What a class act! Not just a phenomenal Attorney, Frank Polek is an outstanding human being. Mr. Polek successfully represented me in a case that was challenging and highly emotional for me. He literally took every ounce of anxiety away from me, was extremely persistent in my position and never backed down from the truth. In the end, it was a victory for me. I could never thank Mr. Polek enough for his representation and handling my case as he did. Extremely professional and knowledgeable. I would HIGHLY recommend Mr. Polek to anyone who needs legal assistance.

When a competing company plagiarized my company's website, I didn't know where to start. I was fortunate enough to find Frank and he went to work on my case right away. He was very knowledgeable, provided reassurance and advised me of my options along the way. Frank was able to settle the dispute and protect my company's intellectual property. I especially appreciated how he would follow up with me on a regular basis and was able to translate the complexities of copyright law into terms that I could understand. I hope that I do not need an attorney anytime soon, but if I do, I will definitely be contacting Frank again!

Unemployment appeals had never been an issue with me ever. I didn’t know how to approach it. Without any income coming in and not knowing if I could secure employment anywhere, I was very stressed. Ms. Andrea Carter met with me on very quickly with just a days notice on my hearing. She is very professional and non-judgmental. There was never a moment that I felt uncomfortable going through this experience while working with Andrea. I felt like she was my friend as well as doing her job responsively. Andrea was also a friendly voice keeping me informed and encouraged. If needed again, I wouldn't go anywhere else. She is an expert. I appreciated all that she did for me. I would highly recommend her services to anyone that is looking for a great trustworthy lawyer.

When i first met with Lori, she encouraged me to get consults from other attorney's before i made my decision. I respect that because I did not feel forced into making a life changing decision. Lori was very knowledgeable and honest about my case. She was very responsive to my emails and phone calls. There were times when I let my emotions get the best of me and Lori handled them professionally. At the end, Lori turned out to be the perfect choice, helping me walk away with a fair settlement. I think the best thing about Lori, was that she was the only attorney. You do not have to worry about someone else handling your case. There is no doubt in my mind that Lori will be my first choice for now on.

I engaged Ms Hoddy to represent me in an uncontested divorce. Even though it was uncontested there were a lot of details to consider due to it being a 20 year marriage with a minor child and a business. I found her to be both extremely personable and highly professional with a significant amount of related experience. She was able to clearly and concisely cover the legal aspects but also pointed out some very important personal considerations I would not have thought about. When going through a divorce I feel it is very important to receive solid legal advice from a highly experienced professional but at the same time have this discussed in a friendly and comfortable manner. Ms Hoddy was amazing at how easily she did both. I was highly impressed and would quickly refer her to anyone that could use her services.

I was referred to Lori by another attorney who stated that Lori is the right attorney for my case. My case was regarding alimony for a CA considered long term marriage that I failed to obtain any relief in past court appearances. At our first consultation, Lori was very realistic and explained to me possible outcomes, obviously not miracles. I really was impressed with her professionalism and straight forward opinion based on her experience. After her putting the case together, my long awaited court day finally came, and Lori presented the case. in my view the case totally went in my favor with a court decision that was fair with an end date for my alimony support. (Woohoo!) Lori is a "top notch" lawyer, specifically as she represented me in my alimony case, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone who may have a family legal case. Thank you Lori !

Antony has represented me for the past two years in several matters including: employment matters, regaining my license after losing my license from too many tickets and he was able to get my full (non-restricted) driving privileges back. I was told it was impossible by everyone, but he found a way to get me an emergency meeting and we wrote out a declaration and went fully prepared and the DMV liaison was impressed that he gave me my full unrestricted driving privileges back! He went above and beyond and helped me lock in an interview at my dream job which ended up hiring me. He has taken on several roles and not the typical attorney I have dealt with in the past. I also referred an acquaintance I knew for a 2nd DUI and he explained everything to her in detail every step of the way and took all the stress off her back. Antony has become invaluable to me. His specialized area of practice is employment and civil matters and he is extremely down-to-earth and a natural at what he does. I did not feel pressured during the process and he always made me feel that everything would be okay. And he was right. He will be my attorney for life.

He went above and beyond, drafting me written correspondence for my communication with my landlord, and explained the applicable law to further my knowledge about the issue, making my points of communication with my landlord streamlined and compelling. He made himself available for advice whenever I needed him while being approachable and understanding.

Throughout the course of his representation, Brett clearly communicated where things stood, and what the options were.

I never needed a lawyer until I was rear ended and it was so clear cut who was at fault I thought I was able to handle it myself but after about a year I decided it was too much stress work and hassle so I shopped around and I was looking for the lowest price attorney which I think was Brett and I'm glad I found him so down to earth humble and a great office environment because it's just basically him and the secretary you will deal with which is very comforting well he handled everything made all the Timely calls and appointments even offering us rides when we needed it. He's such a nice guy but knows the law even the other side likes him. Lots of experience I would use him again and recommend him highly. He's the type of lawyer that you would want to be friends with afterwards. We ended up settling in mediation so I didn't get a chance to see him go to trial which would be a good idea to do if you can before you hire him. Has a very nice office location that's very reassuring and in a nice location. Be sure to go to Pho Xpress right around the corner for a good meal at a reasonable price. So if you ever need a lawyer don't handle it yourself it's a waste of time and one more thing about Brett is you get the feeling he is not a crooked lawyer which is a plus when you are in the right! And the top it all off and I'm not implying it may happen to you but maybe because I was such a good client and we did a lot of the paperwork to a degree he even gave me a percentage of his settlement probably because of the pain and suffering I had to go through and how tight the other side was which was Allstate Insurance. Another reason I was blessed to find him by happenstance was because I was looking for a lawyer who was near me and he was also he always return phone calls right away and emails and he communicated very thoroughly and patiently from the beginning to the end not like some lawyers who are so friendly in the beginning to get you to sign with them but then afterwards they are more colder but not Brett he was very professional and kind to the end. San Diego is blessed to have him living here helping us get a fair trial, Justice and compensation for our pain and suffering. And if I was to share some advice I would say don't use your own credit cards on different doctors like I did searching all over for a cure because the other side will not settle soon enough and you have so many fees and interest that my credit is ruined. I I would recommend just send one group of doctors and just have one bill and that based on contingency of a settlement that would have resulted in so much less stress and problems in my life. There is a really nice place in Hillcrest call fix body group and they handle everything there I went there and should have stayed there to my healing was complete which it never was but then again I had to do a bunch of injections and Kaiser really did me right but they couldn't feel the pain short of major surgery to replace my neck bones with screws and pieces of metal. But now I heard they have new treatment where they will take a cadavers bone and if it's a match can fix your neck which I may still do in the future. Anyways don't drink and drive or get distracted by the radio your cell phone or any other sightseeing please just look ahead all the time and do not tailgate and be prepared for for a car to stop at anytime even on the freeway in the middle of the day in perfect weather. There's no need to speed or tailgate if you do you risk much pain and suffering for yourself or others and in the end it only saves you a few minutes better to be safe than sorry and an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. You will get there when you get there life is too short to have to go through it with pain for the rest of your life!

I have been working the phone the past few days in a attempt to get legal advise and hire a lawyer. The last several offices I called either did not answer their calls or had a receptionist take a message only to never hear from them again. The one or two who did answer my call either had no interest or did not practice in the area I required. Neither offered any advise or a referral. Then I got lucky and gave Brett Peterson a call. Brett did not practice in the area I needed however he spent the last 15 minutes, giving me referrals and advice on how to proceed forward. I appreciate and value Bretts honesty and advise. I will absolutely keep him in mind should I have a need in the future! Thank you Brett!

Attorney Stormoen is one of the smartest attorneys I know. I have watched him spot issues and solve major problems instantaneously. It's amazing and the one thing you want when it comes to dealing with legal transactions. The other thing about Attorney Stormoen is he is literally mesmerizing at trial. He is so articulate when he explains the law yet so passionate when he draws out the facts to bring some emotion into the case for the jury. I have watched the jury glued to his openings, closings, direct and cross exams at trial. They are paying attention to his every word and because of that, he is very very successful litigator. You cannot go wrong with Attorney Stormoen!

We hired Ron Stormoen to help in a lawsuit in which my previous employers of 30 years were essentially trying to seize our retirement by reneging on the ownership they promised us early in the relationship. It was extremely important to us to receive justice and this money we had earned over our careers. Ron had faith in us and took our case. He smartly and successfully litigated our case and the jury found 12-0 verdicts in our favor on almost all questions. We won both the breach of contract cause of action as well as the intentional misrepresentation fraud case. I wish this had never turned into a lawsuit, but in the end I was extremely satisfied with the results. In addition, all throughout the case, Ron showed integrity and a commitment to the truth – he never was deceitful and played by the rules. While it is extremely satisfying to win, it is even better to do so without compromising ones’ ethics. I would hire Ron again (although I hope I never have to.) Good luck in your pursuit for justice!

I was facing serious federal charges and was my first time being in any kind of trouble with the law. I was introduced to Mr. Spears through a retainer with Seyb Law Group in Tustin, CA. He was able to work with the U.S. Attorney on a plea agreement. I was facing 7 years, but Mr. Spears got the most serious charges dropped and I was only facing a possession-only charge. I ended up getting 24 months, but without Mr. Spears' help, it could have been much, much worse. Thank you, Mr. Spears and Kathleen for everything.

James helped me through a tough situation and I was a nervous wreck and he walked me through it step by step and made it all go away!!! I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend him if you are in a tough spot. He cares about helping others and has the best staff.

Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Hairgrove over a phone consultation about a problem concerning my son. Many attorneys come off as being pretentious and impersonable, acting as if they're doing you a favor and making it obvious that their payday is most important. How refreshing it was to speak Mr Hairgrove. I spoke with him for approximately 30 minutes and not once did I feel hurried. Mr Hairgrove never spoke about retaining his services or related costs. He just talked to me about the issue and offered good sound advice. I was the one who offered to pay his fees for a conference call representation in which he could have easily accepted and made some easy cash. Instead, he told me that he would make himself available if needed but offered me enough sound advice that would help me settle the matter without an attorney. I worked for over 30 years in Law Enforcement and met some good attorneys but many that I didn't care for because of lack of ethics and integrity. Mr. Hairgrove seems like one of good lawyers that still believes in integrity over profits. I would not hesitate to retain his service if needed! Thank you again!

Mr. Hairgrove has been vey helpful and caring to me and my family. Hes worked on a DUI case and a misdemeanor case for me. He knows I use to struggle with alcoholism , but he was so helpful and even spent time talking and reassuring my grandmother at the courthouse. Both cases had good results. I would highly recommend Mr. Hairgrove to anyone looking for a good, caring lawyer.

I cannot recommend Allenby Law enough for their outstanding work on my estate planning. Attorney Dawn Allenby and her assistant Naomi Arana demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They guided me through creating my revocable living trust, Will, health directive, and power of attorney with patience and clarity, ensuring every aspect was addressed thoroughly. They took special care to include all my properties, such as my townhouse in San Diego and my home in Oklahoma, in my estate planning portfolio. Their meticulous efforts have given me a comprehensive and well-organized plan, providing the peace of mind I need. I now feel confident that when the time comes, my family will know exactly what steps to take without facing any unnecessary financial burdens. Dawn and Naomi’s dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients’ needs truly set them apart. If you’re seeking top-notch legal assistance for your estate planning, look no further than Allenby Law. I am so grateful for their excellent service!

Dawn provided a clear roadmap, setting expectations at each step, making everything easy. She also focuses on a plan for the long term, ensuring everything stays up-to-date and well-managed well into the future. Professional, attentive, and detail-oriented – a pleasure to work with!

When searching for a trust attorney I came across Maya Pinchman at Ratners & Pinchman.  What an amazing experience after an arduous search for a trust attorney! She gave me all the time on the phone to hear my case and offered great options without an initial hourly fee.  I knew I had found the right person to help me with setting up my trust.  She offered excellent solutions for my situation and was great with the execution of my trust.  Maya is kind, understanding and professional.  She has always been available to promptly answer my questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone that would like to acquire an honest and competent attorney.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michael Jenkins for family trust set up. From the very start, he was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions with patience and clarity. Michael has a gift for making the legal process feel straightforward and manageable, and his advice has always been thoughtful and spot-on. The pricing is transparent and fair, which made us feel at ease knowing there wouldn’t be any unexpected costs. Some of the best parts of working with him are the speedy updates and unlimited questions allowed (which are all included in the price!) — most times we’d hear back within a day, keeping us well-informed at every step. The price also includes switching your home to the Trust name and in-home notarization which can add up to $800. Plus, everything can be done remotely via Zoom, which was a huge convenience for us. Overall, Michael’s service was outstanding, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and truly caring attorney!

Michael Jenkins recently helped us update our family trust, and it has been a true pleasure working with him and his team. The whole process from start to finish has been made clear and as simplified as possible. We had many questions and ideas he worked through with us, making iterations several times as he offered us ideas and options to accomplish what we wanted. We especially appreciated their process using recordings and highlighted document changes with detailed explanations, that we could review on our own time. We highly recommend Jenkins & Jenkins.

I can tell you that the positive reviews for this firm are merited! I had an important question regarding probate law. I contacted my previous family law attorney, explained my situation and subsequent question to her assistant, and waited all day for a response. Her assistant called me back late afternoon with no answer to my question and the suggestion that I reach out to her partner who specializes in probate law. I was then told I’d have to wait three weeks for a zoom call to ask her partner my question. I googled highly rated probate attorneys and stumbled upon Jenkins and Jenkins. I called, explained my question to the assistant and was put through to a cheerful Caroline Jenkins. She listened to my concern and answered my question, which enabled me to make the right decision to drop further pursuit. She also gave me a referral in case I wanted to go forward through legal channels. Caroline, you are my hero. Admittedly, people make jokes about lawyers because many of them are just out to make a buck and will tell you the things you want to hear. When you find a lawyer like Caroline, hold on tight and save yourself from misery and financial loss. Thank you again, Caroline!!!

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:
