Firm: Lem Garcia Law

My name is Lemuel Garcia (call me Lem), and I was born and raised in Southern California. My parents came to the United States from the Philippines to give their three sons (I'm the youngest) better opportunities. My dad was a civil engineer and my mom ran her own hair salon. We didn't have much money growing up, but we had a lot - we had each other.. I can't say that I always wanted to be a lawyer, but I can say that I always wanted to help other people and make my parents proud of me. This hasn't changed at all. I'm proud to be a personal injury lawyer and help people when they really need someone they can trust to do what is best for them.. I opened Lem Garcia Law soon after law school so I could be of service to others without having to answer to anyone else. I wanted to have the opportunity to take cases big and small and to make decisions without just thinking about how much money the office will be making. Essentially, I can treat others the way that I would like to be treated.. With this principle in mind, and the outstanding staff to see it through, I am proud to say that Lem Garcia law has grown into a law firm with an outstanding reputation for excellent results and fantastic service.. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two daughters. If there's any time left over, you can find me at the gym playing basketball or lifting weights.

Firm: Law Ofc Ronald B Laba APC

If you (or someone you care about) have been recently in an accident, chances are you are worrying about what you should do next. You may also be feeling angry or frustrated, or wondering if there is a reasonable way out of this mess.. You may be asking, "Can I trust my insurance company to take care of me? How do I deal with the other insurance companies involved? Will I be forced to see the other insurance company's doctor right after the accident? Will my insurance company give me what I deserve for the damage to my car?". As a lawyer who works with injury cases day in and day out, I am becoming more and more concerned that honest, hardworking Americans are being taken advantage of by uncaring insurance companies and even by our legal system. Insurance companies are making a fortune by low balling injured people, asserting frivolous defenses, questioning and denying reasonable medical expenses, stonewalling and other dubious claims practices. The way decent people are being treated by the big insurance companies these days is, frankly, alarming.. My name is Ronald Laba. I am an attorney who has focused on accidents and injuries for almost 30 years. Today,more than ever, I am frustrated about how hard it is for people to get straight answers to their questions during this stressful time.. In my practice I’ve found that many people are frustrated, scared, intimidated and unsure of what to do.  Sometimes people find it hard just to ask for help.  Some may even believe it’s wrong to bring a claim for personal injuries.. I’ve found that once I talk to people about their claim and the legal process, they feel much better and more at ease about the whole process.  After talking with me they understand what’s fair, and they feel good about doing the right thing.. Either on the phone, at your home or office (whichever you prefer) we'll talk about your accident and related injuries and discuss your legal rights or whatever you would like to talk about.. It is my hope that during this interview I can help you:. Remember, you are under no obligation and no one will pressure you!  Nobody likes being pressured.  I certainly don’t like being pressured.  That’s why you must be careful and take the time to make the best decisions possible. You can’t make a good decision if you are being pressured.. My goal is to simply create a place where you feel comfortable talking with an expert about your legal options and answering any questions you may have. I understand that this can be a difficult time! You may not be feeling well because of the pain of your injuries. Stress and tension can make things much worse.. Ronald B. Laba, Esq.. Attorney at Law

I best describe my approach to litigation as being an even keeled and composed litigator while exhibiting the tenacity of a pit bull.  I do not take too kindly to bullies, both adversaries and judges alike, and will go to no end to preseve my client's rights.. While most attorneys practicing personal injury are not given the opportunity to try cases before a jury until they are several years in practice, I tried my first case the day after being admitted to the Bar as an attorney. Within 8 months, I was a member of the million dollar advocates club having achieved a $1.4 million verdict for my client.  Since such time, I have grown professionally and have cultivated the skillset of a seasoned trial lawyer with results that speak for themselves.. Aside from acquiring experience and skill, I recognize my innate ability to connect with people.  This has undoubtedly given me an edge when it comes to presenting argument and facts to my juries.  More succinctly stated, while great doctors possess great "bedside manner", lawyers must exhibit the same qualities.  Give me 15 minutes of your time and i am confident you will not need to interview any more lawyers.
