Excellent service

Excellent service and very professional. Mr. Ryan was very attentive and communicative throughout the whole process. I had attempted to handle my case for months on my own, trying to avoid having to deal with lawyers, and was unsuccessful at making any progress with the insurance company. As soon a...s I contacted Pacific Trial Lawyers, the case was closed in no time and I got a much larger settlement than I was hoping for. Never again would I try to handle something like this on my own. I would highly recommend Pacific Trial Lawyers.

Avvo Rating

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.
