Ms. Galustians was an outstanding attorney in defending my brother. She was diligent, sharp, well prepared, respectful and everyone respected her in court during our court hearing. She was so organized that even the judge commended her for being such a devoted advocated for her clients. Bravo!! Much appreciated!!

Christine has just been amazing. I had a lawyer that was supposed to expunge my records years ago but did not and I kept getting barred from job opportunities. Christine explained to me the situation and took care of everything. I haven't been able to visit my family in Canada in ages and I finally have the ability now. I am ever so grateful.

A friend of mine told me about Gankin Law Corporation and how Gene helped her when she was in a similar situation. I hired him as a property damage lawyer and he managed to overcome the troubles given by my insurance company, the claim was successful and all of the costly repairs are covered. Thanks a lot

I hired Ellie Sweeney from the law offices of Michele Gibson in Encino to represent me in my divorce. She was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy that I hired her. My Divorce turned out to be high conflict and was taken much further than it needed to go as we came to an agreement regarding the custody of our child early on in the proceedings. Ellie works very closely with Michele and they took the fear and uncertainty about my future away at our very first meeting. I left their office feeling positive about my situation for the first time in months. Throughout my divorce Ellie had to deal with two lawyers hired by my ex husband that she faced with courage and professionalism at all times. I always felt she did her best for me and was pleased with the outcome of my divorce as I felt it was fair. I would highly recommend either Michelle Gibson or Ellie Sweeney to anyone going through a divorce and custody situation and will not hesitate to contact them again in the future should my situation change.

Jelisaveta is one of the most amazing attorney's I have ever met. I was going through a terrible 3 year divorce. All the other attorney's only cared about racking up more fees. Not settling. A friend of mine recommended Jelisaveta. She was there for me 100%. She tried her best to keep fees down. She is very compassionate, smart, and knows which angel to approach any situation. These women are kind "Pit Bulls with Lipstick". When we finally went to trial, I will never forget Jelisaveta words "I am worried about you, do not worry. I have your back". She most certainly did. After my case if I was her I would quit! It was the biggest nightmare ever, and she stood by my side and made sure we prevailed. I strongly recommend her.

Mr.Ananian was highly recommended to me by a couple of friends who both have used him as their representation in the past. Unfortunately, this was not my first accident. And unfortunately, Mr.Ananian wasn't my representation for my first accident. As a lawyer he has a few extremely rare characteristics I wish not only more lawyers would possess, but also just more everyday people. When you meet Mr. Ananian for the first time you can tell he's genuinely a good person! For about 8 years my job included interviewing and screening strangers to conclude whether they were "good" people - Trust me, when I tell you he's genuinely good and kind, he really is. With him, I never had the feeling that I was a money-making-machine, but rather that I was a person who had the misfortune of going through a horrible experience due to the accident. He is the only lawyer that took his time with me. Not only did he answer all of my questions into detail, every single time, but he was just as attentive to my husband. So many times I called his office, and to my surprise when he was at the office, he would take my calls. The fact that my lawyer would take my calls immediately or get back to me in a timely manner was just shocking... in a very pleasant way. That was a very new experience for me and certainly unique to Ananian Law Group. I know I won't receive this kind of care at any other law firm - Sadly so. Mr.Ananian monitors your case very closely. No matter at which stage my case was, he was always on top of it. He kept me updated on the progress of my case - something I had to run after in the past with other lawyers. Mr. Ananian and Ananian Law Group is extremely well organized and punctual, unfortunately both features are not that common in law firms. Lawyers I have dealt with in the past, with the exception of Mr.Ananian, have usually this flair of slight arrogance. I'm not sure if that's strategy, but I just prefer down-to-earth people. With that said, I don't appreciate it when businesses book appointments only to have you arrive and make you wait half an hour in the lobby. Punctuality is my pet peeve and that is just a disrespectful and unprofessional way of doing business. Thankfully, my experiences with Ananian Law Group and Mr.Ananian himself was always with utmost respect to my time. As you can tell, I really had a great experience with Ananian Law Group and Mr.Ananian himself. I do recommend him highly! You owe it to yourself to book a consultation with him, just so you can affirm my review. I really hope I won't ever need a Personal Injury lawyer, but it's safe to say not only would I hire him again, but I'd recommend him to all my family and friends, as well.

When I needed legal help with a very stressful and emotional employment discrimination problem, at first I didn't know who to go to, who to trust, then other attorneys recommended Joseph Avrahamy, citing his excellence, integrity and compassion for his clients. They said he's not afraid of difficult cases. Mr. Avrahamy handled my case with remarkable skill, concern, great passion, dedication, and a true belief in me, his client. He understood and recognized how important this case was to me, as it was to him as well. I can't express how grateful I am and will always be for what he accomplished. As stressful as it was, "we" went all the way, through a jury trial, and won in our favor. That meant so much to me, to finally prove, among unbiased peers, that I had been wronged. I have no regrets, and am so happy that I choose Joseph Avrahamy to handle my lawsuit, as it was and still is a most important decision in my life, and impacted my present and future life.

I am not sure that 4000 characters for this response would be enough to explain my case and what Joseph (Yosi) Avrahamy did for me. It was a very long and complicated matter. Yosi represented me in an employment case against a major police department that I worked for. The allegations consisted of harassment, failure to promote, discrimination and retaliation. Fighting my particular law enforcement agency is one of the most difficult battles that one can take on. They don't play fair and will stonewall and lie at every turn to win. My case was no exception. However, Yosi was unphased by all this and stood by me from beginning to end. He believed I had a good case and never wavered in his support of me. The battle was long and I always felt that I was a part of the process. Yosi kept me informed every step of the way, which is huge when you are going through something as stressful as a lawsuit. Many lawyers do not do this. I know because I worked around a group of lawyers before I found myself in the precarious position that I was in. Yosi is the exception (in a good way) not the rule for most lawyers. And finally and most importantly, Yosi never made you feel that money was the most important thing to him in the case. By this I mean, that he actually made you feel that what happened to you mattered while also trying to win your case for you and achieve a satisfactory monetary outcome. In the end, my police department settled out of court with me. Something that they do not do unless they think that they could actually lose and lose big. They are very stubborn that way. It was Yosi's expertise and past victories that made them think twice about trying the case before a jury. I would highly recommend him. He is a great lawyer, but more importantly, he is a great person.

When one finds themselves in need of an attorney, what they really are in need of is good direction. Mr. Avrahamy helped me see that direction very clearly and built a methodical plan of action that never lost track of the bigger picture, which is not being taken advantage of. I am very comfortable giving Joseph Avrahamy my highest recommendation, without reservation, to handle your legal needs.

Barry doesn't lay-down for the low-balling insurance adjusters. All of my previous attorneys have...they have bills to pay. They don't care if you only get 30-50% of what is due to you. They need the cash more than you. Barry is positioned to wait it out, and go to trail if necessary with any stubborn adjuster. Sorry adjusters, your bonus will be a little smaller this year.

My Case started in 2011 and it has been a very rough road. But Mr. Zelner was very confident all during the Process. I use to wonder how can he sit there so calm in these depositions and these people are not being honest. I personally wanted to say something. He always advised me to be quiet and I did. Much to my surprise at the end all of those lies that were told , were evaluated by a Medical Expert. And those lies were shredded into pieces. Even when it didn't look good he never gave up. I highly recommend him. To those of you who are probably like me and want honest unsolicited feedback. This is it. Thanks Attorney Zelner

Mako was our guiding light during our darkest days. With our home under threat of foreclosure, my wife and I were under a lot of stress and needed a very knowledgeable and caring person like Mako on our side. Mako handled our case in a highly professional and compassionate manner. He was very enthusiastic, friendly and always took the time to explain everything we needed to know. Mako was always patient, explaining in clear layman's terms all the nuances and legalities of our case. His detail-oriented approach was critical in getting our petition approved and granted. Mako's professionalism, compassion, work ethics and legal knowledge are outstanding. He is definitely an asset to anyone needing legal guidance - and one who deserves my highest praise and commendation.

He has been very good to me in helping in my bankruptcy. He is one of the only lawyers who will tell you the truth about what type of bankruptcy to file. I thought at first I made too much to qualify for chapter 7. Mako reviewed my records and informed me that I DID qualify for chapter7. He and his law firm are very thorough and prepare you for anything that could come up in the meeting of the creditors. I highly recommend him.

Recently I was in a car accident with my wife. My mom who is 88 years old called me around 11 pm telling me that she doesn't feel good, called 911, and they are taking her to hospital. We jumped in car and start driving from Reseda to West Hollywood. While going down Reseda Boulevard we were t-boned, the car was totaled - my wife sustained neck and lower back injuries and I had problems with the left side of my lower body and lower back. The driver in other car had neither driving license, nor insurance. The situation was pretty creepy!! A friend of mine suggests calling Spektor Law Corporation and they were quick to get my wife and me in touch with some good doctors. It helped that they were always reaching out to update us on the status of the case without us having to chase them down. We were frightened that we would get stuck with major medical bills, but they took care of us negotiating bills and we felt that we were in capable hands. We're happy with our settlements, because we feel like we came out on top. These lawyers are very professional. I would definitely recommend this office to family members and friends.

I met with several lawyers and he has been the best. I am a small business owner. The IRS was trying to say that I owed over 90k in taxes due an audit which i was was represented in effectively. He saved me and my family. Also, he set up an estate plan for me so that my family and the business would be taken care of in the event that anything happens to me or the business.

My corporation was referred to Resnik by another Chapter 11 Corporate Bankruptcy Super Lawyer during the California fires. Boy am I glad they did! I had my consultation with Hayes. He answered every question I came with very accurately and honestly. He didn't rush, was very compassionate, and clear on what we should expect. They handle Chapter 7, Chapter 11, and personal bankruptcies. They also provided me with a very detailed review to determine what path to follow. Frankly, we were incredibly stressed going in and they made us feel comfortable and protected throughout! Following the review, hired the firm and we worked with Resnik and had plenty of time to sit down to review everything with him. They're very sharp, assertive, and experienced lawyers. Somehow, they manage to remember all the exacting details of your case like you're their only client! I know another firm that worked with them through a long, contested Chapter 11 filling and they had very positive feedback as well. Some lawyers will give you a low ball offer and then catch you with more costs later on. I always disliked that approach! Simply doesn't happen in my experience with this firm. You get a clear up-front cost and they're super fair, compassionate, and attentive throughout! I couldn't have been happier with them. Feel free to contact me direct and I'd be able to provide a verbal recommendation as well!

This guy knows the law.. went to court and watched this attorney break out a legal code book and show the D.A.. She was shocked not knowing the law as well as him and agreed to a simple civil violation.. Also rescued me from hiring some scam artist in Santa Monica claiming to be a famous legal service but was nothing but a broker. I would recommend him for any trouble your in, tickets, legal, etc.

So grateful to have found Negar Mohajer! Her professionalism and understanding was beyond what I could ever hope for. Negar first assisted me with a personal expungement, however that branched to several other business related disputes that she took care of. She is down to earth yet equipped with the expertise and an adeptness to get things done. Having worked with several lawyers, I can confidently say she has been the most communicative lawyer I have encountered. I wholeheartedly recommend Negar to anyone! She's simply the Best!!

Attorney Fassazadeh is my savior! She helped me with several traffic tickets and got all of them dismissed. She also got me a very large settlement for my car accident. In addition, a vendor wrongfully charged me and she was able to reverse the charges. She is very caring, helpful, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her. I have sought her representation for all of my cases.

I was involved in a pretty serious automobile accident. I thought that other party was totally at fault. Unfortunately, the other party's insurance carrier would not pay for my property damage, my car rental or my medical bills. Dennis Rosenstock was able to obtain all the monies I was entitled to receive including a large sum of money for my pain and suffering. He worked very hard on my case and always took all my telephone calls when he was in the office or promptly returned them when he wasn't.
