John handled a very long and contentious WC claim for me a few years ago. He is professional, honest and did an excellent job with my claim. I would recommend him to anyone who is facing a WC claim or disability.

John Polofka and his staff made my Social Security Disability appeal as pleasant as I imagine any dealing with the government could be. It was obvious to me in the entry interview that Mr. Polofka knew what he was doing, and that he was analyzing the legitimacy of my claim.
Once he accepted my case, Mr. Polofka's staff was in contact with me immediately to make sure I submitted all the necessary documents to ensure a quick hearing.
Mr. Polofka followed my case close enough that he was able to get the hearing date moved up 4 months. At the hearing, the judge gave me two options regarding settlement of the Social Security claim. Mr. Polofka's advice was instrumental in my decision. Once I made my choice clear to the judge, the hearing ended and I learned of the decision within a couple of weeks.
I credit Mr. Polofka's expertise and experience with the quick settlement of the case in my favor. I would highly recommend his services to anyone dealing with the Social Securiry Administration.

John is the BEST. He will offer all of his expert advise and it doesn't stop there. He will be in constant contact with you as your case progresses. I never fail to contact John if I have a question about anything within the legal realm. HE IS THE VERY BEST! If he believes you should get advise from another attorney he will always lead you in the right direction. He has never failed me.

I contacted John Williams to represent me in my appeal against the Dept. of Veterans Affairs relating to a service-connected disability claim. For years I tried to represent myself but kept hitting dead ends and was always getting the run around from VA. I really wish I would have contacted Mr. Williams sooner. He has made dealing with the VA easier and has helped me get my appeal filed properly and has gone above and beyond expectations to help get my disability claim approved. If you are a veteran that needs help in obtaining disability benefits from VA, I suggest you contact Mr. Williams.

I recently retained this law office to represent me in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Not only were their fees extremely reasonable, but the staff paid special attention to me and were able to answer all of my questions. It was nice to have an attorney that was understanding and sensitive to my situation. I am quite pleased with the results and look forward to using Attorney Williams again if I need future legal assistance. They made the process very easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to get a fresh start and a way out of debt.

Rick Brunner has aided me many times during our twenty year association. He is sharp, focused, and uncovers potential obstacles in my landscape long before I would. The quality of his representation is measured by the number of referrals he has received from me.

Rick Brunner represented us in a law suit against a large utilities company. His expertise in corporate law along with his tenacious desire to fight for the little guy resulted in a settlement out of court. We were comforted and confident in knowing that Rick was in our corner. He kept us well informed on the case. We had confidence in his advice and would gladly recommend his services.

Mr. Brunner was very thorough and helpful throughout my case. He responded to emails in a timely manner. He took initiative and wrote very articulate letters on my behalf. He is personable, non-judgemental, and easy to talk to. It was obvious that my best interests were his priority, and that he was not just out to make as much money as possible from me. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends who are in need of legal counsel.

Shakeba took her time and explained what the next steps were. Explained what she may or may not be able to do and was up front and honest. She declined to enter into a formal agreement requiring payment until she was sure she could help me. I appreciate she didn't just take my money and in the end be unable to help me put. Thank you Shakeba!

I was very distraught looking for representation and I finally found an attorney I could actually trust and be at ease with. I was on edge because my livelihood as well ass my career was on the line so I had to choose someone that I believed had my best interest at heart. She was well worth the money and time. She worked back and forth with the board to get a reasonable agreement. Her representation has allowed me to maintain employment in the healthcare field. I am also excited because I was offered several positions from her hard work. I would recommend her firm to anyone in need because you wont be disappointed.

I don't typically post reviews but I wanted to say a few words about Attorney DuBose. I hope these comments may prove helpful to someone out there in need of trustworthy and reliable legal advice.
My wife and I are both new physicians trying to navigate the ever changing climate of the healthcare career. Attorney DuBose has been a bedrock in our decision making process from contract reviews to compensation negotiations.
I was recently transitioning from one employer and seeking other career options, her advice proved not only relevant to my needs but more importantly up to date with current trends in hiring.
What we enjoy most about working with her practice is that the process is collaborative and not one sided. Law is very different from medicine, but what both professions share is a common level of trust.
If you want to avoid legal pitfalls, if you want to know what competitive wages "really" mean, and if you want someone who's competent and strong enough to tell you when to walk away from an offer or when to seize the opportunity then you want Attorney DuBose.

I first worked with Houman when I was the Controller at a digital advertising agency in NYC. We often hired staff that had immigration issues ranging from visa transfers to moving from a foreign country. Houman made the immigration process seamless for everyone involved at my agency. He took the time to explain to me the details of the many complex issues that I was not aware of. Because of his work, we were able to make some great hires which in turn benefited the entire agency. I would highly recommend working with Houman. I look forward to working with him again as well.

Houman handled my successful green card application 18 months ago. He ensured the whole process went swimmingly with minimal effort on my part and great service and communication on his. It came through in only a matter of months, and while he won't be able to guarantee such a quick decision every time, I put a lot of that down to the great application he put together.

Houman managed both my L1 visa and green card apps, with efficiency, great communication and aplomb. He kept me in light of any new developments and from what I hear about other nightmarish immigration attorneys, I lucked out big time with this guy. Houman was always courteous, always took my calls, answered any nervy questions I had with patience and understanding, and he dealt withall the necessary authorities, in some cases going above and beyond the call of duty. Not to put too fine a point on it but he was a delight to work with, and I heartily recommend him to others.

My company has been seeking the counsel of Felix Shipkevich for years now. Felix has always provided excellent, quality service. He has specialized experience in the derivatives field and always seems to know the answer to any regulatory question we may have. Furthermore, Felix goes above and beyond simply reciting the regulations or offering options. He carefully considers the options and weighs in on what he believes is truly in the best interests of our company. Because we have come to trust his dependable advise, the company will consult with him frequently even if only to verify via a conversation. We trust his work and his advice completely. It is always a pleasure to deal with him. He is reasonable, approachable, and often comes up with intelligent and creative solutions.

We have been working with Felix Shipkevich for a number of years.

Daniel is a charismatic, smart, diligent, knowledgeable, and hard working attorney. When Daniel speaks, people listen; he doesn't mince words, and knows the right things to say and when to say it to win your case. Additionally, Daniel is very understanding and compassionate to what his clients are really going through, and actually listens. He is not the type of attorney that pushes you off to work with a paralegal, Daniel personally works closely one-on-one with his clients. He was able to navigate the ins and outs of my case, with my very rare and hard to understand disease, to successfully winning my case. Daniel is truly an amazing attorney, and he has all the traits, charastics, and skills you could possibly want from an attorney. Trust that you will not be disappointed if you decide to hire Daniel to represent you!

Not that we won everything we touched but Tom always gave even handed advice some of which I should have listened to..I would recommend this man to anyone wanting a honest open and knowledgeable person to work with.

Kevin is a life savor who I highly recommend. He single handedly fought and got me the best settlement possible.

He also made himself available every time I needed him.

I highly recommend Kevin. I previously had an unsatisfactory experience with my attorney in a prior matter. He generally did not communicate well and everything was always a rush at the last second. I had the exact opposite experience with Kevin on a recent business litigation matter. He patiently and attentively listened to my concerns, presented the pros and cons of my claims and advised me regarding my options and best courses of action. He consistently kept me updated as the case moved forward. With his assistance, a case that seemed destined to go to trial ultimately concluded with a settlement that I was very happy with. I cannot recommend Kevin enough.

He took my case to the Court of Appeals for Veterans' Claims and was successful in having it remanded. He offered advice to me on how to perfect my claim going forward from there . Finally I was successful in having my claim approved by the VA. If he had not won the remand, I would have been dead in the water. I am grateful to him.

I have worked in the land use/planning field for 30 years an have had the pleasure to work with Mr. Abbott on a number of occasions. His knowledge of land use/planning/CEQA law is outstanding. Mr. Abbot's firm offers a free land use law update each year at a few locations around Northern California which is widely attended not just by planners, civil engineers, surveyors, but by other attorneys, which is a testament to the respect he has achieved in his field of expertise. I do not hesitate in recommending him for any land use/planning/CEQA representation.

He was very detail oriented throughout the process and particularly during the closing stages. I'm certain to use his services in the future and would feel very comfortable recommending him to anyone.

I am beginning my review by stating that if you are in search of a professional, competent, conscientious, compassionate lawyer, then Kevin Tallant is most assuredly that person. When I found myself in need of legal assistance to obtain guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt, who suffered from progressive dementia, I researched among community members to find the best legal representative for myself. I determined that Kevin Tallant, who had the reputation as an exceptional lawyer with expertise in probate law, was the lawyer for my needs. After working with Kevin for more than two years to acquire and manage the guardianship/ conservatorship for my aunt and, later, after her passing, to settle her estate, I can attest to the fact that he is an exceptional lawyer and human being. He ( and his very supportive staff ) were always an email or phone call away to provide me with legal advice, guidance and, in some instances, moral support. With Kevin's counsel, all probate court processes went extremely smoothly, which reduced my stress during this sometimes overwhelming life experience. Kevin kept me informed of court proceedings, updates and discussed legal options with me on a continuous basis. I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this period in my life without Kevin's valuable assistance. I would recommend Kevin to anyone treading through the complex, frustrating waters of the legal system.

Kevin did a masterful job of defending us in a lawsuit that could have cost us ten of thousands of dollars. We won a jury verdict which compensated us for our losses plus ALL our attorney fees, which is pretty much unheard of.
We would highly recommend him to anyone involved in litigation, whether they are a plaintiff or defendant involved in a lawsuit.

Michelle is very professional and a pleasure with whom to work. She's been an invaluable legal resource to our Sales and Procurement groups and our Capital Projects' teams. Particularly impressive was Michelle's contract negotiation ability and creation of a terms standardization process across various subject matter---Multi-Million Dollar sales, supply and government contracts, license agreements, capital equipment, real estate, engineering and construction contracts, etc. An effective and dynamic public speaker and instructor, Michelle guides colleagues on legal and regulatory compliance issues in a way non-lawyers can understand and apply. Michelle rises to challenges and this year is taking on other areas of legal responsibility and oversight as our business grows.

Previously I was at a stalemate, but after hiring Jay things quickly moved forward to a resolution that far exceeded my expectations.

Paul Brisso has been Council for the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation and Conservation Distict (District) for over six years. Over that time, I have interacted with Paul 2-3 times per week on all facets of local government law covering personnel, property, liens, leases, agreements, contracts and insurance issues. In all of these interactions, I have found Paul to be very professional, knowledgable, and go the extra mile to help solve the sometimes complex legal issues that face a special district. Paul also teaches local government compliance classes. I have taken his class on California's Brown Act open meeting law and found Paul to be very good at presenting complex legal information in a very understandable and useful way to a non-legal audience. In my opinion, Paul has done an outstatanding job of representing the District and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any legal activity for which he feels qualified.

When you need an attorney you want someone like Elizabeth who is an amazing force with grace and conviction. She has seen us through the most challenging time in our lives and has been the constant rock to lean on.

I would absolutely refer her when times are tough and you need someone who will fight and win!

My experience with Wes, started when I had been placed on administrative leave while serving as a Civilian Government employee. The reason was due to a positive urinalysis for marijuana. I was searching for an attorney that could assist me in my defense and the one I contacted directed me to Wes. I met him in his office, we discussed my situation, which was dire, because of the stigma that marijuana has with the government. I told him that I had not knowingly used and that I believed that I had somehow been exposed while at a birthday party at a friend’s house. This is what I also told my leadership at the time and they flat out did not believe me. The government’s view was that I was guilty and did not deserve a chance to prove it.
I appealed my proposed removal to the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). Which is in place to hear and decide discrepancies for government employees. This process is lengthy and does not move quickly. While awaiting my appeal, I was removed from my position and had to find other employment while my case moved through system. Wes was there with me 100%. We stayed in constant contact, and he allowed me to assist in my own defense. We both researched case law that would support my defense. He did not dismiss my attempts to assist in my defense but welcomed it. We both knew that we were in an uphill battle against the government and that chances were slim that we would be successful. He in no way disillusioned me or gave me false hope that we would come out victorious but he did work hard mounting a defense that we could bring forth in court. I keep saying we because he made me feel that I was not alone in my battle and that I was a part of my defense.
He never pressured me about payment, and we work out an amicable fee, that I could afford based on my financial situation. When the time came to appear in court, Wes was very prepared and ensure that I was also prepared for the assault that the government would launch against my past, my career and my integrity. It was determined that my case was the first case in Colorado concerning a Civilian government employee accused of illegally using marijuana. With the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, we knew that this would be an uphill battle, but Wes had done some outstanding research and we were as prepared as we could possibly be. He presented our case to the Administrative Judge, and we won! As a result, I was awarded full restoration to my position, back pay, and attorney’s fees based on the Judge’s decision. The argument that Wes presented forced the government to change their regulation concerning the charging of civilians for misuse of illegal substances.
If you are looking for an attorney that will be upfront with you and go to the mat for you, Wes is the attorney that you want. He is relentless in his defense of his clients and will do everything possible to ensure that you are “defended.” He saved my career, and afforded me an opportunity to move forward with my life. Wes McConnell, is an attorney that will “be there” for you!

I was facing 11 yrs in a military court. Almost everyone on my installation and my unit was against due to lies and rumors, no one knew the facts. I didn't feel comfortable with my attorney given to me by the military(Because of lack of experience). I called around and I was running into lawyers who wanted $100 just to talk to me and give me a quote. I had one law firm say I would need to pay $10,000 and another $10,000 before trail. I was overwhelmed with stress. Then I was referred to Wes by another law firm who I initially contacted. The first time I called him he made me feel completely comfortable, It was clear he wasn't all about money. We met face to face at my house talked about my case to see if he could help me. He told me he didn't want me to waste my money if he could not help me, that is the first time I have ever heard that from a lawyer. Even though he said I had a good case, I knew right then weather he could help me or not I was going to hire him based off integrity alone. we came to agreement on cost for his services and he started right away. he questioned every one, He never stopped even the days leading up to my trial he continued to get more beneficial things to help me win my case. for a little over a year I called him and texted him everyday, he returned every single text and call. He never seemed like he was annoyed with me, he always had a great attitude. He answer my same questions over and over giving explanations making sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. If he not sure of something he will get the best person capable. I had experts coming from different states to help. In the end charges were dismissed I get to continue with my military career. my biggest regret was not calling him sooner, while I was being investigated. If you get Wes to represent you he will give you 110% he will be doing more than what you are paying him for. he will be thinking about your case late at night texting you calling you, he makes you feel like he is only working for you and has no other cases on his plate. He also represented me on a child custody case which came out good because he talked to me and the mother of my son we reached agreements because we sat in his office and talked and we are doing great still almost a year later. You will never find a better lawyer or person to represent you. Id just like to say I can never thank him enough, I hope to never have to call him for legal troubles again. But if I do need legal representation, I will call him first without hesitation. He is one of the best lawyer I have ever met, Now I consider him a friend.

Recently we were hit with an outrageously frivolous civil lawsuit. As someone who never had any experience with the court system, we had no idea where to start. We only had 3 weeks to hearing and I frantically called every lawyer in town and surrounding area, but everyone was booked or wouldn’t even return the call. A terrifying place to be. I called this firm and I was promptly transferred to Mr. Schwartz. (WOW! A FIRST!) He listened to my story, asked me some details about the case. I emailed him the court papers and some of my supporting evidence. Quite a bit of it too. He took the time to evaluate the case, consult with his partners, and next day agreed to represent us on such a short notice.
Due to logistics, we ended up hiring a local lawyer. (and pray we didn’t make a mistake) Mr. Schwartz was extremely gracious when I told him we’ll go with this other person, wished me all the best, and said he would gladly assist me in the future, if the need ever arises. Not a word about his time spent on my behalf or mention of a payment owed to him. The humanity and character of this lawyer was absolutely astounding, especially after going through the despair of not finding any legal help anywhere else. I SO wish he was local!!! I felt comfortable talking to him, I didn’t feel rushed or a burden. He was not condescending, as most lawyers are I find out, but warm, patient, with a healthy dose of humor, which God knows I needed, didn’t make empty promises, but gave me a realistic picture of the process involved. (also a sobering one). Now, that I blew my chance to have him in my court, if I only get lucky enough that he would not represent the plaintiff! That’s how good I think he is.
A shout out to all unresponsive lawyers/firms out there: take a lesson from this gentleman on how to treat a potential client in distress. Return the call in a timely manner, even if you won’t take the case: just say so! It’s common courtesy, so we can move on to the next person.

I have worked with Mark on numerous occassions, including a 4 day bench trial. Mark is meticulous in his preparation and therefore well prepared for virtually anything that can come up in a deposition or trial setting. Mark's style is fairly aggressive which I happen to like. However, he has always shown professionalism to opposing counsel, witnesses, and the Court.
Mark has the rare combination of book smarts and on his feet skills.
