Richard Belli

I was extremely impressed and pleased with the services of Thomas Forsyth. His knowledge of the law for bicycles really helped a great outcome. He was very professional, and his staff was awesome, walking me through each step, keeping me informed and the end result was a great settlement for me. Mr. Forsyth and his staff were very detail oriented in their investigation and the insurance company offered their policy limits. I would definitely recommend the firm to anyone. - Richard Belli

Douglas Smith

I was cycling down Venice Blvd. and was almost at the beach when a man opened his car door right as I cycled past and I bit the pavement really hard. I was pretty beaten up, bruised and shaken. My bike (a carbon Jamis) was equally bruised and shaken. I was smart enough to get a couple of pictures and the driver's info. I limped home, chatted with my wife, and I decided to research a bicycle attorney. There are a few online but believe or not I settled on Tom Forsyth because he had good reviews but more importantly (to me) he has a Scottish name, and I'm 100% Scottish. Sorted. Tom and Isabel were immediately calming and professional. They gave me great advice, never pressured me, and were super responsive, even to my sometimes stupid questions. They got me a really fair insurance payout from the driver's insurance, and they even got me a settlement for my bike. This is an unbiased piece of advice. If you were hurt while riding your bicycle, give these guys a call. God willing I'm not going to be involved in another bicycle accident ***knock-on-wood*** but if I am? I'm calling Tom and Isabel.

Dmitry Nikonov

It was a great experience working with Thomas Forsyth and Isabel, the bicycle attorneys. They were consistently accessible, which allowed me to resolve my case quickly and effectively. These two are not just excellent professionals but also genuine Californians. I can't express my gratitude enough. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Vash Stampede

Probably the best cycling lawyers out there, my experience was very good with them, they're very helpful and constantly gave me updates throughout my case, definitely recommend.

JM 1

Everyone at this law firm is kind, helpful and responsive. Mr. Forsyth secured for me maximum policy limit, and I had the personal injury check in hand before my 2nd doctors appointment. The world needs more people like this in the world to stand up for those who need it.
