My mom was recently involved in an accident and ended up going with FSE. She couldn’t be happier with the quality of their work and only has great things to say about this firm.
Caroline, the case manager, was on top of the case and kept my mom updated throughout the whole process. This really helped my mom feel at ease the whole time, she knew she was in good hands. We ended up getting a great settlement within 8 months.
Will definitely be referring them to our friends and family.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Jean (my attorney) on my EB-2 NIW case, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From start to finish, she was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, transparent, and supportive. Her commitment to her clients is truly remarkable, and her expertise in her craft is unmatched.

Thanks to Ms. Domanski, my NIW petition was filed smoothly and successfully this week. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate through this complex process. If you’re looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely caring attorney, I highly recommend Attorney Domanski, who I got to know through a friend's recommendation. Her timely communication that kept me informed and confident, and she filed my petition in a few days after I got all my reference letters to her despite her busy schedule.

Their office was very prompt to answer inquiries, and they were organized as much as possible. They gave lists when needed especially with the requirements, set up meetings in a timely manner, and accommodated our schedules. Atty. explained the rationale behind every step of the process and thoroughly explained my options and possible outcomes. It felt that I was over prepared when it was my turn for the interview. They were very transparent with fees from start to end. Thank you Atty. and Joseph!

Boyadjian law group is a close relative of mine and typically I would not review such close family but they recently helped me out with my car accident and they accomplished what I could not on my own. It is so refreshing when you do not have to deal with the hassle of a car accodent on your own.

My friend recommended Arpa to take care of my complex criminal and licensure case. Arpa’s office promptly scheduled an appointment to meet and discuss the charges I was facing after I posted bail. Before the meeting with Arpa, I was distraught, depressed, and severely anxious. The court system is difficult to navigate and extremely intimidating, especially when you are feeling vulnerable and your emotions are running high. I was like a deer caught in the headlights.
Upon meeting Arpa, I felt heard throughout our conversation, his willingness to listen was very obvious and refreshing. From the get-go, Arpa was focused in my case in a very empathetic and collaborative way. The way he explored the details, circumstances, mental state, and prior history was done by creating a safe environment of confidentiality in his office. He guided me in how to gather information that would be helpful during the discovery phase of the pre-trial investigation.
Speaking of the legal process, Arpa helped me understand the timeline with a helpful diagram explaining in detail all of the steps and moves in the court system. I appreciated his honest way of presenting the realistic possible ramifications from positive to challenging outcomes; he was very honest and did not sugarcoat how the District Attorney Office thinks and executes their plan of action against defendants. As difficult as it was to digest all of this information, Arpa emphasized that in order to achieve the best outcome, we had to work as a team to tackle and cover every angle of my case.
Initially, I felt powerless in a system completely outside my control and understanding; however, Arpa advocated for me and guided me with the decision-making process of selecting the best outcome under my circumstances. His past experience of working with the District Attorney Office was obvious when he anticipated every Prosecutor’s move in my case. I was very satisfied with the manner in which he negotiated and managed my case with the Prosecutor. Arpa did a fabulous job in presenting me the best and worst case scenarios; this was very helpful in preparing myself mentally when I entered a plea and during the sentencing hearing. When I reflect back on my case, one thing comes to mind: It takes two to tango.
Thank you Arpa for walking next to me during this difficult time in my life, and for motivating me in looking forward to writing the next chapter of my life!

I'm a disabled veteran with PTSD who got a DUI after a pretty bad panic attack. Arpa was able to help me get a military deferment, which it turned out was pretty hard to do in this particular case. As a result, if I do everything the judge mandated, I can get it dropped completely, charge and arrest.

Prior to his taking on my case, another lawyer was already "representing" me. In retrospect, there is no basis for comparison. Arpa is very skilled(KNOWS his stuff), approachable, relatable and courteous. By that I mean he is not standoffish or demeaning or unnecessarily intimidating. He was recommended to me by a family friend and till date I am and will always be exceedingly glad I listened to the advice I received. Upon speaking with him over the phone, he willingly drove to meet me at a coffee shop located in my city of residence. He offered to get me some coffee and then proceeded to fully hear me out. He then asked me detailed clarifying questions, confirmed all my responses and then he took on my case. I was in a tragic car accident that nearly cost me my life. The last thing I needed was an Attorney who was a migrane. To anyone in need of the best legal representation, look no further please. Seriously. Below is much more details as to why you'll actually be forever grateful as I am, if you hire Arpa as your Attorney. Arpa did above and beyond what I expected and what is typically the norm behavior where Attorneys are concerned. My Dad and Uncle are Lawyers so I personally know and could tell the difference. From the onset Arpa genuinely empathized and made big moves to bring about an outcome that was most closest to the justice that needed to come about in my case. He vigorously pursued, advocated and negotiated BIG on my behalf. Thanks to his stellar negotiation skills THOUSANDS of dollars that I don't have and would have to pay was withdrawn. He got them to see why they should do so. I will forever be indebted and I will be recommending him to family, friends, acquaintances, strangers and whoever else in need of the highest quality legal representation.

I don’t write a lot of reviews but I was so happy and thankful for the good experience I had working with Ajalat Law and I thought it might help someone else who is looking for a personal injury lawyer. Everything about my experience with Greg Ajalat was awesome!! To begin with he told me he wanted to do some research before agreeing to take my case, because it was a complicated one. I could tell he wasn’t just going to take my money no matter what, and really wanted to be sure it made sense to move forward with my claim.
At every step Mr. Ajalat kept me informed about what he was doing, how long it would take, and what possibilities we could expect. When there were several options, he talked me through them and didn’t pressure me at all to choose one or the other, just explained them to me and let me choose. There were no unexpected expenses. Even though my case was complicated and it was hard to predict how much the settlement would be, Mr. Ajalat gave me an estimate, and was able to get me an amount at the top of that range!
The whole time I felt like I was talking to a real human being, who cared about my situation, thought carefully about things before making decisions, and genuinely wanted me to have a good experience with his firm. Mr. Ajalat was respectful and kind and made what could have been a very stressful situation much better. If you have a case of this type I recommend this firm so highly!

My husband and I strongly recommend Ajalat and Ajalat whom we depend on for all legal issues. In our car related personal injury case Greg Ajalat was not only a great advocate but also a personal support offering wise counsel all the way through the process. He always was available and made the process as painless as possible. I highly recommend Greg. More recently we worked with Larry Ajalat to create our Living Trust. Larry was thoughtful, a good listener as well as extremely competent providing us with excellent guidance as he helped us to make decisions about our future.

I worked with Vardan on my accident case in which my whole family was involved and our car was totaled. Vardan is absolutely the best attorney you can find. He has outstanding customer service skills and is available to answer questions at any time of the day. He also explains the process in great details, lets you know of next steps and keeps you informed throughout the lengthy process, which can take up to 2 years to finalize. He put together comprehensive documentation for our case and earned us maximum settlement with the auto insurance. In addition, thanks to his outstanding negotiation skills, he was able to reduce the treating doctors' lien claims, which further increased our settlement. We were very pleased with the outcome of our personal injury case. I wholeheartedly recommend Vardan and his entire law group.

I've known Todd for more than 10 years and have worked with him several times on a variety of transactional issues, including drafting, and formation of business entities. What I find most important is that he always returns my emails and phone calls very quickly. Todd’s professional advice has been invaluable and I highly recommend him for all of your business, transactional and entertainment legal needs.

Took $10,000 and no results. Michael seems a pleasant lawyer and a good salesman but results were seriously lacking. Always conflicting information between his office and the courts. And seemed to forget specifics of the case in follow up meetings. I always got the feeling he had more important cases to attend to. It’s overall a disappointing experience! I would not recommend.

I met Sean almost 14 years ago just by calling the number that I heard on the radio in case somebody gets into an automobile accident. He happened to be the one who answered the phone. He was a very good listener, compassionate and was very easy to talk to. Right away I felt comfortable with him. He has helped us 4 or more times since then and we’ve referred several clients to him as well. We keep going to him because he always gets the job done. Thanks, Sean!

Unhappy with outcome, as I could have gotten the same results representing myself and saving $1,800. Maybe she quoted her fee at that low amount because she knew that she didn't need much incentive and would not be doing much for me besides filing papers and getting one plea option, with no actual defense or effort put forth or contesting on her end.
For all who read this $1,800 is a lot for just paperwork, but very little for quality representation, which is not what I got. My penalties and fees were that of a repeat offender, which I was NOT. I would've represented myself and filed my own paperwork if I'd known better. Some attorneys never understand the weight of the responsibility for their clients future they bear when they take on cases, accept retainers and fees, and don't even try. DUI/DWI, from my experience, Madeline is not the best choice. Other attorneys I've consulted with and even personal friends of mine have said that there may have been other approaches to my case to explore. This attorney is just lazy. I do not recommend.

I was charged with multiple DUI offences. My attorney Madeline Galadjian never made any false promises she told me the reality, from the begining. She told me the best and worst possible outcome, and what I needed to do on my own to improve myself. she always responded to any of my calls and met me in person before every court appearance. I wass speech less. The outcome was beyond my expectations.

Jeff Weiss is the BEST criminal defense attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with during a criminal trial a couple years back. I have recently been dissecting a lot of information about criminal trials I find on the news and I can't help but remember the kind of attorney Jeff was. He was strategic, well prepared, and the most important factor I looked for- he was experienced! If you are currently struggling in a circumstance where you need an attorney to get you out of a tough criminal situation, talk to Jeff! He's reasonable and worth every penny! Take my word for it, I promise he will not fail you when the judicial system is failing you!

Jeff is a very good Defense Attorney. He uses excellent defense legal strategy, stays current on the laws and statues, shows up for appearances, and has empathy for the client. Specifically, Jeff gets the job done, by working the case in the client's best interest. Jeff's fees are reasonable, especially compared to most Criminal Lawyers.

In April of 2016, I called to ask if my mom had a DNR. At this time I was offered that a POA be mailed (which I DID NOT ask for) with the DNR. In June when my 82 year old mother was facing major hospital bills , I found out my POA did not work. Why did they not know it would not work????? In June 2016 (when my POA did not work) I was treated like a criminal by secretary (?) Susan. After consulting several law firms, I was a made aware that Susan's questions where not warranted, she had no right to ask. I was charged $250.00 to amend the trust and still had to go to another firm for proper POA. Nothing these people do makes any sense. Proceed with caution. How was I not a criminal in April,but became one in June? Oh, maybe because that shXX they sold my mom didn't work and they wanted more money? WHEE

Specific issue: Carrying out a Trust
I became the excutor of a trust. My friend pasted away and I was honored to carry out his final wishes. The law office of Michael Bilson was named in the trust by my friend. I contacted Michael's office to make an appointment to start my task. I have to mention Michael's office staff and thier professionalism. Gail and Susan were so helpful with any question I had, and I had a lot. Their contribution to assist the process was fantasic. Personable and friendly with every meeting. Private meetings with Michael were efficient and educational. I was reassured every step of the process. I wanted to do the best I could to expedite carrying out this process to help my friend's family. After my first meeting and we got the ball rolling I was johnny on the spot with every doument that needed to be signed to move this on in a fast pace. A real estate agent was recomended and that was a good experience for me too. I complied all the finances and paid out to the family what was willed to them. When I signed the final checks, the whole process was completed in about 90 days.
I been assured that the law office of Michael Bilson is a place that I can be taken care of.

Very disappointed in the lack of communication. It has been since 2005 that my 132a happened. He never returns calls. I call and Maria the receptionist always says she will call me back.
