Even though this was an initial consult, she took plenty of time to answer my questions and give me information. I will be using her for my family trust work.
I am looking forward to working with her.

Dylan helped me create a will and detailed trust for husband and I. It is not the most fun thing to think about (our demise), but she made it actually an enjoyable experience! She was very professional, quick, easy to work with and thorough. Our trust in particular was complicated and she was effortlessly able to grasp our wishes and even enhance them to create a detailed trust which I feel serves us very well. I rest easier knowing that we have this all taken care of, even though I am only 37 years old! I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice and indeed recommend her to all my friends and family. It is just the right thing to do to prepare for the future and not let our kids or strangers spend their energy deciphering over our estate.

I haven't retained this attorney, but will offer a review of how she handled my specific inquiry directly from an email sent to her which I obtained on the CA Bar Association website.
I received a very expeditious reply and a time to phone me was requested. When that time came, I received a phone call from a woman with a very pleasant and compassionate sounding voice. I told her I’d send a document that would explain my situation and she said she would review it and see if she’s a good fit. Within the hour I received an email stating that it wasn’t a good fit, in addition to giving me contact info for 3 firms that would be a good fit.
I had already been acquainted with one of the firms and I wrote her back telling her so. She responded back to me and reassured me I’d be in good company.
In all my years, I believe I've developed the ability to sense compassion and “good” in humans. In light of this, I can say that Kristen Jones is a great asset to her field and to the community. I would have not hesitated for a moment to retain her if she was the right “fit” for my case.

She helped move forward a conservatorship for my Aunt and Uncle that has some bad family history attached to it.
Throughout the process she was the rock, letting us know what to expect and is a great legal writer. Her knowledge of the courts and even knowledge of the different people that would later become involved with the conservatorship made a huge difference.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Kristen Schwarz without reservation.

Me and my family hired Zach for our case that had been at a standstill from a previous law firm. He made efforts to meet with my entire family in person and made sure to address each of our individual concerns. With Zach, me and my family were quickly able to close our case that had been hanging over our heads for years. He fought to get us the most money possible, and succeeded! Zach is very personable and I would recommend him to anyone!

Despite the amount of stress and other obstacles in life i was dealing with in the short amount of time i spent with Will. The fact that I could feel comfortable and situated with the things that were outside of my grasp because of the very professional manner and diligent work Will provided for my case I was able to resolve a very rough time in my life. Very professional and very much worth the time.

Adam is supportive and nurturing to his clients , courageous and resolution driven in his interaction with opposing parties and incredibly responsive , overall the most personal, attentive experience I have ever had with an attorney . I am so incredibly greatful to him for ironing out a complex tax situation from the past that frankly I had been just avoiding because I couldn't resolve it myself . Adam relieved my anxiety and managed the problem until it was resolved to my satisfaction. I could not be more impressed . I am so glad I picked up the phone and called him . The next chapter of my life literally has a new beginning because of him !!

All I had to do was tell Mr. Easter once what was going on with the Utah Tax Commission. I had no idea what to do. He immediately told me exactly what information he needed and I never worried another minute about what was happening. He kept me informed and handled everything. The case came back in my favor and I saved a ton of money! Thanks, Adam Easter!

When contacting Mr. Banks I had already been told by another firm that there was very little if any hope for our case...I knew our case was different in that it involved not just investment fraud..but real estate property. There were many pieces to the puzzle..and at times was hard to put together. Mr. Banks and his team spent countless hours putting things together..many times calling me after hours to go over things. He spent hours going over police records and talking with people that could one day be called as expert witnesses.
After over a year of countless hours of work our case was settled. I appreciate all that was done for us. Mr. Banks never stated it was a sure thing...BUT let me know it was worth the fight...AND IT WAS

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity of working very closely with Bob Banks for the past three years. He has represented, as a plaintiff, the nonprofit organization of which I am a board member in two highly complex malpractice suits against professionals - one a lawyer and the other a business appraiser. In both cases, Bob delivered highly satisfactory results.
Not only is Bob exceptionally knowledgeable and skilled, he is also one of the best human beings I have met. He is a person of the highest principles and integrity. He is sublimely respectful, caring and considerate. He is a talented strategist, and a highly effective communicator and relationship builder. He is tough, but fair.
Without any reservation whatsoever, I would enthusiastically recommend him to any individual or organization in need.

Background Information-- Prior Legal Cases: As an entrepreneur and business man, I hired and worked closely with several major Utah law firms over a period of 10 to 20 years. As a result of extensive litigation I gained valuable experience regarding both selection and working with competent attorneys.
Events that Led Plaintiff to Hire Attorney Mark Pugsley:. An extensive 14 month investigation of Plaintiffs provided substantial evidence Plaintiff’s had violated Utah Security laws. The facts and circumstances surrounding the anticipated litigation suggested to me that selection of a highly competent attorney familiar with securities litigation was essential to success. I selected attorney Mark Pugsley after in depth interviews with three other major Utah law firms that handled securities fraud litigation
Mark Pugsley Proposed A Strategy to Obtain Return of My Investment Without Filing Litigation: Mark Pugsley was able to quickly gain a good working knowledge of the various aspects of the contemplated direct claim and other possible litigation which was designed to return my large investment by either filing litigation or settling the cases via mediation. Mark proposed a unique strategy involving possible multiple litigation paths, which greatly enhanced the probability of settling the case via mediation.
Final Results of Mark Pugsley Strategy In My Recent Securites Fraud Case:
Mark Pugsley demonstrated his wisdom and experience as evidenced by the results of the mediation which met our requirements and prevented me from filing and funding approximately 2 years of costly and potentially risky litigation, which litigation I firmly believe we would have won. I would highly recommend Mark Pugsley for security fraud litigation cases and/or derivative litigation cases because he is intelligent, he speaks well, he understands relevant federal and state security laws, he is a good writer, he is a good poker player, he has a friendly but firm demeanor when dealing with the other side, he has a team of highly qualified supporting attorneys that he calls on from time to time and he has over twenty years of successful experience. Enough said!

In the past twenty years of doing business I have used several lawyers and firms that specialize in the area of Corporate and Securities law in Utah and Texas. Mark without question has been superior to any previous lawyer in all apsects. I first used Mark on a case which I had previoulsy presented to other lawyers whom seemed to have no answers. The case was very complex. Mark took the time and found a solution that has resulted in an outcome beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Mark as a lawyer and plan on using him for any future needs.

Consummate Professional
Eric is a consummate professional. Among the many attorneys I interviewed for my matter, Eric and his firm stood out among all of the rest and chose him and the McEldrew Young law firm based on his experience and clear understanding of complex securities issues. As a professional with a background in retail securities, I had spoken to many firms before Eric's who didn’t seem to speak even the basic language related to such securities issues, yet Eric and his firm understood from our initial conversation. His willingness to listen, pay attention to the minute details of the matter and follow through by keeping in regular communication with me truly sets him apart from the many in his field. I would recommend Eric as it pertains to business/securities matters without hesitation.

I have worked with Glen for over 4 years and in each interaction have found Glen to be an exceptional lawyer. Exceptional means his engagement with the client, the persistence that Glen moves a situation forward with, the professionalism that he represents the client with to the counter party and the communication with the client. In an unqualified way I would use Glen on a regular basis and recommend that other individuals and companies should seriously consider giving Glen the opportunity to represent them.

I am writing to express my deepest appreciation for the exceptional and honest legal advice Krikor provided to me. Krikor, your professionalism, expertise, and clarity significantly contributed to my understanding of the situation I am in.
From our initial consultation, your commitment to excellence was evident in every aspect of your work. Your thorough understanding of the law, strategic insights, and meticulous attention to detail were instrumental in assisting me.
Moreover, your genuine empathy, patience, and clear communication helped alleviate the stress and uncertainty associated with the possible legal proceedings. You took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and gave information, which provided me with a sense of confidence and reassurance.
Your integrity, expertise, and commitment to justice, I feel, truly distinguish you as an outstanding attorney.
Thank you once again for your advice during our discussion. I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone in need of outstanding legal representation.
Thank you, and Thank you to the Law firm of Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian.

I cannot begin to express my profound gratitude for the exceptional legal team at Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian LLP. From the very first consultation to the final resolution of my case, they not only demonstrated unparalleled expertise and professionalism but also exhibited a level of kindness and empathy that transcended the typical client-lawyer relationship.
Navigating the complexities of the legal system can be daunting, but with Krikor and his partner, Jonathan, I felt supported every step of the way. Their depth of knowledge and sharp legal acumen were evident in every interaction, assuring me that my case was in the most capable hands.
What truly sets them apart, however, is their genuine concern for their clients' well-being. They listened attentively, offered sage advice, and provided unwavering support during what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging periods of my life. Their compassionate approach made me feel understood, valued, and empowered throughout the entire process.
In addition to being outstanding legal professionals, they also served as trusted confidants and compassionate therapists, offering not just legal guidance but emotional support and reassurance when I needed it most. Their ability to blend legal expertise with human empathy is a testament to their dedication to serving their clients in the most comprehensive manner possible.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian LLP team, I was able to navigate through my legal challenges with confidence and ultimately achieve a favorable outcome. I am forever grateful for their unwavering commitment, expertise, professionalism, and above all, their humanity.
I wholeheartedly recommend Haderlein and Kouyoumdjian LLP to anyone in need of legal assistance. They are not just lawyers; they are compassionate advocates who truly care about the well-being of their clients.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everything.

There was a major collection company which had a default judgement against me for a credit card debt that was paid. After providing countless documentation was unable to resolve the issue. I posted on Avvo a general question and received responses back quickly.

When I first got to Melissa's office and explained my situation to her the firs thing she said was "it sounds like you have a case" She wasted no time, she pulled out her pen and pad started asking me questions, writing notes and wanted any and all evidence that I had with me at the time. Not only did she believe in my case but she asked for no money upfront which was a blessing to me. Right then i knew she would fight tooth and nail for me. She explained how things would go and what to be prepared for. Throughout the next several months she called and emailed me every step of the way. Any questions she had, updates, or new news she always kept me in the loop. Melissa is very upfront, knowledgeable, and precise with everything. My lawyers fought to make sure everything turned out for the better. So if you are looking for a lawyer who will go above and beyond and will not take no for an answer than look no further You are most certainly in the right hands.

I needed some questions answered about my mother's trust to see if I needed to pursue some legal options. Monica was well versed and very knowledgeable about the information we needed.

I picked Monica randomly from your site because I needed a probate lawyer in a hurry and she had an opening the same day. My father had recently passed away without a will and had a reverse mortgage and I was in the process of adopting a baby who was being born that week, so I really needed someone to help me get my fathers affairs in order. Monica was so pleasant and reassured me that she could take care of everything and even offered to mail me documents to sign if I was too busy with baby to come in. I recommend her very highly and will also use her to handle my own affairs in the future. She is excellent!

Not only is Charlie a genuinely nice man, he also has an incredible grip on what it takes to be a lawyer and get what you need done.

My partner and I were in a precarious position with a third partner who tried to steal our largest client. Although other transaction attorneys were involved, it was not until James Tanner, a true litigator, got involved that we received an injunction blocking the partner from breaking our bylaws. Mr. Tanner was not only professional, but got the defendant to blatantly admit to the judge that he was in breach of the by-laws through his superior skills in cross examination and in getting the truth revealed. I would recommend him to any individual or business. He possesses a vast knowledge base and experience level in many different areas of the law.

From the day of our first contact until our final meeting, we received amiable, astute, & prompt service. Trevor executed laudable representation for my family; consistently going above and beyond to take care of us. We hired Trevor for a lawsuit against a corporation due to trauma our child endured as a result of their negligence. It was a very sensitive topic that was difficult to simply discuss. He was compassionate, encouraging, and never pushed the boundaries of our comfort level. We decided to settle without a trial because of the emotional turmoil of having to extend the lawsuit. Trevor was a tiger in negotiations and my child was awarded with a satisfactory amount of money. We're grateful for him.

The staff at Scarlett & Hirsch, especially Scott Hirsch, are so friendly and professional. When I was ready to sell my ocean front property I reached out to Scott and he was more than willing to help me with the closing. After the contract was signed my buyer decided he was ready to move ASAP, I let Scott know and we closed 30 days early! I have bought and sold many properties and this was by far the fastest and smoothest closing I've had.

David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using counter measures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity.
David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action.
David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed.
I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot.

I highly recommend Joseph Michelini if you are in need of an attorney or thinking about trying one out for the first time.

Dan recently represented me in a partnership dispute that eventually ended with a jury verdict in my favor. He did an outstanding job at trial with almost all major issues being decided by either the judge or the jury in my favor. After the verdict was entered, we had a chance to talk with most of the jurors, and they almost all expressed comments that were consistent with my opinion of Dan's performance.

What a Consumer Protection Lawyer Can Do for You
A consumer protection lawyer specializes in safeguarding individuals from unfair, deceptive, or fraudulent business practices. These lawyers advocate for the rights of consumers in disputes with businesses, helping clients recover damages related to fraud, defective products, false advertising, or violation of consumer protection laws. They work to enforce laws that prevent businesses from taking advantage of consumers and ensure that businesses adhere to fair practices.
Whether you’ve been the victim of a scam, sold a faulty product, or misled by false advertising, a consumer protection lawyer can help you navigate legal options and pursue justice.
When Should I Hire a Consumer Protection Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a consumer protection lawyer when you’ve encountered unfair or illegal business practices and need legal assistance to resolve the situation. Common scenarios include:

How Are Consumer Protection Lawyers Paid?
Consumer protection lawyers typically use different fee structures depending on the complexity of the case and the type of legal work required. Common payment methods include:
- Contingency fee: For many consumer protection cases, such as class actions or product liability claims, lawyers may work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win or settle the case, taking a percentage (typically between 25% and 40%) of the awarded amount.
- Hourly rate: For more complex cases or ongoing legal disputes, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates can range from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location.
- Flat fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a contract or filing a small claim, a lawyer may charge a flat fee that covers all the necessary legal work.
- Retainer fee: For clients needing ongoing legal assistance, some lawyers may charge a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that is billed against as the lawyer works on the case.
It’s important to discuss fees upfront with your lawyer to understand how you’ll be charged and to avoid unexpected costs.
