson! read more

I contacted Mr. Kopelson to discuss a motorcycle accident. He gave me useful tips and information that calmed me down. Robert patiently listened to me on the phone, asked me questions whenever I couldn't explain the situation clearly. He was polite and understanding during the whole conversation. After learning completely about my situation, Robert advised me as what was the right thing to do. I am lucky I had a chance to seek advice from Robert. The next week I received a follow up letter from him summarizing our discussion and adding a few more thoughts. WOW... Mr. Kopelson is a true professional and up to the point attorney and I would definitely call on him again should I need his help. He changed my perception about our judicial system and brought back faith in me. In my view, he is one of the best in the trade. read more

I have been involved in an accident and i left a message to Robert with my info , he called me shortly after i left the message he then took the time and spent an hour to explain me how it go's and what should i do and it was on a Sunday!! I really appreciate that ! He was very clear and easy to understand and of course VERY helpful !! I'd recommend! read more

I'm so glad I was able to speak with Robert. He is a very knowledgeable car accident attorney. He was patient and took the time to carefully understand my situation and offer different solutions. I highly recommend! read more
