We hired Attorney Marwa Elzankaly to represent a state licensed business. The contract stated Marwa Elzankaly would assist the business in getting licensed and permitted. Attorney Marwa Elzankaly charged over 40K to do and re-do the paperwork. Was unable to argue with the state licensing Attorney who was treating us unfairly. And Attorney Marwa Elzankaly withdrew her legal representation 1 week prior to the Administrative Hearing began. We had to spend over 26K to hire a different Private Attorney. We contacted McManis & Faulkner Law firm. Mr. McManis refused a refund of the 40K.

Jack Easterbrook was the "primary attorney", representing me some years ago, as a small business owner, in a Commercial case (theft of customers by an ex-employee). Easterbrook billed me approximately $50,000+ in legal fees, though got my ex-employee to pay a settlement of $30,000. (Not worth my time and uncertainty of outcome. But, lesson learned).
But then the ex-employee filed a claim, that the $30,000 was not justified..(even though Easterbrook had purportedly won it for me in the settlement). Easterbrook advised not to worry about including a settlement of it, as part of the original aforementioned herein case. But instead to defend against it subsequently (case #2). Then as case #2 proceeded, and remembering well the time and cost of case #1, said would cost less in legal fees for case #2, than paying back the $30,000. I said if it looked like it was going to approach $30,000 in legal fees for case #2, to stop and I'd pay the $30,000 to settle. However, over the course of several months, Easterbrook utilized what I'd call a slow/flood method (monthly "slow" billings of $1K - $2K, while suggesting close to closure...then intra-month with no warning, a "flood" billing of $30K+). This resulted in another approximately $50,000 in legal fees to Easterbrook, and still my having to pay back the $30,000 to the employee.
Summary: The only winner here is Jack Easterbrook, double dipping for approximately $100,000 in legal fees. While Jack Easterbrook:
1) first took a case that he arguably should have known would cost more than could win.
2) not able to win a subsequent case, just to be able to keep for me, what he "won" in the first case.
PS
As it's been some years, Easterbrook may: a) feign not remembering my case,
b) write some generic non-response, like this is so against his core values, that it couldn't have happened.
c) Or, he'll combine a) & b), while having a paralegal post for him. Since he's unlikely to go on record, under his own. You know what that means.... he's hiding.

Jack Easterbrook and his team at Strategy Law have done a great job for us documenting complex loan transactions, including deals with unusual collateral; ESOP owned companies, as well as matters involving multiple related parties and guarantors. We count on them for high quality and timely legal work and they are able to handle it for us. Jack and his team make it a point to be extremely accessible to us which can make all of the difference in the world in successfully closing a banking transaction. We also appreciate that Jack and his team are there for us with thoughtful advice about issues that come up in the course of putting together and structuring loan proposals and various ways to interpret certain bank related legal documents.

Anthony Delas was such a horrible Attorney to deal with and here is why. Besides taking 2 years rather than 6 months to go through my bankruptcy process he always kept me in the dark of what was going on and what I should expect. He would always give me a days notice for meetings or important appointments which would get in trouble at work. His emails are very hard to understand and he would always have me resend attachments because he would "lose" them. I wouldn't recommend this attorney. He was such a headache to work with and made this process even more stressful. I honestly felt like he wasn't on my side. I was already very stressed and upset that I had to go bankrupt and he made the experience even worst.

I went to her free consultation and was blown away by all the information she gave me so I decided to hire her with no doubt that she will do a great job. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I've handed her all the related documents and summarized my case so she can be fully prepared but I was shocked how she came in without reading / learning about my case.
I was very nervous at the hearing so I listened to her advice but all she did was to take the easy way out for her, ignoring the best interest in me. It seemed like she didn't wanna put effort in protecting me or fighting for my benefit at all. Probably because she wasn't prepare at all. Even the opponent party said, " You should speak up, that's what you are here for "
She came unprepared, her legal knowledge is very limited and she made many mistakes. I was shocked when I read the legal document she created after the court. I needed to point out many of her mistakes. My case included simple calculations and she has an MBA but couldn't get the easiest math correct. I wish I never hired her.
I told my friend who's going through her divorce now that I regret hiring her then she happened to know her. She told me that Lucy's response on avvo was so fast, she was thinking of hiring her too but her emails were not responding to the questions she asked so she ended up not hiring her.
I checked her profile prior to hiring and felt I was very mislead of the " Rising star " award. I don't know how they give out awards but do NOT be mislead by that because it didn't apply in my case. The receivers is the worst performer in court.
She did such a lousy job. I never write reviews but decided to post here to save another me.

Lucy handled my family case from beginning to end, took all the pressure off me, all I had to do was answer her questions when she needed information PLUS she was always available to answer any of my questions especially during the first few days. 100% would REFER and RECOMMEND her.

Rebekah has been my attorney for 3 years. She knows what she’s doing. She knows the Judges and they respect her. We have been able to settle a few issues and she is an effective and aggressive negotiator. On the other hand, we’ve gone to court several times and she is a pro. She has great courtroom experience and awareness. She’s fun to watch. She’s been very successful when we go to court.
Rebekah’s staff is extremely helpful, especially her paralegal. Very knowledgeable and responsive. I highly recommend Rebekah and her team.

I hired Rebekah Frye (and I guess by proxy, her staff). Billing statements not clear and billing hours seemed generous if not inaccurate. I approached Frye about the bills but my concerns were never addressed. The pros of Frye: she knows the judges. The cons: very expensive.

Not so great. Everyone got riled up, whick he did on purpose, and that went poorly in court. We ran around preparing for an eminent trial that never happened and the preparation was exceedingly expensive.
A new attorney sorted things out right away, and knew what to do
in court and how to negotiate successfully beforehand.

Just too many instances to mention with this 4k character limit, but I will squeeze in as much as possible. In 2002 I found myself in heartbreak hell. My girlfriend at the time decided after a ten year relationship and a beautiful 2 year old daughter that she wanted to call it quits.. She knew she had the control box to my heartstrings (my baby girl). So of course she ran with it. My daughter brought to me unconditional love. Now her mother was trying to prevent me to embrace it. So naturally, family courthouse found its next victims. Things were not going as well for her as she planned so she upped the anni a bit and decided to cut her arm and say I did it even though I was 25 miles away from her in a completely different city. The facts didn't seem to matter at that point because she had rallied up the officers so much that I was going to jail regardless of the facts. Next thing I know I am in jail with a false DV charge. So that sets the stage, along with, supervised visits, my 2 year old daughter was now living in a 1 bdrm apt with mom and new boyfriend illegally, unlawfully calling my probation officer and councilors telling them lies such as I'm stalking her and she is afraid for there lives so the police come and arrest me. This happened on 5 different occasions, including one time while I was at work, another was on my daughters b-day and while the guests were arriving I was handcuffed on my way downtown, and when my mother came to visit from out of state. She would also have my daughter call me at work at 7am crying with the words "I miss you daddy" then ripping the phone away from her saying "ok we got to go" all I hear is my daughter crying before hanging up. The pain was unbearable. Thats about the time Mr Tillman came into my life. I was wounded so bad there were times I could not talk. Seriously couldn't think right. I was at the lowest point possible. I was so bad that often times when I tried to speak my point I would reach mid sentence and completely lose focus and forget what I was actually talking about.. Pat would get upset with me asking if I was on drugs, and if I was, he wasn't going to represent me because he himself didn't want me raising my daughter if I was high. Thats when I knew Pat was a stand up righteous man and didn't tolerate any bullshit. So shortly after hiring Pat things started looking up. By him sorting through all facts and docs he quickly seen how the ex was manipulating the system, and doing a hell of a good job at it.
What happens next is why I consider Pat my real life super hero and why I will forever be indebted to him. I didn't realize it at the time, but as he was gaining me credibility in the eyes of the court by strategically bringing the truth to light. He was also molding me bringing me back to life. Chopping up all the lies and false accusations fully discrediting the ex and all the garbage that came out of her mouth. He subpoenaed the councilors that were over stepping there boundaries by making recommendations to judges based on unethical non permitted phone conversations and strictly prohibited meetings with the ex. One councilor in particular at "new Beginnings" met personally with her twice and one 45 min phone conversation. The councilor "Sally Dandenberg" new this was unacceptable business practice and arrogantly denied the accusations. Then to everyones amazement Pat produced the original recommendation note Sally had given to the judge and so arrogantly denied ever existed. The news of our victory and Sally's pathetic pity tears quickly reached my probation officer. Fearful of receiving one of Pat's anti corruption subpoena slaps, my probation officer had signed off on my remaining 3 years probation term, for he knew he was guilty for punishing me based on the ex's false accusations.

He is the best, best, BEST!!!
You can forget about the typical stereotype everyone has of lawyers as Michael is the living exception of what we all think of when we hear the word attorney.

He is my go to attorney and I highly recommend Michael!
His office staff is a perfect continuity of who he is and what he represents: justice and value!
Thank you Michael for making a difference daily!

Michael is a horrible lawyer to handle the case, He is very aggressive and make you fight hard so that he made the easy case more complicated. It does not help solve the problem but add more complication. Ending up to let you pay more to him and take more longer time to settle. He has no ethic to help people. Not recommend him!!

Michael Chinh VU.S.A Law Offices is a knowledgeable lawyer who is very expert in his field. He has been helping me out with my divorce and custody case. He knows the family law so well, given 20 plus years experience, you will not be disappointed if you hire him to represents you. Again, my case isn't over and I am still working with him. He is an excellent lawyer who knows how to deal with any family law related issues if you looking fair and peace full for husband and wife can be a best friend after divorce and responsibility custody takes care of your Childs. Big thanks to Michael Chinh Vu. I found him through referral. I heard that he beat one of the most famous divorce lawyers in Asian community. However, Michael Chinh Vu take time and mannerly listening figured that I was going through difficult time divorce case going to default by spouse. He always came down patient stand with you in a tricky world with off side lawyer; it's very difficult to find a good, ethical and nice lawyer like Vu. (I recommendation if you are Vietnamese not sure the rights Lawyer trust please come and see Lawyer: Michael Chinh Vu)

Travis took my complicated divorce case and fought diligently for a ruling that favored my side. I am an executive high income earner with four children and a wife who was from Asia. Additionally, I had a C Corp and several rental properties which added to the complexity. After nearly two years, forensic accountants, etc., it was completed. I’m happy with the turn out. Thank you Travis!

AVOID AVOID AVOID. If you are looking to waste your money without any results then Travis Whitfield is for you.
I have been dealing with my divorce, child custody, and child support issues for over a year now. Travis and his team got involved and screwed that all up. Everything has been delayed due to him fumbling with the case. He paid little to no attention to the case and passed it along to multiple associates and paralegals to WASTE your money.
Throughout my case, most of the time when they sent over documents for me to review and sign, I always had them correct one thing or another, they were hardly ever accurate. Yet, they still billed me to correct THEIR mistakes. There is a long laundry list with this law firm.
If I can help at least 1 person avoid this law firm; I have done my job. You don't want to add to your problems during your hard times looking for a capable lawyer. Don't waste your time and money with this law firm.

I got a recommendation to check this lawyer for my divorce by a friend I say whose judgment I could trust. He asked what I wanted.
I said I want to make it as amicable as possible, I want what is fair, I want my peace, my freedom and most of all I want my kids to go through this as smoothly as possible. As long as I have my health, peace of mind, stable job and an option for my children to go to (their mom as I have learned exhibit strong narcisisstic traits which finally explained everything that troubled me all those years). His other question relevant : Do you think your wife is going to make this very difficult for you? My response was " Absolutely 100% she did not have to make threats that she is going to make it like hell for me, I knew"
He convinced me with these words:
I will fight for what is right for you and her
I do not tolerate using the children as leverage
I am not one who try to squeeze the other party unfairly
We move with the children welfare always the priority.
I said I am in. This was me filing for a divorce I tried all I can to work out for 20 years only to realize 18 years that nothing will ever change.
The promises not one of it were ever even came close to even get a jumpstart.
the best words he made were after the first court day in which I was shell shocked he did not do or say anything to advance or make known our contentions. The very first court day a few minutes before we even were called in to the courtroom I knew then that I made a very big mistake. As we were preparing all that I would say what about my, what about the, and what not. His one and best answer amongst was maybe we can add that in the next court day this is just the start!
When the proposals came and I so much had disagreement to some claims that were so absurd as we went along each proposal. Some I had no idea whatsoever how to proceed I asked what can you say, what legal advice can you give me. The best answer he has made was " well I do not know you are the one who has to decide what you want to do with it I am just putting note to make sure that we represent exactly what you want and how you wanted. One other answer he made was I do not deal with those financial stuff. It is not my line of specialty. So I asked maybe he can give me recommendations who to contact after all he has more than 2 decades at least of doing his job. But no he referred me to his secretary. First secretary left a few months after . I have a pending heart surgery. My job security is non existent, there is an active deliberate operation to try to get rid of me. My lawyer knew this so I am lagging with my payment of his services which is just about the only thing they are good in communicating with me. Now he is asking to be relieved from being his representative due to an irreparable relationship and an outstanding service fee. There never was an representation nor there ever was a relationship. I know nothing about law but I have common sense and I am in customer service. I am actively looking for a new lawyer that can simply just represent me for what is legally fair for me, the wife and the kids.
I did not know I hired a paralegal.

Dennis represented me for my son's custody and he did the best for us. Because of him I got my son's custody. Also he didn't charge me for all the hours he was in the court. So far he is the best attorney I ever found.

I have hired Dennis for several years now (off and on) with an exhusband who is a prick. Dennis listened to my questions and concerns. He gave me honest (sometimes things we don't want to hear) answers and solutions to my problems. He was upfront about costs and told me what to do to cut them. Felicia had to show up at one of the court motions for Dennis and she did an excellent job - considering I had never spoken with her prior to seeing her in court. I was impressed with her. As far as their paralegal she is wonderful. Again, she listened to me and gave me honest, upfront answers. They always did what I wanted to do. I have recommended numerous friends and all have been happy. Other reviewers complain about the cost, however, I have found that they are all about the same. So for me, I want MY attorney to be able to stand up to my prick of an exhusband, not cower to him and help him out ---as my prior attorney did.

He took an incorporation case but he was not knowlegeable in this industry as he mentioned that he is knowlegeable and he charged every thing as you can think of, even an email for making an appt. After the meeting, 3 weeks has been passed but he has not done any work because he was working on bigger (more money) case but he would charged me for that research this research. No work was done. Eventually, i have to find other lawyer.

The whole thing was started from the written review that I wrote on an outfit that offers the government-grant training program. The outfit considered the review I wrote as defamation on their program. They had a well-known big law firm to take me to court and accuse me of slandering. A friend of mine who worked with Mr. Chun more than ten years ago recommended me to have Mr. Chun as my defense attorney. I am glad that I did that.
Mr. Chun has worked diligently with me to go through every detail of the background of my written review on the outfit. Mr. Chun represented me and won the case swiftly in the court. The court also ordered the outfit to pay the damages that they have caused to me because of the lawsuit they have launched.
Again, I am glad to have Mr. Chun as my defense attorney. He is intelligent, diligent and most importantly, he has a strong legal sense to put the case in the right direction at the very beginning. He is “David” in the Bible story “David and Goliath” and he can put any well-known big law firm to shame if you give him the opportunity. I highly recommend Mr. Chun without any reservation.

Apparently I spoke too soon. Janet made me believe that my case had merit. After being schooled in court on the laws by the mothers counsel and the judge.

I retained Janet after a bitter 5 year child custody battle. After expending thousands of dollars on other attorneys and basically getting no where I truly felt that the courts and the legal system let me and my son down. Janet Syphers is a no nonsenses professional that did not, and has not led me to believe that what I felt was not only fair to me and my son, but also realistic in the eyes of the courts.

Great attorney with more than 40 years of experience. His mind is like a steel trap - he remembers every detail and brings them up when it matters. He knows EVERYONE in Santa Clara as he's practiced law here for 40+ years. He's not in this for the money, he does this for love of the Law and to help people. However his office is old fashioned - doesn't use the latest technology and it's difficult to get an appointment on his calendar or to reach him as he is in Court or negotiations from morning til night. He got me positive results - which is probably what matters the most.

I am very satisfied with Walter and his associates. I worked with Walter for many years as he was representing my custody case. Walter was very helpful in every aspect. He was very knowledgeable, quick to respond, and helpful in answering any questions I had regarding my complicated custody case. The entire staff is very easy to work with and they always got back to me very promptly. With the help from Walter and his team I was able to get exactly what I was looking for in my custody case! I would highly recommend using Walter any divorce for custody needs.

I hired Drew to do some work with my startup as we were considering potential M&A offers - he was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. We had an issue come up with a contract on Sunday morning and he hopped on a call with me Sunday afternoon to discuss.
One thing to consider when hiring an attorney is the size of the firm, will you work directly with your point of contact or are you getting handed off to an associate? I worked with Drew from start to finish and appreciated his level of hands-on, personal service.

I hired Drew to set up my corporation professionally when I could have done it online for a few hundred dollars. After paying over $7,000 to have this set up by him, I am left with cleanup to do because he made mistakes. Similar to the other reviewer, his math was incorrect on my company stock options agreements, so those contracts are invalid. He also did not provide me with any stock certificates, so I cannot execute said agreements either. I asked him to fix these agreements, and he never responded. If I used on online service, I would have received a corporate package with certificates, templates, a company seal, etc. I did not receive any of this through him.
I also paid him to correct my company name, and he only corrected it in Delaware, so now my corporation has 2 names! He said it does not matter. He became very rude when I asked him to fix this and refused.
As a business owner it's extremely important to appreciate your clients, since without them, the business could not operate. I ended up regretting that I hired Drew and felt totally unappreciated as a paying client.
My review of Drew's service is not all negative. He did a good job on some documents, but overall I cannot recommend him because he made some crucial errors, became rude and did not complete the work I paid for.

Seemed OK at first. I hired him. After that a nightmare ensued. He got into a private correspondence with a prospective business partner and wrote all the paperwork to suit him it seemed (his consultancy contract etc)....even the founder stock split was compltely wrong, giving him 18.5% of the company instead of the 15% he was supposed to get. Luckliy I did the msth and discovered it. When confronted, Drew pleaded the fifth, (no repl) and just sent me a bill for the $1500 I spent on him from my personal credit card. Also gave me horrendous advice which could have got a prospective consultant on H1B visa deported. Never a sorry, I heard not one ooops (I am sorry) from this guy. Good luck...
