Mr Jerry Elashmawy deserves way more than 5 Stars. I cannot begin to explain my fear of being in a situation I have never faced before. I was extremely unsure and stressed about the potential outcome, however from the start he treated me as a human being. It wasn't about money, it was about respect, compassion and decency. At the time when everything happened, I was facing a lot and trying to get my family to a safer location to live, he actually did a payment plan which HELPED financially since we had just gotten approved for a safe, new apartment for us and our kids.
He went above and beyond to make sure everything would be dismissed and having the UTMOST patience. He had no issues even communicating with my husband, especially with my anxiety. On top of handling everything as private as possible, even on the day of court. He walked me through everything, he spoke to me and handle everything with care, he went above and beyond to understand my family dynamics. I have never had to hire a lawyer, there were many options but I just felt when I prayed to hire him, and I thank GOD for direction! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! HIGHLY recommended!!! God bless!!
PS-I am EXTREMELY antisocial and everything was handle professionally via texts, calls and emails! I am forever THANKFUL!

The first time in my life i had to hire an Attorney
Jerry Elashmawy. My friend filed a criminal and civil complaint against me , I was arrested and spent few days in jail. Jerry helped me to navigate my release from Jail .
Jerry informed me that my case is somewhat complicated and that he will try to help me to prove my Innocence.
I was also in danger to be deported from the Country if he would not be able to succeed.
He took both of my cases to trial and was so effective in his testimony that you can probably see that kind of performance only in the movies .
Both of the cases where dismissed against me .
If you looking for a Criminal Attorney that will get the job done and not going to give up on you, You need Jerry Elashmawy . Jerry is not just a Criminal lawyer he is a Trial Criminal Lawyer.
Thank You Jerry for Saving my life .

My case started 5 years ago with Mr. Milvidskiy and his law firm. I had a really complicated immigration case but he took his time to listen carefully, very professional and gave his honest opinion in my first consultation. What I love about his approach is how "brutally honest" he was with me every step of the way. If you are like me and hate anyone sugar coating stuffs then you have found the right lawyer. It was a long journey to get here as a US citizen eventually but I wouldn't have it any other way. Some top qualities include professionalism - always, intelligent and well versed in immigration law. I highly recommend and thanks for taking my case on!

My husband and I couldn't be happier with the services provided by Andrey Milvidskiy and his associate, Pamela. We were looking for an attorney that we could relate to in formulating our Estate Plan to preserve our assets for which weâve worked hard all of our lives. Having been a paralegal for over 20 years, I researched âelder careâ attorneys for several months before we consulted with Andrey. Andrey provided guidance throughout the process of developing our Estate Plan, which put us at complete ease. His expertise in the field of elder law and estate planning coupled with his business and financial sense is unparalleled. I canât recommend this law firm highly enough.

I never met Brad and he does not know me from Adam.
I emailed him and called his office and spoke with Natalie in panic because I received IRS letter I did not understand about levy she couldn`t be more understanding and very professional. (BTW I found Brad on line and his reviews were outstanding)
He answered my email and later called and explained my options.
I am retired and was worried about my social security my credit rating etc.
Thank you Brad, I slept better.

The phenomenal work that Brad performed for my case was well worth that first consultation visit. He made me feel like I was in good hands and that he had plenty of experience in my particular situation. I was handed a $160K levy by the IRS which I could not handle on my own. After researching many other tax law firms in San Diego, RJS Law was on the top of the list. Soon after speaking with Brad Paladini during my free consultation is when I knew that I could set my worries on this matter to the side as he immediately knew what steps to take to dispute the charges, as well as remedy the âmiscommunicationâ, which eventually led to my current liability owed of $0. He handled all of the communication between the IRS and myself so that way nothing was lost in translation. I cannot thank Brad enough for his assistance. He was always available to answer my questions and was very professional throughout the entire time. Peace of mind is what I have now. I highly recommend Brad Paladini for tax representation.

Katherine's mere presence speaks volumes of her ability to accomplish what she sets out to do. In my opinion, you won't find a better attorney. She believed that we would win my case and very quickly I believed also and we won! If there is a Top Attorney award, Katherine should be presented with such accolades. I now recommend Katherine to everyone who is in need of her services. Thank you Kate!

Mr. Lieberman is by far the best attorney I have worked with. I just started a new healthcare practice and he has been instrumental in ensuring my office and staff were compliant with al state and federal regulations. He set up my company within a day and has always answered my questions within a few hours. It is tough to find an attorney who truly cares about your businesses values. I felt like a true client and not like a number which I felt with before I started working with Mr. Lieberman. He is honest, fair and very affordable. I highly recommend him for all your small business needs.

I want to say Attorney Brian McCann and his staff are awesome. I was hesitant to let him take my case because of the long distance. I started looking online for attorneys and spoke to many. What made Brian unique was the time he took with me on the phone he was not rushing me to get to the point of the case he let me say everything I wanted to say, other lawyers just did not want to hear everything they wanted just the reason of me calling them. I am in a different state but he heard me out without hesitation he started working on my case and within a week and a half case closed. I would recommend him to anyone he was on top of everything and takes the time to thoroughly listen to you.

Brian's law firm took the finest care of my case. I was floundering for 3 years with another attorney until I was recommended to Cavalli and McCann. From day one, Brian demonstrated competence and a sincere thoughtfulness that allowed me to focus on what was necessary and not stress out over what wasn't. There were a lot of factors in my case and I stood to lose everything. I lost nothing!! His legal knowledge, practical common sense and understanding of the court and the players really paid off.

I have known Lindsey for almost a year now. She is very thorough and detail in her work. I had approached her for processing my EB1 Case and my case was not very straightforward and we had time constraints and also had to produce a top class end result to get my case approved.
Lindsey worked with me through out the duration and was able to guide + direct me in the EB1 Process. Within the promised time frame, I was able to get my EB1-140 approved and Lindsey played a major contribution.
I will deftnly reccomend Lindsey for her work ethics, depth of knowledge in her expert area (EB1 is what I had worked with her), patience and ability to stay focussed during tough times. Most importantly, I admired her professionalism [best in class]...
Rgds,
Bala.

Special mention to Ainsley Harrel who showed significant depth in a technical topic that I had to develop along with her to reinforce my petition. She went above and beyond to spend time listening to me, understand my role, contributions, that eventually made it to my petition. Together, Harry and his team were prompt, encouraging, strategic, fast, empathetic and were available throughout my journey to talk with me on my situation, petition development and in general give me the success that I wanted.

This attorney will waste your time by dragging on questions to see how much money to over charge an estate and propose an unethical binding (in my opinion) agreement to retain his legal services.
After sending an abundance of documents regarding my case for two weeks, he failed to respond regarding my concern of his contract agreement. In my opinion, he proposed an unreasonable retainer amount and other stipulations in proposed retainer agreement as manipulation tactic to avoid taking on my case through me refusing to his ridiculous law firm's contract agreement.
Thank God I found an ethical attorney who's retainer fee and consulting fee charges to be the average cost for an estate litigation attorney. In my opinion, Mark Balian and his associates seek out how much to over charge through discovery in an estate's value. I don't recommend this firm or attorney.
