Linh Taylor and I worked with Craig to review and update a small business real estate lease. The lease was initially missing sections and had ambiguities. Craig worked with us patiently and thoroughly to address all our concerns to make sure that we had a lease without any ambiguities and that protected us as tenants. Caitlin Abbot effectively facilitated communication and helped to make sure that we received our lease on the date needed. We successfully signed our lease with confidence in knowing Craig reviewed and rewrote the portions that needed updating.
We look forward to working with Craig and Caitlyn the next time we have any business consulting lawyer needs.

Exceptional Legal Expertise and Unwavering Dedication
I had the privilege of working with Silveira Law on a complex legal matter, and I cannot express enough gratitude for their exceptional service and dedication. From our initial consultation to the resolution of my case, Micheal demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, expertise, and care.
Mike was incredibly thorough in analyzing my case, identifying potential challenges, and developing a tailored strategy to achieve the best possible outcome. Their ability to break down complex legal concepts into simple, understandable terms made me feel confident and informed throughout the process.
I was always kept up to date on the progress of my case, and promptly responded to my emails and phone calls. They never left me in the dark, ensuring that I felt supported every step of the way. It was clear that my case was genuinely cared about, and my concerns were met with the time to address them with patience and empathy.
If your case involves litigation, you want Silveira Law on your side. Their ability to present arguments persuasively and their composure under pressure were truly remarkable. Their preparation, confidence, and command of the facts gave me an undeniable advantage.
What sets Silveira Law apart is their genuine passion for helping their clients. They went above and beyond to ensure I felt empowered and informed, even providing resources and advice to help me navigate the aftermath of my case. Their dedication to achieving the best outcome was evident in every aspect of their work.
Thanks to Micheal’s hard work, my case resulted in a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations. They were honest about potential risks from the start but never wavered in their commitment to advocating for me.
I wholeheartedly recommend Silveira Law to anyone seeking legal representation. Their expertise, professionalism, and genuine care for their clients make them a standout in their field. If you’re looking for a lawyer who will fight tirelessly on your behalf while keeping your best interests at heart, look no further than Silveira Law.

Jeffrey was prompt with follow up when I initially reached out for a consult. He helped me better gauge the situation I was in and wasn't trying to get me to pay for a consult if I didn't need it. Ultimately I didn't need to pay for the consult, but I still appreciate him listening and helping me confirm my judgement on the situation as well!

Jeff is an incredible attorney and extremely knowledgable about labor laws. I contacted him after being laid off since my situation with my previous employer seemed like it could potentially be a bit out of the ordinary so I wanted to know more about my rights.
My previous employer had made some requests that I found out via Jeff to be legally difficult to enforce. He was able to quickly cite specific laws that prohibit my employer from making such requests.
He did a great job of setting my expectations for what was possible and letting me know what may or may not happen.
I appreciated that he got on a call to answer my questions promptly even while out of town and his advice was much appreciated.

I had a very time sensitive severance situation and requested guidance from the firm. Laura got back to me promptly, and provided me with ample context and situational suggestions to help me navigate my employment situation.
She was incredibly kind, and offered her time and resources to me during a stressful time.

I had the pleasure of working with Bradley Bayan on a family law matter, and I was consistently impressed with his professionalism and legal expertise. Throughout the process, Mr. Bayan was highly responsive to my inquiries and demonstrated a thorough understanding of the nuances of my case. His ability to navigate complex legal issues and effectively communicate with opposing counsel, even in challenging situations, was truly remarkable.
I am particularly grateful for Mr. Bayan's willingness to take on my case after my previous legal representation had stalled progress. He demonstrated an unwavering commitment to my best interests, promptly addressing each matter with efficiency and effectiveness. Based on my experience, I firmly believe that individuals facing family law issues would greatly benefit from working with a dedicated practitioner like Mr. Bayan, rather than a larger firm that might not prioritize individual client needs.
While legal services can be costly, I found Mr. Bayan's billing practices to be transparent and fair, aligning with the high quality of his legal representation. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Bayan to anyone seeking knowledgeable and compassionate legal counsel in family law matters.

Client reviews was how I found and decided to retain Bradley Bayan, so it seems only fitting that I contribute one to help others who are also struggling to find an amazing family law attorney. I approached Bradley with a case that has a long and complicated history and messy through no fault of my own, and in distress due to my ex's continued malicious antics. He was able to quickly decipher the facts of my case and start fighting hard for me. He is available and supportive, flexible and kind; highly skilled and experienced to say the least. It was easy to tell that he is gifted in dealing with narcissists and their enabling attorneys and quickly shut down nonsense and helped the court focus on the core issues based upon facts and history, complete with results on obtaining a ruling accordingly. His hard work enabled me to breathe easier following years of needless conflict and stress, and I truly could not recommend any other attorney more confidently. You have to be very talented and experienced to serve clients within the family court system; Bradley has all of that and more. My only mistake was not retaining Bradley sooner, as it could have saved me and my family from years of hardship and unnecessary litigation. Thank you, Bradley! You are amazing.

I cannot recommend Robert Cummings, at RGC Legal, highly enough. As a trial attorney, they are truly exceptional. His command of the courtroom is unparalleled, and it is clear that Robert knows the ins and outs of the legal system like the back of his hand. Whether addressing the judge or making a compelling argument to the jury, Robert speaks with clarity, confidence, and authority. Throughout the trial, it was evident that Robert was always two steps ahead, anticipating every move and expertly navigating the complexities of the case. Robert’s deep understanding of legal procedures and the intricacies of the courthouse environment gave me confidence that my case was in the best possible hands.

My husband and I contacted Matthew Grech for help to create a revocable trust, wills, and other estate planning documents. In our initial discussions, he listened to what we had to say, explained clearly what legal approaches we could consider, and made sure that all our questions were fully answered.
He delivered the legal documents we needed in a reasonable time, considering the large number that he created. He also provided us with clear and explicit instructions of what to do with each document. In all communications, he and his staff were always considerate and helpful.
Anyone who needs legal guidance in their estate planning would do well to obtain Mathhew Grech's services.

I reached out to Mr. Zoucha because I was in need of legal advice regarding a potential custody and visitation dispute. Mr. Zoucha was very quick to respond and schedule an initial consultation during which he was very thorough in getting the background facts, patiently talked through the issues and answered many questions. He helped me identify that I also needed legal help in a different practice area and helped connect me with an attorney regarding an unlawful detainer case. After the completion of that matter, I had several follow up communications with Mr. Zoucha about the custody and visitation dispute and he did not charge me for that work. I appreciated his quick responses, his integrity and honesty, and the empathy with which he treats his clients.

Beyond his legal expertise, his ability to listen with compassion and truly understand my concerns made all the difference. He consistently made me feel heard, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions.
If you’re looking for a family lawyer who not only knows what he’s doing but also genuinely cares about his clients and their outcomes, Joseph Zoucha is the one to call. He’s an absolute gem and a true professional!

I was a client of Mr. Dunn's and charged with a DUI. It was a very difficult time in my life and I was hoping that I would be able to find an attorney who would fight hard on my behalf. Instead of spending a single day in jail, I was able to get probation and community service. After a year of probation everything was settled and I was able to move on with my life. I recommend Mr. Dunn with full integrity and faith. If you are in trouble with the law, give him a call. His experience will guide you when you need it the most. Goodluck!

I hired Ryan after initially engaging another lawyer that, as I progressed, I felt was not the advocate or legal counsel that would represent me like I needed to be in a messy and complex bankruptcy case. It involved issues with the IRS and FTB for back taxes along with "Substitute for Returns" for several years. Through it all Ryan was professional, timely and provide strong legal counsel with the tax issues. He clearly demonstrated to me he was going to be the advocate who would get me the best result in resolving the matters with the Bankruptcy Court, the assigned Trustee, along with dealing with the various other creditors involved in addition to the IRS and FTB. He walked me through the process and had me ready for the meeting of the creditors and advised as to how to present my case to the trustee and the valuations of property that were provided to the Court. In the end he demonstrated to me that he was engaged in the case and went all in on providing me the best legal advice for the situation I was in and needed to extricate myself from to move on with my life. It was not all about incurring legal fees but rather providing sound legal counsel to resolve the issues and being a true professional in all respects of the bankruptcy . Ryan has a good "bedside" manner that clients will need and in the end he has earned their trust and apprecation as well.

I just finished my case with Ryan Wood. I have never filed bankruptcy before and had $160,000 in debt. I make well over six figures and things were so bad I was borrowing gas money from my brother on occasion. Sad, I know. I was totally stressed out. Depressed. I was trying to research online and figure it out bankruptcy on my own. I knew because of my income I had to pass this thing called a "means test." It seemed I would never be able to qualify. I was very discouraged, but my brother who has filed bankruptcy in the past kept encouraging me to file. I called around, talked with three bankruptcy attorneys and ended up meeting two in person. One was Ryan Wood, who I ultimately went with. Sheesh, I don't even know where to start because I JUST found out my case was closed a few days ago, and I still can't believe it! I have such a weight off of me. Ryan was amazing. He is so friendly and encouraging. I have worked with lawyers before, and Ryan is NOT like other lawyers. He is nice. He is real. He is down-to-earth and... a little quirky, haha, but that adds to his personality. As a lawyer, of course he is busy, but he was reasonably responsive to my communications. He even called me once while he was sick as a dog to check in with me. He sounded like hell. At one point the court asked for further documentation. Of course, I panicked, thinking "well this is it, They are going to reject my chap 7 request." Ryan help me stay calm though. We got the documents together for the court. Ryan reassured me sometimes the court asks for clarifying documentation. He walked me through what the plan would be if my case was rejected. Well, it never happened. Ryan did a great job, and I have my life back. The collectors have stopped calling. My credit score is already up in the 600's since I don't have any more late payments. It started climbing soon after I filed. I did not expect that. And, now, I have money in my pocket again! Thank you Ryan!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Outstanding law firm
We had a great experience with the Moran Law Group. They are experts in their field and provided us with great education, support, and all the tools required to settle our case. They told us what we needed to do and when we needed to do it. They literally took care of everything from top to bottom in the 5 years we had to go through this. We had a lot of questions throughout the process and they always answered us in a timely manner. It's very challenging to have to go through something like a bankruptcy. We couldn't have imagined using any other firm. We were very grateful for their support and experience. We really felt like we had a team behind us. We are very grateful that we had them to represent us!!

Once I got past the consulting fee and met with Cathy Moran, I felt confident - and honestly hopeful - that she would take care of my case, having a favorable result. She set expectations about my case at our first meeting, in the end she and her team over delivered. I am very pleased with the result and my Chapter 13 payment schedule.
Cathy is a straight-shooter - she can be personable - and if she senses time is being wasted, you will know it. If you retain her services, she and her team will let you know what documents and information is needed from you. Don't miss these deadlines. Most of the time that I spent was near the beginning, where the initial work consumed a few hours of time. Make it a top priority and don't procrastinate. After all, it is your financial future.
As for communication, Cathy's office is good in keeping you in the loop on the next milestone in your timeline. If you have questions, be concise, specific and send via email; you will receive a quality response that is also concise.
Cathy's team of another lawyer and paralegals have talents in different areas, each taking care of a different aspect in my case. I am very grateful to all of them, they allowed me to live within my income and have a life with my family. After receiving the judge's confirmation of my plan, I feel like I have been given another chance, and I know where I'm at financially.
I later found out that Cathy is well known and respected among other bankruptcy attorneys in the Bay Area. She is also known to have set precedence in court, fighting for the rights of bankruptcy filers like me. She is very experienced in bankruptcy law. Although I was not surprised to learn these details after knowing Cathy, I was reminded that I was very fortunate to have crossed paths with her and to have retained her services.
Blessings.

It is difficult to face that you need to go into bankruptcy. I retained Attorney Cathy Moran. She was very professional and non-judgemental about my situation -- I was already beating up myself. She is very professional and I felt very confident in her knowledge of bankruptcy law and submission requirements. She was very responsive anytime I had a question. I really appreciated that she would respond quickly to my questions. In addition, her office staff was equally responsive regarding general questions or responding to my occasional requests for copies of documents. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a bankruptcy attorney.

I was facing a harassment case. The complainant and her best friends, acting as her witnesses, had made up a scary story to destroy my life and reputation. When I first read the allegation, it was so well drafted by the complainant and her fake witnesses that I, myself, believed I might have done something wrong. I was confused and had a lot of panic attacks. The next day, I visited my family doctor and I was referred to a psychiatrist. Being experienced by similar cases, the psychiatrist advised me to get a lawyer as soon as possible. I searched the internet and was lucky enough to find Mr. Dean Johnson. He was prompt in answering my call, asking me a few to-the-point questions and giving me an appointment to meet with him in his office. He asked me to prepare documents for him regarding what had actually happened and all correspondences from the investigators and the complainant. When I met Dean in his office, I realized that Dean has already read all information carefully and knew my case as I knew it. Every time that Dean and I met with the investigators upon their requests, Dean showed them that he knows more about the case and regulations than they know and that they are wrong on many facts. As complainant and investigators tried to bring more made-up data to my case, Dean proved them being wrong again. I didn't have to remind Dean of any meeting schedule or review with him the case. He knew all the case details better than I knew them and he was always present at meetings even before I enter the meetings. Dean was a great lawyer and a caring friend by my side. The case was dropped against me after one year of exhaustive investigation. Hail to Dean for being there for me and making sure the justice is properly served.

I went to Dean's office for a consultation. He is the best lawyer period. Not only did he provide me free consultation, he was very patient in listening and provided the right feedback. If you are looking for a lawyer who can totally understand and support you through your ordeal, it will be John. Better call Dean :)

Dean represented me in a civil harassment case with my lunatic neighbor. When I was served with a temporary restraining order, I knew I needed legal representation. I heard about Dean through a friend. I immediately called him and had an appointment within days. I knew from our first meeting, I wanted to hire him. He’s sharp! A great listener, professional, and organized.
On our court date, Dean proved to be everything we needed to win! Our opponent was an aggressive bully and in court his behavior was no different. Dean had no problem putting him in his place. Our hearing was exciting and shocking. After our opponent saw Dean's hearing brief, the bully stormed out of the court room and fled the building. It was a classic hilarious moment! Our troubles were over. The temporary restraining order against me was dismissed. In addition, the judge ruled in our favor by ordering a 3 year restraining order against our neighbor. The bonus to it all…our neighbor was ordered to pay a portion of our legal fees. We couldn’t have been happier with the outcome! Dean totally exceeded our expectations. Thanks to him, we had a few great chuckles and can sleep a little better a night.

Rebecca gave my husband and I a thorough understanding of all of our options when it came to putting together a will and/or trust. She was so easy to understand and made us feel comfortable with any questions we had. We especially loved the family emergency card she gave us to put in our wallets. This makes us feel even more secure that if anything should happen to us, people will know we have children and who to get in touch with concerning their care as fast as possible. We have recommended Rebecca to friends, and would definitely do it again if we knew someone looking for help with estate planning documents!
