WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I would highly recommend anyone to Franco Munoz law firm. No matter how small your injury! I was injured at work! I called around for a workers compensation lawyer and no one would take my case! I called Franco Munoz and they returned my call right away after I explained about my injuries. They took my case and were able to get me the best doctors for my treatment and later settled the case for 5 times the original offer from the insurance!! I would highly recommend Franco Munoz's office . All the staff were professional throughout my treatment to the close of my case.
– Chacha K
I want to 100% recommend Franco Munoz as a Worker’s Compensation (WC) lawyer. I was lucky enough to have them as my WC lawyer. I had spoken to several other worker compensation lawyers before meeting with Franco Munoz. Unlike the other lawyers, I found Franco Munoz very easy to talk with right from the start. They understood what had happened to me with my work situation and showed compassion at my plight. What really impressed me was how well Franco Munoz represented me when dealing with the opposing counsel. They did an excellent job in advocating for my needs and I was very happy with the outcome of the case. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience in working with Franco Munoz. I encourage others to contact him for a free consultation.

Attorney Steve Franco and his team handled my husband's case and I saw how he navigated the process. He was able to get a good monetary settlement in less than a year. We are very satisfied with his work and I recommend him and the other lawyers who also helped us. God bless them with their wisdom!
