Ziff Harvey L, Palo Alto CA

Mr. Ziff was not an ethical attorney in my case. Call your insurance company yourself and make sure you understand if you even need a lawyer, as the 30% he charged should be because they have done work of some kind to garner the funds from a claim you would not normally receive. In my case I did not need a lawyer, it was flat pay out from the insurance company, Mr. Ziff did not make a single phone call to find this out and so angrily coerced me into surgery misrepresenting the fact that there would not be funds available, no doubt thinking the more money I spent on medical bills the larger his payout would be. I had the knee surgery being told by him it was my only opportunity to have it covered, this was not the case and I found out later was not necessary as again it was a flat payout. I have asked Mr. Ziff to not take 30% of the funds I was supposed to receive as he 1. Was not needed and did nothing to earn any percentage. 2. Misled me re.urgency of surgery, which in the end costing me thousands of additional dollars. I am further behind financially because of using him as my lawyer. I am in the process of reporting the details of this scenario to the California Board.

Very knowledgeable. Atty. Harvey is on top of everything. He also answer calls and replies to email even though it is off hours or the weekend. I got a favorable amount for settlement. Highly recommended.

This attorney was so personable not to mention professional and worked hard for me, and my case, I will forever be referring friends and family to this law firm!

Wife had a biking accident. Mr. Ziff walked us through his process and fee structure upfront and took over handling of all correspondence and discussions with medical providers, insurances and eventually settled with all to an outcome we were happy with. Advice, document everything and be patient.

I had a bicycling accident where the owners of a building had been negligent in marking a speed bump in an adjoining parking lot. I suffered serious injuries that required hospitalization and two surgeries, with many months of recovery. I had never sought a personal injury claim in the past, but on the recommendation of a paralegal I know, selected Harvey Ziff to represent me on a contingency basis.
I relied heavily on Harvey's legal and practical expertise as my case slowly proceeded over the course of two years. When the insurer eventually offered settlement amounts, Harvey demonstrated both his patience and wisdom to help me achieve a very positive outcome.
I can highly recommend Harvey Ziff as a personal injury attorney. He did a fine job handling my case.
