Client Reviews

Alex Behar and Tom Schultz were fantastic to work with. They were transparent, communicative and incredibly thorough. We never felt like just another client and were always treated with compassion and understanding. Throughout this process we saw how passionate they were, giving us the confidence to keep fighting. They answered our questions before we had them and allowed us to focus on healing. We are beyond grateful and blessed to have had these wonderful people on our side. This team went above and beyond...trust the process and trust this team!

Brian Panish believed and fought for us throughout a very long and difficult trial. He was confident and relentless in pursuit of the best possible outcome for our family. There are no words for what Brian Panish can do in the courtroom, it's true magic.

A special thanks to Joshua Braddock of Arendson & Braddock who started us on this journey and stuck with us for four years. We are forever grateful for his dedication and compassion.

I am so incredibly grateful to Spencer Lucas and Sean Manee at Panish Shea Ravipudi law firm. I don't think there are words to fully explain how blessed I feel. From the very beginning, they handled my case with genuine compassion and professionalism. Their support made one of the most difficult chapters of my life feel a little lighter, and they fought hard to ensure I received the justice I deserved.

They both saw me through some very painful and emotional moments, always showing me patience, understanding, and care. When I was at my lowest, they got me the help I needed. They made me feel heard and protected every step of the way, which meant so much to me.

Both Spencer and Sean are absolute angels. Two years ago, they took over my case, which had already been ongoing for three years. They gave me hope after I had started to lose it after so much time had passed with no progress. They helped bring closure and healing to a very long journey, and I will forever be thankful for their care and commitment.

If you are looking for a team that is not only skilled and hardworking, but truly compassionate and human, do not hesitate to reach out to Panish law firm. You will be in the best hands and you will not be disappointed.

I couldn’t be more grateful to have had Alex Behar and team in my corner. For the very start they listened, fought hard, and made sure justice was served. They handled my case with professionalism, honesty, and relentless determination. Beyond their legal expertise, Alex and team treated me like a human being and not just another case. Fantastic experience and I would recommend them 100 times over!!

From the first consultation, Nadine Ninva Khedry made me feel comfortable and understood. She explained everything clearly and kept me updated throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Nadine for her expertise and unwavering dedication. She not only secured a great settlement for me but also took the time to understand my concerns and provided me with the support I needed during a painful difficult time. She went above and beyond to ensure I received the best possible outcome with my case. Her communication was always clear and professional, and I felt like I could trust her completely. She's a true advocate for her clients. I felt so seen and respected by her.
I now have a better understanding of the legal system and how everything works. I would highly recommend Nadine Ninva Khedry to anyone who needs a personal injury lawyer. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly cares about her clients.

I can’t say enough great things about Panish Shea Ravipudi law firm. From the moment I was referred to them, I felt like I was in the best hands. I had an incident and initially started working with another law firm, but because my case was a bit more complicated, they recommended I reach out to Panish Shea Ravipudi. That’s when I began working with Tom Schultz and Andrew Schrader—and I’m so glad I did.

Tom and Andrew were incredible. They were by my side every step of the way, guiding me through the legal process and always making sure I understood what was happening. They genuinely cared about me and my case, and that made a huge difference during such a stressful time. Communication was always easy—anytime I had a question or concern, I could simply email them and they would respond quickly and clearly.

The entire staff was professional, kind, and extremely helpful. It’s rare to find a team that not only knows the law inside and out but also treats you like a real person. I felt supported from day one, and I’m truly grateful for everything they did for me. If you ever find yourself in need of legal help, I highly recommend Panish Shea Ravipudi. They go above and beyond.

I can’t say enough good things about Tom Schultz and Alex Behar. From day one, it was clear that they’re not just experts in their field but also genuinely dedicated to their clients. They were always available when I needed them, patiently answering my questions and guiding me through every step of the process.

What really stood out was their honesty and commitment to doing what was best for me and my family. I never once felt like just another case—they truly had our best interests at heart. Their professionalism and dedication gave me total confidence, and I’m incredibly grateful for their support.

I had previously worked with two firms on our case and we were getting nowhere. It’s enough dealing with the day-to-day stress after a traumatic life altering event then dealing with next to no communication from two firms who promised you the world; I was simply depleted.

We were approaching a deadline, and with no movement from the current firm, I was referred to Panish | Shea | Ravipudi. Instantly after my first call with Mr. Ravipudi, I knew I had found the right Firm. Tom Schultz and Andrew Schrader have been the backbone of our legal team. They have done what other firms couldn’t, and most importantly, kept their word. I appreciate Andy’s communication and availability. Andy has never closed the door, and being a client, you want to know what is going on with your case. He has never shied away with open communication. This is monumental to a client. The defense kept Andy on his toes with multiple mediations but he was ready every time.

My husband and I are thankful for Panish | Shea | Ravipudi. We appreciate Andrew Schrader and all the time he put into our case. Andy is amazing at what he does. It is reflected in the way he supports his clients.

I highly recommend Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP to anyone seeking legal help. Rahul Ravipudi and Ian Samson are truly outstanding lawyers who go above and beyond for their clients. Rahul’s expertise, strategic thinking, and compassionate approach make him a powerhouse in the industry, consistently achieving remarkable results in high-stakes cases. Ian’s dedication and meticulous attention to detail are equally impressive, as he tirelessly fights for justice and ensures his clients feel supported every step of the way. The knowledge and professionalism that this firm provides for their clients is unmatched; plus, Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP is a well known firm in the industry and is recognized as "elite" by many. If you’re looking for attorneys who genuinely care and deliver exceptional outcomes, Ian Samson and Rahul Ravipudi of Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP are second to none.

I had a great experience with this firm as the spouse of person who experienced a severe disability (Traumatic Brain Injury) following a car accident where a percentage of fault was placed on my husband. The first law firm (a friend of my brother-in-law) that took our case decided to partner with this firm (due to their remarkable reputation) so that our case would move along quicker to resolution. This came after a highly regarded law firm recommended by our neurosurgeon when he was still in a coma stated they wouldn't take our case since my husband had a percentage of fault.

Everyone at this firm that we encountered was extremely professional in their approach with us and the opposing counsel to secure a settlement that helped with future costs tied to the injury. These are very skilled communicators and negotiators. They truly fight for the best outcome given the reality/facts of the case. They helped me navigate a very difficult situation when at times I felt defeated.

Tom Schultz did a great job communicating with my husband when I struggled to convey the purpose of certain actions. His demeanor strikes the perfect balance between cordial and shrewd. Andrew Schrader was on top of everything that needed to be done, keeping us on track. I appreciated his calm demeanor and quick responses to questions I had during the case.

Overall, just a great team to work with given the circumstances of our case. Our outcome was more than we had expected, and it set us up for a life filled with hope about our future as a family with young kids. It alleviated the fear I had that we may not be able to pay for future expenses tied to my husband's injury, especially if he ends up not being able to work as a high income earner due to follow-on medical impacts tied to his injury. I highly recommend them.

You never expect tragedy to strike your family. But one phone call away and that was where our family found itself. To walk into the emergency room and see your loved one lying there with a neck brace, IVs, and a seriously lacerated hand being stitched up, your world takes a turn you never wanted. My son was rear ended by a service truck, his vehicle hit so hard it propelled it into three parked cars. His neck and back were broken along with nerve damage to his right arm and hand.

I felt like we were entering a long dark tunnel of uncertainty as the process began of interviewing potential law firms. The first attorney showed up at the hospital, flashing his firm's card, and fast talking about getting back the money value of my son's totaled vehicle. As a family, we wanted more than the vehicle's value. We wanted a settlement for future unknown medical, for the possibility that he might never work again, and for the peace of mind that our loved one would be taken care of.

We wanted the toughest most successful law firm in California. My son's brother guided us to Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP because of their success history. With our first in-person meeting, I knew we were with the right firm. They were upfront and honest about the timeline and prepared us for the legal journey we would travel together with them as a team.

The firm provided medical specialist and expert witnesses that documented his injuries. They provided drivers when we needed them. When my son experienced episodes of sever anxiety and depression over what had happened to him, they made available a team of psychologists to help him. The head psychologist shared with me that in his experience, some law firms mainly focus on the money return and not their client's emotional concerns, while others focus just on compassion and don't meet the financial results needed. But Panish law focuses on both. And I found that to be true.

I am grateful for this whole team, from Trevor Weitzenberg who guided us along the way and prepared us for depositions, for John Shaller who oversaw the settlement structure. And for Paul Traina who brilliantly represented us in the depositions and again in the mediation, and obtained a huge settlement for my son.

As the mother of an injured son, I can honestly say that if you find yourself or your loved one injured, and if Panish | Shea | Ravipudi LLP represents you or your family, you will sleep better at night with the results.
