Why Choose McGee, Lerer & Associates?

Big Firm Experience. Small Firm Focus.

This is a fair question and one that we actually invite. We believe that how our clients come to us speaks volumes about our law practice. Most of our clients come to us as the result of a referral. They have been referred by a prior client who was satisfied with our level of service and the end result. Or they have been referred by another attorney who values our personal injury expertise and trusts that we will do a good job for the client they are referring.

Before starting his own law firm, attorney Dan McGee worked for 16 years at one of California's leading personal injury law firms. He served as a partner, associate partner, and law firm manager. During his time there, the firm produced over $100,000,000 in verdicts and settlements for their clients. Attorney Catherine Lerer is well known for her representation of seriously injured victims. As an experienced mediator and litigator, she has successfully settled more than a thousand cases. If you are a victim of the negligence or carelessness of another, you will want an attorney with a proven track record of success to represent you.

We are members of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum and the Multi-Million Dollar Advocates Forum due to verdicts we have been able to receive for our clients. In order to join these groups, a firm has to recover million dollar and multi-million dollar settlements for injured victims, and we have done that.

The Personalized Service Our Clients Deserve

One of the reasons that we started our own firm was to deliver a high level of personalized service to the people that come to us for help. Dan or Catherine personally speak with each potential new client. If we take you on as a client, your case won't be passed off to legal assistants or junior firm attorneys. Attorneys Dan and Catherine will personally handle your case. Our team will do all that we can to reach the desired settlement for each of our clients and we have been successful.

One of our top priorities in representing our clients is making sure that they get the medical care needed to recover from their injuries. If our clients don't have health insurance, or have health insurance but can't afford the deductible and co-pays, we can refer our clients to a medical provider who will treat them on a "lien" basis. A lien means that the doctor agrees to wait for payment until the case is resolved.

We handle all cases on a contingency basis. This means that you don't pay us anything up front. Our fee is paid out of the verdict or settlement in your case. If we recover nothing for you, you pay us nothing.
