Mr. Horowitz is the perfect balance of what someone wants in a lawyer. Not only is he approachable enough to gain and value your trust, but he's a bulldog in the courtroom. Despite his kindness I have never once doubted his ability to provide me with THE BEST representation in court. I'm so thankful to have found a lawyer capable of such a delicate balancing act.

He told me that he hadn't lost a trial in a long time and he didn't want mine to break the streak. I didn't either ! We went to trial and he was in control of the courtroom. He was totally prepared. But I was still worried because the prosecutor was very good as well. Daniel was confident but honest. The jury really liked him. As you can tell, he won my case because I am here, writing this review. Thank you.

Daniel handled my divorce back in 1991 and is a very understanding and caring person who took care of my needs with patience and understanding. He is one of a very few of that special breed. Wish to God there were more like him. Thanks Daniel.

Mr. Schiff was recommended to me by a friend of mine in the mortgage industry. My mother was taken in by one of that housing scams you hear about so much. The twist is, the person who took advantage of her was a defendant in a fraud (I believe it was tax related?) case, plead guilty and faces years in prison. I'm wondering how we go about suing him while he's in jail. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

We hired Bob to represent our company in a legal matter with a financial advisor. His communication skills were excellent! He was reasonable yet firm in negotiations. His knowledge and expertise were exceptional. He won our case, which we were certain to lose without his professional expertise. Our family is grateful to him for his dedication to our cause and we consider him our friend.

Rich Vasquez has represented my Company and our Parent Company for many years. Cases he worked for us included lawsuits to collect damages, to defend us against claims, employment issues, reviewing contracts and agreements for us, etc. But mostly, Rich has defended us against intellectual property and patent infringement claims. As CFO I have been impressed with his success rate and his firm's ability to manage many cases for us at one time. He has minimized expenses for us and helped us to collect some very large balances awarded to us. I highly recommend Rich and his firm, Vasquez Benisek Lindgren LLP, and I am confident that you will be very satisfied with their performance.

I have worked with Rich Vasquez and his firm, Vasquez Benisek & Lindgren, on several complex and substantial IP disputes. I have found all of the attorneys at VBL to be highly competent and their services to be quite reasonable in cost. Consistently, I felt that we were getting practical, real-world advice and guidance, rather than the more vague and abstract guidance provided by some lawyers. Rich in particular was a tremendous asset in settlement and strategy contexts. He provided an excellent combination of strong legal skills, coupled with sharp strategic thinking. I would not hesitate to recommend Rich and his firm with respect to any IP dispute.

He has developed creative ways to reduce legal expenses, We have never lost a case in the 12 years that I have worked with Rich and his firm.
I can whole hearty recommend the services of Rich and his firm. He has a great team of attorneys.

Stephen was diligent and very detail conscious while also very sensitive to our worries and concerns thru out the law suit process which can be long and at times painful. He also anticipated many issues so we were prepared and not blindsided. He was excellent at laying out what the process would entail and very honest at how we stood so we could be realistic in our expectations from beginning to end. We would recommend his services highly!

I have known Matt for nearly two years working on a contested probate case. He is diligent, smart and effective. I believe he is the only lawyer I have had that I could say with confidence is a "good person". He also is very sharp and to the point. I hired him after firing a disaster of an attorney. Matt is certainly the most competent attorney I have had.

Longtime friend (30 plus years) died, had left me everything in his will for the previous 15 years. In the last days of his life, his neighbor took him to an attorney to change the will to leave everything to her. Mr. Toth was able to get that last will overturned/nullified and got me what my friend wanted to have.

After being doored by a car in San Francisco and getting my wrist broken, I was out of work for months. Kyle was able to help me to get the largest settlement possible, and through the process made sure I fully understood every step. I never felt like I was just having legal nonsense told to me, and that I was just going with it. I felt like he genuinely cared for me and not just the money that was going to come out of it. And as a cyclist he understood the way it felt to lose a part of yourself in injury. I would recommend Kyle wholeheartedly to anybody who has any bicycle related injury or anything relating to them. Thank you again Kyle.

After getting knocked over by a large loose dog, my daughter suggested that I contact Kyle. She hadn't needed representation after being struck by a pick-up truck near Skyline Blvd., but Kyle had generously offered to coach her as she dealt with the driver's insurance adjustor. My situation proved more complicated, first because of the need to secure a witness statement because I had blacked out, and secondly because for some months it seemed that the dog owners were not insured. Kyle had success in unearthing an umbrella policy that covered the incident, and represented me well during the discovery and deposition stages. In the end, he obtained an ample settlement and got a discount on the amount of reimbursement that I owed to cover my medical expenses. I recommend Kyle unreservedly.

My car accident case was complicated and I wasn't sure I'd be able to find an attorney who could help me. But then I found Theresa. She was compassionate, hardworking, professional, quick to respond and reliable. She really took the time to understand my case and explained how we could move forward together. She provided detailed information about California's car accident laws and worked with me every step of the way until I received a great settlement that was more than fair.

This law firm should be avoided for their unprofessional code of conduct. They focus on hours of billing instead of actually delivering measurable results. When asked for budget for cost control, they continue to procrastinate for months and deliver monthly billing shocks every months.
Also, they practice block billing for 5+ hours which is not accurate billing.

I was trying to buy a lot but it needs a Certificate of Compliance from the city. I applied for one but the city needs documentation and historical reports to support the legality of the lot. I hired Ramsey Law Group - Steven Judson to help me procure legal documents to support the lot so the city will approve from Certificate of Compliance application.
Stephen Judson and Hussein Saffouri has been very helpful. They did the research and follow up with the City Planning department, finally after nine months of waiting the city approved my Certificate of Compliance and was hoping to get the signed certificate in a few days. I was able to finally buy the land. Thanks and more power to Ramsey Law Group.

I received a lie-filled slanderous Cease and Desist (for things I was never doing nor intended to do) letter from this firm, and they refuse to return my calls to discuss. The letter contained multiple falsehoods that go to the level of defamation of character. The letter states all communication on the matter must be directed through the firm, yet when I attempt to communicate with them, they refuse to take my calls or call me back. The letter itself was written by a junior associate named Lilas, and reads like a high school student pretending to be a lawyer. This is a very unprofessional firm.

This Law firm waited until we were in mediation, with only about 1 week before trial ,to tell me I better take the deal in mediation or they would no longer represent me. They basically forced me to agree to the mediation settlement or find a new lawyer with only 1 week before trial.

What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?

How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses. -
What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?

What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation. -
Who will be working on my case?
Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals. -
How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times. -

Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness. -

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

-
Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. -
Experience and Specialization:
