      Adrienne Cohn and Harvey L Ziff are the most amazing lawyers I have ever talked to. I came to them with a broken case that had already gotten destroyed by some other lawyers from Los Angeles. They would always kept me updated on any new information about my case. If you are looking for dedicated lawyers that will defend your case then call Harvey.

      I had very good results working with Harvey. My accident was a basic rear end with some minor injuries. Harvey's communication with me was great, responded to all of my emails and calls. He also had some creative suggestions for getting my claim payout increased. I'm happy with the result, thank you for your help!

      Mr. Ziff keeps finding a way to get my comments removed.
      For now, in my experience, I would say exercise caution when hiring Mr. Ziff.
      Like someone else mentioned here in the reviews, I too was yelled at, pressured to have surgery that it was not necessary to have in the timeline I was told re. the insurance claim.
      Somehow my settlement went from $20,000 to now $11,000+, for what?, submitting a few receipts? Mr. Ziff could have advised me that my car insurance only had a $20,000 limited coverage for getting hit as a pedestrian by an uninsured driver. In that case I would not have hired a lawyer that would take over 30%. Since then, Mr. Ziff knowing, as it has been explained to him, that I have lost thousands more than was allotted with the injury and the ultimately needless surgery I went through because of his "advice" and even still he felt justified taking so much, where is there any human compassion even?

      Mr. Harvey Ziff yelled at me when I came to investigate insurance for my wife. It's not a fake review. Sorry, Mr. Ziff. Because of that, we never collected. No one warrants a yell by an attorney, and my voice is quiet. He never charged us a dime, but I didn't want belittling by him. I asked a question or two. It was not 2005, but 2018, at your Los Altos branch. Your manager needs to be more appropriate in her response. Shunting valid hurts is not adequate.

      I found on Google search, his secretary or the person and answer the phone are so nice and helpful. She listen to me what I have to explain about my car accident on freeway. I only speak to her one time, so I don't know her name. After she hear what I have explained, first she asked me my phone number incase we get disconnected. Then she put me on hold and she have a lawyer talk to Mr right away. That's attorney Harvey Ziff. The secretary and Attorney Harvey Ziff know this is a serious accident. He wait no time to help me. He even referred me to nice chiropractor. Dr Rita Singh office (her staffs and her are very nice and care for the patient.
      Alots people(like friends, workers other people want to know does this lawyer call , concern about you and check on you

      The answe is yes. He make sure the care providers take good care of me.
      Does he tell you about the settlement?
      Of course they will tell you about the settlement , after they find out how will be.
      But point is he concern for his client that what count too.
      PS This is first time I have 2 cars hit me on the freeway. Thanks you attorney Harvey Ziff for your hard work by helping me. Understand about the accident

      I submitted a consult request form and received a callback within hours. Harvey also reached out to me via email to ensure I received his communication.

      When I'd contacted him, I was in the finalization stages of my settlement negotiation and getting ready to sign a release of liability. I was surprised at being offered a settlement above treatment reimbursement and--realizing I was green--came to the conclusion that it would behoove me to seek outside advice.

      Though this wasn't ultimately a case that required an attorney, Harvey still took the time to give me a free consultation, during which he addressed my concerns and answered my questions.

      After we talked, Harvey advised me to negotiate for a higher settlement, which I did. He also provided me with some follow-up support via email as another question arose. And he was interested to know how things turned out.

      In the end, I decided to take a risk and go above his recommended ask, which I ended up receiving. While I can't guarantee those results for anyone else, I can say that it would not have been possible without Harvey's generosity of time and expertise.

      In 2018 my car was t-boned by a driver running a red light. Subsequently, I had back surgery. Several attorneys turned down my case. For this I'm thankful because that's how I found Harvey Ziff . He immediately took charge and told me what info he needed. He got a quick settlement from the other driver's insurance company for the maximum they insured. Not being satisfied, Harvey turned his attention to my insurance company for "underinsured driver" coverage. His aggressive but polite pressure on them resulted in a very satisfactory final settlement in a short time. I could not recommend Ziff & Cohn more highly.

      With Harvey Ziff you are in very good hands. He is very organized, patient, walks you through everything, straight to the point and makes sure you understand what's going on. I was very lucky to be his client and his doctors helped me recover after a car accident. He right away collected all witnesses statements and coordinated the process. I felt safe and he really cared about my health. I can't express how hard it was in the beginning to deal with all of that alone, he is my hero.

      Harvey took great care of my grandmother's personal injury case! She was on a walk when she got jumped at by a dog, and Harvey took the case when everyone else refused. He was very diligent and persistent in getting insurance to accept liability, got us a great settlement, and took a very reasonable cut. He was also great at staying in contact and answering all our questions within a timely manner. I highly recommend him!
