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.

I had secured an attorney who essentially did little more, during the three years in my employ, than what I was capable of doing by myself. He failed to secure the outstanding temporary total disability (TTD); instead he recommended a settlement, without first securing the TTD, that did not appear to take into account the outstanding TTD, the statutory 10% penalty, or any potential additional penalty pursuant to LC 5814.

Mr. Armenta, in a matter of a few short months, secured payment of the TTD, the statutory 10% penalty, and an additional $3,000 in additional penalty pursuant to LC 5814!

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"!
