Have You Sustained Traumatic Brain Injuries from an Accident?

"I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat."

In August of 2015 I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident that involved the loss of operation of my dominant arm, as well as a traumatic brain injury. My parents had contacted Effres and associates (they were referred to them by another lawyer for another injury to a relative) and they drove from Agoura Hills down to Pasadena immediately, surveyed the accident scene, and then arrived at the hospital. Over the next two and a half years, Justin Effres and his father Steven Effres, relentlessly pursued this case for me, even when at one point it seemed like there wasn't much that could be done to resolve the situation. I had to go through the typical trial stuff such as meetings, deposition, medical appointments for Effres' firm and for the defense, but Effres did all that he could to make everything doable and smooth as possible for me. My perception of lawyers was certainly changed for the better after working with Justin and his dad, because of their genuine sincerity. They were always available and fully knowledgeable of the questions that my family and I had for them. Despite the case dragging on for over 2 years, they never left me hanging or feeling like the case was going nowhere, because Justin kept searching for answers and kept me updated with everything. All of his hard work paid off in a successful outcome for me. I would hope that nobody NEEDS to have an injury lawyer, but if they did, I would absolutely recommend Effres and Associates in a heartbeat.

"I believe one would be very well served by him as their attorney."

Mr. Effres was extremely helpful to me in my search for the right attorney for my situation. He selflessly listened and engaged in a very respectful and cogent way. In the conversation his intellect, professionalism, and most important personal ethics became quite apparent. While he did not represent me, I believe one would be very well served by him as their attorney.

"I can say I am a very happy camper and well pleased."

On September 30th 2014 I was in distress following an automobile accident that totaled my vehicle. I was devastated and in excruciating pain to my chest, neck and upper back! Next day I made a desperate call to Effres & Associates who came highly recommended by a previous Attorney. A few days later an Attorney travelled to my home, interviewed me and decided to handle my case! He was diligent and professional and worked very hard with me. Called very often to give me updates on the progress of my case!! Today, 21 months later he settled my case for the maximum $$$ allowed by the opposing Insurance Company. I can say I am a very happy camper and well pleased with "My Attorney" and would recommend Effres & Associates anytime or anywhere. Thanks for allowing me to share my experience!!

"The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary."

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. 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.

"Justice was done."

Dear Mr. Effres, I was the juror that took your card and assured you I’d call, as time is such a premium in our lives, dropping you a line is much easier. Thank you for the offer of our suggestions and/or comments. What impressed me the most and what seemed the be a determining factor was the diligence in which you presented the evidence, your depth of conviction for Maria’s case was deeply felt. Your calmness in dealing with the judge with the study in the strength of the human character! The only suggestion I would make (and this is coming from a color consultant point of view) would be to wear dark suits, white shirt and a striking tie (LOVE THE SCALE OF JUSTICE TIE), other than that – change nothing. Please pass on my best wishes to Maria even though the money could not begin to suffice for her injury the quality of her life may be enhanced, they are a beautiful family and were represented by a compassionate, thorough, competent lawyer. Justice was done. God bless you. by K. R.

"Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal."

Dear Mr. Effres, We just once again wanted to thank you so very much, for your fine (I should say “great”) handling of Anne’s case. We have never had to “go to court,” or sue anyone in the past and really had no idea where to start with any of the details. Thanks to you, you made a bad topsy-turvy affair a very easy ordeal on our behalf. And my husband and I really appreciate the time and effort you gave the case. I hope we never have to do anything like this again, but should something like this happen you can be sure of hearing from us again – Thank you very, very much. With warmest regards

"Throughout the entire process I truly felt like I had someone on my side, and that Justin truly cared about my best interest."

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.
