This guide profiles 10 personal injury lawyers and law firms serving Glendora and nearby San Gabriel Valley communities, including Azusa, San Dimas, Covina, West Covina, La Verne, and Pomona. Each firm was evaluated on how much of its practice is devoted to injury cases, the verdicts and settlements it publishes, its attorneys’ years on the plaintiff side, how close it is to Glendora, and how it handles communication and language access for clients and families.
When comparing options, ask three practical questions. First, does the firm try cases in Los Angeles County Superior Court, including the Pomona courthouses that hear many east San Gabriel Valley civil cases, or does it mainly settle? Second, will an attorney or a case manager be your main point of contact? Third, how does the firm handle medical liens and treatment for clients without health insurance? This is not a ranked or sponsored list. Firm details were drawn from each firm’s own website, the State Bar of California, attorney directories such as Avvo and Justia, and public business listings.

Belgum, Fry & Van Allen is headquartered on Route 66 in Glendora, which makes it one of the few firms on this list whose main office is in the city itself. Partners Garrett Fry and Brian Van Allen lead a practice that covers serious injury, elder abuse, and medical negligence, a combination that matters for families dealing with nursing home neglect or a missed diagnosis as well as a crash. The firm’s published results include a $4 million wrongful death recovery, a $3.15 million result for a failure to diagnose a stroke, a $2.25 million recovery for a pedestrian struck by a car, a $2.25 million construction injury case, and a $2.2 million motorcycle accident recovery.
The firm’s approach is hands-on. Experienced attorneys lead each case rather than passing it to a settlement mill, and reviews describe partners who answer their phones, explain each step, and hold out for full treatment before resolving a claim. One client described a six-car freeway collision caused by an uninsured, suspended driver, in which Garrett Fry recovered the client’s own uninsured motorist benefits and settled the medical claims quickly. Consultations are free, and cases are handled on contingency.
2. Law Offices of Christian J. Amendt
- Key Attorneys: Christian J. Amendt, Founding Attorney
- Headquarters: 363 S Park Ave, Suite 300, Pomona, CA 91766
- Phone: (909) 469-1000
- Website: amendtlaw.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Truck Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Product Liability, Premises Liability, Wrongful Death, Dog Bites
- Firm Size: Pomona-based personal injury practice; attorney practicing since 1989
- Practice Area Page: Pomona Personal Injury Lawyer
- Social & Professional Profiles: Facebook
Christian J. Amendt has represented injured people in the Inland Valley and eastern San Gabriel Valley since 1989, and his Pomona office is a short drive down the 57 or Foothill Boulevard from Glendora. The firm’s practice is limited to personal injury, and its published results include $500,000 in a motor vehicle case, $455,000 for an injured pedestrian, $450,000 in a personal injury case, and $430,000 in a product liability case.
Amendt is a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California, the Consumer Attorneys Association of Los Angeles, the American Association for Justice, and both the Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County bar associations. That two-county involvement is useful for Glendora residents, since crashes on the 210 or the 10 can just as easily happen across the San Bernardino County line. The firm offers free consultations and serves Spanish-speaking clients directly.
3. Hanning & Sacchetto, LLP
- Key Attorneys: Nathan Hanning, Founding Partner; Michael Sacchetto, Founding Partner
- Glendora Office: 333 W Foothill Blvd, Suite A, Glendora, CA 91741 (seven Southern California offices)
- Phone: (626) 869-2298
- Website: hanningsacchetto.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Bicycle Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites, Wrongful Death
- Firm Size: Multi-office Southern California personal injury firm
- Practice Area Page: Personal Injury Attorneys Glendora
- Social Profiles: Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn
Hanning & Sacchetto has a Glendora office on Foothill Boulevard, part of a network of seven offices across Southern California. Founders Nathan Hanning and Michael Sacchetto both worked as insurance defense lawyers before switching sides, so they know how adjusters and defense counsel value claims and where those valuations can be challenged.
The firm offers a fee reduction policy that lowers its percentage in qualifying cases, and consultations are free. Its Glendora listing has only a handful of Google reviews so far, so prospective clients may want to read reviews for the firm’s other offices as well.
4. Morales Law Firm
- Key Attorneys: Francisco J. Morales, Founding Attorney
- Headquarters: 151 W Bonita Ave, San Dimas, CA 91773
- Phone: (626) 998-3755
- Website: my1lawyer.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Rideshare Accidents, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites, Wrongful Death
- Firm Size: Solo personal injury practice; attorney licensed in California for about two years
- Practice Area Page: San Dimas Car Accident Lawyer
- Social Profiles: Not listed on the firm website
Francisco J. Morales, a Loyola Law School graduate, runs his injury practice from downtown San Dimas, about ten minutes from central Glendora. The firm’s model is built around accessibility: phones are answered 24/7, an attorney reviews every request rather than a screener, and Morales will meet injured clients at home or in the hospital. He speaks Spanish, and the firm works with lien-based medical providers so clients without health insurance can get treatment while their claims are pending.
Clients consistently describe Morales as responsive and patient, including people who switched to his firm after a previous attorney mishandled a case, and the firm holds a 5.0-star Google rating across more than 60 reviews. As a newer attorney, he has fewer years of published trial results than some firms on this list, which is worth weighing in a catastrophic injury case.
5. Muรฑoz & Muรฑoz Attorneys at Law
- Key Attorneys: Michael J. Muรฑoz, Partner; Ralph Muรฑoz, Partner; Juan Padilla; Ciprian Turcu
- Headquarters: 232 E Foothill Blvd, Suite 201, Azusa, CA 91702
- Phone: (626) 334-8405
- Website: munozandmunoz.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Hit and Run, Wrongful Death, Premises Liability, Criminal Defense
- Firm Size: Small family-run Azusa firm with four attorneys; founding partner admitted in 2009
- Practice Area Page: Personal Injury
- Social Profiles: Facebook | Instagram
Muรฑoz & Muรฑoz practices from Foothill Boulevard in Azusa, directly west of Glendora, which makes it one of the closest options for residents on the city’s west side. Michael J. Muรฑoz, a former Pac-10 running back at the University of Oregon, was admitted to the State Bar of California in 2009, and Ralph Muรฑoz was admitted in 2012. The firm reports a $10 million wrongful death result and handles both personal injury and criminal defense.
Clients often mention the firm’s Spanish-language service and its willingness to take over the insurance back-and-forth so injured people can focus on recovery. One reviewer described a bus hit-and-run claim resolved after the firm handled negotiations, repairs, and therapy scheduling, and another said a case was settled in about four months even though the at-fault driver carried only minimum insurance. The firm holds a 4.7-star Google rating across 50 reviews. Because it also runs a criminal defense practice, injury work is one of two core areas rather than its only focus.
6. Lem Garcia Law
- Key Attorneys: Lemuel “Lem” Garcia, Founder; Therese Garcia; Kristin Berk
- Headquarters: 1720 W Cameron Ave, Suite 210, West Covina, CA 91790 (additional offices in Cerritos and Oceanside)
- Phone: (626) 777-2211
- Website: lemgarcialaw.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Wrongful Death, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites

Lem Garcia, a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona and Western State College of Law, founded his West Covina firm to focus solely on injury victims. Its published results include an $8 million trucking recovery, a $3 million motorcycle wrongful death result, a $2.75 million car accident recovery, and a $1.75 million pedestrian case.
The firm makes two client-friendly promises that are uncommon: its fee will never exceed the client’s own recovery, and clients may cancel within 30 days at no cost. Case managers handle much of the day-to-day communication, and reviews regularly name specific staff members who kept clients updated and negotiated medical bill reductions before settlement. With a 4.9-star Google rating across more than 350 reviews, Lem Garcia Law has one of the largest bodies of client feedback among San Gabriel Valley injury firms.
7. Law Offices of Michael D. Payne
- Key Attorneys: Michael D. Payne, Founding Attorney
- Headquarters: 150 N Grand Ave, Suite 206, West Covina, CA 91791 (additional offices in Beverly Hills, Ontario, and Riverside)

Michael D. Payne earned his law degree at Pepperdine, has been licensed since 1992, and worked as a lawyer for an insurance company before turning to plaintiff work. He holds an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, is a member of the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, and has served as a judge pro tem. His headline results include a $6.85 million wrongful death and premises liability recovery and a $2.8 million recovery in a fatal crash in a freeway construction zone.
The firm keeps a limited caseload, answers calls 24/7, and serves Spanish-speaking clients. Its West Covina office is about 15 minutes from Glendora on the 210 and 605, and offices in Ontario and Riverside help when a crash happens in the Inland Empire.
8. Law Office of Timothy A. McDonough
- Key Attorneys: Timothy A. McDonough, Founding Attorney
- Headquarters: 112 Shoppers Ln, Covina, CA 91723
- Phone: (626) 974-8883
- Website: accidentattorneytim.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Truck Accidents, Pedestrian Injuries, Dog Bites
- Firm Size: Solo personal injury practice; attorney practicing since 1989
- Practice Area Page: Car Accident Injury Attorney
- Social Profiles: Facebook | X | LinkedIn
Tim McDonough, a Western State University College of Law graduate, has represented accident victims in the San Gabriel Valley for more than 30 years from his office in Covina, roughly ten minutes south of Glendora. His practice concentrates on vehicle collisions, motorcycle and truck crashes, pedestrian injuries, and dog bites.
McDonough’s biggest selling point is direct access. He answers his own phone and email, a point that comes up again and again in client reviews, and clients describe him setting up medical appointments with providers who see patients quickly, getting cars repaired, and handling billing. Some families have used him for multiple claims over many years. For clients who want one attorney handling everything rather than a large team, his practice is a strong local option.
9. Larry H. Parker Accident Attorneys
- Key Attorneys: Ron Beck, Managing Partner
- West Covina Office: 2820 E Garvey Ave S, West Covina, CA 91791 (offices throughout Southern California)
- Phone: (626) 602-2047
- Website: larryhparker.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Bus Accidents, Pedestrian Accidents, Wrongful Death, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites
- Firm Size: Large statewide personal injury firm founded 50 years ago; reports more than $2 billion recovered for 100,000+ clients
- Practice Area Page: California Car Accident Lawyers
- Social Profiles: Facebook | LinkedIn | X | YouTube | Instagram
Larry H. Parker, whose “We’ll Fight For You!” commercials became a fixture of Southern California television, built one of the region’s best-known injury firms over five decades. Founder Larry H. Parker died in 2024, and the firm continues under managing partner Ron Beck. It reports more than $2 billion recovered and more than 100,000 clients served, holds an AV rating, and has Spanish-speaking staff.
Scale is the firm’s main advantage. It has the resources to fund expert-heavy litigation against trucking companies and large insurers, and its West Covina office sits on Garvey Avenue next to the 10 freeway. The trade-off that comes with any high-volume firm is that clients may work mostly with case managers rather than a named partner, so ask at intake who will handle your file day to day.
10. Saleh Law Group
- Key Attorneys: Rony Saleh, Managing Partner; Ali Saleh, Managing Partner
- West Covina Office: 100 Barranca St, Suite 720, West Covina, CA 91791 (additional offices in Huntington Beach, Corona, and Chino)
- Phone: (909) 266-4807
- Website: salehlawgroup.com
- Practice Areas: Car Accidents, Truck Accidents, Motorcycle Accidents, Slip and Fall, Dog Bites, Wrongful Death
- Firm Size: Small multi-office personal injury firm; reports 10+ years in practice
- Practice Area Page: Practice Areas
- Social Profiles: YouTube
Saleh Law Group is run by brothers Rony and Ali Saleh, who have handled personal injury claims for more than ten years. The firm’s West Covina office in the Barranca Street towers is joined by offices in Huntington Beach, Corona, and Chino, which helps for Glendora residents whose crashes happen elsewhere in Southern California.
The firm is known for direct attorney contact. Reviews frequently note that clients speak with Rony or Ali Saleh themselves rather than being passed between staff, and the firm holds a 5.0-star Google rating across about 100 reviews. Its website does not yet publish detailed case results, so it is worth asking about comparable recoveries during a consultation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in California?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury under California Code of Civil Procedure ยง 335.1. Claims against a government entity, such as the City of Glendora, Los Angeles County, or Caltrans for a dangerous road, are much shorter: a written claim generally must be presented within six months under Government Code ยง 911.2. Missing that deadline can end the case before it starts.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
California follows pure comparative fault, adopted by the California Supreme Court in Li v. Yellow Cab Co. (1975). Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault but is not barred. If your damages are $100,000 and you are found 30% responsible, you can still recover $70,000. Insurers often argue for a higher fault percentage, which is one reason experienced firms such as Belgum, Fry & Van Allen gather evidence early.
Can I recover pain and suffering if I was driving without insurance?
Usually not. Under Proposition 213, codified at Civil Code ยง 3333.4, an uninsured driver generally cannot recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, though medical bills and lost wages can still be recovered. There is an exception when the at-fault driver was convicted of DUI for the crash. Uninsured passengers are not subject to the rule.
What insurance are California drivers required to carry?
Since January 1, 2025, California’s minimum liability coverage is $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident for bodily injury and $15,000 for property damage, up from the old 15/30/5 limits under SB 1107. Those limits are often exhausted quickly in a serious crash, so attorneys look for additional coverage, including your own uninsured and underinsured motorist policy.
Where will my Glendora injury lawsuit be filed?
Most Glendora injury cases are filed in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, and many east San Gabriel Valley civil cases are heard at the Pomona courthouses. A crash in Upland, Ontario, or elsewhere across the county line may belong in San Bernardino County Superior Court instead, which is why firms with offices in both counties, such as the Law Offices of Michael D. Payne, can be helpful.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Glendora?
Nearly all injury firms work on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fee unless money is recovered. Fees commonly range from 33% to 40% of the recovery, sometimes higher if the case goes to trial, and the percentage is set in a written agreement. Some firms offer extra protections: Lem Garcia Law says its fee will never exceed the client’s recovery, and Hanning & Sacchetto offers a fee reduction policy. Ask how case costs such as filing fees and expert witnesses are handled if the case is lost.
