Mr. Adair was able to work out an favorable plea deal for me. The prison term was shortened by 3 years. He assisted in my defense in a very professional and knowledgeable manner. For every court appearance he informed me of the proceedings making me feel comfortable and less stressed. MOST importantly he defended me vigorously allowing me to accept a shorter prison term than the DA wanted. I would recommend Mr. Adair and have recommended him with a doubt.

My wife left me unilaterally and unexpectedly, and took our 2 year old son with her. She also retained an attorney in San Diego, who supposedly has raving reviews, and filed a Domestic Violence Restraining Order against me. I had to act quickly and entered my name into a link on the internet while looking for attorney's to defend myself, and voila, I received a call from Ross Veta. I was skeptical at first, but after an initial consultation, it was clear he was the right person for the task at hand due to his ‘calming effect’ on the situation I was facing. Ross and I worked together like a team, which is what people really need to do if they intend on prevailing in their case. My estranged wife’s declaration was not only full of lies, distortions, and half-truths, but errors, including the wrong date we were married, with many other absurd allegations. I don’t know if these errors were hers, from her attorney, or his staff, but her declaration was poorly written, and her attorney should have ensured that these absurd allegations were not part of her declaration; they clearly made her out to be foolish and petty. Ross took full advantage of the opposing party’s errors, omissions, and lies, yet focused on those things that truly mattered to the judge in our case, someone he is familiar with here in North County. Divorce is a very emotional experience, and it has been for me since my estranged wife tried to drag me through the mud. Yet Ross Veta saw right through all the smoke and mirrors, and came up with a game plan to deal with each allegation. Needless to say, I wasn’t as impressed my estranged wife’s attorney nearly as much as I was with Ross Veta. Ross has a demeanor that can’t be matched; he’s focused, but is also a very likable person, something that’s rare in the legal profession. The outcome? I won the case and the Domestic Violence case was dropped, even before Ross had the opportunity to cross-examine my estranged wife. And I even have joint custody, and almost 50% visitation of my 2 year old son. Thanks for everything Ross.

I am a Fine Artist and Ross Veta has represented me a number of times. One case involved a major contract dispute, which eventually went before a Mediator, and another involved copyright issues. In both instances, Mr. Veta performed spectacularly. He was the utmost professional, performed with high character, and looked out for my interests in the best ways possible. His knowledge and application of the law was deep, diverse and very helpful to my business. I would definately recommend Mr. Veta and appreciate his help.

I first got in contact with Ross for a landlord/tenant issue (which he continues to handle for us), but have since had him help with several other things that have come up, including the writing of a couple contracts. I couldn't be happier with the quality of his work, or his level of communication. Finally, I have some peace of mind, knowing that if any legal issues arise, we have an intelligent, talented, and committed advocate ready to take it on. Thank you Ross!

Ethical, professional, efficient, thorough, and knowledgeable. That is what my experience with Mr. Antonio Maldonado and Maldonado Meyers LLP has always been when seeking legal counsel. The expertise that they offer regarding Mexican law in conjunction with honest, rapid, and thorough communication on my matter has made me, the client, very satisfied. He and his colleagues have always made themselves available to me when I have questions or seek clarification regarding my matter. As a whole, the entire law group is top notch in terms of customer service, communication and efficiency. I highly recommend Antonio Maldonado and Maldonado Meyers LLP to anybody seeking legal counsel with matters regarding Mexican law and/or cross-border legal matters.

I recently closed a complicated and rushed real estate transaction in Mexico and retained Antonio Maldonado. I also have used Antonio in the past. I cannot say enough positive things about this guy. He is extremely bright, professional, reliable, prompt, and has loads of integrity. I would not hesitate for a moment to use him again and while I do not do this often I strongly encourage others to use him. Antonio was available to me 24/7 as were other in his firm, he was patient and a clear and concise communicator. He also listened very well and always repeated back to me what he felt I was saying. Lastly, there were times that he needed to be "tough" in my transaction both with me and others and he did not hesitate to do so which I respect. Again, if you have any legal matters that you need assistance with in Mexico you should consider Antonio.

She is articulate, her knowledge of the law, case laws, appellate laws is through and her writing, communications and petition are to the letter of the law. Rosemary is about doing what is right and what is correct and she won't stand for nonsense. She is always available and will educate her client as to the process, the laws, and gives you the opportunity to make a good decision. She is patient and will help guide you through sometimes very difficult times. We plan to keep Mrs. Leonard on retainer for a long time. No more worries and no more headaches. With sincere gratitude we thank her for all her wisdom and the freedom to know we are in the best of hands. Thank you Mrs. Leonard.

I remain grateful for my dentist’s enthusiastic recommendation to attorney Gary Powell for estate planning, an important item that had remained on my to-do-list for years. I was confident Gary would be competent and professional. Still, I’m delighted he absolutely exceeded my expectations! From my first of many phone calls to many e-mail exchanges to the final signing of my estate plan, Gary provided informative and sound guidance. Equally important, he was always extremely patient with my multitude of questions and just as patiently explained legal terms and concepts in a way that was easily understood. Gary was clearly committed to constructing an estate plan that was right for me. I am eternally grateful for his estate planning expertise, kind professionalism, and very reasonable cost. I will continue to enthusiastically refer Gary to family and friends for all of their estate planning needs! Consistent with his online profile, “Fairness and a commitment to providing his clients with honest, conscientious representation are the qualities that drive Attorney Gary Powell to excel in his legal career.”

When my partner and I decided to formalize our estate planning and establish a trust we contacted several lawyers and found a wide range in prices. Gary was recommended by a good friend and his rate was very reasonable. He offered all of the same services as lawyers charging twice as much. We met with him and found him to be knowledgeable, answering all of our questions in language we could understand. He clearly outlined the steps needed to create the trust and was always available when we had questions about the drafts. We ended up with exactly what we were looking for and were very happy with Gary's professionalism. I would highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for estate planning, he went above and beyond our expectations.

It is difficult to find words sufficiently laudatory to commend Patrick Ford and the appellate work he has done on my behalf .Patrick possesses a rare combination of heart and mind. He is empathic and caring; yet he is no bleeding heart. His personal qualities of kindness and compassion are balanced by razor sharp analytical rigor and rock solid professional integrity. Patrick has an obvious love-and encyclopedic mastery of -the law. Patrick's modest demeanor may downplay his talents, but they are richly displayed in his list of accomplishments- not just in the abstract realm scholarship- but in the real world of the court room, including a precedent setting win before the US Supreme Court. I could never sufficiently think Patrick for the brilliant work is done on my behalf.

My company is developing new technologies and Janna has helped protect us by drafting strong non-disclosure agreements, employment agreements, independent contractor agreements, and filed for trademarks. Also, I now have nearly 20 employees and Janna ensured that my company is complying with California and Federal labor laws. She is very knowledgeable about a wide variety of issues - she has reviewed our leases, insurance policies, and so much more.

To start, I had never needed or envisioned ever needing a lawyer in my life. I found Nick's name multiple times when searching for a civil defense lawyer and scheduled a meeting with him. From the time we first met to the present day he always treated me with the utmost respect and has gone the extra mile to making me feel like I have an ally in my corner. I have called him and contacted him at just about every hour of the day and he's always been prompt with responding. He's represented me through two civil cases and helped me resolve both of them. Nick is worth every penny. He provided me with peace of mind to live my life freely while having a civil case in progress (which can feel like a looming grey cloud). He was super prepared, he gathered a ton of evidence, he was honest with me at every step of the way, and was aggressive with seeking justice (in a good way). I would recommend Nick to anyone that ever needed a civil defense lawyer.

Ronza was my 3rd lawyer after my own first two supposedly "good" lawyers sucked me dry of money in my divorce case. Despite all the skepticism towards lawyers I regained trust, thanks to Ronza, at least in some lawyers out there. Ronza rightly says in her profile that she will guide you in the right direction early on, wherever she thinks someone else may be in a better position to help her clients. That is the biggest thing a client can hope from a lawyer. Apart from her sincerity, she is aggressiveve and gives full attention to her clients case, is very clear on where it would cost how much. Works with you in helping to cut cost where possible. Gives a clear picture, grim or solid, whatever it maybe. No sugar coating or unnecessary fear mongering which some corrupt lawyers use to milk their clients. Would have givenher 5.5 stars if that was an option :) Thanks Ronza!!!

If you need an attorney who is not a push over and very good in court room litigation to step in, or start up, to represent your interests in keeping an opponent in check based on my experience you should give Ehud Gersten a shot.

I hardly ever recommend anyone or anything so that I don't get blamed if things do not go as planned but Ehud is a mandatory recommendation. If you are in need of a lawyer chances are you have serious problems that you need help with so you need to make sure you find the right lawyer. I interviewed several foreclosure defense law firms before moving forward with Ehud and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I'm very impressed with Ehud for many reasons. He is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable and professional. He is an excellent communicator and kept me up to date and informed the whole time. He returns phone calls and emails promptly and even on the weekends. He goes above and beyond his professional responsibilities and provides the highest level of service I could ever expect from a lawyer. The strategies he employed and the arguments he made have saved my home from illegal foreclosure and i now have a pending $3 million claim against the bank. Yes, I would recommend Ehud without hesitation and consider myself very fortunate that I found him.

One of my old debts had been sold to a third party company and they tried to sued me for the balance of the account plus interest. I hired Ehud and he took care of everything in the most professional manner, made sure the debt was removed from my credit report, and even won a settlement in our favor for the damage they caused me.

Barbara Casino and Jack Stennett sent me to an occupational therapist and then used her functional capacity evaluation to convince the neurosurgeon and the judge that I was not able to return to work. Blowing through the smoke and mirrors of the insurance company’s attorneys and sham “medical experts,” Barbara and Jack won complete restitution of my disability benefits.

There is so much I have to say about this lawyer. I will try and keep it short and say, if you are in a situation like I was, dealing with a LTD Disability case and are looking for someone who will work hard, care, fight and never leave you hanging, not knowing what is going on at anytime in your case. Then look no further, stop right here and call this Attorney! Jack (John) Stennett. He won my case, which was not easy against M of O. He fought hard for me and won! There is one thing that meant the most to me about this man. Well a few things but I have to say, when ever I called upset, nervous, or anything. If he was there he took my call. If he wasn't there, he would always call me back right away. This is a quality you do not find with many lawyers. Simply said " The best there is"!

After 50 years of driving I had my first accident and ended up having my license suspended. I am so thankful I hired Randall to represent me at my DMV hearing. He's experienced, personable and knows how to handle DMV suspensions and much more as his website details. Thanks so much Randall. I couldn't have done it without you!

My family and I would like to express our sincere appreciation and gratitude to my lawyer, Randall Page, and his partner, Lisa Wong, for the immediate resolution of my felony domestic violence case resulting in the outcome all in our favor. Upon identifying that my mental health issues played a significant role in the case, Randall immediately gathered all necessary psychiatric records and personally contacted my psychiatrist and requested her to prepare a report containing all pertinent details as required by the court in order to divert my case from criminal to mental health. The report was submitted and the petition for mental health diversion was granted at my next court hearing without any opposition from the DA. The team of Randall and Lisa always kept me informed about the status of my case at all times. They are never too busy to respond to my texts, emails, or phone calls, not mentioning they get the same thing from a number of my family members as well, and they too receive prompt responses every time. For us, this is HUGE! We are blessed to have Randall and Lisa on our side. It didn’t take too long for me to realize that I’m in good hands! Randall and Lisa, on behalf of my entire family, thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts...

Randall Page is the best criminal attorney ever! As a family man, he understands the value of family. I immediately felt a connection with him and attorney Lisa Wong. He was highly recommended by a cop who mentioned Randall Page helped not one but three of his friends and won! I went in with high hopes that he would get my case dismissed and he did. He battled a district attorney that would not budge. Let’s say my case took longer than expected. However, Randall Page was not one to quit until he got my case dismissed. The district attorney played hard ball but was no match for Randall Page. I was so relieved that he was able to get my case dismissed. I can now move forward with my life in peace. Thank you Randall Page and Lisa Wong from the bottom of my heart. Your hard work and dedication paid off.

If I could give Madison more than five stars, I would do it! She is an excellent attorney, with impeccable standards and care for her clients. Madison helped me set up my LLC, wrote the Terms of Use for my on-line business, revised my business agreements, and consulted on other legal aspects of setting up my business entity and services. She is incredibly patient, diligent, thorough and caring! Madison went above and beyond, walking me through various government websites and making sure I understood the legal infrastructure of my business. Madison is brilliant and has a heart of gold.

I unfortunately needed a criminal defense attorney and was pleased with Ms. Frerich's knowledge, professionalism and compassion. She took the time to explain my case so that I understood all aspects of the case. She didn't "sugar coat" any aspect of my case which in hindsight, I appreciated. She kept me calm during my process and she was calm and professional. She allowed me to make payments which was very helpful.

After receiving my 2nd DUI I got in touch with Amy. She was very straight forward and honest with me about my case, which meant I was always aware of every possibility. During my pending 2nd DUI I made the stupid choice to drive again and I ended up receiving my 3rd DUI. Amy showed me no judgment and openly accepted both cases at a increadable rate. Amy went to bat for me in front of both judges and I received only the minimum sentence of 10 days in work release for my second charge and almost the minimum for the 3rd. I could not be more happy with the outcome of my cases with the help from Amy. if there is any other services I need (which I won't). Amy will definitely be the first one I call hands down.

I contacted Nick to represent me with my former employer who was not honoring their commitment to pay on a performance-based bonus. Nick was great to deal with and very upfront about the entire process in terms of setting expectations regarding my situation. I was very impressed with his ability to quickly grasp and understand the situation after only a few conversations. That said, my former employer decided to do the right thing and pay me the earned bonus after receiving only one letter from Nick. I would highly recommended Nick when dealing with employment law matters.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.

    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.

    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:

    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:

    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:

  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:

    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
