Noe E.

My case was complicated to win and it took time but Kermani managed to win my case. Mr. Ray was always aware of every detail in the case until the end.

Superstar Lawyer!

Mr. Kermani and his firm assisted me with a car accident case that occurred in August of this year. My experience from the beginning to the end was wonderful. First, Mr. Kermani called me directly from his cellphone, which is always great since a lot of personal injury firms make you talk to case man...agers and often you don’t know who your attorney is! My case was stalled because my previous attorney was reluctant to file a lawsuit and litigate. But not Mr. Kermani. As soon as I retained him, he filed a lawsuit, began discovery and settled my case within just ONE MONTH of when I retained him! He frequently kept in touch with me via text and email. He is a very skilled attorney and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a competent personal injury lawyer. In fact, Mr. Kermani was so good that I referred a family member seeking a lawyer to him.

Highly Recommend for Personal Injury!

When I was hurt in a bike accident last year, a friend recommended I get a lawyer and sent me to Ray Kermani. Ray and his team knew exactly what needed to be done and took care of everything. I was worried about just covering my medical bills, but in the end Ray not only got everything covered in ful...l but got me a really solid settlement. I was so impressed by how hard they worked and how much time they spent pursuing my case. I highly recommend Ray Kermani to anyone who needs representation for an injury.

Victory - Contractual Fraud and Breach of Contract Case

A big shoutout to Ray Kermani, Makoa Kawabata, Mohamad Ahmad and Hani Gandji at KERMANI LLP Law firm for being an AMAZING law firm and a great team and representing us and leading us to victory! The team at KERMANI LLP and specifically our lead council and star attorney Mr. Makoa Kawabata have sh...owcased and performed an exemplary litigation campaign, which is to be admired!!! Our case involved Contractual Breach of Contract, and Fraud, and unfolded over a time span period of almost 4 years, and caused a significant level of stress and financial burden on everyone involved with the case. Being the plaintiffs in the case, we initially filed the case with a well-known attorney firm, however due to mutual agreement we disengaged from their representation and, subsequently retained KERMANI LLP, as the new lead council and representative with the case. The law office was strongly recommended from a mutual friend of mine. The staff at KERMANI LLP is friendly, approachable, knowledgeable and caring, and provide superb customer service and assistance. All of the attorneys at the firm care deeply for their clients and truly relate and embrace challenges and stand by you all the way, which is unparalleled to any legal council I have ever worked with! The entire team, and specifically our lead attorney Mr. Makoa Kawabata are approachable and responsive and able to address any questions or concerns along the way, which is phenomenal! The team at KERMANI LLP has a dedicated and specific action plan for your case and has a relentless work ethic and commitment to excellence! The victory delivered for our Civil Court case last week, speaks volumes for the Law Firm professionalism and talent that sets a standard to be reckoned with! The judgement, which was received after a contentious and heroic trial led by Mr. Makoa Kawabata and KERMANI LLP, surpassed our expectations and provided a long awaited justice for all of us! As logistics with settlement and monetary compensation are currently being finalized, we have no doubt that the team at KERMANI LLP, will be able to secure the settlement judgement, as promised to everyone's satisfaction. We place our trust in KERMANI LLP and reaffirm our gratitude and utmost appreciation for a job well done! More to come! SIMPLY THE BEST LAW FIRM EVER!!!

Amazing Attorney. Will fight hard for you.

Ray and his team are excellent at what they do. They are an amazing set of trial attorneys. After consulting with Ray it was apparent that he knew the law and would work hard to pursue my case. In working with them through the many years, everyone worked hard and assisted me throughout every step l...eading up to trial. I was especially impressed by the presentation of my case to the jury.  I was so nervous and worried about how and what was happening throughout the trial but Ray and Makoa kept me motivated and educated on what was going on. They were smart and methodical with everything that happened. They pressed hard and it ended with an excellent result. Overall they were a very professinal, enthusiastic, intelligent team. Should I ever have any need for an attorney I would definately call on Ray and his team again and highly recommend them to anyone.
