I was injured in a bike accident. The driver was sitting in his car and opened his car door on me as I rode by. Ended up at the ER with 6 internal and 6 external stitches in my neck, an inch away from my carotid artery, a sore wrist which a MRI revealed to be a slight tendon tear and abrasions on my knee and hand, plus a sore shoulder. The driver's GEICO insurance tried to refute my claim saying I was 50% at fault for not looking to see if a driver was in the car. The police report said he was in violation since I had the right of way. I initially contacted a larger law firm I saw advertised on TV. They referred me to Braid. Braid was great. He told me these things might take a while, but to be patient. GEICO initially offered to only pay my medical expenses, then a little later expenses plus $7K. Braid advised me to wait because he was sure he could negotiate more. Eventually he negotiated a significant settlement, much more than I ever expected. The whole process took 7 months. I highly recommend him.

When you need a really good lawyer in a tough and complex traffic accident situation then I highly recommend Law Offices of Braid Pezzaglia. Before I chose Braid's office, I had done extensive research about legal firms specializing in motorcycle accidents in the San Jose and SF Bay Area locations. I shortlisted a handful of them and talked to them before I made my final decision. I am glad I chose the Law Offices of Braid Pezzaglia. Braid is a very sharp, extremely knowledgeable legal professional, can assess tough situations quickly, can call lies in an instant, has kept me sane and the other parties involved accountable. He is very responsive and even though he has many clients at a time he never failed to make me feel I am on top of his list. I highly recommend Braid and his office. A big THANK YOU Braid from me and my family

I found Braid through AVVO when my father found himself on the receiving end of an auto insurance claim. I consulted with several attorneys through AVVO, and he stood out as one of the few who was willing to take time to listen, advise, and offer actionable and detailed information even though I had not engaged his services yet. I sensed he was unpretentious yet extremely knowledgeable and had the patient disposition to work well with my elderly parents. I was not disappointed. Mr. Pezzaglia skillfully guided us (with me out-of-state) through the legal maze, thoroughly explaining our options and working with the insurance attorney behind-the-scenes to negotiate a reasonable settlement. It gave me great confidence to know my parents were receiving ethical and highly experienced professional assistance in their case. He responded to communications promptly, and his fees are quite reasonable. Without a doubt, he has my highest recommendation.

First, I’d like to thank Braid and his team for getting me a great settlement for my personal injury case. They made it very easy for me throughout the whole process always keeping me abreast of the updates in terms a normal person understands. They were aggressive in dealing with the insurance companies and maximized the settlement. Braid cam highly recommended and without a doubt I’d use him again.

When it comes to personal injury cases, Mr.Pezzaglia is simply the best - he has handled my car accident case very well, in which I was seriously injured. His motto is: 'No case is complicated.' He knows, what he's talking about - the other side of the lawyer, might as well give up. Mr.Pezzaglia will fight your case, like no other - and he'll negotiate a good settlement, as well. He filed for uninsured motorist claim against my own insurance as well. Even all the judges have more respect for him. His secretary Aida is a great help as well. I recommend him for personal injury cases to anyone, who's in need of one.

"WHY BRAID"? Was my first question. Allow me to explain. Braid is, if not, an angel sent to me from above. It was a "coincidence" to land him as my representative. *I CAN NOT explain the emotional distress of continuous emails, calls, texts, etc from other legal representatives - making me feel hounded!!!* (I realize their side, but come on! The hounding and inconsistent info is just a run around!!!) Braid's approach was opposite. He immediately approached me with the most welcoming and inviting tone (I was very emotional) but felt SAFE with him from the start - as he provided me ENDLESS information to help me, mind you, not call or hound me...just simply approaching me, like a FRIEND, stating facts about my case in which I was NULL TO THIS INFO! Braid, as I told you, you're an angel in my life for a reason. (Believe me, as a US CITIZEN, INNOCENTLY OWED TONS OF MONIES, I was so traumatized from the initial accident, not even focusing on my entitlement.) All the sudden this man (ALSO NOT focused on MONEY) - helped me throughout and steered me in the direction I didn't even think existed. **Take it from me, an innocent and extremely null to legal information about suing person, BRAID is hands down in it for everything on YOUR SIDE and MORE IMPORTANTLY, *YOUR RIGHTS!!*! My words will never express my ever-ending thankful little angel that God sent to me. Mr Braid. - (Yes I'm real lol, yes this info is 100% from a sarisfied Civalized Human Being, not a robot). LOL THANK U BRAID!!! - R.

When I was hit on my road bike by a truck, Braid Pezzagila helped me through the legal process. Though the accident had minor injuries and minimal damage to my personal property, my lawyer advised me to seek medical opinion, to file a police and DMV reports. I was very happy with his level of professionalism, expertise and honesty. I have recommended Braid Pezzagila to several of my family members and friends, who have used him as their personal lawyer. I will absolutely use him again in the future.

We had a hostile, out of control employee who was threatening me and my business partner, and attempting to take over a part of our small business. When we instead fired him, threats escalated to the point we were afraid for our lives. As employers and a low revenue business, we had a very hard time finding help - all public services we contacted were geared towards helping only employees, not employers, and we were continually dismissed. Police took information and did nothing. Mr. Braid Pezzaglia was highly recommended by a friend, and although this kind of situation was not what he normally does, he kindly agreed to consultation. He patiently listened to the entire story, asked many great questions, gave us guidance on how and what to document and pay attention to in case of a legal action, and the advice on how to respond to this person. He took into account our resources (or the lack of) when helping us decide on the course of action as well, and had never placed the financial considerations ahead of what was best for us. I was quite traumatized at the time and not always at my best, and Mr. Pezzaglia was very patient with my occasionally emotional responses, and able to steer me towards useful dialogue while making me feel better at the same time :-). With Mr. Pezzaglia's advice, we were able to eventually deescalate the situation and stop this crazy person from harassing and threatening us, and we never heard from him again (two years and counting now, keeping fingers crossed). If I, my family or my company ever need legal help again, he'll be the first person I contact - not just because he's so good at what he does, but also because he really cares for his clients.

My case was a very difficult case. He kept me in the loop and I knew what was going on. He got my case resolved and I was satisfied. I really trusted Braid he did a great job

I have had the pleasure of having Braid as my attorney for a car accident and currently a personal injury lawsuit. The car accident was handled professionally and quickly, settlement was more than I thought it would be. My current case is still in process, moving slower but believe personal injury suits take longer to gather all information and settle. I have complete faith and trust in Braid doing the best he can for me.
