Merry Christmas! This has been a heavier hearted year, Even though my case is not solved yet, it does not change the facts up to this point. Brian has dealt with my in jail panic freak outs twice (too many times), before he got me out of jail very quickly (Thank God & my legal team of course!), so he was present for me all the time inside, and I realized he meant it when he said he was not going to abandon me. "It's going to take a lot more to get rid of me" were his words to me as I sat behind glass angry at the world, and during the hardest time of my entire life. Having a lawyer who you can help them to help you by not having to worry about being judged is something that shouldn't be taken for granted. Having my interactions with Brian, I do not have to worry about someone not believing me or not believing IN me, and I get treated like a human being and involved as much as I'd like to be (in laymen terms if need be), and I know what is going on throughout my case and it makes everything a little less stressful because fear of the unknown is already stressful enough when you are talking about your life. Who wants to live with that cloud of uncertainty hanging over your future and your mind? Thankfully, Tonya cares enough to have done forms of talk downs during some of my phone calls when the stress was too much before and Brian has always made time when I was so scared. I am still scared, it makes just enough mental relief to really be life altering, with a team like The Law Offices of Brian White and his paralegal Tonya McKeown. He gets 5 stars for sure and I believe in them. Thanks Brian and Tonya! Thank you for spending your time, always answering, just so much more.

I was facing 3 felony charges and all odds were against me but I was referred to Brian a lawyer who actually wants to help. No doubt I was facing jail time and possibly ruining my life. He was able to work his magic and end the case with me getting a misdemeanor & one year of summary probation! Brian is a very hard working and dedicated lawyer to all his clients. Last but not least his paralegal Tonya McKeown was very helpful and responsive throughout my case, if you are looking for a lawyer and come across these two stop looking because Brian & Tonya are the best!!!

I wanna thank Brian for representing me in such a low point in my life. I dealt with a conspiracy to distribute case and it's haunted for me for 2 years. I was looking at 10 years, then it dropped to 3, then Brian managed to pull of probation on my sentencing date. I'm truly grateful for him and his assistant Tonya McKeown who's helped me every step of the way. With 28 years in experience you should look no further then to hire these 2! Thank you guys so much again!

Kelli is exceptional at what she does. I hired her for a very weak legal issue to represent me. She did not disappoint. She’s fierce, and will tell you like it is and will know if you are feeding her information that is not true. She is worth it! Let her work her magic and trust her. Her professionalism, communication, and attention made me feel heard. No matter what is on her plate, she will make sure you get the service that you never knew you needed. Don’t think about the money, think about peace of mind that she will be giving you at the end of the day.

Be 100% open and candid with her because she’s YOUR ADVOCATE. She’s young and aggressive but she’s also very realistic. She will set realistic expectations from the BEGINNING. If you want to be told what you ‘would like to hear’ instead of what you absolutely NEED to hear then hire someone else. BUT if you would like your high conflict case handled fairly and directly with the goal of LOWERING the hostility and rancor between you and your soon to be former spouse so you can actually come to a resolution BEFORE going to trial, I’d highly recommend Kelli as one of the finest divorce lawyers I’ve ever met.

If you need an attorney who is going to go to bat for you, look no further….Kelli is the real deal. I was lucky enough to get a consult and in that consult Kelli was a straight shooter and gave me the run down of what my case would look like. Kelli approaches law pragmatically and tells you if it’s worth it or not. I really appreciate her honesty and that she breaks it all down for you so you know how it’s going to go and from there you decide what is worth your time and effort. I will definitely be hiring Kelli if I go forward with this child support case. I’m just so glad I found a professional who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but is also forthcoming and genuine. It matters that I have an attorney who represents me and is someone I respect. I know just from the consult that Kelli doesn’t lose. Give her call.

Anything I write about Roseline will only be an understatement. I can't be lucky enough to have her represent my case. As a matter of fact, I had some family law firm represent my case, but after meeting Roseline, I requested her to represent me instead. Everything that can be pulled off in a family court happened in my case. It started with one case, and then came another, and it kept coming.
Roseline is an excellent lawyer, very intelligent, dedicated, composed, and she has seen it all. Her background in criminal defense distinguishes her from other family lawyers. The way she cross-questions and represents in court is speckles. Her questions were direct, to the point, clear, and logically conclusive. The way she plans for court appearances, draft responses, and everything she does is something to learn from. She carries so many years of experience, at times, it felt as if she was reading Judge's mind.
She has such a pleasing and cheerful personality, on meeting her, all my worries would just vanish. With her by my side, I always felt comfortable in court. She not only represented my case well, she is also a great life coach. The world will be so different if all lawyers were like her. Roseline is a genuine and honest person.

Roseline favored my case like it was nothing. She won without any issues and simply helped me get through it with no more stress on my shoulders. I definitely recommend Roseline to anyone that needs a professional attorney. She is super patient and very understanding with your needs. Thank you for your time Roseline.

I can validate what others have stated on this site. I met and hired Dan in 2014 after releasing my first attorney. Needless to say, selecting him to represent me in my high profiled case was one of the best decisions that I ever made.
Besides knowing his way around the courtroom and legal arena, Dan is the definition of what a human being should be and something his fellow attorneys should emulate. He cares so very much about his clients and puts forth countless hours on their behalf to make sure that they are well represented.
I was facing almost five decades of incarceration and am now experiencing the free world in large part due to Dan Greene. You won't be disappointed if you select him to represent you.

It has been a long road for me for the past 5 years on probation. It was really tough, but with the help and expertise of Dan Greene I was able to survive and successfully completed my probation on May 10, 2020. He did an EXCEPTIONAL and PHENOMENAL job from start to finish. Dan cleared the pathway and guided me properly all the way till the end. He saved me from all my miseries especially with my immigration status as permanent resident that I could be facing deportation if not for Dan. It was really remarkable and turning point in my life and my family. He gave me life and freedom. June 6, 2020 I received an email from Dan informing me that he already filed the petition for dismissal of my case on June 3, 2020. I was so pleased and very happy about it that I did not even have to follow up with him. Everything was just automatic for Dan without me reminding him of anything. I am so proud to say that Dan has always been "GREAT and SUPERB". He is a tough lawyer with a heart. I truly admire his work ethics and excellency ever since he handled my case. Without any doubt in my mind I can assure you 100% that you can never go wrong with Dan if you need legal assistance. He is brilliant and top notch. It is hard to find a lawyer with that type of caliber like Dan. He is the "BEST of the BEST". Every penny you pay is worth it. He really work hard for it. He is very honest and sincere in dealing with his clients. With all that being said, surprisingly on August 11, 2020 I received another email from Dan with court documents attached congratulating me for my case was dismissed. While I was reading his message it was a total relief on my part and tears of joy. I told myself that finally everything is all done and now I can move forward for the better for only one reason because of the "GREATNESS" of Dan Greene. Thank you so much Dan for everything that you have done to me and my family. I will always remember this for the rest of my life because, without you I would not be here with my family right at this very moment. My wife and I are truly grateful and lucky to have you not only as our lawyer but as a true friend and most importantly you are already part of the family. It was an amazing journey with you although we had some rough times along the way but at the end of the day we got the best outcome. By the way, congratulations to you for receiving the award as 2019 Trial Lawyer of the year for San Diego. You deserve it. We are so proud of you. Keep up the good work as always. God bless you and your family. We hope to see you soon.

I've never spent this amount of money - in one go - on anything, but I've also never been more satisfied, in my life, with a purchase.
Literally... I've never been happier with anything that I've spent money on.
Dan Greene is a genius, (literally more than) an expert in his craft, a warrior in the courtroom, and a good man.
I consider myself blessed by God to have ended up with Daniel F. Greene as my attorney. If you or a loved one is under fire from the San Diego District Attorney's Office, as I was, then I would unequivocally recommend Dan Greene & The Law Offices of Kerry Armstrong.

I retained Ben to represent me a federal health care fraud and conspiracy case. I was scared, not sleeping, and overwhelmed. Ben and his team stood by me every step of the way through the three-year process it took to resolve the case. I was able to gain valuable insight into the prosecution's perspective of the alleged criminal conspiracy. At the conclusion, Ben obtained a very reasonable outcome for me. Ben and his team always answered all of my questions and kept me informed. It was clear to me that they cared about my well-being and that they would move mountains to ensure that I was treated fairly. This is a journey that you want to share only with the most competent and trustworthy attorney possible. I highly recommend Ben and Danica to anyone who is facing any criminal charge, they are compassionate, zealous and knowledgeable.

"I was apprehended for a federal felony and was facing the prospect of serving multiple years in federal prison. The situation was daunting and caused me considerable anxiety. However, Mr. Cheeks provided me with exceptional legal representation and guided me through each stage of the legal process. Throughout the two and a half year period, Mr. Cheeks kept me apprised of my options and possible outcomes, effectively communicating with me. He demonstrated a strong work ethic and put in significant effort on my behalf. In the end, due to his hard work and dedication, I received a sentence of time served instead of multiple years in custody. I would highly recommend Ben and his team to anyone in need of an experienced and compassionate attorney who delivers excellent results."

Mr. Shapiro is a fantastic lawyer. With myself having never dealt with the legal system in any way he provided me with the help I needed and made it very simple and as stress free as possible. I highly recommend anyone who is in need of a great defense attorney to call the law office of David P. Shapiro.

I hired Mr. Shapiro at a horrible time when my life fell apart very publicly because of a poor choice of mine. David was very helpful at shooting straight with me, as well as teaching me, my wife, and my family about the different nuances, definitions, and options of the legal system (which is a disappointingly designed system). I will never need to, but would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is unbelievably responsive to communication at all times, and his firm is filled with kind, helpful people. If you are looking at this review, best of luck to you, Shapiro is a good choice.

While I don’t wish anyone to be in my position, if someone needs help, I will always recommend David and his firm.
I received the most exceptional legal representation from David throughout this case. David's dedication, expertise, and exceptional communication skills with genuine empathy made a significant difference during what was undoubtedly a stressful and uncertain time for me. Genuine professionalism, integrity, and ethical conduct were evident at every stage of our interactions.
Thank you for your outstanding work.

I thoroughly recommend this firm and the lawyers if you are seeking for someone courteous, considerate, and sensitive to support you through your divorce. Attorney Craig Richard Van Thiel and attorney Grant Bayerle assisted us in proceeding through the separation procedure in timely, reasonable terms. They were comprehensive and reliable, making sure we both understood exactly what we were agreeing to and that we had a child care plan that would be the most beneficial for our son.

I recently went through a collaborative divorce represented by Mike Fischer. He and his staff did an outstanding job during the process. I think it would have been a very rough road without their expertise. They not only provide excellent knowledge and input but a caring spirit that is obvious to all parties. It was a very emotional and stressful period for my ex-wife and myself. We were able to walk away feeling that the best outcome had been accomplished because of the environment by the attorneys. I want to tank Mr. Fischer and his staff for a job well done.

Bashir has helped my family for years. He’s extremely knowledgeable and full of great advice. Before I hired Bashir, I was in a bad place mentally and didn’t think I would have much success, if any, with this process. Bashir assured me there is nothing to worry about and there are multiple approaches to handle the case. He was so kind, he even referred me to someone he works with to help out with another situation. Bashir is extremely professional, but knows when to crack a joke to help make light of a situation. I appreciated this a lot about him. My case was dropped, he helped me apply for my n-400 application for naturalization, and as of the 15th, I am a US citizen. Thank you so much for always answering my calls, text messages, and emails. Thank you for always updating me with my case status, thank you for coming all the way to LA from San Diego to represent me. I am where I am in life because of this man and his services.

Mr. Holt was recommended to my family and I must say over the years, I have grown to admire his work. He treats his clients with the outmost respect. I would recommend anyone seeking immigration assistance to find him FIRST!

Matthew and I went to law school together. I have always known him to be a person of integrity. He is smart, tenacious, and truly cares about all of his clients.

Before retaining Mr. Holt’s firm, I had retained 3 previous attorneys spanning many years who failed to deliver successful conclusions. However, based on a family referral, I contacted the firm of Hurwitz Holt and met with Mathew Holt.
His reasonable flat fee included a monthly payment option. This covered all phases of his legal representation to present my petition.
My case concluded successfully within budget.
His staff worked in concert through the numerous required steps under the supervision of Marina that proved critical to organizing and preparing my case.
What stood out to me most was the efficiency and detail that they extended on my behalf.
Mr. Holt was very accessible to answer my questions and concerns.
They are experts in their legal field. They explained to me in advance what the expectations would be for each step of the process.
I have never written a review for much of anything. But my experience with Hurwitz Holt was uniquely impressive. I am grateful after many years that my case has finally concluded successfully.

I cannot express how grateful I am for the exceptional services provided by the Law Offices of Hasbini - U.S. I recently obtained my green card, and this achievement wouldn't have been possible without the outstanding support of Mr. Hasbini and his team.
From the very first consultation, I was impressed by Mr. Hasbini's professionalism and dedication. What truly sets this law firm apart is their genuine care for their clients. Mr. Hasbini isn't just an outstanding lawyer; he's an incredible person who goes above and beyond to help you navigate the complexities of immigration.
One thing that particularly stood out to me was Mr. Hasbini's attention to detail. He leaves no stone unturned, ensuring that every aspect of your case is meticulously handled. He is always responsive and readily available to answer any questions or concerns, making the entire process feel smooth and stress-free.
What's even more impressive is the speed at which they operate. My daughter also had her case prepared by Mr. Hasbini, and she received her green card in just 5 months! This efficiency is a testament to their expertise and commitment.
Another aspect I greatly appreciated is their transparency in pricing. There are no consultation fees, and there are no hidden costs for visits or services. This level of honesty and integrity is truly refreshing in the legal industry.
In summary, the Law Offices of Hasbini is, without a doubt, the best immigration firm I've ever had the pleasure of working with. They treat you like family, not just another customer. If you're looking for immigration assistance, I highly recommend Mr. Hasbini and his team. They've changed my life for the better, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you, Mr. Hasbini, for making my American dream a reality!

My immigration case was very lengthy and complicated because of its nature. Brian had to work on a few different strategies that all lead to positive results.
Brian laid out the path and explained the steps to me at the beginning, we knew it was going to take a long time but I knew my case was in good hands. He succeeded to pass every step with positive results and I finally got approved for Permanent Residency.
I'm very happy with his consistency and constant communications, 100 % recommended.

Our entire family wants to say thank you very much to Attorney Derek Jay Poulsen for the passionate, thoughtful, and brilliant work! He is a real lifesaver! He did amazing work from the start: consultations, paperwork, plan, representing at the immigration court, and finally after 12 years of the battle with immigration issues he was able to fix it!
Our entire family is so grateful to him for representing us in court and for being a powerful advocate for our family throughout these difficult times.

Thank you so much to Derek and Ruby for being organized, patient, flexible, and extremely professional. They filled out and submitted all my paperwork for adjustment of status through marriage. The application process without them would have been so stressful because there is a lot to keep track of.
Ruby was my case manager and really made herself available to answer any questions I had. I'm sure I repeated my questions multiple times, but she ALWAYS answered them even if she was repeating herself. She made herself available outside of business hours to answer these questions or to receive any documents from me after I got off of work. I could go on and on about how amazing her work ethic is, and I'm very grateful to have worked with her.
I only really interacted with Derek 3 times. The first time was through the consultation, second was a zoom call to prepare me for my interview, and third time was on my interview day. All 3 times Derek was also extremely helpful at answering my questions and put me at ease about the process. I'd like to note that interview day was chaotic. The USCIS interview office had overbooked people, and they ended up having to reschedule ~20 people's interviews. Unfortunately I was one of them, and Derek made himself available for anytime I wanted to reschedule the interview. We ended up going in at 7:00am the following day (which was a rare time and outside USCIS business hours), so he promptly showed up around 6:30am to make sure he was there for my interview.
Thank you so much to Derek and Ruby for facilitating my green card process, and for making sure I always felt at ease/comfortable/safe in dealing with this immigration process.

I found Lesly on Avvo after searching and searching for someone to help me with my sensitive employment case, I called her and received my consultation. I then hired her and from that point on I had a peace that I was being taken care of. Every email, phone call, and question got answered in a timely fashion. She helped me through out the whole process and was a huge support to me through out it all. This being the first time hiring a lawyer I was nervous and didnt know what to expect. I received nothing but the best when hiring Lesly, she is kind, professional, smart and caring. I'm glad she was a part of this chapter in my life. Thank you for everything Lesly.

If you are seeking a knowledgeable, confident and personable attorney, (and I hope you are!) you've just found her in Lesly. I am going through a difficult and very tricky case with a former Employer. Sadly, because it involves an incident outside of California, Lesly would be unavailable to help due to that venue.
I am promoted anyway to write the review and recommend her simply because in my almost 30 years in sales and customer support; I can very quickly and accurately asses whether a person is the "real deal"... or full of worthless talk.
My ONLY disappointment; is that I can't hire Lesly for this case!
Please reach out to her / staff today. You don't want to "settle" for anything less! See what I did there? Seriously- call.

I am a local San Diego civil attorney and I strongly recommend Peter Mesich as your attorney to handle any criminal or civil matters. He has personally represented my family members and friends over the past year - each receiving either an early dismissal, not guilty result or a very favorable resolution. He is the lawyer's lawyer and the guy a lawyer like myself turns to when friends or family are in need of representation.
He works very hard on his cases and he "runs out the groundballs." In a recent case he handled for me just last month, he contacted the police, county witnesses, experts and all witnesses even before the first Court hearing. He was thus more prepared than the seasoned prosecutor at the very first hearing!
You cannot go wrong with Peter as your attorney.

Peter was an absolute life saver to me. I had not dealt with DUI issues before, so when this all began, I knew I needed a good attorney. I originally liked the fact that Peter had been a prosecutor before working as a defense attorney. My case was a bit complicated, but after I got into the process, I did see that Peter made a great difference. When I was working out the consequences of my DUI, I saw that other people with the same BAC that I had were assigned to the nine-month program at OHS. In addition, the same people that were assigned to the 9-month OHS program were assigned 14 days of the Work Project Program - I would have lost a lot of income if I had been subjected to such lengthy programs ! I was given three months of OHS classes and only 4 days of the Work Projects Program. That is an amazing testament to Peter's skill !! Before my Arraignment, Peter indicated to me everything I needed to do to get a reduced sentence, and I did all of it. I didn't want to bug Peter too much while the case was in process, but I did waste some money on bail bonds because I hadn't contacted him... I could have been out on my own recognizance !!!! Peter will help you immensely; keep calling him about those minor details, he won't mind. He would prefer to do a great job for you. That is way his service is a great investment.

Peter was a guiding light for me during a very nerve wracking period. I received a misdemeanor and a potentially steep fine, and did not know where to turn. Peter came very highly recommended and was a real savior. He took total control of the case and made himself readily available at any time. He worked tirelessly to have the charges minimized to a much more acceptable fine with no other repercussions. Peter handled the whole case in the most professional and up front manner. There would be no one else that I can think of in the San Diego area that I would rather turn to than Peter. Thank You!!!

I am really greatful to have met MrGriffin he is upfront and there for you no matterwhat. When you hire him he is on your side and personally makes sure that every detail is cared for!! If you are looking for an attorney who actually cares about you and is incredibly smart and really good at his job please call him!! What I would have faced without him there would have cost me a lot more money and time I had several family members who had serious health problems and he really took care of me!! I'm not sure how bad it could have gotten before the pandemic but because I had him on my side I was able to settle the matter before it started and be ther for my fam!!
Also he dosnt just stop as your lawyer. If there is anything he can't help you with here searches (actually researches) and directs you toward other great people who can!!

My wife of 25 years filed a restraining order against me. I am in my seventies, a retired surgeon, and have never had this kind of legal issue.

I had the pleasure of working with Robert Sagerian at Jurewitz Law Group after I suffered an injury.
From our very first meeting, I was impressed by their professionalism, empathy, and deep knowledge of personal injury law.
Jurewitz Law Group took the time to understand my situation and answered all my questions with patience. I felt supported throughout the entire process, which made a difficult time much more manageable, making me feel valued as a client.
Thanks to Jurewitz Law Group’s hard work and dedication, I received a settlement that exceeded my expectations. Their negotiation skills and attention to detail were evident, and I am truly grateful for their efforts on my behalf.
If you are looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate injury lawyer, I highly recommend Jurewitz Law Group. Thank you for everything!

Robert was phenomenal throughout my entire case. not only did he make sure I got a fair settlement, him and the entire BF team were pretty great on communicating everything that was going on.
Robert and the team even sent me a plant and their sentiments when I had a traumatic family loss. Robert makes sure that you as the client feel comfortable & I love that he was always open, honest and informative. Hopefully I don’t have anymore accidents in the future but if I do I know who I’m contacting.

I worked with Jason Lawrence Jones, and from day one he was just fantastic! clear, honest, and mostly efficient with all the papers. I got a bankruptcy chapter 7 as he told me it was the best option for me.
The whole process was simply and clear, no surprises of any kind.
Very happy with the work.

Jason Jones is a fantastic lawyer. Not only because he is extremely knowledgeable in the Bankruptcy Law arena, but also because he is patient, helpful and explains the issues with your case until you understand them fully.
We live in an age, especially within the Bankruptcy realm, where lawyers share the common perspective of attracting cases that bring in a low-dollar, but at a high-volume. Thus, any client that presents a case with a complication, glitch, or a request for extra time invested via an additional explanation is avoided. Jason, however, does not share this perspective.
My Bankruptcy case was extremely complicated. I accrued a tremendous amount of debt, prior to a recent marriage, that on paper appeared to fall into a Ch. 11 category. Previously, I spoke with several lawyers who frankly wasted my time with in-take forms and lack of communication. Jason, however, was different.
On his own time, he listened to my situation, understood the intricacies and took on my challenge. In fact, Jason peeled away the layers and misinformation from others, explained the Means Test, and enabled me to realize that my case was really a complicated a Ch. 7 and not anything else.
Ultimately, I succeeded with my case and would not have reached this goal if I didn't secure Jason's representation. He and his associate, Rachel, were extremely informative, knowledgeable and patient. I must have spent several hours on the phone with Jason understanding my complications that I know for certain was not included in my fee.
I thank Jason and Avatar Legal for a job well done and would recommend his services to anyone who is seeking a great lawyer.

Jason was wonderful during our bk process. It is not a process that one is happy to enter, but he made us feel at ease right away. He had a long conversation with us, answered all of our questions, and told us what we could expect. During the process we felt we were in the best hands with he and Rachel-- that they really knew what they were doing and looking out for us. I would go to them again in a hearbeat and recommend anyone else you them. I am so happy someone recommended us to them. It couldn't have been a better decision. You know from the start that you are in good hands.

My family and I would recommend Mark with the highest rating. He is very knowledgeable, responsive, communicative and easy to speak with. I spent several hours consulting with different law firms and while everyone else was focused on the problem, Mark was focused on the solution. Mark's goal is best possible outcome for his client and he did just that. If you are reading this, it's probably because you or a loved one are in trouble and it's a scary and stressful situation. At a time like this, another mistake cannot be afforded, especially the wrong counsel. Mark is your best choice and he will spend the time to get to know you as a client, past and present situation and set a path forward.

After my accident, Richard made sure that I was made whole again. He was professional, reassuring, and timely. He guided me through every step of this process and garnered the extent of the insurance policy. Accidents happen and they can be frightening. It was Morse Injury that gave me the confidence to know I was being taken care of.

Teddy R McNamara is an excellent attorney specializing in estate planning and probate. Teddy prepared my living trust and throughout this process he was extremely through and knowledgeable. Besides knowing the law regarding trusts inside and out he has all the traits you look for in choosing an attorney. Although he is very busy he takes time to answer any and all questions. I liked Teddy as an attorney right away. I quickly got to know him as more than just my attorney but as a friend as well. I enjoyed working with him very much. The whole experience was very easy knowing he cared not only as my attorney but also as my friend. Thank you Teddy for giving me the peace of mind for my family’s future.

Eight years ago, my family contracted with Teddy McNamara to amend my father's trust upon his death. Teddy's work back then assured that we returned to him eight years later when my Mom passed away. Teddy was attentive and very responsive in dealing with the administration of my Mom's trust/estate, which involved long-distance tasks/signing papers. In addition, Teddy was very available at all times (particularly on weekends and after hours), and was personable. We shared travel information, which was a welcome diversion from all of the tasks at hand! We greatly appreciated this aspect. Administration of my Mom's estate was timely and quick, which is how I wanted it to be.
The only recommendation I would make is that documents be reviewed a bit more thoroughly before going to the client, i.e. spelling and correct names. A quick re-check before sending documents out would probably suffice.

Teddy is not only an excellent lawyer, he is genuinely one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is a hard worker and takes great pride in running an honest business. He single-handedly turned around the most difficult time of my life and I now consider him a trusted friend. Since then, he has referred me to a number of other business professionals, all of whom exhibit his same work ethic and personal touch.

Daniel is a very knowledgeable attorney with exceptional legal skills.
Being a lawyer myself, I can attest that if I had to choose a person to represent me in court, Daniel would be the first attorney I would call for help and legal advice. Ironically, I just did – that is how good he is.
Highly recommended.

Being in the busy city of San Diego California, I wasn’t expecting to get in a car accident on my way to work. Hanecak Law went above and beyond to work for what was right. Dan helped me receive more money than expected for the accident. They fought in order for betterment at the end of the settlement. Dan was personable and thorough throughout the whole case. For using an attorney for the first time, I more than recommend using Hanecak Law. Dan pushed and pushed for all he could as well as helped me with post traumatization from the accident; I could not be more happier with how the case ended.

Attorney Dan Hanecak represented me in an accident claim in Sacramento County. He did a phenomenal job! 10 on communication, response time, accuracy, wisdom and knowledge. Most importantly, he was extremely supportive and understanding. I was referred to him by a friend of mine and I had never used him before. Dan treated me like a victim, not a paycheck. He understood my case, my position and was a great listener. After almost a year of getting nowhere with my initial attorney who took my case, Dan was able to get my claim paid IN FULL, in less than 6 months!! PLEASE CALL DAN!!

About twenty years ago, Tony had helped my parents and I get through a challenging criminal case. Achieving the best result possible. But, it is now twenty years later and I am scrambling for an attorney in a family law case. I thought of Tony briefly, but shrugged him off thinking.....he doesn't practice family law. Until, I am now down to the wire and I need representation fast, like now. I am downtown San Diego and I decide to reach out to Tony on a whim. Not only do I locate Tony, I leave a message with his firm briefly explaining the situation. Its a Friday and I am thinking I am toast. The next day, Saturday, and Tony calls and tells me to meet him on Monday to go over the case. I did not even have to ask him one question about fees? is he available, can he be proactive, nothing. It was like such loyalty from his prior work twenty years ago like it was yesterday! He did not miss a beat. He was on it from hello and went on to win with the best results possible. I guess I am trying to say that Tony is so good and with it for his clients that he responded just like the twenty years did not even exist. He operates today like he did twenty years ago. And he has been through a hell of a lot since then. Tony is my attorney for life! No questions asked. The best in his class. There is no one better, period !! I rest my case.

I have never heard of a divorce is traumatizing or as messy as my own. I was devastated by the unfair and untrue allegations my ex brought to the court and the resulting financial, custody, emotional and mental battle that ensued. Tony met with me the same day I contacted him and assured me he would always tell the truth even if I didn’t want to hear it. I was not at all prepared financially for this divorce and we worked out a very reasonable payment plan. The constant onslaught of paperwork, emails, Serving notices and phone calls were very overwhelming but Tony was able to take care of everything for me and simplify the process in a situation I thought would never resolve. Once the dust settled and I felt emotionally and mentally ready to represent myself Tony graciously shared the pros and cons of my decision and we came to an agreement that I could handle the rest on my own. I would highly recommend Mr. Solare to anyone facing an extremely difficult divorce with high conflict and mental and emotional trauma involved.

Going through divorce is stressful, but I can tell you that Steve Murphy represented me over the course of nearly ten years and I can't imagine having navigated the courts without him. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has fought and won all of the large battles and countless small ones resulting in me having nearly 100% physical custody of my two young boys. Steve Murphy is experienced, insightful, compassionate, and direct. And by "direct", I mean that he would let me know when I wanted to run down a path that we would most likely lose-- which saved me time and money.

I can not begin to express how appreciative I am for the level of service and support I have received from Steve Murphy and his outstanding paralegal, Laura Romero. Steve came highly recommended by a close friend of mine that was going through a very difficult divorce. I already heard about the miracles Steve and Laura pulled off in his case before I was even looking for representation for my own difficult divorce.
My divorce went straight into the frying pan from day one with not only needing to retain Steve to represent me for my divorce but also for the nefarious restraining order my spouse filed. Not only did this pour gasoline on an already difficult situation, but it was also compounded by the fact my custody with my 15-month-old son was in severe jeopardy. Lucky for me, not only is Steve a seasoned family court veteran, but he has extensive criminal case experience that came in handy to defend my DVTRO. As you can imagine, this has been a terrifying time in my life, and I have only been able to keep my composure because of the phenomenal work Steve and Laura have done on my case. They have already won a few battles in my DVTRO and saved my custody with my son. We still have more battles to work through before the DVTRO is dropped and the divorce becomes final, but I have only been able to sleep better at night knowing I have Steve and Laura here to help me through this challenging time. If you want high-quality representation with a seasoned successful attorney, you are in great hands with Steve and Laura.
