I recommend Law Offices of Robert Wallenstein. Bob is a great attorney. He is a very compassionate person. He is very transparent with his clients and is very knowledgeable regarding the law. An attorney that I would want to represent me and in my corner without a doubt. He is very attentive to his clients needs and jumps right into getting his clients back to their normal lives. Best Team!

I was referred to Robert Wallenstein and his team by a family member after I was in a car accident in 2020. During this process, Robert kept in contact with me, clearly communicated the progress, and followed up on my Physical Therapy and Chiropractor appointments. I want to Thank Robert Wallenstein and his legal Assistant Kelly Middlebrook for all of their help. I would highly recommend Robert Wallenstein to anyone who needs help. Thank you again, La Shaunda Ellison

I am grateful to the Law Offices of Robert Wallenstein for their impeccable service and superior professionalism. Robert Wallenstein was diligent and tenacious in working on my case, while being caring and making sure that I had the medical treatment needed in order for me to recover from the accident. From the moment he took on my case to the settlement, I knew that I was in good hands with Robert and his team. I am extremely thankful for their expertise in reaching the settlement that was fair and just. I would highly recommend Robert Wallenstein if you need an attorney who is so experienced and professional.

Response from owner

I was referred to Robert Wallenstein after a car accident in late 2018. I was hit in front from flying debris from a tow truck and hit in back by a texting college student; neither were insured. My own insurance company had proven to be difficult in a past experience without legal counsel, so I hired Mr. Wallenstein. I had a car full with grandchildren from out of state and he was willing to take us all on. He helped get each person what was fair out of my uninsured policy and got myself the most my policy would allow. He did this in a timely and professional manner. His assistant is/was always available to respond whenever I called or emailed. I would definitely hire this firm again. I would also like to express my appreciation for zero delays in wrapping up this case during a time when our whole nation seems to be on lock down. Thank you again.

Response from owner

You are very welcome. I am glad we were able to get you and your family the justice you deserved. As you can see, even when it's your own insurance company you are dealing with, the bottom line is insurance companies make money by getting as much as they can from you in premiums and paying out as little as possible in claims. They are very, very experienced and really good at it. I look at my role as being able to even the playing field for my clients so they can get fair compensation. I am gratified that we got that for you and the kids.

So grateful for Robert Wallenstein. It Is never fun to be suffering pain going through a lawsuit. Robert and Kelly helped me through. He fought for me and negotiated a Settlement that many said would not be possible.

Response from owner

Thanks for the kind words Rhonda. I hope you are doing well. It was pleasure to be able to help out such a deserving client.

Was first referred to Bob Wallenstein in 2009 after a serious car accident that injured myself and my passenger. Bob and Kelly were very helpful in working with me and my friend in getting a settlement in reference to. Was unfortunate that I found myself in need of their services again when was I rear-ended while sitting at a red light in 2018. Really appreciate their help once again in settling the matter. Hope not to need their services again in the future, but appreciate knowing that Bob and Kelly are there if I need them. Highly recommend them, their professionalism and service are uncontested.

Response from owner

Thanks Syd. I appreciate your nice comments. You were again a pleasure to work with. I too hope you don’t get slammed into again. Two bad crashes is more than anyone should have to go through. I’m glad we were able to get you the fair compensation you deserved.

Mr. Wallenstein went to bat for me. My car was totaled in 2018 when I was rear-ended on the freeway. After this, I had a mountain of medical bills and stress from my injuries. Mr. Wallenstein was able to take my information and win me the full amount for my injuries. I recommend his services to anyone with the misfortune of being involved in an accident.

Response from owner

Thank you Saleem. The satisfaction of my clients in my paramount concern. It also provides me great satisfaction to be able to help people such as yourself who truly need and deserve it.

Robert put me in a bigger whole. He didn't know all the California traffic laws and reported to me that another insurance was 75% liable and in the end he didn't even know they denied liability completely because he wasn't involved with my case. I literally had to haunt them down. Kelly, his assistant was sweet, however, Robert was very unprofessional and told me he was a lawyer not a psychologist because i was expressing my aggravation on how he totally screwed up my case. I now have another lawyer that from the gecko has mentioned everything Robert failed to mentioned to me and on top of it told me to get another Lawyer after messing it all up. Horrible service from him.

Response from owner

What happened in your situation was the insurance company, a known substandard carrier, initially accepted 75% responsibility for the crash but then changed their liability decision after speaking with their insured. I unfortunately could not get them to change their position back voluntarily so I had to suggest filing suit which I was prepared to do. I am sorry this upset you but sometimes you have to force the insurance companies to what they they should, and filing suit becomes necessary. I was prepared to do so but you became upset and decided to go with another attorney. I therefore could not file suit on your behalf or help you any further. I have been practicing law for over 30 years handling exclusively personal injury cases and am thoroughly familiar with the California vehicle code and related traffic laws. I have an AV rating from Martindale Hubbel, the premier attorney rating system in the US which surveys other attorneys and judges in coming up with their rating system. An AV rating means that the rated attorney has the highest possible ethical standards and professional experience.

If there were an option of 0 stars I would rate it as that. Had my case for about a yr, finished all treatment and would call him in a regular to get updates. I’ve only seen the man 1 time. The last step was for him to receive all of my medical records , go through it and then write up a demand letter. I called last Friday to get an update ,since he has never called me once with any status, and of course he never returned my call. That’s the usual. Then I called this past Monday to hear what’s next then he clearly says to me “ I don’t feel like going through your box of medical records. I just don’t have the time for it and I’ll let someone else go on a wild goose chase with this case. This case isn’t a priority for me and I suggest that you retain another lawyer.” Beyond unprofessional and rude!!!! Honestly this lawyer is much more interested in how much your case is worth. If you’re not dying forget it. He wanted a tough case,he accepted it and ended up wasting my time when I could of retained another great lawyer. Pure laziness on his part and literally the box wasn’t even big. I went to pick it up and was like “ are you serious ! This you can go through in a week or 2-3 days and you don’t have time?! Beyond beyond beyond lazy, unprofessional, not personable, no where near trustworthy.Honeslty don’t waste your time with this attorney. STAY AWAY!

Response from owner

I am sorry I was unable to continue with your case. Unfortunately, by the time you finished with your medical care and we obtained all of your records I simply did not have the time to review all of your records and determine whether we could pursue your case any further. Because I did not want you to have to wait to move forward until I had the time to give your case the attention it would require and deserved, I suggested you find another attorney who had the time to do so. That was the appropriate and ethical thing for me to do, as opposed to stringing your case out making you wait just so I could earn a fee on it.<br><br>Although you called on a Friday and I could not get back to you until Monday, please remember the many, many times I spoke with you on the phone over the year to follow your medical condition, recommend skilled physicians in a number of different medical specialties and stay updated on your case. I don't believe your comments fairly reflect the time or effort I put into your case, nor take into account that I obtained a bankers box full of medical records at my own expense, charged you nothing and suggested you get another attorney who had the time to pay immediate attention to your file. I hope you were able to find someone to do so and that you get fairly compensated for your injuries.

Worst experience ever. Unless you’ve lost a limb, he has no intention of helping you. He looks out for his doctor “friends” before he does you.

Response from owner

I'm sorry you were unhappy that your medical providers had to be paid from your settlement. However, when a client obtains their medical care on a lien, signs the lien, directs the attorney to sign the lien and the doctor provides the medical care without charge until the personal claim resolves, the attorney has a legal, moral and ethical obligation to pay the lien. Best efforts were made to negotiate the medical liens down as low as possible. Not paying a medical provider who has provided the care in reliance on the client and attorney paying for that care upon eventual conclusion of the case is not only illegal and unethical, but seriously hurts other future clients/patients who might be unable to obtain necessary medical care because the doctor was stiffed.

This man is not afraid to take the case to a jury. If a lawyer doe not do that, he's not worth your money. Bob is worth every penny!

Response from owner

Thank you for the kind words. You were a pleasure to work with from the beginning of your case through the trial. This was a difficult case and I greatly appreciate that you trusted me to take it all the way through trial. The fact that the defense attorney and insurance company doubled their highest pretrial settlement offer after my closing argument and you took my advice to refuse the higher offer and let the jury decide was a compliment I will never forget. It brought me great satisfaction to see the look on your face when the jury came back with their verdict so many times higher than what the defense had offered to pay.
