Vincent D.Highly recommend this law firm, very professional, great staff, the team will get services you need, with a great settlement.

I regret hiring this law firm to handle my auto accident case. After being rear-ended in June 2023, the case finally settled in June 2025 -- two years later. Throughout that time, I had to initiate contact to get updates, and I only received my settlement check on July 31, 2025, after personally following up. While the attorney fee was 40% of the $20,000 settlement, there were also nearly $3,000 in legal costs and over $5,600 in medical expenses deducted. In the end, I received just $3,376.88 -- less than 17% of the total recovery. From a client's perspective, it felt like the majority of the settlement was gone before I saw anything. That was incredibly frustrating, especially given the time it took to resolve the case. In my personal opinion, this was the worst legal experience I've ever had. I expected better communication and a more equitable outcome. I'm sharing this so others can make an informed decision. read more

Shawn Steel Law Firm came highly recommend from a trustworthy friend. We knew we could trust them based on his word alone. However, Never having worked with an attorney before we did not know what to expect. Our paralegal was exceptional in communicating all the expectations from this type of a case. The timetable was as expected and in the end we could not have been more grateful for retaining an attorney and receiving the protection and representation we needed. We were more than pleased with our settlement. Thank you Shawn Steel Law Firm read more

Steel & Eisner, LLP - Car accident - Personal Injury Law Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Been working with them for over 15 years. Would not go anywhere else for our cases and always recommend for our patients.

Overall, I am satisfied with my decision to pick Shawn Steel Law firm. I am content with my personal injury settlement given that I was in treatment for a year. I would recommend them to friends and family members but, I would also prep them on some of the shortcomings of the firm and what to ask as their case progresses. Things they did well: -Communicated quickly if they could take my case. -Supported me with getting access to treatment. - Supported me with ensuring that I did not pay for any of my medical bills until the case was settled. -Sent bi-weekly/ monthly surveys to ensure my health/ case was strong. Things that could be improved: -Communication on the next steps/ progress of my case wasn't always made clear. I had to be proactive about connecting with them monthly. - Questions I had about cases wasn't always answered swiftly- there's an assumption that you should know how personal injury cases work. At times, my treatment doctor knew more about my anticipated settlement/ progress of case than I did. - The legal assistant assigned to my case made mistakes when it came to documentation and seemed overwhelmed. read more

I was in a multi vehicle car accident, where the person that hit me was underage, no license & no insurance. I was sure it was a lost cause. I was about to go I to my last year of undergrad and the stress of losing income by not being able to work piled on. Fortunately, I was referred to Shawn Steel Law Firm and it was SO easy. I'd never been in an accident like that and I was terrified of what to do next. Because my aunt had used Shawn Steel, I knew it was a trustworthy office- what I didn't expect was the level of customer service I was offered, regularly communicated with and advised on next steps. Hopefully I won't have to go through it again but if needed I would call The Shawn Steel Law Firm again My case just closed this week and my settlement went better than expected. Thank you for turning the worst case into a best case. Cheers. read more

I highly recommend this law firm. They are very straight forward and informative and keep you up to date with everything you need to know in terms of progress during your case. If I ever need to seek help again in terms of personal injury law, I will always come back here. read more

I can not recommend Alex Eisner and Shawn Steel Law Firm highly enough. They represented me on two car accident cases, taking on one of them, from a Law Firm that were completely inadequate and who had made a complete mess of my case. They managed to sort out the mess they inherited and settle both cases together at mediation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and feel very fortunate to of had Alex Eisner and his colleagues at Shawn Steel by my side throughout the whole process. If you are looking for a top-notch, professional and caring lawyer who gets things done, look no further than Alex Eisner at Shawn Steel Law Firm. read more

It was a pleasure to work Shawn Steel Law Firm. They were so professional, organized and assisted me in a timely manner. I will definitely refer friends and family to this law firm. read more

I am writing this review for my mom who was in a car accident in 2020. Shawn Steel took the guess work and stress out of our hands and handled the insurance, doctors, and reaching out to the defendant without our intervention. They were so thorough and very helpful! Thank you, Team! read more

I was in a car accident in late 2019 where a driver ran a red light t boning the front of my car. I was referred to Shawn steel by a friend and I'm happy that she did. They did a wonderful job handling all my medical treatments, down to to getting me a settlement I was happy with. I appreciate their willingness to go the distance to get me a more than fair settlement. The communication was pretty good throughout even through all the Covid and lockdowns which slowed everything down. read more

I see lots of reviews here about how Shawn Steel Law Firm is great to clients, but this review is about my experiences with them from the provider's side. I have had several auto injury patients for whom I have had the pleasure of working with this firm, and I have to say that it was superior! The respect, support and responsiveness I encountered were so helpful, plus the dreaded end negotiations for payment were stress free. Mr Steel comes from a family of chiropractors and truly understands the importance of chiropractic care. In addition, I appreciate the fact that Mr Steel and Mr Eisner, John Tawlian and the rest of the staff, work hard to educate providers. This not only helps everyone win by improving the level of care, it also helps these cases to be resolved quickly and smoothly. read more

My family and I hired the Shawn Steel Law Firm after I was involved in a serious car accident. A drunk driver had hit my car while I was stopped at a stoplight causing my car to flip onto its side. I ended up in the hospital with a concussion, a sprained neck (whiplash), and TMJ. With medical bills pilling up, a totaled car sitting at an impound lot, and no help from our insurance company, we hired the firm to help us navigate through this uncertain process. The firm got me appointments with all the necessary doctors (with great reviews), managed all my medical bills, and got us the full settlement from the drunk driver's insurance agency. Though it is great to have a lawyer that wins, I also want to point out that everyone at the firm was extremely communicative throughout the process. My family primarily worked with the attorney Alex Eisner and the paralegal Leslie Aleki and they were both WONDERFUL. From the client's side, it is scary to watch your medical bills pile up with no estimate of how much you will receive from the insurance company. Alex kept us updated about every interaction he had with the insurance company and got us a full medical report from every doctor I saw. He also answered every question we had within the day and explained his firm's strategic plans to us step by step. Being in a car accident sucks. However, the Shawn Steel Law Firm was ethical and thorough and I couldn't have asked for better results. read more

Was recommended to them and they did not disappoint. Staff and attorneys were very attentive to my needs and care. They explained everything to me at my home after my accident. Throughout the process they would be in constant contact with my doctors and me. I would recommend them to friends and family. read more

Alex and the team were a pleasure to work with. They moved my case along efficiently, and helped negotiate a fair settlement.

My experience with Shawn Steel Law Firm was excellent. They explained everything. If I had a question or needed to forward new information, my phone call or email was answered in a timely manner. I received a fair settlement. I would definitely recommend Shawn Steel Law Firm. read more

In the beginning, after taking my case this law firm really seemed to have it together. It wasn't until the first mediation that I realized I had made a mistake by hiring them. Takeaways: 1) This law firm went into the mediations (there were 2) without a strategy. As a result, the defense set the tone and pace, offering no rebuttal in response to the defense's justification for reducing the asked for compensation i.e. a. Including allowing the defense to schedule an appointment with one of their medical experts without consulting me on my availability. Then acted like I was the jerk for insisting that the appointment be rescheduled due to my prior commitments. 2) This law firm is not equipped and/or lacks knowledge on how to handle cases involving Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and permanent scarring. Their modus operandi is to focus on incurred medical bills only, which is not how TBI / permanent scarring cases should be handled. 3) This law firm really pushes, as part of the final settlement, that they will negotiate with medical providers and insurance companies. Do not fall for this. Words of advice: 1) Know what your breakeven is before going into the mediation with them. Your breakeven is the settlement offer - (Attorney's cut + miscellaneous attorney fees + insurance company reimbursements + out of pocket expenses + missed work + etc...) This law firm won't know what it is. 2) Don't count on negotiations with your health insurance company or any other medical provider to reduce the amount of your bill incurred in the accident. Fiscally, there is no upside for the insurance companies and the law says they are entitled to full compensation. 3) Above all, don't forget, the first to get paid from your settlement is Shawn Steel Law Firm. read more

Disregard everything you've ever heard about personal injury lawyers, but only if you go to Shawn Steel. My daughter was in a car accident and we interviewed several lawyers, most fitting the description of "ambulance chasers." But not this group. Alex Eisner and the firm is ethical, honest, and patient. They were great at keeping us up to date on the case, and were always available to answer questions. If you are skeptical of lawyers, you don't have to worry about this one! I pray we never need them again, but if we do, I at least know who will have our back. read more

Our case is still not closed, and it seems like from the very first day they wanted to go into litigation just to charge their higher rates. Their office seldom returns calls and they are shady to say the least! Regret having been referred to them by what now seems like a very shady chiropractor. Stay away they want to bill, bill, bill and don't give a crap about the client. read more

After being involved in a cycling accident, I found myself in need of a personal injury attorney and was referred to Shawn Steele Law Firm, and ultimately Alexander Eisner. He was fantastic. He handled my case with tenacity and grit, and he handled me with patience and grace. He and his staff were wonderfully supportive and very responsive whenever I had questions or needed help getting through the complicated processes. While I hope that I never find myself in need of this type of counsel in the future, I would use Shawn Steel Law Firm and Alexander Eisner again without hesitation. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for excellent personal injury representation. read more

This is a wonderful law firm- the attorneys are great and the employees are very helpful! Highly recommend.

I was in a car accident where I was rear-ended at a high rate of speed and had my car totaled. It's been a year and a half since my accident, and the best this law firm could do on a settlement is an amount barely above my doctor bills. I have had ongoing pain since the accident, and they essentially brought me a settlement that wouldn't leave anything for my future bills or my pain and suffering. They do not fight for you, they just accept whatever the insurance company is willing to settle for - lazy law practice. If the other insurance company makes a good offer then you'll be satisfied, but if the other insurance company plays hardball then you will be dissatisfied because this law firm is only interested in easy money. read more

Professionalism all the way!!!! Shawn Steel Law Firm is exceptional, from entering their dignified lobby to meeting with top notch staff and attorneys... you're sure to have an excellent experience! They are transparent throughout the whole legal process. Our attorney, Alex Eisner, was amazing and took the time to make sure we fully understood each step of our case! We couldn't be more pleased with our outcome! Bravo! read more

Shawn Steel has really helped me out in my car accident case so we'll and very professionally. I was with another law firm when my accident first happened and they were terrible not meeting my needs and taking a lot longer with the process, but then Shawn Steel was referred to me and I checked them out and signed up and immediately they were on the ball giving me the best service and settled my case within the next 2 months! read more

Great firm, staff is friendly and highly knowledgeable. All calls were returned swiftly and the staff and lawyers are always willing to talk and put you at ease. Highly recommend. read more

This firm was super professional and friendly. They were quick and efficient in handling my case. Seriously, they are the best firm to use. Hopefully I won't need to use them again, because who likes car accidents? lol but if needed, their number is saved in my phone. read more

I had the most amazing of experience. I was extremely lost in the process, and Shawn helped guide me through everything. I would highly recommend Shawn the the firm to anyone looking for professional attorneys and an experienced staff. read more

I was severely rear-ended at a stop light and received permanent damage to my back, hip and neck and Shawn Steel & Associates assigned an inept rookie lawyer, and I only receive $1500 and my car repaired. This case dragged on and on (well over 2 years) and the attorneys for the lady who rear-ended me in a raised 4x4 hired good lawyers, so Shawn Steel & Associates just settled for a pittance and did not fight to get me just payment for my injuries. Thank God for the VA and years of physical therapy because without that my body would be a basket case, but sad to say I still suffer from chronic pain from the accident! Shawn Steel & Associates talked a lot about how they would get me a nice judgement, but were slow on returning my calls. In the end they were useless in their legal abilities and I would NEVER recommend Shawn Steel & Associates. read more

Shawn steel was amazing and the staff were always so nice. Thank you for the amazing experience. Shawn steel was able to handle everything and I worried about nothing. I got updates every month on my case which was helpful. read more

The most wonderful people to handle my case and in a timely manner with office staff that were very helpful and thoughtful about my condition. This firm was so professional and didn't treat me as if I was the person at fault but were encouraging, constructive in helping me and didn't push me when I was in pain and couldn't drive but considerate. I feel I would recommend any of my family or friends to be in their capable care. Must add that I do not take medications but go to professional Chiropractic's and they worked with me with them. My accident was a head-on with minimum insured. God bless all of them and He sure did me. read more

I spoke with John Tulian at the Newport Beach office. He seemed to know what he was talking about. He helped to put me at ease. This is the guy to take care of my accident claim issues. Was referred to him by my chiropractor. read more

CONS! Get EVERYTHING in writing! Don't meet in person because NOTHING said will be honored. I hired this firm in March of 2011 for an accident I was in, the other party 100% at fault. Here it is almost 6 years later, the insurance company paid the settlement last year and I'm still fighting with these guys for the amount I was guaranteed in writing. I have a signed agreement from Shawn Steel himself that they are refusing to honor. Now I have to pay another attorney to get my portion of my own settlement. They've taken the lions share and left me in debt, when the settlement was more than enough to cover everything. Do yourself a favor and find another attorney, these guys aren't trustworthy. read more

After almost 3 years and two lawyers in mitigation on my case. We finally settled. I am very satisfied with the outcome. And with Shawn Steel law firm! I was doubtful for most of the 3 years until Alexander took control of the case! I personally liked the other lawyer but did not feel he was into the case, he also was not in touch much with me and showed sign of hopelessness ( maybe strong wordage but that's how I felt) I even filled out a questionnaire that Shawn Steel initiated and said the same. As soon as Mr Shawn Steel brought Alexander on board and he started contacting me the "ball" started to roll! He made me feel secure that a settlement was on its way. Even though it seemed that the settlement was low. ( lawsuit was initiated to send a message to the establishment that protecting the patrons was not their primary directive, it was not done for monetary gain , as I know slip and fall is not today is not what it was decades ago as far as dollars recovered for pain and suffering) But upon settlement I was gratefully assured by Alexander that a negotiation can be made with the medical insurance companies. I never ( but hoped for close to ,50 on the dollar reduction! Which became my portion of reward for pain and suffering.) expected this amount and was very surprised and excited. I really felt vindicated at this point. ( it wasn't an outrageous amount in the least ! But was far more than I expected. And once initiated it took a very short time to recover the reward. Thank you to all the staff at Shawn Steel ( who was referred to me by Dr Roehl de Leon) I will certainly refer any family and friends . Yours truly James A Nailor read more

My husband was looking to hire an attorney and met with Alexander Eisner. Once the details of the case were discussed, my husband decided to hire Mr. Eisner. Throughout the process, my husband was kept inform of the stages and what might be expected. Hiring an attorney can be a difficult decision to make, and by no means does he regret hiring Mr. Eisner. His confidence and knowledge is high, and in my opinion, confidence is also important. If you need to hire an attorney in his field, he is the person for the job. The staff at the firm were nice, and treated with respect. The outcome was a favorable one. Thanks to the entire team, and thank you Mr. Eisner. read more

Terrible experience. This guy tried to bully me into accepting an awful settlement offer (I would be paid 2,000 of out an 18,000 offer). They actually told me if I didn't accept I would need to get a neck surgery and start making payments on my medical bills! They spent zero time on my case and zero effort in trying to get my medical bills reduced. When I didn't accept their offer, eventually the at fault insurance company reduced their offer to zero with false claims of previous injury. Then Shawn Steel just dropped my case and told me I was totally liable for all of my medical bills. Wow... I wish I could prosecute them. read more

Shawn Steel is by far the best in Orange County! I highly recommend his practice to anyone & you won't be disappointed. Mr. Steel & his employees are very welcoming & will make sure to fulfill your needs. read more

This guy is the best! I have known and worked with Shaun for quite some time. He is tenacious for his clients and will work tirelessly until you've got the outcome you've been looking for!
