"I have worked with John Frye in various capacities for more than 20 years. His litigation skills are superior; his ethics are impeccable; and, most important, he cares about his clients and their case results. I would trust him with any legal matter and am proud of my professional association with him. Mr. Frye is a topnotch trial lawyer and a client could not do better than to retain him."
"John has been my supervising attorney for the majority of my career practicing civil litigation. His attention to detail and work ethic is the example that I strive to meet as an attorney. I have been fortunate to witness firsthand John’s determination to ensure the fair treatment of his clients and the knowledge and experience that he brings in personal injury and insurance litigation. John has handled complex cases involving catastrophic injuries, as well as intricate and complicated bad faith insurance and malpractice cases, with remarkable results. The training that I have received through John’s tutelage is invaluable and I am very fortunate to work with him. I fully endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Frye is extremely knowledgeable, competent and innovative. He manages a legal team dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome for his clients and works diligently on their cases."
"John Frye is my business partner at Galine, Frye & Fitting. He is a passionate advocate who genuinely cares for his clients and diligently works hard to maximize their compensation in a timely manner. John previously worked both as a public defender and a deputy DA in Santa Cruz County. His criminal law background is invaluable when representing our clients who have been injured by drunk drivers. John also posseses unique insight into how insurance companies value cases after having worked as one of their top litigators for over 20 years. Once an ally of insurance companies, he is now a fierce opponent. John has spent the last ten years keeping insurance companies honest, forcing their hand to pay out compensation on legitimate claims. Currently, he focuses his practice of law in the areas of personal injury and insurance litigation. He is my business partner, mentor, and friend. I absolutely endorse him as one of the most skilled and honest attorneys that I know."
