Yan E. Shrayberman: Hi, I'm Yan Shrayberman, founder of Crown Law Firm here in Fresno, California. I want to take a few minutes to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about how I approach representing clients — because choosing the right attorney may be the most important decision you make.
I've been a criminal defense and family law attorney for over ten years. I'm licensed in California, Washington, and Florida, and I focus my practice here in Fresno and throughout the Central Valley. I was named a Super Lawyer every year from 2020 through 2026, which I'm proud of — but what matters most to me is what happens in the courtroom and at the negotiating table for my clients.
On the criminal defense side, I handle everything from DUI charges and drug crimes to violent felonies, federal cases, and white-collar matters. Every case is different. A first-time DUI for a college student carries different stakes than a federal firearm charge for someone with a prior record. I take the time to understand exactly where you are, what the government's case looks like, and where the weaknesses are — then I build a strategy around that.
On the family law side, I represent clients in divorce, child custody, child support, spousal support, and property division cases. Family law cases are emotionally difficult. I've seen what happens when attorneys fan the flames just to generate more billing hours. That's not how I operate. I fight hard for your interests, but I also give you honest advice about when it makes sense to reach an agreement and when it makes sense to go to court.
One thing I want to be clear about: I'm the attorney who will actually be working on your case. You won't be handed off to a paralegal or a junior associate. When you call our office, you talk to me. When we go to court, I'm there with you.
If you or someone you love has been arrested, charged, or is facing a difficult family law situation, I encourage you to call us right away. The earlier we get involved, the more options we have. Our first consultation is free. You can reach me directly at (559) 779-2315.
I look forward to meeting you and finding out how Crown Law Firm can help protect what matters most to you.
Why Choose Crown Law Firm for Car Accident Attorney in Fresno
Hit-and-run accidents in Fresno leave victims feeling helpless, but you still have options. Your own uninsured motorist coverage may provide compensation, and law enforcement in Fresno County may identify the at-fault driver. Crown Law Firm explores every avenue of recovery available to hit-and-run victims.
Understanding Car Accident Attorney in Fresno County
Rear-end collisions on Fresno roads frequently result in whiplash, back injuries, and concussions. Insurance companies often try to minimize these injuries, but soft tissue damage can have lasting effects on your health. Our attorneys fight to ensure your injuries are taken seriously and fully compensated.
Car Accident Attorney Representation for Fresno Residents
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in Fresno and across Fresno County. The region's highways, including Highway 99 and Highway 41, see heavy traffic daily, increasing the risk of collisions caused by speeding, distracted driving, and impaired motorists. Crown Law Firm has extensive experience handling auto accident cases throughout the Central Valley.
Local Claims Process for Fresno Cases
After an accident in Fresno, the claims process typically begins with notifying the at-fault party's insurance company. The insurer assigns an adjuster who investigates the claim, reviews medical records, and attempts to negotiate a settlement. Having an experienced attorney managing this process from the start ensures your rights are protected throughout.
Personal injury cases in Fresno County are filed at the Fresno County Superior Court if a lawsuit becomes necessary. While most cases settle before trial, Crown Law Firm prepares every case as if it will go to court, which strengthens our negotiating position with insurance companies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Attorney in Fresno
Can I file a personal injury claim for a workplace accident in Fresno?
Workplace injuries in Fresno are typically covered by workers' compensation. However, if a third party — such as a product manufacturer or negligent driver — contributed to your injury, you may also have a personal injury claim in addition to workers' compensation benefits. An attorney can evaluate both options.
Can I sue a government entity for my injury in Fresno County?
Yes, you can file a claim against a government entity in Fresno County if their negligence caused your injury — for example, a dangerous road condition or defective public property. However, claims against government agencies have strict deadlines and special procedures. You must file an administrative claim within six months of the incident.
Do I have to pay medical bills out of pocket while my case is pending in Fresno County?
If you don't have health insurance or your bills are mounting, Crown Law Firm can help connect you with medical providers in Fresno County who will treat you on a lien basis — meaning they agree to wait for payment until your case is resolved. This ensures you get the treatment you need without worrying about upfront costs.
What is the difference between a personal injury claim and a lawsuit in Fresno?
A personal injury claim in Fresno begins as a demand to the at-fault party's insurance company and often resolves through negotiation. A lawsuit is filed in Fresno County Superior Court when negotiations fail to produce fair compensation. Most cases settle before trial, but filing a lawsuit demonstrates your willingness to fight for full value.
Can I still file a claim if the accident happened weeks ago in Fresno?
Yes, you can still file a personal injury claim even if weeks or months have passed since the accident. However, acting sooner is always better — evidence can disappear, witnesses' memories fade, and medical records become harder to connect to the accident. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
