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.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Edward Levy! I have had the opportunity to have Mr. Levy represent me in court on 2 separate occasions. Both times, he demonstrated tremendous competency in my cases and when representing me in court. He demonstrates outstanding communication skills and spent as much quality time with me as I needed. He made me feel comfortable and at ease during this stressful time. His familiarity and years of experience clearly shown when we were in court and also in the hours of preparation and mediation with the other attorneys. I don't know what I would have done without him! He helped me to be calm, as his client, yet he was a strong force when representing me. I highly recommend him and I, personally, will continue using his services! Thank you, Mr. Levy!

Mr Levy represented me in a Federal misdemeanor charge. He was very knowledgeable about Colorado and Federal law pertaining to my case. I was well informed through e-mail, phone calls and face to face throughout all of it. During court appearances Mr Levy was very professional, curtious, ambitious and ready to fight for me. This was a very stressful time as I could have lost my career license if I was charged, not to mention all the additional costs and classes I would have had to take. Mr Levy had a calming presence that was very reassuring. I feel he went above and beyond for the price he charged. He was able to get my Federal charges completely dropped! I would highly recommend Mr Levy to any one. I thought he did such a great job that I have engaged him to do some additional work on a possible bankruptcy. He has been talking with creditors and making negotiations to determine if I even need to file. Once again the personal attention to my case and the communication throughout has made a difficult situation slightly better.

When I called looking for lawyers for my criminal case, no one seemed to want to listen to my side. They quoted me very high prices and didn't seem to care about what happened in my case. Being charged with a crime for the first time is terrifying.
When I spoke with Sarah, she listened and asked questions. I instantly felt reassured that I was going to be okay. Not only did Sarah listen to my side of the story, but she used what I told her to write a motion to get the case dismissed and the case got dismissed. I was blown away by her performance. Sarah literally saved my future.

Sarah did a great job and was surprisingly fun to work with. I hate talking to defense lawyers because they are so macho and aggressive. Sarah was super chill with me and got the charges dismissed pretty early because of a small technicality.

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.

Cant say enough about good things Jeff Berman and his firm. I had an issue where my rights were violated while I was visiting FL. I had actually consulted informally with an Attorney I know in my home state who advised me "there may not be anything worth pursuing and while what happened was wrong, I may just have to let it go". Well, Im happy I decided to consult with Jeff. He took the time to really examine what occurred and he agreed that my rights had been violated and action should be taken. Not only did Jeff take the case, he pursued it aggressively and with passion. I came away very impressed. My goal with my case wasnt necessarily a monetary award as much as it was holding the other parties accountable, but the monetary award Jeff was able to obtain was definitely a pleasant surprise. The Staff at Berman Law, Sara to be specific, was wonderful also. i truly hope never to need representation again in a case such as this, but if I do I know exactly who to call.

I retained Scott Hirsch to file an arbitration for me from a Ponzi scheme that really destroyed my financial situation. After 2 years of a good fight I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Scott and his office worked really hard on my behalf to get justice. I am relieved to close that chapter in our lives.

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.

I've seen and chatted with Bob at traffic courts for about 10-12 years and I had no real personal injury experience but he did, so he helped my family out with the mediation on short notice and helped us attain a successful result. He was really good with my widowed mother too who appreciated his assistance and understanding what she wanted to attain.

I can't say enough about the Professionalism that Scott Sommerdorf exuded in the case he worked with me on. I have never had to hire a lawyer to defend me in a lawsuit before and feel very fortunate to have found Scott to represent me. He calmed my nerves and made sure I was always in the loop as to the progress of the case. He would patiently explain what ,why & how things were being handled as they were. Even though the case took years, I never felt his determination waiver. During depositions, I felt that I not only had an experienced, knowledgable lawyer in the room with me but also had someone that cared about me as a person. I was extremely glad he was representing me and not the other way around. His expertise & diligence kept the case from going to trial and the case ended as a WIN for me. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

The only time I have been in need of any Attorney was 2007. With luck I was introduced to Scott Sommerdorf for defense. Our case was a long 2 year ordeal in which Scott always keep me appraised of anything that came about. And he was very patient with me as I had not idea this could go on so long. His professionalism, kindness and concern for me made me feel like I was in good hands, that I was going to be OK. His way of making one feel comfortable in an extremely stressful situation was always welcomed. Very knowledgeable in what he is doing made for a great ending to our case, which never seen the courtroom. His expertise and handling of our case was so well conducted. I could not have been in better hands.

Gregory Hall was insightful and compassionate in working with me in regards to two separate issues. In both cases, he listened to my story, gave me advice and acted on my part. It was obvious to me that he was knowledgeable. He did a lot of research to get the information that was helpful in settling my issues. He was honest about what the possibilities were for settlement of my issues. He kept me informed by phone and email. I highly recommend him.

I am so happy to review my attorney, Mr. Funk. He took care of my case, even with the challenges presented and got me much more than I thought possible for my suffering. I interviewed four other attorneys before going with Mr. Funk, because I felt he was the most realistic. He over-delivered. He communicated along the way, and always called me back with answers to my questions. Thank you, Mr. Funk!

David represented us for my husbands serious work related injury. Ours was a very difficult case that stretched out over 8 long years with many twists and turns.Even though it took a long time through no fault of his own, he remained very dedicated to our case. He never gave up. With his extensive knowledge of the law and grit, David represented us so well that we received above and beyond what we originally asked for after our case was presented by him in court. Our case is now entered into the law books as law due his efforts. Both he and his staff worked very hard for us. They always answered questions, returned calls promptly and were very patient with us throughout the years. The whole firm could not have given us better service if they tried, we are so thankful for each and every one of them. We never really understood before all that an excellent lawyer goes through and does until we saw David in action on our case. He is truly an honest, compassionate and hard working man. He does not accept cases to make money but to make sure that justice is served. We feel we were both blessed and honored to have Mr. Kupets as our attorney and will forever be grateful to him. If the need arose we would not hesitate to have him represent us again. We highly recommend this very wonderful lawyer!

Everything with my case went perfectly, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Attorney J.R. Parker was on top of all the facts and did a great job.

Everything went fantastic! I would refer anybody who needs a lawyer to him.

My husband and I were having problems with a tenant not paying rent. We decided we had enough and went in to see Mr. Geringer. Their office was not only knowable about evictions but gave us different approaches we would take to get the tenants out. When my husband and I finally decided which way to proceed Mr. Geringer was able to get the 3 Day Notice prepared and posted that same day. We ended up getting the tenants out and a money Judgment within 2 weeks. I would definitely recommend this attorney to anyone who is tired of getting the run around from tenants.

Mr. Geringer is not one of those attorneys that will do anything for a dollar. He will tell you the truth even though you may not like. He gives you all the facts and is honest about what needs to be done and how to go about doing it. I used him for a criminal case. I like how he worked that I went back for my family law case and had my new wife and everyone else I know go to him.

My divorce was difficult and emotional. We have children and my former wife was very difficult to deal with. Eric and his team helped me to make sure i made sound decisions for my children and me and my former spouse. I never felt they were trying to just get fees out of me. I felt they were there to help me and even to give me tough advice if i needed it. Even 7 years after the final legal settlement, Eric continues to counsel me when i need him. I have recommended Eric and his team to personal friends also having to go through a divorce and would not hesitate to do it again.

A couple of years ago, I found myself in a difficult employment-related situation, and needed legal advice. Knowing how important it was to have someone very competent, responsive, and personable, I started doing my homework. I researched the Internet, called and talked with tens of law firms and attorneys, read hundreds of reviews, and asked my network of friends and colleagues for referrals. At the end of this thorough search, I selected Mr. Robert L. Levi. During the approximately 18 months of collaboration that followed, I never regretted my choice.
In my opinion, Robert has the experience (over 30 years of work in the legal field), legal knowledge, and skills to help you with your case related to employment, labor relations, civil rights, or employee benefits. He also provides the personal attention to set your mind at ease and relieve (at the extent possible), the emotional, intellectual, and financial stress of legal work placed on your personal and professional life.
Deciding to sue someone is a scary thing. Mr. Levi helped me determine if taking legal action was appropriate for me; evaluated (and re-evaluated) the possible length and implications of the case; was very fair in the payment arrangement up front (no “surprises”); kept me informed right away of new developments; consulted with me on a regular basis; and answered my questions fully, every time I asked. He was realistic, truthful, diligent and ethical throughout the process.
During our collaboration on my case, he would send me regular updates, along with legal briefs of similar cases and respective rulings – in the eventuality I was interested to read (which I was, because it gave me context for my situation). When it was time to settle, we worked closely together to develop a strategy and accurately assess the compensation to which I was entitled.
Mr. Levi was compassionate, highly responsive, courteous, and kept his cool during some stressful interactions – all while subjecting our opponents to the full force his legal prowess.
What I liked the most about our collaboration, however, is that he treated me and my husband like family. Robert worked with me directly, rather than assigning parts of my case to less experienced or prepared collaborators. This assured stability and constant expertise for my case, in addition to giving me peace of mind that my legal misfortunes are in very good hands.
But since success is often defined by outcomes, I am happy to state that optimal results were achieved in my situation, proving Robert Levi is accountable, as well.
For all these, I highly recommend Mr. Robert L. Levi.

I highly recommend Robert L Levi.
Mr. Levi is sympathetic, understanding and knowledgeable when he decided to take my criminal appeal case. He is highly professional and informative from the beginning to the end. He is always well prepared for the case. After research and investigation, he changed the impossible to possible-- I got a very good result. I am very impressed with Mr. Levi's work.
I definitely recommend him to anyone.

I obtained Joe’s services for a family matter in 2017. He was very thorough and professional in the several months we worked together. He was always prompt and I felt like I was working with a personal friend more than a hired attorney. Which was comforting to say the least. All my needs were met and we did accomplish everything we were fighting for. I would recommend him to any friends and family and will most definetly hire him in the future if needs be.

Robt. P. Baker successfully negotiated a difficult settlement on my behalf that involved corporate ownership and employment compensation issues. Decades ago my business partner and I had executed a complicated shareholder’s agreement that recently became a matter of dispute at a time when our company sold most of its assets to a new entity. The stakes were very high for me, as more than 30 years of employment were encompassed by my equity entitlement; the fruits of my entire career were on the line and the sale of our business brought with it the end of any employment or future income opportunity for me with either my partner or the entity purchasing our company's assets.
Baker articulated a deft strategy to deal with the situation and guided me through the process, at all times keeping me informed and advised of possible outcomes and potential complications. The hurdle posed by the opposition’s initial failure to favorably respond was overcome by actions that were creative and appropriate. We filed a multi-faced legal suit that involved employment law, government regulation, and statutes relevant to business practice. Fortunately, litigation was avoided, but I have every confidence that Baker would have been able to navigate that phase of the case had it been necessary.
Baker’s greatest attribute is that he is effective. His able management of my case achieved an outcome that was just and equitable.

Robert is one of a kind lawyer that hits the ground running and acts fast. He is always reachable anytime on the day and extremely responsive. He is not your typical lawyer who signs you up and changes color on you. I went to him on a Saturday morning and by the end of the day, he had performed more than any lawyer would have done for me in a week...hands down.
I was in need of legal assistance in a complex real estate matter but it was of no match to his level of knowledge and abilities. His passion and motivation to solve a case shows in the work he performs. He has been a constant fearless fighter in our case and have greatly exceeded my expectation.
I have dealt with lawyers on several occasions and I now wish I met Robert earlier. My wife and I are extremely lucky to have Robert to work on our case.

Keith is not afraid to fight the government at all. I do not trust many attorneys but I trust Keith. He has so much valuable experience. We recently dealt with a very poor/young/ unexperienced attorney for two years , We came to Keith to clean up his mess. The old attorney has left us in a scary position as Keith has mostly cleaned up this attorney's mess on my part. We just need to find an attorney like Keith for my husband. My husband's attorney should be disbarred. My husband's Attorney sucks.

I would say that Keith was a tremendous attorney, he is very personable and ethical. Only issue I had was he offices out of his home, but he was very effective in dealing with the city in my case. I think most other lawyers would have given up where he continued to persue my case. Very good outcome was the reward at the end. I like Keith and highly recommend him.

I had hired Raja to handle my civil suit regarding overtime pay with my ex-employer. He was prompt with his followup, answered all my questions and listened patiently while I at times "vented". He guided me through the process and in the end, the process didn't take nearly as long as I thought it would. He made all the appropriate recommendations to get the suit closed relatively quickly and fairly. I highly recommend him.
