Most impressive attorney I consulted out of more than several hundred that I contacted. I had an enormously complex case that Mr. Pimentel dived into deeper than any attorney I ever thought would to find a way to help me. My situation was immensely out of the ordinary, and far too risky to take on under a contingency basis (all I could afford), but Mr. Pimentel didn't just say no like most, he gave me extensive legal analysis for the basis of his answer to better understand the hurdles. Anyone who engages this attorney's services should count themselves lucky. He is truly one in a thousand (literally) and I could tell he was sincerely trying to find a way to correct the injustice done to me . If he works this hard without being engaged, it's reasonable to assume hard hard this guy will work on your behalf if you hire him. Can't say enough good things about him.
Mr. Pimental conducted his business in a professional manner and was successful in my case against the City of Los Angeles. I would highly recommend the Pimental firm to anyone seeking a qualified and professional attorney and won't hesitate to call them again for any other cases that may arise in the future.
Mr. Pimentel represents plaintiffs in a variety of labor and employment law areas, including wrongful termination, harassment, discrimination, unpaid wages, and retaliation cases. In addition, he represents plaintiffs in personal injury matters, including slip and falls, dangerous or defective products, and automobile accidents.
Mr. Pimentel has significant courtroom experience, and has obtained several jury verdicts and multi-million dollar settlements for his clients.
While in law school, Mr. Pimentel served as a judicial extern for the Honorable Dean D. Pregerson, of the United States District Court, Central District of California.
Mr. Pimentel obtained his law degree from Loyola Law School-Los Angeles in May 2009, and was an Editor on the International & Comparative Law Review.
Mr. Pimentel has been admitted to practice law in the state of California since December 2009.

Excellent Lawyer
After a business venture of mine went sideways, I found myself needing sound legal advice. I was referred to Pimentel Law through a friend. Mr. Pimentel was very patient and did a very good job listening to my concerns. Although he did not take my case, he was able to identify the legal issue I was having, and point me to the right direction.

I retained Mr. Pimentel after I was injured then terminated unjustly from my job. He worked very effectively on my case and advocated diligently on my behalf. He helped me receive a settlement offer eventhough the other party kept denying wrongdoing. He has great skills and will really help you. I highly recommend him and would gladly choose his service again.

Car accident (bodily injury)
In April 2015 I was involved in a car accident. I was crossing the intersection when I was struck by a vehicle that failed to yield. My SUV was a total loss and unfortunately I severed a right ankle fracture.
I was in the hospital for about eight hours then released in a splint unable to walk. A couple of days pass but knowing I had to call the insurance. I called the other drivers insurance to file a claim but it was the worst process ever. I thought I was able to handle the insurance claim I my own but I was wrong. My first offer for my bodily injury claim was 1,500 which I couldnt believe how they got that number knowing my ankle was broken. So I denied their offer. A week passed then they offered 2,000.I was still in disbelieve. They told me that they weren't going anymore than 2,000. I shouldn't have but I just hung up the phone. I was like how is that even possible. I called a couple of relatives to see if they knew of someone, I was referred to the law offices of Gabriel Pimental.
I spoke to him myself so to me it made me feel more comforting knowing it's his law office. I told him about what had happened when I called the insurance myself and he told me not to worry about nothing, he said just focus on getting better. Mr. Pimental was caring, professional, and prompt. I really thought it would've talen a couple a weeks or month to hear back from him but within a week he called and told me the great news how he got me the maximum policy limit of the other drivers insurance $15,000. Plus the property damage to my vehicle. I got the property damage check withing two weeks. I got my bodily Injury check after I was done treating but it was well worth it. Mr. Pimental is an awesome attorney. Thank you for all your hard work.

(Well Known) Hospital vs. Mr. Pimentel's Client
In September 2014, I sought Mr. Pimentel as my legal representation in a discrimination case against a (well known) hospital in Southern California. He has represented me in a previous case, as well, with positive outcome.
In the most recent case, I was discriminated by the hospital due to my medical disability and was not given employment. I presented my situation to Mr. Pimentel and he worked on the case for about a year. He gathered information during the initial intake, and contacted me throughout the case via email, and phone calls for additional information or paperwork.
Mr. Pimentel is to the point, explanatory, calm, and listens. He gives the opportunity in each contact to ask questions and gives any clarifications in regards to the case. He uses examples of cases that are similar to your case, which allows you to understand what outcomes may be possible.
Mr. Pimentel does not shy during depositions and will represent you with a strong suit. He has a confident demeanor, which gave me comfort in knowing I had a lawyer who represents my best interest.
My negative comment would be the legal secretary/paralegals that I had to work with at his previous firm, which Mr. Pimentel had no control of.
I could only hope that he hires legal staff that are thorough, polite, and consistent as he is at his new firm. And, who have positive attitude when addressing clients.
Overall, my experience with Mr. Pimentel was positive. I was treated with respect, given the chance to explain my situation, and was delivered real outcomes.

Excellent Representation
My husband and I were in an automobile accident; rear ended in our week-old minivan. We sustained neck and back injuries as a result of the impact.
With Mr. Pimental on our side, our car was repaired, we received chiropractic and acupuncture treatment for our injuries which were paid by the insurance company of the driver who hit us.
We are very thankful for Mr. Pimental's prompt attention and expertise.
