Our Clients' Success Stories

At Effres & Effres, your satisfaction is our priority! See for yourself what our clients have to say about working with us.

    "I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney."
    Dear Mr. Effres, I would like to express my deep appreciation for assisting me when I called you regarding the problem I had with a dental group I had been going to. Unfortunately my only solution will be small claims court. Here is a case where the dentist said he was qualified to do root canals and missed the canal and went into my gum even though he took 3 x-rays during the procedure, and very casually said, “sometimes things like this will happen.” I wish to thank you again for your advice and you can be assured I will most certainly come to you if & when I need an attorney. Your thoughtfulness meant a lot! by H. M.

    "We are very fortunate to have you for our attorney!"
    Dear Steven, Just a note during the holiday season to tell you how much we appreciate all of your hard work and dedication on the Maria case. This December is the second anniversary of my mother’s tragic accident in the Burbank Mall parking lot. We could not have gotten through the tangle of issues and problems without you. We are very fortunate to have you for our attorney! Thank you again for your hard work, PATIENCE and perseverance on our behalf. by L & M

    "The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary."
    After I decided to use the services of Effres and Associates I was given a list of things I needed to do in order to document my injuries. The lawyers were very detailed and helped explain why every step was necessary. Everything was my decision and they were willing to work with me instead of pushing me into what they felt was right. They also constantly communicated with me in regards to my recovery, medical issues and the progress of the case. This firm helped me get the compensation I deserved after I herniated a disc in my low back and nearly died in a car accident. Nothing can completely take away the events of one night but being able to afford any future medical treatment necessary and having been compensated for five years of lost wages was a good start. I cannot imagine using a different firm. I have referred any one I know to the lawyers at Effres and Associates because these guys are top class.

    "Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful."
    Dear Mr. Effres and Office, It has been almost a year since we accepted the settlement for Jonathan and we wanted to thank you all for your help. We will not forget the empathy you showed us during the stressful time we were going through as a result of Jonathan’s injury. Everyone in the office was always pleasant and helpful. We also recognize the thoroughness with which our case was prepared should it have gone to trial. We won’t hesitate to refer you to our friends should they need an attorney. Jonathan is starting kindergarten next week and has a full-time mom now (since February)! We are all enjoying our new house. Wishing you all the best

    "I believe one would be very well served by him as their attorney."
    Mr. Effres was extremely helpful to me in my search for the right attorney for my situation. He selflessly listened and engaged in a very respectful and cogent way. In the conversation his intellect, professionalism, and most important personal ethics became quite apparent. While he did not represent me, I believe one would be very well served by him as their attorney.

    "I want to thank you and say, God Bless you. If I ever need a lawyer again I won’t forget you."
    Dear Mr. Effres, It was very kind of you to want to help me with getting settled with social security. I did not send any papers, as I thought I should wait until the first of the month. I have received my check at last. It came on the 3rd of August. I must tell you it made me very happy to know you wanted to help me. I did appreciate that so much, and I want to thank you and say, God Bless you. Sincerely, M. K. P.S If I ever need a lawyer again I won’t forget you. by M. K.

    "They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom."
    I'm an attorney. My mom was seriously injured in a slip-and-fall accident. Steve and Justin represented my mom. They did an absolutely fantastic job and obtained a stunning settlement for my mom. And they're both wonderful human beings. They, and their staff, treated my mom with kindness and respect. I cannot sing their praises enough!

    "I would absolutely trust him from start to finish in his advocacy, expertise and dedication."
    Highly ethical attorney with a sincere and dedicated approach to his clients and practice. Without a doubt, a very reputable, highly recommended and top notch civil litigator in the areas of serious injury and medical/dental malpractice and wrongful death. Having known him professionally for over 15 years, I would absolutely trust him from start to finish in his advocacy, expertise and dedication.
