Wow I am so grateful I found Ms. Cardin, she is a wealth of knowledge and so sharp. I only wish I had met her sooner, prior to signing my divorce MSA. I highly recommend meeting with her if you’re going through a divorce to help protect yourself.

Trying to decide on a lawyer is very stressful, you have to go with you gut and best decision after just a few short consultations. I felt comfortable and at ease with Anne right away and knew she was the right one to help me through this difficult process. I am sure glad I found her and know that she is the reason I was able to make it through this with a successful resolution.
Anne was extremely thorough and timely with my case. Any time I needed clarification or didn't understand the process, she was quick to respond and explain clearly to provide better understanding. Her knowledge and experience is vast, and her suggestions for ways to approach things were ones I hadn't even thought of.
Anne was very professional, both in our interactions and in her communications with the opposing counsel and written court documents.
I appreciate that she had the patience to deal with multiple revisions and proposals back and forth with the other party. She had the fierceness to fight for what was deserved, but also the fairness to tell me what was reasonable to expect and ask for.
If you're looking for representation for your family law case, I highly recommend going with Curtolo Law. Having a good attorney is an investment in securing your future and Anne was the right choice to make that happen.

Anne was professional yet easy to talk to from the very beginning. She was timely in every part of the case and was willing and able to answer every question I had with clarity. She was always clear and upfront about what things would cost while giving alternatives when warranted. She was able to bring me back to reality when things got really emotional; something that I really appreciated in such a difficult time. I would recommend Anne one hindered percent for anyone looking for a family law lawyer. She is definitely the one you want on your side.

I was referred to Anne from a friend, and I’m very happy with my experience with her. I think my case in general was pretty straight forward, but I would have been lost on my own from day one without Anne’s guidance and knowledge. She handled all aspects of my case promptly and in a very professional manner. I highly recommend Anne to anyone needing a top notch family attorney. Sincerely Stephen H

Y’all, I was extremely skeptical about this bankruptcy thing through resolve. With everything being out of town from where I live and then having to talk to a bunch of different people every time. Then there was Jennifer, who confirmed all of my fears and reservations. From not returning phone calls to kicking the proverbial can down the road… Well, they fired her, great decision for the firm! Then comes Tegan! (Pronounced TAY-GAN) This rockstar of an attorney saved the day for myself and I’m sure multiple other clients! This chica literally works day and night to ensure all her T’s are crossed and I’s are dotted! She’s a straight shooter and will tell you exactly how the cow eats the cud! She won’t let you down though, if she says she will get back to you, you can carve it in stone! You can rest assured it will be her getting back to you, not someone she delegates it to also! If Resolve could clone her then they would be unstoppable! All this to say, Tegan, you’re the best! You absolutely saved the day for my family and I! You made this crappy ordeal look so flawlessly simple! Kudos to you and your team for taking care of accounts who were assigned to other people and still managing your other clients as well! I can’t thank y’all enough for everything!

An incredible lawyer with an immense eye for details. She has helped numerous clients of mine with all matters of Consumer law, whether it was an action against a collection agency for phone calls or harassment or an action against a lender for wrongful foreclosure. She is straight forward and will never mislead you. Extremely humble even though she is one of the best in her field of law.

I am a California attorney. I have known George Arvanitis for thirty-four years. I appreciate his great skill and see his work ethic as extraordinary. George is knowledgeable. He is honest. And George is an exceptional communicator. His cross-examinations and closing arguments are legendary. I refer my clients’ personal injury cases to George, because he handles those cases skillfully. George reported his progress on my referred cases to my clients and me. Therefore, I know the care he takes to provide the best outcome possible for his clients. If I ever need the services of a personal injury attorney, I will call George. I most highly recommend George to any person needing a personal injury attorney.

no one wants to be in the difficult position of getting a divorce but Amy and her team made the process so much easier! after calling her office for help, she quickly went to work & got all of my paperwork filed with the courts extremely quickly. From start to finish, she made this complicated process simple and as painless as possible. Amy is professional, efficient and empathetic. i would highly recommend her and her team to anyone in a similar position; in fact, i already told my friend to contact her team about his divorce. Life is hard enough as it is -- make it a little bit easier and less complicated by hiring and having Amy and her team on your side.

Amy Lass is thorough, professional, and efficient. I hired her to handle my divorce. My ex-husband ended up firing his attorney and we just used Amy to finalize our divorce. She assisted us with finding solutions and ways to meet in the middle that left us both feeling we got what we deserved. She is an excellent listener and communicator. We finalized our divorce quickly and with the least amount of conflict possible in this situation. If it were not for Amy, I don't believe that would have been possible. I would recommend Amy Lass to any family member or friend.

Amy and her team have been an amazing resource of help for us. She has been invaluable in the process of my divorce with two young children involved. We were able to come to very amicable solutions that both parties agreed on. This is exactly what you want when it comes to the kids not being in the middle of an adult situation. We could not have asked for better legal advice and assistance.

We needed to create a trust so our estate could be passed seamlessly to our children when we are gone. We hired Clinton Crosser based on recommendations from our friends. He is impressively experienced and knowledgeable in this area of law. An added bonus is his patience and his delightful personality. Covering all the bases to create a bullet-proof trust is anything but simple, no matter what the on-line ads may say. Crosser law is thorough and meticulous about careful preparation and correction of any errors that may be found. All needed documents such as grant deeds are identified, and Crosser law recovered these for us when missing, filed necessary papers with the county, and gave detailed instructions and forms for us to take to our banks, stock brokers, etc. He gave us a big, well organized binder ("The Blue Monster") with all relevant documents and instructions, including detailed instructions for our kids to follow as successor trustees. All this for a reasonable price. Bravo!

My wife and I put off creating a will and family trust for quite some time, fearing that the process would be time consuming and complex. Clinton took the time to teach us about wills and trusts and why we needed both. He was a pleasure to work with and made the entire process quick and easy. I have already referred him to friends and family.

Me Crosser helped ed my husband and I with setting up our living trust. It was something we had needed to do for a long time and had been putting of. Me Crosser helped us think about the decisions we needed to make and really worked with us to explain all of the details. It was such a blessing that he was able to guide us through the entire process. I highly recommend his services for anyone that needs to do estate planning because he can explain things in simple terms and help you make the really tough decisions.

Ryan Alexeev is an amazing lawyer and a good friend. I went to her office regarding my wife's case for citizenship a year ago. She is one of those persons who would listen to your case, give you personal attention before she takes up your case or not. She is not like other lawyers out there who listen to you only when you pay them. Before going to her, I went to couple of other lawyers who didn't give me any hope regarding my wife's citizenship. Ryan looked into my wife's case in detail and came up with a plan on how to go about it. She helped us every step of the way and was there for us when ever we needed her. Due to her efforts, my wife' s case was approved for citizenship and after that she helped me as well in filing my green card.
I would highly recommend Ryan to people regarding their immigration issues. She is knowledgeable, detailed oriented and goes out of the way in helping her clients out. She is a very nice person with an amicable personality.

Scott represented myself and one of my clients in a landlord tenant lawsuit that was quite involved and potentially very damaging. He guided us to a satisfactory resolution. During the several month process, we found him to be very approachable, spoke to us in language that we could understand but was very aggressive in our defense. I have since called on Scott for help in many other smaller issues and recommend him whole heartedly.

Scott has handled legal matters of a wide ranging variety for our family and our businesses for 15 years. He's formed LLCs, corporations and DBAs for us and advised us quite skillfully on issues of personal and estate liability. Throughout our association, he has been caring, concerned and conscientious. We've always felt as though we're his only clients. We would (and have) enthusiastically recommend Scott as a very fine practitioner of law. We've always felt very "safe" with him in our corner.

I'm shocked to read **any** negative reviews about Scott Miller. He has been my attorney for over 10 years. I first hired him to help me with a real estate rental matter with a rental property I leased. Although it was small claims, he helped me prepare and win my case and I got all my deposit back and successfully fought off the landlord attorney. Immediately following that I bought a home that had major mold problems and was very complicated. Scott was fully prepared and helped me throughout the entire two year ordeal. Thanks to Scott, that matter was ultimately successfully settled with the prior owners. My last big case was in another state. Scott helped me by interviewing attorneys in that state and helped me hire the right guy. He was just as good as Scott and that one was also successful. Scott stayed on top of that attorney, too, to make sure that the case was moving along with integrity. Scott has consistently demonstrated integrity, honesty and excellent, thorough customer service. He also helped me save money by delegating work that I could do instead of a paralegal. His billing has always been correct and fair. I have recommended Scott to many people and I will continue to recommend him. He's a great attorney that I completely trust.

was first referred to Tara Cheever when my wife and I were looking for an Attorney who could educate and assist us in crafting a Living Trust. It was super important to us as an Aunt and Uncle to ensure that we effectively handed off, to the next generation of our family, the businesses and properties that we had created and acquired for them. Our experience with Tara during this process was enjoyable, enlightening and resulted in fulfilling all of our criteria.
Fast forward 3 years later and Tara has become my legal counsel for both my Art and Farm companies. Since then she has helped me maneuver a bad business partnership, create new business entities, purchase multiple unique properties, while providing ongoing legal consultation for other areas of need.
There is nothing more priceless to a small business than having excellent and affordable legal representation. Tara will continue to get my business and my referral.

I had an issue with a contractor that could not be resolved without an experienced attorney. I contacted Brian and have to say from the get go he was very knowledgeable, clear, upfront, and above all honest. He knows exactly what to do and how to go about it. I have never seen better emails and letters written then by him. The way he communicated to the contractor and to me could not have been better. If you want the most reliable, best, and honest attorney you can find then look no further then Brian Andrews. Also very fair on his fees. 10/10 experience.

I found my self in a very difficult position financially due to a bank that made mistakes funding the SBC loan I was approved for. Mr. Zarcone stepped in and did so much more that what was expected to help my family and I. Of course, outcomes are important. But what is equally, if not more important, is knowing that everything was done that could have been done in your case. Mr. Zarcone. cared so much about the our situation, that after our dealings where done, he helped draft a letter to our representatives bringing attention to the issue in the hopes that other families with small businesses don't get treated they way we did. If you think about it, this is not only a good deed of a kind person...but selfless in that it could negatively affect the number of potential clients available to him. What mattered to Mr. Zarcone is that we had qualified and diligent representation. I thank him for that.

She is the best Attorney I have ever known ! , she went above and beyond and never stopped.
My daughter was going through a very rough divorce and had started with another well known law firm and they were so lax and had done a very poor job in representing her . , she was in tears and asking me to help her find a good attorney , I contacted many a discussed the case they all just said come in and we will talk . I then called Ms Harris and she talked for about an hour and was so reassuring , my daughter and I went in and it seemed like she was an angel sent to us by heaven , she took on this case that had already went to mediation and we thought was hopeless , she stepped in and took it all the way to trial , I thought I was watching a movie she took over and just had me in aw , her ex had hived a well known attorney and we thought we were beating a dead horse so to speak but she went in the court room as she did with us before and by the way she always was good in court , and she started off with penalizing the other attorney for not have filed and serving all the proper paper work , ( now remember this attorney was from a lg well known firm ) and that set the stage , they could not speak at all , she then proceeded to present her case for about three hours , it was amazing , it should of been filmed for a how to movie , at the end it was better than expected all of her demands were granted , I just have to say if you don't choose Ms Harris you would be making a big mistake , her daughter is her assistant and is just as good as her mother and together they are the best attorney team I ever ! , they pay attention to all details and it dose make a difference , they gave us peace in our home and saved my grand daughter from harms way , thank you again !!!!!

I hired Mr. Dwin last spring to help me with a wrongful termination suit. I found that he was helpful from the start; listening attentively, collection information and always returning my calls in a timely manner. I was impressed with his patience and his honesty about moving forward with my case. I was able to reach a fair settlement with my employer and Mr. Dwin took the stress off me as we proceeded with the specifics of the agreement. I felt he handled things fairly and I appreciated that he worked on my time schedule, calling at night and checking in with me by email. I would highly recommend his services.

Ms Hersch has helped me with various issues over the past several years. She is honest and has the highest ethics. Besides being highly competent what I really love about her is that she really cares about me. She makes that clear in the way that she listens and takes time to arrive at the very best approach to solve the problems I set before her. I would never want to use anyone else. She is the best.

I asked several personal contacts for a good, no great, lender litigating attorney representing the borrower. Audrey Powers Thornton's name consistently surfaced, with amazing positive feedback. I retained Audrey to address serious lender wrongful actions. Audrey explained her review process in setting levels of expectations to determine if I had a valid complaint against the "big bad commercial bank/lender". I rec'vd a call back very next day validating I had a case.
Both Audrey and Heather (paralegal) were always readily avail. to respond back to all my calls & emails, & did so proficiently. Within THREE days (literally), Audrey prepared a sterling demand letter based on her discoveries; (1) Misapplied mortgage pymts (2) Wrongful foreclosure as a direct result of misapplied pymts and (3) Lender had violated numerous CA lending laws and consumer' rights. It was comforting to know this firm collaborated with ea. other. Chuck Kohler esq and partner, also added value to my case.
It is so RARE to find a lending litigator attorney who is intelligent, timely, dedicated and knowledgeable with Calif. lending and civil laws. Audrey is an attorney who goes to bat for her clients leaving no stone unturned. She provided me with exceptional & honest advice, reasonable fees, but most importantly, Audrey truly is extraordinarily kind and caring to her clients.

I was referred to Audrey by another lawyer and had not met her or her partner Chuck before. I was wary and tired of battling with the bank who foreclosed on my home without notice. Audrey's is calm, assured and knows her law. She looked at my circumstances and found that the bank was in breach of contract and had bad business practice. My case had merit and she won my house back for me!! The judge himself told me that I had a "Really Good Lawyer" and that only 3% of the cases he hears actually have merit. Audrey found the merit and made my case plain to the court and fought hard to help me regain title to my home. How does one begin to fight the " Big Bad Bank" and win her home back AFTER the bank has foreclosed on it??? Ask Audrey and her team at Thornton - Koller. All is not lost, when you fight for what is right you can topple the giant with a nugget of truth.

Five years ago my daughter hired a divorce attorney who failed to complete several legal procedures - she needed a new lawyer. Audrey Thornton was recommended to me by a friend who happens to be one of the top lawyers in So. California. I hired her and within days she organized the "messed-up" procedures and fashioned a wonderfully beneficial resolution. I was greatly impressed with her kindly manner and professional skills.
I currently have a rental problem and my first thought was to call Audrey.

As a business attorney, I knew I needed to prepare a trust and did not want to attempt being my own attorney. I utilized Patty instead and she was knowledgeable, diligent, and even went above and beyond looking into what I needed to set up a practice manager for my own business in the event of my death or incapacity. Being the client in this situation was eye opening and I could not have asked for a better attorney than her.
