Very competent attorney

Richard delivers and helped me secure a good settlement in an injury I sustained due to no fault of my own. He is one of the most respected attorneys in all of Santa Barbara county.

Great Results

I was an attorney for many years and was well aware of Richard Brenneman's excellent reputation as a personal injury lawyer and trial lawyer on the Central Coast. When I was injured in a collision, I came to him. As I expected, Richard Brenneman obtained great results for me. I highly recommend him....

Settlement Far Exceeded My Expectations

I was injured in a motor vehicle accident when I was rear-ended while at a full stop. I underwent four shoulder surgeries due to the injuries I sustained in this accident. Two separate parties were at fault and dealing with the insurance companies became overwhelming. I knew it was time to seek legal... advice. I was referred to Mr. Brenneman through a friend. Richard Brenneman's knowledge of personal injury law made it possible for me to reach a settlement with both insurance companies. This settlement far exceeded my expectations. I fully recommend Mr. Brenneman and his staff for any personal injury cases.

Great Settlement

I was involved in an accident where I injured my knee pretty severely. I was referred to Mr. Brenneman by a friend of mine. Because of his knowledge of personal injuries, I was able to get a great settlement in my case. I highly recommend Mr. Brenneman and his staff. They are all great to work wi...th.

Thankful for his knowledge of law, professional skills and experience

I first learned about the legal skills of Mr. Brenneman about twelve years ago when my son was severely injured in a car accident after being rear-ended by a careless teen driver. This task was complex and included battling with one of America's largest auto manufacturers. It was a battle to the end.... I am thankful for the skills Mr. Brenneman possesses. More recently, I was involved in a car accident with injuries. The accident was not my fault, and I also ended up with a totaled vehicle. I attempted on my own unsuccessfully many, many times to settle with the insurance company at fault. However, the insurance adjuster/representative made it extremely hard for me; I told him I would get an attorney if they continued to ignore the fact that they are responsible for my medical bills and vehicle replacement cost. The adjuster's reply was “go ahead and do what you have to do”! After that conversation I contacted Mr. Brenneman. It is because of Mr. Brenneman’s knowledge of law and professional skills and experience in dealing with insurance companies over a period many years he just knows how to open doors and get just compensation for his clients. I am extremely pleased with Mr. Brenneman’s legal services, and would recommend him to anyone.
