Best Motorcycle Accident Lawyer in Orange County!

I highly recommend Tom Reinecke and his Law Firm: He was truly dedicated to my case, and fought hard for two long years until we got an equitable settlement from one of the toughest insurance companies in the area. In my opinion, he is the best Motorcycle Accident lawyer in Orange County/SoCal.... Michael B.

Highly recommend

About 5 months ago I was rear ended on my bike on the fwy. My injuries were extensive. I couldn't work. The bills were piling up and I was afraid of losing everything I had. Hiring tom was the best decision of my life. He took over everything from the day I hired him. I finally felt like someone was ...on my side. He got me a great settlement. Had my bike fixed with no fee. Even got my gear replaced. I never could of done what he did on my own. I thank him every day and recommend him highly if you are unfortunate to be in an accident like me.

Couldn't be happier

I hired Tom to handle my case after consulting with several other local attorneys. He was by far the most attentive and personable of all that I talked to. He was great to work with and went above and beyond to get me a more than fair settlement. Tom was great at keeping me informed and making the pr...ocess as easy as possible. His fees were more than fair and while I hope to never need his services again, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or hire him again.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I was involved in a serious motorcycle accident on the freeway. I called another attorney first and they rejected my case so I called Tom. Tom came out and met me and my family. Withing a few weeks he got my Harley replaced. Tom was great. He returns calls even on the weekends. He works hard and in t...he end he got me a really great settlement. I highly recommend Tom to anyone involved in a motorcycle accident.

Best decision I ever made

Hiring Tom was literally the best decision I have ever made in my life. From start to finish he was there. Right from the start. From personally driving out and meeting me in the hospital and spending 2 hours in my hospital room to completion of my case -Tom was there. In the end I received an excell...ent settlement. I surely hope I am never in an accident again but if I am he will be the first person I call. Hire him. You will not regret it.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
