I usually do not write reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience for anyone facing the stress of serious legal threats—call attorney Donald Matson! He took the time to listen, thoroughly analyze the situation, and explain potential scenarios and outcomes with exceptional expertise, clarity, patience, and empathy. He even responded promptly to my text at Friday evening family dinner time! He restored my faith in humanity!

I called Michele out of the blue and she was able to take swift action. My situation was stressful to say the least, and after talking it over with her, she put my mind at rest. After being thoroughly detailed on the process and her plan of action, she went to work. She completed my case and was able to get it thrown out of court entirely. I couldn't be more grateful and I can now move forward without any worries. I will certainly call upon Michele Ferroni again if the need ever arises.

My husband and I sought legal advice to help our son when his school/district wanted to eliminate his IEP before attending middle school. I asked around and Mark Woodsmall's name continued to come up as the expert in helping families with neurodiverse kids who also may be 2E. Mark was loving and caring in every step and his team assisted us in understanding the process. Mark's commitment to understanding and addressing our needs and helping us navigate the process was above and beyond. He took the time to understand our child's strengths and challenges, ensuring that the educational plan was both comprehensive and personalized. Throughout the process, Mark Woodsmall maintained clear and open communication, promptly addressing our concerns and providing guidance at every step. I am in awe of his dedication and knowledge of the system. I would want him on our side any day.

Navigating the complexities of twice-exceptional (2e) education is an incredibly challenging and often overwhelming task. As parents of two 2e children, we found ourselves in need of expert guidance to ensure our kids received the specialized education they are entitled to and deserve. Woodsmall Law Group provided us with the support we desperately needed. The team at Woodsmall Law Group is exceptional not only in their legal expertise but also in their understanding and compassion as parents themselves. They offered us invaluable guidance through the intricacies of the IEP process and Special Education, ensuring our children's educational rights were upheld and their unique needs met. I cannot overstate the dedication, professionalism, and personalized care the team at Woodsmall brought to our advocacy journey and the significant impact its made on our family. We highly recommend Woodsmall Law Group to any parents seeking advocacy for their children's educational needs. Their expertise and heartfelt commitment have made all the difference for our family.

I had an exceptional experience working with Baghdaserians Law Group on my child custody case. From start to finish, the entire team showed professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation. Tarek Kholaki was the attorney, and I cannot say enough about his dedication. He remembered every aspect of my case and meticulously prepared all of my declarations, ensuring they were accurate, detailed, and effectively represented my position. His attention to detail and clear communication made the process smooth and stress-free. For my hearings, Daniel Leonetti represented me in court. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to advocate for me both in and out of the courtroom were outstanding. I felt confident knowing I had such skilled representation. One thing I appreciated most was how seamless the communication and collaboration were between Tarek and Daniel. Together, they ensured that no detail was overlooked and that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Patrick Baghdaserian also played a vital role behind the scenes, providing invaluable support to the team as a whole. His contributions ensured that everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the entire team worked together efficiently and effectively. I also want to commend the office staff, who were always warm, welcoming, and highly organized. They made a potentially stressful situation much easier by ensuring that all paperwork was handled correctly and on time. I never had to worry about administrative details, which allowed me to focus on my case with peace of mind. There were no drawbacks to my experience. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my child. I wholeheartedly recommend Tarek Kholaki, Daniel Leonetti, Patrick Baghdaserian, and the entire Baghdaserians Law Group team. Their professionalism, teamwork, and genuine commitment to their clients set them apart. If you’re facing a child custody case, you’ll be in excellent hands with this group.

Tried to get a phone to call to see if I could hire or see if we would be a good fit. Just wanted to charge $375 for initial consult. I asked if that would go towards retainer and clerk did not know. I was offered email with info that’s generic? Then she said best of luck and have a great day? Not really the type of server I was expecting. I did not necessarily want to speak with attorney just yet. A paralegal would have been fine. Was willing to sign a retainer so long it was worth pursuing. Not the best way to sale the firm services.

I had a very, very tricky Personal Injury ("slip and fall") case that my own attorney eventually rejected. It's got a lot of risk, it involves attorney-expense, time, etc. It's against a Major Bank who vigorously defends such claims, etc. For so many reasons it's WRONG for the top attorneys in this field. Many or most who either hung-up on me or didn't call back, write back, acknowledge receipt of previous attorney's Demand Letter, etc. Even my own attorney was very lukewarm and unable to give this much time. I understood and understand it all. The fact that an attorney showed interest at all buoyed my surgery and necessary physical rehab, which took a good six months just to again walk. So either way I won, either way this turned out well because I'm walking again, in the gym, exercising, etc. Attorney Katz was just awesome in that he spent some time on the phone (despite being busy and involved in at LEAST one other trial). Returned all calls. If he said and says he'll call he does and did. I was just amazed at the Class-Level given the fact this Slip-and-Fall case is not an attractive proposition. I knew when my first attorney said he's bailing that it was a one-shot thing, a Demand Letter then everyone go home. People have to make a living, pay the rent, it has to make sense for these top guys. From what I understand, Attorney Katz is about as "Tops" as it gets. My first attorney was SURPRISED to hear Attorney Katz expressed ANY interest. (thought maybe I misunderstood or had wax in my ears). He said REALLY, Richard M. KATZ returned a call on this - wow - did Attorney Katz SEE the Demand Letter?! Which just shows how other attorneys in this field regard Attorney Katz - as the top of the top. I'm writing this because I just got off the phone with Attorney Katz. He AGAIN called back (each time I'm shocked), this is THIRD time even though he senses/knows there's nothing very strong - or unusual - or favorable about my position. Which is okay, as written I recovered, I'm well, I'm exercising again - as written the THOUGHT there might be compensation for a difficult year BUOYED my rehab, at least gave me some hope. So Attorney Katz, just wanted to come here, reflect on what a class guy you are - and how anyone needing a top Los Angeles-Pasadena-Glendale-based attorney should first consult you. I'm really in awe in light of the response from the others - and my respect for you knows no bounds. Thanks very much again for your time and attention: Joseph K

I worked with Hackler Flynn & Associates on multiple inquiries regarding employment law spanning months, more than a year even and every inquiry I had was quickly and professionally addressed along with very articulate explanations to the legal concepts I was naive about. In addition, for every inquiry, not only did I receive a straight-forward rundown of the process, the turn-around time was always extremely reasonable which meant that the goals I was working through were addressed and I could move our business needs to the next step sooner than later. I now know what source I will go to for future inquiries, as Hackler Flynn & Associates understands how to address our legal needs.

I would not go with them again. They continuously gave me false information about the tow yard, the other persons insurance, the amount I would be receiving and that was only when I reached out. Never got a call or email to notify me of what was going on. They did win my case but it was a easy win, it was 100% not may fault so. I think on top of the trauma and problems that the accident brought me, they just piled on. Also offered to mail my check faster if I gave a review.....

I highly recommend this law office for anyone needing representation after an accident! I was hit in a car accident and chose this firm to represent me — I couldn't be happier with the results. Stephanie and Angie were incredible from start to finish. They kept me informed, answered my questions quickly, and made the whole process much less stressful. They genuinely cared about my case, and thanks to their hard work and dedication, we won and I received a great settlement. If you're looking for a team that's professional, compassionate, and truly invested in your case, this is the place to go!

I highly recommend the McNally law firm. They provided excellent assistance to my brother and me after we were rear-ended by a pickup truck. Angie was particularly helpful in scheduling our doctor appointments and ensuring we received timely updates via phone and email. Mr. Frank McNally is an ideal attorney, especially when dealing with insurance companies and seeking fair compensation for damages. He personally called to assure us that he was fighting for our best interests, and he certainly delivered. The team at McNally is straightforward and honest, making our experience stress-free.

When I was facing a nasty divorce and child-custody battle, I did a lot of online research and discovered that Gary Kearney was the most respected family-law attorney in the Pasadena area, highly rated by clients and peers alike. I retained him immediately after a brief consultation interview. Over the next couple of years, Mr. Kearney helped me not only to resolve the divorce to my satisfaction but also to combat my ex's attempts to stall, complicate, hinder, and vex the custody case over my son. Thanks to Mr. Kearney and his team's efforts, today I have 80% custody of my 14-year-old son and I'm very happy with the divorce settlement. In terms of demeanor, Kearney is extremely professional, poised, calm, and caring, and he was also very patient in answering my barrage of questions. I would also add that Kearney has a splendid legal support team that includes the delightful Laurie (paralegal) and Darlene (legal secretary), both of whom provided not only timely and efficient service but also sincere emotional support throughout the long ordeal. I was very fortunate and will be forever grateful to have had Gary Kearney and his team on my side.

I cannot be 100% specific in my case as the information is very sensitive. However, I was wrongfully terminated from 2 employers due to racial discrimination and whistleblowing. My case took maybe 2 years to get resolved for one and less than a year for the other to get resolved, but the outcome was better than what I expected. They were both settled and I did not have to go to court which was good. I was prepared to though if we had to go. She did a good job with explaining to me about the process and the pros and cons of each case . Lauren was very good at communicating at all times. She is by far the best lawyer ever. Being a person of color I felt heard and understood. I also knew 100% that she cared about my situation and it wasn’t just about money and that made me very appreciative. People who are greedy tend to not handle things right, but Lauren definitely made me feel like she wanted to do all she could to help me and she did. She deserved every penny and more really! Thank you for everything you did for me. I really appreciate you!

Lauren is a gem in her field. She guided me through every step of the process with ease and is a great explainer. Because of that, I somehow found myself less overwhelmed than I thought I would be. When you interact and get to know her, you realize that she's doing exactly what she was meant to do in this life time. She is diligent, caring, and calm. She also truly wants to see this world be a better place and works hard to make it so!

After being thoroughly detailed on the process and her plan of action, she went to work. She completed my case and was able to get it thrown out of court entirely.

I hired Vincent based on good reviews and a referral from a friend. His rate seemed reasonable, so I decided to work with him. Our initial conversation was smooth, although brief, and I felt confident moving forward. I paid the retainer on 8/17, and he promptly filed the initial form on 8/19. When he informed me that papers were served on 8/27 and the respondent had 30 days to respond, I thought things were progressing well. However, my positive impression quickly faded. I followed up with him on 9/11 and 9/18 without any response. He finally called on 9/19, four hours late, and reassured me that “everything was fine.” When I questioned why he hadn’t filed the proof of service of summons, he brushed it off, saying it wasn’t necessary to file it right away and would handle it later. He advised waiting until mid-October, to which I agreed. From there, communication became nonexistent. I followed up on 10/14 with no reply and reached out again on 10/24, 10/25, and 10/28—still nothing. Aside from filing the initial paper with the court, he has done absolutely nothing further on my case. When I contacted the courthouse myself, I learned that my case had been left completely unattended, with the court even requesting a status update due to inactivity. Vincent’s behavior was not only unresponsive but also unprofessional at every turn. Missing scheduled calls, failing to provide updates, and ignoring my questions demonstrated a lack of respect for my time and trust. He even used a personal “gmail.com” email account instead of a professional one, which, looking back, was an early red flag. His entire approach felt more like a one-man show than a legitimate law firm. Vincent comes off as convincing and charming on the phone (when you can reach him), but if you’re looking for someone who will swiftly take a retainer, make empty promises, and waste your time, he’s your guy. I wasted two months trusting that he was working on my case while, in reality, he had abandoned it. Now I’m forced to dismiss the case he filed and start over—an unfortunate setback given the lengthy court process. Please beware of Vincent when choosing a lawyer to represent your case. His unprofessionalism, lack of accountability, and disregard for his clients’ time make him a poor choice if you need real legal representation.

I hired Patricia for a few different services. I had 2 prior convictions. She helped me vacate both convictions. She also helped me get my green card (which was not easy with my type of convictions) I travel to Mexico about 2 weeks ago and on my way back I was detained. They paroled me and send me to deferred inspection. I was in fear that they would put me into deportation proceedings. But I hired Patricia and she saved me once again! Now I have my citizenship application pending which she also helped me out with. I can’t wait to be a citizen and live my life in peace and prosperity. Thank you Patty!

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. 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.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. 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.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
