Porter Simon came highly recommended as I entered into the acquisition of an existing business in Truckee, Ca. I met and worked with Ethan Birnberg from beginning to end of the transaction and found Ethan and his colleagues to be thoughtful, thorough and professional throughout the entire process. Ethan is a great communicator, so he and I were consistently on the same page which was invaluable as the negotiations became difficult (as they most always do). Ethan also did a great job at tailoring his work product to my needs and the specifics of the deal which kept his efficiency high and the transaction costs to a very fair level. I highly recommend Potter Simon to anyone looking for high quality legal advice.

I recently had a real estate transaction head in a bad direction and I needed some counsel in a very time sensitive situation. As a life long local I have known of Porter Simon for years but have never needed legal representation for real estate purposes. I know they have a solid reputation so I decided to give them a call and I am so thankful I did. My experience was outstanding. I explained my situation to Rebecca who was very professional and knew exactly where to go with the information I had given her, I was assigned to the counsel of Ethan Birnberg who reviewed my information and called me back with a few hours which was amazing. Ethan was fantastic to work with, he guided me through a difficult time in a very calm and informative professional manner. I would highly recommend Ethan and the entire team at Porter Simon. Thank you Ethan and Rebecca !!

I reached out to Porter Simon to help me with a real estate legal matter and quickly heard back from Ethan Birnberg. Ethan was knowledgeable about the matter, very professional, conducted a no-pressure discussion of the issue and possible avenues I could use if I retain the firm. Ethan listened as I explained my goals and concerns and helped me understand whether the approach I initially thought I'd take was a good course of action. I feel confident based on my interactions with Ethan that I can turn to him and the firm if I need legal services in the future.

Had to get advice ASAP for a home sale in CA (we're in WI) -- left an email late on Fri--Claire Olson set us up with an attorney Monday morning! Ethan Birnberg was very knowledgeable, prompt and able to give us the information (and peace of mind) we needed to get the deal done. I would recommend the firm, Claire and Ethan specifically and will use them again in the future should I need to.

Ethan Birnberg provided me with excellent service regarding questions I had about HOA CC&Rs for the condo we recently purchased and intended to enroll in a vacation rental program. We are new to HOA rules and policies but with his great communication skills and professional expertise, Ethan was able to break down policies, explain impact by current County ordinances, and provide an amicable strategy serving all parties leading to a win-win solution for both HOA and owner. I intend to seek his opinion and engage his services for future HOA business.

Porter Simon was referred to me by my Real Estate Agent. Ethan Birnberg was assigned to help me thru a potential Real Estate dispute. His Counsel allowed me to close the dispute favorably in an expedited fashion. His experience and availability was essential. I'd recommend him in the future.

Ethan Birnberg represented me for a business dispute concerning a California corporation. He was very informative and willing to dig deeper than I expected, and achieved a great result for my case.

Instead of telling the truth they lie in the ad. They are on the web as civil rights lawyer's but don't practice it

Good representation
