Our family arrived in the US about two years ago. We were referred to Pacifica Law Group. Attorney Benjamin worked in my asylum case. I felt confident that Benjamin was handling my asylum case. Gayane worked with our case and prepared us for hearing. They were fundamental in everything and I want to thank them wholeheartedly for the help and guidance that Gayane and Attorney Benjamin gave to our family! We were granted asylum at court last Friday, on September 13,2024.

Great experience!!! They resolved my case in less than a year. A case that at least 6 different attorneys decline to take and another attorney took and after almost 2 years there was no progress. I cannot thank Ben and his team enough. Now all my family is more than happy. I would totally recommend this firm to anyone. They really know what they do.

Charina Rhone handled my divorce and was an excellent attorney. I switched to Ms. Rhone after working with another local firm, and let me tell you the difference was night and day. I felt like I was in good hands and she was always working in my best interest, not for billable hours. She responded timely and thoroughly, addressing all of my questions and concerns, making sure that I completely understood the process. Ms. Rhone was efficient and professional with the utmost integrity. Divorce can be a challenging and emotional experience and Charina creates a comfortable space with great empathy, a sense of humor and tremendous grace. She is very easy to work with and I always felt well advised. Ms. Rhone is very knowledgeable about case law and local court proceedings. It can be hard to trust an attorney, but I completely trusted Ms. Rhone. My divorce was contentious with a stubborn and uncooperative ex , but Charina deftly guided me through the division of assets, debts, property and spousal support with a firm and steady hand. I really appreciated her realistic approach with a cost/benefit analysis of various courses of action, explaining that taking certain actions would most likely take longer and cost more than the possible benefit. She did this while still entertaining and supporting my various ideas and keeping things on track. I was very pleased with the outcome and felt we came to a reasonable and fair agreement in the end. On scale of 1 to 10, I give Charina Rhone an 11. I would highly recommend her.

Thankfully, Natalya was referred to me after more than two years of inept service from two successive tax "professionals."My tax debt to the IRS was in five figures, not including penalties. I was completely fed up. A colleague referred me to Natalya. As a tax attorney and CPA, she is the complete professional package. I was initially very impressed that she followed up with me within one business day. She promptly codified and interpreted my file and broke it plainly down in layman's terms. She candidly illustrated the errors of the "professionals" who had grossly mishandled my affairs. She then listed my options in order of effectiveness and finally steered me to the specific type of help I need in the future to insulate my company against corporate negligence. This woman practices financial science of the highest order. Steve Reese CEO Million Services Limo

Quiero agradecer a Mark por todo su arduo trabajo y compromiso con mi caso. Me sentí impotente cuando estuve involucrado en un horrible accidente automovilístico con mi esposa y el ajustador solo me ofrecía $ 400 para resolver mi caso, pero cuando llamé a Mark, toda mi vida cambió para mejor. Mark fue compasivo, dedicado y me brindó toda su atención cada vez que tenía una pregunta. Nunca dijo que estaba demasiado ocupado para mí, siempre atendía mis llamadas y siempre respondía mis correos electrónicos. Mi mente se quedó atónita cuando recibí su llamada y me dijo que había resuelto mi caso por los límites de la póliza y sin mencionar que mi caso se resolvió poco después de haberlo contratado a él y a su oficina como mi abogado. Si está buscando un abogado que sea compasivo, dedicado, que brinde buenos resultados rápidamente, que lo trate como si no fuera solo un número u otro caso. Él es tu chico. Si quieres resultados sorprendentes y rápidos. Él es tu chico. ¡Confía en mí, no te defraudará! ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente a Mark y sus oficinas legales para cualquier problema relacionado con lesiones personales! El es mejor abogado en la area de Sacramento/Roseville/San Francisco/San Jose/Vallejo/Fairfield y la area de la bahía y su oficina y el hablan español. Comunidad hispana recomiendo a Mark y a sus oficinas para su abogado!

We recently had the privilege of working with Jason Buckingham, Attorney and Counselor at Law and his wife Samantha for our estate planning needs, and we couldn't be more impressed. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, professional, no-nonsense, comfortable and enlightening. Jason demonstrated a deep understanding of estate planning laws and strategies, offering personalized advice that was tailored to our unique circumstances. They patiently listened to our concerns, answered all our questions thoroughly, and ensured we had a clear understanding of every aspect of our estate plan. Their attention to detail was remarkable. Every document was meticulously prepared, leaving no room for ambiguity or error. We felt confident and reassured knowing that our estate affairs were in such capable hands. What truly set Jason and Samantha apart was their compassion and empathy. They took the time to understand our family dynamics and future goals, incorporating these into the estate plan to ensure it aligned perfectly with our wishes. Their fees are beyond reasonable and it was great to work with someone in our county which made communication and contact a breeze. In summary, we highly recommend Jason Buckingham and his wife Samantha to anyone in need of estate planning services. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them an invaluable asset in navigating the complexities of estate planning.

Jason is the most compassionate, helpful, considerate attorney I could be lucky enough to find. He helped my 10yrs ago with a situation that nobody else would take, let alone listen to me about. He helped me accomplish my goals and showed me that there truly are great people, let alone attorneys, out there. This is one of the great ones. I am positive he will treat you just as well as he treated me years ago. Thanks again Jason!

Nick Webb is a kind, sincere and genuine divorced attorney. He is highly skilled in his craft. Calm and collective composure made me have the trust I was looking for in picking counsel. He is responsive in every aspect of communication and turns on the aggression when necessary. Dealing with a non-negotiable ex-wife, I had the chance to get imperative feedback on settlement pertaining to finances, child support and termination of material status. Nick gives you transparent and consistent communication, which is imperative in trying to close a chapter of your life during divorce proceedings. I owe Nick just not an endorsement on AVVO, but I recommend Nick as a point of contact as counsel in any divorce proceedings. He is my go to guy for any other legal proceedings in the near future. Thank you, Nick for all of your hard work and commitment.

Recently, I found myself headed to the Court of Appeals. I had been epically wronged by one of the “Too Big to Fail” banks and was fighting to keep my house. I was profoundly fortunate to find John Schreiber to represent me in the appeals process. To the court he communicated with a clear knowledge of the facts, persuasiveness, and integrity. To me he communicated with clarity, concern for my welfare, and always in a timely manner. To the bank attorneys, he was relentless. He nailed it! This nightmare was ended because of John’s brilliant, effective, and professional representation.

I highly recommend Mr. Schreiber, who successfully handled my appeal and defended against my ex-husband's appeal. My divorce involved unusual and complicated real estate and pre-nup issues. Mr. Schreiber's analysis of the issues was accurate and far superior to any other attorney that I spoke to about my case. He has a superior knowledge of the law and an ability to think outside of the box, he is very personable and he took the time to explain things to me.

Although the circumstances surrounding hiring a lawyer is never easy, Attorney Ned Ng and his paralegal Dianne were absolutely amazing to work with. My father married overseas in the only country that prohibits divorce (Philippines). I planned on helping my Dad file divorce paperwork but after doing some research, realized my dad would need professional legal services. I spoke to two law firms and felt even more stressed out because no one had much experience with international divorce. I emailed the Law offices of Durham and Ng and received a phone call within 24 hours. Our initial consult was with Attorney Ned Ng. Ned has experience with international divorce, was well thought out when answering all of our questions and the retaining fee and fee structure is appropriate and fair. After leaving Ned’s office, my dad asked for my personal opinion. Knowing that my Dad takes my advice quite seriously, I know I had to think about this thoroughly or this decision could put my dad at risk. However, I felt the utmost confidence that Ned would handle the divorce appropriately. After retaining Durham and Ng, everything moved quickly (paperwork, meeting and helpful conversations). Ned is a true professional and my father could not ask for a better lawyer. He is aggressive, by the book and extremely knowledgeable. He would even call between court cases just to answer questions and would see us as soon as his court schedule allowed. He’s a great lawyer and made this process surprisingly pleasant. We also had the pleasure of working with Ned’s paralegal, Dianne. Dianne is tough, tenacious and an awesome paralegal. There were occasions, I would email and her replies were almost instantaneous or in my inbox by the time I checked. She is truly an asset to this law firm! Fast forward six months, my dad is officially divorced and was awarded favorably in everything he requested. I truly appreciate everything they have done for my father. I would recommend The Law Offices of Durham and Ng, without hesitation. Thank you is not enough for the individual care and consideration throughout the whole process. Ned and Dianne, you guys are truly amazing and we are forever thankful!

Kathleen Siemont stole from my mother during their process. I would highly suggest finding a more reputable individual to work with. She tricked my mother and took more money than what was agreed on. Awful individual who took advantage of my mom during a vulnerable time. She has been asked to fix her mistake and she has failed to do so. This has caused my mother a lot of stress and I am highly disappointed that someone who has received previous high ratings would do something so awful.

Not content with how much I was charge for consultation, I was told $375 but before starting I asked her off the bat right going in how much are you charging for your service she said well let's have a seat I said maybe she's going to tell me how much. Questions led after another question and then she tells me $2500 am like what?! I mean that's why I asked from the start she could have told me $2500+ we didn't have to discuss anything further. But $375 for 30 minutes?! No thank you and plus everything she told me I already knew there was nothing she said to me that was news to me. She needs to be a little more reasonable with her price and what she calls a "consultation" you just reel people in a 20 minutes talk and expect to get paid $375...?

This is a review about Geri Kahn (Atty at law) and her staff Toni Dine. I strongly/highly recommend her law firm. After being denied my application for disability benefits, I was recommended to her by my fellow veteran in the armed forces. She reviewed and took my case for appeal. She and her staff were attentive to my needs and took their time to talk and walk through my case. They are meticulous to everything in gathering all necessary materials for submission and wanted to make sure we succeed. We were expecting quite sometime before we heard anything. It did not take so long, and we won our case expeditiously (case by case basis). All because their team knows what they are doing and is highly competent. If you need someone to represent you in Social Security Benefits or immigration, The law office of Geri Kahn is the one that you need. Compassionate, understanding, giving you time of the day, and speaking to you whenever necessary is who they are. You can never go wrong with their successful team if you are being represented by them. They are winners. Best of the best. I give them five stars and two thumbs up.

Robin warmed up to our child and they really bonded while taking walks around Robins office while they spoke with each other. I appreciate that Robin does her hardest to make sure our child follows court orders while Robin still allows the child to speak up and communicate their concerns to both Robin and the court.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    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.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
