Sef is the man! No matter the case.

Sef Krell is the man! His team is amazing and was there for me when I needed them, even when I was frustrated with the opposing council’s delays and tactics. I only had a few interactions with Ari but he really went above and beyond for me! I’m a former pro athlete and I had a case against the Portla...nd Trailblazers that I feared was past the statute of limitations. How they managed to find a way to get me an amazing settlement for my injury was nothing short of a miracle and expert work. If Sef says he will fight for you, trust him! As a professional athlete, injuries come with the territory. I didn't think I was entitled to protection. I was wrong. Sef and his team made it happen. I was unable to work and didn't know where to turn. My only advice to anyone going through this is be patient! I know how frustrating it can be to wait for an uncertain outcome. I didn't think I had a case. If Sef says you have a case, you got a case! Let him do his thing. He shared in my frustration. My case dragged on for a few years. Sef and his team were highly responsive, professional, and there for me through the entire process. I know it's frustrating constantly asking for updates that don't exist, sef took my calls anyway and answered every message. I was recommended by someone who had a much smaller case than I had so it doesn't matter how big or small you feel the value of your case is. Call Sef! It's easy to feel like a burden in these situations, but it's all in your own head. Let him cook. Just remember, Sef and his team are on your side. It's the process that's frustrating, not the team behind you. I placed my trust in Sef Krell, I strongly recommend you do the same!

Poor service

My experience with Sef Krell Law was extremely disappointing. This review has nothing to do with whether my case resulted in a large settlement. It has everything to do with how I was treated as a client. Communication was poor throughout my case. I rarely heard from the firm unless it was to tell... me that because I had “told the truth,” my case likely wasn’t worth much. I found that statement incredibly frustrating because no one ever took the time to properly prepare me, explain what information was legally significant, or advise me before giving statements. Instead, I was repeatedly made to feel like I had somehow hurt my own case. My interactions with Ari were especially unpleasant. I found him to be rude, impatient, and dismissive. On one occasion, the office called me repeatedly without any advance notice. Rather than leaving a voicemail and allowing me to return the call, they continued calling until I answered. Ari immediately launched into telling me that if we went to trial, I would likely recover nothing. He never asked if it was a good time to talk, and he repeatedly interrupted me while I was speaking. I finally had to tell him I was late for a work meeting before the conversation ended. I understand that not every case has a high value, and I appreciate honesty about realistic outcomes. What I don’t appreciate is being treated with disrespect or made to feel like I was a burden because my case may not have generated a large fee for the firm. If you’re looking for a law firm that communicates well, treats clients with patience and respect, and provides guidance throughout the process, that was not my experience here, and I cannot recommend this firm.

Workman's Comp

I hired this attorney for a slip and fall at work that happened in November 2021. I had a second fall in March related to my first fall. I reported it to his office and they failed to write it in my case until July 2022. They said they would schedule an a with another doctor, which didn't happen. Ple...ase be care. Needless to say I hired another attorney

Forewarned is Forearmed!!

I fired him after 3 weeks. His office is a disgusting, SHODDY room in a less than appealing looking HOUSE. His staff is not educated in LAW, and a letter they sent to my claims adjustor had spelling errors, several run on sentences, and one sentence that was INCOMPLETE! It was embarassing. He was... completely unavailable, and very RUDE and uninformative when I did talk with him. He included his "free" consultation in my charges. Like I said, I fired him after 3 weeks. He did NOTHING for me, except file one paper to say he was representing me. Yet 2 years later, after having handled it all on my own, he billed me for 15% of my measly award! (he got it, too). You've been warned, consider yourself lucky!
