Auto Accident

This is my second time using Robin to represent me in my accident case. I can't speak highly enough about her! She was very kind, compassionate and fought hard for me with the insurance company. I feel that she genuinely cares about her clients and always has their best interest at heart. If needed I... would absolutely go to her for representation. I highly recommend this law office if you're looking for attorneys who care, and will do their very best to get you all that you deserve.

TELL THEM YOU MEAN BUSINESS

All of the associates and attorneys that I had to deal with made me feel like I was important. They were extremely professional, and I was confident that they would handle my case with the utmost integrity. I hired this law firm, because I knew that Robin and Antonia Lee would get me the best deal... possible from the insurance company.

Wonderful Service

Lindsey and Robin were my team and they really knew what they were doing. I was in a motor accident with my sister, where we were rear-ended at a red light. While I was anxious near the end, since the insurance company was digging their heels, the d'Oliveira team was patient with me and did their b...est to get me and my sister what we deserved.

I went to d’Olivera after someone blew a red light and

I went to d’Olivera after someone blew a red light and t-boned my car. My case was simple, there were witnesses and the other driver admitted fault so there was no debate to have with the car insurance. I picked them because their rate seemed to be the lowest. The first person (not Robin) I met and w...ent over the details of my incident with explained to me that the firms 1/3 take from my case was applied after my medical bills were paid, this was not the case, they ended up taking 1/3 of what the car insurance company paid BEFORE any bills were paid which is a much larger amount since my medical bills were so expensive, maybe its standard procedure but I was misinformed. Their guarantee to not make more money than the client was helpful, but they did end up receiving ½ of everything after bills were paid. They also seemed to drop the ball because about 18 months after my accident they were asking who my health insurance provider was, that seems like something they should’ve already been aware of by that time. My last complaint is that all the reductions they got on my medical bills didn’t cover their cut so if I had paid the bills myself with no attorney involved, I would’ve made out better, but the process would’ve been more difficult for me. They did offer some decent advice, handled the paper work, paid the bills, and helped to keep my credit untouched as I waited on auto insurance money to come through. The people I interacted with were generally helpful and polite. My paralegal was Lisa, my attorney was Robin and I went to multiple offices throughout the process.
