The Zalkin team changed my life, and they feel like family to me. They expertly navigated the rough waters of a difficult and lengthy lawsuit -- all the way up through trial preparations -- and negotiated an out-of-court settlement to the satisfaction of both parties. They brilliantly researched and applied a little-known clause in the Servicemember Civil Relief Act to my case, which was unprecedented, significantly extending the statute of limitations and allowing my lawsuit to continue. Other military members then derived benefit from this clause in their cases, from what I understand.
Their team -- I primarily worked with Ryan, Devin, Lisa, and Irwin -- is spectacular. Their compassion, empathy, and professionalism substantially comforted me through arduous and punishing depositions and negotiations. I knew at each step in the process that Irwin and team had my back, had the plan, and had utmost confidence in their strategy. So did I.

The Zalkin Law Firm is an incredible group of people who are not only skilled as attorneys but are passionate advocates for their clients as well. They take their time to educate their clients, and are patient with questions, needs, and the unavoidable emotion that comes up in the process of seeking justice. The entire team is invested. They make their clients feel less alone, and do everything they can to empower them. The firm's commitment to my case, and to me as a person, changed the trajectory of my healing and ultimately, my life. For the first time in my trauma story, I felt seen, heard, known, valued, and encouraged that action was being taken and that I was worth the fight. In the course of my relationship with the Zalkin Law Firm, I learned to stop asking for heroes and start asking for a sword. They handed it to me every time - with enthusiasm, passion, and support. Two years later, I consider this group of people as some of the most important helpers in my story and will forever be in gratitude for their role in my life. If you are seeking representation, you will be safe with the Zalkin Law Firm.

I am deeply disappointed with the services provided by Hoffman & Forde in San Diego. Despite scheduling an appointment, NICK KRITIKOS was rude, never called me, and seemed disinterested in my case. To make matters worse, I was charged $485 for absolutely no communication or progress. I never spoke to anyone on the phone and they still charged me. Taking time off work for the appointment only added to the frustration. I strongly advise against using this firm.

Attorney George Gedulin and his staff are excellent! The initial phone call with Mr. Gedulin made me feel at ease knowing my issue was going to get resolved.

Wrongly accused, bailed out on a Saturday, called a few attorneys going down a randomn list, ONLY GEORGE GEDULIN answered. He took care of me personally, and his firm has always upheld my best interest. I am genuinely so grateful and amazed how they handle my matters so efficiently and diligently for the most favorable outcomes possible. And they are very straight forward and have the utmost integrity. A phone call could change your life...

I want to thank Chris and his team for representing me through a high conflict divorce. Chris is a brilliant attorney who treats his clients as if they were his own family. He is very dedicated in ensuring that his clients are always his priority. He represented me with full dedication and always made me his priority. I went through 3 attorneys until I found the right one, and it was definitely Chris who made a huge impact in my life. I highly recommend anyone going through a high conflict divorce to reach out to Chris for representation. You will always be taken care of and made a priority when represented by Chris and his firm. He always fought for me with everything he has. I don't know what I would have done if Chris wasn't the one representing me in court. Thank you Chris for all you did for me this past year and I am forever grateful for you and your amazing staff.

I was so stressful when I received the letter from BRN for accusations that I didn’t do. I was 8 months pregnant and didn’t know what to do. After researching and spoke to several defense attorneys, I found Ms. Irmer office. Kimberly was so knowledgeable and so friendly. She explained to me the process, and they can help me to get reimbursed from NSO. I was so grateful for their service. It was almost a year and I received a letter that BRN closed my case without any further action. It was stopped at investigation only. I am appreciative and grateful. The service is worth it especially when your livelihood is at stake. I would highly recommend them for anyone I know that needs help.

I hired Nicole after a criminal charge mishap while I was in nursing school and months away from licensing. She was able to provide excellent recommendations for both my criminal case as well as how to move forward with obtaining my license. She provided professional letters in both circumstances to help my criminal case as well as obtain my RN license. Due to her excellent work I obtained my license on schedule with others who applied at the same time and without restrictions or probation. She also helped ease my anxiety through the entire process. I would recommend her to any colleague facing licensing trouble.

Mi familia y yo no podemos estar mas que agradecidos con la abogada Yunuen Mora y su equipo. Nuestro proceso fue un poco largo devido a varios obstaculos (incluyendo Covid) con la recidencia (y despues la ciudadania) de mi hijastro pero en todo momento estuvo al pendiente y en comunicacion directa con nosotros. Su profecionalismo en mi opinion es lo que la distigue. Una muy buena decicion aver trabajado con ella. 100% recomendada para sus tramites de inmigracion.

Yunuen Mora is the best immigration lawyer our family has had the pleasure of working with. From our first meeting, Yunuen explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Yunuen made sure to set realistic expectations on my case, made sure I understood what documents I needed to provide and their staff sent me monthly updates on my case to ease my mind. I am beyond grateful to have found Yunuen to represent us. If you are looking for legal help with your immigration case, call Yunuen Mora!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional legal support provided by Matt Mesnik. From the moment I walked into his office, I was met with patience, professionalism, insight, and compassion. Matt's personable demeanor immediately put me at ease during what was undoubtedly one of the most difficult periods of my life.
What truly sets Matt apart is his ability to see through the noise and get to the heart of the matter. He doesn't shy away from being assertive when necessary, yet he approaches every situation with a level of calmness and compassion that is truly admirable. His dedication to his clients is unwavering; he goes above and beyond to ensure that every avenue is explored to achieve the best possible outcome.
Matt is not just a lawyer; he is a friend and advocate. He takes the time to listen attentively, understand the nuances of each case, and tailor his approach accordingly. His commitment to winning for his clients is palpable, and his determination is contagious.
Having Matt in my corner during this challenging time has been an invaluable asset. I can wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a family law attorney who is not only skilled and competent but also genuinely cares about his clients.

While going through one of the hardest times you will ever go through as a parent, Joe and Sara are the ones you want on your side! Everyone in the office, from the secretary, to the attorneys and everyone in between and above are the most kind and compassionate professionals I've ever worked with. Always a clear line of communication and mutual respect shown.

I was referred to attorney Rick by a good friend of mine, and couldn’t be happier with my decision to retain his services. He’s diligent and professional while still caring and responsive. He reassured me that he was going to take care of all court hearings, and kept me informed throughout. Any time I had a question or needed clarification he responded immediately, text or email, and always kept me updated. Attorney Rick doesn’t beat around the bush. He’s transparent, does honest work, and will get you the best possible outcome.

I received a DUI here in San Diego while working here, I'm from San Francisco. I researched Attorneys and something lead me to Rick Mueller. I sent Rick an email and Rick responded right a way and started sending me information and thing to do to get a head of the game before I even hired him. Right a way I hired Rick and he has got me ahead of the game that the courts and DMV will be requiring me to do before my hearings. Thank you Rick!

Russell Babcock and Logan Noblin
What can I say about Russell and Logan, along with Anna Yum and the rest of the incredible team....they saved my life and got me back home to my family!
From the start Russell was very skeptical and realistic of my charges, and the likelihood that things would go my way. As our relationship grew and more details and facts about the case came out, things slowly started to change. He and Logan really started to believe in me.
As the case kept going, with the DAs reluctance to see this for what it was, Russell, Logan and Anna, continued to have the difficult talks of the realities and risks of continuing on towards trial, and not agreeing to take a plea deal for something I was innocent of. I appreciated their willingness to have the hard talks. It was an incredibly horrible position to be in, but with their belief in me, it helped me push forward. Unfortunately the DA did push things to trial.
Right from the start of trial, I couldn't help but feel confident. From Russell's unmatched experience, and his incredible mind that is always thinking of every angle and working non stop, to Logan's cool, calm presence and complete control of the courtroom. They were the perfect team! They bounced questions and ideas off each other the entire trial. Their preparation showed every step of the way. They were always courteous to the judge, related things to jurors, had great questioning of the witnesses, and came out on top with every exchange with the DA.
Results were unanimous not guilty verdict within one hour of deliberations!
Russell and Logan were total rock stars from start to finish. Anna Yum was amazing and knew exactly the right pair to assign to take on my case. 5 stars in every way!!
I would not only refer them to any one I know that finds themselves needing a defense lawyer, but I would not let them go with anyone else!
Thank you Anna, Russell, Logan, Jorge, and every one else that helped on my case, and is a part of this amazing law firm!!

Lauren just assisted me with a case. I'm from out of state (Iowa), and Lauren handled everything for me and I was able to get the issue settled with Lauren's assistance over the phone and via email. Great job Lauren!!! Nothing personal Lauren, but I hope I never need you again. LOL. But if I ever do need any legal assistance again, you can bet that I will come back to The Anna Yum law firm looking for Lauren.

My husband and I called the law offices of David Chesney at his first court date they were super kind over the phone explained everything to us took our payment over the phone partial and let us make payments as the case was going forward any questions that we had we were answered promptly. They even called us and did a follow-up a few months later to see how we were doing. I hope I don't ever have to use them again, but if for some reason we do definitely will. will also recommend them to family and friends if needed

The lawyers at this office have a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case with determination. I highly recommend this law firm.

I recently worked with Joshi Law Group, a bankruptcy law firm based in San Diego, and I can honestly say that they exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I contacted them, I felt like I was in good hands with their friendly and knowledgeable team of attorneys. The process of filing for bankruptcy was surprisingly smooth and stress-free as Joshi Law Group provided me with insightful advice every step of the way. They have an excellent understanding of local laws and regulations which allowed me to make informed decisions about my financial future. Their attention to detail and dedication to client satisfaction is unmatched; I highly recommend them! Five stars!

I just got off the phone with a friend that I referred to Milie and she was so grateful that I referred her. She said that Milie was smart, personable, and efficient. She was so affordable, it was like having a friend help her instead of a lawyer. The San Diego legal scene is much better with Milie in it!

I am deeply disappointed with the services provided by Hoffman & Forde in San Diego. Despite scheduling an appointment, NICK KRITIKOS was rude, never called me, and seemed disinterested in my case. To make matters worse, I was charged $485 for absolutely no communication or progress. I never spoke to anyone on the phone and they still charged me. Taking time off work for the appointment only added to the frustration. I strongly advise against using this firm.

Very bad experience I had with these people that I would give it zero stars if I wanted to. They did not make any effort in helping me with a case but made me wait way too long, even wasting my money. I definitely would not recommend anyone to this misleading place. Also, it is very disappointing to feel betrayed by someone you trusted and thought would help you.

I am more than grateful with the outcome of my case. Upon meeting with Mr.Kersey and his team they gave me a great feeling of reassurance, trust, and belief in which played a major role in why I would definitely recommend the Kersey firm to anyone in need of legal representation. They work fast and efficiently to get you the best results possible.When your freedom is in jeopardy and your truth is being questioned having someone fight for you and win is more than an outstanding feeling which is exactly what Mr.Kersey delivered. I was wrongly accused of charges and placed under arrest and put in jail for a charge that would have violated my probation.The end results were Mr. Kersey had all the charges dropped and my probation was rightfully terminated. I send nothing but my highest regards respects and gratitude to Mr. Kersey thanks again

I googled aggressive criminal attorneys in San Diego and immediately Kersey Law came up- I read each and every 5 star review, which at the time was about 100- I wanted to read real stories, read about real results just not fluff. I was in need of a new criminal attorney who was going to be ethical and honest with me- My previous attorney literally hung me out to dry not even fighting for my innocence. Jamahl And his team took the time to know me as a person, reviewed my case with a fine tooth comb and guided me through the process . Jamahl Was direct! Transparent! And took the time to explain processes and supported me throughout this case. I was put at ease the moment I had my first phone call and immediately knew I chose the right attorney who would fight for my innocence! Much gratitude!🙏 Words can not explain how much you helped me, how much you believed in me! The outcome was phenomenal and I knew it would be with you!
