Up Front

Bob came highly recommended by a relative who happens to be in Law, so I trusted their judgement . Bob was very clear and concise and told it like it is. I had been in an automobile accident which was clearly the other person's fault and thought that because it was so clear cut that I could handle it... myself..... Not! Being quite naive to this type of thing I thought all would be fine. Well insurance companies being insurance companies, it was not fine. When my own doctor told me that I should have an attorney handle this, I turned to Bob. Bob took charge immediately, handled everything, got right to the point and laid it out with me. We settled with the insurance company with a much better settlement than I imagined because of Bob. If there is one thing I learned from all of this is to never try and handle these types of things on your own and I was so glad I hired Bob. Thank you Bob, so happy I found you! Very honest and very good with his clients' best interest always first.. Thank you Bob and I recommend Bob for any legal issues.

Excellent Attorney!

We had never hired an attorney until a friend suggested we do so during this difficult time. We were so fortunate to have been recommended to Mr. Semnar. Not only is he an excellent attorney, he is a person of character and a caring individual. He was completely honest on all aspects of the case, inf...ormative with the upcoming events and very comfortable in a courtroom. His confident demeanor put me at ease and helped our family get through a very stressful situation. I would absolutely recommend Mr. Semnar and am so fortunate he was recommended to our family.

Best Attorney out of Several!

Bob is very helpful and guided us every step of the way during our case. He always returns our calls and is very quick to respond to our questions. We have never experienced an attorney that is as great as Bob is on every level. Bob is responsive, knowledgeable of the laws, and never left us wonderin...g what is going on with our case. He is by far the BEST attorney in Southern California. I would recommend Bob Semnar as a top notch trial attorney. He is truly invested in the client and cares to see it through to the end with the maximum result for his client(s). Bob Semnar was our answer in a time of stress (that required legal action) and will be for anyone who has the privilege to have him as an attorney.
