We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Beatrice Phan and her legal assistant, Helen Pak, prepared my estate documents (trust, will, POA, etc). The whole process was "painless". I will use them in the future as needed and I recommend them to anyone needing estate legal planning services.

Miguel assisted me preparing an easement to allow me to sell my primary residence without issue. I also regularly call Miguel for corporate matters associated with the running of my mortgage brokerage business and real estate firm. Miguel is wonderful to deal with – responsive and his advice is always sound and researched. He is a great sounding board, he is accessible and his fees are fair. I recommend Miguel.

Attorney Atoosa Vakili is a true Angel sent by God. She did outstanding legal work in our immigration case and our daughter.
If I had to recommend a lawyer to anyone, it would be Mrs. Vakili without any hesitation.
My journey to becoming a permanent resident has been a very stressful one, but after my wife and I hired Mrs. Vakili, she laid everything out for us and helped us every step of the way. We started from nothing, and Mrs. Vakili worked very hard with us, even though we had less than a month to prepare. She was available any time we needed her (even on holidays) and always made sure we were on top of what we needed to do. She treated us like family, guided us through this case, and gave us a lot of life advice because we are just a very young couple who needed a lot of help. Mrs. Vakili was there for us in more ways than we can even imagine, and we are so thankful that we met her and could work with her. We both agree that this was the best decision we have made by far. She is passionate about her cases, just as she was with ours, and was determined to come out of it successfully. She gave us the hope and confidence we needed when we thought we couldn't do it anymore. We recommend her to anyone that needs immigration service, and we are delighted that Mrs. Vakili represented our daughter and us.

I am a psychotherapist, and was assigned Calkins by my insurance company to help with a case where a client's parent was harassingly subpoenaing me for irrelevant cases, for years. Calkins was friendly and professional on the phone, came to court with me, eased my and my client's day with her warm friendliness, and then walked into the courtroom and fixed the situation with the judge in about two minutes. She even charmed the plaintiff. My experience could not have been more pleasant or efficient. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

I have been a practicing attorney for 20 years and was referred to Mani Dabiri from a colleague to assist me in obtaining a restraining order. From first consult through successful judgement, Mani was top notch. Professional, knowledgable, available, understanding and efficient. These are the characteristics that make a great attorney stand out from a good attorney. Hopefully I never need to hire him again but if circumstances arise, he would be my first call.

I feel so privileged to have had such exemplary representation at what was the lowest point in my life. Mani quickly developed a sound legal strategy and implemented it successfully over the course of several months. Since I lived in another state, Mani had to advocate on my behalf. He made sure tominimize the number of times I had to fly in to physically appear.
Mani was so compassionate to me and my wife throughout the entire process. He was able to work effectively with the court to secure the best possible outcome. Our kids would have had a very different future had their father and sole provider been incarcerated for years. Thank you Mani.

Tracy has been more than just an attorney to me. She really has been a friend. She helped me maintain a positive attitude throughout the entire grueling process that has been my divorce and subsequent custody battle. There's no way I was an easy client to work with but she put up with me and stayed motivated through it all.
Thank you Tracy. Words can't express what it's meant to me to have you by my side through all of this. You're an absolute professional and I'd recommend you to anyone.

Tracy was amazing. She helped me through a high conflict divorce and was always there to answer any questions I had. Her fees were extremely reasonable, especially considering the amount of time and effort she put in. Unlike many other people in her field, Tracy is in law for the right reason; to help people. Thanks, Tracy!

Kenneth Chung is an outstanding attorney and I would highly recommend him. The first time I spoke to Kenneth Chung was over the phone. I was greeted with the utmost courtesy, care, and attention. He was very patient as he listened to me, asking clarifying questions to really understand my problem. He showed interest in my case and spent almost an hour with me on the phone. I've spoken to a couple attorneys before him and they wouldn't give me the time of day. Kenneth is the opposite! I can tell right away he was not about money. He genuinely wanted to help me and guided me through how the case and process would go if we pursued litigation. He was extremely knowledgeable about the law and made me feel so comfortable within the first 15 minutes of talking to him. Because of this, I hired Kenneth to help me with my case.
I came into his office and sat with him for over an hour as we discussed my case in more detail. Kenneth actively took notes. Throughout the case, Kenneth was highly responsive, answering emails almost immediately. His attitude did not change from before and after I signed on with his services, which is a fear of many consumers (people being nice to sell their business and change after you commit). Kenneth continued to display professionalism, care, and attention throughout the case. He treated my case with urgency, much quicker response times than I expected. His email communication are so well written, descriptive at every step, and contained all the needed information (including attachments) for me to review. At a pivotal time in the case, Kenneth was very transparent with the challenges I would face if we kept going. He is the most HONEST attorney I've even seen. Often times, you hear stories about crooked or money hungry lawyers. I can assure you Kenneth is NOT one of them. He was there to help me and I had 100% trust in him. He never pushed or rushed me to make a decision and have always provided me pros and cons of each option I may take, giving me full understanding of the cost, benefits, and consequences of each path.
When the case was over, any unused portion of the retainer fee was refunded to me immediately. I can't say enough about genuine and friendly Kenneth is. Such a professional guy and a great person to work with. Again, Kenneth is not about money but helping people. He didn't charge me some of the time he spent helping me which was huge! I recommend Kenneth Chung to anyone seeking help. You can trust him. He is a good guy and will take care of you. You won't be disappointed. I'll use him again when I need legal advice and would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Mr. Chung is one of the finest attorneys you will find. I was in a position to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. I had talked to three other attorneys before talking with Mr. Chung. One of the other attorneys told me I could win my case, however, I was in a defensive position. Mr. Chung and I had a very well paced conversation about my case. At one point during our talk he felt I needed a more elaborate explanation of a pertinent point he was explaining to me. He politely paused our progress in the talk, and explained in more detail his concern. As it turns I could pursue my case from a positive position rather than defensive. What a huge thing for me! He knows what the opposition will be using against you and can consult you as to the correct approach in your concern. I totally recommend this man to all entities, small or single like me, you will have comfort knowing he is there for you. If you read this, give him a call. You will be happy you did!

Mr. Kenneth Chung was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable! He truly cared about the situation I was in and did not count every minute but was concerned about a positive outcome rather than billing. Not to mention, he really understood the legal issues relating the problem I was facing and helped me successfully navigate through some difficult waters. Responsive, knowledgeable and reasonable rates are among his qualities. I'll keep his contact information handy!

After an almost fatal slip and fall 5 years ago, my husband found Briny. Briny helped with every step of the incredibly long medical process (4 surgeries, countless medical devices, home care, etc.)
Once we were assigned a court date, Briny brought in Greyson Goody to assist in depositions and trial preparation. I truly do not think I could have gotten through this very long nightmare without all of his help. Briny has become a friend, a dear one, along with being the best lawyer you could possibly ever want.

I first met Paul about 6 years ago when I was trying to get my dughter back from her grandparents in Texas. The process for me took about 3 years total but Paul was only involved over the final year.
Before Paul I went through an attorney who wasted about 18 months of my time and probably $20 k. Paul got the job done in a fraction of that cost and time and he had to do a lot of research on Texas laws to accomplish this (my previous lawyer did none of that). I am convinced that had Paul been my attorney from the start the seperation from my daughter would have been a year at the most.
Since then I have recommended Paul to several friends and family members and will continue to do so. I have also used him for advice on different matters such as lawsuits and labor issues.
Paul is also very fair when it comes to costs and will pull no punches when discussing these matters. If something is going to take time and/or money he will be very up front with you but will work with you too. If he feels you have no chance to win he will not take your money or give you false hope. He is very up front.
Paul does not like to lose, but this doesn't mean he won't take on a hard case. He is a bulldog and if you decide to retain him for any matter he will go to the mat for you and relentlessly do what it takes for you to walk away happy.
I give Paul an overall excellent rating. I gave him a "good" rating on resposive but he was probably better than good. Surely the fact that he can handle just about any type of matter and he keeps pretty busy made his respose time a little longer than I wanted. With that said, he probably had 20 things going on at once while I was concerned only about my one item.
In a nutshell, I wouldn't hesitate and in fact have hired Paul again for any of my legal needs. He has proven to me to be very competent but just as important in this field he is trust worthy.
If you have a need for legal representation Paul Ultimo is the person you want to hire.

Paul was very understanding and compassionate throughout my entire divorce proceedings. He always had my best interest in mind and fought diligently for me and my children. Paul was constantly trying to make my out of pocket expenses as minimal as possible and was very fair to me regarding those expenses. Paul had great knowledge of applicable case law regarding my situation and was able to obtain the most fair settlement that we could hope for. I have recommended his services to my friends and family already before this service became available. Paul was very professional in his dealings with all parties and when it came time to be tough in the courtroom, he was still extremely diplomatic and respectful which I believe helped me in receiving the best results possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Ultimo.

John has quite the impressive resume, especially for someone who looks quite young (turns out he's not quite as young as he looks). I was referred to him by another attorney (who I trust deeply) and looked at his reviews on other sites, which were also good. John really took the time to understand my family's dynamic, and found solutions that achieved all of our goals. I've now referred him to one of my neighbors and one of my close family friends.

... I was never in a legal situation like this before in my life so when I called Stan I was overwhelmed, stressed and scared. I did not know what to do or who I could trust. After our initial phone call I felt relieved , focused and confident I found the right Laywer for my case. Stan fought for me when I was unable to fight for myself. Stan’s confidence and strength gave me hope justice would be done...and it was! Stan fights for us and gives a voice to women everywhere!!! I am extremely happy with my outcome. Thank you for everything

Last year I had an employment related issue and knew Stan was just the guy to call. I have consulted with him on several issues over the years and he has always been honest and supportive.

Stan turned a very stressful situation into a successful win for me and I am very thankful. I recommend Stan to anyone in need!

Before Stan, I had searched or talked to other lawyers and these lawyers kinda talked down to me and made me feel like my case was pointless without hearing my statement. They just assumed. When I came across Stan, he responded immediately and sat and listened to my every word. Made me feel like I was truly valued and that my case wasent something "pointless". He put real effort in my case and kept me updated when need be. And when I needed an answer, he gave it to me straight forward but not harsh where he's talking down to you. Long story short, I won my case because of my lawyer.

I found the office to be very Professional from the start. Organized and ready to get any and all information from the first meeting and communicated when needed to keep everything moving forward. I was guided to what I may be in for when going up against the City. Allegra was always reachable, not once did she fail to follow up on any issues. If I ever needed any assistance that is in firms field, I would be calling Allegra first and often without hesitation. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case. Thank You Allegra and the team you work with.

My experience with Greer & Rineer Law was a life-changing one that will never be forgotten. In my situation I was dealing with a landlord who owed me back rent due to the fact that my apartment had been an illegal unit. The city made him close down the place and pay me to relocate but it also became apparent that I was owed back rent. When the landlord found out that I was going to pursue getting back some of my rent he began threatening me with all kinds of things that people with lots of money tend to do. He told me that he would sue me with lawyers that were way more expensive than what I could afford and used all kinds of supposed terminology and fake paperwork that he sent to me showing that I would actually owe him more money if I sought reimbursement. This was a very stressful time for me but, when I was referred to Allegra's Law Firm it was then that everything immediately started to de-escalate and I in turn began to de-stress. The best thing I can say about Allegra's Law Firm is that she and her partner never let anything go over my head. A lot of times if you're the layman and you don't understand legal terms and legal jargon it can be very confusing. I find things cmabout the law confusing when I'm just watching on television! Allegra and her partner Kathryn made it very easy for me to understand everything that was going on, they also helped me understand my rights, and they basically made it impossible for my landlord to scare me any longer since I truly knew and was aware of what I was to get back in return. They weren't only my attorneys, they were my advocates. They handle my case precisely and with tact and by the end of it all my life my former landlord decided to settle. I will forever be grateful to Greer and Rineer Law for what they did and how they stopped someone from creating stress in my everyday life.

As others have mentioned here, from my very first call with Lisa I felt much more calm about my situation. She was very organized and reassuring through the whole process. Her demeanor is very calm and she responds immediately. We had to do a Zoom hearing as I don't live in the area, which she arranged against the court's will. Then to add to her professionalism, the judge complimented her on her execution of my case and having all the paperwork done perfectly under unconventional circumstances.
I highly recommend Ms. Kopelman. 10/10

I've never written a Google review before but I had such a positive outcome in my case that I'd like to recommend Ms. Kopelman's practice to those in need of an attorney who can support you through your ordeal. I spoke with a few attorneys when I found myself involved in an unexpected legal mess. I was really frustrated just trying to figure out legal representation, which I've never needed before. Some attorneys were impossible to even reach. I got a lot of answering services. Some attorneys honestly explained why they COULDN'T help me. I was scared and needed help. Lisa Kopelman's name had been given to me by a friend who's son had used her. I left a message with her service at the end of a business day and was shocked and relieved when she called me back the same afternoon.
Lisa made an appointment with me for the very next day and, for the first time since my problem started, I started to feel like maybe there was a way forward. I did not realize the full scope of my situation until Lisa heard me out and put everything into a legal context. I was actually more concerned about some issues that turned out to be more about my reputation than actual legal problems. Lisa distilled the real legal matters and outlined a comprehensive plan of action.
I'm an educator and tried to research the laws and court precedents. I felt pretty informed and totally overwhelmed. That's when a colleague pointed out to me that getting a lawyer is like going to a surgeon. You learn what you can about your condition but you have to put yourself in the hands of the expert when it comes to the actual surgery. So you better make sure you're in the best hands possible. And you have to trust they have only your best interest at heart and they know exactly what you need.
It may sound hokey, but this made perfect sense to me. Once I realized that I had done my due diligence in selecting Lisa, I decided it wasn't helping me or my case to worry constantly. I hired an attorney who I felt had a ton of experience and who would turn over every stone to help me and not miss anything. I can't say I ever felt completely safe during the whole ordeal but I did feel like I'd done all I could and Lisa would take it from there to do everything she could. She was very serious about being thorough.
In the end, I was spared a lot of unnecessary court appearances and Lisa negotiated a resolution, with the other parties involved, that I thought greatly favored me. Not everything went completely my way but I know it went as well as possible. I told Lisa that I hope I never need her services again but it gives me great peace of mind to know she's there.

Lisa defended my son against very serious charges and achieved the outcome we had hoped for while up against a very a formidable prosecution. She is very knowledgeable and highly skilled in strategy and tactics which provides assurance of a superior defense. Lisa is highly capable of defending against the most serious charges. She is realistic and capable of achieving the best outcomes possible. She will find the best defense experts when necessary and when possible. Lisa shows a high degree of commitment to every client. Lisa is a terrific criminal defense lawyer and I would highly recommend her.

Jeff Dawson was hired by me for a very difficult personal injury case. Within a few months he organized my case obtained files and referred me to the appropriate doctors. What a contrast from the previous attorney. I really had a chance to see the difference between a professional well organized attorney and one who does as little as possible. Jeff really went "the extra mile" through mediation and later arbitration. I appreciated the time and energy he put into my case and I will be forever grateful to him.

In 2009 I was in a serious car accident where an uninsured drunk driver doing 85mph hit the car I was driving from behind as I was at a stand still on the 5 fwy. It was a nasty wreak. After getting out of the hospital I was lucky enough to have someone refer Mr. Dawson to me. He met with me immediately and treated me like my case was his number 1 priority. He was very straight with me about what to expect with the process. The insurance on the car I was driving was less than great, only had minimal coverage and like I stated the other driver was uninsured so it was going to be a fight. After all the medical treatment I received over the months to come it totalled out to around $38,000 and the policy only covered $30,000. That doesn't even count for the cost of the car and what Jeff Dawson's legal fee's would be. Jeff and his entire staff stayed in contact with me throughout the claim. It I had a question it either got answered right away or at most within 24 hours. They were all on top of their A game! When the case got settled I was worried about getting everything payed because it was way over the policy limits but Jeff said he would work with the doctors and insurance to get it handled. In the end, all my medical and the car got paid. I even got a call to swing by his office to pick up a check. I still have no clue how he did it but he had a check for $11,000 for me. He had explained in the beginning that if I would have set up my insurance differently, he would have been able to get me a lot more. Jeff is one of the brightess persons that I have met. He genuinely cares about your case and how your handling the situation you've been thrust into. He surrounds himself with the smartest people, great doctor referrals and made a horrible situation a lot less stressful. I have absolutely the utmost admiration for Jeff and the staff he employs. I have recommended him to family and friends. I can't give this guy enough credit, simply an amazing attorney and genuine person. Thanks Jeff Dawson!!!

From my very first interaction with Attorney Wittliff, I immediately sensed how much he genuinely cares about his clients. This was manifested in every encounter I had with him. He never pushed me down one path over the other, and took his time objectively educating me about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to every decision. He pours excellence into his work. He is honest, and displays moral integrity with every interaction. I am very fortunate to have had him guide me through such a difficult situation, and I will forever be grateful for him and his kind and thorough paralegal Ashley.

Jeffrey Witliff is one of the BEST. Kind and compassionate . Prior to retaining him I was able to consult with him and give me my options. From the start he was very transparent on what could happen. He is now my forever family law attorney. He assisted me for a DVRO hearing and trial with my ex fiancé. Mr. Wittliff was able to negatiote and handle the property aspect of my case as well as he is knowledgable about real estate . He is not only experienced but he has clients best interest at heart. Something that stood out to me was his communication and always getting back to me even the same day!

I recently hired Ms. Sanaz Farkhad as my consulting attorney for my divorce and it was an absolute privilege to work with her. My situation was complex since I had been married for over 20 years. From the very first meeting, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional. Her advice was on point every step of the way. What truly stood out was her deep knowledge and expertise. She was able to guide me through the complexities of my case with ease, always explaining each step in clear and concise terms. This not only made me feel confident in her abilities, but also gave me peace of mind knowing that every aspect of my situation was being handled with the utmost care and attention.
Beyond her technical skills, Ms. Farkhad was incredibly kind and approachable. Her empathy and dedication made me feel like more than just a client, she truly cared about the outcome and my well-being throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Ms. Farkhad I achieved an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I was able to complete my divorce amicably and expeditiously in about 6 months. If you're looking for an attorney who combines unparalleled legal expertise with genuine kindness and professionalism, I strongly recommend Ms. Farkhad. She is a rare find in the legal world.

There is no question how difficult and heavily emotional the divorce already is for the person. Having an honest, direct, accessible lawyer who is actually very good and knowledgeable at what he does while being caring is VERY important. Also he is very quick, which trust me is really important in the process. I definitely recommend Pouya to anyone going through this difficult phase of their lives, so they don’t have an extra worry on top of all other heavy changes happening in their lives.

Going through any legal litigation process is daunting and scary. Divorce especially is hard due to the many emotions that are associated with leaving a life behind. The impact it can have on you and your family members can last forever. That’s why it is imperative to find someone who can represent you that you can trust, has your best interest in mind, and will walk you through this painful process. I hired Pouya to help me through my divorce process. He was upfront, honest, and told me exactly what to expect and what I needed to do. Something that stood out to me was how communicative he was and how he was always there to answer any question I had. This is unheard of as most lawyers are impossible to get a hold of. Pouya was instrumental in getting me what I wanted through my divorce and helped me every step of the way. From someone who has gone through this process, I can say without hesitation, Pouya is one of the best out there. I highly recommend him and would not have been able to get through this process without him.

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Mike handled two cases for me over the past six years and both were resolved in an expeditious manor. One case was a Real Estate caseand the other was a Business Law (partnership disolution)case. Mike was fair, reasonable, and honest about the situation we were involved in and did not try to give me unreasonable expectations about our cases. He called it like it was and we were sucessful on both accounts. He understands the California Legal system for what it is and he maneuvered around the obstacles put in front of us. Neither case went to trial, but he was ready to do so. Both cases settlled out of court, but only because Mike was ready to go to trial and his good work was in position to easily carry the day in court. No doubt, he will always be in my corner if I need a lawyer again.

Brodie played an integral role in my recent litigation suit that I would otherwise have never been able to navigate with such drive and acumen.

He made me feel confident that we were thoroughly prepared throughout the legal process and ultimately, ending with my expectations of the matter being met in a very timely manner.

Brodie Smith handled our complex, multi-dimensional case very well. We had a case with an interplay of Federal Trade Commission and business law issues. Mr. Smith juggled these diverse environments with precision, leading us to a favorable settlement ahead of trial. He is an expert at the interplay between Federal and State jurisdiction, which was critical in our case. Most important to me, Brodie passionately pursued justice and truly cared about us. Despite his wide scope of knowledge, he presents himself with humility; always respected our input and thoughts. I highly recommend Brodie Smith, and his firm Lanza Smith, to anyone needing legal representation.

I had a very complicated case which required an aggressive knowledeable litigator. She explained thoroughly what to expect and the emotional course it would take during the process. She did all the right legal procedures and carefully calculated each step. She allowed me to review and be involved in the process to ensure the content presented did properly convey what happened. She emotionally supported me during my depositions and shielded me from the negative depostions from the defendants. She was incredibly strong and persisted tirelessly to expose every inch of the truth and didn't stop until the last minute of finally settling to my satisfaction. She and her staff were thorough, professional, compassionate and cared about me and the affect on my family. Linda is truly ethical and an advocate of the truth and I would highly recommend her.
