Excellent professional detail service from beginning to the end. The process was explained to us by Roy and his staff in detail. I was given a updates every month and the process was very smooth. Never had to wait for someone to pick up the phone or “Get back to me.” I recommend this firm for all your needs. Mark C.

Roy and his staff handled my parents’ estate. They were very thorough and professional. Their guidance, kindness and patience were a great help during this difficult time. Crista. B.

Roy, Susan, Matt & staff have delivered great results for me in two separate automobile personal injury matters. [...] J&J scrutinized case details that other lawyers had missed or wrongly deemed inconsequential that ultimately led settlement amounts more than double what was initially offered. You owe it to yourself to contact them for a consult first if your current lawyer is advising a quick settlement. C. Crespo

The entire process was made as simple as possible for me by Eric. I felt I was in good hands. Each step of my legal journey was explained to me clearly by Eric. He always took my phone calls and made me fell like I was an important client of his. Could not ask for more. Michele. P.

I bought a new house and had Roy do my two closings. Both were done in the same day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon. Everything went smooth. Can't say enough nice things about Roy and his staff. Plenty of correspondence back and forth and all was done without any problems. Highly recommend Jaghab, Jaghab & Jaghab. Evan B.

I recently closed on my home, and Roy made the process as easy as possible. They kept me informed and provided me with updates along the way. I cannot recommend them enough! Jaime P.

Definitely who you want to choose for a personal injury case no matter what it is very professional and I was handled like family very informative throughout the whole process Mr. Roy is the man I couldn’t ask for more! Mustafa A.

Roy is the best - was technically sound and extremely hard working. Had a great experience with the entire firm. Highly Recommend! Corey B.
