Hiring Hailli was truly the best decision I made and in turn I achieved the best possible outcome available to me. From the beginning, I felt my relationship with Hailli was that of a personal one and when it was time to get to business Hailli did nothing short of quite literally, getting things done. Both she and her assistant Yani always made themselves available to me and were very responsive throughout. They were excellent with the hand holding and explanations when needed and then taking things in to their own hands at the end to close things out. I was always informed of reasonable expectations I felt and of course had my fingers crossed for what the best possible outcome might be. In the end Hailli was able to convince the courts of what she was fighting for and what was best for me. She came recommended from a family friend/attorney and I would certainly recommend her to anyone in this same situation. Again, thank you Hailli, for everything!

Mr. Comer has set a brand new experience for me in my 6+ years dealing with attorneys! I felt confused and intimidated facing the decision whether to accept my uninsured motorist claim settlement. I am really grateful Mr. Comer took the time to talk and email me with all my questions and concerns. With his help, I was able to make a decision with a peace of mind. His help during the critical decision making process was such a blessings and a comforting and pleasant experiences compared with my previous experiences with any attorneys! Thank you, Mr. Comer!

My name is David W. Klasing, I’m an attorney and a CPA and consider myself a scary judge of talent. Roy Comer is a very talented attorney and even more importantly he is ethical, honest, trustworthy and has adhered to the strictest confidentiality in an issue that I referred my own mother to him over. My mother was injured by her best friend when she lost control of her car while in the act of taking my mother to the emergency ward with symptoms of an impending heart attack. My mother was seriously injured and this placed her deeper into an existing financial crisis. She did not want to sue her best friend but her circumstances left her no choice. The family was placing tremendous pressure on her to do just that. She approached me and requested that I find her an attorney that would limit the law suit solely to the amount her best friend’s insurance would pay and would not go after all of her best friend’s assets. After some extensive research I referred her to Roy Comer. Roy did just that and as a result my mother has received the maximum award under her friends insurance and her best friend, who was done driving anyway, was not hurt in the process. Because of Roy, her friendship, that she cherishes so much, has survived the law suit and continued to flourish and she is in a much better financial position which has taken pressure off of my whole family. I highly recommend Roy Comer as a Personal Injury and civil litigation attorney and one hell of a decent human being. Thank you from the Klasing family Roy!

Noah helped us to recover from a previous attorney who badly botched a case and resulted in a substantial lien being placed upon my elderly mother's home. He was patient, honest, and informative. He was able to resolve the lien for a fraction of the amount they were awarded in court and recover funds for my mother from the malpractice of the previous attorney. Thanks to Noah Green, my mother will not lose the home she's lived in for over 30 years to the unscrupulous contractor who wrecked it.

When it comes to family law, having a competent, understanding, and well-respected attorney is a must. After much research, we decided to trust Jon Mason with our move-away case. After explaining our situation during a phone consultation, he was honest with us about the challenges we might face and gave us a good idea of what we could expect. Throughout the whole process, he made himself available for phone calls, responded promptly to our emails, and was diligent in writing and filing paperwork for our case. After submitting declarations and enduring a 730 child evaluation (ruling in our favor), we were able to reach a settlement allowing us to move out of state with our son. We can’t put into words how grateful we are for Mr. Mason and all the hard work he put in to winning our case. Move-away cases can be difficult to win, but with the guidance and expertise that Jon brings to the table, you’ll set yourself up for the best chance at winning.

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to given Jonathan Mason's excellent work on our complicated out of state child custody case. After researching many reviews/websites he was a godsend to our family. We wanted someone we could feel comfortable with as well as someone who had enough experience to guide us through this dreadful process. He was responsive, patient, compassionate, honest and gave us piece of mind the entire time. He handled our case with the highest degree of professionalism. Jonathan helped bring the truth and facts to light in our court case. I want to thank Jonathan for representing us during one of the most difficult, frustrating and emotional times for our family. He always made us feel like our case was priority. Because of him we were able to gain primary custody of our five year old!!! I can't express how highly I recommend his services to anyone who feels like they are the underdog. If you are reading this you MUST hire him and if you don't, I wish you luck because you will need it. Jonathan - I wish you and your team much success! You will forever be our go to attorney and we will send friends and family your way.

We just finished the Jury Trial yesterday 02/08/2024. We won a $20.71M judgement. The jury found in favor of us the plaintiffs in EVERY count of allegations plus we got 100% of what we ask for in punitive damages. It was a fraud case our company got defrauded. Mr. Brown took over the case on fifth month after the first complaint was filed. The first thing he did was write up an new complaint which made everything SUPER CLEAR. This is the MOST important thing you want to keep up in a lawsuit - KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAR & COMPREHENSIVE or NEVER CAUSE ANY CONFUSIONS for the Judge or the Jurors. Mr. Brown was crushing the defendant’s attorneys. He kept our allegations/story CLEAR & SIMPLE. Why this happened, how did it happened, who was involved and ALL evidence to support your claims. That’s really all you need to win a trial. You will never understand how important it is to keep things CLEAR before you actually attend a jury trial. Because at the trial, the defendant will do everything they could to cause confusions to the jurors, these “confusions” could potentially turn into your disadvantages which also could create challenges to the authenticity of your story factual background. Mr. Brown has done an incredible and amazing job keeping our lawsuit CLEAR. I want to say even a young kid could understand what happen listening to his opening statement and closing arguments. And the truth is the jurors didn’t even bother spending the time going back and forth, because everything is so clear they understand what happened, they have all the evidence they want to see lined up clear and logical to support the facts. If it wasn’t Mr. Brown, we would have a lot more challenges in our case. The other side is a fraudster, and fraudster often “lie” try to cause confusions to the jurors. Mr. Brown proved CLEARLY that the other side is a liar and 100% NOT credible. He proved it by pinning the defendant to his lie and use evidence to prove he lied. If any of you are victims of fraud, in harm of any breach of contract, or suffered damages from any business or personal wrongful conduct. You want to consult and hire Mr. Brown as your attorney. It was a large case for our company and we browsed at minimum 30+ firms before hiring Mr. Brown. The result of this trial proved we made the right choice. He’s so logical and he doesn’t waste a second on “arguing”. He knows the game he knows what is the RIGHT approach to win. Because every lawsuit is different. You need Mr. Brown who is able to identify the merit of the case, and understand the insights. Again, the worst thing you want to do or the stupidest thing you could do is to cause confusions at the court. The other side will always want to bring up nonsense arguments. You don’t need to jump into their “trap” arguing back and forth. Because the more you argue about nonsense, the weaker you are at trial even you have a strong case. All you need to do is have Mr. Brown prove to the jury this is nonsense and everyone inside the court room will understand what kind of game the other side is trying to play.

Brad assisted me in helping settle part of my late father's estate. I was having problems dealing with one of my father's banks, who were extremely unhelpful and basically just giving me bad information (causing me a great deal of stress in the process). He got back to me the same day I called. I explained the issues with the bank, and he took me through all my options, explained what the pros/cons were of each, and helped reduce my confusion and let me know that I could get this settled relatively easily. I really felt supported and appreciate everything. Also, his legal secretary, Hazel, was absolutely amazing, keeping me informed about everything.

Later, through dense and complicated stages of E1 visa application which interrupted and delayed for almost 2 years due to pandemic, Ms. Aycan was determined, dedicated, fully cooperative and supporting through all these times until finally interview date given at early of this year in early February 2022. After long time waiting and hectic preparations, at interview unfortunately i was denied due to interviewing officer misinterpretation and misunderstanding of E1 visa qualifications. Ms. Aycan has done fast assessment of this denial. She disputed to it by sending emails twice to the consulate asking reconsideration of their decision. This hasn’t worked unfortunately. The consulate asked us to reapply. So did as advised. The second interview has been settled for four months later in early June of 2022. This time fortunately i was interviewed by a visa officer whom did right assessment of the case. And, finally i was approved for 5 years E1 visa status. The interview was long and sweaty one. However, i was prepared well like a student studied well to pass final exam. Behind all these efforts and success story, there was definite team work of my attorney Ms. Aycan, my employer whose put many hours of workload submitting sponsor company documents and joining zoom meetings, and myself whom prepared well and fought to the end. And Ms. Aycan was mastermind and architect of this success. She has set exceptional role model how an attorney can be and should be. She hasn’t only worked for this case, also she has fought until to the end as she said after first interview denial “I am there and will fight to win as long as you tell me stop”. Truly, she has delivered his words to most extent by heart and all meanings she has done. Ms Iskent has demonstrated exceptional knowledge in immigration law, superior communication , and a very close follow up. Again, thank to her being my attorney. She is not attorney alone, she is a fighter of law if it is righteous cause. She is an attorney ,whom you can reach directly when she is needed. If you have any case, do not hesitate to hire Ms. Iskent because she will be there for you at all times.

When I reached out to Mr. Landgren's office about a expunging a DUI from my record, they responded quickly and were a pleasure to deal with. Not only did they make the process easy, they also offered a significant discount which made the services much more affordable. Great staff and quick service! Highly recommended!

Bill and his staff are outstanding and my family and I highly recommend his practice. During a traumatic time in our lives, his understanding of our situation and his kindness was a Godsend. He goes out of his way to ensure the best defense. Clients are continuously informed and communication is easy. Cathy is very knowledgeable of all aspects of your case and never fails to provide you with much needed information. Bill's knowledge and recommendations for other services in the Orange County area was extremely helpful. His professionalism and expertise are exceptional. We could not have asked for more. We are so very grateful and appreciative and thank you so very, very much, Bill and Cathy!

Bill has been my criminal attorney for a year and a half now.  I was arrested, bailed out and called Bill's office more than a year ago.  Cathy answered the phone and I was distraught.  I did something out of desperation which added to an already mile long list of white collard felonies.  Cathy was a bundle of information and put me at ease upon my release.  I retained Bill to watch my case and nothing was filed for 6 months.  Just when I thought I was safe, Bill called me to advise me the D.A. filed.  He really did watch the progress of my investigation.  Every other month I went to court for over a year and watched Bill maneuver my case through the system to get the right D.A., to put me in the right spot light, to request time for this document or that document....I went to counseling, I got doctor notes, I got supportive letters from my employer, my family members...anything he asked to do - I did!  He said have faith.  Putting your life in someone else's hands is the hardest thing to do.  But, I did.  And I could not be more thankful, grateful and happy.  Bill and Cathy are amazing.  The best!  When anyone I know or any loved one I know needs any legal help - I will always recommend William Weinberg.  He is the Best!

Ana was a fantastic attorney who helped me navigate through a very difficult situation. She provided me with great advise in dealing with two DUI cases across two different counties and was able to help me avoid jail time. Even after my case was resolved Ana was proactive in reaching out to me to ensure I was enrolled in the court mandated programs I was ordered to take. I was so impressed with the way Ana handled my case that I even referred a member of my family to her firm so that she could assist them with their DUI case. I wholeheartedly recommend Ana to anyone needing legal advise.

There are no words to describe what an absolutely phenomenal professional Ana Zykanova is. Ana is an understanding, compassionate human being who goes far beyond the extra mile for her clients; she isn't afraid to fight and doesn't back down. I was in an unusually ugly and sticky situation regarding my license and Ana was able to get it resolved in a way that I could barely dream of. I absolutely cannot recommend this attorney highly enough. Professional, tells you the truth about what can be expected, keeps in touch, finds a resolution. Beyond stellar.

Josh and the firm have been a great asset and friend to our organization for many years, helping us with a wide array of legal matters, both small and large. He is always thorough in his process, very up front and honest, doing what is best for our organization. We use Josh for international supplier contracts, employee contracts, employee disputes, and he has also helped in matters outside the scope of his practice by looping in others in his office or outside his firm to help our organization in any way possible. I highly recommend Josh to other businesses.

As a budding entrepreneur I've had the fortunate problem that young growing companies face where there are too many responsibilities for a small staff to do leading to not having all the necessary policies in place to safely protect our company against unethical players. An action taken towards our company forced me to quickly need a lawyer to help represent us in a legal matter. Josh was recommended to me by my best friend who has worked with him before and was very satisfied. I had reached out to Josh a year ago regarding a review of a 1099 contract (which in the end fell through and so I did not contract him then). I got a very good feeling then as his responses were clear, quick, informative, personable and very helpful. When I reached out to him this second time there was a lot I needed to learn and decide in a very short time-frame. Due to our goodwill approach to doing business we had a lot more legal exposure in this matter than I ever would have considered possible for a small company wishing to do well by others. On the first call Josh was helpful in putting all the facts forward and explaining the various scenarios that could possibly play out and recommended a plan to follow to help resolve this as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Throughout 3 weeks of calls, emails, fact searching and finally a negotiation he was able to guide us through a very complex landscape of tricky regulatory legislature to reach a resolution that was much less expensive emotionally, time-wise and financially than anticipated (by a significant amount). This situation could have ended up costing our company a sum that could easily put a small team like ours out of business. As I expressed to Josh, I can now look back and feel gratitude that this unpleasant situation happened as it has allowed us to learn and put in place the necessary policies to make our company compliant with local and federal law to ensure similar problems don't occur to us in the future. Consulting a good lawyer ahead of time is like investing in a good insurance policy. Once problems arise having an excellent lawyer at hand to help and guide you is worth its weight in gold. I am thankful to Josh not only for the legal support he gave, but his humanity and the emotional support extended in dealing with this delicate and potentially harmful situation. I found the transparency and professionalism he practices not only in his work but in his billing a refreshing and unexpected surprise to the anticipated notions about lawyer fees. Though it is best not to need them, it is important to have a lawyer of trust and excellence as part of your team for if/when it is needed. I am happy to now have a working relationship with Josh for all future needs our company might have as we continue to thrive. I recommend Joshua Waldman warmly. But don't just believe me or all the consistently outstanding reviews he has, reach out to him and let his excellence convince you first hand.

Ron Cordova, Attorney at Law, helped me, during a difficult time in my life. I was arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I felt that the police used heavy handed tactics. A conviction can cost you your job, and also affect future employment opportunities. I needed an attorney who would fight for me. Ron knows the court system better than anyone, and he provides aggressive legal representation. Ron Cordova's aggressive, thorough legal work got the charges dropped. Afterward, he worked to get the arrest sealed, so that the arrest would not be seen by employers doing a background check. I kept my job, and way of life. Thank You Ron! Ron Cordova, Attorney at Law, will fight for you, to get the best possible outcome in your battle with the court system. Ron Cordova provides excellent legal representation, and his work gets the highest recommendation. He will fight for you. Get Ron Cordova as your attorney, or regret it.

Hello, some context, I received my graduate degree from Harvard University with a concentration in Legal Studies. I also completed legal coursework at various institutions in the world, including The University of Chicago and The London School of Economics & Political Science. In addition, I served as an expert witness in high profile civil litigation cases. Lastly and most relevant, is that I served as a law clerk for almost 1 year, for a Circuit Court District Judge, specifically in the Family Law/Domestic relations division where I observed over 900 cases across 336 hours in the courtroom. As a result of my academic and professional experiences, I am confident to state that I know much of family law, integrity, truth and unlawful behavior. What some negative review writers are attempting to do, is to mar the reputation of one of the most respected law firms in the world; a law firm, which I respect deeply, a firm which continues to be recommended by top family law attorneys as well as other clients seeking representation in complex family law matters. Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has provided me invaluable and objective representation, and I firmly believe that they will continue to do so. My experience with Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has been nothing short of extraordinary and I continue to endorse this firm.

I was in an accident involving a rental car and the driver provided the wrong information. Michael Royer Law was able to track down the driver and handled the case super efficiently. Within less than a week I was receiving a rental and beginning therapy for my injuries. The group was able to get me an excellent payout, which was a lot more than was originally offered by the insurance. Cesia was so helpful and efficient, and always kept me updated on the case as necessary. The handling of this case was done super professional and efficiently, and I will definitely be using Michael Royer Law for all my future cases.

I usually don't write reviews. But Michael Royer and staff were more than outstanding and need to be congratulated. I was in a major rear end car accident which caused severe pain on my spine and a concussion. I was out of work for months. I lost my job because of it. Michael was encouraging and referred me to clinical treatment. He and staff worked so hard on my case! they got a superb settlement. I was able to all of my outstanding debts incurred during my time off, medical bills, credit cards used, and compensation for future expenses. I was so relieved to have them finally paid off. Michael was tireless in working on my case and ALWAYS updated me on the status of my case. He even brought in an associate attorney Cesia Alvarez to assist. I could go on and on, but, I'm just an elated client and can not speak more highly of a professional team. Michael and staff are AMAZING!

Matt Cadwell is AWESOME!!! Matt Cadwell, and the entire staff at Boyd law, gave me reasons to believe that lawyers are not money suckers. In my experience, Matt has proven that the team at Boyd Law actually cares and thinks about their clients first. Divorce is one of the most stressful things a person can go through. Matt was right there with me every step of the way. His commitment to my case give me the courage to fight for what is rightfully mine and not be taken advantage of. He is the most kindest, supportive, easy to talk to attorney I've ever met. He attended court with me on several occasions throughout my long complicated divorce and won some unthinkable hearings. I am very grateful for all the help and support Matt provided me and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

It has been an amazing experience in what could be the most stressful time in someone's life. I'm extremely lucky to have worked with such an amazing group of professionals who were supportive, caring and treated me with the utmost respect. Matt Cadwell (Managing Attorney), Maggie, Susana, Ashley, Richard and Kimberly were amazing (there are probably a few others that have helped - it felt like I had the entire firm on my side)! They were relentless (in a good way) and kept me aware of what was going on with my case at my pace. They were extremely responsive to any questions I had. Matt was an amazing individual - he truly tried to keep my options open and gave me different routes we could take - balancing financial and time concerns. He never quit and always had a plan in place if certain avenues didn't pan out - this was a very intricate dissolution. I'm fortunate that we were able to get a resolution and it was worth the time and investment. Overall I’m very thankful for all of everyone's efforts - especially Matt's. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs legal support!

I never imagined having to fight for my kids. We always said it would never happen. Well my ex banked on the fact that I would not be able to fight. I almost couldn't until I found Matt Cadwell. As an attorney Matt went above and beyond to help me and my children. As a human being he understood my position and took all necessary stes to make sure my case was heard and my needs were met. Listening to all my concerns, wants and needs, Matt developed a strategy that proved to be successful. While preparing for trial, Matt gave me the opportunity to read and review all questions and gave me an opportunity to insert questions of my own while constantly reminding me that this was all up to me and he would do whatever I wanted. He showed concern for my well being each and every step of the grueling court process. Matt is not only smart and professional, he has a heart and understands his clients needs. This was not easy, but Matt prevailed and the judge had no choice but to make a decision in my favor. Each time I was nervous or scared, Matt was able to calm me down by reminding me that being nervous was good because I cared. He cared too. Whether I needed help with emails or understanding procedures, Matt made sure I understood. He fought hard and spent countless hours preparing himself and me for trial. I would recommend Matt Cadwell to anyone that should find themselves in need of services through such a difficult time in life. Trust me. I had to interview several attprneys after firing the first one I had. Matt is honest, dependable and will work extremely hard for each of his clients. If you found yourself on this page because you need someone to fight for you, Matt is the fuy you want and need to stand with you and fight for you.

I’m a Military Veteran and in March 2018, I was pulled over, arrested and charged with my 2nd DUI within 5 years. I was still on probation from my 1st DUI and I didn’t know what to do. Searching for local DUI Lawyers, I decided to put my trust in The Law Offices of Taylor & Taylor after reading the reviews prior clients had posted. Upon meeting with Mr. Christopher Taylor, I knew I made the right decision based off the reviews I had read. Mr. Taylor explained the process we were about to go through very thoroughly while answering & reassuring any questions I had. I felt confident that Mr. Taylor would handle my case and provide the best possible outcome for my current situation. Two months later; I got pulled over AGAIN, arrested and was charged with a 3rd DUI. Still under the council of The Law Offices of Taylor & Taylor; Mr. Taylor was empathic and nonjudgmental upon hearing of my 3rd DUI arrest. Mr. Taylor laid out a new plan to address my 3rd DUI with the hopes of still achieving a successful outcome. Keeping in mind my Military service, Mr. Taylor discussed my possibility for eligibility into a Military Diversion Program. Through Mr. Taylor’s dedication, tireless effort and unwavering support to my case, he was successful in negotiating with the Orange County DA’s Office which allowed me to be accepted into the Military Diversion Program. July 2020 I successfully completed the Military Diversion Program with the outcome being ALL DUI’s expunged from my record. I rejoice today knowing there are programs out there for Veterans here in Orange County who made poor choices and giving them the education they need to achieve success. Christopher Taylor; I’m forever grateful to the new beginning that I’ve been given. Thank you again for everything you did for me and getting me into this gift called “Military Diversion” while encouraging me every step along the way.

I had a 2nd DUI after 7 seven years, I didn't realize how much more these get punished, as I learned of the consequences I was devastated and full of anxiety. Thank God, I hired Chris Taylor, he guided me through the entire process, from day 1 he was realistic about the outcome and immediately put me to work on my case. it took about 10 months to get my sentence, it was very stressful times. My work has zero tolerance for DUI, so I was sure I would lose my job. So one thing that helped me a lot is that somehow Chris was able to synchronize the timing of the DMV suspending my license with the court proceedings. Chris is a true professional in what he does, polite, patient, he will answer all your questions. Chris knows a lot of people in the courts which makes You feel comfortable in front of the judge. Chris offers suggestions in those desperate times is great to feel safe in the middle of this situation. At this point, almost 2 years after my arrest, I have completed all programs except the DUI school which last 18 months and most important, I was able to keep my job, don't even know how this was possible but it took a lot of hard work on my side too. Overall, I am satisfied with the outcome and happy for my new life. I highly recommend Chris Taylor for your surprising and unexpected DUI case.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

  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:

  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.

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.

      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.

    • Additional Expenses:
