    Review Juan Armenta

    Juan Armenta is a talented, aggressive Workers' Compensation applicant's attorney

    Posted by

    I am a casualty insurance executive who has had the opportunity to know attorney Armenta in both the defense of workers' compensation cases and as a trusted advisor in matters of insurance and employement law. Mr. Armenta is a talented and skillful workers' compensation attorney, whom I would highly recommend to those seeking aggressive, professional representation in California workers' compensation matters.

    Excellent, professional, high integrity attorney & assistant. Highly recommended A++

    Posted by

    Juan Armenta is an attorney that fully understands the clients rights and will be an advocate for them until the very end if necessary. My case was by no means considered high profile, but after first talking with Juan I was convinced I had a legitimate case, so decided to move forward with him on a contingency basis. If we lose we both we lose and I would not be charged any attorney fees; If we win the other party is responsible for all attorney fees. This I found to be unusual, as most attorneys do not wish to take the time unless they can win the lottery, so to speak. This level of integrity is compelling, something his clients will be grateful for. His assistant was also most helpful and courteous when he was not available. Juan Armenta is not one to mince words--he will tell you exactly how the process works and reasonably how long it will take--very professional. His vast experience deposing witnesses ultimately made the difference. In the end, we prevailed with our case and I must say sooner than perhaps expected. What was truly remarkable; I never actually met Mr. Armenta before, during or after the case was settled--all communication was done by phone or email. Someday I hope to meet Juan in person so I can look him straight in the eye and say "Thank you"!

    Mr. Armenta and his team go to bat for employees that are injured on the job. He understands that every case is different and all clients are unique. The staff “ Gloria” are so helpful and friendly you always felt welcome at their office. I highly recommend Mr. Armenta.

    Juan not only knows every aspect of the law, he knows all the right specialists and consultants to give the supporting documentation you must have to receive the maximum award. His effective skills in presenting and negotiating a case is unsurpassed. My great thanks and admiration for getting me a comprisal from the stringy insurance company, that with a less experienced lawyer I would never have got. 10 out of 10 for Juan.

    Workers Comp

    At my first meeting, Mr Armenta explained the whole process of what was going to happen with my case, and most importantly, to be patient. I heard from Gloria often with case updates, and amazingly to both Mr Armenta and me, the case was settled much quicker and with a much higher settlement than we both thought possible.

    Juan Armenta and his team, especially Gloria Fernandez guided me through the process of workman’s comp. This was an area that I was unfamiliar with and they explained the process and possibilities of various outcomes to me all along the way. This is not to say there were no frustrations or responsibilities on the part of the client. It is up to you to follow your case and keep the law firm apprised and reminded of what has recently transpired. It is a very long and complicated process and I’m grateful to have found a firm that helped me to navigate those muddy waters.

    Worker's Compensation

    Posted by

    Good evening to everyone here. This is the first review that I’ve ever done in my life. I can honestly say that I am not a robot of any sort. I came to Mr. Armenta for help with my Workers Comp. case at the time which was a mess. My first lawyer’s office was a disaster. When I came to Mr. Armenta I had little to no hope. I took a leap of faith in Mr. Armenta to do everything in his power to fight for what I needed and was best for my well-being. The staff especially Mrs. Fernandez was great with the welcoming, the consults, concerns and the updates. Anytime I had concerns or questions Mr. Arment’s office was quick to respond. They are all honest and sincere from the beginning. My case was tough and extremely stressful but they made everything go smoothly. I trusted Mr. Armenta’s judgement and he made it possible to win my case with the greatest outcome. I thank god for people who do reviews because with out honesty people would really waste valuable time. May my review serve as testimony and hope this helps your decision.

    Recommendation for Mr. Armenta

    Posted by

    If you’ve been injured at work and are looking for a lawyer to navigate the Work Comp bureaucracy, Mr. Juan Armenta is my lawyer of choice. It has been my experience that he is a top-notch negotiator, an advocate for the injured party and has at least 20 years working in the Work Comp arena. Mr. Armenta is supported by a superb administrative staff, Ms. Gloria and Ms. Nina. They are very responsive to the client’s needs and questions. Following up with the client that same day or next, when possible. Being in the Work Comp System is a nightmare, somehow Mr. Armenta and his staff make it easier. I highly recommend Mr. Juan Armenta for any Work Comp issues. He is a person you can count on. Cathi N, a satisfied former client.

    Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

    I have had occasion to work as opposing counsel versus Juan on a number of matters and have found Juan to be dedicated and committed to the cause of his clients. It is my opinion that Juan carries that reputation within the worker's compensation arena also, an area in which he is both knowledgeable and quite experienced in both the law and the particular system of justice in that field, which is very important for the WC advocate to posess. I would not hesitate to refer clients to Juan, and have done so on several occasions.

He knows the law well and is maneuvers through difficult and complex issues with dexterity. I highly recommend him to individuals who want someone to listen, advocate and succeed.
