Professional very helpful

I was approaching retirement when my company laid me off. I wasted no time in contacting Mr Secrest. I am legally prevented from disclosing any details of my employer, the mediation process and the final outcome, but Mr Secrest filed all the necessary paperwork, guided me through the months of complex litigation, accompanied me to meetings, and finally negotiated a settlement which was far higher than my ex-employer's original severance offer. I can highly recommend David Secrest for his professionalism, expertise, legal knowledge and his perseverance in representing me.

I was referred to Mr. Secrest by a longtime friend at another Santa Barbara law firm after I'd called and been brushed off by a dozen firms regarding an urgent matter (I should have asked her sooner but the matter was rather embarrassing). He promptly got in touch with me and immediately relieved the stress I had been experiencing for three days prior. Mr. Secrest was patient in listening to the matter and paused afterwards before politely telling me he was going to be frank about the situation. He was honest about options but what was most valuable to me was his explanation of some fundamental, unspoken Santa Barbara issues that no other attorney had bothered to mention (which was almost certainly why none were willing to move forward in the matter). This was such a relief to learn! Despite losing the three prior days, I was so grateful for his candor which undoubtedly saved me additional time. On top of that, he referred me to a resourceful website (which I never came across in all my frantic Googling) that led me to an attorney who took on the case after reaching out that very afternoon. This will probably sound cheesy but a quote I often reference from Maya Angelou is so appropriate in this instance... People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." I felt my whole life turn around that day because of my phone call with Mr. Secrest and his honesty and kindness won't be forgotten.

If you have the misfortune of needing a personal injury lawyer look no further, Chad Prentice and his amazing team will guide you through every step of the way with expert advice, kindness and compassion.

I was involved in a Bike Accident where the driver pulled out in front of me into the bike lane. I tried to work with the insurance company but when they informed me that they believed me to be 40% at fault I decided I needed a attorney to better represent my interest in this case. I contacted Tyrone Maho and from the beginning he was up front and confident that the end results would be the right results. Tyrone and Company took care of everything from the medical liens to dealing with the insurance company and their attorneys and filing all the legal forms. After 3 depositions, countless medical exams and hours of mediation the case was settled 14 moths later just a few months shy of our court date. Tyrone is a part of the Santa Barbara legal community and this is a advantage when working a case locally as he know his way around the system and the right approach to take when preparing for a case for our courts. In the end Tyrone was able to negotiate a very good settlement that I would not have been able to do so without his representation. I would recommend you contact Maho & Prentice if you are in need of a personal injury attorney.

I have had a great experience with this law office. Ms. Baldwin is amazing and I am very grateful to her and her team for the outcome of my case. She answered all of my questions very promptly and made the situation as stress free as possible. I met Mr. Prentice who was also very nice. I am happy with my decision to choose them to represent me in this matter. I cannot thank them enough.

Chad, Sam, and the rest of the team were helpful, courteous and professional throughout my entire experience with them. They guided me through the whole process smoothly and explained everything in terms I could understand easily. Communication was always consistent and clear. I encourage anyone who may be looking for an attorney for the first time to reach out to Maho Prentice, they will take care of you and you'll feel comfortable knowing you're in good hands. Can't say enough good things about Chad and his team!

I am so grateful for the help afforded me by Maho & Prentice. I hired Tyrone Maho to help me with a personal injury suit following a serious attack on my person. Tyrone was unwaveringly supportive and committed; I am not sure I would have seen my case through without his help. Tyrone was by my and my family's side from the very beginning of the case, exploring absolutely every option with us and making sure we were well prepared for each new step and comfortable with every decision. The whole office at Maho & Prentice is hardworking and professional and communicated with us consistently. The final outcome of my case surpassed everyone's expectations, and I am so appreciative of the time, work, and patience that went into our 5-year fight. Thank you so much!

David took charge of my case and made it happen. David represented me in an age discrimination suit against a multimillion dollar giant and crushed it. I highly recommend David, he made the difficult look easy. David kept me in the loop through the entire process and demonstrated how a professional does business. Bravo!

Chad Prentice and his staff were wonderful! Never needing the advice of an attorney before, Chad made me feel extremely comfortable and reassuring. Chad and his staff kept me informed throughout the process and were always available if I had any questions. I highly recommend the office of Maho and Prentice.

Tyrone was so great to work with. He made the process stress-free as he and his staff took care of all the details of our case and clearly communicated exactly what they needed from us. We were able to move on with our life while Tyrone worked expertly on our case. In the end, we received much greater compensation than we would have on our own and we felt taken care of the whole way. We are so thankful for our experience working with Tyrone Maho and his staff.

Have referred many of my clients to Maho Prentice and consider them to be a trusted partner who treat our clients with the same professionalism and attention to detail as our team does. They hold themselves to the highest standard, which is what it takes to win ultimate success.
