In my opinion, Bob McCulloch is the best plaintiff dental malpractice attorney in Southern California. He knows dentistry inside and out and is an extremely effective trial attorney.

As a defense counsel for over thirty years, I think I know how to take a pretty good deposition by this point. Unfortunately, Bob McCulloch makes me doubt how good I actually am. His ability to cross-examine health-care providers is, unfortunately, too good – from my stand point. I tell my clients that they cannot prepare too much for a cross-examination by Bob McCulloch, and they never seem to believe me until it is all over. Bob knows how to analyze his cases with a precision that is as good as it gets. He doesn’t mess around and waste time or money. He goes for the meat of the case and looks for the clean win. No wasted effort. Carriers know he only takes the winners, retains the best experts, and he somehow always manages to persuade the defendants most resistant to settlement that perhaps trial isn’t the best option after all. When it comes to settlement discussions, Bob knows how to evaluate the verdict potential and the settlement value better than anyone I know. As a result, you know there is no percentage in trying to dodge or duck; it’s best to deal straight-up and acknowledge the cards that are on the table. He is absolutely professional every step of the way, although I sometimes think he could resist smiling so damn much when he takes my money. After trying a jury trial with Bob, I can state he is “almost” as good as I am. I would never tell Bob he is just as good – I need that edge for the next time.

Barbara Maaskant
As a legal secretary working in Los Angeles, I have known Bob McCulloch for many years as a successful lawyer of outstanding ability, integrity and heart. When my sister approached me about making a Holocaust claim against the Federal Republic of Germany, I told her that reliving the nightmare we endured in the Nazi concentration camps would be too difficult for me to bear, unless Bob McCulloch would agree to represent us. Bob McCulloch specializes as a malpractice attorney, but I knew his intelligence, perseverance and humanity would succeed in pulling the loose threads of our childhood memories into a coherent narrative supported by historical evidence. Bob McCulloch is a good lawyer, but more importantly he is a faith filled person who cared about me and helped me to work through my difficult experience in the concentration camps. After the success of our claim, I knew I was in a better place to deal with these old nightmares and my story has been preserved for future generations to know the truth of "Never Again!" Bob McCulloch is a "righteous gentile" and I can give no higher praise than that.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support and expertise I received from Robert and his amazing assistant Deidre during my dental malpractice case. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make a very difficult situation manageable, and their kindness and professionalism truly made all the difference.

They took the time to explain the complexities of my case and answered all my questions promptly, no matter how big or small. I always felt like a priority, and their dedication to getting the best outcome for me was evident in everything they did.
In the end, Robert and Deidre achieved an outcome I honestly didn't think was possible, turning a nightmare into a win for justice. I am so grateful to them for their hard work, compassion, and tireless pursuit of the best possible resolution. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to move forward and finally receive the justice I deserved.

Good, honest, trustworthy, experienced, hard working attorneys.
Robert J. McCulloch and his long time assistant Deidre Taneman are a great team to have your back, they are honest, trustworthy and integrity is their nature. If you are lucky enough for them to take your case, you can sit back and not worry for a good and fair settlement in your favor, as they always win. They are very well known and respected by their peers and even their adversaries. I highly recommend them especially if you have a dental malpractice case, or any other medical malpractice case. They did a great job on my case and got me more money than I was anticipating. I would not hesitate to use them once again as I trust them implicitly. They won't sell you short as my previous experience has been with other law firms in the past forty years. They are well above five stars, as I consider myself lucky to have met them. My satisfaction is off the charts and five stars is too low for them, they deserve at least a thousand stars.
Consider yourself lucky by finding this review and even luckier if they take your case.

Mr. McCulloch was referred to me by a friend who is in the implant business who said he was the very best. I strongly agree - his communication skills are great, he is personable and informative, and he went above and beyond to get my son a great settlement on his malpractice suit. He has a vast knowledge of both law and dentistry. Dee was also extremely helpful, friendly, and informative and after my first conversation with her I felt immediately at ease. They are a wonderful team and I give them my highest recommendation.
