Workers Comp

Geraldine is definitely a go to attorney for your workers compensation and personal injury and legal issue etc.... Even though she unable to take my case and went out to asked around to see any other attorney to take my case. She was on the phone with me over 30 mins to explain why she can't take m...y case. She is very caring about her client and willing to help you fight for what is right.

Geraldine and her team handled most of the employees involved in the San Bernardino terrorist attack. If it wasn't for her and her knowledge of worker's compensation law, the County would have succeeded in swindling us out of benefits that we were legally entitled to.

Best Consultancy!

I got Geraldine consultancy and help on a case that was time sensitive and that required understanding beyond the US laws too. Geraldine was extraordinarily professional and pragmatic, showing me the options that I had for my case being realistic. My talk with her definitely helped me in a way that I... end up making me feel ready to face my problem with all the tools and arguments. Aside from his professionalism, she is very kind and patient always willing to hear every detail or idea you have on mind.

Excellent Attorney

Geraldine was excellent in representing me for my worker's comp injury. From the first conversation with Geraldine, I had confidence that my case would be handled correctly. She was extremely knowledgeable about injuries and diagnoses. Geraldine worked well with the defense attorney; professional ...and cordial, yet not giving any ground and vigorously representing my best interests. I was kept informed of the status of my case, negotiations, and court dates. Geraldine was accessible, and her staff was great. I would definitely recommend Geraldine to anyone injured on the job or in any type of accident.

Superior Excellence!!!

Geraldine was highly recommended to me by a Law Firm back east. I was looking for an attorney for workers comp who understood what RSD / CRPS was. My case was very complex involving many doctors and surgeries. Geraldine, Claudia and her office staff always keep me informed and comfortable with the pr...ogress of my case. All I had to do was work on getting better. Geraldine is highly knowledgeable and experienced. I recommend Geraldine to anyone who is looking for a work comp or P.I. attorney. I am blessed to have meet Geraldine she is my Angel! I trust Geraldine with my life!!!
