Life-Changing Results After a Devastating Head-On Collision
I cannot thank John Yamane and Jaime Grimm enough for how they handled our case. My wife and I were hit head-on by a drunk, unlicensed driver in an unregistered vehicle who drove directly into our lane. It was a terrifying experience that changed our lives. My wife suffered life-altering injuries that required two bolts in her pelvis, hip-to-hip, and she still struggles with her movement today. I also suffered multiple injuries.
In the midst of this trauma, John Yamane and Jaime Grimm were our champions. John Yamane fought tirelessly to secure the maximum settlement amount for my wife and a significant amount for me. These funds will be vital as we navigate our recovery and move forward. Beyond the settlement, John and Jaime performed a miracle with our finances by getting our medical bills reduced by a staggering 97%.
Throughout the entire legal process, Jaime kept us updated and informed. We never felt left in the dark because John Yamane and Jaime prioritized communication and transparency while we focused on healing.
If you are looking for a firm that has the heart to care for your family and the skill to take on the toughest cases, I highly recommend John Yamane and his team.
Thank you, John and Jaime, for giving us hope for the future.

My wife and I were the victims of a head on crash in June 2025. We were hit by an unconscious driver and my wife was severely injured. We hired Michael Cruise and his team to help us, they have been battling for us every since! Michael and his team are very caring, wonderful people and I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to have someone on their side! It was and is a devastating life changing event for us and we couldn’t do it without them.
On 8-28-2025, l was hit by a car that was making a left turn. I was in the crosswalk, riding my handicapped scooter when I was struck by the car. I was then hospitalized at Queens for 1 week and then spent another 2 weeks in Rehab of the Pacific. After being discharged, additional treatment had to be completed. The injuries suffered were extensive. The driver only had minimal limits on the car which was not sufficient to compensate me for the injuries that I suffered.
Although I was considered a pedestrian,
