Exceptional Workers’ Comp Attorney!

I had an outstanding experience working with Peter on my workers’ compensation case. He did a fantastic job guiding me through every step, and his entire team was incredibly helpful throughout the process. Peter and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, and always easy to reach. They respond qui...ckly to emails and phone calls, which gave me a lot of peace of mind during a stressful time. I highly recommend Peter to anyone who needs a reliable and dedicated workers’ comp attorney!

Gimbel Law Firm is AWESOME !

Peter Gimbel handled a workmen’s compensation case for me against a very big and hard company to win against. Peter never gave up the fight, and kept me well informed every step of the way. His staff was also very professional. Peter got me a very nice settlement and his fee was very fair. I highly ...recommend Gimbel Law Firm. Peter, Jorge, and Olga, thank you so much !

Thank you for helping me when no one else would ,

I want to thank Peter Gimbel and most definitely Olga & Jorge & Cynthia ,, I was injured at work back in 2023 and I made the mistake of hiring the wrong lawyer not once but twice . The second Lawyer I hired wanted to settle my case for 25k and I asked her ?,,,Rachelle how many conversations have you ...had with the insurance company because I don't believe you ever had a single conversation with them one time ..And she had not even spoken to them one time . The day came when I went to this so called attorneys office and we did a deposition .. during the entire deposition this lawyer literally said nothing until the very end which amounted to minimal input on her part .. I actually carried the lawyer through the entire deposition ..it was like not having a lawyer at all ... Right then and there I knew I had to fire this so called incompetent person who I wont even refer to as a lawyer anymore ...After finally getting in touch with an old friend in the Bay area I was finally referred to good attorney and I contacted Peter ..after all of this Peter still took my case ..within days Peter made contact with the right medical care providers and every thing started moving in the right direction ,, my checks finally started arriving on time and significant forward momentum was taking place ...One of the thing's I noticed about the Gimbel Law firm is that Peter and his staff really are in this business to help people ..I believe 100 percent that Peter does this kind of work because he gets upset when he see's the working man / working woman get mistreated by corporate America and he wont stand for it .. Also I saw right away that when Peter took over my case was that the insurance company behaved a lot differently ... they don't want to fight with this law firm ...what I thought was going to be a 4 or 5 year fight was settled in less then 3 years with a settlement amount that I was surprised to receive. This is not just a law firm .. its much more then that .. Its a injured worker help center .. Thank you Peter and all the people at the Gimbel Law Firm. C

Professionalism and personal approach

I had a great experience having Mr. Peter Gimbel  representing me in my Workers’ Compensation claim. He walked me through the process step by step, so I was not overwhelmed. During our meetings, he was well prepared and fully focused on my case; very efficient and attentive, he always gave me an oppo...rtunity to ask questions. He made me feel comfortable and stress free. His team of assistants is great, especially Olga and Jorge, who helped me tremendously. Mostly, I appreciated the high level of professionalism and great personal approach that Mr. Gimbel demonstrated. I would highly recommend Mr. Gimbel and his team to anybody who needs assistance navigating through the labyrinth of Workers’ Compensation.

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.
