My husband was injured at work and was up against a large corporation. Evan Kantz, Esq jumped in and assured him that he was there to help. He was excellent and went to bat for my husband's rights. Evan's expertise and follow through settled the case in my husband's favor. Both monetarily and with future medical. He is the best!!!

During a physically, mentally and emotionally trying time for me I worked with Evan and on my case and he was highly qualified, attentive and professional. He was well versed on my type of case and kept me in the loop during the entire process. I was able to lean on him for full transparency and true facts. He fully advised me on every option, and made me aware of any possible ramifications for my situation. My attorney was always available for me to schedule a call to go over any questions or concerns. I really appreciate the support and guidance I received from Evan. I would highly recommend him and I’m so thankful for the passion and dedication he has shown on my case which has led to great results and a better outcome for myself.

Evan S. Kantz is the best Workers’ Compensation Law attorney I have ever worked with. From our first meeting, he explained everything to me in simple terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our scheduled meetings. I not only recommend Evan, but I guarantee once you have used his services… you too will look no further. He and his great legal team composed by Chris Malter, Alma Oseguera and Robert Mueller, respond in an extremely timely matter, he and his team are very knowledgeable, and trustworthy people. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Evan’s legal services and found he is a wonderful attorney to work with. I could not have been happier with this experience, and I will never go anywhere else. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney in the area of Workers’ Compensation Law, then look no further and ask for Evan S. Kantz at Savin-Bursk Law.

Brian Burns is quite possibly the best attorney on the planet. I have had numerous tickets across LA and OC for every violation under the sun, including multiple misdemeanors incl. arrests, many many front plate/exhaust fix-it tickets (thanks Irvine PD), a state-ref, unsafe lane change, carpool lane, and a bunch of speeding tickets. Brian Burns has never failed to dismiss even a single one. There is not a single point on my driving record. Even the state-ref, which I had a failure to appear for, he showed up for me and proved to the judge that I had corrected the violations and they waived all fees including the fail to appear fee. In all cases, he either fought for me vigilantly with the courts on top of knowing the right people for everything. He has given me super helpful advice as well on stopping myself from getting any more state-ref and exhaust tickets. Brian Burns is single handedly the reason that I can still be a car enthusiast in this lovely state. I recommend him to everyone I know because he's simply the best, and worth it.

Brian is an incredibly effective yet compassionate lawyer. He truly cares for his clients and goes above and beyond to help. I had two cases going on simultaneously, and even though he was paid to just help me on one of the cases-- he still helped me with the expungement of the other case even though it wasn't his responsibility! He was always available via text, call and extremely responsive. If you need lawyer you can trust to fight for you, Brian is definitely your man!

Brian Burns represented me on a serious traffic citation, ineligible for traffic school. I had a very hard time finding a lawyer I could trust. After consulting with many lawyers, I decided to retain Brian to represent me. I was extremely worried and wanted the best representation I could get. I wanted a lawyer who could really put up a fight. After two long consultations, Brian assured me that he would really fight for me. Brian was exactly the type of attorney I was searching for; an attorney who would seriously defend me. Brian clearly illustrated that he wholeheartedly cared for me and wanted to help. I spoke with Brian many times. Brian taught me many great things and provided good advice. He is an exemplary and strong traffic attorney. Brian’s experience contesting traffic offenses is evident. During my time as his client, my conversations with him uncovered diligent strategy, persuasive argumentation, and coherent expression. Brian displayed an impressive talent for communication and argumentation. This is something I admired about him, since, in court, you need an attorney with excellent communication skills. Brian listens well, responds quickly, and keeps you informed. Additionally, his pleasant character makes conversing with him an absolute joy. He's very kind, and I've had a great deal of enjoyment speaking with him. As a law student, Brian taught me valuable lessons about practicing law. Above all, Brian taught me to always remain cool, calm, and collected. I recommend that anyone looking for an attorney consult with Brian. He's a good lawyer. Thank you for everything Brian; it was a pleasure to have you as counsel.

Ms. Bursk was extremely helpful in clarifying my options for me in our meeting. She was to-the-point and quickly led me to the best course of action. For me, the best course of action isn't legal action at this time, but I would certainly consult with her and/or hire her as my attorney if the need arises.

I was mostly impressed with their knowledge and how thorough they were about my questions and needs. I plan to refer all my friends to Anthony Saccaro's office in the future for sure!

The Saccaro law firm is stellar ! The "Best of the Best" ! I saw Attorney Saccaro yesterday for the first time to discuss preparing my Trust and Will. The staff is so kind , knowledgeable, amazing. From the moment I walked into the lovely reception area, with an in depth video by Attorney Saccaro playing, explaining every aspect of estate planning, to a table with fresh coffee, tea, cocoa, bottled water.. When I went into the conference room and met Anthony Saccaro, I was so happy, relaxed, impressed by his great demeanor, care, and experience. He knew exactly what to ask me in preparation for my Trust and Will, wrote all my answers down. He answered every question I had ,and explained every aspect of the process of creating a Trust and Will . I was so worried about this , being a senior citizen with family, and not having done this yet. All my fears were quickly gone after speaking with Anthony. He reassured me that the process was not difficult , and Lisa and Cheri his paralegals would fill out the forms as I gave them info. They were gems ! Went so smoothly, and quickly. I have to return one more time to sign finished documents. Should all be done within two weeks. I felt so wonderful after this experience I did not want to leave. lol If you want the "Very Best" in this field, the most honest, the fairest prices, the greatest peace of mind , then go to the Saccaro law firm and you will see what I mean. (I sound like an ad for them haaaa.. every single word true ! ) Am a retired school teacher, single , property owner, children and grandchildren. A++++++++++ Best experience ever ! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.. thank you Anthony and team , you were a godsend for me 😊

He got me fantastic medical treatment that made me feel confident in my recovery, and made sure that I was financially compensated well as a result of the accident. Zaven is very professional, efficient, and knows the right strategies to help his clients. I’m super happy I chose to hire him and I’ll be recommending him to anyone who needs an attorney.

My profound appreciation for the exceptional legal representation provided by Zaven in the aftermath of a personal injury resulting from an accident is insurmountable. From the outset, Zaven showcased unparalleled levels of expertise and professionalism. The case, which seemed to drag on indefinitely, posed complex challenges, particularly with fault initially being wrongly directed towards me despite evidence suggesting otherwise. Zaven's steadfast argumentativeness and persistence in dealings with insurance companies and the opposing legal team were instrumental. His meticulous approach eventually proved, without a doubt, that the opposing party was at fault. Zaven's mastery in mediation became evident when he efficiently navigated the process, extracting the maximum compensation possible and preventing the need for a trial. His ability to bring the matter to a swift and favorable resolution showcased not only his legal prowess but also his commitment to the best interests of his client. I wholeheartedly recommend Zaven for any legal matters. His exceptional treatment of clients, dedication to consummating legal proceedings for their benefit, and his unwavering commitment to securing justice set him apart.

I am a Legal Document Assistant, registered and bonded per California Business & Professions Code Sections 6400-6415, which authorizes me to prepare and file legal documents for self-represented individuals at a client's specific direction. I have known Mrs. Wilson professionally since 2009, and she is my "go-to" attorney whenever I encounter someone who simply does not fit the "self-help" approach to family law matters. EVERY SINGLE PERSON who I have referred to Mrs. Wilson has always called or emailed me back to thank me profusely for the referral. The consistent theme of the feedback is that Mrs. Wilson was able to efficiently help them, explained the law in a way that they could understand without all of the legalese, and that they found extremely good value for the money they spent on her services (whether on a limited scope consultation basis, or by hiring her for full representation). In essence, the people I have referred to her all have consistently felt the same way as pretty much every other person who has commented below. More specifically, I had a client who came to me to prepare documents in an existing case. After serving the prepared documents on the other side, the other party requested a hearing, at which point I referred the client to Mrs. Wilson for representation. After the hearing, the client called me and personally told me that the client felt that Mrs. Wilson had “accomplished more in one hearing than the client's previous attorney had done over the course of a year and a half”. I would say that this particular comment speaks volumes about Mrs. Wilson's ability as a zealous advocate for her clients.

I had never used an attorney before Mr. Larson so I was not sure what to expect except for thinking the person my family hired to protect me would. Not the case here. Mr. Larson never listened to me nor did he do any of the things he said he would. Months went by and nothing was progressing. I told people about him and they explained to me he was probably a DUMP TRUCK ATTORNEY. I was not familiar with that statement but did find out what it means. The lawyer takes the money then dumps you. Meaning, does none of the leg work. I had to fire him and hire another attorney who really didn't do much better. After that I had a different concept of who you can really trust, NOT TOO MANY, even if you pay them. Time is precious when it comes to proving your innocence and well Mr. Larson wasted mine. I feel his integrity is null and his effort was far less.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
