Hardest working attorney I ever consulted

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 un...der 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.

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

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 th...e future.

Car Accident

Myself and my mother were rear ended, 2011. The case had delayed for 5 years, with other attorneys working on it. However Mr. Pimentel came in at a crucial time. He worked very hard and diligently on the case. Thanks be to God and the excellent work of Mr. Pimentel the case has successfully ended wit...h a very favorable Jury Verdict

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 h...aving, and point me to the right direction. Shane
