Andrew has been an invaluable asset to me, offering reliable guidance from minor to major legal concerns. Recently, he meticulously reviewed my LLC documents, provided insightful feedback on contracts, and researched the necessary insurance for my small business. His swift responses and keen attention to detail make him stand out. Regardless of the size or complexity of the issue, I know I can trust him to deliver exceptional service. He remains my top choice for all legal matters. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

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.

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 consider myself lucky for having a defense attorney refer me to Noam Glick. Noam is a plaintiff attorney and he absolutely looked out for me. I was always able to hear it in his tone how he was working on trying to solve my case. When I first was in touch with Noam, he took over one hour on the phone asking me questions to see how he can help me. His patience in helping me out on a case that was a challenge from the start shows his determination. I was always able to speak, email and even text with him directly. It was nice to have an attorney tell me how it is, what to expect and always having a plan on what can be done throughout the process. It was a great experience to have such a top notch and straight-forward attorney representing me and being very realistic. No joke but he is a needle in a haystack. Regardless if he had not won my case, I would have highly recommended him. This review was written without Noam nor his staff requesting I write a review. I cannot compare other attorneys but from stories I have heard, I'm very lucky. Not once did I have to go through anyone to communicate with Noam...within minutes to a maximum of two hours, I always heard back from him. The only exception when I did hear from legal attorney assistant is where I wanted to have my check sent to. I appreciate everything Noam has done for me and he will always be my point of contact should I come across someone that needs him. Thank you!

I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for all that Alexandra and her team have done to help me work through a difficult tax situation. After years of sleepless nights trying and failing to resolve my tax concerns on my own, Alexandra was recommended to me by a local accountant. We had a handful of in-person meetings to bring her and her team up to speed on my situation, and within a short period things started to fall into place. Like most tax matters, this did take a fair bit of time to fully work through (around a year), but Alexandra and her team where there for me every step of the way, ensuring I understood the entire process, and in the end I saved a huge amount of time, money and grief.

Shawn and Kelly took a proactive and professional approach and initially created a very detailed demand letter citing various legal precedence and legal remedies to attempt to find an out of court settlement. Coupled with claims with the California Contractors State License Board and the contractor’s Bond company, we were not only successful achieving a fair settlement, but I also covered my legal costs and all of the costs to repair my home. There were even enough monies left over to take my wife out for dinner after a year of feeling helpless against a dishonest company. I would also like to disclose that I previously had a disagreement with a tenant who also used Huston/McCaffrey to represent them. I am pleased to say that that tenant and I were able to find a solution. I felt that Kelly and Shawn represented my tenant so well, that if they were good enough for my tenant they were good enough for me. If you can’t beat them, join them. And that’s what I did. Through Huston/McCaffrey I achieved more than I thought would be possible. I highly recommend the services of Huston/McCaffrey, LLP. Thank you Shawn and Kelly. Sincerely, David

As an HOA manager, I have worked with Christina on a defect litigation case for one of my associations.

Both my Board and I were very pleased with her thoroughness and how well she represented the Association.

It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Christina Ciceron, who I have been fortunate enough to work closely with for a number of years. Ms. Ciceron is a great leader and a strong advocate for her clients. She treats everyone with the utmost respect and professionalism due to her great work ethic and dedication. Ms. Ciceron will always meet, if not exceed, the expectations of her clients. She has a strong personal investment in her work product as well as building long lasting relationships with her clients and colleagues. I would recommend Christina Ciceron to any potential client seeking legal counsel.

Daphne was an absolute god send! Through my first consultation Daphne equipped me with the proper language to be used with my employer to ensure i was claiming my rights as an employee. She also had my back when I wasn't given a fair deal during my employment separation. Trust me you don't want to navigate these legal matters on your own. You need Daphne on your side!

I contacted Daphne though her website and completed an intake form, heard back the same week with follow up questions. I was asked to email over any documentation, I sent e-mails and screenshots from my employer. Daphne & her team quickly got back to me with guidance that truly saved me! 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.

She’s been great and helped me process through my maternity leave! I had a question about how long I can take and her guide on maternity leave provided clarity! 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.

All I had to do was get every piece of information from my part and he took care of the rest. My experience with John was great and I would recommend him to ANYONE. I actually lagged with my information, it took me a while to get my stuff together but he was still very patient and understanding. Thank you for all your help, John!

I was 4 months pregnant when me and my husband got into a car accident, I was so afraid of losing my baby but I was so blessed that we didn’t. My car got totaled and I was advised to get a lawyer to help me with how to pay my ambulance bill and all other expenses that came with the car accident. One of my good friends recomendad Stewart to represent us, from day one he took care of absolutely everything he helped us with the process of getting my car taken care off to the ambulance bill. He made sure we got the maximum compensation from the insurance company and that helped us a lot. I will highly recommend Stewart to anyone that is involved in a car accident he will go above and beyond to take care of your needs.

Where to start, Attorney Stewart was incredible and that's an understatement. Let me begin with attorney Stewart is a caring, compassionate, and helpful attorney. Attorney Stewart is on top of the game from keeping you updated on your case to walking you step by step on what is going to happen in your case. My case took a little over a year and let me say that I felt completely up to date throughout my case whether attorney Stewart emailed or call. I was never in the dark on my case always knew what was going on. Also, attorney Stewart's office staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly, always attentive to one's needs. On top of this, attorney Stewart treats you like family, he doesn't see you as just another client. He truly cares for you and his top priority is to get you better and some extra cash along the way. 10/10 would recommend attorney Stewart to anyone in a heartbeat. Once again, thank you, attorney Stewart. Deban

He took the time to educate me on parts of the agreement I didn't understand, as well as share his expertise as an entertainment attorney. I especially appreciated how Mr. Witkin was able to work quickly, as I was on a tight timeline and needed to sign document as soon as possible.

Teo was referred to me from a colleague, and they mentioned how successful she was with complicated immigration cases. As my previous employer's law firm was unsuccessful in their prepared petition, I was looking for a strong immigration lawyer on my own. Teo lived up to her reputation and helped me navigate the complex forms and processes. She presented a case that was successful in me obtaining a National Interest Waiver. Teo's experience allowed her to strategize and truly partner with me to prove my skills as a technical professional. She was supportive through this stressful time and I highly recommend her for immigration cases.

George represented me in a personal injury case (ped. vs auto). Contacting a lawyer and beginning legal proceedings can be a very stressful, overwhelming, and emotionally draining process. I can summarize my experience by saying this: George knows what he is doing. He knows his field and he has his clients best interests at heart. If you are considering hiring a personal injury attorney, I would highly recommend George Kindley and his team. They are professional, thorough, and you can rest assured that you are receiving top notch legal representation. Thank you Kindley & Associates!

George Kindley represented our family in a case of Elder Abuse which resulted in the loss of a family member. The facts were clearly in our favor yet the opposing entities continually put up roadblocks to demoralize us and try to "discourage" George. Not once in this almost four year battle did George give any indication of giving up or wanting to "throw in the towel" just to get it over with. We were constantly amazed at his tenacity, his knowledge of the law, and his courage to stand up to hostile opposition. The long hours of preparation: airline flights far from home and family for depositions and hearings; the seemingly never ending rescheduling of court dates. We saw George go through this and more which often left us wondering, "How does he do it?" His office kept us informed of our progress every step of the way, and were always there for a phone call or Email. Even if it was just to ask "How are you doing?" I believe our case meant a lot to George. The outcome was more than we could have imagined. We are forever grateful to Mr. Kindley.

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. Thank you Mr. Sibley!!!!!!!!!!!!

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:

    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.

  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.

    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.

    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.

    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.

    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.

    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.

    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.

      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
