I guess she'll be replying she never saw it. Yeah, right. I used Avvo messaging and the sent message is there to prove it, from last month! Lady, a simple reply politely declining would have sufficed. Instead she treated me like I was worthless. Here's a tip: you never know who you're talking to and what they can do for you in the future! Joke's on you lady: I hired 2 attorneys and they're doing a fantastic job. Manners go a long way! Thanks for nothing.

I knew very little about California real estate being from the state of Virginia and I had to sell my parents’ house in Southern California. I googled real estate lawyers in the area of my parents‘ home and chose Susan Stein because she was a real estate broker as well. I left a message with her office and was pleasantly surprised that she called me back in less than three hours and graciously spent about 15 minutes with me on the phone explaining everything I needed to know to sell the house. I asked her if I could pay her and she said “No”. What a precious soul! Thank you Susan Stein, and may the Lord bless you!

I had Susan helped me on a landlord/tenant case. Hired Susan is like hired a whole team of attorneys. No attorney can memorize every single line of law, especially for those Case Laws. To precisely present the case laws at the court, her team could play an important role helping her win the cases for you. One day during the court trial, after more facts were revealed, Susan remembered a case law that could quickly knock off a portion of my case. She called another attorney during the break and asked him to search for the details of the case law. Before the trial resumed, the details was sent to her cellphone with the case title, the year, the parties' names, and the exact wording of the part directly related to my case. By reading the portion of the case law and being able to provide the other details regarding the case law at the court, the Judge was able to verify the info right on the spot. That portion of the case which the tenant claimed was immediately turned down by the Judge. I ended up winning the whole case with Susan's help. Thank you Susan!

I have recommended Susan to clients with business issues who need advice and representation. She is very client centered and will try to settle a matter (e.g., using mediation) before litigating. I strongly recommend Susan.

I have been using the services of Susan Stein for many years. She was referred to me by another attorney who felt she was better suited for my particular family law case. Ms Stein helped me through a difficult family matter and helped us resolve most items through her very good negotiating skills. I have also referred some of my Real Estate clients to Susan, as I am an agent. They appreciated me referring them to Ms. Stein, as they were very pleased with the professional service, and the positive results they received from her expertise. She is a caring attorney.

I had a commercial tenant that I needed to evict. I contacted Susan Stein and she responded right away, prepared the unlawful detainer, and other necessary paper work. She was always available and returned telephone calls in a timely manner. We do a lot of evictions and this eviction was completed in the least amount of time. Susan's fees were very reasonable and she used her legal assistant to prepare some of the paper work, which resulted in a lower bill. I've had other attorneys prepare all of the paper work themselves and charge their full attorney rate, which probably is four times as much per hour.

I have used her for real estate and family law matters. Was very impressed with her works and results.

I have referred clients to Susan, and have also worked with her on various professional matters as co-counsel. In each instance, Susan provided excellent service and value. She is practical and always makes decisions focused on the best interest of her client. I strongly recommend Susan.

I have used the services of Ms. Stein for the past 3 years. She has proven to be a great help to me for various legal situations that I could not handle by myself. She has been very fair handed in her dealings with me and I feel like she cared for me as a person and not just another client. Ms. Stein is very diversified in her knowledge of law and has many legal contacts with whom she confers. In particular, she has helped me with business contracts, family law issues, and she drafted my Living Will and Trust. Currently she is helping me with a Business Owners Association claim and an Insurance Co. lawsuit. In my opinion, Ms. Stein's most notable attribute is her way of bringing two opposing parties together into mediation. She saved me a ton of money as I never ended up in court over real estate, family law, and personal business matters. I was referred to Ms. Stein by another attorney who I knew and respected. I went to him with the intent to hire his services but he was honest enough to send me to Ms. Stein as he did not practice in the field for which I needed a lawyer. He told me he admired Ms. Stein for her honesty and forthrightness. He was right and I am very happy he referred me to a very professional, knowledgable, and caring attorney. I cannot say enough about her as she has helped me over many legal hurdles in the past few years.
