Client Reviews

When my two brothers were T-boned by a LAPD cruiser in June 2024 and suffered life threatening injuries, I knew we'd have to find legal representation. We formed a team to research law firms and eventually met with Robert Glassman at the hospital. He impressed us with his insights, how he answered our questions, and his demeanor.

As events unfolded over 15 months, we came to see how skilled and tenacious Robert was. I say tenacious because our adversary was the City of Los Angeles. Almost anyone who looked at this case thought it would settle in short order. But the City Attorney fought us all the way and only agreed to settle during the trial when the evidence presented by Robert and his team showed overwhelmingly how solid our case was.

Leading up to the trial, we met his team-Jon Davidi, Tom Schultz, Joe O' Hanlon. Previously we had met Kimberly, Lily and Brian Panish. All very experienced and accomplished in their field.

During the actual trial I had the privilege of meeting with the team in their onsite conference room several times and saw how they prepared and made real time strategy adjustments. Robert prepared and reassured me for my upcoming testimony and the inevitable cross exam. And while I was on the stand, gently led me through the testimony.

Through it all, Robert was always responsive to my questions and showed interest and concern for the health and care of my brothers.

I think Robert will come to be known as one of the premier trial lawyers in SoCal.

We can't thank Robert Glassman, and the Panish firm enough for their help.

Tom, and brothers Rich and Steve Paper

Choosing Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP was quite honestly the best decision we have ever made. Our attorney friends recommended them, and I am grateful for that advice. I cannot say enough about this outstanding firm, and specifically Tom Schulz and Alex Behar. They both illustrated the utmost in professionalism. I felt the comfort as though I was talking with friends while having the confidence from working with the very best attorneys. They were always available to answer my questions and provide informed insight regarding all aspects of my case. While I entered this process a bit late as a reluctant client, I found their counsel reassuring. Our settlement was so much more than we would have thought possible at the onset of our process. It has been life changing and will enable us to move forward from my terrible accident. Thank you Tom and Alex!

We greatly appreciate his expertise and would confidently recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney who delivers results with integrity and professionalism.

The law office of Panish/Shea/Ravipudi has done great things in my life. I was originally with another attorney, and I still am, when the firm accepted us both with open arms. Neda was awesome with communication and helping any way she could, along with Sean and Spencer. The team served as each other’s backbone towards every different scenario that was put in front of them. I can truly say this firm, along with my own attorney, has changed my life. They’ve helped give me hope when times were rough, giving me support and the attention when needed.

I want to thank Matthew Freeman who was a part of my case in the beginning with gathering information, Sean Manee with completing it, Neda Saghafi, Spencer Lucas and Dmitry Stadlin for putting the glue and absolute magic together. They’ve shown me how it can all work out by having faith and the right people around you.

I truly thank you all.

Erika Contreras handled my case with the utmost professionalism. She always kept me informed about what was going on, and anytime I called, emailed, or texted her, she responded right away. My case had its ups and downs, but Erika was always there, looking out for my best interest. Not only is she a great lawyer, but she’s also a great person.

After a horrible car accident, we were referred to Panish/Shea/Ravipudi by our cousin, a lawyer. He said his wife was under strict instruction to seek only this firm’s assistance if he was ever involved in an accident. Now that our work with the firm is complete, I can understand why he recommended them so enthusiastically. Tom Schultz and Alex Behar guided us through a process of several arbitrations and hearings, resulting in an award far beyond what we expected at the beginning of the process. They were responsive to communication, and at all times operated with a dogged pursuit of the best outcome for our family.

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding support I received from Erica Vasquez and the entire team at Panish Shea Ravipudi. They were truly relentless in their efforts and demonstrated remarkable efficiency throughout the entire process. From the beginning to the final settlement, Erica, Sean Manny, Spencer Lucas, Yasmeen Gutierrez, Tyler Waters, and Kathy Griffin were consistently communicative and guided me every step of the way. Their dedication and hard work made a significant difference, and I am beyond appreciative of their efforts. I wholeheartedly recommend Erica and the entire team at Panish Shea Ravipudi for anyone in need of legal assistance.

I had nothing but a great experience using this firm. I dealt with several staff members, but primarily Erika, and they were all outstanding. My biggest compliment was the fact Erika kept me up to date with my case. She also was very prompt at returning my emails. We all hear about attorney horror stories but I have just the opposite. Thank you so much for being a great law firm to work with.

I chose this title because, like anyone who's ever crossed the finish line, winning 1st place, receives the checkered flag. The winner, in this case is me. But I couldn't do it without a winning team like Panish Shea Ravipudi. They knew every turn, bump, straight of this racecourse I was in. Every technicality was foreseen, and I was professionally informed. A personal thank you to Dustin Thordarson, David Rudorfer, and my case manager Sally. I wouldn't want to be "on that road" (racetrack) without the team of Panish Shea Ravipudi... after all, they got me my checkered flag.
