I used Virginia Landry's office for a DUI accusation against me by the police. Ron's knowledge of the laws and sharp eye caught mistakes made by the police not only when they were on the stand, but in the original police report and on their dash cam. The police's account was inconsistent with the facts and Ron exposed them for violating my 4th Amendment rights. Thanks to Ron, my case was dismissed. Although the police ruined my DMV record and affected my insurance, Ron got me justice in the eyes of the law. Thank you Ron!!

Ron took my case and from the beginning he was a class act. He knew the law, case studies, the science behind the processes for a DUI. I felt comfortable the whole time I was going through this long process of DUI court.
I had a BAC of .24 and thought I had no chance to win let alone to even have a plea offer from the DA.
Was I wrong. Ron man handled the DA and had my DUI dismissed. His knowledge of the law and his ability to maneuver through the court process was impeccable. I have 100% confidence that I retained the best DUI attorney out there.
I strongly recommend anybody who has a DUI to contact his office and make an appointment. You will not regret it!

I was stopped by CHP early November'12 and was found to have a BAC level of 0.12. I was not very hopeful of my situation as the BAC was on the higher side and discussions with several lawyers did not give me any hope. Most of my friends and relatives advised me against a lawyer. However, I wanted to hire one just to have the peace of mind and a satisfaction that I did all I could.
I came across the Law Offices of Virginia Landry online and after getting a positive feedback from some of the lawyers I had discussed my case with I met Ron from the law firm. He did not promise me anything but I was impressed by his technicalities in handling the the DUI situation.
After almost 3 months of pre-trials we were able to file a motion based on the video-evidence that did not show any wrong with my driving and the case was dismissed.
I had asked Ron to plead guilty on my behalf long time before but he persisted based on the evidence he had gathered and as a result of that I feel like a free man.

As a professional engineer in private practice, educator, consultant, and subject matter expert in safety and risk management since 1972, I’ve had an opportunity to provide technical assistance and expert opinions to more than 1,200 lawyers, ranging from sole-practitioners to major national law firms. I only mention this because I believe that few clients know what qualities (beside fees) are truly important when selecting an attorney.
I have almost four decades experience working with attorneys. Personally, I rely on my lifetime learning experience gained while providing administrative law and expert witnessing services when offering my opinions to others looking for an attorney (and on that rare occasion when I need to lawyer). That is, any lawyer (not just the law firm itself) I would recommend or hire must be a good listener, have an excellent professional standing within the legal community, attorneys who love the work more than themselves, and one who will carefully prepare the pleadings, promptly complete discovery, and put the case at issue without needing the court’s probing – then an attorney who wants to get your case in front of the Trier-of-fact and then (utmost importance) be prepared for trail with trial and exhibit binders as well as know the evidence needed to present your case and effectively cross-examine your adversary.
K. Robert “Bob” Gonter is just such an attorney. His professionalism, alertness to details, and presentation of the evidence is why I would place him in the top 10 (if not the top three) attorneys that I’ve had an opportunity to work with. If you want to have a chance to win outright based on the evidence, or effectively present your defense evidence, clients need an attorney who will put your best interests ahead of their own. I encourage the reader serious consider Bob’s expertise and qualifications, and if you want, you may contact me direct (1.800.952.2840).

Very few attorneys listen and understand. Mr. Gonter is one of them. He will listen to you as a person, then make a knowledgeable decision on how to proceed in your best interests, explaining the process along the way. Mr. Gonter did an excellent job representing our corporation and was understanding of our concerns.
Most importantly, he's well respected by fellow attorneys and judges. His stellar reputation and intelligent approach leads to favorable results.
I used to be impressed by descriptions like "aggressive" and theatrical attorneys whose shot gun style ends up more noise than result. But after seeing Mr. Gonter in action, I was convinced his professional and respectful approach separates him from the cookie cutter attorneys in our area. Lots of attorneys will say they "will do this" and "do that" for you, the difference is Mr. Gonter actually DOES whats right and what works. I'm very satisfied as a client.

My business partner took a substantial amount of money from our business account towards the end of our partnership. I had no choice but to hire an attorney to recover my share of assets. Michael knew I was already low on funds and took my case on a contingency basis. Michael's peristence paid off and we settled out of court. Thanks.

Sara is a true professional and joy to work with. I called her about a commercial tenant/landlord dispute that I was pursuing legal action for. I needed advice on how to draft a demand letter stemming from substantial damages to my office. From the start of our conversation, even when I engaged in verbal diarrhea and spewed numbers and facts and negative emotions at her, Sara remained articulate, intuitive, and calm.
She listened to my brain dump of ideas and thoughts and was able to parse out important details that we could use as leverage in the case. She immediately asked for all documentation (emails, contracts, photos, invoices, etc) of my communication with this horrid commercial landlord. Given that I called her on a busy Tuesday afternoon, she drafted a beautiful demand letter by the end of the week. I was flabbergasted and impressed by her level of commitment to MY cause. It definitely put my mind at ease having her in my corner.
Sara is ostensibly sharp, quick-witted, and more than willing to do her homework. I will definitely retain her for any and all future cases for my business and personal needs.

I hired Ms.Gulick for her trademark expertise. The experience was excellent. She explained to me how the trademark process works. She then sent me an email stating what she needed from me to process the application. After she reviewed my paperwork and she saw everything was up to par she collected my payment, and the application was sent. She also handles all communication from there on out with the USPTO!

Howard, as a former County Counsel for the Public Administrator/Public Guardian (PA/PG), handled many very difficult estate matters. PA/PG estates are not straight forward and generally messy but Howard solved all the problems and found a path toward completion so that distributions could be made to the heirs. He is so expert at probate matters that even the Superior Court asked him for advice on occasion when they could not figure out the answer. I have worked with many probate attorneys over the years, so I know a good one when I see him. When the time came to choose a probate attorney for my Mother's estate, I naturally chose the best around and that is Howard. He has solved each problem as it arose, is trustworthly, responsive to my questions and concerns, very knowledgeable and keeps me informed each step along the way. Howard is the best probate attorney in Orange County and I wholeheartedly recommend him. You could not find a better one!

After our attorney retired, I contacted a family friend's attorney. Their offices did not handle conservatorship/trust cases, but told me I was in luck because a very fine attorney, Howard Serbin, had recently retired from the Orange County Counsel. They said I would be lucky to get him. He has been our attorney for nearly four years. Our case is particularly difficult and messy, but Howard has been so supportive, easy to work with, very professional, extremely honest and fair. He is easy to communicate with and timely on all paperwork filed and phone call and email responses. Whenever we are at the court house with Howard he is fequently approached by the staff who are genuinely happy to see him. It is obvious Howard is a respected and admired attorney. I would highly recommend Howard Serbin.

I have known Howard for many years as an associate and client of his. His experience as an Assistant County Counsel for the County of Orange has given him great experience and knowledge of Probate, Conservatorships, Guardianships, etc. for both Orange County and other local counties such as Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego. I was delighted when he retired from OC's County Counsel after many years of service, since he is now free to accept private clients and share his expertise and knowledge of the probate system in the State of California. I would highly recommend him.

I hired Mr. Rothman after several lawyers could not accomplish my needs. Evan helped me form and execute an agreement with my fraudulent and hostile former business partner after our original agreement had left me vulnerable to his unlawful acts against our company. He took a nearly impossible situation and found a way to begin turning it around for me, in my favor. Like I said, other lawyers dropped the ball but Evan was able to find and discover information that previous lawyers had failed to discover, and he had a good instinct on how to proceed with the very delicate situation my business and I were experiencing. Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern,
Recently our company was sued for supposed ADA discrimination, when in fact the business was compliant.
We engaged the services of Evan to help us fight the claim. He contacted the plaintiff and was able to overturn the suit by using his positive attitude, integrity and evidence to dispute the claim.
We put our confidence in Evan's capabilities and were rewarded with a dismissal of the suit. Needless to say, we were more than thrilled with the great results of his diligence in this matter.
Evan is an asset to his organization, as well as the law profession and has earned our highest regard.
Sincerely,

Mr. Stein is by far the best prepared lawyer. I decided to have him represent me because he is very approachable and listened to all my concerns. He was the first attorney I have ever had to work with. I interviewed several other attorneys and they just were not as compassionate to my situation.
Matthew provided excellent service and knowledge to my legal needs. Treating me with the utmost respect and sincerity from the moment we first met. He handled my case expeditiously and remained in close contact by phone and email as needed. No detail was overlooked. He was very persistent in making sure everything was right. He took the time to understand my personality and always spoke to me in a manner that I could easily understand and helped me to appreciate the decisions that were being made. The outcome of my case was way better than anticipated. It was truly a pleasure to work with Mr. Stein and to have him on my side. When, or if, I need legal advice in the future, Mr. Stein will be the first person I call!

Matthew would suggest things to help me make decisions and all his advice was on point. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my case.

I consulted with Eric about a complex property line issue for an investment property of mine. He brought clarity to an otherwise convoluted situation.

When other Lawyers were researched the deciding factor was that Scott Hanssler's persona was benevolent, yet professional.

I was about to be foreclosed on and didn't have a clue who to use. Now someone mentioned another lawyer but when I went on line I saw all the same name so I didn't know which one they were talkig about. So I basically picked on. I was blessed that I ended up picking a good one. I only had about 5 days or even less before the sale date and when i got the call back, they gave me all my options, they were very honest and that let me know what decision i had to make. i decided to file the bankruptcy and they got the paperwork done and sent out and that stopped the sale. To work that fast and hard was a blessing. All of his associates are great. They email you back and call back right away. If you need a good lawyer call Soctt Hannsler's office.

Todd Haddock was an answer to prayer for a very complex and challenging child custody case. This was an intensely painful, frustrating and contentious relationship with the father throughout the months it took to resolve custody. Todd was patient, affirming, honest, realistic, and available at every turn. He explained the various court actions and helped us balance the risks and benefits of each move. His advice was right on. After 3 different judges and countless court dates, we got more than we could have ever imagined or dreamed of. Words can't express the gratitude we feel. We knew we made the right choice after our first call to the Law Office of Cameron Fernandez and our initial meeting with Todd. We will be grateful every single day for the next 13 years (when the order runs out) and beyond!

I have spoken to a lot of lawyers in my lifetime, but none were as knowledgeable and professional as Mr. Wallace. My issue was very complex, dealing with a number of specific rental laws and Mr Wallace quickly walked me through the issues and helped me work out a favorable resolution. On my first call to him, he answered 8-10 questions off the bat, which really helped me figure things out. After a short meeting we developed a resolution plan and he wrote up a simple proposal for solving my issue. The opposition didn't know what hit them. Before calling Mr Wallace, I was ready to settle the case and take a huge beating, but after 2 letters and some negotiation, I ended up resolving the issue better than I had ever hoped. My advice to anyone looking for a good lawyer, give him a call and ask him a few questions...you will know as I do that he's the best Real-Estate Lawyer in the business.
One more thing...I'm generally very skeptical when I deal with Lawyers billing practices. I was shocked at how reasonable the the fees were.
Best experience ever with a lawyer.

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the unfortunate position of having to leave my employer, after nearly six years. I was of the opinion that some labor and other laws had been broken during my employment. Having never had to speak with an attorney about such a matter, I was uncertain where to turn. I had the good fortune of finding Tamara Freeze on the internet. After reading her bio, I knew this was the best place for me to start. Because harassment was involved in my concerns with my previous employer, I knew I wanted to speak with a woman about what I had endured. Tamara called me back less than an hour after I left her a message. She spoke with me for over thirty minutes, up until the very last minute before she had to leave for another appointment. I can tend to be a talker and appreciated Tamara's style of effectively, yet kindly, reeling me in and staying on topic. At the conclusion of our conversation, she did not necessarily think her firm would be able to represent me, should the matter go to trial. What I appreciated most is that she gave me great advice, made me feel at ease and talked to me as though I was a friend, not a stranger calling for the first time. She suggested I begin by writing a demand letter stating what I thought I was owed based on my concerns. Not only did she give me great advice, she asked me to keep her informed! It wasn't just a "We can't help you, sorry" type of attitude. Tamara still cared about the outcome of my situation. I am very fortunate that her advice led to an amicable separation from my prior company and that neither sides wanted a court trial. I would refer Tamara Freeze to anyone who has concerns about the treatment they received in their workplace. I experienced first hand the way she cares for people she is not representing. I can only imagine how well she would take care of those she does represent throughout the courtroom process. Attorneys can often get a bad wrap. Tamara is definitely one of the good ones and has a heart to match her ability to win your case! Do not hesitate to call her if you think you have been mistreated by your employer!

My case was a civil lawsuit involving oral contract in title ownership of realestate property. I was the plaintiff. Candice Bryner along with Tumy Nguyen represented me. If you as any lawyer an oral contract which involve in realestate is very hard case to prove. But Candice and Tumy took on my case and they were very honest and strategic. The defendant was represented by a big law firm in Long Beach. As the case went on the defendant lawyers created a mount of paper work to harass me, but Candice worked day and night to protect me and she did very well with caring thoughts. After settlement was not reached, my case went to trial. As you all know going to war you must be well prepared, Candice and Tumy was very prepared and they prepared me very very well. Cut to the chase, I won my lawsuit and the jury award me ownership of my property including damages. An honest and experienced lawyer is most important when your case is difficult, Candice M Bryner and Tumy Nguyen are as best as they come.

I can highly recommend Patrick Phancao and his firm, Asset Protection and Elder Law. He provides a personal aspect to his profession that is unusual. In creating a trust for my elderly mother, he was not only the consummate professional but was kind, patient and understanding, making my mother comfortable with the process.
As I have continued to rely on Patrick for advice concerning family issues, he has made himself available within hours of my phone call, if not available immediately. His personal concern for his clients and expertise make this firm a valuable resource for those wanting a clear understanding of the law as it pertains to one’s unique situation.

My daughter hired Christine to represent her in a Family Law case that I was involved in as well. We were together all day (8 hours) on some of the court days so we really got to know Christine and see how she performed under pressure. We found Christine to be extremely professional, smart and very organized with great attention to detail. We also enjoyed being with her during our lunch breaks as well. Christine believed in our case and worked tirelessly to represent us. She was always aware of all court/hearing dates and showed up early fully prepared with lots and lots of notes and an amazing memory for facts and details. Christine skillfully and efficiently argued our case and was not afraid to object or petition the judge if things were not represented correctly. She also has excellent communication skills and can be tenacious when fighting to represent you in court. We believe we prevailed in our case thanks to Christine's excellent skill set and tireless work ethic.

I was referred to Christy Lee Thomasson and I have been blessed and lucky to have her handle my car accident case. Right from the get go she was friendly, attentive and extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to listen and had explained the whole process to me. She will drop everything she is doing to get back to you right away. You can even call her on her personal cell phone during the holidays and she will pick up the phone to talk. I did do my research and looked at a lot of other attorneys and decided to go with her because she is so professional, intelligent and experienced. She fought for me to get me the most money for my case and overall I am pleased and grateful. I absolutely recommend her to you. She will provide excellent service!
Thank you so much Christy Thomasson! :)

Our family has had the good fortune to work with a person like Tamsen for approximately 7 years . She has been most knowledgeable, professional, and helpful in terms of both our estate planning, as well as my recently deceased parents estate. She guided us through some sensitive areas/issues with my parents estate and was always available to assist via in-person meetings, telephone or email. I've strongly recommend other family members and friends to her for consultation.

Tamsen was referred to me by my sister who spoke very highly of her. After meeting Tamsen and having her update my multi-year old trust documents I know why. She is caring, thoughtful and able to communicate so that I understood every aspect of the documentation and the reasons behind it all. She is knowledgeable and very compassionate.

Tamsen has been part of assisting in putting my parent's trust together, maintaining connection with us and after my parent's death, assisting me as the trustee. Her office was impeccable when it came to returning calls, getting me information or seeing me in person. The information provided has made my trustee duties less complicated and I don't have any worries that I have not handled the trust correctly so there are no future problems.

Jon represented me in a long and tiring civil case against metro bus transportation. There were times where I was ready to give up and move on, but Jon made one of the most difficult times in my life a bit easier. There was never a time when he didn't answer me. He made me feel as though I was his only client. He gave his all and much more to this case. Jon gave me the strength I needed to continue and that's what I loved about him. Not only did I get an amazing lawyer but I made an amazing long time friend, and I would recommend him to anyone. I appreciate everything he's done for me and I don't know what I would've done without his assistance.

Mr. Atabek helped me with an issue with my HOA. He worked diligently to come to a settlement that was acceptable to me and the HOA. He was thoughtful and diligent in his work. He also was quick, while the opposing counsel lagged. He took the initiative to continuously follow up with opposing counsel until we got a resolution. He was a tireless advocate! would reccomend him to anyone needing this type of representation.

I practiced in both Los Angeles and Orange Counties for a while, and I can with no reservations endorse this attorney. He and I have co-counseled three cases (sometimes he was the lead and sometimes I was), but he always showed shrewd litigation counsel and wants to make sure the client is served best. Mark is aggressive, but knows when to cut back--which is a superb litigator trait. He also is cost efficient in his approach with clients. He is personable and has strong ties to the community--his father (deceased) was a very well known lawyer in the community. Mark inherits those traits and carries them on.
