Excellent attorney, if you actually listen to her. I am sad to say I didn't take her advice when she told me to divorce myself from my husband on our case. She still did her best trying to defend me...

This lawyer is nothing short of five stars. Rocky is a proven professional that can be counted on for no nonsense critical legal advice. I can't say enough good things about this lawyer. Positive, upbeat and a truthful approach to issues/controversy sets this lawyer above all others. I can't imagine asking anyone else for legal advice. He will tell you straight up whether you are strong or exposed. I view such information/advice/opinion critical to making smart decisions.. I like being right; that is why I like people that give me straight analysis that may or may not be in line with my view. Such advice keeps me from making silly mistakes. At the end of the day, that is what you get from Rocky; straight analysis and advice that keeps you from making silly mistakes.

Handled a consumer fraud claim for me. He is knowledgeable and the judge even complimented him on this. He does not lose his cool in court so the judge was very responsive to him. I was very impressed with how amazing this guy was. I was very inexperienced on the stand and he explained everything very well. He got me one hundred percent of my money back. I have never has so much confidence in a lawyer. Plus he has an excellent bed side manner. I cannot recommend him enough.

I have very high standards when I am the client. I engaged James to handle a matter of importance to me, and he did a great job. His advice was careful and understanding and he gave me excellent advice, which I followed to the letter. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others!

I engaged the services of Mr. Barnier to construct a contract for the sale of my business. He completed his task with speed and thoroughness. I expected this from any professional. What I did not anticipate was his continued support and advice long throughout the process. Many times before the sale was complete, David stepped in to facilitate the transaction. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Barnier for all his good work.

We hired David to address our rights associated with a family member’s estate plan. David took care to note our goals and concerns during the lawsuit, efficiently negotiated a resolution that was consistent with our goals, and kept us updated throughout the process. I would definitely recommend David should you have a similar need.

Joshua Anaya goes the extra mile for his clients, he is dedicated to protecting consumers from auto dealers and much more. Joshua took my case and was very diligent on keeping me updated on the status of the case and the timely delivery of documents to be signed as we were over 5 hours away from each other. He is an asset to anyone seeking help as he is knowledgeable and has shown to be an assertive attorney. We have won a victory in one part of our case against CarMax and he continues to fight for the outcome that is best for us.

Tim Williams was a great recommend for legal expertise around CA labor laws. He was very helpful making a difference in what I needed, quick in response (within hours), delivers what he says he will deliver, reasonable, clear, knowledgeable, goes above and beyond with resources and tools, and to top it off, a pleasure to work with the business at hand which can be important especially around sensitive difficult matters. It can be challenging to identify excellent legal services. I have had the misfortune of working with very poor legal services so I find it to be a significant boon to have located and worked with Tim Williams.

Thank you Mr. Williams for your professionalism and attentiveness.

No one wants to go through bankruptcy. It's a terrible time and I was feeling really badly about having to do it at all. But, from the first phone conversation, Julian put me at ease and I knew everything was going to be all right. I have mega-anxiety problems and he was so patient and good humored about it. He surely must have been frustrated with me at times, but he never let it show. He told me I was in his hands and I couldn't have hoped for better hands in which to be. From beginning to end, he kept me informed and went out of his way for me (literally - hundreds of miles). And his sense of humor was really refreshing. Not really something you expect from a lawyer. He knows his stuff and walked me (patiently) through everything that had do be done. Couldn't have asked for better counsel. He actually made the experience almost enjoyable.

Julian came to our rescue after our first attorney lost confidence in our case. He told us our last option to avoid the $200,000 personal injury suit was to file for bankruptcy and thats how we met Julian. After filling Julian in, he immediately expressed compassion for us and took on our case with nothing but complete optimism. After almost 3 years of threatening letters, legal fees, a miscarriage etc, Julian delivered results. He successfully negotiated settlement down to $1,500 all the way from $200,000 and he has lifted the most tremendous weight off of our shoulders. We sought counsel from 5 attorneys total, Julian was the only man prepared!

I'll never be able to pay Julia Yoo and Eugene Iredale back. They listened to my story when no one would. When they agreed to represent me I was broken. Over time, I was pleased and satisfied that I had them fight for me. They helped me through the healing process and won a judgement at trial then settled the case for a larger sum. Julia is a civil rights expert and I have the most respect for her.

I was a seventeen year old kid in trouble goig nowhere. When something bad happened to me, no one cared and no one stood up for me. Julia is the only lawyer who even listened to my story. It's been over seven years since she fought for me the way no one else ever did. Since the time she settle my case, I got my GED, never went back to jail, got enough money to take care of my family and I.

Mr. Boyce represented me in my complex appellate case. After
3 1/2 years and a dedicated effort on his part, the case ended in a unanimous reversal ruling in my favor at the District Appellate and the California Supreme Court levels.
I was facing almost five decades in prison and am now a free man due to this outstanding attorney.
His wealth of experience in the California appellate and criminal defense court arenas is well documented. Mr. Boyce kept me updated during this difficult journey in my life and described the legal steps in the process. He fights for his clients and spends countless hours making sure that they are well represented.
If you are looking for one of the very best lawyers in San Diego, you would be fortunate to select this law firm.

I had the privilege of hiring Mr Boyce to handle my case to have my felony record expunged, and also my "go to" lawyer in other things. He is the best lawyer i have talked to and I would say the mos honest lawyer I come across. I was convicted of a crime I did not commit because of the ineffectiveness of a money driven attorney I hired, I should have hired him to handle my case and in all likelihood, I would not have been convicted for the the crime that did not occur.

My case involved multiple building code violations along with harassment, racial abuse, sexism, and health risks. In addition, we were dealing with a incompetent landlord who did not maintain the property. Not to mention, hires criminals to be managers and maintenance personnel given their criminal history. I was even exposed to black mold in the unit. Marc and his team are fighters! They will work diligently around the clock to ensure the case is solid. Marc took the time to inspect the property, meet with witnesses, and speak with healthcare providers regarding the case. He isn't just doing this for the money, he has a genuine interest fighting for the underdog. Honestly, if you're seeking to find a attorney that is well versed with real estate matters, go to Marc. He is one of the best attorneys in San Diego county. I'm so grateful to hire him for this case. As a result, we ended up having the insurance to settle. Worth to hire.

My case covered real estate contracts, construction, mold, water intrusion, ethics, a defendant who is a judge, renter's rights and a whole host of other issues. Marc is perhaps the most compassionate and ethical attorney/person I have ever met. Every step along the way he presented scenarios, possible/probable outcomes/consequences allowing me to chose which road I felt comfortable with. I used to introduce him as my lawyer but now I introduce his as my good friend.

I was referred to Bill by another attorney that my brother in law was using at the time while being in Northern California and dealing with a out of state attorney that i fired. When Bill picked up the pieces he moved swiftly and communicated with me every step of the way if i had questions he would answer them in a timely manner. I was in a car accident and had to have two surgerys and had lots of questions. Within a week i had a Dr appointment and a check in the mail to pay for it. Before you know it my case was won! Bill did an amazing job along with his assistant Claudia! I would highly recommend Bender & Gritz and I will be using Bender & Gritz in the future when needed!

I was referred to Anna by a friend. I needed some legal forms written up and gone over with me. I was also in somewhat of a hurry.

She was also very knowledgable in the matter at hand which made me feel safe and protected. I am very thankful for Anna and if you need legal help she is the best.

I would definitely recommend Nick as an attorney.

We wanted a Christian lawyer and that's how we found Jenifer Swanson. We needed a lawyer to file my Mother's Probate. What inspired us about Jenifer is that she prayed before our consultation. We explained the matter of having no Trust and Jenifer went step by step the instructions and proper procedures needed for this consuming process. Her professional expertise was Truly a Blessing. We are Thankful for everything Jenifer did for us in the Probate. The filing of the documents for court, her updated emails and phone calls were greatly appreciated. I highly encourage anyone looking for an honest, Christian lawyer to handle a Trust or Probate issue.
Swanson Law Offices is the Right Choice.
