Easy to work with!

I was rear-end accident and the other person's car insurance refused to pay me for my injuries. I called Roy, him and his staff were amazing and took care of everything. I could call or text anytime I had a question and they were always more then willing to answer all my questions. I appreciate ever...ything they did for me. I would definitely recommend them to all my family and friends.

Absolutely Amazing. One of the only people to help me.

This lawyer and his paralegal Pamela were amazing. They helped me when no one else would. Also referred me to the attorney best suited for my case, and still represented me ongoing because this is the type of lawyer he is. Was given absolutely critical information I needed and was not getting from an...yone else. I'm in Fresno, CA and they are expanding out here to the central valley. Based in Tulare County and San Diego, they are expanding and I'm glad they are and hope lawyers like Rory and Paralegals like Pamela keep expanding. Keep contacting this attorney if you need help. He has expertise in so many different fields and will get the job done and has a network of friends that will if he cannot go as far with you. I recommend Rory to anyone who needs legal advise or defense. And his paralegal Pamela is extremely knowledgeable and helpful in every way possible. Don't skip this team of people ready to stand your ground with and for you.

Rory delivers what he promises

I was in a pretty bad shape after being injured in an accident last year. My car was totaled and I had to spend almost 10 days in the hospital and another month recouping at home. One of my co-workers who knew Rory suggested me to talk to him and that was the best thing I did in that span of time. ... He is the most professional individuals I have seen. Gave me a patient ear while making sure that I did not miss any detail about the accident that could have been vital for him representing me. After having the details he gave me an overview of how he was going to pursue my claim. Things went quite the way as Rory had suggested and he had me covered for my hospital bills and the days I spent at home. I did not spend a single dime for the whole painful period I had to undergo thanks to Rory and his team.
