Great Representation

We contacted Bolender law firm to see if they could represent us in a truck accident. After speaking to Jeff, we knew we found the perfect attorney who fits our needs. He always answered our questions promptly and was always courteous. He was also very fair and assisted us in making the right decisio...n regarding our case. We would highly recommend his law firm to anyone needing representation. Before contacting him, the insurance adjuster wasn't trying to be fair with us. After he took on our case, the adjuster was more than willing to assist with providing proper compensation for our losses.

There is no better Insurance Attorney

After doing much research and browing throughout Metro LA for a good insurance attorney, I found Jeff Bolender. And boy am I glad I did. After a substantial theft of property from my vehicle, I was mortified when my insurance company had the nerve to completely deny my claim due to their "creative"... interpretation of some obscure/legalese fine print buried deep in my insurance agreement. I suspected that I had a legitimate "bad faith" claim against my insurer for their shady and sketchy interpretation of the agreement but yet I didn't really know how to escalate the case on my own. Enter Bolender Law Firm: They exhaustively researched the details of my case and sent my insurer a brilliantly long, and authoritative letter detailing the MANY reasons they were wrong to deny me coverage for my loss. And then they promptly followed that up with some firm phone calls and emails just to make sure that my sleazy insurer got the message. And as a result, my insurer agreed to pay the FULL amount of the claim that I had filed. Victory! I cannot image a more qualified and skilled insurance attorney in LA. Or anywhere for that matter. If you've got a case against an insurer who's pulled a fast one on you, look no further. Jeff Bolender is THE guy who can take care of it if anyone can.

Topnotch Coverage Attorney

While employed as a claims examiner for an insurance company, I had the good fortune to work with Jeff Bolender regarding insurance coverage matters. I have hired coverage attorneys throughout the United States for two decades. Jeff raised the bar for my expectations of knowledge and performance t...o the point where other attorneys just don't measure up. He tells you like it is, which isn't always what you want to hear but what is what you need to know to fairly and properly evaluate coverage for a claim. I highly recommend Jeff for whatever coverage needs you may have.
