Dunn Panagotacos LLP Berkeley Ca review signals at a glance

I have nothing but good things to say about Gus Panagotacos and his law firm. Dealing with a personal injury case is often very emotionally difficult and stressful, but Gus did an excellent job representing my family and me. I initially had reservations and prejudices about hiring a personal injury attorney to help us with this matter, but after speaking with Gus the first time he gave us the confidence we needed to move forward in the process with him by our side. He was very clear about what to expect from him and his team and he worked with us throughout the entire process to make sure we were satisfied with the outcome. Once he agreed to take us on as clients, him and his team got to work immediately and were extremely thorough and diligent. He was always very excellent at keeping us informed along the way and offering his professional opinion. Gus also has an excellent bedside manner and treated us with the upmost respect, kindness and empathy. I appreciate that he was always very transparent and realistic with us, and he did so with grace and sensitivity. We feel so fortunate that we chose him to represent us, and we are happy with the resolution. Anyone would be lucky to have Gus and his team represent them in a personal injury case.

I highly recommend Ryan Dunn. He treated me with care, kindness and respect. He and his paralegal were responsive and help me to understand the case process. I am thankful for their professional representation.

I cannot speak more highly of my experience being represented by Ryan Dunn. He treated me with care, kindness and respect during an extraordinarily difficult time in my life. He was very available to explain the legal process to me and was understanding of the needs of my children and I. He was able to effectuate a settlement that will greatly help our family after a serious car accident. The settlement exceeded all of my expectations and is due entirely to Ryan’s efforts. We are enormously grateful.

I absolutely love this law firm, Ryan and his team are highly skilled professionals with great customer service etiquette. My only regret is, that they do not practice in the mid-west and Tx area. Thank you for your continued support and patience during our business ventures together ❤️

I have referred 3 people to Loren Schwartz who all raved about the professionalism and the results gotten when working with Loren. I wouldn't hesitate to refer him others I know who unfortunately had an accident and deserves compensation

We were referred to Ryan Dunn after my mother suffered a terrible fall and injury in her apartment building and he helped us navigate the litigation process and brought her to a desired settlement without any added stress. Ryan is extremely easy to work with, responsive, professional, and clearly knows his trade. He gave us great advice throughout and highly recommend him.

Loren Schwartz is an amazing lawyer for those suffering from personal injury. He is empathetic and kind to his clients, and relentless in his pursuit of fair awards for them. I have recommended friends and colleagues to Loren and they are always impressed with his practice, team and results.

I suffered an injury that severely affected my ability to work as a professional and forever changed how I approached my everyday life. An attorney I knew referred me to Loren Schwartz, telling me that he is very good at what he does. And boy was that attorney right. From day one, Loren did everything to delve deep into all aspects of my case and injury. Through years of practicing personal injury law, he has accumulated a vast amount of medical knowledge and experience. He knows how to deal with insurance folks and regularly calls upon a powerful network of medical experts and doctors who are top of their field, who frankly blow the opposing medical experts out of the water with their honest and knowledgeable insights. They were essential in countering everything the opposing side had to say about my injuries. The other side fought hard, and we did too, for three long years. But every step of the way, I was confident knowing that I could rely 100% on Loren's advice. Maria Mahomar and Esparanza were also consummate professionals working to get the best results for clients as well. Loren walked me through the details of my own case to objectively understand the strengths and weaknesses. He spared NO effort in advocating the best for me in court with motions, trial preparation, and mediation. Of course, every case is slightly different but everything Loren did in my case laid the foundation for a fair settlement, eventually forcing the other side to see the light. As someone who previously spent a lot of time giving professional advice to clients, I felt extremely fortunate that Loren was there to give me reliable advice when I needed it. To this day I still count my blessings from having met such a wonderful, talented, and caring attorney. Thanks to his efforts and the efforts of everyone at the firm, I can finally say my case settled with a great result!

Matt, Gus and the team at Dunn & Panagotacos LLP are consummate professionals who handled my case with the utmost care. They were able to obtain an outcome which vastly exceeded expectation and did so while providing regular and transparent communication throughout the process. Should the need arise, I would place my trust in them again without hesitation.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this firm. From the moment I contacted them about my accident until we settled the case, Gus was fantastic. Gus (Constantine) Panagotacos handled our case and was extremely thorough and fought with our best interest in mind. We ended up settling for more than expected initially because he stuck with it and made sure we were not taken advantage of during the process. Gus was also very compassionate and caring to my injuries and explained every detail of our case to make sure we always knew what was going on and were not left wondering. I hope no one ever needs a personal injury attorney, but if you do, I would absolutely recommend Dunn & Panagotacos as your legal representation.

In 2018 I suffered a work accident. I almost lost my life when a scaffold built by a general contractor collapsed while I was working on it. Luckily only my feet were fractured. As a result of the accident I had surgery to my heel bone back in place with metal screws and a metal plate. The doctor told me that my right heel was like a broken eggshell in many little pieces and I would not be able to run or do the physical activities I used to do before the accident. And I was shocked to find out that the general contractor was uninsured. The general contractor and homeowner helped me with some money for a few weeks. One day they stopped visiting me and I realized my new reality; I was a cripple in a wheelchair not able to work and provide for my family. The homeowner's insurance company contacted me and told me that they didn't have to help me because I was working as a licensed independent contractor when the accident happened. They offered me $5000 - just because they wanted to helping me with some money. That is when I started looking for help. A friend recommended me one of the best of the accident attorneys in the bay area with 38 years of experience. This attorney told me, "You don't have a case. You should take the $5000 they offered you and be grateful." I was very sad and disappointed. It was not my fault that the scaffolding collapsed and now I was a cripple in a wheelchair not able to work. I talked to another attorney. He said, "Your case is too difficult." I talk to yet another attorney and he said "I'm too busy to take your case but you can Google superlawyers.com. I hope you can find some one who can help you" At this point I was very frustrate, I felt like life was pissing on me in a dark cold pit. I said to myself "This is the last time I'm going to call an attorney" I googled superlawyers.com , I saw a picture of a young attorney and called him. We talked, he said, "Yes indeed, it is a difficult case. But I have a colleague who has experience with difficult cases and he had won a very difficult cases. Would you like to talk to him" I responded, "yes please!' A few days later, I met Loren Schwartz and his assistant Maria. My English is good but Maria spoke Spanish and that was a plus. After a long conversation with Loren, he explained that indeed it was a difficult case but he likes challenges and he was willing to help me. At that moment I felt like life stopped pissing on me and I saw a light at the end of the tunnel. Loren is an easy-going attorney who is going to fight with all he has. It felt like my brother or a good friend was fighting for me. Loren and Maria always answered the phone and kept me posted. It was a great experience seeing Loren do his work; calling doctors, asking for their expert opinions. That was amazing!!. After almost 2 years, the case is now closed and I am glad I did not take the money the insurance company offered me in the beginning. My wife says meeting Loren S. was a blessing and I agree with her meeting Loren was a blessing. There are good honorable people working at Dunn & Panagotacos

Loren S. and the team at Dunn and Panagotacos were incredible. I had a bit of a messy Personal Injury case, having been in two car accidents (one of which was a hit and run) back to back, a previous attorney who had mishandled my case, and was cutting it close to the deadline to settle the case. But Loren and his team stepped in and listened to my concerns, needs, and frustrations and it was smooth sailing from the moment I signed my case over to them. I appreciated Loren and Maria’s consistent communication and check in’s/updates via phone call and emails. He always laid out all of the different options I had in-front of me, and advised me which ones would be the best course of action given my case. I felt so at ease knowing an honest, competent and compassionate attorney was handling my case. If you’re looking for a firm or an attorney to represent you, Loren and D&P are your guys!
