Worst lawyer ever!!

This is got to be the worst attorney I've ever had unsatisfaction to know. My husband hired him 3 years ago 3 years he sat here in pain doctors did not do nothing and he got $6,000 the lawyers got $13,000 the doctors got 4,000 workman's comp who did nothing didn't even give him they denied him got so...mething and my husband got $6,000 what a crock! Don't hire this man he's terrible he never even kept in touch with my husband didn't give him any updates we always had to call him he's a worse lawyer I've ever seen and it took 3 years my girlfriend hired a lawyer she got over a hundred thousand dollars in 6 months for a car accident

Best attorney in California!

I can't say enough about Sean Banafsheh & BD&J! Sean is the most intelligent, professional, friendly and caring attorney that I know. We met Sean about 4 1/2 years ago after our prior attorney forfeited our case. My family and I were involved in a trucking accident in Sacramento, California, wife suf...fered crushed discs on her lower spine. After meeting Sean he made us feel at ease about all the legal stuff and connected us with the best doctors in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills area. I'm so impressed by him and his firm. They really took care of business for us. This was a long fight with the insurance because at first they were denying liability and they didn't want to pay and finally right before trial, we settled the case for a very large amount. We couldn't have picked a better firm than BD&J. Felt so good that all the partners of the firm were involved in our case. Communication was very important for us and Sean managed that very well! It was really nice of him to give us his cell phone number, we texted/called anytime we had questions and his response was within minutes, even on nights and weekends! I will forever be grateful to everyone that worked in our case, especially, Sean Banafsheh, Shawn McCann, Lauren Horwitz and their assistants Rosa, Sana and everyone else involved! We hope we never need their services again, but if we do, we will definitely be calling Sean right away. For now, we will be referring them to anyone we know that needs an experienced, high end trial lawyers! Thanks Sean for everything you did for our family! Wish you the best, cheers! Jacob & Stephanie

Hard working and caring attorney

Sean always made sure I knew exactly what was going on with my case. He fought hard to get me the best settlement possible, given insurance limits. I am so thankful for all that he did!
