Never again will I hire this firm. My case was a few years ago but it was with this same firm and with Mr. Valencia himself. On the phone he mentioned good things like getting the best results for me possible and possibly getting the charges dropped. All good things you want to hear as a person searching for an attorney but that's not how it went. This guy showed up late to every single one of my court dates by half and or more. He pretty much just showed up to do what I was supposed to do, which is stand before the judge and respond to his requests. I have a prior criminal record so I wasn't expecting him to make magic but at least show up to my court date on time which he did not. All matters were called first who had attorneys but sure enough mine waited until he got there. I feel I would've gotten the same results without him for sure as he did very little communicating with the DA or anyone on the other side of the podium. To top it off on my last court date after not seeing him for over half an hour I called his firm and they informed me he was in redwood city helping someone else. Seriously not cool at all or professional. So they sent another attorney from his office but not until an hour and a half from when the court started. I'm not here to complain about my outcome from the court cause that was a separate issue but i am here to complain about the unprofessional relationship I had with Mr. Valencia and how I will never recommend or reach out to them again. So save your money or go elsewhere because I wasted $4000 for something I could've and should've done myself. Last but not least I think it's very unprofessional how in most of the reviews that are not favored to them they put the person on blast for the previous case they had with them. That's very rude, unprofessional and down right dirty. If they do not like the truth being put in the reviews then maybe they should not be practicing law and giving people false hope. So I won't be surprised if I see information about my case they handled on here based on the responses to reviews that aren't in their favor.

In November last year, based on online reviews, I started consulting with Riccardo. At the beginning, he was quite patient. I consulted several lawyers and eventually chose him based on online reviews and his claim during the consultation that there was a 99% chance of winning the case. I felt relieved to leave the case to him. However, after we paid him, he stopped communicating and never proactively kept in touch. At first, I thought my case was not a big deal until I was charged and realized the seriousness of the situation. I spent money consulting another lawyer online, who advised me to write a character letter and resume before being charged, which could have helped. But Riccardo never asked me to do anything besides providing basic materials. He was also unwilling to communicate proactively, and I didn't dare to keep asking him questions. Whenever I had questions, they were relayed through his assistant. Throughout this period, he didn't inform me of what he was doing, and I had no idea about his actions until my case became more severe. He didn't help me much during the whole process and even made excuses, saying the DA was too young to understand family difficulties, which made me feel he was very unprofessional. I had trusted him because he claimed to have 30 years of experience. After my case resulted in a conviction, I didn't disrespect him until a week ago when I asked if he could attend court on that day. He agreed, and I was very grateful. But today, when I asked him, he angrily told me he was very busy. He could have refused me or informed me earlier. Instead, he made a lot of excuses. I swear that this person is really unprofessional, and I even doubt if those positive reviews about him are real. I know that when someone makes a mistake and needs professional help, they might go online and look at reviews. If you don't want to waste your time and risk losing your case, you really need to be cautious and not rely solely on ratings. From my experience, sometimes they are not reliable. This is my personal experience working with this person, and I hope to share it with those who need help. I fully understand your feelings, but it's crucial to be careful when choosing a lawyer.

Very happy with VIB Law. Riccardo was informative, personable and very helpful every step of the way. I’m glad I found this firm and highly recommend them!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal support and empathy provided by Habbas & Associates during a challenging time when my mother was injured. From the moment we reached out to them, their team displayed unwavering compassion, professionalism, and dedication to our case. One of the most remarkable aspects of working with Habbas was their genuine empathy. They didn't just see us as clients; they treated us like family. Their understanding of the emotional toll of my mother's injury went beyond the legalities. They took the time to listen to our concerns, offer support, and ensure that we felt heard and understood throughout the entire process. Beyond their empathy, the legal expertise and advocacy provided was exemplary. They navigated the complexities of the case with skill and precision, leaving no stone unturned in seeking justice for my mother. Their attention to detail, thoroughness in gathering evidence, and strategic approach to negotiations were truly impressive. Thank you so much for all your work, I am beyond grateful for your assistance, and have no idea what we would have done with out you.

I HIGHLY recommend Habbas and Associates, if I could give 10 stars, I would. When you are involved in a car accident it becomes very stressful to have to deal with insurance companies. They took the weight off my shoulders and handled everything, from the insurance company, doctors, bills, legal issues, etc. They explained the legal process which helped me understand my legal rights. Their attention to your case allows you to focus on whats important, healing and recovery. It simply became a smooth operation. If you have a legitimate claim and you want the best, Habbas and Associates is the way to go. Without a doubt, they are the legal dream team.

I am contacting this way. Your contact URL is not working. I have also called. Please contact me in regards to this as soon as your office is able to. I was in accident in July of this year. I contacted my insurance company and stated my claim. I have sent all documentation, photos, video & call logs they have requested. They have denied to fix my vehicle because I was in an accident turning off of the freeway and hit a pole and then drove home. No police report, witnesses, or tow receipt. I have no lapse in my coverage always pay on time or ahead of time. I just need my car repaired. Can you help me?

Best job

Very professional services. I would recommend this law firm to anyone without a pause.

Habbas & Associates faithfully helped with the case. In my case, Grace was in charge as a manager and helped a lot with paper work. She responded kindly and explained in detail. It was a good experience and learned a lot more than just the relationship between a law firm and a client.
