After seeing and hearing the multitude of ads on TV and radio for the Sawaya Law Firm - I turned to them when I needed help with a traffic accident while riding in a rideshare! The length of the case was a bit too long and drawn out (partial fault to COVID) with the exchanging of the case between lawyers. Yet, the lawyer that took care of me best was Jordan Warner! See her for your needs! read more

I did more work on my case than Sawaya firm did. They lost all my supplied paperwork, very disorganized. I had to insist the initial Paralegal be pulled off my case (incompetence), and when we finally got a settlement agreement, the one that was presented to me by my attorney (he reviewed and approved it) was so poorly written and missing so many legal protections, I had to completely rewrite it myself. Pretty basic stuff for an injury settlement missing, leaving me legally and financially exposed if accepted as presente od. They grossly miscalculated interest on fronted expenses (yeah, they charge you interest on any expenses they incur like document prep!). For the high fees charged with minimal time invested by Sawaya Firm, Id expect a much higher level of legal competence and client protection. Do not recommend. Nice folks though. I would recommend you go with a law firm that charges hourly, not one of these contingency firms. Their incentive is to get to a QUICK settlement, take their 40% (with out of pocket fees and interest), and move on. You will fair much better and cheaper if you pay hourly somewhere else. Remember, they settle nearly all of their cases (whether good for you or not), which means you will always pay for services and a very high imputed hourly rate considering they really dont spend much time on any individual case normally. As an example, 8 hours of actual time spent on a case, pocket $20k as a fee...you do the math. read more

I hired Sawaya Law Firm to handle my car accident when a lovely Colorado reckless drive hit my vehicle with my 9-year-old and 2-year-old in the vehicle. This process has been a nightmare and Sawaya Law Firm has not made it any easier... I would not recommend this law firm ever! I patiently waited just to see if anyone would notice before reaching out. I waited 90 days 9.0. freakin days and nobody ever noticed. I am positive that nobody would've even noticed until the Medical Facilities start asking for their money. I finally had to reach out. If I have to do their job for them then why should they deserve my business? I wish hadn't wasted my time with this law firm... I wish I wouldn't have decided to be an attorney and do nothing for clients and get paid for it... Don't waste your time with this law firm people... If I could give ZERO RATING I WOULD HAVE... All those attorneys and not one of one can close my case... read more

I am really grateful for all the support I received from everyone here while working on my case. My attorney Sarah Schreiber and her paralegals Alicia Collins and Sharon Shibata where always really communicative and patient with me through this whole process. Dealing with a lawsuit for more than 3 years wasn't easy, but im glad I was able to have them on my corner. Sarah didn't just back me up legally but also emotionally thought this stressful process, and for that I will forever be grateful to her read more

I find it very odd to see the less than happy reviews for Sawaya. My experience was top notch. I was hit by a car an now I walk like an Egyptian. Well, not exactly, but the long story is tedious and irrelevant. What matters is that I needed legal counsel to manage my claims process with the insurance companies. I was assigned Zach Elsner and Erin Treadwell as my legal team, and could not be happier. Folks, these things are battles, and not the type that are won in days or weeks, but months, and sometimes years. Zach and Erin were perfectly communicative when I needed to act on something, had an update, or just the occasional check in to make sure they know where we all were in the process. If your hurt, you need more than peace of mind. You need an advocate that is going to take care of business on your behalf. If you need a personal injury attorney, I think that Sawaya is a strong option. Highly professional, and more than anything else, I never felt like they were a bunch of ambulance chasers. I hope I never have to use them again, but if I ever get rag-dolled by an SUV in the future, I know where to turn. read more

Kassandra was extremely amazing, she took the time to thoroughly explain things to me and also went out of her way to make sure I was completely satisfied. I highly recommend Sawaya law firm! read more

' ! I called and tried to explain my situation, and she would keep interrupting me to tell me that I "do not qualify" when she hadn't even finished listening to me or even knew anything about my case. The Consult was rude, condescending, demanding, and basically told me to shut up or she would terminate the call, so I did. She started talking to me and I was listening, she then got angry when I didn't answer her rhetorical question while she was speaking because I didn't want to speak again and her to hang up on me. I responded, telling her I was listening and waiting for her to finish talking like she told me to, so that she wouldn't hang up on me, that's when she said she was done with me and hung up. She obviously didn't want to hear or take down any information, whether it's due to pure laziness or that they just don't have the "capable staff" to take on cases. She was rude and disrespectful. She made me feel stupid and beneath her. You shouldn't be in the business of helping people with disabilities if your staff lacks any human compassion or understanding of how to communicate with people who have disabilities. read more

Sarah Schreiber and her assistant Alicia Collins did a fantastic job working to reach a settlement on my case pre-litigation. The paperwork was always in order, they followed up on everything, and Sarah explained in detail each step of the process so that I did not feel as though I was working in a vacuum. Because I was dealing with a severe concussion for a good chunk of the three-year period I worked with Sawaya, they had a lot of tracking and follow up to do with me to be sure everything was taken care of / signed in a timely manner. They did it with kindness and efficiency, getting their job done but with empathy towards my situation. I truly appreciate the work they did and the way that they handled my case. read more

Coming out of 'Yelp Retirement' to make sure people know how fantastic the representation is here. I have an extremely complicated case that is taking several years to resolve. I couldn't be happier with the work being done on my behalf by Zach Elsner, Stacey Klein and Carlo (Sorry, I failed to get your last name, Sir!). I am kept up-to-date, in the loop, and they are deeply committed to finding the best outcome for me. I hope you never need an injury attorney, but should you find yourself in this position, do not hesitate to use Michael Sawaya. He may be on TV, but he's NOT at TV attorney! He's a kind, sincere and genuinely caring individual who happens to be your future best friend with a law degree~ Srsly! read more

Sawaya Law Firm is the worst Law Firm I ever doubt with . I hired them because I was in a auto accident . I did most of the work collecting Medical and other important paperwork. Then they would not respond back to me for 3 months . So I fired them and now they're trying to charge me $4,000 plus and my wife $2,000 plus after we fired them . When they didn't do a damn thing for us . Do not let them represent you they are Crooks . read more

Apparantly Mike Sawaya has not heard of the First Amendment to the Constitution Freedom of Speech my first Yelp was removed by Sawaya I will say this again I drove an hour each way to there offices and I was kept waiting for 4 hours Sawaya appeared to be either Drunk or on drugs or both he was rude abusive so I left his offices after 10 minutes of speaking to him and a 6 hour trip a waste of gasoline and $$$$ I would not trust this group to fix a parking ticket for overtime parking schools out on Sawaya no class short mans Napoleon complex . read more

I have enjoyed working with Carmen Ortega. I felt working with her that she was fighting for me and really wanted to help. Highly recommended. read more

I would like to take a few moments to highlight the incredible experience I had with the Sawaya Law Firm. Morgan and Nicole were the managers assigned to my case, and I couldn't have asked for better representatives to handle my situation. It was a car accident case, and throughout the process Morgan and Nicole were true professionals... courteous, knowledgeable and always easy to talk to. They were always accessible and very responsive to my numerous questions. In the end, I was very happy with the settlement they were able to negotiate. I couldn't recommend the Sawaya Law Firm more to handle any legal situation you might have. Thank you, Sawaya! Luz Rodriguez. read more

I appreciate the professionalism and diligence of Robert Wilhite and the Team at Sawaya. They worked on my case for over three years and throughout the entire process I was kept well informed and felt like they were truly working on behalf of my best interest. My road ahead will never be the same but at least this part of my accident is now behind me. Thanks Rob! read more

I hired Sawaya Law Firm to handle my Social Security Disability Claim. After 2 years I was awarded favorable in my claim. On Aug 3 2021, Sawaya Law Firm was paid 6,000 which is their portion of the award for representing me. It is now Oct 20 2021 and I am still attempting to get my payment from Social Security and Sawaya Law Firm will not answer any of my calls to assist me getting paid. When Sawaya gets paid they won't answer my calls, they won't answer my emails, they are just done with me. This is very unfair practices and I will never recommend this law firm to anyone who files for social security and ask for their help. Find yourself another law firm to assist. To this date I am still fighting alone to get my payment from SSA and it is a substantial amount. Sawaya failed me really good. read more

Everyone is super helpful, and I never felt "in the dark" about any of the process. A real pleasure working with Nicole, Bernadette, and Ami :), I would recommend them to any needing a personal injury lawyer read more

I thought going to this law firm I would be treated with at least knowledge of what was going on. From the very beginning, my lawyer guided me to use an expensive therapist that didn't accept Medicaid. I explained I couldn't afford it, but he said it would be better for me case. I told him I also knew the law and they would have to accept it in this state if I went. Not only did my attorney drop off the planet to be replaced with someone who came into a huge mess, but this went on for 2.5 years, for a measly 50k. My attorney didn't even look into MY insurance and almost ended the case accepting only the drivers liability only. He would have missed another 25k had I not insisted he look at my insurance. The care was grossly mismanaged in my opinion and after telling them MULTIPLE TIMES that my Medicaid should cover my bills, I had a place REPORT ME on my credit. As well, MONTHS after settling, I got a call they still had a trust open and I was getting 5k more back, just to be drug on for 2 months more waiting for a check and finally be told it's HALF that and the amount they were referring to was what Medicaid paid for my services. I will NEVER use these guys again, I can't explain how much they put me through. ON TOP OF THAT, they referred me to a place that made my injury WORSE. read more

Professional compassionate representation was received by Sawaya Law Firm which I appreciated while coping with the challenges faced as a car accident victim. My appreciation of the priceless service received cannot be conveyed solely with words alone. read more

I hired Sawaya law for my Workman's Comp case. First call from my attorney he stated that I F###ed things up. I am not even sure they are representing me. Does not keep appointment phone calls, neither does my attorney address my questions. Been out of work for almost 4 months be and have recieved less than $10.00 for mileage alone. When the Insurance company denied my claim, the notice I received listed I had no attorney representation. I feel more like a mushroom than a client... My confidence is less than lacking. read more

I am a retired clinical psychologist who worked with personal injury clients for fifteen years. During that time I had occasion to work with a fair number of personal injury attorneys. My experience with Mr Sawaya was limited but I found him to be rude, abrupt and dismissive. More importantly, what I learned over my fifteen years dealing with personal injury clients and attorneys is that those attorneys who advertise on TV and radio (like Mr Sawaya) are often loathe to go to court and fight for their clients. Why? Because their advertising generates clients in bulk and they make their money based on a large number of quick, smaller settlements rather than going to court and winning larger but more time consuming settlements for their clients. The clients don't know any better and assume they received a fair settlement when in fact they may not have. For this reason I always referred personal injury patients to attorneys who did not advertise and were willing to go to court and fight for their clients. read more

The Sawaya team was amazing. My case manager was Morgan. He made this process so easy on my family and I. He kept me in the loop as the case progressed. If I ever had a question he was easy to reach and very on top of things. Nicole helped us with the financial part of our car accident case. I was delighted with her. She made me feel at ease and comfortable when we had to make important financial decisions. I am so pleased with the work that Morgan and Nicole provided us. By the way my family and I moved out of state during the course of our case, that was not a problem at all. We still receive outstanding service and our case did not have any set backs. Thank you Sawaya team! read more

Do your homework before you go here. The commercials are as corny as the firm. Big promises and minimal effort given to my case. Good luck getting in contact with your lawyer in a timely manner. I guess it all depends on how much you want to fake an injury and how long you want it to drag out. Even with the situation I had, figured it was solid, the insurance adjuster apparently had bigger cajones than my lawyer. Well, at least they got thier retainer, NEXT. After all, it's not about US, it's about the bottom line... MONEY. They honeslty did not care and it showed. You are rushed through a "process", sign this, sign that, we will call you. I got a lawyer to fight, not lay down and get the minimum. Thanks for your half assed effort. Now I can buy a bike instead of a replacement vehicle.... Saty clear of this firm. read more

Beyond disappointed how my case was handled from start to finish. My first contact with Sawaya law firm was more than three years ago. The attorneys missed deadlines and I was passed around to at least three different attorneys while my case was in their office. Communication was spotty and limited at best. Paperwork they asked me for was lost more than one time and I had to remind them when we were up against deadlines. At times I had to call the main number to even find out who my attorney was my case was passed around and neglected so much. I ultimately settled my case for the tiny crappy first offer that was initially made and now I have to give them 1/3 of it for nothing. Why did they drag this out for three years if they couldn't get more than the original offer that was made to me before I went to them? I wish I had used another law firm and I am sorry I chose Sawaya. Hopefully I am never in another accident but if I am I won't even consider using them again. read more

This man goes on TV and publicizes his cab reimbursement program. Sounds great, but when we actually tried to redeemed this offer--the check bounced! As a lawyer myself this is embarrassing and disappointing especially considering why he offers the reimbursement. If that's how he does business, I would not trust him with my case. read more

I tried email, left several messages, when I did reach someone they said they had tried to get back to me...NOT! Remember when you get an incoming call it's recorded on your phone. The firm kept telling me they would have a paralegal call me back but they never kept their word After about the 5th attempt the woman had the gall to say "oh I was just going to call you". Finally referred me to another lawyer who kindly told me I didn't have a case. Why couldn't they tell me that. read more

Mr. Mike Sawaya and his staff are really incredible. For over 3 years I was carried under their wing and went thru a lot of medical issues and complications from an Accident. With no income and medicaid, they ensured I received the best medical. Although I'm still in need of another surgery I know I tried every option. Most of my medical issues were resolved except One to have a neck surgery is left. I have to give extra kudos to Morgan Clonts as he did so much work for me as I was unable to. My Attny Nicole Ruth is also incredible. I'm sure I was a challenging client due to limitations. They are so patient, empathetic and problem solvers. Thank you!! read more

I got hit by a car 3 years ago and I had Sawaya as my lawyer... how I regret it. I was very young and naive and had no idea what was going on and wish I knew. There is no communication whatsoever and every time I went to speak to him I felt like he was very pushy and he was doing me a favor. He is extremely rude, and doesn't care about who he represents at all. Horrible, horrible experience!!! I had to finally settle because I was moving to another state. If you can stay away from this firm do so! read more

The Sawaya law firm was a great experience from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend them for any of your needs they will go above and beyond!! read more

I cannot say enough about this law firm! Absolutely every person I have dealt with has been top notch! My attorney Kailee McClure is amazing, and I was in great hands! She went out on maternity leave just as my case was settling, as a mom I totally understand but I was a bit nervous at first to work with someone new. Especially because she was so good. However the lawyer that took over was AMAZING! Jason Carpenter took such good care of me! Not only did he take the time to get to know me so I felt comfortable with him working on my case but he also explained every step of the way and in great detail. He is extremely knowledgeable and fought for me to get a great settlement. Thank you Jason! Also a big shout out to Oscar Silva the legal aid assisting with my case! He took all of my calls and answered my millions of questions, and was always super kind! Having a brain injury derailed my life. On top of that, being a work related injury makes it confusing and hard to navigate. Having this incredible team fighting for me so I could focus on getting better was amazing! I highly recommend them!! read more

After reading the reviews i was leary. The 1st 8 months were touch and go but after getting in touch with michael douglas harris everything went smoothly. He was honest and prompt on any questions I had. I think it all depends on who you end up with but he was great for my 1st and hopefully only time working with a lawyer. read more

I seen him on tv and thought he looked like an honest caring person, boy was I wrong, I was involved in an accident , I was hit from behind and hit my face on the steering wheel and broke my front teeth and hurt my neck in 2010, Sawaya law firm was TERRIBLE! No calls back, I had to call and call before I found out the attorney on my case was no longer there, I called Mr. Sawaya and he never even called back, I finally settled the case and received nothing after I had to pay all the bills myself. read more

The experience I had with the Sawaya Law Firm and Rob Wilhite was seamless. They made sure my case was handled in a professional and courteous manner. Any questions I did have were answered promptly and to my satisfaction. I would definitely recommend Rob personally and the law firm as well for any legal issues you may have in the future. Thanks guys for the great job! read more

Hiring the Sawaya Law firm has been one of the worst experiences of my life. My two kids were hurt in an accident. Pretty much no communication for 3 years. I had to contact them to remind that the statute of limitations was running out and to file the law suit. So they advise me to settle for the least amount possible so we don't go to trial. My kids attorney tells me that as soon as my daughter turns 18 to go in and get her check. She goes in after her 18th birthday, they haven't paid any medical bills or anything and he has no clue why she is even there. I wish I would've known how incompetent they were before I hired them. read more

Well December 2015 I had contacted the law firm in regards to taking my case. The woman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful she seemed very interested in my case. Well after speaking to her for over 20 minutes on the phone she advised me I would be contacted the next day. Well the next day came and went I heard nothing. 2 more days passed I contacted another lawyer who was recommended by a friend he immediately came to my house and took my case. Well 3 weeks later I was finally contacted by the Sawaya Law Firm not by phone but by email that they weren't going to take my case how ridiculous is that. Are you kidding me. What a waste don't bother with this law firm they only want the easy cases. read more

Hi I wished I would of read yelp before I got entangled with sawaya they have had my case going on 2 1/2 years they have changed lawyers and made promises and they do a lot of stalling and they lose a lot of people they even set me up with an appt and my attorney forgot or something and cause I hadn't been there in a year they said I was meeting with my attorney they sent another guy thinking I was so stupid I would recognize him he came with a manila folder with one piece of paper in it what a joke . I still haven't settle I thinking of just forgetting this place so the next time u see sawaya on TV it's all a faux read more

The biggest complaint I have is the lack of communication between me and my changing roster of litigators and assistants. It's strange to call your lawyer only to find that they have left the firm. Considering my car accident didn't involve any permanent scarring or dismemberment, my case wasn't "major". In the end Rich Casey and Alicia did a great job and I am eternally grateful to them. read more

My doctor appointments were done in May of 2015 and I am still waiting for them to settle with the other insurance company it is now mid February 2016! My case has been switched around to different lawyers they don't return calls and I am constantly having to harass them about my case. I DO NOT recommend them at all unless you have 10 years to kill. read more

Buyer beware! I used Sawaya for a lengthy case, during this time my Lawyer was switched three times. One week before the hearing I was told I would be represented by a Non-Lawyer! Needless to say we lost the case. Don't send in a Paralegal to do what a client is paying for a Lawyer to do! read more

This firm changed attorneys 4 times and the last lady was a real sweetheart (catch the sarcasm) on my daughter. She was hit by a drunk I.C.E. Federal Agent who crossed the centerline than fled the scene, drove by a cop with a ripped off bumper and it wasn't until he saw my daughters car totaled to,the light bulb go on???. 1. He's still employed 2. My daughter walk away with under 5K, Sawaya over 33K, medical? Case settled for 100K. They didn't negotiate her medical debt they paid out, kept their money. The money is all they Sawaya cares south, once he got paid they quit working. Highly advise against using this firm. PS - the communication was horrible and when you did hear back it was from a new employee that's been assigned to your case. When 4 attorneys quit during the course of your case....red flag? read more

I was injured in car accident in August 14, 2018. I contacted the law firm for consultation for my claim. In my initial visit everyone seemed very professional and caring, Since then things have changed. It start off with been given wrong doctors and physical therapy information for scheduling. Then I was advised to go to pain clinic without looking at my injury information. Then finally they got me schedule with Therhand for physical therapy and Chrioprator. When I orginally signed paper I indictated with Sawaya law firm and Therhand I have medical conditions and may miss appointments due to my illness. I was advised it wasn't an issue. Until I became ill and caught flu twice. So inFebruary 2019 . I was advised by Matt who works for Sawaya law firm.It wouldn't be in my best interest not to continue getting treatment, because it wouldn't help my claim, so they closed my treatment out with Therhand. So I spoke to Lynda who I have consistently follow up via email and calling several times. I was advised to list all issue health issues since I jury est. I emailed all my info over and never heard back after confirmed she received it. So sent a follow up email in April 23 2019. She responded setting up a conference call with Matt who is VERY combative and will attempt to more so try to intimidate you by offering to close your claim and go else. So during conversation I expressed my concerns and wanted to speak to Mike Sawaya. He declined me twice and once I advised I would contact Mike myself he said he would follow up with Lynda. Due to the inconsistent information and time lapse on follow ups prior from Lynda. I would like Mike Sawaya to contact me to discuss my claim. read more
