Richard Berbarian is truly and great guy. My daughter has had an incredibly tough road since birth. In my heart I believe that some of her struggles could have been avoided with proper medical care, but proving it is difficult due to her many health issues. Richard was caring, kind and professional throughout the process. Though we were unable to move forward with the potential case, my wife and I appreciate his honesty and commitment to hearing us out. You’d be hard pressed to find an attorney that cares as much as Richard does.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Emily Lerner for a conservatorship case, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Emily possesses a deep understanding of the complexities involved in conservatorship law.
Emily took the time to listen to our concerns, answered all of our questions thoroughly, and made sure we were informed every step of the way. Communication was seamless. In the courtroom, her preparation and professionalism were second to none, and she presented our case with clarity and confidence. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, we achieved a favorable outcome that has brought peace of mind to our family after 2 years of a long drawn out, emotional & highly contested Conservatorship. We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Emily and her staff have had on our lives.

Emily Lerner is one of the most accomplished lawyers in Estate Planning that I have come across. I have been a lawyer for 45 years and I refer all my clients to her who are looking to plan their estate whether by Will or Living Trust. Most recently, my wife and I went to her as clients. She and her staff were very professional, attentive and explained all the details, what we had to do and what her role was setting up a Living Trust. She simplified the whole process not only for us but for our family. I recommend her without any reservations.

Christine was the attorney I wish I had from the beginning. She is everything you would expect from a great attorney: professional, respectful, responsive, informative, and direct. She also really cared, and invested herself in the case, which is not something I can say about previous attorneys I’ve had.
After getting nowhere for years, I finally got a huge win in parenting time thanks to Christine. She really helped navigate the messiness of the case and made sure I understood everything she presented. She helped keep me focused on the big picture despite the emotional roller coaster the whole process can be. I highly recommend her and will absolutely hire her again if necessary.

Christine Thielo is not only an amazing attorney but an amazing person as well. I felt as though she genuinely cared for my situation and worked hard to get me the best possible outcome, which she did! She represented me in my DV and child custody case and I couldn’t have asked for better. I came to her with quite a bit of history and just one month prior to my next court date. She put the time and effort to review and become completely familiar with my entire case in order to adequately represent me, which she did a great job doing. She explains very thoroughly every option that is available to you and is very honest with each outcome. She is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and tough! She stands her ground and is not intimidated by anyone or anything. She, or her assistant Linda who is also amazing, gets back to you almost immediately. She went above and beyond my expectations, I can’t describe how grateful and thankful I am for her hard work and dedication.

Attorney Georgina Lepe assisted us in completing our living trust. She was very knowledgeable and would patiently explain everything to us in layman's terms, so we had a complete understanding of what we were signing. She is both professional and warm and friendly. It's difficult to find an attorney with this combination. If you are looking for someone to assist you with legal services, we highly recommend Georgina Lepe. An added bonus is that she also speaks Spanish, so we can recommend her to our Spanish speaking friends.

Georgina Lepe is an incredible attorney. After interviewing 6 different living trust attorneys, I came upon Georgina and she was a godsend. My grandmother had terminal cancer and it was a very difficult time for my family, when I meet Georgina I knew she was the one. Georgina was very patient, explained everything very clearly, was able to answer all of our questions, and she made us all feel very comfort with the process. On top of it all she is able to speak Spanish which is my grandparents first language. My family and I were very happy with our experience with Georgina, she is hardworking, knowledgeable, caring, and a good person. I am planning to use Georgina again very soon, she is someone you can count on which nowadays is very rare to find.

This is to express my deep thanks and appreciation for attorney Scott Glovsky. Although Mr. Glovsky is extremely busy handling health care denial appeals against major health insurers across California, he nonetheless took the time to consult with me in depth over a complex matter involving a health insurer's denial of a medically necessary prescription drug denial to a family member.
In addition to Mr. Glovsky's undeniable legal expertise, he is a genuinely nice person, extremely pleasant and easy to talk to. He is a good listener and quickly grasped the situation and gave me terrific helpful advice.
I am an attorney myself, and I have met many attorneys over my career. I must say that Scott Glovsky is a real role model whom more members of our profession should emulate. While some other attorneys may technically know the law in this field, in this age of robots, it is refreshing to meet a real and caring human being who happens to also be a skilled attorney with Mr. Glovsky's expertise.
I therefore highly recommend attorney Scott Glovsky to any consumer in California who is suffering from the effects of a health insurance company's potentially wrongful denial of a benefit that they believe that they are entitled to!
Sincerely, and with gratitude, Carole Kahn, Attorney at Law

The experience that I have had with this office has been absolutely incredible.
I had brain surgery in January of 2023.
Since my surgery, I have had numerous issues arise; from problems with my insurance plan, to incorrect hospital billing, to the lack of proper care by healthcare providers, as well as continued severe headaches and other neurological symptoms post-surgery.
The past year has been a very trying time for me; I have really struggled. During this whole ordeal, there have been only a few professionals who have genuinely appeared to care about the situation I have been stuck in, and who have gone out of their way to try to help me; two of these individuals being Mr. Scott Glovsky and his assistant, Mr. Bruce Kaimo.
It is has been so refreshing to be able to have encounters with such kind and ethical people, especially since I was beginning to wonder if these types of people still exist.
My first encounter with this office was months ago when I was struggling with medical insurance issues. I spoke with Mr. Glovsky’s assistant Bruce, who was very thorough and professional. He explained to me that I had an employer-funded ERISA insurance plan, and even though their office was not able to provide assistance with these types of plans, Mr. Glovsky was still willing to have a phone consultation with me.
When I spoke Mr. Glovsky, he spent the full 15 minutes of the consultation providing me with information about my insurance plan, and explained to me the next steps I should take to attempt to resolve the issue. This was a free consultation; he was aware, going into the call, that he was not going to profit off of my situation, but still chose to help me anyway. This is a sign, to me, of a person who is of very high moral character.
I recently contacted his office again, after a year of struggling, inquiring about the medical situation I am in. His assistant, Bruce Kaimo, responded back to me and was extremely helpful in providing me with information as to how I should proceed.
Based on the experiences I have had, I would not hesitate to recommend this law office to anyone who is seeking legal assistance. If only they took cases in the area of practice that I am looking for, they would be my first choice. I trust them and their advice.

My husband and I reached out to Scott for some advice on what we thought would be a pending lawsuit. He reviewed what we sent him and was able to give us terrific advice and great verbiage to use in our letter. With his help it didn't reach the lawsuit stage. We are grateful for his advice. And if needed would not hesitate to reach out to him in the future.

Marivel helped me through a difficult time after my grandmother passed away. I wanted to protect the assets that were gifted to me and create provisions of my Trust to give to certain charities, as well as have a power-of-attorney and medical directive. I knew what I wanted and she facilitated everything quickly and easily. When I contacted her a couple years later she was more than willing to answer additional questions about my Trust. Thank you for the peace of mind.

My family came to her when our mother's health took a turn for the worse . Marivel was patient especially with my father who did not understand the process and was overwhelmed by all the paperwork. Marivel took her time explaining what needed to be done and broke it down for us. Thank you for your patience and ensuring that our elderly father didn't feel overwhelmed by the whole situation.

When my mother got diagnosed with a terminal disease, my brother and I were so lost. Family and friends told us we needed to get my mother's affairs in order, yet we did not know the process let alone the first step. That is when Marivel came in. My boyfriend had recommended me to her and I called her right away. She made it so easy for us and she came to our home to set everything up. She explained everything we needed to make sure we were all taken care of. She put our minds at ease so my brother and I can focus on the most important thing - to spend as much time we had left with our mother. Thank you, Marivel for all you did for our family. Not only were you available every time we had questions, you were so professional and willing to help. Best of all, you showed us compassion. You treated us as if we were your own family and not just a client.

As business owners, we are often faced with legal matters that can detract us from other business purposes. When such matters have arisen in my company, I have had the good fortune of being able to have my own legal team, Alan J, Leahy and his staff at the Leahy Law Firm, APC.
Alan's knowledgeable experience and cost-benefit analytical approach has consistently delivered effective results. Throughout the years, Alan has proven to be a formidable advocate and legal representative of our company. His knowledgable experience and immediate responsiveness, has enabled me and my company to stay focused on business. Being able to reply and trust counsel to advocate and advise my partners and I, whether the issues are corporate or in litigation, has been a valuable asset to my company.

I have worked with many attorneys in the past and have never worked with an attorney that is so capable. She is very timely, reponsive and kept me informed continuously. She is very strong in her arguements and quite the successful trial attorney. She was extremely thorough in her research on my case. She is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very hopeful that I am never on the opposing side of a case with Geralyn Skapik as the attorney!

I would definately refer her to anyone.

My wife had a stroke and I was in dire need to speak with a legal consultant to get some direction on what type of steps to take next. Danica spent the time needed to help me understand the difference between recoverable vs. non-recoverable damages and details about the litigation process. This really helped put my mind at ease because I did not have a starting point. In the end, she provided a recommendation to consult with a law firm who specializes in my type of use case. I think she knew she was going to end up referring all along, but just the fact that she spent close to an hour with me really shows that she cared! I would definitely recommend her.
