Jae H. Gi, San Jose– Auto Accident

“When my father, age 71, was struck by a van in Palo Alto it did not take me long to find
out that Richard Alexander was the lawyer I wanted to take on a major company. My
father died from his injuries on June 15, 2005. Friends told it my case would take years.
I was fortunate to have Richard Alexander's personal counsel and with the defendants
facing an early trial I accepted a settlement offer on July 11, 2006. The defendants knew
our case was prepared to go to trial and that it would be tried by an outstanding trial
attorney. I strongly recommend Alexander, Hawes & Audet and give them my thanks
for their kindness, understanding, professional work and being my personal lawyers.”

Alan Taber, Morgan Hill – Motorcycle Accident

“I was driving back to work after lunch on my motorcycle when my life was changed by a driver making an illegal turn. I was referred to Richard Alexander and when I met him in my hospital room I did not realize how important it would be to have an experienced personal injury lawyer to provide me with personal legal care. During the first days of my hospitalization Dick warned me to carefully follow all medical advice because the fracture in my lower leg could result in a "non-union" which would require surgery. Unfortunately, Dick's prognosis was ignored by my doctors and only after I left the Kaiser system and was evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon outside of Kaiser did the MRI show a "classic non-union." I have had the surgery and have greatly improved. While I am pleased with the final recovery, I now understand how important it is to have a personal lawyer on your side. I was kept fully informed at every stage and that made a big difference to me, which I appreciated. Thanks to Alexander, Hawes & Audet for being there for me. They have my highest recommendation.”

Alida Hernandez, San Jose – Toxic Chemical Exposure

"When cancer struck me, I thought about all the women that I worked with who
had cancer, miscarriages and couldn't have children. I went to Alexander, Hawes &
Audet and found out I had been working with toxic chemicals that cause cancer. They
fought for me and hired a nationally recognized expert to conduct a scientific study of the
cancers suffered by my co-workers. I am proud the study is published and helping
others to recognize the dangers of working with chemicals. Alexander, Hawes & Audet
fought for all of us and I am very grateful that I found the "right" lawyers. They are
superb. “

Larry Kohler, San Diego – Anti-Trust

“As a top selling business lines agent for one of the largest insurance companies in America, I really didn't understand my legal rights when the company made the decision to terminate the contracts of all business lines agents, including myself. I spoke with a number of Lawyers working for some of the largest law firms, only to become more frustrated with their lack of understanding and knowledge, and it was obvious they were intimidated in the prospect of taking on such a large insurance company.

Then I met Richard Alexander. From our first meeting it was obvious that he clearly understood the law as it pertained to what this company was doing. He was not intimidated by their size and Mr. Alexander and his team quickly went to work on my behalf. During the litigation process I was continually impressed with the aggressive and quality representation Mr. Alexander and his team provided.

The outcome was an out of court confidential settlement that the insurance carrier agreed to just days before having to face Mr. Alexander in court. I highly recommend Mr. Alexander and his firm. Without his representation I could have easily ended up without a satisfactory settlement, as was the case for many of the agents who were not represented by him.”

Vasileios Makris, Athens, Greece – Auto Accident

“Coming to the California for a vacation and being hit by a truck, causing severe
fractures to my face, required the best medical and legal care my family could find for
me. Fortunately we found Richard Alexander who gained our confidence · With his
years of experience he explained how American law would protect me, but he did more.
He arranged for a top plastic surgeon at Stanford to reconstruct the fractures I had
suffered, even though my Greek insurance was not willing to pay the bill. All that
happened in August, 2006. In November, 2007 I returned for court proceedings and was
very happy to have my lawyer negotiate a settlement that was outstanding. Today I am
grateful that my face has healed without scars, that the American legal system protected
me and that I had a wonderful lawyer at my side to care for me. Thank you from the
bottom of my heart. Many thanks with my gratitude”

Bill Johansen, Morgan Hill – Construction Injury

“When I needed the best personal injury lawyer, I hired Richard Alexander, the perfect
choice when having the right lawyer can make all the difference in the world. Working
as a carpenter takes its toll over the years and then a crane operator allowed a gantry arm to swing into 120,000 volts causing a major explosion that threw me to the ground and caused serious injuries including my loss of balance that baffled the workers' comp
doctors that ended my work in construction. Alexander Hawes hired all the experts
needed to prove my case, including a rehabilitation expert, economist and California's
top ENT, a specialist in vertigo. Alexander is the best. Thanks.”
