being an employer for close to 27 years, I’ve dealt with a number of labor attorneys. Having Ms. Vasquez representing my business for the past 2 years has been the best decision I’ve made. She’s diligent, knowledgeable and most importantly, practical. I would certainly recommend her to any employer.

I hired Laura after interviewing a few lawyers and I have not regretted my decision to hire her. Laura helped me with a difficult custody case and was very knowledgeable not only in family law but understood the financial issues very well and she also advised me about custody violations. I will not hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone in a divorce. She was focused in the trials and didn't waste time on the irrelevant information, that my wife's attorney raised again and again.
All along, Laura helped me focus on the main and relevant issues in the case. She was empathetic and understood well the financial issues and co-parenting issues I faced. She thought through every question that I raised and answered in clear English. I trusted her to guide me through the most difficult and challenging time in my life. Laura knows what she is doing and I am happy with the settlement she negotiated for me.

Laura has helped me with several matters, covering a wide range of legal issues, over the past decade. She is very knowledgeable, skilled, and most importantly she is very responsive - she always returns my calls and emails promptly. She handles matters professionally and has excellent morals but is a "fighter" when she needs to be, and always has good advice on the right strategy to take.
My job has had me work with several attorneys over the years, and that experience has shown me how exceptional Laura is compared to the rest. I can't recommend her highly enough.

My husband and I were involved in a serious car accident. At first, we tried to get some money from the other guy's insurance to pay for our car, but they denied our claim saying that we were equally responsible. Steve was then referred to us by a family friend. We met him at his office and knew right away that this was our guy. Since we didn't have medical insurance, Steve gave us a list of doctors to choose from that would agree to treat us until we were able to get some money to pay them back. In the end he got us way more than what we were hoping to get. It was truly the best decision we could have made. Steve kept us informed every step of the way. He would frequently call just to see how our recovery was coming. We really felt that he was looking out for our best interest the whole time. Great attorney.

We hired Mr, Leydiker to represent us when we had flooding in our condo due to neglect from a construction company and our HOA. Mr. Leydiker handled our case in a timely, professional, and direct manner. He took control and remediated the situation. His knowledge and expertise allowed us to get a larger settlement then we orginally thought possiable. Mr. Leydiker personality and honesty made us feel comfortable and gave us peace of mind though out this difficult process. I would recommend Mr Leydiker to anyone seeking a lawyer.

Caine is unequivocally the best startup corporate attorney that I have worked with. The comprehensiveness of his knowledge of corporate securities law--particularly as it relates to technology company financings and transactions--is remarkable, as is his cool demeanor and ability to deliver timely and strategic advice to technology company founders and executive teams at exactly the right time. I would love to work with him on my next important project. Oh wait, I already am! ;-))

I worked with Helen Baumann for over 4 years, and in that time found her to be one of the most knowledgeable attorneys in Estate Planning. She always went the extra mile for me and her other clients, sometimes even doing extras without charge. Helen is a member of the San Mateo County Lawyers Referral Service and helps clients who might not be able to afford an attorney otherwise. She is a very generous and caring person, as I'm sure all her other clients would say as well. Most of her clients are referrals, so she comes highly recommended.
She has an excellent staff now, who work as hard, if not harder, to make sure every one of her clients is well cared for. She and her staff helped me understand how to plan for my needs, and was extremely patient as we worked through this process.
Helen is an excellent choice to handle all your estate planning needs. You will not be disappointed.

I spoke with Inna for a consultation for our startup tech company and she was patient, informative, helpful and very generous with her knowledge.
We used a big firm in the past and had trouble connecting with them on the specific issues we faced as a small tech company. I really appreciated being able to speak with someone who really "got it". Inna understands the entrepreneur perspective and can provide excellent counsel on traversing the long winding road from incorporation all the way to liquidation. I recommend giving her a call if you are looking for a more personal and startup focused attorney to represent your interests.

I cannot speak highly enough of Michael Mengarelli. If you are looking for an attorney for business disputes and general civil litigation that will not give you the run around that is common in the industry, Mike is the one! He will work with you to make sure you are happy with each step in the process. He is a pleasure to work with. He took my case and charged me a reasonable fee for his services.
Other attorneys wanted a very large retainer when they looked at my case. I discovered him through my sister's friend who knew I was in need of a lawyer after I wasted a lot of money on attorneys that I hired previously and who failed to handle my case.From the moment I contacted Mike I had a great experience, He got back to me right away and after talking to him I immediately knew he was the one I wanted to represent me in this case. He established a connection with me that made me feel comfortable working with him Our opposing counsels were super aggressive and belligerent.
Case was extremely complicated, involved multiple issues ( loan, real estate partition, HOA breach of contract, former divorce, conflict of interest in family). There were involved multiple discoveries, motions, hearings, depositions. Mike was super inventive, attentive, detail oriented, and best of all, extremely patient. I and my family were not the easiest clients. Mike listened to my complicated case and helped me come up with inventive ways to come to a resolution. He handled a case for me long-distance. There was NO problem with the fact that I am in LA and he's in Bay Area.Throughout my case, Mike was excellent with communicating with me and keeping me updated with how things were going.
I loved the fact that he was always available and was very quick to respond to any questions that I had via email or by phone.. He has maintained a very human attitude and approach to handling my case and I have never felt like I was just a paycheck to him. Most importantly as a lawyer he does not waste time and is straight forwarded with his advise and opinions.Mike is simply the hardest working attorney I have ever met. I always appreciate those rare individuals who can balance the need to be a professional with the desire to be a friend human being.
He was extremely down to earth and a pleasure to be around. He is quick, efficient, and very knowledgeable about the law. I would trust him fighting for me in any and all lawsuits imaginable. Working with Mike and his level of expertise helped me to breathe, have peace of mind and feel confident. You should have seen him in that court. I was so nervous when I arrived for my first day of trial but was able to calm down somewhat after watching him for his opening statement and later for direct and cross examinations. During the whole two weeks jury trial Mike was calm and assertive and took the lead. I appreciated his confidence level in the heat of the moment. When my trial ended, it was apparent to me that Mike had nailed the case! The judge seemed to appreciate his professionalism as well. I am still working with him on our post trial issues .
I highly suggest him for most of the legal issues whether they are business or personal. I will continue to use him in the future and feel like not only is my legal advocate, but a friend whom I can trust with what is best for my legal objectives and intentions. Thanks goodness there are lawyers out there like Mike Mengarelli

Michael Mengarelli is the best attorney I have worked with in civil litigation. He is knowledgeable,responsive and moral. In my experience, these are rare and difficult to find qualities in an attorney.
I have had to deal with lawyers several times over the course of my life.The right lawyer makes all the difference in any lawsuit or legal negotiation. He was extremely professional and practical in his approach He.is ethical, likeable, highly intelligent, extremely knowledgeable and not arrogant or stuffy like a few of the lawyers I have dealt with in the past.He was also very generous with his time and advice. He made us fully aware of all of our options, and steered us towards what he knew would be in our best interest. I could tell that he actually cared about our situation, and viewed us as a human being and not a big dollar sign . He gave me a rapid, detailed answer to my question, he responded right away any time and I'm definitely grateful for that! My case was extremely complicated. Michael represented all my family in this case.He took over it after we changed two attorneys whom we were terribly disappointed , desperate, hopeless and even more depressed in our situation. And one of my acquaintance who also used to be Michael's client, strongly recommended him and we took a risk hiring Mike Mengarelli.
Mike was working day and nights, all weekends and holidays for preparation for our trial.
My brother lives in LA and Mike flew to LA to be with him for deposition. He went through total of 8 depositions with us and our witnesses, 2 weeks jury trial. Despite the fact that it was difficult time for all our family, we felt truly protected and secured having Mike on our side.
He was exactly what we needed, and the outcome was the best we could have hoped for.
Hopefully, I will not need a lawyer anytime in the near future, but if I do, I know that I can count on him and he will be my first and only choice.
Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After being referred to Mr. Riechert by my divorce lawyer, he was hired to defend a elder abuse case filed against me and my children. Mr. Riechert worked out the a settlement in the elder abuse case because of his skill of working with others. He got to the core of the case, which there was no basis for, and negotiated with the plaintiff and her attorneys and settled it.. During this litigation, we asked Mr. Riechert to get involved in the divorce by supporting my divorce attorney in real estate matters and other issues including breach of fiduciary duties of the other lawyers involved in the case. I requested Mr. Riechert to always appear in court with me for the 17 days of the divorce trial because his input in that litigation was valued by both the very skilled divorce attorney. I found myself in a position that without the diligent, resourceful and thoughtful help of Peter my world would have been devastated. Both Mr. Riechert and my divorce attorney worked together in a professional way and were emotional supportive in a very difficult time. Despite the fact my divorce took over 5 years, Peters helped made a very terrible situation pliable. Mr. Riechert went far beyond what he was paid for to make me comfortable and understand the legal process. I have and would recommend Mr. Riechert because of his superior skills.

I think Mr. Grimes is wonderful attorney and I highly recommend him. My case went very quickly. The employer illegally fired me, so Mr. Grimes filed an extra claim for that. It was very hard fought with an aggressive defense attorney and many depositions. In the end, I got extra money because of the claim and Mr. Grime's work. I found him businesslike and easy to work with. He was pleasant with me but I saw him get aggressive when the defense attorney was aggressive with him.

I am happy to recommend the professional services of Wesley T. Umeda, Esq. I first engaged Wes’s services in March of 2012. I found Wes to be thorough, extremely knowledgeable about State and Federal tax laws, and diligent in his efforts to effectively represent me.
Wes represented me during an IRS audit which ultimately went before the United States Tax Court. Due to Wes’s professional expertise and knowledge of the law, my case settled in my favor in May of 2013. Throughout the entire process, Wes never failed to keep me updated on the audit process and court process, nor did he ever tire of my questions and listening to my concerns.
I would without hesitation recommend Wes as tax counsel.

I can without question recommend Mr. Warhurst to anyone seeking the best in legal representation. He is not only an expert in the law, but he is an honest and compassionate advocate. I am so grateful he was introduced to me! I had stopped being represented by my first lawyer because of an alarming lack of follow through. Bill was able to study the case in a short time and proceed in my best interests and reach a quick resolution. He was so dependable and proactive. I knew when I first met him that I could finally relax and allow him to guide me in going forward with my divorce. I never felt overcharged or under served in my association with Bill. He goes the distance with his clients and is concerned about them as people. I would give him more stars than 5 if possible.

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'm appreciative that she took time out of her day to provide consult and knowledge, without charging me for the advice and initial consultation. I highly recommend reaching out to them for their services and they will be my first call if I need employment attorneys in the future.
