What Our Clients Say

I wish I could give this firm 100 stars. I like that they are very straight forward with you, keeping you informed every step of the way and talk to you like a real person, keeping legalese to a minimum so everything is easy to understand. Jessica Sinacori is a hardworking, friendly, very reliable addition to the team and she was a great help during my case. I’m grateful for this firm because without them I probably wouldn’t have gotten anything (accident was not my fault and offending driver had no insurance). Thank you times a million!

Kendyll G

I have to say that this is elite law firm. They help me through every aspect of my case. The professionalism and keeping me informed throughout the process without having to really ask questions was incredible. Mariely Bermudez the paralegal is phenomenal. She will have all your questions answered as soon as you ask. Her attitude, energy and knowledge was exceptional. If you had questions after hours she would give you a response right back. Words can’t define what she met to me going through my case. The way she helps you get things resolved is priceless. I see why Attorney Olive has her on his team.

Spencer Dickason

I’m very grateful for the help you provided me and I am satisfied with the outcome of the case. I will highly recommend your firm to anybody that needs your services. You have an outstanding work group that helps people in both languages. I am very grateful for that and for the work that you have done. You guys are great!

Frank Bonilla

I really appreciate what the law firm did for me. They are very honest and great to work with. They are humble and I appreciate everything the office staff and the attorney did for me. Anytime anything may come up again, I know who to call. I didn’t have to worry about anything.

Charleen Mccray

Everything that was promised was provided. I am very satisfied with the experience I received. Every member of the staff was very helpful.

Juan Sanchez is awesome!! I wish I would have retained him a year sooner. He handled my workers comp claim professionally with care and compassion! I could not be more pleased! Thank you! Great team for sure.

Christie Roberts

This law firm was recommended to me by a close friend. I had an excellent experience over all and if I had to ever count on any law firm to back me up again, it would 110% be this one. The communication was on point. Expectations were always set appropriately. I never felt unsupported. Any questions I had were answered. Thank you to everyone here who was in the mix helping me. Top tier in every way.

Francisco Esquivel

I was reccomend by a friend to attorney juan sanchez for a workers comp claim. I was not getting the proper medical care and was treated very poorly by the insurance company. Juan helped me get the right care and faught to get it done. The staff all were so kind and understood my needs and showed much compassion. I could not have done it with out them. I would highly recommend this law firm.

Sherrie Greene

I don’t think anyone wants to use legal services, but life doesn’t deliver perfection and in some instances it is absolutely necessary. It was a positive experience working with the Olive team, and would recommend utilizing their services should there be a need. I had questions galore as this was not a common place, but they responded to all questions with patience and urgency. Thank you again team. -Cheers

Frequently Asked Questions


To assess if you can sue for personal injury, consider whether the other party had a duty of care, if they breached that duty (negligence), if there is a direct link between their actions and your injury, and if you’ve suffered actual damages. Be mindful of the statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit. Consult with a personal injury attorney for personalized advice based on your situation.

After an accident causing injury and property damage, ensure safety, seek medical attention, and move to a safe location. Report the incident to the police, exchange information with the other party, and document the scene. Take photos, get witness contact details, and retain evidence. Seek medical care, notify your insurance company, and keep records of all communication. Consider consulting legal help and stay in touch with insurance and healthcare providers. For personalized guidance, consult a legal professional.

Hiring a personal injury attorney is crucial because they provide extensive legal expertise, assess the strength of your case, negotiate fair settlements, develop tailored legal strategies, offer court representation, guide you through legal procedures, maximize compensation, handle communications with insurance companies, bring experience from similar cases, and provide peace of mind, allowing you to focus on recovery.

The duration of a personal injury case varies. Factors like case complexity, severity of injuries, insurance cooperation, court schedules, and negotiation periods influence the timeline. Some cases resolve quickly, while others may take months or even years. Consult with your attorney for a more accurate estimate based on your situation.

Yes, it’s recommended to contact your insurance company even if you’re not at fault. This ensures compliance with policy requirements, allows for potential coverage of medical expenses, and provides legal protection. Before contacting your insurance company, you should consult with an attorney who can guide you through the process and can communicate with the insurance companies for you.

Determining compensation for pain and suffering varies. Factors include the severity and duration of injuries, impact on daily life, medical evidence, permanency of injuries, and negotiation skills. There’s no fixed formula, and consulting a personal injury attorney is recommended for case-specific guidance.

No, all automobile accidents are not the same. They can vary significantly based on factors such as the severity of injuries, property damage, the number of vehicles involved, road conditions, and the circumstances leading to the accident. Each accident is unique, and the legal and insurance considerations can differ based on the specific details of the case.
