I have dealt with lawyers in the past and this was by far the best experience I've had. Ryan was very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to my concerns and went over all my options and all possible outcomes. I would recommend him to anyone.

I hired Ms. Lord to deal with my divorce. After getting consultations from other attorneys she seemed like a perfect fit and I was right. She is fair, she is extremely knowledgeable in everything family law, and when I was either upset or didn’t know something she explained it to me in a way I would understand it. Hiring an attorney is always going to cost money but you will not regret the money spent on her services it was well worth every penny. Once you find her there is no need to look further.

We hired Elizabeth in early 2019 and we successfully obtained legal guardianship over our grandchildren. Than 2 in a half years later she represented us for terminating Parental Rights of parents which was granted, and from there she helped us with finalizing our adoption. She is very thorough, knows the law and will not say something can be done unless it can. She will respond to your e-mails and listen to your concerns.

I cannot express in words how amazing Elisabeth is at her job!
I was thrown into a world I knew nothing about — Family Law. Elisabeth never once sugarcoated anything— she worked her butt off! Walked me through every step of the process!
Elisabeth has a work ethic that is unmatched and continued to deliver at every appearance! I was beyond impressed watching her command the court room with grace, compassion and most of all— knowledge of the law!

I hired Mr. Kassel last year and from the beginning to the end he made the whole process very easy for me. The girls in the front were always super friendly and very understanding anytime I had a question. I would recommend Mr. Kassel if you were looking to hire an attorney.

Received a charge and lived out of state. Hiring Mr. Kassel allowed me to not have to travel back and forth for hearings. Him and his staff made the process easy. Fair prices. Case dismissed. Hopefully I never have to, but would use again in a heartbeat.

Jim Gass has done a phenomenal job on behalf of my little brother.
His top-tier legal defense instincts, experience and expertise are beyond question in San Bernardino County (SBC).
His stand-alone outcome differentiator of having 'won more felony jury trials than any other attorney in SBC,' speaks for itself.
As a dedicated family man Jim also dedicates his time and energy to the emotional as well as legal well-being of his clients. No sooner did my little brother meet with Jim than his entire demeanor changed.
Operationally, Jim maintains an excellent rapport with courtroom colleagues on both sides of the justice system aisle, as is also all-too-critical to optimizing outcomes.
Jim has my most sincere thanks, and I highly recommend him for legal defense services in the SBC area.

I am also a criminal defense lawyer and have been since 1997. Jim Gass was actually one of my supervising attorneys when I was a law clerk and in the first 3 years of my practice I worked with him extensively. He supervised my first jury trial. I have represented co-defendants in cases with him.
If I needed a lawyer to defend me in trial, I would move Heaven and Earth to convince Jim to represent me. I am not at all exaggerating.
I have seen...I don't know...maybe thousands of criminal defense attorneys in action. I have seen criminal defense lawyers who are flashier and undoubtedly more comfortable with charging people crazy high fees because, after all, being a little full of BS is part of the business side of criminal defense. I don't know how to say this as a positive thing but, I don't think that Jim is good at convincing people to fork over their entire life savings to represent them. He should be because he really is worth it.
Jim is exceptionally good in front of juries...exceptionally...really exceptionally. Are you getting that I am saying he is exceptionally good at connecting with normal types of people who end up on juries?
And, the other thing good about Jim is that he doesn't come across as threatening or arrogant to prosecutors even though they know he is a threat. So, while other criminal defense lawyers may tick off prosecutors and make them want to beat the lawyer, prosecutors in the Inland Empire courts just kind of know that he WILL beat them. It is that trait that allows Jim to effectively settle cases in my opinion.
I wish I could pull rabbits out of hats like Jim can. Anyone who writes a bad review doesn't know what they are talking about and I bet that most of the people who have reviewed him would give him stars that go beyond 5 if it were possible to do it.
Funny but, the only reason I am writing this review is that I have a former client who I just gave Jim's information to so I had to look him up on the internet to get the number. Those people will be in good hands if they hire him.

I was being prosecuted with charges that would essentially ruin my life and my career. Out of the gate Mr. Gass had a game plan that we stuck to and not only did I avoid many years in prison for being wrongfully accused he got my case completely dropped. I would highly recommend James to anyone that is need of criminal legal council. His professionalism, communication and knowledge of law is second to none. Thank you again Mr. Gass for helping me.

My financial planner recommended Jennifer Daniel for estate planning after another local attorney cashed my check and abandoned the process. She has completely exceeded my expectations. Jennifer is bright, articulate, organized, and professional. She spent a considerable amount of time with me in order to individualize the package (will, trust, power of attorney, etc.). This wasn't just a fill-in-the-blank process on a generic template. She took the time to get to know me before she ever generated the documents. All of my concerns were addressed and she helped me understand potential issues to which I had not given adequate - if any - consideration. No one wants to talk about estate planning, but I left our final signing meeting feeling relieved. The process is complete and there should be no questions as to my wishes and intentions. Jennifer has my highest recommendation.

Based upon two people who referred Attorney Jennifer Daniels to me I decided to make an appointment to obtain information relating to Estate Planning. She took time to answer my questions and go over the checklist paperwork that I need to locate prior to making my next appointment. I intend to hire her because I felt she was patient and I felt I could easily work with her personality. Very Professional, very knowledgable lady.

Patience, understanding, complete respect to our individual estate planning situation and desired goals. We just felt really comfortable and confident with Mr. Price throughout the entire process. With all the estate planning lawyers available, using Avvo as our primary research tool, we knew from our very first consultation with Mr. Price that we had selected the right legal consul for our estate planning needs. We do not routinely respond to survey requests or provide reviews, but Mr. Price definitely earned our time to provide him this review. Thank You to Avvo and Thank You to "Sam".

They were very helpful for a probate case, taking the time to explain everything to us. In the end, we decided not to go through with it. They gave us a full refund of our deposit, not charging us for the time they had spent with us. I would recommend Price Law Firm.

Although Mr. Hopper was not able to represent me, he did respond very quickly, and on time which was appreciated since my case was time sensitive. Mr. Hopper spent his time giving me (3) different resources for me to follow up on that might be able to help. Mr. Hopper sent me in the right direction to gain the legal help that I might require while giving me a better understanding of my legal standing. I found Mr. Hopper and his Associates to be highly professional and very ethical.

Mr. Hopper and his team are A++++++++++++++
They were caring and understanding from day one. He got our case resolved in 8months (probably shorter than norm) but we couldn't have resolved the issues with out him. His staff always was attentive as well as Mr. Hopper himself. They were very quick with replies and inquiries. We are very pleased with the outcome. Total professional and always kept our best interest at hand. (very rare) Always consultated and guided not overbearing.

Ms. Writer took care of business contract documents for me. She was highly professional and extremely quick in her work. When a small hiccup developed with the other party’s attorney, she was quick to resolve it. I plan on having her do more work for us on our family trust. I highly recommend her!

Ms. Writer was very thorough, she first sent us a detailed questionnaire to fill out so that she could prepare our trust and wills. My wife and I don't have very much but it was important for us to have what we do have protected from probate for our four children. We had the questionnaire for a few weeks and Ms. Writer called to follow up with us to see if we needed any help with it. She answered all of our questions and was pleasant and patient. Once we got the questionnaire back to her office, she sent us a draft to review, there were only a few changes that we wanted to make but as soon as we sent them back to her within a day or two, we received a call from her office that it was ready. Unfortunately, we were not able to come into the office to have the documents signed, my wife had to have emergency surgery and so instead of us signing the documents in the office, we signed in the hospital right before her surgery. Her office set us up with a mobile notary that came and took care of us. That was a huge relief for us. I most definitely would recommend Ms. Writer to anyone without a doubt.

We have been a client of Michael R. Abacherli, Attorney at Law, APC, since August 2020. Mr. Abacherli's firm helped us understand complex rules and laws related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) , as well as re-opening compliance requirements in the era of COVID-19. We found his professional consultations easy to understand, with exact steps to follow, even though we do not have any background in business law. It certainly made more sense than just reading the laws ourselves! Mr. Abacherli's firm has since helped us renew our corporate trademark, and we are now working together toward an SBA grant program for our small business - an option we didn't even know might be open to us! We highly recommend the services of Michael R. Abacherli, Attorney at Law, APC to any small business owner in need of legal guidance or advice.

I was fortunate to find a great lawyer who can help me in a tough moment while also showing compassion and the ability to work with me through any financial difficulties. I was recommended to Mr. Abacherli through an acquaintance, and I was immediately put at ease with the treatment I received and attention to detail. My case was handled by Mr. Abacherli, and he did a great job! He was easy to contact and communicate with. I feel that he really heard me in terms of my desired outcome and helped me set realistic expectations for my case. After the issue was resolved, he was very accommodating in terms of helping me set up a plan to pay my legal costs and I never felt that I was being taken advantage of or overcharged for anything. Like I said, extremely rare. Thank you so much to Mr. Abacherli!

Mr. Abacherli is truly knowledgeable and caring. I am relieved now that my situation is going to be resolve. I had some bad previous experience with other attorney which was frustrating. My former attorney had been working on my case for over a year, and it did not seem like the case was progressing. I decided to consult with another attorney. I ended up consulting with several. When I spoke to Michael Abacherli, I knew right away he was the attorney for my case. He answered all my questions and understood what I have been going through. The one thing that surprised me is that he did not think I needed an attorney, and that I could take care of my situation without one. When I told him, I wanted to have an attorney instead of trying to deal with this on my own, he said he could help me. Another thing that surprised me is that Mr. Abacherli did not ask for a lot of money up front. He explained what the case could cost, what his fees are, and agreed to take a small deposit to work on my case. I sincerely believe that he cares about my situation, and he is going to do everything to get it resolve quickly. L.Z.

We had been searching for an attorney to represent us in a dental malpractice case for 6 months . No one would take our case, we were very discouraged. My husband had been suffering with constant pain from a tooth that had been worked on 3 times. We finally decided to try another dentist. We discovered, that our pervious dentist had neglected to inform my husband of a broken instrument left in his tooth which had been causing the pain and discomfort he had been experiencing.. My husband was told the tooth had to be removed and he would need a implant. Without any hesitation, Mr. Ferraris represented us and we settled out of court. Thanks to our attorney Mr. Ferraris, we were able to get my husband's implant taken care and he was compensated for his pain and suffering. We highly recommend Mr. Ferris for any legal need.

Mark Flory s the Court appointed attorney for my sister and has been for several years. Over this time frame I have personally witnessed and observed his Court room ethics and decorum .At no time does he attempt to deceive or disrespect the Court or my sister.If the Conservatee's rights have been abused ,neglected , or suspticion thereof he is alert and on the ball and will stop it.There have been times that even I wanted my own way and he took the time to listen to me and pointed out that even though it may have been what I wanted but was it exactly right for her.And doing so without coping an attitude .Overall, I would recommend him not solely on my personal experience (because everybody's story is never identical to another's) but coupled with his creditinals ,which are outstanding( rated by anyone who has a brain)together he's a solid choice.

Paul recently assisted my mother-in-law with drafting a complex trust. Because she is elderly, and I work in the legal field, I helped her navigate the process and brought her to the appointments at Paul's office. We both were incredibly impressed by Paul's skills, knowledge and guidance. He is a very sharp, solution-oriented attorney, and he handled this matter very efficiently while still paying attention to important details and wording. He was patient in fielding her questions, and in explaining the pros and cons of various scenarios. In short, he helped my mother-in-law develop a clear and intelligent will package that she feels conveys all of her wishes, and prevents complications or conflicts in the future. We both give him the absolute highest recommendation!

Toby Bowler was recommended to us by many friends and acquaintances. We'd had SO many bad experiences with attorneys before, but we were put in a position to have to hire another one. What a pleasant experience! Instead of feeling that our representation was a joke, and that the money we'd spent was a complete waste, we felt he earned every dime! He acted quickly in our behalf, he was the only attorney we'd met who leveled with us. It was clear he wanted to help us, not just take our money. He also knows his way around the SB court system. In the end, he got us everything we asked for...and then some! He is an amazing, ethical attorney and we can't recommend him highly enough!

Mr. Tierney was incredibly empathetic with me & my family and yet he was so aggressive when it came to negotiating with the insurance company. I don't we could have gotten half as much if I had chosen to go with another attorney. Our family can't thank him enough for the feeling of justice he provided us.

I'm looking forward to meeting with him to discuss further my estate planning needs.

I had the pleasure of being represented by Wanda Greene, who served as my family attorney in California while I resided in Texas dealing with the difficult interstate custody situation of recovering my kidnapped daughter. Throughout the entire process, Wanda was incredibly caring and dedicated to helping me and my family. She was actively involved every step of the way and showed genuine concern for our well-being.
What truly stood out about Wanda was her exceptional level of personal attention. She consistently went above and beyond, frequently checking in with us even after the case concluded. She deeply cares about her clients and their experiences, not simply closing cases and moving on.
I highly recommend Wanda Greene as an attorney. She is an empathetic and compassionate professional, and having her represent you or your family would be a wise choice.

Ryan Fender is an unbelievably dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer in his field. I had a very sensitive and emotional situation when my father died and my brother sued me and he helped us and was sensitive to my broken heart but also kept it real and calmed me down. He knows everything you could even think of and then some. I couldn't be happier with his help and he also answered every single email or call in a very timely manner. Even when he was on vacation, he answered me in a minor emergency situation. Thank you Ryan!!! You are the BEST!!!

If I ever need a probate lawyer again there is no question of who I work with again!
