Compassionate/easy/great result

I strongly recommend Jim Iagmin and his team. I was hurt in two separate car accidents. Jim and his team were responsive and caring throughout the process. I am very pleased with the results.

Highest Recommendation!

Jim and his team represented me in a claim following a car crash. They made the process as smooth as possible and were a pleasure to work with. Patient, knowledgeable, professional, great communicator, wise -- I’d recommend Jim to anyone in need of an attorney.

A true asset in my life

I cannot say enough positively about how Jim Iagmin dealt with my case. I was badly hurt when my bicycle hit a hazard in the road. The city was responsible what occured but we didn't know where to start. Jim and his team guided us expertly through many complicated legal and medical issues. Througho...ut it all, Jim and the team were extremely responsive and caring. Empathetic but definitely business about it all. It took a few years to sort it all out with the city , but with Jim's hard-fought litigation , the city agreed to an excellent settlement. It was fantastic having Jim and his team behind me. I felt comfortable on all levels and it was a huge gift to not have to second guess or wonder if things were being done well. What a huge asset and not only admirable as a lawyer, but as a person.

Active Duty Motorcycle Accident

Riding on the back of a motorcycle, a car pulled out from a stop sign and hit us. We found Jim Iagmin through another motorcycle rider. Jim and his team were great to work with. They helped me get to excellent doctors who were able to explain my injuries and what kind of care I would need in the futu...re. The insurance company low-balled us at first. We filed a lawsuit and several months later, the insurance company offered me the policy limits. I’d strongly recommend Jim and his team.

Highly Recommend

I was hurt while a passenger in a friend’s car. A friend referred me to Jim Iagmin. It was the best call I ever made. From our first phone call Jim put me at ease. He explained what would be involved with my case. Jim and his team helped me through claims against the at-fault driver, the vehicl...e owner, and my friend’s. Under insured motorist insurance. They made the process quick and easy. I was more than pleased with our results. Jim and his team were excellent communicators thru phone calls and e-mails. They gave me regular updates and checked on how I was doing with my injuries. They were so kind and reassuring. I highly recommend Jim Iagmin and his team to anyone hurt in a crash.

"Jim Iagmin has a well deserved reputation for not only obtaining outstanding results for his clients, but also for being an extremely hardworking, smart and effective trial attorney. His commitment to the highest standards of professionalism and ethics goes unsurpassed. These are not only my views, but the views of the broader San Diego legal community which has recognized Jim's unique talents several times in awarding him various honors and awards -- all of which he deserves.
