Posted by Joseph | January 29, 2021 | Hired Attorney

I highly recommend this office!

I give attorney Rosenthal and his staff a five star review. They have handled my case in a very professional manner and always communicated with me before proceeding with any action. Tara had been great about returning calls and informing me on time. They are willing to work on your behalf as well as... go an extra mile to ensure their customers are satisfied. I highly recommend this office!

Thank you David and staff for all your hard work and service!

I was involved in a high speed collision on the freeway in which an out of control vehicle hit me. I was in the emergency room twice for my accident and received multiple xrays and MRIs. I suffered from a broken sternum with a hematoma under my ribs and bruising on my legs. I was in severe pain fo...r weeks in my neck and chest. Once I was contacted by the other parties insurance and was told that I would receive a settlement, I knew I needed a lawyer. My wife contacted Rosenthal law online and David reached out to me promptly. Having never consulted with a lawyer before I was a little nervous. David listened to my whole story and informed me of all options that I had and what the process looked like. After reading Davids testimonials, I decided to have Rosenthal law represent me. The Rosenthal staff truly provides me with world class customer service and was always patient with all of my questions and worked hard to make sure I was informed along the process. Going forward I will always use Rosenthal law to represent me and would highly recommended Rosenthal law to friends and family. I would also recommend Rosenthal law to any service members or veterans, as I am an active duty airmen. Thank you David and staff for all your hard work and service!

Posted by Sundeep | July 29, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Wrongful Death

Thank you Dave for what you've done for us.

I was going through a devastating time when my mother passed away in a car accident where she was t-boned back in March of 2016. The other party in the accident hired a lawyer and were suing my mother's estate while the other party's insurance agents were calling me. It was a lot to process espec...ially with taking care of my family through this loss, my mom's funeral, and everything in between. Not knowing how to navigate the legal system at all, I immediately began researching lawyers for car accidents and contacted many of them with good reviews. Because the police report blamed my mother for the accident solely based on the word of the other party, quite a few lawyers turned me down. Luckily I found Dave who was willing to take my case. He believed in my case and aggressively demanded the other party's insurance pay their full insurance limits for the wrongful death of my mother. He was able obtain a black box from the other party's vehicle which proved they provided false information to the police officer regarding the circumstances of the accident. Dave fought for me, took care of me, and stood up to the insurance company in a time where I lost everything. I only needed to provide him information about my mother and I regarding the case. I was then able to take care of my family and I during this difficult time. Despite our strong case, the insurance company was reluctant to pay full limits so we took them to court. Dave handled everything properly and aggressively with the insurance company while assuring us everything would be fine through the process. It took a long three years as insurance companies are known to drag out the process to wear out the plaintiff in trying to get them to settle for less. But Dave helped us persevere through it all. Dave is an elite lawyer who helped us get a very large settlement from the insurance company. Dave was very methodical in his approach to preparing my case and myself for trial. He informed me what my possible outcomes would be and helped me navigate through this difficult case. Thank you Dave for what you've done for us.

I am very happy with the results.

The team was very thorough, they walked me through all the steps. They are very good at what they do. I appreciate all the work that went into my case. I am very happy with the results.

Posted by Dave | February 13, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Personal Injury

The service I received was nothing less than exceptional.

Mr. Rosenthal and his staff provided me updated info on my son's claim every step of the way. There would have been no way I could have gotten my son the compensation he deserved if I had dealt with the insurance company alone. I would highly recommend seeking legal advise if you are ever involved in... an injury accident. Dave Hall
