If you are looking for a true professional Mr. Armenta is it

Mr. Armenta took my case of unpaid overtime from a previous employer. He was straight forward and honest. He prepared me for the process and walked me through step by step. What was truly exceptional was the communication. Every question , email or phone call made to him was answered so promptly and ...thorough. I’m in a customer service driven industry so I know how important and key communication is. I felt secure and confident in how my case was handled. A little over a year we had a settlement and it was what our goal was. I never had to step a foot into court. I would highly recommend Mr. Armenta and his team to anyone and everyone.

He's tough, but he is good!

The day I fell of a palm tree on the job, I was hospitalized and my father immediately went seeking for an attorney. Juan Armenta showed up to the hospital offering me his help, he said he know exactly how the workers comp system worked and he was there to protect me. Originally I was in distress I c...ould barely walk and was in severe pain and I blew him off. After a few weeks passed, certain circumstances changed and I realized I needed to lawyer up. I did some deep investigations and talked to several attorneys seeking the best attorney for workers comp in southern California. I ended up coming back to Juan Armenta. Long story short, I was wrong about Juan Armenta ,and he really was trying to help me that first day I was in the hospital. Fast forward to now, I have to admit that the whole process was smooth, I really didn't have to worry about much, he and his team took care of everything. He was also able to work out an incredible deal so that I can get compensated more during my Temporarily Disability. I also have to give a big shoutout to Gloria, his secretary for being so kind and patient with me throughout the whole process. Thank you Juan Armenta Thank you Gloria Fernandez -Omar Lopez

Best Attorney in all of Riverside County

Mr. Armenta reps me in a difficult worker's comp case that has an internationally very powerful worker's comp insurance company to "deal" with. Juan is the most knowledgeable lawyer in California worker's comp laws (he knows more than anyone at those BIG worker's comp insurance companies that work... for all your bosses and their companies. Juan does NOT back down from anyone and always relentlessly fights for his client. I feel very fortunate to be repped by Juan.

I am grateful

Three years ago, I filed a worker’s compensation case. My prior attorney was not representing me with my best interest in mind. For two and a half years, my case was nothing but added stress and anxiety. I contacted Mr. Armenta at my wits end and within six months my case was settled and won. Mr. Arm...enta has the professionalism and extreme knowledge of handling worker’s compensation cases for the client. If you have an injury from your employment, physical or mental, Mr. Armenta is the attorney you need to contact. He will handle your case with grace, dignity and power. My only regret is that I didn’t find Mr. Armenta in the beginning. He would have saved me years of pain and distress. Thank you, Mr. Armenta. You are truly a life saver and an amazing attorney.

Injury at work?

After being seriously injured at work,my employer denied my employment, failed to provide their Worker's Compensation Information .There in violated my legal rights under the law..I was forced to fight and prove my case ,in the meantime my injury worsened. My not knowing the system I hired to differ...ent law firms...That proved to be a big mistake..they had only 1 primary interest..settling my case so they could get paid. They both were terminated..On the recommendations of my friend I retained Juan M Armenta. Attorney. He is a true professional and because of him I was able to receive the medical treatment I needed and the monetary compensation I deserved. IF YOU ARE INJURED AT WORK. YOU NEED ATTORNEY JUAN M. ARMENTA!
