“From the very beginning to the very end Andy Schwartz was always there for me.”

If you are reading this then you are likely feeling completely lost and in need to find a lawyer to help you with something that has caused a dramatic change in your life-I know because I have been there. I was nothing more than your average, everyday person just trying to survive and make it through another day when all of that changed for me in a split second. Our young family of four were driving on the freeway when a cargo van crossed the center median and hit us-killing both my husband (age 26) and our oldest daughter (age 3). Our youngest (19 months) was air lifted to Oakland's Children's Hospital and I was driven by ambulance to the nearest hospital. From this moment on my mind was a blank sheet of paper still in shock from what just happened but it soon became evident I needed to take legal action for the wrongful death of my husband, child, a daddy, a sister, and inflicted injuries. Thankfully, for me, I have strong family supporters and friends. With all of my side of the family being in the medical field a surgeon my mom works with told her about Andy Schwartz and about how wonderful he was with a recent case of theirs. Andy Schwartz came highly recommended. They gave us Andy's number and said they would also call Andy Schwartz and give him my number after telling him what had happened. Before I got home that night Andy Schwartz had called me and expressed how important I and this case was to him. Per my agreement, and by Andy's desire, the next day he drove all the way to where I was staying (A several hour drive) to meet myself and my family and to discuss what he can do for me. It was from that moment and meeting Andy face to face that I felt completely confident with Andy as the person representing myself and our youngest child. From the very beginning to the very end Andy Schwartz was always there for me. He went above and beyond with everything and even helped me with some personal matters that had nothing to do with this case which I highly thank him for. He takes the time to really get to know you and everyone involved and not because it's his job but because he sincerely cares. He did for me in half the time what it should normally take which has helped my youngest and I get back onto our feet after such a horrible tragedy. If you want a confident person you can trust to fight for you Andy Schwartz is the right guy. My youngest and I would not be where we are if it weren't for Andy Schwartz and for that we will always be so grateful.

Thank you Andy!

“There is no attorney I can more highly recommend than Larry Cook.”

There is no attorney I can more highly recommend than Larry Cook. Though I've dealt with numerous legal situations in the course of my career, having a personal injury case was a completely different experience. Larry was the epitome of professionalism, and due to his expertise and knowledge, I was as comfortable and confident as I could be under very stressful circumstances. Larry was also very helpful in helping me to have realistic expectations regarding outcome and cost. I was in the best of hands, and my case was resolved very much to my satisfaction. The experienced judge in my case, after observing Larry's expert handling of the settlement hearing, did not hesitate to tell me that I had a very good attorney, and I could not agree more.

“Larry always made sure that we knew every change with our case and kept us informed.”

My sister and I hired Larry Cook after losing our mom in a motorcycle accident in July of 2013. He came highly recommended and both my sister and I now understand why. During the most horrific time in our life Larry was able to help us feel at ease about the decisions we were about to make. He was caring, compassionate, down to earth and honest about every aspect of the case and when things were the lowest of the low he always had a way to shine light on it and give the assurance that we were doing the right thing and that it would all work out. Larry always made sure that we knew every change with our case and kept us informed. During the months of our case we dealt with some very difficult situations and he was there to "hold our hand" every step of the way. I pray every day that I never have to hire him again, but he will be the first I go to if the need arises.

“It was extremely interesting to watch Andy in action firsthand and to see how he was able to extract the largest possible settlement.”

I was involved in a serious accident when our vehicle hit black ice on a highway in Utah. I had no idea where to go for help but was referred to Andy Schwartz. We have just concluded my case achieving an outstanding settlement via Andy’s efforts. Andy took care of all the details of the case in dealing with the insurance company and multiple medical providers. He did a great job in presenting my case and in negotiating the final settlement during mediation sessions. During mediation is where skill and experience count. It was extremely interesting to watch Andy in action firsthand and to see how he was able to extract the largest possible settlement and avoid going to arbitration or to court. If you have a personal injury and want the best possible representation you will want to engage Andy Schwartz.

“Andy became more than just a lawyer, he became my advisor and my support when I needed it most.”

Andy Schwartz came highly recommended and now I know why. Andy became more than just a lawyer, he became my advisor and my support when I needed it most. It's not every day a citizen decides to file a lawsuit against police officers, their department and the city that employs them. A victim of excessive use of force and intimidation, I had everything to lose, but Andy understood the big picture and had the experience to get me through the ordeal. After a single consultation, Andy was thrilled to represent me and I was honored to have such an experienced and professional lawyer on my side. Having developed the upmost respect and trust for Andy, I continue to engage him as a mentor and a friend.

“Andy Schwartz knows how to get things done!”

My husband and I never thought we would be involved in a lawsuit much less one involving medical malpractice. My husband was injured secondary to medical negligence which resulted in a prolonged hospitalization and permanent injuries. We were referred to Andy Schwartz at Casper, Meadows, Schwartz & Cook. From the start Andy and everyone in his office treated us with compassion and respect. It was immediately apparent that Andy had a wealth of experience, and loved his work. We were thrilled when Andy agreed to represent us. He handled and resolved our case quickly, efficiently, and professionally with extraordinary results. Andy kept us informed throughout the process and always returned our calls in a timely manner. It was also very clear from the beginning that because of Andy's experience, expertise, integrity and reputation the attorneys representing the defendants were willing to work with us toward a prompt resolution. Andy Schwartz knows how to get things done! Andy was very willing to talk us through difficult moments, showed care and compassion and was there for every step of the process. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Andy Schwartz to anyone seeking counsel for a personal injury matter.

“He is an amazing attorney and a very caring human being. Andy knows his stuff.”

3 years and multiple surgeries later and we are done. Andy Schwartz was there from day 1. I was able to let him take charge and take care of the lawsuit as I was on the mend from my extreme injuries. He is an amazing attorney and a very caring human being. Andy knows his stuff. Everyone seems to know him. I think that is what you want and need in an attorney. The other side of the table looks at who is representing you and whether it is worth settling or going to court. In my case, it could have very well gone to court and not been the positive outcome that was awarded me through settlement. I absolutely believe that as the numbers added up it came down to who they were going to face in the courtroom. I am resolute in my belief that they didn't want to take Andy on. You want Andy to handle your case.

“I was most impressed with Andy's tenacious spirit for the legal system.”

I was referred to Andrew Schwartz after the heartbreaking loss of my husband in 2007. It was an extremely painful time for me, but after my initial meeting with Andy I was positive that hiring him to handle my case was the right decision. I had never been involved in a lawsuit before and was rather intimidated by what the whole process would entail. However, Andy was very good at explaining each process to me and kept me well-apprised of the details through phone calls, e-mails, and office visits. There were many challenges throughout the long course of action, but Andy was there to handle every new development with perseverance and professionalism. I was most impressed with Andy's tenacious spirit for the legal system, as well as his human compassion for both myself and my young son. I can't possibly thank him enough for his utmost commitment to my case and friendship through the most difficult time of my life.

“He was clear, confident and hopeful which made me feel the same way.”

Last Christmas while walking in a cross walk, I was hit by a car. I was rushed to the emergency room by ambulance. After being released from the hospital I was in enormous pain and could not work. This was a big problem for me as I was self-employed and if I did not work I did not get paid. Then the bills starting coming; from the ambulance company, the hospital and my own health care provider. A good friend of mine suggested I call Andy Schwartz saying "he is the best." Andy was the best and he took care of everything. Andy cared about my health as well as my case. He kept me informed by emails, phone calls and letters. He was clear, confident and hopeful which made me feel the same way. A short nine months later I had a significant settlement check. Thank you Andy.

“I always felt like Mr. Meadows was genuinely concerned about me.”

I suffered serious injuries in a pedestrian versus truck accident while walking through the parking lot at work. I [consulted] with Mr. Meadows, who was recommended through a friend of my daughter's. Since I was recovering from major surgery, Mr. Meadows kindly offered to come to my home to meet with me and my daughter. From that day, he took care of all negotiations with the insurance companies involved, keeping me informed by email and phone. I was grateful to be able to concentrate on my rehabilitation. Eventually, when I was released by my surgeon, Mr. Meadows secured a significant settlement from my insurance company for the permanent disability caused by the accident. I feel sure that without his help, this would not have happened. I always felt like Mr. Meadows was genuinely concerned about me.

“Michael made every effort to minimize our stress by keeping us informed of all developments.”

My husband and I hired Michael Meadows to represent us in a personal injury suit. As Canadians involved in a traffic accident in California we were totally out of our element. As I was seriously injured in the accident and hospitalized, Michael came to the hospital for a consultation and from that first meeting he treated both my husband and myself with respect and compassion. Upon my release from hospital we returned to our home in Canada but we never felt isolated, Michael made every effort to minimize our stress by keeping us informed of all developments. He was always just a phone call or email away. Michael was always professional and very sensitive to our situation as were all the staff at Casper, Meadows & Schwartz. Michael negotiated a settlement to our suit and we were very satisfied with the outcome.

“Andy helped guide us through the most difficult time of our lives and I'm not sure how we would have gotten through without him.”

My wife and I hired Andy Schwartz after our 5 year old son lost his life due to the negligence of others in 2009. Early after our son's passing, when we couldn't see through the numbing trauma and fog-like grief that accompanies the loss of a child, Andy was there to look out for our best interests. He did everything in his power to support my family and me, to help us make sense of what happened to our son, and to demand that those responsible for his death be held accountable for their actions. From the very beginning, Andy acted with integrity, consideration, and respect for our wishes and needs and our son's memory. He supported and counseled us through every step of what is a heartbreaking and overwhelming process: from investigating the circumstances that led to our son's death and interpreting the police report of the incident, to helping us deal with media coverage and finally representing our family in court. Andy helped guide us through the most difficult time of our lives and I'm not sure how we would have gotten through without him.

“It was a long road to recovery and Mike was there every step of the way.”

Recently my husband and I were involved in a tragic automobile accident which nearly ended my life. After spending two months in the hospital with a severe brain injury, I was finally able to return home to begin my outpatient rehabilitation. A family friend recommended we consult with Mike Meadows to help us through the legal process. Mike came to our home to meet with our family and we immediately knew he was the person we would like to represent us. It was a long road to recovery and Mike was there every step of the way. He and his staff were extremely compassionate, patient and knowledgeable. We were very fortunate to receive a significant settlement, which would not have been possible if it weren't for Mike's perseverance. I would highly recommend Mike Meadow and his law firm without hesitation. My family and I are extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Mike. Thanks again!

“Through Adam Carlson's excellent direction and supervision, my case had a positive outcome”

I broke both arms in a fall at an office building in Walnut Creek. Adam Carlson was recommended to us through mutual acquaintances. He interviewed me the first time at the Rehabilitation Center. He was very supportive and sympathetic. Through his excellent direction and supervision, my case had a positive outcome. I was very apprehensive but he was able to keep me calm and rational throughout the proceedings. I would highly recommend Adam Carlson and his firm for any accident.
