Tenacious Attorney

Mr. Ponce took my case and I am quite glad he did. He was always quick to answer my questions and his response time to deadlines was spot on. He was very straightforward in explaining what my case was worth, was professional and persistent. Mr. Ponce successfully secured a significant amount of money... without having to move forward to a court hearing. I would recommend him to anyone who has a personal injury case, particularly one that is unusual and complex. Mr. Ponce is a hardworking, tenacious attorney that is highly respected by me.

He`s good.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ponce and he`s team for taking on my case and walking me through it with kindness and professionalism. They made a very painful and difficult time much easier for me and my family. He kept me informed throughout the process, which gave me peace of mi...nd that they are working hard on my behalf for a good outcome. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr. Ponce to family or friends looking for an experienced attorney. Sincerely Diane

Outstanding

I was rear ended by a truck almost two and a half years ago. The accident left me with temporary and mild permanent damage to my body. We approached Rob in Monterey to take our case so we can receive compensation for the accident I had sustained. Rob was very professional, remembered all information ...I had talked with him about the accident, such as dates, police reports, medical information, etc. and was very easy to talk with. He also explained everything with detail and made it easy to understand what was going on. Thanks to his professionalism we were able to settle the case and receive compensation from the accident.

Robert Ponce

Ponce is so unprofessional. I have never dealt with an Attoney in this magnitude. . I tried every tactic Kindness, finally I spoke to him the way he spoke to me. Ponce is an angry man. He talks over you and Sooo Rude! I gave him all the information/ did my own record finding and more .. basically di...d not do his job . I was hit by a car May 11th 2018 and his still can’t remember the date. . I would stay far away from this Guy! He only has his Best Interest at Heart and sorry to say he is a losers Ponce has an excuse for everything oh it’s the Holidays, Oh my assistant Matt is sick oh now his grandmother is sick. Excuses after Excused. . He can’t even remember when I was hit by a car while walking. And I have spoken to many local people because he wasn’t doing his job and I can’t believe what negative responses from this troll. I will be contacting the BB.

All I could have asked for

I was broad sided driver side by a red light runner and someone recommended that I file a lawsuit. I had no experience in this area, and was referred originally to an attorney who advised me I didn't have much of a case, and who basically did nothing. As time went by and I was approaching the deadl...ine to file, I thought more about it and decided to seek other counsel. I was referred to Rob Ponce by another attorney and was very pleased from the beginning. Rob was also very personable, respectful toward my husband and myself, and as we got to know him better, we found him to be a smart and engaging person. He was always very honest and forthright with me about my case, laying out options and potential and giving me the ability to make the decisions about our approach. It took a bit of time, but we ultimately settled in arbitration, which I was grateful for - I didn't relish going to court, and the final settlement I felt was fair. Overall, I would absolutely work with Robert again, and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for representation in this kind of case. I feel that he is a true expert, is forthright and fair, and can be forceful when it is necessary (a desirable attribute in an attorney.)
