Personal Injury

Honestly the BEST. Valerie took my personal injury case defending me recognizing there was no possible chance of winning and it was about minimizing the damage. She was able to work with my financial status and communicated with me throughout the legal process. There were so many times where it would have been cheaper to file for bankruptcy, however Valerie got me through this case without my having to do this. Yes attorneys are expensive and I've worked with attorneys who just took my money or wanted to settle. Valerie presented me options and expressed how much things would cost and after two years refunded me the balance of our trust. I spoke with hundreds of lawyers before I chose Valerie because of her reputation on SuperLawyers and Avvo in addition to her close proximity to the courthouse recognizing she was legit and not just someone with a license to practice law. While I do not ever want to need legal representation, Valerie Garcia-Hong is the first person I would ask for help

Luckily for me, Valerie was recommended by my niece who is in her own right an accomplished attorney. Valerie got me the EXACT outcome I told her I was comfortable with to resolve my problem. And she did it fast. Once they met her, the other side instantly became VERY reasonable. . . . . and affordable! Way to go, Val!

I could not say enough positive things about Valerie and her team!! I was in my first ever car accident where someone rear ended me and it was a pretty traumatizing experience to go through. Something like this created many issues for me and Valerie stepped in and helped me handle everything. I don't know how I would have gotten through all of the hurdles without her. To know that I could trust her to handle things the way that I wanted gave me great peace at such a difficult time. Valerie is professional, understanding, and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to her business. If you are questioning whether or not you should hire a lawyer PLEASE look no further!! You will not regret it one bit when you meet her and her team!

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions
