    "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.

    "Best law office to work with!"
    Effres & Effres law office helped me to work through my case after I was rear ended by a young person who drove someone else's car with a minimal insurance coverage. They were great, always available, answering all my questions, giving the best advises, not aggressively but based on an informed decision-making process, which I was very much part of. We got a great result. I would strongly suggest this law office to anyone who was injured in an accident. They are great, responsible and accommodating you, every step on the way.

    "Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful."
    Dear Mr. Effres and Office, It has been almost a year since we accepted the settlement for Jonathan and we wanted to thank you all for your help. We will not forget the empathy you showed us during the stressful time we were going through as a result of Jonathan’s injury. Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful. We also recognize the thoroughness with which our case was prepared should it have gone to trial. We won’t hesitate to refer you to our friends should they need an attorney. Jonathan is starting kindergarten next week and has a full-time mom now (since February)! We are all enjoying our new house. Wishing you all the best

    "I would definitely recommend this firm."
    I would definitely recommend this firm, after everything they have done for me I can’t describe in words, the person that was responsible for my serious Injuries was on suspended license and no insurance but they still stood by my side and fight for me, this firm is about Justice. They were always there when I need anything, they came to the hospital, they even help me go to the court and my favorite I was able to text them when I had a question very convenient. Thanks alot to Justin Effres for always responding to all my questions and never giving up on my case.
