Francine was an absolute professional when working with her to have our retirement planning process trademarked. Over a period of months we communicated via email, telephone conference, and webinars to layout our plan to achieve our goal. Francine was able to guide us through the labyrinth of legal potholes and landmines which allowed us to not only get our process trademarked, but to obtain a registered trademark! There is no doubt that without her help we would not have been able to achieve the highest standard. Thanks again Francine!

Francine went above and beyond in responding to our urgent need for intervention in a business crisis with a rogue associate. Because this turned out to be a specialty case with unique requirements, she spoke personally the very next day with a top colleague, who in turn cleared her schedule to meet with us ASAP. It would have taken days and probably weeks to get to see this second lawyer. We are forever in Francine's debt for the help she gave us.

She answered my Avvo query with respect and knowledge generously shared. She picked up on fact that it wasn't just about a $2600 fee paid - the acct blew a sol and an 80 year old lost $30K. Other attys answered as if "not worth any atty's time" bc money is so small. That seems like an stand for our legal system. I wish NC & USA had more attys like this fine lady.

The entire staff are wonderful to work with. Kristin answered my myriad questions patiently and thoroughly. She got a settlement that was unexpected and awesome! I found their rates to be competitive (and they're worth it).
I brought a unique Lemon Law case to them. They took the time to actually look at it and decided to take my case.
I strongly recommend this firm.

We are so grateful to Kristin and her team! We purchased a CPO Jaguar F-Pace that turned out to have been in a significant pre-sale accident that was never disclosed to us and that negatively impacted our ability to use the vehicle, resulting in expensive out-of-pocket costs for repairs. After getting the runaround from the dealership we purchased it from, we called Kristin and are so glad we did! Happily we were able to resolve the issue in mediation. Kristin and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with and are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They always responded in a very timely manner and kept us in the loop throughout the entire process. We are so happy to have been able to get this resolved, and are so pleased with the outcome of our case! If it wasn’t for Kristin, Adam and their team, we would have been stuck upside down on a bad vehicle. So grateful!!

I absoloutly recommend this law firm, I worked with Kristin she is an amazing attorney. She explained the hole process of protecting my right as a consumer when I had an issue with Mercedes dealership. Because of her I was able to legally ask for my rights from the dealer and get what I was entitled to get. I worked with many attorneys in the past Kristin is the one I want to have on my side. I am extremely satisfied with my case and the performance of Kemnitzer, Barron & Krieg lawfirm. Highly recommend!
Thanks Kristin!

I have known Pieter Bogaards for over twenty five years both professionally and personally. Pieter has helped me with several complex legal issues and each time he has come through and delivered. Pieter does what he says he is going to do and more. He stands up for his clients and does not back down even against bigger well-funded adversaries. There is no one more ethical than him, and he would be the first person I would call with any legal issue.

Wrongful termination cases are hard enough. Cases by a lawyer against a law firm are brutal. Starts with the firing, when people you liked and trusted suddenly turn their backs and say "it's you" not them, to hide their true motivation. When we were left no option but litigation, Pieter skillfully navigated through a host of legal traps and pitfalls, until finally they were hung by their own rope. His tenacity and attention to detail paid off handsomely. Highly recommended.

Pieter Bogaards recently represented my business in a case. During the entire process, I found him to be extremely efficient and tenacious, while also extremely informative and cost effective. In the end, he was successful in achieving a plaintiff filed Motion for Summary Judgment in my company's favor.
Overall, he was attentive and a pleasure to work with. If I ever have the need again, I would hire Pieter to represent my company.

Alice helped us work through a complex issue involving nonprofit law and accounting (we paired her with our accountant, and it's turned out to be a fabulous combination). She's both a strategic thinker and very detail-oriented. She provides great assistance and is tremendously responsive. And, she was able to provide us with a marvelous referral for an IP attorney.

I have worked with Alice on various projects for a decade or so. She understands how to ask for context about the project so that she can tailor her advice so that it is relevant, specific, and helpful. She always seems to be on top of the latest issues, and has been happy to refer me to various public websites for information, as opposed to her doing so and then charging! She has great experience and is a delight to work with.

To me, the hallmark of a good attorney, is that they listen, and carefully assess the requirements of their clients without making too many assumptions. Alice Anderson was careful and thoughtful in her approach. I think my case was unusual in that it bridged non-profit business law and aspects of other areas of law as well, and when I asked her if she would have a conference with my other lawyer, she handled that carefully and did her homework. I am an individual, not a corporation, and Alice made sure that I understood all the details and ramifications of my situation. She advised me and gave me options without dictating the "only solution". It was a complicated situation (at least it seemed that way to me) so I'm glad she was thorough. It was also reassuring to get a little hand-holding and coaching when I needed it. She was efficient, and the process actually went faster than I had anticipated.
My honest feeling is that if you are looking for a non-profit attorney who does their job efficiently, carefully and creatively, you couldn't find a better lawyer than Alice Anderson. When the bill came I was very pleasantly surprised at how she added up the hours. No complaints here; it was a great experience and I would use her services again in a second.

As a "shut in" person with P.T.S.D. Mr. Zieman made getting my case resolved easier than easy. Mr. Zieman spoke to me by phone, sent me self addressed stamped envelopes with all of our correspondents, he treated me as a human being, not as a case number. He is a compassionate man, very intelligent, and I recommend Richard Zieman to everyone who has, or is feeling the hopelessness and isolation I felt before contacting him. HE CAN HELP YOU! DO NOT BE AFRAID. Call or E-mail and let Mr. Zieman help you too! You will not have to leave your home until your hearing, so get the help you need and deserve, Richard Zieman is a God-send, and he is here for you. Change your life for the better today and contact Mr. Richard Zieman. He won't let you down. Richard saved my life-give him the chance to save yours too.

David is a exactly what we needed! He made us feel comfortable. He is creative and not afraid to think outside the box. Most importantly, he is well known and respected in the Marin courthouse. His proposals to the judge feel heard and in our case were agreed upon. He is awesome!!

When it comes to criminal cases in Marin County, you simply can't go wrong with David. He's widely regarded as THE criminal attorney in the county, and when he won my case he showed me why. I am grateful to have been able to retain him and he quickly exonerated me.
Also, there is a reason that David and his high school team won the national mock trial competition. You'll see how smooth he is in his speech and be comforted knowing that he's on your side.

Everything is above the board! I had 3 previous attorney's all of which had secret phone calls without my consent. None wanted to document anything and I had to fight with them to document by e-mail. Previously everything was done by telephone...no documentation.
Mary is honest, hard working and got results simply by sending out her substitution of attorney. Mary documented everything, sent out registered letters, PDF documents and made calls to confirm the documents were received. Professional and by the book.

I had been giving anesthesia for Kaiser for twenty years when I had routine back surgery for a herniated disc. The surgeon operated at the wrong level and damaged sacral nerve roots, leaving me disabled, with intractable pain. David was thorough, expert, and aggressive. I was very fortunate to have him representing me, the settlement meant that though I can not work my family did not suffer financially.

Robert put together an estate plan for my family several years ago. He was very knowledgeable and professional. The plan he devised was well thought out and met the specific goals I wanted for my family situation. Robert drafted the plan and stayed involved to make sure I understood the details. I am very satisfied with the high quality of Robert's work.

George handled everything from the interview to settlement. Throughout the process, I always felt I was in good hands. At the consultation, George took the time to understand the case, including my priorities and concerns. He tailored his communication to my needs. He was immediately able to walk me through the most likely courses the case would take, and this ended up being accurate. Where we had choices for how to proceed, I was presented with clear alternatives, and it was up to me. Other than that, I let him handle everything. He was always available by email or by phone within 1 day, even when he had other trials going on. The experts he hired to add specialized knowledge were appropriate. With George, I felt protected from the messy and frustrating aspects of this process. I just had to show up, and tell my story, as needed. In documents he prepared, conversations and meetings we had, it was clear that he took the time to understand the details of the case inside and out. It became clear that the other side was not reasonable, and I was glad to have George there to give them a dose of reality. I felt confident that we arrived at an optimal outcome. I am glad I hired George.

Mr. Woodlief was outstanding in helping move my case forward. Our eventual settlement was far more than my company ever expected. As a C-level executive, I demand professionalism, grace, tenacity, and creativity. To date, I've not met anyone that embodies all of this and more. His unsurpassed knowledge of the peripheral areas of law that affected our needs was also impressive. We called on him to assist us with debt restructuring and still retain him for other issues. It is be my pleasure to recommend Mr. Woodlief without reservation.

In December 2016, I experienced a work injury that left me bedridden for 6 months. After a bad experience with a prior attorney, Matt Fleming and Fleming Law was a Godsend. His honesty and guidance with decision making, and taking the time to explain the pros, cons, and alternative outcomes of all available options was much appreciated. He also recommended a great doctor who assisted with my full recovery.
If you are in the beginning stages of a personal work injury or in need of new counsel, Attorney Matt Fleming is your first step to peace-of-mind and taking control of your Work Comp experience.

Outstanding, the best attorney I have ever worked with. Her professor at Princeton said at one point “Gina DeVito, she would fight the devil in a phone booth”. And that really sums up and defines how she represents her clients and protects them from the opposing side while she is completely on the offensive. Whenever I was in depositions, or whatever stage of a lawsuit, I always felt safe, having her right next to me, and literally felt sorry for the other side at one point. Gina is strategic, smart, collaborative, and relentless when it comes to representing her client. Truly, a Tigres with lockjaw.
Gina has also been a guest
Several times on major news networks as a legal law contributor on the nightly news. I just cannot say enough wonderful things about her. If you’re lucky enough for her to take your case you will be glad she did.
You can count on her, no matter where you are in your legal situation.
On a personal note, she is kind, caring, loving, spiritual and stunning when you meet her in person. She is an athlete, very fit, and the best dressed person I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning.
You are welcome to contact me anytime you want to discuss my experience with the DeVito law, group, and Gina DeVito. Ron Evans, former President and COO of First California Title division of United Title.

I called Leslie regarding a employment law issue. In the end there wasn't enough for a case, but she spent a good hour talking to me about the law and my situation that left me better informed. She was very comforting and I could really tell that she cared even if there wasn't anything to continue on with. Other lawyers that I called felt rushed and to the point. It was really nice to have someone to talk to and understand my situation while I'm feeling a bit confused and upset.

Rob was wonderful in many ways. He consulted with me and spent a lot of time talking to me through my issue. I did not know what to do, but meeting him was an enlightening experience. He was patient all the while supporting me, educating me, and being realistic with me. I will never forget my phone conversations with him. Rob is just a solid, good man and he's there to watch your back. He advocated for me... And all I can say is I am so happy with how everything turned out. Thank you.

David was my rock during a very nerve wracking and scary time in my life. He worked extremely hard on my behalf during a complicated, contested divorce. I came to David at my lowest point, as a mother of two young kids who needed a way out of a bad marriage that was quickly getting out of control. I interviewed several lawyers before deciding to go with David. What sets him apart from the pack is his high EQ. Right away, he could sense my fear and anxiety about the divorce process (and the prospective cost) and helped calm my nerves by communicating with empathy, understanding, patience, and clarity. In our initial consultation, he jotted down the divorce process in very simple steps which really helped me with my fears about the complex legal system. His willingness to spend the extra few minutes to educate me on legal terms and processes in simple, easy to understand terms was worth the price of the divorce. He helped me save my house, me and my kids safety, and my sanity. David did not sugar coat or lead me to believe any of this would easy, but he made me feel that I would have a partner so I was not as afraid of the unknown. David always spoke in a calm and reassuring tone (not condescending) that helped me see clearly through the dark clouds. I'll always remember the words he said at the end of our initial consultation "let's get you your divorce," and he did, but he got me so much more--my freedom. I will be forever thankful to him for that.

I worked with David on my lengthy and difficult divorce. Needless to say how emotional and confusing it can be. This was my first need for an attorney, and a good friend highly recommended him. I immediately felt heard in a personal way and confident with the no nonsense communications to my ex. He appears in court as an elegant and completely prepared man, who is in charge. We achieved our desired goals and he supported me in all ways. I highly recommend David as an attorney that you can rely on.

It's been my recent experience that Zinn Law and Co. Are the best in the Bay at handling personal injury cases. When it comes to getting hit off your bike in the city, as I was, there really is no amount of$that can heal such injuries.

Believe all the negative reviews here because the positive reviews are highly suspect.
I used Terry for a legal matter and would not recommend him.
I never had the urge to write a review on Yelp, but here I am and out of all the business establishments to write one about, it was a law firm and not a restaurant.
My main issue I had was that Terry was very rude to me! He was rude to the person who was paying him. That alone should tell you everything. He secretly judges you. I honestly feel as if I was paying someone while they were not caring about my situation. Terry is one of the most u professional attorneys I have ever met. The fact that his wife lives on this page to cover up his actions is appalling. It's about time you stop enabling him!
Please do your self a favor and find another capable attorney from a more reputable law firm.
Some of the issues I had with Terry included him being abusive to me and yelling at me and cutting me off while talking. He also made me do my own legal work because he was so lazy. I had such an unpleasant experience with him. He mentally scarred me! He also was very unprepared. It's as if he never been to law school. He didn't know certain legal procedures to the point where I now have to hire another attorney. A more capable attorney to fix his mess. At least I am now treated with respect for my legal matter and he is handling it more professionally. Unlike Terry.
I could go on but please save yourself and use another law firm. These reviews cannot be for the same person. A small law firm has reviews akin to a popular restaurant. Who are these people?!
Terry also seems to have issues with billing. Especially from what I have read. It seems they do this often. I was also defrauded by this practice. Apparently he was also reported to the Bar. I suspect that this is normal business for this law firm. So if you use this firm, check your Billings or else they will just over-bill you for work never done.
Please stay away! You are welcome.

Used Mayo & Mayo for a legal matter. I selected them based on their Yelp rating and that they were close to my office. I would not recommend this law firm based on my interaction with both individuals. I felt that the quality of service could have been better. Also I do agree that Terry can be bit rude to his clients. I felt I got similar treatment. I also did not like how I was quoted one fee and then asked for additional funds with no hourly breakdown. Overall I would say to use another law firm. I didn’t have much time to pick so I choose poorly. Don’t make my mistake.
To the owner, please provide better service and treat your clients with respect.

At least I am now treated with respect for my legal matter and he is handling it more professionally. Unlike Terry.
I could go on but please save yourself and use another law firm. These reviews cannot be for the same person. A small law firm has reviews akin to a popular restaurant. Who are these people?!
Terry also seems to have issues with billing. Especially from what I have read. It seems they do this often. I was also defrauded by this practice. Apparently he was also reported to the Bar. I suspect that this is normal business for this law firm. So if you use this firm, check your Billings or else they will just over-bill you for work never done.
Please stay away! You are welcome.

Used Mayo & Mayo for a legal matter. I selected them based on their Yelp rating and that they were close to my office. I would not recommend this law firm based on my interaction with both individuals. I felt that the quality of service could have been better. Also I do agree that Terry can be bit rude to his clients. I felt I got similar treatment. I also did not like how I was quoted one fee and then asked for additional funds with no hourly breakdown. Overall I would say to use another law firm. I didn’t have much time to pick so I choose poorly. Don’t make my mistake.
To the owner, please provide better service and treat your clients with respect.
