Professionalism at best from the first phone call I made for general information. The reception team was extremely helpful in answering as many questions as they could, until I met with the Attorney for a consultation. At the consultation I was able to ask all of my questions, and each was answered with a proper response. I didn't feel rushed or as if my questions were "dumb", which meant a lot. I did retain Contreras Law Firm to handle my issue, and every step of the way it was handled will respect to my personal needs as well as the legal process.

Typically I don't write reviews, but it was hard to find an attorney, and I think my experience might be helpful to others. I hired Contreras Law, particularly with Dolores Contreras and Anna Encinias, to help me with my divorce. They were always respectful towards me, gave me complete honestly, and helped me understand the whole process. The most important aspect from the whole experience is that I felt that they really cared. They always answered my calls, reassured me when I was stressed out, and answered any questions or concerns no matter how simple or complex. I can't thank them enough for being there through such a hard time. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

This attorney and her office did the worst job and was detrimental in my case. I had to get advice from several accountants, business and tax attorneys while she was still retained and when I mentioned to them what was going on, several asked "Are you sure this person has a law degree? What she is doing doesn't make sense." She is very unprofessional. She over promises, under delivers and blames the client when she does not work for them. It cost me two years and over a hundred thousand dollars to get... nothing. When I hired a new attorney, my files from her office were missing and tampered with. I have dozens of nasty and disrespectful emails from her I would be happy to share with anyone interested. Don't walk--RUN>

(2nd Review) Even after my case was dismissed. And some time has passed, Mr. Silldorf has reached out to me to help me get back personal property of mine that was seized during my arrest. He has gone above and beyond any other lawyer I've known of. And I am truly appreciated of his continued help. (1st Review) Mr. Silldorf from our first meeting was very friendly and treated me like a normal person, not like some alleged criminal. He was considerate and showed genuine concern. He made me feel he truly cared about my case and my well being. He kept me well informed and walked me through all the procedures during my case. He was able to get my case dismissed. I am truly thankful for all Mr. Silldorf and his team did for me.

Michael responded quickly with a willingness to assist on short notice.

Very good communicating attorney, highly recommended, will save the day in due time.

Michael was very professional and sensitivity to our circumstances during my son arrest for DUI and some additional serious charges. He was able to provide us with some level of tranquility for what has been an unusual challenging year for our family. He kept us informed and updated throughout the procedures, getting us a favorable court resolution based on what we were facing at the time. Since Michael provided an outstanding legal representation, my son will be able to put his life back on track as a productive member of society.

Mr. Berg and his team worked hard to help us out. Our family needed a good Lawyer and now the future will be much better due to Michael S. Berg. Super easy going, very casual so don't be nervous. They are all business when it comes to false charges, proving your case should be dropped, reducing fines and showing you are innocent. I would be confident in hiring Mr. Berg for anything court related from a felony to a misdemeanor. Not a cheap attorney, but very affordable and the results are priceless. Don't mess around. Know your rights and have the best in your corner! Michael S. Berg and Jasmine will work hard for you!

I consulted with Michael long before charges were filed, and he did a great deal of work on my behalf BEFORE he asked for a single cent from me. When I did retain him, he worked within my budget, which is incredible, as he is certainly a high-profile and highly desired attorney in the San Diego area. Besides being my attorney, he listened to all my questions and concerns with therapist-level compassion and understanding, a rare trait for such a tough and notable lawyer. The outcome of my case was exceptional, despite my spotted record. I'm currently on vacation visiting my parents and planning a new addition to my family instead of stressing over a real possibility of prison time. Michael Berg is the best of the best. If you are looking for criminal defense, you can't go wrong with him.

Attorney Michael Berg is the best Federal Attorney you will find in Southern CA. He sincerely cares about the future of his clients and will get the positive results that you are seeking. He kindly asked early in our conversation to please call him Michael…..he’s just that personable yet 100% about business, (he will get the very best possible results). I live in NC and my Son is serving out a sentence in Victorville’s Federal Penitentiary. He is due to be released next year but he still had an outstanding violation of his probation and it was serious enough to give him and additional 5years after serving a 10 year sentence. He was very fearful that after release he would get picked back up and bought in to serve the outstanding violation of his parole. I decided that this required an attorney with lots of experience and one that could get the results we were looking for. Michael has over 30 years of experience in Federal Law so who else could be better to represent my Son? I looked on-line to see his track record, I did my homework with so much at stake he needed the very BEST; a hero in the court-room that would get the positive results that we were looking for. Another success…Michael got his case to run concurrent with the time he’s already been serving with no additional time added!!! We are thrilled and thank him for the work that he did and having the best attitude and demeanor of any attorney I have ever encountered…Look no further he is "The Very BEST".

He was very good to us and our son , he told us at first contact he would take care of our son like his own , and he did. From 3000 miles away he was very reassuring and fulfilled his assurance with results . I would definitely recommend him .
