I have worked with Maciej Wesolowski on many occasions and I have nothing but good things to say about services he has provided.

Maciej, always gets back to me promptly and no bureaucracy to go through. He gets straight to the point, very reasonably priced and very thorough.

I contacted this attorney with a specific real estate matter. I needed to have a commercial lease agreement reviewed and drafted. Maciej gave me very clear explanations and made it very easy for me to understand. He prepared everything and paid attention to the smallest details. He did not charge me for extra time and the consultation. I would definitely recommend Maciej Wesolowski to anyone I know.

David is an extremely professional, friendly, hardworking and knowledgeable attorney. He came to our aid when our case was left in complete disarray by the previous attorney and before he the topic of him taking over was even broached he was spending his valuable time walking us through how to fix the case. He truly is a great guy and great attorney and I would recommend him to anyone without exception.

To say David Gharakhanian exceeded my wildest expectations as a personal injury lawyer would be a drastic understatement. What he accomplished on my behalf is nothing short of miraculous. My case started out smoothly- the other party involved in my auto accident accepted fault and their insurance company immediately compensated me for my totaled car, so I felt I could handle things on my own. As soon as medical bills came into play, however, it was another story. Although my insurance company had covered the bills up to that point, I had reached my max, there were future treatments to account for, and my insurance company had made it clear via numerous letters that they expected to be reimbursed before I received a penny. Four calls, several emails and zero responses later, I finally decided I needed help. David swooped in and not only got me more than enough money to cover all previous and future medical expenses, he actually convinced MY insurance company to wave their compensatory rights, which is almost unheard of. With that extra money, I was able to get a newer car without having to dig into my own pockets, so I walked away feeling as "restored" to my pre-crash state as possible. I like to think of myself as a non-litigeous person, but trust me, when you're traumatized and hurt after an accident, the last thing you should be doing is chasing down some non-responsive insurance company that is looking out for everyone BUT you. David truly cares about his clients, and he handles his cases with class, compassion and ease. I highly recommend him to anyone experiencing pain and suffering after an accident of any kind.

Nicole was very professional and understanding of my situation. She listens to what my goals were and worked with me to achieve the settlement I wanted. Communications with her were via email, phone, text, and in person. She ALWAYS responds on a timely matter. Never had me questioning her work. Her rates were fair and reasonable. I wouldn't say she's earned my "business", but rather she has earned my TRUST. Hopefully, I will never need her again (as an attorney!!!) :-)

David and Tim have been retained by me for one year to negotiate significant domestic and international settlements, and they have shown and used when doing so the requisite skills which have moved settlements toward favorable results. They are at their best when preparing and evaluating cases, when using appropriate tactics, when using counter measures, when making first offers, when in direct examinations, cross examinations, and when in the examination of expert witnesses. Their writing is marked by being direct and precise, by blending precision with simplicity.
David and Tim are particularly sensitive to complex moral situations, where no rule of thumb applies, no simple appeal to a single principle can assure a rational outcome. In such an instance they can be counted on to sort out the conflicting factors to determine what law, rule, or principle bears upon the situation, and what are the relative urgencies which govern a timely action.
David and Tim command a family of intellectual traits and abilities which allows them to cope with the unexpected, grasp relations, and solve problems with speed and originality. Especially pronounced among their intellectual traits is their ability to create a congenial, professional relationship with their clients wherein written reports are delivered without fail on a designate date to a designated site to coincide with or be separate from timely discussions. Their work pays close attention to the importance of having everyone on the same page and having the client in charge and fully informed.
I am a retired California State Senator who has hired and dealt with a number of skilled attorneys at law in the private and public sector. I have place David and Tim among the best of them and have in writing this statement measured them against this lot.

By far the BEST attorney II have ever hired.! I was up against a highly professional institution with little chance of seeing any kind of justice if i sought this in pro-per. No one believed my story, there were no witnesses it was my word against their word. Knowing deep down inside the truth of my case and not giving up searching for an attorney to believe in me i called a lawyer straight out of the phone book , he wasnt interested in my case but referred me to "Ms. Judith" who was out of my league as far as area she was located in ..... WOW I thought
"Beverly Hills ".... if it wasn't for her I would have given up. Not only did she believe my story she believed in me as a human being,, as a person! I wasnt just another case or another client when sitting with her in the initial consultation, She truly felt my pain as if it was her own tragic story she was telling. By all means in the end Ms. Judith did prevail for me. She is the most competent attorney i would reccommend to anyone not to mention she is beautiful!!

Judith exceeded every expectation that I had for an attorney. She is sharp, reliable, and truly cares about her clients. Throughout my entire case with her, I knew that I was in great hands. She was warm and friendly with me, tough and no-nonsense with my adversaries, and got me results that I couldn't have imagined getting otherwise. I highly endorse her, and will definitely recommend her to family and friends!

Ed is very smart, straight forward shooter, and very knowledgeable about all the aspects and laws of the bankruptcy more importantly he cares about his client more than any thing else.
I had a pleasure of meeting him through my Real Estate broker who has worked with Ed in other cases and he was telling me all the above but I had to see it to believe it. My case was very complicated and involved filling chapter 11 for few different corporations as well as personal 11, so it won't be an easy task for any attorney in this industry and handling my case would require very well experienced and sharp guy. The minute I sat down with him I knew he is the guy for the following reasons, I have been actually consulting my case with variety of other different attorneys from top pros to those who are well recommended and no disrespect to any of them, no one could actually present, explain the forthcoming and simplify my very much complex and complicated case the way Ed did for me. He listened carefully and patiently to all the aspect of case and then calm and confident responded back. And the minute he started talking about my case I knew he is the one. Ed is so sharp and smart and that's why he has earned the respect and the trust of the community in his young age. He is not afraid of telling you he is not sure of the answer of your question if he is not sure. He actually benefits of the cooperation of the Super Star attorney named Bruce who has been in this line of the law for over 35 years. His intellectual, sharpness and energy and vast of knowledge along with Bruce's master mind in Bankruptcy planning makes them unbeatable and one of the most trust-able team in this industry. I recommend him 100% , and for my future business transaction I'll not take one step without consulting with Ed about it.
Thanks Ed for your great job, you saved my business, my house and practically my Life!!!

Mr Hinden handled my Workers Comp toxic exposure case, which we both knew was going to be difficult. It had already been essentially abandoned by another attorney, and I was feeling pretty uneasy about my chances of getting a decent settlement. Within three years, Mr. Hinden's thoroughness, dedication and exceptional ability led to a large settlement (by Workers Comp standards) for me.
I highly recommend Barry Hinden and his firm in cases of this type. I felt my case was in good hands and I was treated with the utmost respect by all the firm's employees that I encountered.

Cheryl prepared our prenup document. While these docs can be stressful and challenging for obvious and emotional reasons. She was throughout, comprehensive, considerate and effective.

The documents were prepared quickly, and there were no issues at all. Highly recommended.

Ultimately, he was able to reach a great settlement for my case. I highly reccomend him.
