Best Experience - Definitely RECOMMEND!

I had an outstanding experience with Jonathan and his team, who were professional, personable, and exceptionally knowledgeable. My case involved a complex car accident with three vehicles. The at-fault driver had only $30,000 in coverage, which was insufficient to cover the damages. Thankfully, my $2...50,000 State Farm coverage came into play. After 2.5 years of relentless effort, Jonathan skillfully negotiated a $170,000 settlement from State Farm, which had initially only offered $20,000. Jonathan’s negotiation skills were truly remarkable throughout the process. The case presented numerous challenges, including an intermediary judge, a doctor hired by State Farm who falsely reported on my injuries, and consistent resistance from the insurance company. Despite these obstacles, Jonathan remained dedicated and ultimately secured $60,000 for my personal injury claim. From the start, Jonathan was thorough and communicative. During our initial consultation, he spent over an hour reviewing my case and outlining his approach. After a previous lawyer mishandled my case, Jonathan stepped in and contacted the former law firm to retrieve my paperwork and bills—a process that took months. Throughout this time, he provided regular updates, either personally or through Maria, his secretary. He was always accessible by phone, text, or email and promptly returned my calls whenever I had questions. One notable issue involved my meniscus surgery, where the surgeon initially charged an exorbitant $90,000 for a procedure that took just 30 minutes. Jonathan worked diligently to negotiate this down to under $40,000, a significant reduction, although still far more than I believed reasonable. His advocacy saved me from a massive financial burden. Jonathan and his team demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and client care. They just know their clients! Before the intermediary hearing, Maria scheduled the appointment and arranged a call with Jonathan to prepare me. He thoroughly explained what to expect, what to avoid saying, we could rehearse my responses, and the potential challenges we could face. His meticulous preparation ensured the hearing went better than we had anticipated. Every email and text I sent was answered promptly, and the team consistently treated me with respect and kindness. They were always well-informed about the details of my case, and it was clear they genuinely cared about achieving the best outcome for me. Jonathan’s honesty, professionalism, and dedication were evident at every step of the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Jonathan and his team to anyone in need of expert legal representation. Their commitment and expertise made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their support.

Amazing personal injury attorney

Jonathan is smart, knowledgeable, responsive, caring and goes above and beyond to be helpful. I consulted with him about my car accident case and he told me exactly how to deal with the other side's insurance company. I am an attorney myself and am a hard grader- I highly recommend him. He easily ...stands out from the rest.

I would use him again

Jonathan Howell took my case when the other driver tried to blame me for the car accident and the police didn't know who to believe. My car insurance didn't help. He helped me find a doctor and talked to me throughout the case and told me what was going on. We settled for a fair amount before the tri...al.

I'm glad that jonathan Howell was my attorney when I had my accident

When I was injured, I ad absolutely no experience with doctors, surgeons, let alone my legal rights or what to expect. Fortunately I had an attorney who took the time to prepare me for the long battles on the legal front, so that I could focus on healing my knee back to 100%. He was very upfront abou...t the long path ahead of me to both heal my knee and receive my compensation. He made sure that I was getting the correct treatments, and in the end, I received compensation that exceeded my expectations. when I would become stressed about the case during the lengthy process, he calmly kept me assured that everything was being taken care of. he also kept me aware of the process as t was happening. Hopefully, I won't suffer another injury on a sidewalk accident, but if I ever do, Jonathan will be my very first call.

Venice CA accident

I contacted Pocrass & De Los Reyes LLP regarding an accident where I was hit by a SUV and I was on a bike. I had heard Jim Pocrass was good with these cases and that many times they blame the person on the bike so that those cases can be difficult. I met with Jonathan Howell who became my attorney. R...ight away I was pleased with his honest, frank manner and he always informed me of all options while at the same time he left the decisions clearly with me. I was very, very well looked after. I called many times with questions or concerns about the case and he always answered them and listened clearly. I was medically treated and have since made full recovery, the award was fair and justice was served. We did of course win the case which did not have to go to court. I can't thank Jonathan Howell enough!

Car accident lawyer | Jan 21

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. Jonathan is amazing--as an attorney he is skilled, compassionate, knowledgeable and takes the stress of dealing with insurance companies and opposing lawyers off of you shoulders completely. He is an amazing negotiator--but when it is time to fight--he fights hard for his clients. He knows personal injury so well that he can get payments for a case that other attorneys think is useless. I trust Jonathon--and that is hard to say about lawyers in general--but I trust him completely and he has never disappointed. His results for his clients speak for themselves."
