Catherine Anne Lerer

I am posting this for my mother, who was hit be a left turning car while crossing the street in downtown Long Beach. She broke her hip and had to have surgery. She will be recuperating from this injury for a long time. We thought we wouldn’t need to hire her an attorney because it was obvious this guy was at fault. But the insurance company was impossible to deal with. They kept calling my mom and asking her to give a statement and to sign documents for them. We didn’t trust them. That’s when we called the lawyer. Catherine and Dan got on the phone right away and answered all of our questions. They made us feel instantly comfortable and confident that they were the right lawyers for my mom. We met with them the next day and hired the firm. The lawyers did an excellent job for my mom. Thank you attorneys Dan and Catherine. – Posted on behalf of A.Juarez

I hired this firm after I kept getting delays and the runaround from the insurance company. I needed medical treatment and the insurance company provided no assistance whatsoever. This law farm was great. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They were professional, proactive, kept me informed, and always got back to me. A++.

Ms. Lerer is a wonderful, caring, understanding, compassionate, professional human being. She takes the time to listen to all your concerns and she answers all you questions. Every time I call her office for status, either her or her staff are fully aware of the details to my case. Someone will always help! I full heartedly recommended Ms. Lerer to all my family and friends.

Our accident happened on a Sunday. I had never been in a accident before and did not know what to do. We called Catherine’s office thinking no one would answer (Sunday evening), but she did! She answered our million questions. Reyna, her assistant kept us updated and would call to check on us. They also helped us with our vehicle claim and personal items that we lost during this accident. They really do go above and beyond for their clients.

Great service, great response time, and available even on weekends. All around great attorney services. Will definitely recommend to family and friends.

My boyfriend hired this law firm after he got into a motorcycle accident. A driver turned left right in front of him at an intersection. The adjuster at the insurance company never returned our calls, and wouldn’t even pay him for his wrecked motorcycle. My boyfriend wasn’t going to go the lawyer route, but had no choice. I wish he had called McGee and Lerer right away. They handled everything – got him paid on his motorcycle right away and also got him money for the time he didn’t have a motorcycle. Very nice staff at the firm. We were always able to reach someone. Always got answers to our questions. This is the firm to hire.

The insurance claims adjuster wouldn’t help me with getting medical treatment after a motorcycle accident. It seemed like I was just getting the runaround. I have health insurance, but couldn’t afford the deductible or copayments. After calling Mr. McGee, he arranged for me to see a doctor the next day. I injured my ankle and needed a CAM walking boot (not cheap). The lawyer took care of getting that on a lien too. Everything changed after I hired the law firm. I was no longer in the dark, waiting for answers from an insurance company that never called me back. I had instant relief knowing that things were moving forward and I would be paid for my losses. You should hire this firm without hesitation.

Dan and Catherine are a fantastic lawyer team. I had a car accident in the past, and the lawyer who represented me on that first accident was nothing like this firm. What I liked: (1) They listened. (2) They cared. (3) They explained how everything worked and they updated me. (4) They fought hard for me. (5) I was always able to get them on the phone and they responded to my emails. (6) They were clear with me about how I could help them by providing documentation they needed. (7) They got me almost four times more money than the insurance company had offered me before I hired an attorney.

I can highly recommend this personal injury law firm. When I first called them, I wasn’t sure I needed a lawyer to represent me. I was worried how much I would have to pay, and that it would end up costing me more than it would benefit me. I was totally wrong. Attorneys Dan and Catherine explained that they would get paid when the case settled, out of the settlement. So I didn’t have to pay anything up front to hire them. Their firm was very professional. Very knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable with them, trusted their advice, and was very happy with the outcome of my accident claim.

We were rear-ended by a drunk driver. I thought we wouldn’t need an accident lawyer. The other driver’s insurance company accepted fault right off the bat. But problems arose pretty quickly. I wanted by car totaled out. The insurance company claimed it was repairable. And I couldn’t get return calls from them. So we finally hired a law firm. We chose this firm after interviewing a few. We felt most comfortable with Dan and Catherine. They answered all of our questions and were very clear and thorough in what to expect, They are clearly very experienced. We made the right decision. We were very happy with how our case was handled and with the settlement. We have already recommended them many times.

I was rearended by a drunk driver who should have had his license taken away years ago. But it wasn’t. And on a Sunday morning – Whammo! He slammed into the back of my car, and I spent the next 10 hours in an emergency room. The lawyers at McGee & Lerer were THE BEST! They took my call that day, a Sunday, and met with me the next day. They referred me to a doctor, they arranged for a rental car immediately. All kinds of problems as a result of the accident, that I had no idea how to handle, and the attorneys took care of everything. Terrific law firm.

Our daughter and her grandmother were hit by a car while crossing the street. It was horrible. The driver’s insurance company kept calling and we didn’t know what to do. Should we talk to them? Should we not? Do we need a lawyer? Another parent at our daughter’s school recommended that I call McGee Lerer. So glad I did. My husband and I trusted attorneys Catherine and Dan completely from our very first meeting. They handled everything. I could always reach them and get my questions (I had a lot!) answered. “Compassionate but aggressive” – that’s how I would describe them. And that was exactly what our family needed. A huge thank you to the McGee & Lerer Law Firm.

Prompt, responsive, professional, explained everything very clearly, and most importantly, I was very happy with the settlement. I would not hesitate to use these personal injury lawyers again if I get into another car accident.

My lawyers for life. They did such a great job on my bike accident. No other law firm would take my case because the police report put me at fault. But the officer got it wrong, and none of the other lawyers would look beyond that report. Dan and Catherine went to the scene immediately after I called them. They INVESTIGATED – which no other law firm would do. They believed my story and they fought for me and thank god they did. I got a very good settlement.
