Reviews

Not really sure why the reviews are not all 5 star, but then again people tend to only review when their experiences go slightly inconvenient for them. Mrs. Hadjian aided me during a very deep and tough time my family were dealing with legally after a loss of a loved one.. She walked me through the entire process and was helpful answering my question. I just personally will always remember her for the comfort she provided me during the dilemma and stress.. she was just, human. Most lawyers can be seen as apathetic and not really care.. so this was a nice change. Thank you again Mrs Hadjian!!

She is super rude person and unprofessional I went there for consultation she didn’t even respect me and gave so much attitude she definitely doesn’t know how to talk and respect clients. don’t hire her! she has no idea what she is doing all things she said to me was actually wrong thanks to my new lawyer!

Zari Hadjian is a very rude person! She has a very bad attitude towards people and very unprofessional. Its very obvious that she is not professional at her job. Worst experience ever. And when i told her about her bad attitude she told me “ This is what you get with free consultation” I guess good manners come with money.

Very rude!! I called to her to ask her a question and she shouted at me and hung up the phone. I’m shocked!

was a client of Greenwald & Hoffman (Paul Evan Greenwald and Paul Austin Hoffman) of Santa Ana CA for approx. 3 years. They represented several entities that I had some involvement with, and they represented me and my family as well. We treated them well, and referred paying clients to them. They abandoned me last minute during discovery, but not after billing me close to $40k for a case that settled for a fraction of this amount - not as a result of their work, which was in my and my new attorney's view minimal. Then, they sued me for their fees after the statute of limitations expired. This is shameful behavior. i am not posting my name out of concern for retribution, which both of Greenwald and Hoffman have threatened.

NRG Resources, Inc. engaged Greenwald & Hoffman LLP of Santa Ana, CA in connection with various legal disputes including a lawsuit against several former executives and consultants, who also counter-sued our company. Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman urged us to switch from Sheppard Mullin, a large law firm that had been representing us in this and other litigation matters together with Greenberg & Traurig. Several weeks before trial, a dispute developed between us and Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman regarding the amount of their bills, which we believed were excessive. It was a very stressful time for our company. Indeed, even though we had paid Greenwald & Hoffman high six figures in fees, they threatened to withdraw from the case only a few weeks before trial if we did not pay them in full their latest bill. They followed through on the threat, and left us only a few weeks before trial. By doing so Paul Greenwald and Paul Hoffman put our company and us in an extremely difficult and uncertain position, and we had to scramble to find a lawyer on the eve of trial to save our case. To add insult to injury, Greenwald and Hoffman then sued us for fees they alleged we still owed, but waited until after the statute of limitations for professional malpractice expired presumably in order to avoid the possibility of getting sued by us. Although some aspects of the service Greenwald & Hoffman provided were adequate, we believe that Greenwald & Hoffman turned out to be more expensive than the big firms we had relied on in the past. The bottom line is that the value to benefit ratio did not work for us with Greenwald & Hoffman. Overall we did not have a good experience with Paul E. Greenwald and Paul A. Hoffman of Greenwald & Hoffman. We were not pleased with the value or results, and we would not recommend them.

Our Company hired Greenwald & Hoffman for partnership dispute. Most of the work was delegated to Paul Hoffman, who is Paul Greenwald's partner in this two lawyer Santa Ana law firm partnership. Paul Hoffman had a difficult time relating to the issues, and a great deal of communication was with Greenwald. This was awkward. I cannot say that Hoffman was inexperienced, but we were billed 30% higher than the amount in dispute. Economically this made no sense, and I felt that Paul Hoffman overlawyered this matter. I learned that Greenwald & Hoffman were sued several times by former clients, and can imagine why.
