Best car accident lawyer in Temecula

I was unexpectedly hit by a car from behind by a woman going 40 miles per hour and slid into two other SUV’s on I-5 resulting in a four car accident. My car being the only one to get totaled. I suffered horrendous neck and back problems within days of the accident and underwent three years of constan...t doctor’s appointments and pain. What was so upsetting was the fact that the insurance company hadn’t reviewed my file when it came time to offer me a resolution. I had new insurance adjusters assigned to my case constantly and they only cared about offering me the least amount of money possible. They didn’t care about my medical bills, pain or what I had been through. My car accident lawyer, Brian Ellis was very helpful throughout the process. I’m so thankful I had Brian Ellis and his wealth of knowledge and experience in dealing with my car insurance company. My insurance didn't want to pay for the coverage that I had paid to them for years just in case an accident would happen. Once the accident happened, it was upsetting to see how little my insurance company cared or wanted to help. I would highly recommend calling Brian to discuss your case if you’ve been in a car accident or suffered and injuries. I think it’s a big mistake to not have someone on your side and to try and handle a serisous matter yourself or with someone who may be unqualified. Brian Ellis is a qualified personal injury attorney in Temecula. It would be wise to call the firm to discuss your case if you’ve been hurt by the negligence of someone else. He listened to me, what happened and took my case on the contingency fee so I didn’t have to pay him anything until my case was resolved. Thank you Brian and The Ellis Helm firm for everything you’ve done.

My Lawyer for Life

Mr. Ellis was super professional and courteous. Always followed up with me after my consultations and was constantly aware of my case. He allowed me too focus on my recovery 100%, while he took care of business. He turned a highly frustrating and stressful experience into a stress free experience. I ...would not hesitate to recommend Him or use His services again.

Thank you Brian Ellis !

Thank you Brian Ellis. You really helped me during a difficult time. I was in a car accident and got side swiped by another car. I was in the hospital for two weeks recovering from my injuries. My hospital bills were tremendous. Brian not only helped me sue the other car for hitting me, but he was ...able to get enough money for me to pay all my hospital bills as well as money for my pain and suffering. It didn't cost me anything to hire him. I would recommend calling Brian if you have been in a car accident.

Trustworthy Attorney

I needed a lawyer for an injury that happened to my mother. It was a difficult time for our family and Brain Ellis really helped my family through the legal processes so we didn't have to worry about all the medical bills from the injury. In the end he got my mother a very nice settlement in which we... were not even expecting to receive. Thank you Brian for all your help. If we ever need a lawyer again we will definitely come to you.

Brian Ellis is the best car accident lawyer ever. I unfortunately, was in a bad car accident a few months ago. I called Brian Ellis and was very impressed with how easy it was to talk with him and have him help me with my situation. He helped get me more money from the accident than I was expectin...g as well. I would definitely recommend calling Brian if you need help with a car accident today.
