Excellent service!
Mr. Flahavan represented me on car accident injury and fought for my winning results for 3 years. Amazing attorney and staff, have treated my family as their own. I went to court very confident knowing I had hired the right firm and I won the case. Thank you!

Extremely Happy
Mr. Flahavan settled my case two years ago. He was very efficient, informative and far exceeded my expectations. He is intelligent and compassionate. I would highly recommend him.

"I endorse this lawyer."
"I've known Bill for over 10 years and his commitment to his client and the law is not only outstanding but ultimately effective."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. He was outstanding as an expert in legal malpractice and really goes the extra mile for his clients. A true lawyer's lawyer."
"Bill Flahavan is the main author of the most widely used "how to" book on personal injury in the entire state of California. Both plaintiff and dfense lawyers see it as a "bible." I have also had the privilege of working with Bill as a co counsel on many cases over the past 15 years. His legal skills and personal kindness make him a wonderful man and a magnficient lawyer. Edward Tabash Beverly Hills, California"
"Professor Flahavan's knowledge and expertise in Civil Procedure is impressive. I first met him while attending his Civil Procedure class during law school. Since then I have referred many personal injury cases to Bill because I am confident that every case I refer to him will be handled with the same care and expertise he writes about in the Personal Injury Practice Guide. I have also had the privilege to co-venture cases with Bill. I sat under his tutelage and later learned how to apply what he taught me while watching him firsthand handle the most complex cases from start to finish. In my opinion he stands high above his competitors; I wouldn't trust anyone else to handle a personal injury case like I do Bill."
