"Although I now reside in Nevada, the Choulos Group did not forsake me after leaving the bay area. James and Victor are warriors who stood by me for almost three years as they move forward to resolve my case. Although the journey was a long and painful one, these two young-men fought the good fight, for me, and never once negated the charge that I requested of them. They called long distance to keep me apprised of the progress being made, even thou at times it appeared as if they were in Paris or Brazil vacationing(just a little humor). These two professionals are good, and I do mean good at what they do. Retain them if you are in need of professional law attorneys to assist you in your accident case. They are at the top of the class."

Luckily I was referred to The Choulos & Tsoi Law Firm and could not be more happy with the work they put into my case. The time and effort they put in far surpassed my expectations and to be honest because of my physical, financial, and emotional state after the accident I was not the easiest person to work with.

I would highly recommend James Choulos to anyone needing legal help. Thank James!"
Dago O.

"I am so happy to work with Victor and James for my accident. I was hit by a car when I was riding a bike. I didn't call 911 since I don't want to make the driver a big increase in his next year's insurance(I thought ambulance was expensive ). However, the driver's insurance company commit 50% liability and asked me so many documents. I felt annoying and a friend recommend James and Victor worked for my case. They freed me from so many documents things and also got the insurance committed 100% liability. I believed they worked hard on this since I didn't have any prove although it was true. Thanks very much for Victor's hard work. I'd like to recommend to anyone who needs lawyer's help."
Erica S.

"Well, where do I begin. I was in a very bad car accident and was unsure what to do. a co-worker had been in a minor accident and said that she knew a guy. This guy just happened to be James Choulos. I was in between insurance companies at the time. James was able to get the doctors to look at me on a lien. The whole time James kept me in the loop about what was going on and even set up all the doctors appointments for me. WOW!!!!! I never thought I would have an enjoyable experience dealing with this whole issue but James and his team made it so. Thanks James."
James F.

"I have been working with James and his team since 2011 on the various cases I have had and and never once has he let us down. James has never lost any case for us and always trying to find the right support for his clients when it comes to medical needs. I have been so pleased with his Excellent Customer Service and know I can count on him. I have referred James all my friends and family that have needed some legal guidance and all have nothing but Good Things to Say about James. Keep up the good work!!!!!"
