I reached out to Michael Weiner after experiencing difficulties with respect to accurate wage statements from my former employer. I had a signed contract which outlined a commission structure and Michael was able to review my employment contract. He advised me on the correct waiting time penalties that I was owed. Michael explained how the law applied to my predicament and was able to write a clear demand to my employer. His understanding of my predicament was with such kindness and expertise that we were able to resolve the matter in a swift and positive result. Michael's communication style is professional, kind, and extremely responsive. His knowledge and expertise specifically in contract and employment law assisted me to in a very favorable settlement, which exceeded my expectations and my former employers initial offer.
Michael fought for me when others did not, and kept my best interests at heart the entire time. He carefully considered each item of negotiation and expertly drafted responses in a timely manner. I will be going to Michael for any and all legal matters that I encounter from now until the future. Thank you, Michael!

I was referred to Michael Weiner by another attorney who spoke very highly of him. He puts his clients' needs first and fights for their rights. I was sued for over a million dollars for defamation from a Yelp review. I did not have the resources to fight such a massive lawsuit. Michael was able to provide compassionate legal advice, care, and understanding in a highly stressful situation. He provided me with peace of mind by putting things into perspective and calming my nerves during the process. In the end, through his dedication to my case, the entire lawsuit was dismissed. I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend that you do so as well.

I hired Michael to help me with a legal matter (a business where I had been storing valuables absconded with my property and sold it! And we had to sue him to try to get my money back), and after working with him to a very successful conclusion of this legal case, I cannot find enough good things to say about the GREAT GREAT job Michael did.
He managed to negotiate a very satisfactory settlement for me that I thought was quite fair value given the reality of what was legally do-able. I believe it was his experience in the law that enabled him to do this, and as well I was very happy in the way Michael worked with me….good communication, good service and in my opinion very fair pricing considering the amount of work he did.
I have no connection to Michael other than being someone who hired him for a legal matter who is very satisfied with all aspects of the service he provided. I would definitely recommend him.

I've been working with Mr. Sharifi for quite some time now. He is thorough, informative, considerate, professional, well versed in practices, and a good friend. He is truly shocking as far as lawyers go and I've worked with many. I would't want anyone else on my side. Go Sharifi! Thank you into infinity.

I contacted Mr. Sharifi when I was looking for a lawyer to handle my tech startup. I needed someone who was knowledgeable and had experience with trademark registration and business formation. We quickly set up an appointment and he took the time to give me an initial consultation detailing the steps needed to begin my new venture. After concluding our meeting, I knew I had found an excellent lawyer to handle my business. He is knowledgeable, personable and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I have since hired him and my dealings with Mr. Sharifi have been stellar! He is detail oriented, a forward thinker and has the client's best interest at heart. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reputable and ethical lawyer who uses his knowledge and expertise to get the best results for his clients. He is excellent to work with!

During the course of the last 4 years I have had the pleasure of working very closely with Nima for all of my business entertainment production needs. He is consistent, resourceful, easy to work with, and an overall very talented attorney. Nima has proven track record of delivering excellent results, maintaining integrity/ethics in our business dealings and also is very fair + competitively priced. In short, Nima is phenomenal and I will be utilizing him for all of my legal needs now and in the future as well. I highly recommend you take a meeting with Nima if you want things to get done right the first time and many more times to come.

We first worked with Kyle Pendergrass when he was at Cooley LLP. After he established his own patent and trademark law firm, we transferred our files to him. We value his hands-on approach for developing our patent and trademark strategy. We also appreciate his willingness to meet at our headquarters. Because of his guidance, we now have an issued patent and several registered trademarks. As our business grows, we look forward to even more interaction with him.

"Kyle is a rare find of a lawyer who delivers the high-end advice and aid one expects from a large firm without the shocking bill. If you need a patent attorney and a trademark attorney who understands your business objectives and can develop a suitable strategy based on those business objectives, look no further. We have been very satisfied and will use him again and again."

Our corporate attorney recommended Kyle when we were in need of a patent strategy that suited our budget and timeline. Kyle’s quick grasp of our technology enabled us to immediately develop and implement an international patent strategy.

Over the past 2 years working with Garrett, he has demonstrated superior analytical, research, and interpersonal skills. His ability to understand complex subject matter, coupled with timeliness, attention to detail, willingness to consult with others, and perseverance have produced substantial, positive, and unique results.
He is committed to our success. He is a loyal man and professional. He, and the firm, have exceeded our highest expectations. Garrett has gone above and beyond to always be there for us, and his leadership and drive have helped us to keep going through a long and hard process. From an idea to an actual utility patent (with the help of an amazing patent attorney), to helping us meet the right people to make this dream a realty. We consider him our friend and we recommend Garrett LaBorde without reservation.

Garrett was very knowledgable about both the areas of the law pertaining to my case and what the realities of pursuit of litigation might produce. He was willing to keep me posted throughout the entire process, much more than I would have expected from any other attorneys I have used in the past despite that we had already agreed on a set fee, I think he worked far and above what his hourly rate would have paid him had we signed an hourly contract. I was always impressed with his willingness to discuss the case as well as his willingness to keep things on track and moving forward.

Dee Malhotra is a top notch patent attorney. Everything he does is well researched and aimed at providing results. He is particularly knowledgeable on USPTO practice and trends. I have repeatedly called upon his excellent services to secure US patent protection for my own Canadian clients. As a client, I was always kept well informed. The work was completed on time, on budget. I recommend Dee for any IP related work whether trademarks, copyright, patents or trade secrets. His advice is clear and his thinking is strategic.

Deepak Malhotra is an outstanding patent attorney. Being a good patent attorney fundamentally requires that the attorney has a sound technical background in combination with exceptional legal skills - Deepak Malhotra possesses both of these skills which he has demonstrated on numerous occassions when he, as outside counsel, represented my previous employers.
Demonstrating technical and legal savviness can make an attorney a good patent attorney, but to be an exceptional patent attorney, a good patent attorney must demonstrate that he can be relied upon by the client and provide sound advise in critical situations. Deepak is an exceptional attorney and a good human being. He is knowledgeable and trustworthy. My feedback is based on over 15 years of experience in working with Deepak.

Our company is truly blessed to have found Ellis. When we were referred to him, we had struggled for over two years to reach a settlement agreement with a surety company.
Ellis eagerly took our case and jumped right in. He is extremely thorough and aggressive with defendants, and it is obvious he works (at any hour of the day or night) to achieve maximum results for us. He maintains constant communication and ALWAYS responds to an e-mail or phone call in a timely manner. Ellis explains legal terms and actions thoroughly to help us better understand the process. He is well organized, and he does not use our time or resources frivolously. In the surety bond case, he produced overwhelming results within a few months. To say we were thrilled with both Ellis and the results is an understatement.
Even though Ellis possesses tremendous work ethic, it is his heart that separates him from the rest. Ellis treats us like a part of his family, expressing genuine concern for our personal and professional well being. We have given Ellis tremendous accolades in our business community and continuously recommend him to our peers. We are excited to partner with him for years to come.

We contacted a well known pool company to do a full renovation. It turned into a nightmare. Thousands of dollars for work so badly done a second renovation along with replacement of fixtures the company’s workers broke were needed after it was “finished “. Carolyn was awesome - a force of nature. Her hard work and savvy resulted in a full redo of the project. Without her representation we were going nowhere with this company. She is smart, focused and committed. Her professional and easy going demeanor make her easy to relate with. We are very thankful we were referred to her and contracted with her to help us. Our pool is once again a source of fun and relaxation thanks to Carolyn.

Alan was the front line attorney handling a very complex and detailed renegotiation of an artist recording agreement with a major label, his attention to detail, timely responses and understanding of complex language was an essential asset in our representation. In addition several video agreements were negotiated on our behalf with all the same qualities in representing our interests and closing the deals, in a timely efficient and cost appropriate basis.

I knew Alan casually as the father of my daughter's friend when he read in the local paper about a high-profile legal issue I was dealing with as president of a non-profit organization. Our organization was small and under-funded, but Alan encouraged me to take on the challenge and provided me with pro-bono legal consultation throughout. He help me to secure pro-bono legal representation for our organization from a major international law firm and continued to advise me throughout the case. The case concluded successfully with an out-of-court settlement that granted all we had asked for. I could have never taken this on without Alan's invaluable assistance.
I honestly believe Alan to be the smartest person I know. I have always found him to be highly ethical. When he offers me legal advice, I always take it. I am happy to recommend Alan Barson without reservation.

As a small business owner it is crucial to have a relationship with an attorney who has the right combination of experience, integrity and knowledge. Based on my involvements with Cathy Kazemi, I can confidently label her as an outstanding all-around lawyer.
Our business has had a couple of unfortunate cases come our way over the past few years in which we were required to solicit the services of a legal professional. In the past we tried out a few local attorneys and experienced disastrous results. It seemed that they barely even lifted a figure to help us despite charging outrageous amounts of money. Then I was finally referred to Mrs. Kazemi from another client, and upon seeking her services I was immediately impressed by her passion and dedication towards helping us achieve our goals.
One particular aspect of our relationship with her that we particularly appreciate is that she is an excellent communicator. She is always willing to go out of her way to explain what is going on with the status of our case, and what options may be available to our party at any given time. If you are seeking an attorney who possesses a genuine and straightforward personality and will never nickel & dime you, then look no further.

She look at my case and wrote very small amount on the paper and said to me, are you comfortable with this amount? I said yes and guess what after the stellement I am paying that small amount. And my settlement is the best one in this class action sued case. She did a great job and saved me from bankruptcy and meanwhile she saved me alot of money. I highly recommand her.

We are a very small business that doesn't make a whole lot of money, a large competitor decided to infiltrate our company, steal trade secrets, slander us online and file a frivolous suit against us. We hired an attorney that did a lot of damage to our case and ran our bill up to around $40,000. 90% of it for unnecessary research and communications (mainly with us over billing). We ran asap and were lucky enough to find Ms. Kazemi. She repaired the serious mistakes in our case unbelievably fast when time was running out, and has been extremely fair and understanding regarding cost. We could not ask for a better attorney. She saved us from going completely out of business and has fought hard for us, negotiated well, always communicated with us to tell us what's gone on and really listened to us when we had questions or explanations about anything. I recommend her to anybody that wants a real, honest, hard working attorney that knows how to fight for what is right. They are so hard to find and we are very lucky to have her as our counsel.

Shaun agreed to meet with me last minute in an emergency situation involving a multi- jurisdictional move-away case. He represented me in obtaining a restraining order against my estranged husband protecting me and my 3 children. This was an extremely difficult time for me & Shaun kept reassuring me that everything would be okay. He confidently took on my case knowing that it was a complicated situation and worked tirelessly knowing that time was not on our side. Shaun left no stone unturned when handling my case. He is professional, passionate and detailed. Most importantly Shaun believed in me. I can’t thank him enough & will be forever grateful for him.

During the last five years, I have been in a custody battle with my ex-husband. My ex was pretty much an absentee father for the first seven years of our child's life, and only came back into her life when she got Leukemia. During this time, my ex decided to get re-married to someone he met after returning to Sacramento. My child was mentally, emotionally, and physically abused by my ex and his new wife.
My ex-husband left the military (approximately two years after re-entering our daughter’s life), and decided to take me to court to get his child support lowered and attempt to obtain custody of our daughter. During this time, he lied and attempted to hide the fact he had a severance pay equal to his yearly salary, and was receiving unemployment at the same time. My ex spent the money on home improvements and furniture for him, his wife, and stepchild, instead of saving the money to pay his monthly child support.
Because my ex-husband was in the military, and had never been in trouble with the law, owned a home, and had a new spouse at home, he looked like a great guy on paper. Meanwhile, I am a single mother who was living in an apartment at the time, working full time, and earning my degree, so my ex thought he would look like a better caregiver for our daughter.
My ex hired an attorney with over 35 years of Family court experience, with a specialty in fighting for a father’s parental rights, and I was Mr. Culbreath’s first Family Law case. Thanks to Mr. Culbreath's legal ingenuity, my ex was not able to hide his income and assets, and was ordered to pay a higher amount of child support than he did before he left the military.
Mr. Culbreath was by my side through every attempt my ex-husband tried to get out of his finanacial and parental obligations to my daughter. Mr. Culbreath also obtained an order banning the stepmother from interfering with my daughter’s medical, educational, and religious needs, effectively making my ex take more responsibility for our daughter. Shaun also obtained a stipulation stating my-ex and his wife are not allowed to physically, mentally, or emotionally, degrade or abuse my daughter any longer.
To make an already long story, short; my ex-husband went through two more experienced Family Law Attorneys’, and Mr. Culbreath chewed them up and spit them out (figuratively), in court. Mr. Culbreath could combat every argument the opposition threw at him. Mr. Culbreath uses common sense, empathy, legal expertise, and digs into the details of a case before appearing in front of the Judge.
Mr. Culbreath always informed the likely hood of success of any argument I wanted to make, and took the time to educate me on the nuances of the law. There was nothing my ex-husband could bring up that Shaun hadn’t already thought of a legal argument for.
Mr. Culbreath is a Legal Assassin, and because of his ability to argue the detrimental flaws of my ex’s parenting, I now have 100% physical custody of my daughter.
I also hired Mr. Culbreath to handle my Grandmothers estate after her passing, and he made this a painless process as well.
Mr. Culbreath is a great attorney whether he is presenting in court, or handling in-office cases. Shaun Culbreath is the only Attorney I trust to handle my legal needs, and recommend him to anyone who has a need of Legal help.

As a UK based customer the US telecommunications legal arena was completely alien to me and before he could start to represent us Jonathan worked hard to understand our structure and services.
Based upon his analysis our strategy with regards to US registration was completely changed and we have avoided considerable costs and complexity. When negotiations with our telecommunications suppliers were in danger of becoming bogged down Jonathan's clear, concise and well argued interpretations ensured that not only was momentum maintained but also that decisions were always favourable.
Jonathan seems to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of telecommunications law - both statute and how it is being practically applied by the various agencies and departments of the US government. His knowledge and experience were key to the successful conclusion of our negotiations.
I whole heartedly recommend Jonathan and his team.

We have always relied on him and his partners for all issues or questions pertaining to telecoms regulatory issues, taxes, and sometimes, even new businesses. Jonathan and his team always make sure that we are updated on new changes and reminds on reporting deadlines by peridically sending out email bulletins.

After retiring from being a State lawyer, when I opened up my small custom corset and wedding dress business in 1990, I chose Steve for my business attorney dealing with intellectual property and contract matters, such as obtaining a service mark for my business name, and avoiding litigation by a disgruntled, irrational supplier. Later I also chose him for my personal estate attorney and have consulted with him on multiple occasions over the past 26 years. He has assisted me not only with these legal matters but also represented me in an unlawful detainer to remove a non-rent paying tenant. I always feel Steve is on my side. He assisted me come to a rational response despite my emotions regarding a disrupted relationship with my sister who at the time was Executor of my Georgia-based mother's will. I also had to hire a Georgia lawyer when my mother passed. That lawyer merely did what I asked, was slow to respond to my questions on Georgia law, never answered some questions, and in the midst of much emotional family turmoil, without reason threatened to quit. I was appalled. Steve can manage the emotions that come with legal matters and accomplish what you want but without rushing to litigation. After my own 16 yrs. practicing consumer and employment law, my conclusion is that the rational thing for anyone to do is avoid litigation at all costs unless there is no other choice. Steve's certification in mediation makes him particularly competent to do just that, if you believe the same.

We hired Isabel to review our FDD before we purchased a franchise. She was very thorough in her review of the FDD and was instrumental in our securing an amendment to our FDD that is very favorable for our position as franchisee. She made us aware of red flags in the FDD that could pose problems in the future. Isabel is extremely professional, cordial and easy to work with. I felt I could trust her from our first conversation and I had interviewed 3 other lawyers. I have full confidence in her character and would trust her with other business contract issues in the future.

Isabel is highly professional, responsive, tough and stays on task. Her fees were very reasonable (not a lot of money available right now). I live on the east coast and she was VERY effective communicator despite the time differences. These days dealing with our biggest banks is torture. Isabel brought them to the table despite their repeated attempts to ignore me. This didn't happen in a week. She stayed the course. Do yourself a favor....HIRE HER!

Dr. Vepachedu is one of the best patent attorneys in the country who counseled me through every step in submitting my patent to the USPTO where each embodiment in the patent was strengthened by the claims Rao wrote that covered every angle making it strong enough to be secured, maintained, and protected once it issues. I've worked with a few patent attorneys over the years and have yet to find anyone even close to having the prepared knowledge as Rao has when it comes to the preparation experience of taking a persons in-depth technical patent like mine and bringing it to life.

Rao is a born IP lawyer. He is extremely intellectual and curious of various areas of life. My patent relates to classical music and mechanical aspects of violins and violas. I did not expect him to be interested in musical instruments, because of his vast experience in pharmaceutical industry. But he was curious and willing to learn. He is also confident and has a fighting spirit. My patent application was first rejected as many expected, but he submitted a response with such concrete proof that it was granted.

He proved to be all that I hoped for in an attorney as he was thorough, timely in moving my forms and paperwork along, and most of all because he always had time to patiently answer any questions I might have, and always explained things clearly for me. I would not hesitate to recommend Mr Webb to anyone seeking a top-flight attorney for cases in this area.

Mr. Andrews was hired by our municipality to defend us in a very complex and lengthy lawsuit. Because of Mr. Andrews' knowledge and thorough research we won our case and were awarded all indemnity and medical claims that had been paid out. I would highly recommend Mr. Andrews for any WC case.

Mr. Andrews defended my company on a very highly complex workman's comp case. The amount of effort Mr. Andrews put into finding all the discrepancies, deceit, and "non existent" records goes above and beyond. He won this "one of a kind, year long" case for me, 100%. He was very professional, always in contact and easy to get a hold of if needed. Most of all he believed in this case. I highly recommend Mr. Andrews for any workman's comp case as I will definitely hire him again if needed.

EVERYONE said it couldn't be done!!! Except Karl Andersen and his amazing team. I was owed a large sum of money from my ex and tried calling several attorneys who were apparently too lazy to take my case. Karl and his team not only treated me with the utmost respect, but he was able to collect the money I was owed. I couldn't say enough about them! Hire them immediately-you won't regret it.

Worked with her on a torts case even though it's not her area of expertise. She approached it with a very logical frame of mind and was nothing short of courteous and understanding the entire time, despite a lot of inconveniences coming from my end. Can only hope to collaborate with a lawyer like her for all cases

I cannot think of a better attorney to recommend than Maria Speth!
Maria has been our corporate attorney for over 20 years and we have used her services for many legal situations; from our contracts, to our website compliance, to managing our trademarks including cease and desist letters to those who have infringed on our IP.
In addition she's put us in contact with other great attorneys should our need be outside her field - such as an attorney for 1099 contractor law. (We've always been happy with her recommendations)
Maria is also a faculty member at our business events and has works with MANY of our customers. In all these years we've had zero complaints and only have heard outstanding feedback. She is a fantastic educator, and her communication is always on point; fast and concise.

I have the good fortune to have experienced Maria’s expertise in a multitude of ways; from teaching how to protect my intellectual property to advising me about contractual legalese; coaching me on business best practices, to illustrating pitfalls and pathways in navigating today’s digitally complex legal world.
She has always come through with just what I needed to make an informed decision, moving forward with appropriate action.
I am a recovering senior corporate executive and current parallel entrepreneur and small business owner. Knowing that Maria is on my team to advise me and guide me in all areas legal (whether it’s her directly or one of her referred colleagues) provides me with confidence, security and the ability to rest assured that I am in good hands and protected.
Maria is an outstanding speaker, writer and mentor and I highly recommend her without reserve to anyone looking for someone to advise and represent them!

I can't recommend Maria highly enough. I've used her for many legal situations and if she doesn't specifically work in that field, she'll have a great referral handy. She's been amazing with contract reviews, intellectual property rights for my film production company, and answering questions with regard to intellectual property on set props while filming.

I have worked with Brian Kinder since 2008 when I heard him give a talk on TM pitfalls. His knowledge is complimented by honesty, fairness and organization. I've never had a lawyer that I looked forward to talking with and would invite to my family parties I don't worry about the bill I'm going to get hit with like I do with other attorneys. A joy to work with!

Liz reviewed the operating agreement for my game development start-up and provided excellent advice. She caught several errors and pointed out a number of subtle issues I - and my partner's lawyers - had missed. I was deeply impressed with her capacity for clearly communicating complicated topics, and would strongly recommend her to anyone starting a game company.

I've met Liz at several game development community events and I worked with a client of hers whose well written contractor agreements I have seen firsthand. When I needed specialized legal advice on a game publishing contract that my general practice attorney was not able to provide, I reached out to Liz for help. She provided a detailed assessment of the situation, the risks involved and our options to proceed in the matter.

I am a freelance digital artist and first met Liz at community events--she is very friendly and courteous. I remembered her when I wanted to hire a lawyer to help me draft a contract for a new project/client. She told me clearly from the outset the price for the type and quantity of work, and she stuck to it. I was out of town at the time and she was able to work with me long distance. Her feedback on the contract was analytical and clear, exactly what I needed. And the price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend Ms. Surette.
