In a word : excellent –
Gary is everything that you could hope for when searching for an entertainment attorney who is both knowledgeable, and sincerely caring.
I first met Gary over 10 years ago when was in need of setting up a production deal with the top television production company. Every step of the way he followed up, was transparent, and insured that contracts were carefully reviewed, approved, and negotiated.

I was referred to Keosian/Berberian Law Group through a friend and it was by far the best decision I could have made. Mr.Keosian and his staff were on top of my case and amazingly helpful through the entire process. I have found his professionalism, integrity and expertise to be exceptional. He put my mind at ease from day 1 and I never had to worry about what was going on. I would receive updates regularly and Mr.Keosian explained every step as we went through it. He is honestly an amazing attorney who wants what's best for his clients and won't stop until he gets it. Nothing was done without my approval and I knew everything that was going on. I cannot recommend Mr.Keosian and his staff enough. If you need an attorney he's definitely the one to use.

It is a pleasure to write a recommendation for Harmon. Harmon is one of the finest lawyers I have had the pleasure to know in my 43 years of practice. He is extremely bright and efficient. I have referred many clients to him and have no hesitation in doing so at any time. I even suggested my own daughter call him. What impresses me most about Harmon is his expertise in many areas. I was comfortable only in real estate transactional work. Harmon is equally comfortable there, as well as real estate (and other) litigation. It was always a pleasure to sit with Harmon and discuss legal theories and strategies.

I would absolutely recommend Mr. Noudel. He assisted me with lease negotiations with one of the largest commercial property owners in the world and worked extremely diligently to get the deal I wanted and make sure I was protected. He truly took ownership of the matter and went above and beyond my expectations.

Susan drafted a family plan for my wife and me---will, revocable trust, healthcare directive, and various related documents. She took the time to understand our situation and wishes and to explain why it is advisable to address things one way versus another. She has a talent for explaining clearly and instills confidence while doing so. Our current situation is not overly complex, but Susan demonstrated deep knowledge of potential complications and crafted a plan that will accommodate various scenarios. She was easy to work with, flexible on when and where to meet (our home, her office), and cared about our family.

My nephew is an attorney and he referred me to Manee for a products liability issue. He told me that Manee is the only lawyer he would trust for any kind of personal injury claim and that he is a super nice guy to work with...Well, I think he might have undersold Manee! From the first phone call, he was compassionate, kind, and very generous with his time. We had a couple of phone calls and exchanged a few emails and it turned out that my case was not a good fit for him, but he called around and found a great firm that looks like a good fit for my situation. I'll always be grateful to Manee for his kindness, knowledge, and attention! If anyone I know is ever injured and thinks they might have a claim, I'm sending them to Manee!

Sonia Amin is amazing she obtained a green card for my husband when other attorneys advised us it was not possible. She not only listen to our situation but found a solution. While in Sonia’s office the atmosphere was nice, friendly and informative. Not only did she help us in our immigration case she also help my brother receive compensation for an automobile accident he was involved in. While in Sonia’s office I overhead clients calling stating that they were former clients or that a client of Sonia referred them to Sonia which made me feel good that her former clients would return and recommend future clients. I truly believe that if Sonia S. Amin cannot help you with your legal problems that no one can because I found Sonia S. Amin to be caring, honest and very informative. I would highly recommend Sonia S. Amin.

This man really really knows his stuff. He studies the case with fine tooth comb. Goes over crazy detail one would not think about. He is extremely responsive. Keeps his client in the loop from beginning to end. I have recommended him to other parents who are having challenges with children with special needs too. He is super understanding and it is very clear he has a heart and compassion for what is in the best interest of children. He is NOT afraid of the big bad school district. He has educated me on my rights as a parent . I feel so much more empowered after having been assisted by him.
He is one of few attorneys I have seen who takes being a lawyer as a privilege and not try to get over on clients. He does not try to nickle and dime parents out of their money. He delivers. And makes the losing school board pay as well.
I met him doing pro bono work at a local agency I got my daughter's developmental screening.
He is super professional, down to earth, breaks the law down, and I dont know that I can give him enough praises. He knows his stuff. He is a beast when it comes to reading medical reports and stuff like that. He gets down to the nitty giritty.

I brought in Aren on a client's litigation matter to prepare us to respond to a complaint. Aren did not want to take the case before analyzing the facts. Once he did analyze, he told me he could likely have it dismissed via a demurrer (response filed at the beginning of the case). He sent us a long list of documents and a list of questions. The case was dismissed within a short time without any additional litigation costs to my client. We were surprised by how small his bill was and paid it right away.
I am again working with him on another matter and needless to say, he is kicking the defendants' behind...
I highly recommend him.

I highly, highly recommend this law firm. I had a workers compensation case that was absolutely valid, but could have been tough to recoup damages from, due to dynamics beyond my control. Attorney Ari Krell did an outstanding job with my case, was clear and concise with all the details and did his best to fight for what I deserved. In the end, I actually received a much higher figure of compensation than I thought I might. If you're looking for a workers compensation/employment attorney in the southern California area, this is the one you want. Thanks a million to Ari and all the staff of the firm. Much appreciation to you all! -Craig

Excellant attorney. He is very ehtical and helped me fight off a slew of attorneys against my ex wife. Her attorneys charged 7 times more than Jeffrey. He really tries to settle your case immediately. Of course , if you have an ex who doesnt and has attorneys who just want to ram up the bill, then again Jeffrey is your option. I would hire him for anything.

Re: Allan J. Sarkin, Attorney At Law, practicing in Los Angeles County
Allan J. Sarkin has been practicing law for over 30 years. I love this guy. He got both of my charges dropped against bad odds. I had 2 charges pending against me for Public Intoxication and Domestic Violence (same incident). I had a prior DUI and a prior Domestic Violence charge I had pleaded No Contest to 3 years ago and was convicted. I also had a prior arrest for DV that was never filed. All dropped. He personally visited the City Attorney for Santa Monica and talked ‘em out of it. Wow!
I highly recommend Allan Sarkin. And he’s not expensive either. $3000 was the total fee.

My wife and I found ourselves in a terrible situation with a corporate landlord who was taking real advantage of us. He came into the situation with such grace, integrity and positive energy, what had become a nightmare actually turned into a saving grace. Thanks to David, we're moving away from renting and into owning our first place. Always available, always returns calls, an all around amazing attorney.

I first met Mr Ross several years ago when I hired him on a civil rights claim against the City. That claim was later settled and I have since hired Mr. Ross on a criminal matter for a family member and recommended him to friends on other matters. Everyone I know has always been impressed by his knowledge and understanding of the law. Of course as Mr. Ross will tell you every case is different and there is never a promise of any outcome. My experiance however tells me that if your going to take a chance then there is no greater lawyer to trust then Mr. Ross.

He kept me informed and answered all my questions and telephone calls. He talked to me like a real person and was compassionate and informative. I felt I was in good hands and trusted him. Hopefully I won't need a criminal defense attorney in the future, but if I do, or anyone I know does, I would recommend him without any doubt or hesitation.

Action Lavitch is hands down the best defense attorney that I have ever had the absolute pleasure of knowing and being defended by. He is the most informative, diligent, and professional lawyer who puts forth actual effort into defending your case.
For my particular case, the incident was taken too trial which can be a more than difficult time for anyone; but Action handles everything like an absolute champion and further more makes sure your taken care of as well as defended properly; all with a smile on his face!
It’s actually super fun too see him at work!
Without Action’s help I can confidently say that I would have lost that case and probably then some: due too the nature of the crime.
Instead I was able too walk away without anything on my record & without fines.
At the end of the experience; truly the best thing was finding my go-too lawyer! For any future case or incident that I find myself needing legal assistance for, I’ll be calling Action Lavitch.
