I had the pleasure of working with Rafael Mariano on a case related to my work injury, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. From the very beginning, Rafael demonstrated exceptional intelligence and expertise in workers' compensation law. He thoroughly explained the complexities of the case and assured me that it would take time to resolve.
Throughout the process, Rafael exhibited remarkable patience and dedication. He kept me informed at every step and made sure I understood all aspects of the case. His guidance and support were invaluable, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands.
Thanks to his hard work and persistence, we were able to close the case successfully. I highly recommend Rafael Mariano to anyone in need of a knowledgeable and compassionate workers' compensation attorney. He truly goes above and beyond for his clients.

I was referred to attorney Rafael Mariano due to an accident at work and the fact that my Employer was not respecting my work restrictions. I got a free consultation the next day, he took my case and immediately contacted my Employer and the Insurance company. Also, he found a specialist for me and forced the Insurance company to accept the new doctor. If you had a work accident you should contact his office immediately.

I have never had the need for any lawyer in my past until my world was flipped upside down. I met with many different law firms to find the right fit. When I met Sydnie I knew she was going to be the lawyer to best represent me. Sydnie was very clear when explaining how the process works, what I could expect and guided me through all 3 of my court cases. The entire team at Barber Law Group were extremely helpful and very supportive throughout the entire journey.

I have been through a very ugly divorce with a narcissistic abuser, and met Sydnie by chance when I was attending another hearing. She took on my case like the champ that she is. She watched every video, studied every picture, did a complete timeline, and she was 1000% ready for court, and when we went, she was so badass that I would recommend her to anyone for any case. She is nothing short of amazing! She won my case all the way around. She knows her stuff. In my David vs. Goliath situation, she was totally my David. And the best part is her friendly, caring, incredible personality. She makes you feel comfortable right away. It's not like I had to get to know her... I felt like I knew her from the moment I met her. She's the best!!

Attorney Raymond Areshenko has helped my family and myself with various matters over the years, ranging from lemon law, estates/trusts, personal injury, contracts, HOA disputes, review of documents, etc. He has always provided an honest and accurate assessment of our rights and options and we have only had positive experiences and favorable outcomes with Raymond.

I asked an unusual legal medical question that Mr. Areshenko answered very quickly and succinctly. I'm going through a difficult time in my life right now with advanced prostate cancer, and he eased my anxiety about my current situation. Now I can go ahead and get the genetic testing my doctor advised for me without causing any issues that were concerning me. Thank you so much!

Raymond represented me in retrieving my classic car from an "alleged" auto restoration shop where my car had languished for several years. Raymond carefully listened to my story, then wrote a demand letter to the shop instructing them to release my car and related parts. The letter was perfect in tone and effectiveness.

Byron was a great attorney I had called other attorneys to help me with my case no other attorney would take my case when me and my husband met Byron and hired him he reassured me 100 percent we were going to win my case and he did we didn’t even have to step foot inside the court house we did all the hearings via zoom which was even better . If you are definitely any any kind of legal trouble Byron is your guy

Byron got my first offense DUI closed and essentially all I had to do was pay a $500 fine no other punishments. And I didn’t even have to show up in person to court. The judge was super easy on me because Byron set me up to have all the requirement finished prior to the hearing.
Overall an amazing experience, Bryon was extremely helpful, friendly and always available over the phone.
Highly recommend

Byron went above and beyond my expectations. This was my very first time dealing with a criminal case and as such knew absolutely nothing. The PD’s office did the least possible to explain or help us understand the ins and outs regarding my nephews charges/case. Byron spent over an hour on a Friday night explaining things in detail and making sure I understood what he was explaining. Although Byron was unable to directly represent us in this case, he directed me to a very good known lawyer for further assistance.
This dude is legit hilarious and tells you stories to empathize as well as to help you understand what he is explaining. As we know all the legal mumbo jumbo can get confusing without the proper education.
I have no doubt Byron would have been an amazing person to represent us. Unfortunately, we reached out a bit too late.
Thanks Byron for all the info and the laughs. Definitely needed during these tough times.

I was in a very bad vehicular accident at the beginning of this year. Steven, Laura, and Greg made an extremely difficult and stressful situation so much better than it would have been if I had tried to handle it on my own. They were all up front, responsive, kind, and just overall very trustworthy which is about as much as you can hope for when seeking out an attorney. Also, the fees associated with everything were very reasonable. I would highly recommend Steven and his staff to anyone that might find themselves in a similar unfortunate situation.
Thank you again Steven, Laura, and Greg! In a world where it can be hard to find help from people you can trust, you've helped restore some of my faith in humanity.

I have nothing but praise for Steven and his staff! From day 1 When I met with his wife in his office, to the final days getting an awesome Settlement Check! My case was bazar in the least, I was run down by a woman who got impatient in a Costco parking lot. I was pushing my cart to the truck when all of a sudden I was on the ground! This woman who I never saw even after she ran me down was so impatient she just couldn't wait those extra seconds for me to be out of her way She sped up to get around me and misjudged and down I went. My daughter was in shock screaming at this woman "you ran my dad over" Soon I was ambulanced to the Hosp and x-rays were taken of my left foot. 6 broken bones 4 on top and both sides of my Ankle. The date when this happened was Dec 19th right before Christmas!! I spent the next 30 days laid up on my daughters couch and couldn't get up at all.. The blood rushing to my foot was excruciating PAIN!!! So after returning back to San Diego I kept in constant contact with Steven. We spoke on the phone a few times and he explained my options as we moved forward. For months medical bills came in and The staff was right on top of the billing to negotiate the best cost for my services rendered. You wont believe the talent of this staff as the medical bill total went from $27,000 down to $2700!! What!! I couldn't believe it! Laura Klearman, Stevens wife was the miracle worker behind this process! She handles all the fine details involved that I wouldn't of had a clue were to start! So as time went on and healing is so slow I'm 69 years old and healing takes time. To this day 8 1/2 months later, I'm still a bit sore. Next up on the arsenal of experts was Greg, the man who does your bidding with the Insurance Companies. His expertise got me a negotiated awesome settlement amount after going back and forth with an adjuster who was resisting a descent fair settlement. Actually an adjuster is just the middle man who is given an amount from his boss to negotiate from. So Greg battled on until a very fair settlement figure was reached I agreed to the amount and before you know it I had my money in the mail!! I was very pleased at the outcome of my case. Luckily I had no surgery and I had a powerful VIDEO of the whole thing from Costco cameras in the parkin lot Everyone who say it couldn't believe what they saw! I still am in shock when i watch it! So no disputing the facts. If the settlement figure was too low to my satisfaction then the next step would have been litigation. This is where Steven steps in. He's had many years of court time settling cases for the best money possible! This is why his firm is rated so high in the search engines. All in all I'm happy I chose his Firm to represent me!! I would do it again in a heartbeat!!Thanks Steven, Laura , Greg and Staff who had a hand in my case Couldnt have done this without you!!

My son was visiting in Nevada & was the passenger & was hit directly on his side, was airlifted to Renown & was there for over a week, My husband & I rushed up to Reno & stayed there till he was sent back to California. I called Steve Klearmans office as a recommendation & was so glad I did. Laura called me back & put me at ease. She's top notch. Steve & staff kept us up to date & informed & my son recovered & was very pleased with his settlement. Thank you so much.

“Lee Hotchkin, Esq., recently represented me in a complex DMV felony case related to my hotly contested divorce, regarding a title transfer issue, related to attempting to repair a vehicle that I had purchased new in 2003 with community income… that was involved in a minor accident that the other driver admitted fault, mutually trading insurance information.
Due to COVID restrictions and courthouse closings, Lee Hotchkin was able to postpone the hearing for almost 3 years (with my approval) while strategically negotiating with the DA to plea bargain a trumped up felony charge that was filed by two of my older children, who were given my 50% proxy community interest in our estate without my consent, who never invested a single dollar in our LLC’s, nor the vehicle that it was titled under, all at the prodding of my soon to be ex-wife.
The complexity of combining a ridiculous exaggerated felony charge, with a seemingly never ending divisive divorce, involving over-emotional older children, was a potential recipe for a disastrous outcome… that Lee Hotchkin ultimately worked to our benefit… by pleading only to a minor misdemeanor, thus avoiding a felony trumped up charge and a time consuming trial…!
Although, my attorney Lee Hotchkin and myself BOTH believed that we would have prevailed at trial had we decided NOT to settle… I realized that this legal episode was not worth the resources, emotional toll, nor the expense, to prove our point and innocence while possibly bearing the potential legal liability and outcome of having to go through a jury trial… and by taking Lee Hotchkin’s professional expert advice, we were able to obtain the best possible resolution… for the least expense… whereby by pleading “No Contest”, I also avoid being sued in the future… and in one year, Lee Hotchkin will “SEAL” my criminal record… as if this nightmare never happened…!
Thank You Lee…!” EDL.

Lee the words of gratitude and appreciation. I can't forget the day I met you and your daughter. You assured me everything would be ok. I would of never saw this coming for trying to be good to someone going through a tough time in life. I explained how much my son and daughters meant to me and you said Chris breathe you will be with them I assure you next time watch for the red flags. I still have love for the blue line Reno Police. If your looking for an experienced and educated lawyer Lee and his daughter Christine are just that. I never even had to step in the court room. Lee is Fierce in Washoe Country but respected by the Judges and the ADA’s.
Thank you again, Lee

I called Joey Gilbert Law from out of state. They advised me that Nevada considers at fault to be criminal misdemeanor. The office was open 24/7, Bianca took my information. She got back to me with quote from Joey. They took my case. They were always available. Answered all my questions. The customer service was excellent. My case was dismissed. I’ve had several lawyers, many of them ineffective and difficult. Joey and his team was one of the best. I highly recommend him. I will use him if need be in the future.

We recently updated our estate documents with Laury Macauley, Esq. We have had trusts for over four decades and have worked with a number of attorneys over the years. After moving to Reno Nevada, a community property state, we needed an update. We contacted a number of estate attorneys. Almost all had 60+ page boiler plate trust templates into which they inserted relevant individualized information but most of these bloated documents had information that does not and never will be relevant to us. Such large trusts are cumbersome and inefficient since during settlement, parties must read everything to be sure something important is not missed. We wanted a more personalized straightforward trust which eliminated all the bloat, unnecessary legal jargon, generation skipping wording, minor dependents, dependent trusts, etc. etc.
Laury agreed to work with us to accomplish what we wanted…estate documents relevant to our situation written in a straightforward manner. In the end our very comprehensive trust is 22 pages long. We found her to be bright, helpful, knowledgeable and ethical. She was among a very few lawyers willing to help us create what WE wanted rather than something off the shelf. This took extra time so the process did extend over 2 months but we are extremely pleased. We would definitely recommend Ms. Macauley without reservation to others.

Not long after meeting Tyson and getting to know him better over the coming months, it became very apparent that he was the man for the job.
We set up an appointment with him to go over our options and to set up a plan of action that worked best for our family. He was extremely thorough and made sure we understood everything throughout the entire process.
Tyson is eager to help, highly professional, and an all around great guy. I highly recommend him. Thanks Tyson!

Greta helped my family to get the Green Card through the employment-based visa (EB-3). We came to the U.S with a teacher visiting program and all the attorneys we talked before told us it would be impossible for us to stay in the U.S permanently. When we met Greta she said all those lawyers had no idea and that she would help us. It was a long process, more than she or us expected, but she made it possible! And now we have our Green Card at home. She got the Green cards for 3 more families from the same program. She knows what she does and I am truly grateful for her dedication and positivity to my case. Thank you Greta!

Within a week the insurance company paid out my claim in full. This was after only one conversation with Pat and he did not charge me! I was so impressed and forever grateful for his help, expertise, and kindness. Please call Pat to get your insurance needs taken care of instead of fumbling through it on your own. The insurance company was clearly taking advantage of my ignorance on insurance!

Travis Clark was phenomenal in putting together my divorce package after I was served. He listened to what I would like to see happen. We developed a game plan that he perfectly executed. Worked with the opposing attorney to resolve conflicts and provide clarification on matters of concern. Travis's advise was invaluable. In the hour before seeing the judge a big last minute detail had to be worked out. It was expertly handled to my benefit. In the court proceedings Travis worked with the court to ensure I received terms beneficial to myself and my future. Very, very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce proceedings, far better than anything I had expected. Well done Travis, I am in your debt. Thank you.

Kim Surratt is not only a great lawyer, she's a good person. She walked me through the hell that was my divorce, counseled me through the difficult decisions about the children, custody, child support, etc. and helped keep from going crazy when everything in my life was upside down. Divorces suck. There's no way around that. Having someone on my side that was empathetic to what I was going through, but was able to maintain a business mind about the whole thing was crucial to me making good decisions and not fighting just to fight because I was pissed. I've been back several times because of custody issues, and she's helped me navigate the ridiculousness of a crazy ex who happens to be the mother of my kids. I honestly don't think anyone could have done a better job.

Kim Surratt is a very special person to me. From the moment Kim took on my son's case, she worked so hard to achieve the right outcome. I believe that Kim saved my son's life, and strengthened our entire family. Our custody case was very difficult and lasted eight years.

I will always be grateful that I had Kim as my attorney.

Lyn was very nice and very professional. She had my motion filed very quickly and about a month after our initial meeting she had already recieved the court order terminating my probation and dismissing my charges. Her price was very reasonable. She was very responsive and kept me up to date on every aspect of my case. If ever in the future I am in need of an attorney, Lyn would be the first one I would call.

Nobody likes lawyers, until you need a lawyer. Knowing that I had Garrett on my side has made owning a business a much more pleasant experience. He knows corporate law and he makes sure I'm doing what I need to be doing to run an ethical, legal business. He is also not afraid to tell me when I'm making a bad decision or something that might hurt me down the line.
I would absolutely recommend Garrett and his team. And I do - on a regular basis.

Garrett Sutton is the reason I can't make lawyer jokes anymore. He is trustworthy, smart, and ethical. Not much room for jokes there. He has helped me incorporate two businesses, written articles for magazines I've edited, and helped me form my publishing company, Lucky Bat Books. He has been there with patient answers for my most ridiculous questions and has always made me feel as if this business stuff is something I can handle. He not only formed my corporation, he guided me through writing contracts and establishing billing regimen, and even recommended someone to do my taxes. I would trust him with any legal matter.
Garrett's kindness is well known in my community and is a major reason I originally sought him out. I interviewed him for a story on autism because of his charity work with Sierra Kids Foundation, which provides money for treatment of autism for families who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it. I'm glad I did. As a writer and publisher himself, he has given me so much useful advice he ought to write a book. In fact, he has. Several. I've read them all.
You simply can't do better than Garrett Sutton. And that's no joke.

Rich was great. he communicated with me the entire time. He worked with me for over two years and was very patient whenever I had questions or didn't understand something. He always was honest about how he felt about my case and what the difficulties would be so that I was never caught off guard in the process.That type of honesty was greatly appreciated. I feel he went above and beyond to make it as pain free and stress free as possible.

As a person who did not have any knowledge on hiring attorneys..(who really does.) I consulted with a few. I ended up going back to Rich as he took time to talk and review my case with me. Always returned my calls/emails. Addressed my concerns and always dealt with the details. I ended up hiring him again when I got injured.. He kept me up to date and in the loop without pressures so I could heal. He is an excellent attorney who will go above for his clients.

Rich has handled 2 separate personal injury cases for me. He was excellent at handling all the legal stuff while I focused on healing. I wouldn't even think of hiring anyone else. He helped me find good doctors to make sure I got the best care for a speedy recovery. He took care of everything with the insurance companies. He was excellent at responding to me whenever I had a question.

Adriana and her team are exceptionally professional , attentive and detailed. I interviewed numerous law firms prior to hiring her. My case was very complicating requiring her team to stay diligent from start to finish. My insurance provider did not make the process easy demanding numerous medical records which they provided. I am honestly pleased with the outcome and the settlement she and her team were able to secure.

Adriana was fantastic. I fired my previous lawyer who did nothing on my auto accident claim and never updated me. Adriana kept me informed every week on the status of my claim and fought hard to get my previous attorney to lower his fees (he tried to get a big fee for doing nothing. She even remained calm when he cussed her out). She got my auto insurance to pay me more money for my totaled car beyond what they originally paid me. She was pleasant and easy to talk to and a darn hard worker. Highly recommend her to anyone. If I ever need a lawyer again I will hire Adriana. Thanks Adriana for doing a great job on my claim.
