San Diego Personal Injury Testimonials

"...Mark came and met me, and I could tell that Mark was very competent and confident. He had a very calm and comforting approach to him. ...he is a really good human being. If Google and Yelp would have allowed more stars I would have given him more stars."

"...I could not take it anymore, so I just reached out and found Mark, and he came out and met me the very next day. It was a very fast response. He knew what he was going to do...he was like, 'well we are going to go to their insurance first since it was this guy's fault, and then, do you have under-insured motorist?' He almost had the case settled on our initial meeting. The attention to detail, his responsiveness, the over-all outcome of the case, and the settlement that I received speak volumns to Mark's abilities as a lawyer."

"...In my situation I knew I had to get a lawyer because I was injured...so that is why I contacted Mark. Right away, the next day or so, he met up with me and got the work started. I was still bruised, scarred, and I had stitches. He was really sympathetic, nice, and caring. He was always in contact with me. And, when I would call him to check the status of the case, he would answer my calls or get back to me. He was very professional about it. He was always there when I needed him. Mark is the best."

"...Mark is great. He is a good lawyer, and he is even a better person. He is aware of other peoples’ feelings, and he is aware of what is going on with other people. My rule of thumb is that I have to believe I can tell another person’s story in the way it ought to be told. Mark has that same philosophy as I do. He was very helpful to me throughout the case, and he made sure that this case was well under control. I think I bring a lot to the table with my trial skills, and abilities. Mark and I complimented each other very very well."

"...He’s (Mark) a nice guy…honest…ethical…great results, (really) GREAT results, as a matter of fact, I would say when dealing with the client, he is more humbled by the situation and he is there to help that client first. And they tell us how wonderful of a relationship they have with Mark and his office. Well, that is why we use Mark because he reflects very well the quality of work that we do. He is very cordial…very personal…I highly recommend that he be a part of any workers compensation support team.”

"...With Mark, it is easy to understand what he is saying. He can tell people this is what you should expect, and explain to them in a very simple way to where they can understand and they can comprehend. Mark diffuses the fear that most people have when they have a legal problem…you calm down, and you can relax, and you can move forward. Mark is a honest person. He has integrity. He will help people with any problem that they present to him. It is nice to go to someone who will be there for you to help you, and Mark is that person.”

"...Knowing Mark he is unique because he writes books, he has put out videos…with clients, it is an education as you are not only educating them about the law, but you are educating them about the process. I have learned over the years that he is a top attorney, he knows the law in and out. My clients come back to me and they tell me that he has done an excellent job and thank you for the referral. A happy client is what I want.”

"...Mark speaks very good Spanish, and his website also has very good information in Spanish, and he is extremely responsible…he calls people back immediately…he responds to emails right away…he pretty much gives his cell phone number to everybody. Mark is very professional and very responsive, and knowledgeable attorney, handles the cases properly and he knows the law very well, and knows what angles to use to help our clients as a result."

"...Mark has the same values as we do, and the client benefits by having a very competent, a very zealous attorney for their case. Mark has been excellent with my clients. I like having that relationship with him, and like I said, I have always had clients who come back to me and were very thankful that I was able to put them into contact with someone like Mark."

"...Mark made sure my mom and dad had no bills, he dealt with the insurance company, he dealt with the bill collectors, he dealt with all of it. He got mom and dad enough to take care of them for the rest of their lives. People need an honest lawyer; people need a man who has integrity, and who has compassion, and who is honorable. I could not ask for a better lawyer."

"Dear Mark, I just wanted to say thanks. I am glad it is over [smilely face] and you did a great job for me." Beth Wentzel [former pedestrian client] November 2011 El Cajon, California

This testimonial of my Doctor Book, "How to Document Your Patient's Personal Injury Case from A-Z comes form Dr. Shook in North Carolina:

Dr. Michael McCaleb DC reviews Mark Blanes personal injury book for doctors:

“I worked with attorney Mark Blane on a complex personal injury litigation matter. We each represented plaintiffs in litigation against a negligent defendant. Proving liability on these set of facts was tough and Mark demonstrated superior litigation skills in putting forth the strongest case possible....

Mr. Blane helped my family in our legal case; we were being wrongfully pursued by a bank that attached false debt to our credit. This resulted in us having damages to our credit. Mr. Blane was able to remove the issue with the bank, and forced them to settle our case to make up for our credit damages.

Mr. Blane came through for me when others did not. He was very easy to talk to and work with throughout my legal case. I had some serious problems that needed immediate attention; bills were mounting, and I had a wrecked vehicle and an aggressive insurance company to deal with. I had no knowledge of the legal system or how to respond to demands, and denials of my case.

"Thank you very much for being my personal injury attorneys in the Fen-Phen case. As my health declined , both of you took a keen interest in examining the facts present to determine that a personal injury had taken place..."M. Capps-Connor

Both of you displayed an exceptional level of expertise and professionalism in managing this proceeding. I truly appreciated your efforts to minimize the uncomfortable and intrusive nature of such a hearing. All along the way, you kept me abreast of each step in the process, returned my phone calls promptly and made certain that all filings and deadlines were met. Both of you are to be commended for your efforts on my behalf during what was a most delicate time in my life. Thank you once again. Sincerely, John R. Connor
