Excellent job!

Mr. Boris Efron was our car accident attorney for many years. Navigating the aftermath of an accident — from dealing with insurance companies to managing medical bills — was overwhelming, but he and his team took everything off our plate and handled every detail with care and professionalism. Comm...unication was excellent. Our calls and emails were always answered promptly, and any complex legal terms were explained clearly and patiently. We always felt informed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Thanks to Mr. Efron’s expertise, dedication, and determination, we achieved a settlement that far exceeded our expectations. He truly fought for us and ensured we received the treatment and compensation we deserved. Mr. Efron is not only highly knowledgeable and experienced, but also fair, generous, and someone who consistently goes the extra mile for his clients. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a compassionate, diligent, and truly exceptional car accident attorney.

Grateful for an attorney who believed in my case.

I came to the law offices of Boris E. Efron for my personal injury case. I didn’t think I had much chance of success. He believed otherwise. Boris guided me through a long process, and after nearly five years, helped me reach a solid settlement. His professionalism, persistence, and communication ma...de all the difference. I truly appreciate the countless hours and work he and his entire team put in!

Knowledgeable and Communicative

Boris is the epitome of the trustworthy and active attorney we would all hope to have on our side. He is communicative, prompt, and proactive. Boris involves you in every step of the process, without complicating things beyond what's necessary. I would highly recommend him and the whole Efron team to... handle your case.

Absolutely the best lawyer

Boris is an excellent, knowledgeable, and caring attorney -- I could not recommend him enough. Boris took my highly complicated, multi-year case and skillfully brought it to a successful close. Boris showed care every step of the way. His attention to detail is phenomenal, as well as his creativit...y to navigate through complex issues. I highly recommend Boris Efron as a seasoned attorney, I certainly received the best care and service from him.

Success with Boris Efron Law Office!

When we first contacted the Law Offices of Boris Efron through a referral, we had little hope for a positive outcome due to the nature of our case. However, Boris, Gail, and their incredible support team took on our case and far exceeded our expectations. They were patient and persistent, guiding us ...through a process that was entirely new to us. Their expertise and determination to see the case through were truly remarkable, and we are very pleased with the outcome. We wouldn’t want to be on the opposing side. We highly recommend Boris and his team!

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.
