Chris helped me battle my father’s employer who did not want to pay out earned wages after my father suddenly passed away. Chris got me those earned wages owed plus more! It was a long battle but he did not let up. Thank you Mr. Gonzales. Very persistant, honest, and kind and made me feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation.

Chris Gonzales represented me in a three-year WC case and his dedication and integrity is impeccable. He was steadfast and dependable as well as available and responsive. There were many times over the years when I felt defeated and he was strong and supportive with optimism. He successfully settled my case and always took the time to explain court documents. I would highly recommend Chris Gonzales, he was a pleasure to work with in a very emotional and difficult case.

Having Stephen represent me in my Child Custody case was the best decision I have ever made. His professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge, let alone his high moral character and ethics, helped me win my case for my son at a time when I almost lost all hope. I would recommend Stephen Kaufman to any parent looking for a hard-working sincere professional lawyer who truly cares about his clients and the children they are trying to protect.

Stephen helped with a case my ex wife brought to OCCS after 30 years falsely claiming I owed back child support. He was very thorough and explained everything to us on our level. His presentation in court with all of the facts and his knowledge I believe helped make a quick decision by the court in our favor.

Steve is a true professional. Steve represents his clients with integrity and is upfront and honest. Steve represented me during a separation with my wife but our goal together was to save our family and find a solution that did not include divorce. Steve believes in preserving the family and was awesome throughout our proceedings eventually earning the respect of my wife which ultimately led to saving our marriage. Steve was very empathetic during the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Richard was great. Within a week my misdemeanor traffic ticket was reduced to just a traffic ticket. Months later, it was reduced to traffic school.
My client had a bench warrant for not showing up to court. Richard made the whole thing go away, not even traffic school in his case.

Lawyers Realty Group gets you a resolution! Our family was under extreme stress and sleepless nights dealing with a Zombie loan scam that was threatening to steal our home. We are so grateful that a Google search in the middle of the night led us to Lawyers Realty Group and connected us with Derik N. Lewis, Esq. He was our voice in this fight which resulted in a resolution in our favor. My take away from this has been to keep your documentation and keep it organized, even if it's over 10 years old. We have to make sure we do our part so that someone like Derik N. Lewis, Esq can step in, fight for us, and or offer resources to get a resolution. Derik was able to back down lawyers representing the scammers swiftly while also being availble to our family to throughly explain what could and couldn't be done with honestly and integrity.

Ellie served as my lawyer on a challenging case involving multiple parties and claims. From the beginning, Ellie was highly professional and engaged in the case--I felt as if I was her primary priority. She was an excellent listener and helped me articulate and prioritize my goals. She did significant work behind the scenes including research and discussions representing my interests with other parties, thereby saving me valuable time. Having her on my side significantly reduced my stress associated with the case, as I knew she was informed and fighting for my interests.
Ellie clearly has an innately competitive nature, which drives her to win. Woe to the attorney who sits across the table from Ellie!!! In the end, she achieved all my goals. I recommend her without hesitation.

The team at Buncher Law is excellent. I recently finished a divorce with Sven and they were instrumental in helping me navigate the difficult process. Despite the emotional and financial strain of a divorce, they helped me settle and avoid more legal fees. I'm not sure how I would have made it through without them on my side. I have already referred them to a couple close friends and will continue to do so. They are good people with similar values and that goes a long way. Thank you so much.

I interviewed two attorneys and Sven is the most ethical, polite and trustworthy attorney. I paid for my consultation and became well educated. Should I move forward I know about where I will end up, should I need to pay alimony or collect it, cost of different approaches, but most of all I believe Sven’s Team will remove a lot of anxiety so I can live and be happy.

Sunita has helped me to navigate the process of becoming a permanent resident first and a citizen later. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, caring and honest. I always felt she had my best interests at heart and wasn't focused on $. Sunita has made this difficult and confusing 'immigration journey' very easy and was always there to answer all the questions, give an advice or just calm my nerves. I could not be more grateful for all the work she has done for me and would not hesitate a second to hire her again, if ever needed.

My wife and I have working with Sunita for over fours at the time I’m writing this on November 2020. We had heard claims that many people were able to navigate this seemingly simple process in the past all by themselves. We decided to play it safe and consult an expert in October 2016 because we didn’t want to risk making a mistake.
We had no idea how many different paths to residency and citizenship existed and we certainly had no idea how much the legal landscape was about to change. Sunita has helped my wife gain legal permanent residency and is currently helping us through the process of naturalization and we and beyond relieved to have her continued guidance and emotional support. This is a long and stressful process and we’ve had to make compromises (like missing funerals for family members in her home country) in order to stay the course. Make no mistake, there are figurative land mines all over this path and Sunita helped steer clear of them all. My life, my wife’s life and our marriage are where they are today in part because of our decision to ask Sunita for representation. She returned emails quickly, explained the process many times, was on time, met commitments, gave clear instructions on assignments, provided feedback and made sure we didn’t step on any land mines along the way. We’re forever grateful.

When I met Sunita my immigration situation was little complicated. I wasn't entirely hopeful. She took the time to explain everything to me, which gave me hope. It wasn't an easy process, but she guided me through it. She was extremely thorough and careful. Slowly....we went through the steps needed and I ended getting my Permanent residency. 3 years later I still used her services for my citizenship, even though I had moved away from S. California. I highly recommend her, as she is cautious, thorough and knows her stuff!

this team is amazing! I had issues with the California Covid care act that messed up three years of my taxes. Mistakes were IRS and mine. The law firm represented me in IRS hearings, and throughout the entire process. Working with them could not have been easier. I have never had much luck, dealing with complicated tax issues, and with this firm, I felt peace of mind and much less stress, knowing that I was in good hands.
Beyond satisfied recipient of professional tax representation,

It was a remarkable achievement to help out a person like me. My case is not the same as others but the first time I spoke to John Rajaee I knew deep in my heart that he can make things happen. He was very friendly and patient with me. Mr. Rajaee explained all my options to me and walked me down the process step by step. He took care of all my worries. I never had to worry about anything with him. He sent me a substantial settlement that compensates the injury I suffered both emotional trauma and physical.
The best personal injury lawyer you can trust!
He did his job to the utmost satisfaction of a client like me. If I could give him 10 stars I would!

I retained Caroline Tucker to represent me in a personal injury matter. My infant son and I were in a terrible car accident back in May 2011 and the driver at fault was not insured. Caroline was very thorough and once she walked me through the entire process, I knew I was in very good hands. She did a fantastic job communicating with the insurance companies and in the end, was able to negotiate a timely and fair settlement for both of us. Thank you Caroline for taking such great care of me and my family's needs.

When you are in a very complex legal situation with a "Big Name Corporation", you want Kimberly Wright to listen to your story, help you keep calm, devise a strategy and then use her negotiating skills to bring it to a resolution in your favor.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kimberly for the better part of the year, and she has been indispensable and a crucial to the success of my business. I have spent 15+ years in the corporate world, getting below average service from many different attorneys. Before meeting Kimberly I questioned the competence of the profession. Now, I know the trick is having the right attorney working with you. She vigorously defended my firm in a frivolous lawsuit and was able to think 3 steps ahead of the plaintiff. This is what makes her unique and special. She plays the long game and doesn’t just push paper for papers sake.
She also helped my business partners and I on multiple corporate transactions, company formations, and tax assessment analysis with her partner Jessica. Her thoughtfulness, skill, and expertise of both the law and having her clients back for the long term, makes her the attorney “ne plus ultra”

I was referred to Kimberly by a friend when a former client breached contract. I was in a very stressful situation and from the moment I called Kimberly I felt relief. She was my biggest advocate and really understood the emotional stress I was feeling and took the initiative to handle my case on my behalf. She was knowledgeable, to-the-point, and made me feel very at ease. I couldn’t have found a better attorney to represent me and I’m proud to know her. We all hope to never need a lawyer but if you do, choose her. You will not regret it.

Ms. Demers represented me in a LTD (Long Term Disability) case and we won—my claim was finally accepted. I would not have won without her championing my case. I have worked with several attorneys over the years on other matters and she stands above the rest. Her hard work, compassion, attention to detail, knowledge and her skill brought us to a win through a well written appeal to the insurance company. She knew how to handle a difficult insurance company. She was also a great support to me during a very stressful time. I highly recommend her.

Working with Sarah Demers was absolutely amazing. Not only was she a brilliant attorney, there were many nights she pulled double-duty as my counselor. Sarah always kept me in the loop on things, and the case progression. For someone who has never been in a lawsuit, it can be a terrifying experience, and Sarah helped guide me through a very difficult time in my life. Sarah radiates kindness, but that is only a portion of the strength and determination that lies beneath. I will always be grateful for everything she did.

David represented my firm and I as plaintiffs in a couple cases involving corporate governance, fraud and fiduciary duty claims, in my capacity as a Board member of a private company. These matters were in dispute and litigated in 2011 and 2012. David is very quick in identifying and understanding the critical elements of a case, determining strategy and tactics to achieve the desired results, and in my view has unique talents at crafting persuasive, well written and well supported legal arguments and briefs. David believes in his clients, and is the proverbial bulldog when developing and presenting his client's case. I would highly recommend David in any matter involving disputes in the areas of corporate governance, fiduciary duty etc.

I have used Mr Tomassian for Real Estate, Business Contract and Personal Injury matters in both Orange County and the Inland Empire. I have been very happy with the results that he was able to get and how fair the firm's fees were for their services compared to other firms that I had previously used. Additionally, I have referred Mr Tomassian to some friends and business associates and they were also very happy with their results. I am glad that I don't have to go to Los Angeles to hire a top attorney for my needs since we have Serge right here in the Irvine/Newport Beach area.

So far so good! I owe a big thank you to Brian here. My manager to make a long story short terminated my brother and suspended me for calling out some serious safety concerns in our work environment and said the reasons for the discipline were unrelated. And its been quite a challenge to find anyone that will at least hear my brother and I out, until I came across Brian. Not only was he willing to hear me out he also provided guidance on how to tread in these tricky waters. It's attorneys like this that give decent hard working people like us the support we need and the motivation necessary to fight back when companies think they can smile in our faces one day then send us packing the next. Whatever our outcome we give Brian and his law firm a huge thanks for looking out for the right people.

First, I would like to say that I am an attorney myself. A former colleague of mine recommended Mr. Baruch. From the first consultation up through the end of the case I could not have wished for better representation. Mr. Baruch is sharp, a creative thinker, and knows the law inside and out. He is a fighter, and was an excellent advocate for me. He was also compassionate and attuned to my specific needs and issues. He is a straight shooter. I did not think it was possible to find all of these characteristics rolled into one attorney. I hope I am never embroiled in litigation again but if I am I would retain Mr. Baruch every time. To say he is an excellent litigator is an understatement.

Michael Phillips was a savior in my DUI case. I would not have received the right judgments without him. He went through my case throughly and knew that I was treated unfairly. He went above and beyond all expectations. I won my DMV Court Hearing, which saved me from losing my license. To be honest if I lost the DMV court hearing I would of lost my job and my long distance relationship with my now husband would of suffered. He lived in San Diego and I lived in Huntington Beach, so driving to see each other was important. My court case was then dropped from a DUI to a Wet In Reckless.
Now he is helping me expunge my case for a great price. I don't really need the expungement because I own my business but for such a great price, I can't say no to the offer.
Thank you Micheal. It was a very stressful time for me and my family and if you didn't help me I don't think I would be in the great position that I am in my life today. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Mr. Phillips is one of two lawyers who handled my DUI case. I was immediately impressed, as he was willing to take my consultation call after hours, and was very straight-forward with no sales pitch, scare tactics, or too-good-to-be-true promises. He took a lot of time to explain the process and what to expect, and to review the possible outcomes of my case. I called as a nervous wreck but ended the call feeling confident that I would be in good hands. He was also always very quick to respond to my emails and calls, and even gave me great advice on how to handle the DMV, alcohol classes, and my insurance. I highly recommend him!

The very first time I spoke to Eric about my case was the very first time I felt optimistic about our wrongful death case and that my family and I were in good hands. Not only is Eric a remarkable attorney but he has a conscience and will fight for what is right. I can go on and on about how much a great attorney he is and his compassionate moral character, but there is simply not enough time in the day.

There are reasons that high profile attorneys get to where they are. Eric Dubin returned my email in less than 24 hours. After a short (free consultation), he was immediately honest in saying it wasn't his area of expertise. But he supported me, and even sent words of encouragement, such as "hang in there." PI attorneys get a bad rap from time to time, but there are people like Eric who could (given his well documented trial skills) win probably any case. But he didn't try to be everything to everybody. He was kind, honest, and most of all replied. In fact of all of the attorneys I consulted the one thing that sets these premier attorneys apart is that they actually do call you back. After finding out that a black mold case is not his strongest suit, he never the less was kind, encouraging, and took time to respond to me. By contrast one other supposedly preeminent black mold attorneys who was referred by another attorney (who even made a call on my behalf to get the specific name of the attorney to call, never returned a phone call, nor an email, nor did I ever get an email after filling out one of those utterly annoying "chat now" messages. I've followed Eric's career, and he doesn't talk the talk. He's brilliant, he cares about people, and he is responsive. I hope that I never need an attorney in the areas where he truly excels, but I would go back to him in a moment, and I'd refer him to anyone injured, or unjustly treated.

We hired Eric Dubin to represent us for the wrongful death of our disabled son. Eric treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. Even though he remained sensitive towards us, Eric was a fearless warrior, willing to fight until justice was served. We found Eric to be professional, diligent, bluntly honest, and a creative out-of-the box thinker who was willing to work day and night when needed. We would strongly recommend Eric to anyone who is looking for an attorney who is willing to go the extra mile and has the knowledge to do so. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts! M and M

We really appreciated Andrew’s advice. We had disagreement with our landlord and could hardly handle the matter on our own. Andrew gave us valuable advice about protecting our rights and resolve the issues. He is very knowledgeable and caring our benefit.
Andrew is willing to help and refer to other lawyers if he cannot accept the case. Mother of our friend, who lives in Bay area, got insured when she was on bus. They received extremely expensive medical bills. Our friend and his mother are not native English speaker. We recommend them to ask Andrew. Andrew responded speedily, gave them advice and helped them find a lawyer in local because this case needs to execute timely. He followed up their case until a local lawyer accepted their case.

Matt guided us thru the process after being with another attorney for several years with little success. He skillfully rewrote our patent app in a straight forward way so that the examiner could properly understand it's values. We now have a patent and are very happy with his performance.
Sincerely,

I hired Sidney to defend me against a former tenant. This after initially hiring a different attorney , who wasn't making any progress. Just a few days after coming aboard , she brought the case to a very satisfactory conclusion ! Not only was a impressed with the result , but Sidney tried to keep my costs as low as possible! My go-to attorney!

Charles is a fantastic lawyer. My company hired him to handle some of our employment and tax law issues, none of which any of us were equipped to handle, or even frankly understood. Charles was incredibly thorough, patient and explained everything to us in a relatable manner. Sorry, but there's nothing I hate more than lawyer jargon! Charles made sure we understood all risks, outcomes, etc but without using jargon that we would have to ask him "Wait, what the heck does that mean?" He also makes sure that he's providing the guidance that you need without all of the "upselling." We've been thrilled with his work and look forward to working with him again.

Charles was really helpful throughout the probate process for my family (did all the work, was on top of things, etc). I was told the probate process would take a long time because of the California court system, but it didn't take nearly as long as he'd warned me it might. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and always quickly responded to my questions via phone/email. Would definitely recommend him.
