Review

Hired this law firm for representation and got nowhere with my case. I did all the following up never once did they respond to my emails and when I called them it was as if I was bothering them with questions. Had to get advice from other attorneys who weren't representing me. Would never use this fi...rm again for any representation nor would I reccomend them to anyone.

Patience and Sensitivity

When I first contacted Mr. Cleveland, I was a mess. Mine was a very sensitive case, one that involved a police department. When I left his office that first day (and after hiring him), I felt immediate relief. I knew I had someone in my corner and I wouldn't have to fight the system myself. He ke...pt me very well-informed throughout my case and always answered my questions with tact, never with any trace of impatience. I know I wouldn't have been able to get through my case without him.

Great negotiator

Mr. Cleveland did a superb job of negotiating the settlement,with an insurance company,that was horrible about doing anything from the very start of my workers comp claim. He paid close attention to my complaints,& addressed them to resolve my claim better than expected. I wouldn't hesitate to reco...mmend his firm to anyone looking for counsel.

Great consultation

While working in a dental office I hurt my back. Even though my employer tried to help me the insurance gave me a hard time. I went to see Mr. Cleveland for a consultation. He gave me some great advice. After looking over all my paperwork he was honest and told me I was doing great on my own. Told me... if something changed later to call him. Who does this? He was a really a nice guy. I will definitely keep him in mind. Did I mention my consultation was free.

Excellent and attentive attorney

Charles assisted me in a Worker's Compensation case involving a serious fall at work. He was attentive and would respond back by email even on weekends and evenings. He attained a fair settlement for me and made the process seamless. Thank you Charles.

"I have had the pleasure of knowing Charles Cleveland for nearly 20 years and remain extremely impressed with his dedication to fighting for those injured on the job. He volunteers countless hours for the California Applicants' Attorney's Association in an effort to improve the rights and lives of all injured workers across the state of California. Charles is always on top of the latest advancements in the law and shares his knowledge freely with his comrades in the field. Charles would never allow an insurance company to take advantage of one of his clients--he is a fighter and one would never need to wonder if he is fighting tirelessly for them--he is. I endorse Charles wholeheartedly!"
