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.

Good lawyer

Thank You David! I feel well taken care of. He was very responsive with any questions that i had regarding my case even on off hours. He was very informative which made me feel at ease in this troubling time.

Best Referral Ever, Thank You David.

I will be 50 in a few months and I have never had the need for an attorney till last year when I got hurt while staying at Oceanside suite up the coast. When I got home I tried calling their cooperate office, just hoping to get an apology and maybe even some of our money back. I was blown off and... I never received a call and was never shown any concern of any kind. A friend of mine referred me to David M. Gonor at the law offices of SHAFFER AND GONOR, (phone 818.783.3333) best referral ever. When I called he actually answered the phone and we talked for almost an hour about what happened and if I had any options. He explained everything very slowly to me and spoke to me with words that any average Joe could understand. He did not set any unreal expectations; he gave me a very simple & clear time lime on how this could all go. He was always there over the last year when I had just the simplest of questions to me needing something explained to me again on why things happen in the ways they do. Me not knowing how this all really worked from time to time I would tell my wife after I would hang up with David; “Not sure how much that call is going to cost or add to my bill”. Thinking yes I did read the agreement I signed with David and his firm but I just knew there were going to be hidden fees that I would never know about till the end when it was time to settle my payout. Well I am here to tell you. David and his firm never charged me a dime for the any of the many questions I had over the phone, by email or text over the last year. They only charged me for services like getting my medical records etc… because I just couldn’t figure out where to go or who to even request my records from. The fees I was charged I was very aware of and they were in no way out of line or overpriced. These fees were taken off the top of my settlement, this whole process never cost me a dime out of my pocket. If you are looking for a fair and honest attorney to handle your case, one that will not sugar coat it, one that will take the time to help you understand the process then you need to call David. He gave me a # in the beginning when I asked, and he didn’t really want to answer it but he did and he hit that # in the end. I couldn’t be happier. As dumb luck would have it, as I said I am turning 50 this year and I have never been in a car accident in my entire adult life. Well 6 months after hiring David I was hit by young kid who ran a red light and totaled my car and put me in the hospital. Well guess who I called before I even left the ER? I will add another review after this case settles and thus far David has handled this one just like my first case. Rob

Good Lawyer to hire

David Gonor did a wonderful job on my fall case. First he set real expectations and kept me informed through the entire process. I was able to get in touch with him any time I needed and he was proactive in getting to me. He also made sure the settlement was timely and worked to get the best settleme...nt available. Working with him was a easy process. Thanks for all you did!
