My family was involved in a dispute over back pay owed to my late father by his former employer. Dispite repeated requests for payment, the employer was not taking us seriously. We decided to seek professional legal help, and reached out to Anthony and his firm. During our initial consultation Anthony was clear, realistic, and helpful, explaining the possible outcomes of the case, any sorts of extra compensation we should be entitled to, how long the case may take, and more. After hiring Anthony, he and his firm immediately got to work, chasing down the employer, determining the total sums owed, etc. The case then proceed very smoothly, dispite repeated sluggishness from the employer. Overall, we settled the case via mediation, receiving more money than if we had settled without Anthony's help. Thoughout the case, Anthony met and exceeded our expectations. He kept us informed, was always knowledgeable about the case, and clearly had an excellent understanding of the laws involved. We felt that we were in good hands with him. If I am ever involved in a similar dispute in the future, I would not hesitate to hire him again.

My case was resolved in less than half an hour after my first meeting with Atty Julia. Yes, unbelievable! She worked like lightning aggressive and fast! I was feeling hopeless when I searched for criminal defense lawyers in my area. Upon reading the comments, my intuition told me she's the right one. She emailed me right away and we're really prompt in responding to my inquiries. At that time I've felt like she was sent to defend me (I prayed for the right one). She's honest, straightforward, witty, sharp. After talking to her, I insisted on having a consultation, I really needed to see her coz I knew in my heart she would hear me, and fought for me. Who am I anyway, a victim of heartless people, migrated from a foreign country and only had my mom and 2 little kids. I cried my heart out while telling my story and the facts of my case. Julia has a big heart. She comforted me. I've felt her sincerity. She enlightened me about the procedure in the US and that she didn't see anything to worry about. 20 minutes after I left her office, I received numerous calls! From her! She said, Come back I will returnyour money. I said why?"The case is closed! I've spoke with .." I wasoverwhelmed with so much emotions- grateful,,vindicated, exhausted, I criedand prayed like I havenever done before. Thank you Lord for sending me this person. Thank you Atty Julia. I am forever grateful. When I came back, hugged her so tight. She saved me, my kids, my family.So my rating? Above and beyond!

Julia is a great lawyer, and has the skills and personality you want to represent you and negotiate on your behalf. My case involved a settled outcome that satisfied the prosecutor, and she was just brilliant at that. She is very responsive and gave me good advice early in my case, of course. But after the initial stage, she really went into overdrive, and recognized that she had an opportunity with this prosecutor to get my case dismissed. She knew an expert who did an effective evaluation and used another expert also in an artful way. She was correct that this would satisfy the prosecutor, and made it happen. She's one of those rare high-EQ people that works so well with persons, but who uses the rapport she builds to get a good outcome. She had a great strategy, and inspired a lot of confidence. I would hire her for any lawyer work, but also for any negotiation, which I think requires even more skill and talent.

Scott was there every step of the way going above and beyond after my 9 year old daughter was hit by a car. He helped navigate through the complexities of multiple car insurance companies, hospitals, health insurance, court filings and every single legality involved with the accident. His patience, knowledge and persistence effectively resulted in securing the maximum settlement for my daughter’s future. My daughter and I will forever be grateful that his hard work and dedication to our case means that we can put that part of our lives behind us and look forward to a future of healing and thriving.

If I could give Scott and his firm 100 stars out of 5, I absolutely would. Words can't fully capture how much Scott did for me and my family during one of the most challenging times in our lives. His professionalism, kindness, empathy, and exceptional expertise in every detail and strategy of our case were truly remarkable. Throughout the entire process, I felt not just supported but genuinely cared for, as if someone was fighting tirelessly for me when I lacked the strength to do so myself. If you're looking for a lawyer who combines an unparalleled understanding of the legal system with unmatched compassion, look no further than Scott. We can't say enough wonderful things about him and the outstanding work he does!

I contacted Cassidy Toles to first consult and take my case in a legal matter that honestly had me up at night for weeks. He broke it down for me, giving me the reasons why it was happening the way it was, potential outcomes, the course of action to take, and that while he was willing to take the case, he strongly recommended another lawyer that he "would call upon himself" if he got into trouble. The other lawyer was great, the matter resolved itself exactly as Cassidy felt it would (while still hedging as nothing is guaranteed) and any future legal issue, he's my first contact and the first I'd recommend others to talk to if it's in his sphere.

Although she couldn't take my case directly, she went the extra mile and helped me to sort through some of the red tape around California law by explaining how inheritance law works. In addition, she was able to find some background information on my very complex family estate issue. I plan to have her complete my own personal trust and I highly recommend Linda for estate planning!

Imagine opening a mail from the IRS stating that you owe several thousand dollars in taxes because you did not properly report your cryptocurrency. My partner and my heart's jumped into a panic! We knew Prerna also does tax law in addition to being an excellent immigration attorney, so we reached out to them. Prerna got back to us ASAP, and helped us file an amended tax return while running up against a tight deadline from the IRS. Prerna so skillfully and patiently walked me through how to properly document my cryptocurrency, with the appropriate cost bases! About a month after filing our amended return through Prerna, we actually got a nice return on our taxes instead of owing the nightmarish several thousand dollars to the IRS. Prerna also gave us tips of what to do better for our next years tax return so we do not make the same mistakes again. I highly recommend Prerna for taxes and immigration. Their knowledge, service, attention to detail and care is unmatched!

I want to thank Bob Cheasty for being an outstanding professional, and for helping me deal with a very difficult situation. He was responsive to my needs and respectful of my finances; he was decent, kind, clear, skilled, and mindful of relevant ethics. He is a nuanced listener, down to earth and personable. He had a comprehensive understanding of my situation and options, and clearly has wide ranging areas of expertise. I had been feeling somewhat helpless and anxious, because of the way my needs and interests were being denigrated by powerful parties, and Mr. Cheasty made me feel less alone and less helpless; he asked really good questions that encouraged me to elaborate my situation and concerns usefully. His input made so much sense in a confusing situation.

Robert Cheasty represented me after a very bad car accident back in 2008. My car was totaled and the other party was hospitalized due to broken ribs. I was so scared because I had the minimum coverage that I haven't made any change for 10 years, but he helped me settled that case within a year. The insurance covered all costs without me paying anything. Cheasty's assistant lawyer was very helpful too when I did real estate in 2012. She went beyond what she needed to do and pointed out how I could pay more taxes if I did the way I wanted to do. They really care about their clients. Cheasty's law firm also did an excellent job for my friend's former boss. She had a lawsuit that several lawyers refused to take, but Cheasty took it and did extensive research on both his professional area and medical field. He also found a good doctor to review the medical record and prove that the death was not related to her. That have brought back her peace. This was the reason I chose this law firm for my cases.

This review is long overdue. I was desperately looking for information about possibly getting an LPR for my son who is born outside the US. I was outside the US at the time, so I posted my questions on avvo and ither legal free forum but only few responded with real answer, most of the lawyers basically said they can’t answered now but to make appointment with them which mean money first. But Mr. Maina kindly answered most of my questions and scheduled a free conference call with me & my husband to answer more questions that we had. He was straightforward and clear on the instructions of what we had to do prior coming to the US and when we made it to the US he even gave us consultation in his office & told us the form to filed and the next step to do without paying anything. He told us his legal fees if he were to filed our applications but he said this was something we could do ourselves and so we did. We’re grateful to find him. Thanks Mr. Maina

My son got into some trouble before Covid hit and of course he had just turned 18, without Mr. Joseph Mastro Attorney-at-Law this could have been much worse. We called so many lawyers and no one would return our calls or they told us they were to busy. Mr. Mastro answered and spent about a half hour just talking to us, he did not ask for money to talk to us, just gave us some advice which he did not need to do without payment. Since no-one in my family has ever been in legal trouble before we were overwhelmed and wanted to be safe so we hired him on the spot, Mr. Mastro walked my son and us through the steps and was able to get the case dismissed. Luckily this was an eye opening event for my son and he has learned a lesson, something so small can have the potential to screw up the rest of your life. Thank you again Mr. Mastro for walking us through the process and helping get this case resolved, I hope we never have to use your services again but we will always keep your information for emergencies.

His question was [what are you trying to patent?] After I have explained the unique mechanical functioning of my device and for the reason it was invented he still thought that I had nothing much to patent.

It has been 3 years since Jeffrey Wolfert took my case, and I am Happy to Report that my case has come to a close. It's was a real bumpy ride, however Mr. Wolfert and his staff stood by me and gave me the support and attention my case needed. Mr. Wolfert was able to secure a substantial settlement on my behalf, I wanted a Compromise and Release settlement and that he got for me, with my up front Medical Set Aside, along with the annual payout for Medical Services, I will NEVER have to go through the Insurance Company EVER to receive the ongoing care I will need for the rest of my life. As far as Workers Comp goes, I feel that I have been made whole. Mr. Wolfert put a lot of time and attention in my case, he is worth his weight in GOLD. Not Only is he a Great attorney, He is a Great Person. Mr. Wolfert is a personable and kind individual and is Always On Top of his Game. The Workers Comp System is so broken and in favor of the Insurance Companies at the moment, I urge anyone who is in a workers comp case to get proactive in contacting their representatives to effect change in the current laws that are stacked up against the injured worker and in favor of the Insurance Companies. Every Voice Counts. I highly recommend Jeffrey Wolfert, Esq. for anyone who finds themselves in the Black Hole of the CA Workers Comp System

Mr. Wolfert handled a Worker’s Compensation death claim for our family. From the first time we contacted Mr. Wolfert, he was very informative and provided basic information as to the claim. After initially working with the lawyers for the company, we determined to hire Mr. Wolfert to represent our interests. His expertise and judgment were invaluable. He kept in contact through each aspect of the case, was responsive to any inquiry we had, and handled everything in a very professional, competent and caring manner. Mr. Wolfert kept contact with the Court and opposing attorneys to move this case quickly, which was especially remarkable given the fact that the pandemic delayed many court matters. The case was scheduled for a telephone trial in July of 2020, and with the comprehensive briefing provided by Mr. Wolfert, the case settled the morning of trial, after discussion among the attorneys and the Judge, for an amount that was more than we anticipated and had been offered by opposing Counsel in any pretrial settlement discussions. I cannot state enough the extent of the valuable service that was provided by Mr. Wolfert. It is without hesitation that I would recommend hiring him.

On January 10th 2024, my husband & I contacted Morris Law to assist us with an unfortunate criminal accusation we were facing. We met with Brian Amaya two days later. I must say that although we were surprised with how youthful looking Brian appeared to be for an experienced Attorney it didn't take very long for us to recognize that we were certainly in the presence of a very knowledgeable & well experienced professional Lawyer. Brian really listened to us to understand what happened. Most importantly, he wanted to know who we were as individual people. After he assessed our situation & understood us better, he gave us the good, the bad & the ugly of what we were dealing with along with what to expect. Although Brian left the doors open to us for due deligence, we chose to trust Morris Law with our livelihood & our reputation. Without a doubt, we were never let down. Brian always followed through on phone calls & questions we had. He consistently assured us that things were moving along on the right track when at times it seemed that nothing was happening or in our minds seemed questionable. Brian was always the voice of comfort & trust. Without a doubt he believed in us, giving us assurance of a positive outcome. For such a horrible situation that my husband & I endured, Brian Amaya made everything tremendously less stressful & a much more manageable journey. We have a lifetime of gratitude for Brian Amaya & the Morris Law team of professionals. This young Firm is everything anyone needs & could definitely trust for assistance.

I came to Mr. Tomasik from another attorney who was not capable of handling my particular case. I found his website while searching the internet for a personal injury attorney. I called the office and briefly spoke to Jessie, the assistant who was so polite and patient with me on the phone. She informed me that Mr. Tomasik agreed to meet up with me the same day. On my way to Berkley, I was very nervous as to how things were going to turn out because after all, I had such a bad experience with my previous lawyer. IAt the same time, I had serious painful health issues resulting from my car accident with which I had to deal with on a daily basis. Having to deal with terrible physical pain and looking for a different attorney for myself was very stressful for me. I arrived to Mr. Tomasik's Berkley office and upon entering I almost immediately felt comfortable. Mr. Tomasik got some information from me about my situation and how unhappy and disappointed I was in my previous lawyer. Like I said, at the time of my meeting with him, I was feeling very sick due to my injuries but Mr. Tomasik made me feel so comfortable. I was so glad that he was willing to take on my case. From then on, I don't have anything but all the positive things to say about Mr. Tomasik. He was always there to answer any questions I had along the way. I could reach him at all times. I couldn't reach my previous lawyer for weeks and I am not exagerating. I thought that was normal for lawyers not to call back promptly until I hired Mr. Tomasik. Most importantly, Mr. Tomasik treated me like family. He fought so hard for me to the end. Upon reading the other testimonials, I have come to realize that each case Mr. Tomasik takes on, he takes it very seriously and does not give up until he gets the best compensation. In my case, the process was very, very long but at the end he won a great settlement on my behalf. I appreciate all his help so much. I don't have a lot of experience with lawyers aside from my previous lawyer but I know that Mr. Tomasik is above the rest. Not only is he so professional, extremely knowledgeable, and compassionate but he is so down to earth person. I feel so fortunate in that he was the one who handled my case.

I was standing on a street corner when a truck jumped the curb, and knocked me unconscious. I had never been involved in litigation before, and I was extremely nervous for my deposition, but Mr. Tomasik walked me through the process every step of the way, and settled my case. Mr. Tomasik is a very trustworthy attorney, and I still keep in touch with him today. I would recommend Mr. Tomasik’s services to anyone

I have been looking for an eviction lawyer, and receive E.L. Blum's name as a respected lawyer. I wrote to him, explaining our challenge in an eviction for non-payment of rent issue. Within 30 minutes, Mr. Blum responded that he did not do eviction cases, BUT he gave me an email address that allowed me to view By Area lawyers who do handle eviction cases, and at Mr. Blum's suggestion and guidance, I was able to check out Oakland lawyers both by peer review and reviews by customers. Mr. Blum's response and suggestions have been much appreciated, and shows what a good lawyer he is - no wonder he is held in such high esteem. (Now if only he handled eviction cases......) Thanks, Mr. Blum

Ed was referred to me via one of the best real estate agents in Sonoma County, Peg King. I tried to find someone in Sonoma County, but I was not impressed with the referrals. Ed turned out to be a great find. He was straight forward, helped me with selling my house to my tenant. I was impressed with how quickly he responded to my questions and promptly stepped me through the process. Best of all, his billing made sense without trying to rack up the bill. The transaction was completed quickly and at a fair cost.

We needed an attorney in the bay area for a real estate matter, but don't live there so we were unsure where to turn. We received a very positive referral from someone in the area to Ed. From the beginning he was very professional and attentive. Phone calls and emails were always returned quicker than expected. He was also VERY knowledgeable on the law relating to the issues involved in the dispute - hours of research were not necessary, which we really appreciated. He gave sound, objective advice and was very fair with his billing practices. I would absolutely reach out to Ed should I need further representation in the bay area in the future. Thank you Ed.

I am an attorney with nearly a decade of litigation experience. In a recent case I was confronted with an unusual anti-SLAPP motion and asked the most experienced, well-respected attorney I know how she would handle it. She told me to hire Mark. Smartest thing I've ever done. He knows everything there is to know about anti-SLAPPs and gave me great advice. His strategy had the other side almost literally kicking themselves for filing the anti-SLAPP motion in the first place. Thanks to Mark, I got a great settlement for the client. I'd use him any time there's a high-stakes anti-SLAPP motion to make sure my client was protected - it was money well spent.

I am eternally grateful for the representation I received from CASP. After a horrible experience with a dentist, I wrote a review on Yelp! so that other patients could avoid what I went through. Unfortunately, the dentist filed a SLAPP against me and claimed my review had caused her to suffer economic losses. I was terrified at the thought of being punished financially for simply posting my opinion online, but after thoroughly researching my options, it was clear that CASP had the greatest expertise and success record with this type of case. The attorneys at CASP were wonderful to work with and succeeded in having the SLAPP dismissed.

Mr. Michael became very knowledgeable about my specific circumstances in a time-sensitive environment and indicated to me continuously my options in regards to my situation. I appreciated the time that he took to explain the possible consequences at various stages which greatly alleviated my concern with the situation coming to a relatively quick resolution. I was very impressed at the options afforded to me with my perspective being paramount within the confines of the law. I would absolutely recommend, and if needed in the future, he will be my first contact.

After a relationship ended, I found myself in litigation -- a situation I would not willingly choose. Dividing property became impossible when my former partner adopted an extreme position and doubled down on it. Sunena helped me defend myself through many steps of the legal process. Over time, both the facts and the law came out. Although the adversarial nature of the legal system made that a slow and painful process, and I felt overburdened at times, at heart I felt confident because I had a good lawyer and the truth on my side. Sunena is very busy, but knew how best to employ her time and skill to resolve the matter, and where to place both our energy. She understood my situation, the outcome I needed, and demonstrated when it counted that her commitment to advocacy, safety and integrity on behalf of her clients is real. On top of that, she's a fun and interesting person with fighting spirit. In the end, Sunena was able to avoid trial and achieve a financial outcome for me that was significantly more than I originally envisioned. Given the circumstances, that felt very just, and I am grateful.

I am currently represented by Sunena in a family law matter and I am extremely impressed with her substantive knowledge, strategic ability and the deep compassion that she holds for her clients. Although Sunena is extremely busy, she somehow manages to make sure she is on top of all things related to her client's cases. Moreover, I appreciate the fact that she definitely tries to address issues with honey, before vinegar, so to say, which is extremely helpful given the naturally contentious nature of family law. Without reservation, I would recommend Sunena for any family law matter in the Bay Area counties. I am currently represented by Sunena and I've been extremely happy with her work. I am also an attorney and I can professionally attest to the quality of her legal skills and knowledge, as well as her high level of compassion and care that she has for her clients. I strongly recommend her.

    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.

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.

    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.
