Fraud

Mr Hariri is smart and aggressive. He fought for our lemon Land Rover and we won the case, getting back more than we paid. His office had good communication with us and I was really impressed with his depth of knowledge of lemon law and negotiating the settlement.

From the outset, finding a legal professional who not only possesses the acumen to navigate complex legal challenges but also a genuine concern for their clients’ well-being can seem unheard of. However, my experience with HKM particularly with Cecilia Brennan, transformed my perception into one of profound gratitude and respect. My journey to Cecilia was guided by high praise from friends who highlighted her passion for justice and her deep-rooted care for the community. Meeting Cecilia, these words came to life; she shared a clear sense of commitment and understanding, echoing the very sentiments my friends admired. Cecilia’s willingness to help me, after a thorough and empathetic understanding of the details I shared, was the first step in what would become a deeply reassuring professional relationship. Cecilia’s approach was nothing short of exemplary. Her promptness and professionalism were consistent from our initial call through to the end. Each question I posed and every email I sent was met with responses that were not only timely but had strategic insight and clarity. Her expertise was evident in her sharp analytical skills, her extensive knowledge base, and the valuable relationships she leveraged to navigate my situation. Perhaps what sets Cecilia and HKM apart is their ability to humanize the legal process. For anyone facing legal challenges, I cannot recommend Cecilia Brennan and HKM enough.

I had the privilege of working with Areeg Akel during one of the most challenging periods of my life, and I can confidently say that she is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked into her office, I knew I was in capable hands. Areeg possesses a rare combination of legal prowess and genuine kindness that immediately puts her clients at ease. She doesn't just see you as another case file; she takes the time to truly understand your situation and your needs. Her ability to empathize with her clients sets her apart in a field where compassion can sometimes be scarce. What struck me most about Areeg is her remarkable outlook on the world. Despite dealing with difficult legal matters on a daily basis, she maintains an unwavering optimism that is contagious. She not only provided expert legal guidance but also offered invaluable emotional support, giving me the strength and confidence I needed to navigate through tough times. Thanks to Areeg's expertise and dedication, I was able to remake myself without losing everything. Her strategic approach and unwavering commitment to her clients ensured that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. In my opinion, Areeg Akel is the epitome of what a lawyer should be. Her exceptional skills, coupled with her compassionate nature, make her the best there is in San Diego. I feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. If you're in need of legal assistance, look no further than Areeg Akel. She is a true gem in the legal profession

I can't recommend Hariri Law Group enough. From the moment I reached out for help with my injury case, I could tell they genuinely cared and they jumped right in to take over for me. The last thing I wanted to worry about was dealing with the insurance companies and the other side's lawyer and I was very impressed how easy it was. Ramin not only secured an amazing settlement for me but he also made the process super smooth where I felt like I didn't have to do anything but focus on my recovery. The #1 reason I'm happy I chose Ramin is because I never felt like just another client. I know he has a busy schedule yet he made me feel like my case was of utmost importance. I don't normally write reviews but I think others should know how great my experience was so they can team up with Ramin if they're going through legal issues. Thank you Ramin!! 10/10 would recommend!

Sounds knowledgeable at first but gave 2 very poor advices, which would’ve complicated the case tremendously with increase chance of losing. While working with him do your homework. Glad that didn’t hire him.

Cecilia Brennan's expertise and knowledge of employment law is of the highest standard. Her paralegal, Gloria Casillas' empathy and professionalism was outstanding throughout. Cecilia is diligent and shared the intricate aspects of my case with me. They guided me through and explained the law and were always responsive. They kept me apprised and up-to-date, always sharing with me my options so we could make decisions on next steps. Thank you Cecilia and Gloria for your expertise and compassion. It truly was a pleasure working with you. Nadine Starks Alpine, CA

Very disappointed in the conversation I had with Cecilia after reading all the good reviews about her. Made me feel very unease, especially knowing the situation I had with the previous lawyer she seemed greedy, not attentive to my needs and started to get rude and pretty much didn’t care how I felt. Never give into anyone’s greed. Once they show you there true intentions, if they’re not there for you look elsewhere. Youre voice matters, if they don’t have the decency to meet with you face-to-face definitely not worth your time.

Beyond being highly skilled and an extremely knowledgeable lawyer, Cecilia B. is a very ethical, honest, and empathetic person. She gave me valuable advice for free at several occasions and in a timely manner when I needed her the most. When she took my case, she made the process incredibly easy during a very difficult time in my life. Cecilia and Gloria in her team were very pleasant to work with, they were on top of emails and other communication and were very thorough throughout the process. Thanks to Cecilia and her team, I’m moving forward with a very positive note in my life. I would recommend this firm to my closest friends and family.

Had originally given a one star review as I had contacted this office for some guidance and never heard back. I was finally contacted by them when they saw my one star review and was asked to take it down as they value their ratings on Google very much and offered to talk to me free of charge...Isn't that what would have happened anyways with their advertised free consult? I agreed to give this office a chance and talk to them. I was given some good links to further look into regarding my situation, and the person I spoke with was fine. During our conversation, I was reminded a couple of times of how much the free conversation would have cost me had they charged for their time, wasn't listened to when trying to explain the events leading up to the current situation, and then was made to feel like they had done me a favor and had taken up enough of their time. I was also asked to edit my review again and was reminded to do this several times. Their other reviews all seem like this is a fantastic office to have on your side and while I appreciated them reaching out, I felt it was only done out of interest in having their rating changed. Would I consider this office again in the future? Possibly, as they do seem to be great at going to court for their clients.

Didn't or would not help my situation...
