What this firm has earned Every one from a measured value, with the evidence behind it
LFL Certified 2026
Scored 77 out of 100 on measured evidence, above the 70 this tier requires, with every eligibility gate its state allows us to check cleared.
No public discipline
No named attorney carries a disbarment, a suspension or a disciplinary resignation on the State Bar of California's record, across the 5 we identified. Administrative suspensions, which the State Bar states are non-disciplinary, are not counted here. The State Bar's record for Robert May carries an earlier entry, which is not outstanding against the licence today and is published in full at https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/attorney/Licensee/Detail/250968
727 client reviews
Counted across 8 verified Google Business Profile listings, not collected by us and not solicited through us.
4.98 average over 727 reviews
A high rating is easy at low volume and hard to hold at this one. Pillar C scores it against the market rather than against five stars.
Service in Spanish
Published by the firm on its own pages, which is how this was measured rather than assumed from a name.
10 results published
Across 6 case types on the firm's own site. We read the page and counted what is on it; the amounts are the firm's and we have not confirmed them.

Frequently asked questions
How much does The May Firm charge?
The May Firm publishes a contingency fee, which means the fee is a share of what the case recovers and there is nothing to pay if it recovers nothing. The rate itself is not published, so ask for it in writing, along with how case expenses are handled and whether they come out of the recovery before or after the fee. The first consultation is free, which is the place to ask.
Does The May Firm offer a free consultation?
Yes. The May Firm publishes a free initial consultation. The intake line is published as open around the clock, the firm states it will visit clients in hospital or at home and it publishes material in Spanish.
Where does The May Firm have offices?
The May Firm publishes eight offices, among them Fresno, Long Beach, Bakersfield and Chula Vista. Addresses and the Google listing behind each one are on this profile under Offices.
Who are the attorneys at The May Firm?
The May Firm names 14 attorneys on its own site, and each is listed on this profile with the page we read them from. They have not been checked against a state register: California does not publish an attorney register we can query, so licensure is not verified here. The state's own attorney search is the place to check it.
Are the case results The May Firm publishes verified?
No. The May Firm publishes ten case results with amounts on its own site. We counted them and we did not confirm them: the figures are the firm's. Pillar B scores whether a firm publishes outcomes and discloses them properly, including whether a prior-results disclaimer appears beside them, not whether the amounts are right. Past results do not predict another case.
What has Law Firm Listings verified about The May Firm?
The May Firm scores 77 and sits at Certified. Passed: website and footprint. Could not be answered from any public source and therefore counts neither for nor against the firm: licensure, discipline and entity registration. Every row of the scorecard above names where the value came from and when it was read. Nothing on this profile was supplied by the firm for payment, and no placement here can be bought.
