Meet Our Team at Effres & Effres

"I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney."

Dear Mr. Effres, I would like to express my deep appreciation for assisting me when I called you regarding the problem I had with a dental group I had been going to. Unfortunately my only solution will be small claims court. Here is a case where the dentist said he was qualified to do root canals and missed the canal and went into my gum even though he took 3 x-rays during the procedure, and very casually said, “sometimes things like this will happen.” I wish to thank you again for your advice and you can be assured I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney. Your thoughtfulness meant a lot! by H. M.

"He never failed to answer my questions, and always gave me valuable advice"

I found Effres & Associate by chance. Not knowing what to do after my accident, I surfed on the web and came across this company. After reviewing the testimonials, I decided to call them. For some reason, I did not want to call those big law firms that have big billboards everywhere. I went to talk to Justin on the next day, and found him to be a truly concerned young attorney. He is not a pushy lawyer, but always friendly and professional. He never failed to answer my questions, and always gave me valuable advice. After almost two years dealing with the case, Justin brought a successful ending to the case. Thanks, Justin.

"They were on top of it since the beginning. They always answered my phone calls and emails quick."

Will recommend Steve and Justin to anybody in need of a great lawyer. They were on top of it since the beginning. They always answered my phone calls and emails quick. Frequent phone calls with updates on my case, late work hours. Ready to kick ass.

You believed in my case, you believed in yourself & you believed in the system. Your wisdom, experience, knowledge, expertise, focus, dedication, calmness, composure, personality, sincerity & true compassion for my case was felt by me, my family, & the jury. I would not have won my case without you. Because of you, JUSTICE WAS DONE. I could have never imagined, how a person I hardly know, can change another person’s life, as you have helped change mine. You are my guardian angel & my life will never be the same thanks to you. Steve, you are a GREAT LAWYER & SHOULD feel very proud that you have the ability to change a person’s destiny and to touch people’s hearts & emotions in such a positive & emotional way.

"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.

"I am very pleased that you kept me informed at each step of this process."

Dear Mr. Effres: Thank you for all of your work on my behalf regarding the wrongful death of my mother in the parking lot of the Burbank mall. This was a difficult and complex case in that there were several entities that had to be dealt with simultaneously. To make matters worse, none of the parties were inclined to move forward in an effort to reach a resolution. Thanks to your persistence, patience and skillful negotiation a very favorable settlement was subsequently reached with all parties satisfied and in full agreement. I am very pleased that you kept me informed at each step of this process and thankful to have you as my attorney in this matter. Yours truly by L. W.

"We will recommend you and your firm without reservation."

Dear Steve, With our case now settled, we wanted to reach out to thank you, Justin and the entire team for your representation of our daughter. It was clear to us that your professionalism, expertise and advocacy of our family’s interests made the entire process run smoothly. We specifically appreciate how well you interacted with our daughter. After we hung up with you on speaker phone leaving the courthouse that last day she said “I like him” in a very childlike, affectionate tone. We also wanted you to know that our decision to settle did not come easily. In the end, we believe the decision was in our daughter’s best interest. We know you worked hard to prepare a strong case and do regret not having the opportunity to see that through. Lastly, on a personal note, we wanted to compliment you on Justin. He is a truly impressive young man; intelligent, polite and very good natured. Just a couple of comments Steve made in the days leading up to our daughter’s trial as we got to know Justin better. To our daughter; “You can tell a lot about a man by seeing how his children behave; Mr. Effres seems like a really good man.” To S: “If you have a son, he (Justin) is what you want him to be like; if you have a daughter, he’s the kind of guy you’d like her to end up with.” Anyway, I’m sure you don’t need to hear it from us, but you and your wife must be very proud of your sons. I hope this doesn’t sound hollow, because it is most definitely not, but please keep in touch and let us know if there is ever anything we can do for you. If we ever come across a friend who is in need of representation, we will recommend you and your firm without reservation. Thanks again and best wishes by S, S, and M
