MUST READ IF YOU NEED LAWYER

Before I found The Law of Sammy Rihan , it must had been one of the most stressful time I had experienced in my life. My car was destroyed(total loss) , I couldn't get around as if my legs were pulled right off my body, and to make matters worse the insurance company I was paying premium to for so ma...ny years were not trying to cooperate with me but use a language that I did not understand. When I found The Law Office of Sammy Rihan must've been one the LUCKIEST day OF MY LIFE. I called Sammy , and we spoke and he listened to me, I was amazed because other offices I called felt rushed. I could tell Sammy was a professional. I told Sammy all the details of the accident and the conversation I had with the insurance company, and he educated me. The case was very difficult it was a tug of war between the Insurnace and me , Sammy stood by my side and help me through it. Sammy is man of honor and is very respectful towards his clients and other parties involved. Sammy he is honest and goes above and beyond to help his clients no matter what. Long story short Sammy was able to take care of the case and I got a new car now, back on the road knowing if I get in the road I don't have to be afraid because I have a great lawyer I can always call if anything was to happen. Thank you Sammy for everything you have done for me.

10/10 Highly recommend!

Sammy Rihan is an excellent attorney and all around great human.  On our initial phone call after my car accident, he talked me through the process and made sure I knew exactly what to expect from both this process and from him.  I really appreciated him being so upfront about everything from the beg...inning so that there were no surprises.  He helped me every step of the way and made everything so easy for me.  He fought for my case and I'm so glad I chose him as my attorney.  I really enjoyed working with him and you will too!

ABOVE & BEYOND (comfortable experience)

I need to express my gratitude for how reputable your efforts and dedication for my case were. I am grateful to you that you took all the stress and sorted everything out for me. Your faith, knowledge and determination were something that solved my worries. Not only were you extremely personable and ...realistic you were also extremely attentive to even the minimal concerns and questions I had. Thank you. Sincerely, Anthony M (car accident)

A great lawyer to work with

H. Sami has always been kind, courtesy and enthusiastic. We have worked on a few cross-over worker's compensation/third party cases and I am always impressed with the way he handles the matters. He will always follow up on any issues that come up and I always get the best feedback from the clients ...I refer to him. I will continue to refer clients to him without hesitation.

extemely satisfied client

we recently settled our third auto accident case. Mr. Rihan has represented all three members of my family. Six years ago, I was rear ended and he was up front and told me my vehicle would get repaired, but i should not expect to get rich. The other insurance company started threats almost immediatel...y. That stopped when I had a lawyer. when we settled, my vehicle was at least as good as before the accident, all the bills were paid, and I received a few dollars on top of that. Mr. Rihan always returned my calls promptly and treated me as a partner, not a paycheck Later when my wife and daughter were rear ended, I knew who to call. My car was repaired, my wife was medically cared for,and her case was closed. Mr. Rihan was always there to answer question, and solve problems. My daughter was a different story, she required surgery, and the insurance company played hardball. It took four years to settle her case and my respect and admiration for Mr. Rihan grew that entire time.The initial settlement offer was too low, and because of his hard work, my daughter received a settlement 3.5 times higher than at first. As long as Mr.Rihan is lisenced to practice law in California, I will look for him if anyone in my family should ever be involved in an accident again. He is the absolute professional and friendly person to handle your problems, and take care of you.
