Webb Law helped me with a simple matter, it went smoothly with the other party and required about half the estimated amount of effort. Webb Law inflated the billing hours to consume 100% of the retainer. A planned meeting with one $250/hr employee was attended by three people billing nearly a combined $1k/hr, their attendance was not necessary and did not add value. Sending me a boilerplate document was billed at 2 hours. I contacted them about my concerns and they dismissed them and offered legal mediation as the only resolve. If you choose to use Webb Law be very clear about who you are meeting with, what their cost is, and how long it will take.

Su represented me as my defense in an extremely difficult and high stakes 2.5-year case that ended in trial. Plaintiff, plaintiffs counsel and plaintiffs peers conspired to embellish and fabricate “new facts” for a favorable outcome and Su was able to expose Plaintiffs embellishments and craft an impressive argument around conduct and credibility that ultimately won over the jury with $0 granted to the plaintiff! On top of this, Su took my case extremely personally as if it was her being sued personally taking on a full office of plaintiffs counsel seemingly with ease. I would now consider a good friend and feel sorry for anyone with the misfortune of competing against her in the future.

I have worked with Pete on many legal matters over the past decade. He has formed at least a half dozen companies for me ranging in complexity and financial structure. He has also helped me with asset sales. Besides creating the legal for my businesses, Pete has helped me in personal legal matters as well. He is smart and level headed. These qualities allow him to see clearly in a variety of legal matters across a number of industries. Often attorneys are let “off the chain” at a moment of crisis rather than engaged in a process from the beginning to insulate risk. Pete’s calm demeanor allow him to be part of the conversation from the beginning. He is objective and brings an incredible amount of value to any conversation and legal situation. Pete will be the first to tell you that he is not an expert in every field and I respect him for that honesty. However, I believe that his clear thinking, thorough approach, understanding of the entrepreneurial process, and his trustworthiness provide clients with everything they need from their standard counsel. Pete is a top notch attorney. In moments of legal intensity Pete has a cool hand. Above all he is an excellent human being.

I was discriminated against and had no idea of my rights. I was not even sure that I could contact a lawyer because it was "company policy" my best advice is to reach out with your questions/concerns and let a lawyer guide you! I would hire her 100% she was actually the 2nd lawyer that I consulted with the first one sent me an email explaining he was not interested in taking on the case/ me becoming a client, it was titled "non engagement" BEFORE I GAVE UP I reached out to Daphne & I am so thankful, just her consultation alone saved me money for the time being.

My employer stated I had 8 weeks but after consulting with Daphne she shared they were wrong and that CFRA California regulations states I had 12! I brought it up to my employer and they confirmed I had 12 (but never once brought it up as an option). I feel as moms we get taken advantaged of sometimes and I’m so glad that Daphne brought attention and highlighted my rights as a mother to a newborn.

Being the victim in an auto accident is an horrible experience, especially when left with permanent injuries. I interviewed 2 senior personal injury attorneys before Mr. Sibley, and neither wanted to take my case because they did not think they could get much for themselves in a settlement. Then I was referred to Mr. Sibley and I was delighted that he would take the case. I knew he was a driven top notch attorney when we met. His professional skills, knowledge of the field, his manner, and sense of justice impressed me on day 1. It was clear to me that he was up to date on all the specifics to win my case and he had an amazing drive and stellar personality that gave me great assurance that he was the lawyer that I needed. Trusting your attorney and having the utmost confidence in him helps to reduce the personal stress of what I knew would be a lengthy legal affair. He was always punctual, kind, on the ball, polite, and clearly very learned with the latest information for a case like mine. He fought for me and always kept me well informed. If I ever had to seek the services of a PI attorney, it would be Mr. Sibley. He never failed to keep his word, and he knew the best strategy to take with each step. I hold him in the highest regard.

My experience with Liz Bumer has been exceptional. She is very thorough and spends a lot of time researching and reviewing, as any counselor should. While working on one of my family member's case, she was offended by the ignorance and unfair treatment a commissioner giving my brother. Liz immediately took action. She notified us every single step of the way. She is determined to do the right thing and does not hold back. With a fighter like Liz in our corner we are sure to be successful. I appreciate her willingness to send after hours messages to me about the case Liz keeps me informed as soon as she knows anything more. I feel more transparency to the case when I deal with Liz, she fights for what is right and just. Due to her diligence and research, she comes into court prepared. She has a level head and a sound mind. Her professionalism and respect far exceed many of her colleagues. Her compassionate approach to her caseload is noble and commendable.

Mr. Golchin was my lawyer for a case which a careless driver passed the red light at a intersection and hit my car so badly. My car was totaled and I was screened by the emergency. Unfortunately, the other driver did not acknowledge her fault, initially. But becasue of high endeavors, efforts, and consistency of Mr. Golchin, the other driver's insurance take the responsibility of the accident and paid the maximum available amount for my medical expenses and etc. Mr Golchin is available almost 24/7 for answering your concerns and providing you with the helpful advice. He replies all the emails promptly. All the paperwork were done remotely (online) and there was no need to meet him in person. I highly appreciate Mr. Golchin skills, patience, supports, and efforts for finely settling my difficult case.

In 2014, when I was stranded in Tijuana, MX after escaping political persecution in my home country (long story), I frantically looked for an immigration attorney to seek asylum in the US. I shot off emails to several SD attorneys, asking them questions the answers to which I already knew to gauge their: 1) responsiveness and 2) expertise. You'd be surprised how often lawyers provide the wrong answers even during the first consultation. No way I'm paying a single cent to any lawyer who doesn't know the law. It turned out that Mr Golchin was the only who responded promptly AND correctly. Not only that, he PERSONALLY TRAVELED DOWN TO MEXICO just to meet me, and this was before I even retained him. That just goes to show his sheer dedication and willingness to go the extra mile in performing his duties. He left an extremely positive impression so I retained him. When I was in immigration detention, he worked tirelessly to liaise with ICE officers to get me released ASAP and also visited me personally. With his assistance, I was finally paroled into the US. When the time came to file for a work permit and to file for asylum (I-589), Mr Golchin prepared the necessary form and documents conscientiously and accurately so as to prevent unnecessary delays. When I had to defend my case in court in Los Angeles, Mr Golchin traveled more than a handful of times to my city to represent me in court. Though not a loud/flamboyant lawyer, he knows the law extremely well, he makes a huge effort to acquaint himself with the facts of your case, and when arguing he adopts a deliberate, collected, yet persuasive tone to convince the immigration judge of his position. Mr Golchin and I have always prepared through Skype conferences or personal meetings right before any court appearance. Most importantly, Mr Golchin won my case for me (I'm finally a US asylee) at first instance, and the government attorney had also promised not to appeal the decision. I think, after all said and done, this is the most important point. I wouldn't be singing praises if my case had to go to appeal. I've also always felt comfortable consulting Mr Golchin on not only immigration matters but also other legal matters. He has been of assistance to me in legal matters beyond immigration. In short, I'd highly recommend Mr Golchin for your immigration-related matters. He's the perfect combination of legal expertise and also genuine care and attentiveness for his clients.

Kelly did a fantastic job drafting our prenuptial agreement. We ended up in a time crunch because of another lawyer dragging their feet and doing a poor job, and Kelly took our project and completed it quickly and professionally. She let us know what was happening each step of the way and was a frequent and clear communicator. I felt she had the best interest of me, my spouse, and our relationship in mind with her suggestions and solutions. If you're looking for the best to write a prenuptial agreement, Kelly is your lawyer!

Kelly was honest and supportive from the day I met her. She did not give me any false hope of any out come I desired and guided me in the direction of the most predictable outcome based on the law and her experience. She is loyal and ethical and made sure everything was done without mistakes. Any mistakes made during mediation or after could have hurt in the long run. It felt good to have someone by my side who really cared and who was educated enough to make a difference.

I was referred to Kelly by my personal attorney, who strongly recommended her based on the experience of his previous clients. I hired Kelly Waggonner both to write my pre-nuptial agreement and to be my consulting attorney during a mediated divorce when my marriage ended. Kelly is intelligent, knowledgeable, balanced, and a tremendous thought partner. I believe re-hiring a service professional is the best sign of a positive experience. As noted previously, I have hired her twice. I plan to use her again if I ever have a need for representation in family law or mediation.

Now 7 years later I the future is looking bright. I hired her for all of the steps, from my change status to my naturalization. She is very knowledgeable, she knows what to expect and the different scenarios and outcomes, she is honest and most important she treats you like a person, not a case file, a quality not easy to find anymore. I trust and recommend her 100% Como la mayoría de los abogados, conocí a Susan en un momento muy difícil de mi vida. Realmente temía por mi futuro, pero Susan fue muy compasiva y extremadamente profesional en cada paso del camino. Ahora, 7 años después, el futuro se ve brillante. La contraté para todos los pasos, desde mi cambi de estatus hasta mi naturalización. Está muy bien informada en como funcionan las leyes de imigracion, sabe qué esperar y los diferentes escenarios y resultados. Es honesta y lo más importante es que lo trata como a una persona, no como un caso mas, una culidad de sercivio que ya no es fácil de encontrar. Confío y la recomiendo al 100%. y habla español.

I was referred to Susan from the San Diego Lawyer referral service. I know lawyers are not cheap, but I have never regretted one second hiring this woman. She has been worth every penny. I had a basic my husband is a foreigner and we needed to adjust his status. But her and her office team knew right away what forms to fill out, documents I would need, etc. It is true what all the other reviews say. She does get back to you very quickly and gets things done in a timely manner. I have read that other immigration lawyers have delayed the process for other people because they take forever to respond to questions or get their paperwork done. Not this office. I have had all sorts of random question about the immigration process and things I can and can not do with my husband and she has been there every step of the way to help us. We are not done yet with the process, but it definitely has given me a peace of mind knowing she'll be there with us through the journey.

I contacted Michael requesting legal advice on a very aggressive deadline, and even though my case was not in the wheelhouse of the specialty, he quickly researched and provided effective legal advice prior to the required timeline. I found him to be knowledgeable and thorough with a high level of competence. He listened to me and was very responsive to my needs. If he didn’t know the answer to my question, he quickly worked to find it. Even though he felt there could be grounds for a lawsuit he advised against it so that my case would not be tied up for months in litigation preventing me from receiving my current settlement. I appreciate his honesty, he has changed my perception of lawyers, and he returns integrity to the practice of law. I highly recommend him for any of your legal needs. He is a true asset to his profession.

My case involved me working with a business partner with whom I had a verbal contract. I was to exchange work for a percentage of a company we would start together. As Founders, we made many sacrifices to get the company off the ground and make it successful. When I later demanded my shares in writing, my partner made excuses until finally severing the relationship and exploiting my failure to get a written contract in place. Mr. Paschall took the time to fully understand my complicated position and presented several options that I did not know were available. In short, I didn't know my rights. He quickly got the company to relinquish back pay I was owed, but they did not want to give me my shares. I filed a lawsuit with Mr. Paschall as my representation. Our claim included: 1. UNFAIR BUSINESS PRACTICES 2. NONPAYMENT OF MINIMUM WAGE 3. FAILURE TO PAY WAGES WHEN DUE 4. FAILURE TO PROVIDE ACCURATE ITEMIZED WAGE STATEMENTS 5. WRONGFUL TERMINATION IN VIOLATION OF PUBLIC POLICY 6. INTENTIONAL MISREPRESENTATION 7. FALSE PROMISE 8. CONCEALMENT 9. NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION 10. CONVERSION 11. BREACH OF CONTRACT 12. BREACH OF FIDUCIARY DUTY 13. PROMISSORY ESTOPPEL 14. ACCOUNTING For 2 years my x-partner tried to spend me out of court and get me to quit. Mr. Paschall handled their tact wisely and with authority. He kept on top of them every step of the way and applied pressure when it matter most. After taking depositions, and with our court date closing in, the defendants knew they were outclassed. Mr. Paschall negotiated a complete buyout as a settlement. The company claimed they couldn't afford to buy me out, and their numbers showed it. In response, Patrick structured my settlement to be payed out over time and secured by a stipulation of judgement, against not only the company, but also the individual. I've begun to receive my payments on time, and consider this a win. If you have any business law or labor law claims and you'd like to know your rights, Patrick is your man. His communication skills, knowledge, and passion make him one of San Diego's best lawyers.

Communication with her was open at all times and if she is busy, she would make sure to get back to you as soon as she could. I had 4 misdemeanors charged against me with 60 days custody over my head. With a couple months of negotiating, I get a call with great news. 60 day custody was dropped and 3 of 4 misdemeanors were dropped. The outcome was truly more than I can ask for. Vanessa puts in the time and truly cares in achieving the best outcome for you. I highly recommended her for your legal needs!

Mr. Brian E. Watkins has been my family's attorney for over 20 years, consistently demonstrating exceptional intelligence, deep legal knowledge, professionalism, and compassion across more than 10 cases. These have ranged from minor misdemeanors to serious felony charges, including DUI, fraud, and assault. In every instance, Mr. Watkins has significantly mitigated the original charges, securing remarkable outcomes. For instance, he managed to have a felony charge against my brother dismissed, which initially carried a potential sentence of over 20 years. Another misdemeanor fraud case was resolved without jail time, only requiring restitution. My DUI was reduced to a wet reckless charge, which was the best possible outcome. In my personal case of felony assault, facing another 20+ years, Mr. Watkins negotiated no jail time, just three years of probation and a year of educational classes. Additionally, after my father's car accident, Mr. Watkins secured a settlement ten times greater than the initial insurance offer. Whenever trouble arises, I am confident and reassured when Brian E. Watkins represents me, knowing I am in the hands of one of the best attorneys available. If you're considering him for legal representation, rest assured, you'll be in excellent hands.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    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:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    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:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
