Worker’s Comp

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.

Worker's Comp

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 co...mprisal 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 t...han we both thought possible.

Review

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 responsi...bilities 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.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
