I spoke with Mr. Gwire today about my complex legal malpractice case. I had been having problems finding an attorney to represent me. He declined to take the case, but he is the only attorney who took the time to explain in detail the difficulties of my case. I felt respected, and that meant a lot to me. If I ever need an attorney in the future, he will be the first on my list to call.

The Gwire legal team including Mr. Gwire and Ms Batista represented us in an accounting malpractice case. They were very thorough in figuring out the issues, they obtained the appropriate specialists, were conscious of costs and tough in the mediation that finally allowed for a settlement. Overall a great team to have on your side.

Having read all 17 previous 5star reviews, I concur with so many praises of the experts at Gwire Law Offices. Rather than reiterate much of the same, I will try & explain to some depth why reviews are so favorable in the hopes of enabling others to make more informative decisions that can otherwise prove too costly.
From first contact with any of the professionals at the Gwire Law firm, you will get an impression that they truly are a different kind of law firm. Something you will come to appreciate should you find yourself in their good graces.
With no end in sight to the time & money spent, the closure you need with your legal woes relies heavily on your choice of attorney. Never more is this true than in cases involving ethics or professional responsibility and the likes thereof. When faced with the daunting task of whom you can finally trust to put an end to it all, the absolute most important thing to keep in mind is each attorney's TRIAL EXPERIENCE.
There is NO SUBSTITUTE for trial experience & understandably so. With the threat of a trial approaching & all its preparatory work looming, the pressure to settle builds up to reach a critical juncture that separates "the men from the boys". Thus offering a first glimpse into exactly how Bill Gwire & his staff truly excel. The reason being simply that Bill Gwire works with select attorneys, law professors and other professionals who not only enjoy, but thrive on going to trial. Guided by a strong sense of moral obligation, he never take a case he's not prepared see through to trial and beyond via appeal if needed. Further proof of his commitment and confidence in the merits of each case. As others have said, he's NOT doing it for the money.
Very few cases ever make it to trial. This limits most lawyers from gaining the experience that only a trial can truly provide. In every state, the percentage of civil cases filed that make it to trial are so low (even below 1% in some states), that it's no wonder so many lawyers are intimidated by and even afraid of trials and experienced trial lawyers. Given such limited opportunities to go to trial, YOU CANNOT AFFORD THE TIME OR MONEY FOR A LAWYER TO LEARN ON YOUR BEHALF. Unlike most lawyers, Bill Gwire enjoys the challenge & opportunity to go to trial. This is best manifest by his passion & the satisfaction he gets from helping people ultimately validated by countless trial victories. Whether it be pro bono work or a high profile case, he approaches each case equally motivated and driven. This is what sets him apart & by itself serves as good reason for your consideration.
Of equal importance are skills best revealed by Bill Gwire when at the negotiating table. He was able to magically increase the final jury award after our trial by simply leveraging logic to the tune of an additional $40K+ without a single concession on our side! All without the need of a lengthy appeal! Still feeling the award was below his own expectations, he REDUCED his fees to a point that may have barely covered his costs. Embarrassed by his charity, he effectively UNDER-BILLED me! The fact that insurance companies and even people he has sued before try to hire him serves as a testament to his reputation as a skillful negotiator.
While communication skills & experience in handling complex negotiations may often prove to be critical, true trial experience is ultimately most vital when considering any kind of lawyer to see your case to the very end. For me, William Gwire was that lawyer. It's no accident you are finding such positive reviews of his. Whatever you read or heard that referred you to consider the unique brand of services offered by the Gwire Law Offices was for good reason. So too is the reason I spent the time explaining why. Reason being no matter how many 5 star reviews Bill Gwire accumulates, it will always seem inadequate for those who have journeyed with him to somehow reduce it all down to a measeley 5 stars.

I am a small business owner. I retained Attorney Chen to set up my business in California. Attorney Chen provided a legal consultation to me, and helped me choose the right corporate form. She advised me that LLC was the best way to control a two-owner family business, and I accepted her advice. Attorney Chen charged a reasonable legal fee for business incorporation and she responded to my inquiries promptly. I have recommended her legal service to many entrepreneurs who also wanted to open a new office in California.

Mr. Toney is an absolutely amazing attorney. I’m a SSG in the U.S. Army. I was selected for promotion in 2014 to the rank of SFC. I received a General Officer Memorandum of Reprimand for a offense I did not commit and the GOMOR caused me to lose my promotion and ultimately be recommended for separation under the QMP. Due to the fact I was selected for QMP I was automatically labeled as a bad Soldier and was not going to be in the Army much longer. I sought legal guidance from Mr. Toney and it was the best decision I have ever made in my military career. Mr. Toney linked me directly with the personnel I needed to talk to and he submitted two packets to DASEB on my behalf and was successful on both requests. Mr. Toney directly contacted the general officer who gave me the GOMOR and explained why it was wrong. He then asked the officer to contact DASEB on my behalf to remove the GOMOR, which he did. Mr. Toney is not just the best military lawyer you could ever hire, he is an amazing person who will guide you through tough and overwhelming times. The worse feeling in the world is that you’re going to lose a 17-year career and retirement and have to start over. Mr. Toney saved my career and my retirement. I cannot thank him enough for the tireless effort he has put into my career, my future, and my family’s future. We are now going to work to get my promotion restored!

Erin provides legal assistance when my former spouse sued for additional child support. Overall, I found her level of engagement & help ver disappointing. It seemed as if she was minimally engaged. Perhaps she was distracted by more important cases. Her biller was very engaged and was happy to send quite large bills.

Levine Family Law represented me beautifully. They listened to me...they truly helped me...they earned my trust through their knowledge of the law, their obvious respect for me as a client, and their quick action. I was able to help with some of the research which not only saved me a bit of money, but made me feel involved, empowered, and engaged in the process.
I got great advice on how to do a search for a great attorney and the result of that search was Erin Levine. My previous attorneys had completely flaked out on me. I needed a really good attorney to fix what they had blundered. I needed help in getting my ex-husband to give me what he had owed me for years and had refused to hand over. I needed someone to keep him from attempting to bully me anymore. I got all of these from Levine Family Law.
I went to Levine Family Law feeling scared and nearly powerless, but after I hired them I felt represented and hopeful. Now that my divorce is final and I am getting back on my feet, I feel free and very happy with the results they achieved on my behalf.
I would recommended them in a heartbeat.
I thank Erin Levine, Stan Sarkisov and the team at Levine Family Law for making what can be a terribly painful process a lot less stressful.

I would give fewer stars if I could but unfortunately one is the lowest. Thomas didn’t even know the legal definition of a victim. When I explained my situation to him, he couldn’t understand the simple concept that professionals must be liable for breach of data, negligence etc. He defended this company “X” saying they were victims too - there has to some form of HARM (physical, monetary etc) for company X to be considered a victim (google it!). The only people harmed in this situation were my husband and I; in fact, Company X made money. He didn’t seem to grasp this simple concept. Don’t waste your time and talk to more knowledgeable lawyers. PS, his system for clients is easy to breach for hackers since he seems to see no flaw in how company X handled things, so I would be very wary of my personal information if I were a client of his.
