EXCELLENT ATTORNEY

I was injured at as strip mall while I was "on duty" with work. I called several attorneys only to get sent to voicemail, which was undetrstandable, as it was over the weekend. David Gonor was the only attorney that returned my call. I am so blessed that it was him that returned my call as he turned ...out to be an AMAZING attorney. From the time I hired him until the case was settled and I had the check in my hand, he was always on top of everything. David kept me informed of all that was going on and more importantly educated me on the whole process, which allowed me to ask more pertinent questions. David never allowed the opposing attorneys to be in control. He always displayed a high level of professionalism, while exuding a down to earth persona. He made sure everything about my case was taken into consideration and worked hard to make sure it was a fair and decent settlement. Also, I had moved out of state in the middle of my cases, as David is licensed to work in other states, not only was I able to continue with him, he always made arrangements that I did not have to return to California for any proceedings whatsoever, which was a big bonus to me. I cannot express how thankful and grateful that I had David Gonor as my attorney. He also recommended a Workers' Compensation attorney to me as I was not getting the proper and timely medical care I needed through Workers' Comp. So wherever, in the United States, you are located, I would absolutely and highly recommend you to entrust your case to DAVID GONOR.

Awesome Attorney

First, I have to say that I had an awesome client-attorney experience with David Gonor, who represented me in an injury suit. My accident took place in October of 2019. Initially, I didn’t plan to do anything about it. I changed my mind because the establishment showed no concern about my welfare ...afterward. In addition, I was out of commission for longer than expected and will probably never recover to the state I was at before the accident. I reached out to Jacoby and Myers, who referred me to David Gonor. The adjectives I would use that best describe my experience with David are passionate about his job, compassionate and committed to representing his client, knowledge of the law, good judgment, and great communicator at explaining in layman terms the process at every stage. He made sure I was informed and updated on any turn of events related to the case via telephone and email. I never had to call David to inquire about the progress, unless I was returning his call. In my case, David's good judgment resulted in the best outcome for me. That being said, I had full trust in David’s professionalism, expertise, and ability to represent me, and he did an EXCELLENT job. I am happy with the outcome of my case, and would highly recommend David Gonor to anyone looking for an attorney who focuses on the best interest of his clients.

David Helped me get my life back

I was in a horrible car accident that could have left me paralyzed. I wasn't able to work for almost a year and David did the diligence to get me financially stable. I didn't know what I deserved but he did. He went above and beyond on my behalf to make sure I was taken care of. He is very kind, pers...onable, trustworthy and honest. I would encourage you to hire David as your attorney if you need help.

David is amazing!!!

I read these reviews of David Gonor on here and realize how the PI case universe if extremely unfair... I realize the people that had 1-star reviews did not get the outcome they were seeking. My experience with David was so good I have a tough time seeing the same person that some people have reviewe...d. Kind, thoughtful, and efficient would be the descriptive terms I would use. He was given a messy case that had spent nearly 18 months with another firm that had not gotten anywhere from the start. On the surface, I thought this case was simple. We then found out many elements of PI cases in California even when the police report is clearly in your favor. Geico had tried to not accept any part of the liability because the client denied he was responsible even though he explained he was to the police on the scene. David went to work and had the ball rolling right away. Within 6 months we had progressed from filings to interrogatories and depositions and finally the settlement phase and frankly, I had given up hope on even getting the expenses paid. But David worked hard and I walked away with a cash settlement. VERY PLEASED with all the service Mr. Gonor offered and put forth in this matter. He was a great advocate for us and I can't recommend him any higher! #DavidGonorForTheWin
