Alexis Casillas is honest, understanding, reliable and professional. She truly is one of the most amazing, caring lawyers out there. She was a beacon of hope to my family at a time when our options appeared limited. I remember driving home from our first IEP feeling angry, discouraged and powerless. Our child needed help and we were told that there was absolutely nothing the district could do for us. Knowing that navigating the district's complicated system might be tough and overwhelming, we decided to reach out to Ms. Casillas for help. From the moment we met her, it was clear we had made the right decision. Not only was she an incredible advocate for our child, but her calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor when we needed it most. We are eternally grateful to Ms. Casillas and highly recommend her without reservation.

When I first came to Alexis, I was heartbroken and discouraged by the way the LAUSD was treating our child. We had tried another attorney who had taken our money and not helped. I was a bit traumatized by the process when we found Alexis but - WOW, what a difference the right lawyer makes. It was such a relief to be able to trust that there was someone on our side that knew the system and would advocate for our son. Alexis has known everyone at each of our mediations and everyone has treated her with respect(believe it or not, this is not always the case). She went above and beyond and managed to do the impossible - because of her, we got the services and schooling that the LAUSD initially told us wouldn't happen. At our last IEP, the LAUSD told me that my son was one of their success stories - that would not have been possible without Alexis' tireless championing of him. She has been with us every step of the way, and has made sure that we(my son and my husband and I) are treated fairly and with respect. She has always taken my calls and constant questions and never made me feel like I was bothering her. I cannot recommend her enough.

I had the pleasure to consult with Attorney Ackerstein. His knowledge and experience about employment law enabled me to put things in perspective I was able to step back and listen to everything we discussed. I would recommend Attorney Ackerstein to anyone who needs an employment lawyer. He is easy to talk to, responds very quickly.and explains things in "Non Attorney" language, which I found incredibly helpful .

After contacting over ten other attorneys to represent me on my whistleblower case against a former state employer, Mr. Chris Moody was the only one that accepted my case. He was very diligent in compiling all relevant information and ensured that my legal complaint was completely substantiated with documented evidence. Mr. Moody's attention to all the necessary details throughout my case helped reduce the amount of stress that I had to endure. He was both professional and supportive throughout the entire two year ordeal and managed to help me secure a very reasonable settlement just prior to going to trial. His staff and associates were just as professional and supportive and I never felt as though I was left second-guessing my choice to have Moody and Warner represent me. I recommended Mr. Moody to several co-workers and he continues to represent them on their cases. I would fully recommend Moody and Associates to any individual seeking quality legal representation.

I would highly recommend Ms. D'Alemberte for her sincere personal approach to cases and her attention to detail. She is a tireless advocate for her clients and has a passion for success. It is rare to find an attorney that is more interested in justice for her clients than the fees charged for her work. I have used a number of attorneys in the past 10 years for a recurring situation and Ms. D'Alemberte is the first lawyer who took the time to research and understand the small details in the law to assist me with my matter. She is extremely knowledgeable and adept with the system, the process and procedures which also is not common among your average attorney.

Although my child's case is not related to special ed, Mr. Berliner followed up with my urgent voicemail and called me after 8 pm, once he got a chance to respond. People get very stressful and emotional especially when they are not treated fairly and tend to carry away from the main course. I think Mr. Berliner knows this very well and stays sharp to the point. He spent about an hour or a bit more to listen to our situation, asked additional questions to clarify a few moments and tried to keep the conversation in a right direction. Unfortunately, I was out of time to make proper decisions for the next day, however, Mr. Berliner still suggested several options that were very helpful. I highly recommend Mr. Berliner to parents who are having problems with their schools.

We engaged Attorney Berliner after unsuccessfully trying to get our local school district to realize that our daughter’s educational needs were not being met. After literally years of trying to wade through PPT meetings and negotiating IEP’s we finally challenged our school district to consider an “out of district placement” so that she could finally get the specialized education she needed. Nothing that we said, no evidence that we provided could convince the school district that they were failing her. From the outset, Attorney Berliner was personable, professional and very straightforward in explaining the various options we had. Once we engaged his services, he attended a PPT meeting with us and represented our position in a very clear way. When the school district continued to hold to their position, Attorney Berliner helped us through what ultimately because a legal battle that we could never have fought – or won – on our own. I am very pleased to say that our daughter did receive the out-of-district placement that she needed. She has now moved through the high school system, and is a better adjusted, more motivated and forward looking young adult than she was, or would have been if she had stayed where she was. Thank you Larry Berliner. You have helped us give her a fighting chance !

I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Pate. He was not only courteous and professional to me but very intelligent in dealing with employer. He not only demonstrated skill and professionalism while handling my case but showed extraordinary compassion during very difficult and stressful times. I worked with him on my situation and I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness and after assessing the situation presented all the options so that I could make the best, intelligent and well informed decision. He was able to negotiate a better deal for me than the one my company initially offered. This can be an ugly world and it is nice knowing lawyers such as Attorney Pate to help people right a wrong when they have suffered at the hands of their employer. Attorney Pate is one of the good guys out there and I strongly recommend his skills as an employment lawyer.

In September, 2016, I contacted Atty. Pate regarding an incident I considered to be age discrimination in my workplace. In a no charge consultation, he advised me to contact my human resources department regarding the incident. I did so. My company investigated the incident, and it seemed to have been resolved. Six months later, my company took what I believed to be retaliatory action for my initial complaint. I resigned from my employment under duress two months later. I again contacted Atty. Pate who believed I had a discrimination and retaliation case against my employer. He advised me every step of the way while negotiating with the employer. Atty. Pate was helpful when I tried to collect unemployment and the employer appealed twice. My unemployment claim was successful. When the employer would not agree to a settlement, Atty. Pate filed a complaint with the EEOC, and ultimately a suit against the employer. Nine months after my second contact with Atty. Pate, the case was settled to my satisfaction. Atty. Pate kept me informed through the entire process. He was patient and empathetic and worked hard on my behalf against a very difficult employer. I am grateful for his efforts and guidance.

As a seasoned business professional, I have retained at least 10 attorneys in the past for matters such as bankruptcy creditor actions, partnership disputers, labor law defense, customs disputes, commercial real estate and copyright actions. Of all the law firms my businesses have retained, Sally and her team at West Themis are by far, the most astonishing. They work 10x faster and more efficient than all of the attorneys and law firms that I've used. Sally's methods are very concise, methodical, and strategic. She filed a certain motion in a case that my former attorneys at a larger firm never did. With her firm, I got answers, strategy, and results at much lower rates. Sally is the managing partner at West Themis Law. This law firm has a team of attorneys and professionals that handle different related areas of law that helps them strategize and attack each matter with different areas of law. They don't do copyright. All in all, I am very impressed. I think their secret to delivering quality, fast, and affordable representation is because of Sally's management style and use of technology. Also, I am sure that not locating themselves in a high riser definitely translates to savings to their clients. Like I said, highly recommended.

Mr. Maroko was my Family Law Attorney more that 30 years ago advising and helping me in matters related to child custody and child support. Although his practice has expanded far beyond what my needs were back then I just wanted to say in reflection these many years later how his honesty, ethics, and skill in the courtroom resolved satisfactorily what was best for my baby daughter. He always put the best interest of my daughter first. And the best advice he ever gave me as a single parent was, "Never Lie To Your Child, because if you do you will undermine your child's trust in you, and then who can your child trust?" And, "never speak badly of your child's father to your child because that will only create unnecessary conflict for your child." Thank you Mr. Michael Maroko for putting me on the right path as a single parent so many years ago which I believe contributed to the successes in my daughter's life today. I have no doubt you are still the same honest and ethical attorney today as you were with me over 30 years ago. I''m sure whoever enlists your services today in the areas of law you now practice will not be disappointed!

I had contacted legal aid regarding family law advice and was given a few references. Larry was the only one over the phone that made me feel like a person he genuinely cared about and wanted to help. I was not looking to hire an attorney at the time, but just to get advice and assistance on the steps I should take for filing. After a couple months my situation got a little more complicated for someone with no legal expertise to continue on their own so I made an appointment to meet with Larry in person. As in most divorce cases, my ex was pretty hostile and I felt I had no one to turn to and help me thru the situation emotionally. Larry was available anytime day or night if I had questions/concerns and never failed to make me feel at ease. My case was finalized after a year and a half and I have recommended Larry to numerous friends in need of a family attorney. Although he no longer practices family law, I believe Larry carries the same qualities of compassion & integrity in all aspects of his career, and for that will remain a friend for life!

Thanks to my lawyer, Lorenzo Esteban Herrera, aka, "Larry Herrera," I felt really confident hiring him as my defense laywer over a lawsuit of "Grandparents visitation rights." I, as a parent, and recent widow, was left with accusations of money being owed to my ex-inlaws and also threatened by them to take away my daughter and have full or partial custody. Larry Herrera helped me defend myself as I had every right to in order to continue my life raising my daughter aswell as defending my rights as the beneficiary person on my wife's life insurance. The gavel dropped hard on my inlaws after being exposed of lying under oath and were only granted minimal visitation rights with my daughter at only once a month for a few hours under my terms and conditions instead of what my ex-inlaws were asking for which was; Spending the night every other weekend, holidays, birthdays, and vacation time. Im glad that Larry Herrera helped me with my case because the experience really gave me a sense of strength and courage after reaching victory when the judge ruled her judgement in my favor. I definitely recommend Larry Herrera Law Services to anyone that is being sued by any family member. The only personal advise i can give to anyone out there who is going thru a tough time like I was is to, “Have faith, be strong, and let Larry do the rest!” ;)

Robyn and I graduated high school together, many years ago, which is how I know her. Robyn has always been polite and well-spoken. Recently I found myself in a situation with a former employer that was a surprise to me. During this time in my life, my livelihood was turned upside down. Even though I knew Robyn prior to my case, I was not aware that Robyn was an employment attorney, until she reached out to me regarding another case that my name was brought up in, that she was working on. On that same phone call I questioned Robyn about the type of law that she practiced. Robyn informed me that she was an employment attorney who dealt with employees that were wrongfully terminated, discrimination, retaliation, etc.. This information is what I needed to hear at that time. I asked Robyn if she had time to speak with me briefly and to look over some paperwork that I had received a few weeks ago regarding my wrongful termination with my former employer. Robyn agreed. Robyn took notes as she listened to my concerns and advised me that she would look over everything including my paperwork and would return my call to discuss the matter further. While I waited to hear back from Robyn I started to Google her to find out information regarding her and her prior cases. I was in awe with the information that I found out but not really surprised due to the person I knew in high school. After researching Robyn for several hours I knew that she was the attorney that I wanted to handle my case if she deemed that I had one. Robyn returned my call a few days later and agreed to handle my case. From that point on Robyn has been very thorough with me, upfront about all of my options, and has worked tireless hours on my case as well as keeping me informed. Not only has Robyn been professional about handling my case, she has also been there to assist me through some dark times. I feel as if Robyn can sense when something is wrong and will call to check in on me. This has not been an easy journey but I could not have picked a better attorney to represent me during one of the worst times in my life. Robyn has also had my best interest at hand through all of this while standing firm with the other side. Robyn is the epitome of excellence when dealing with her clients. I highly recommend Robyn Smith. Robyn is the best out there!

I cannot say enough good about Robyn as an attorney and person. I had a situation arise that needed legal assistance and eventually representation and I am beyond blessed that I was led to her. From the first time I reached out to her I knew she was the person that could help me navigate a very difficult period in my professional and personal life. I found her at a time when most others were failing to even acknowledge me as a person and it was affecting me in ever way imaginable. She was patient, open minded, open hearted and genuine in a way that shows without words that you've got a fighter on your side that won't back down. She took the time to get to know me, my situation, and is doing all she can to advocate for me and be my voice. She has helped me to be in the best possible place mentally and emotionally while guiding me through my suit. She can be tough when she has to be but she handles those times with such professionalism and decorum it's enviable. Robyn is incredibly hard working, dedicated to honesty, and doesn't roll over when other attorneys might. She takes her cases and her clients seriously and really works to right the wrongs. She knows my case and I backwards and forwards and has quite an admirable respect for the law, due process, and fair working environments for all workers. If you have been wronged and need legal advice or counsel I can't recommend her highly enough. With her experience and knowledge of federal and state laws I guarantee you can't go wrong.

Andrew assisted in the review and negotiations of my recent severance package from a large local employer. Andrew’s insights, attention to details, and legal contacts within the organization positioned me with a very fair package that protected my interests, fully represented my past contributions and kept me financially whole. The best representation keeps you out of court while still making sure the deal is fair and equitable. I hope not to have to use Andrew again, but if I am in need he is who I would call.

My Ex Did Not Get My Police Officer’s Pension Thanks to Delores Mayer Delores did the near impossible: she kept my ex-wife’s hands off my police officer’s pension. When I tell other officers that Delores saved my pension in my divorce, they can’t believe it. You will need a specialist like Delores if you have a pension at stake. She also was able to get me full custody of my sons with my ex-wife paying child support to me. Delores was also very professional and took the time out of her busy schedule to talk to me about my case and listen to my concerns, even at night after I got off of my shift. I would recommend Delores to anyone with a family law issue. Thank you, Delores! I couldn’t have done it without you.

I hired Ms. Gilson for an issue with a previous employer and she did a fantastic job. We had a positive outcome in the case and I am sure it had to do with her experience in the area of employment law. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

I undertook my master’s degree in law several years ago. Robert Gaudet, was initially my human rights lecturer and eventually my intern advisor. Throughout my entire education and working life, Robert is the person who sticks out in my mind. He instilled confidence in me and encouraged my ambition at every corner. I have rarely met a person, who I hold in such high regard. He is honest to a fault and unbelievably efficient. It was a pleasure to work under him and I would very confidently recommend him and his services to anyone who is in need of them, without any hesitation.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert on a transnational employment contract on behalf of a Dutch client operating worldwide that wanted to hire an American CFO. Robert provided us with an excellent employment contract that was tailored to our specifications. He added useful clauses that we did not necessarily expect such as an International Chamber of Commerce arbitration clause and non-compete and confidentiality provisions. Robert was prompt, accessible, and easy to work with. I recommend him to any Dutch business seeking assistance with U.S. legal matters

Attorney Shumaker is not only highly knowledgable and compassionate, but his years of experience leading employment law from the "inside" with a large corporation shows. His legal insight and strategy definitely helped me in settling my wrongful termination/hostile work environment case when other attorneys wanted to approach it from a different direction. His efforts also prevented my previous employer from enforcing a non-compete clause; which was very important for someone in the medical profession. I will be forever grateful and definitely recommend him to others.

Lawyers are like doctors, truly. We all hope that we never need one; but if we do, we want, and need, the absolute best. In respect to the absolute best, I can say that I found that in Brendan. As a person of color (more specifically a black male), I unfortunately encountered extreme racial aggression and discrimination on my job. As you might imagine, that alone brought with it great stress. Then, add having to deal with the legalities and legal battles that come along with that. Those two things combined are enough to drive anyone crazy, and they nearly did me. What made my legal journey different was Brendan. I can say unequivocally that he is one of the fiercest, most compassionate, knowledgeable, and responsive legal advocates that I have ever encountered in life. Put simply, he does not play. Past that, the level of kindness and professionalism with which he treats his clients, and approaches his practice, is beyond reproach. If you are reading this now, that likely means that you are looking for good legal counsel. To those looking for “good”, I’d tell you to keep looking. Those looking for phenomenal, Brendan is definitely your guy. It takes me a lot to write a review, but this one was easy to write. I am incredibly thankful that Brendan is a fierce legal advocate for ALL people. If you give him a call, I can say with absolute certainty that you’ll be glad that you did.

I came to Brendan with a very troubling legal issue and he made me feel like he was on my side and explained the issues to me in a clear way I could understand. I always felt like my case was a priority to him, even though he had other clients he was working with at the time. He kept me updated throughout the entire process. In the end, the final outcome was even better than I had hoped! I highly recommend Brendan... he is a zealous advocate who fights for his clients no matter what the issue is.

    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.

    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
