From my first phone call to GFF&F, all the way to reaching the settlement of my case, every individual in this firm has been professional, patient, kind, knowledgeable, and informative. This was my first ever (and hopefully last) claim against another party’s insurance company, due to an accident. Dealing with a physical injury and incapacitation was very overwhelming, and it would have been impossible for me to deal with the other party’s insurance company on my own. GFF&F gently guided me through this, and had me take important steps to get the care and information that I needed in support of my case. GFF&F won my case and obtained a fair settlement on my behalf. I highly recommend this firm to family, friends, and anyone in need.

I came to work with Chantel and Justine at GFF&F after I was hit by a vehicle while walking my dog. My dog perished on scene and I was devastated afterwards. While I was healing from 4 broken bones I decided I could not deal with insurance companies and my grief at the same time. I am so glad I found GFF&F - Chantel and her team were so compassionate and understanding. They helped me understand what I needed to do and helped me resolve the case in record time. I recommend them very highly.

I recently purchased a new home and decided that it was a great time to establish a plan for the future. Honesty, I had no clue what an estate plan really was and the difference between a will, trust, etc. Loung Law came highly recommended to me by one of my friends. I contacted Mary and she was extremely responsive. She encourages open communication and was readily available to discuss my concerns and answer all my questions. The absolute BEST thing about Mary is that she was able to explain all the legal terms and conditions to me in an easy way for me to understand. She used real life examples to help me understand the in's & out's of all the different aspects of the estate planning documents. Mary was extremely efficient and within just a couple of weeks, my estate plan was finalized! I have to be honest, before I started this, I thought it was going to be a long, tedious process -- but in fact it was just the opposite! It was so much easier than I expected and it's really nice to have that sense of peace now that everything is done. Thank you Mary at Loung Law!!!!

Seldom do I write reviews. Mary Loung deserves this one. In addition to her true professionalism, knowledge, integrity, great communication skills, and thoroughness, she is easy to work with. She cared about our personalized outcome and guided us through this very important estate planning process with sensitivity and proficiency. We asked countless questions and she was incredibly patient. I have already highly recommended Mary and will continue to do so!

It was truly a pleasure to work with Mary. I had longed postponed preparing a trust for my son as I viewed the process as gruesome and challenging.
I finally made the decision to take the step and had the great fortune to connect with Mary.
Mary was not only knowledgable, organized, patient and thorough but also a delight to work with. Her charming personality and lovely humor made the process feel seamless and even enjoyable.
I highly recommend Mary to all friends and family.

I was in a desperate situation to find answer for a complicated out of state custody case.the legal advice Jennifer had was more than ANY lawyer out of the several I already contacted and consulted with ever gave me! I have hired lawyers in the past as well for different matters and just my consult over the phone alone with Jennifer was more than they ever did, she was so sharp and caring talking to her was so nice she was a breath of fresh air, I wish I was able to hire her but being my matter is out of state it’s not possible but she went out of her way to give me all the support ,knowledge and resources she could, she’s so intelligent and professional I honestly can’t say enough good and can’t thank her enough! There are lots of good lawyers but respect,personality and empathy are key and she exudes all of it .

I would recommend my attorney Jennifer Keith to anyone involved in a difficult family law case. She has represented me the past 6 years, in a terribly difficult case where in my ex continues to fight over Custody. She has been Fair, extremely responsive, has a wonderful staff of an assistant and associate attorneys who are also very responsive. Jennifer will guide you to be Real, practical, talk you off the legde when you can take no more. My outcome, even after repeated attacks by my exes now 6 lawyers in 6 years has been superior. My kids are protected, safe and her guidance, both legally and personally has been a true gift. Insight, relationship and knowledge - are her attributes - recalling even the smallest - yet crucial details of a custody or marital settlement from 4 years back. Sometimes she does need to quiet me - from anger and resentment, but always does so in a polite, justified manner. Again, you can't go wrong with Hiring Jennifer Keith and her firm to represent you here in the Bay Area.

Bob Gundert is a man is integrity. Bob is highly qualified and is highly respected in the court room. He helped my sister and I tremendously in a case where we had been rejected for her medical procedure 3x prior. Bob won for us!!! This was taken all the way to Federal Court. I was amazed at the knowledge Bob has in so many areas. We are truly grateful for the help Bob gave us and my sisters life will be saved because of this approved surgery at which we were being denied. Thank you for winning for us Bob!

We hired Bob twice. The first time was for help in getting me out of a seemingly iron clad contract that I signed under pressure and impulsively. The second time Bob helped us was with getting our money from a travel insurance policy after we had to cancel a 3 week vacation.
The contract I signed was with an international (US and Canada) music education company and was very specific about the only acceptable way to cancel the contract. Bob researched CA law and found a legal precedent that I used to get out of the contract. I received a full refund two days after the company received Bob's letter.
Regarding the dispute with the insurance company, in one visit with Bob, he was able to give us several arguments to use in dealing with them. He also told us the choices we had, besides going to court, in pursuing our case. The company initially denied our claim due to an oversight on our part. However, the company reopened our case and it is now under review after they received a letter from Bob, enumerating the detailed and logical arguments favorable to us. Based on the legal options that Bob gave us, if we aren't successful at this point, we can and will pursue our case on our own.

Bob Gundert is the most amazing attorney. I was in crisis mode due to an unexpected real estate problem, but he was unflappable and handled it calmly. He always called, emailed, texted, and followed up when he said he would; I never needed to remind him about anything. In fact, he reminded *me* of things I needed to do. When I was nervous and worried, he took my calls even if he was in a meeting; he calmed me down, never belittling me when I didn't know something. I can't tell you the specifics, but Bob was an excellent negotiator with the other side's attorney.
I am wary about lawyers in general, but Bob is truly the exception. I recommend him highly and without reserve. If I could, I would put a halo over his head!

I consulted with Alex about a real estate deal I had in mind. He was very prompt and apprised me of different issues I hadn't thought of.
Alex has also helped me and my mother by explaining and interpreting a trust document in which my mom is successor trustee. We spoke over the phone and I appreciate his ability to cut through the legalese. He answered all of my questions and made sure that I understood his responses.
I feel good knowing I have someone to go to for my legal issues.

I called Alex Biddle as a referral from my nephew since my family was looking for an attorney to review of my parents Living Trust. At the time, we were very anxious to get this done as soon as possible. Alex was very prompt at returning my call and immediately set up a time to give him copies of the trust. However, the next day my family instructed me to hold off on the review. He was very understanding of my request even though he had already spent several hours of his time. Despite my willingness to pay him, he waived his fees and also spend time scanning the lengthy documents back. When my family decides to have the trust reviewed, I will not hesitate to use his services again. It was a pleasure to work with Alex even though it was short lived. He showed his promptness and professionalism to my needs. I will have no problem recommend his services to any of my family and friends that need estate planning assistance.

Kathleen was very helpful during a very new experience. She helped me understand what was happening during my claim and kept me informed of all of my options. She did her homework and was completely prepared. Kathleen made a very stressful time less terrible. I would recommend Kathleen Panek and her firm, Knapp and Viola, to anyone who needs a guiding light through an unfortunate time.

I had contact Priya's team for an Urgent second opinion consultation after my H1b transfer denial. Her team was not only courteous but set up quick appointment nest day. Though my phone consultation was 30 mins we went above that time and Priya not only calmed our nerves but provided detailed explanation and more factual laws about re-application. Long story short we landed up forcing my employer to change attorney's last minute as we were afraid and Priya and her team only had 8 days with a weekend before my deadline for reapplication. Priya and her team made it possible to file the re-submission 1 day before the due date and we got an approval of H1b transfer without an RFE which is miraculous in todays time. We strongly recommend you Priya if you are looking for accurate information even if you start with a consultation and you would be glad you contacted her.

We talked to Larry Dugoni about a family trust issue. His office was efficient on scheduling a appointment with Mr. Dugoni and he was very generous with his time and advice that shows the many years he has been in the practice of law. Larry will be our go to lawyer whenever we have any issues requiring legal help.

After consulting with other lawyers, I chose Mr. Dugoni to be my estate planning lawyer. Mr. Dugoni was the obvious choice, not only because he is clearly intelligent, thorough, trustworthy and otherwise professional, but because he is a decent human being through and through. He made a naturally unpleasant process (planning for your own demise) simple and painless. That he is a CPA in addition to a lawyer provided extra reassurance that I was in good hands and getting my money's worth. I highly recommend Mr. Dugoni to anyone and everyone who wants peace of mind knowing that their loved ones will be cared for after their death.

I've worked with a few different attorneys over the years but Attorney Debski (she said to call her Katie but I have too much respect) is absolutely the best. She was easy to talk to, explained everything to me & got me what I deserved from my former boss. I can't thank her enough.
I have recommended a few family members and friends to Attorney Debski already and I'd recommend anyone who has employment troubles to give her a call. Unlike most lawyers she'll actually return your call!

Kayleigh was part of my legal team at Viola Law. My situation was a complex one, requiring both knowledge of family law and following through with litigation. Kayleigh has outstanding writing skills and the ability to process large volumes of information and numbers quickly. We had to sift through a tremendous amount of documentation and financials. She grasped the circumstances and details of my case right away. Kaleigh then wrote declarations, briefs and other court documents that were concisely tied back to our objective. I have no doubt that her work was instrumental in winning my case.

When I was in a tough position with my case I was glad Lana was assigned my case. She was very kind making sure I understood my situation and making sure to help give me the best possible outcome and for this I'm forever grateful.

Lana’s advice solved many outstanding issues with my relative’s criminal case. Most experts give advice that is very general and not applicable in real life legal situations. Lana’s information allowed me to make decisions that maximized my relative’s chances of success. I’ve found that our legal system is fickle in nature, advice and strategy must revolve around probabilities of success. Lana’s guidance allowed me to execute a series of steps to achieve the best possible outcome. Without Lana, I may have made the wrong decision in my quest to help my relative. My dialogue with her proved to be priceless.

I started with Andrew as my civil lawyer, and after frustration with my family lawyer, I hired Andrew for my family case too. Andrew and his colleague, Lindsey, are the strongest attorneys I would vouch for. Extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. My former attorney made (/forced) me a settlement to share legal and physical custody of my minor. That was nothing but a disappointment. It made my case stretch over and over. When Andrew and Lindsey took over my case, I ended up getting full legal and physical custody of my daughter while the judge was boldly against me in every single hearing and trial. But Andrew navigated the case for me and made me gain full custody of my daughter. Andrew was transparent in presenting the case. He allowed me to express myself in the court. I have to add that Andrew is very fair and reasonable in his fees and charging me. I could not think of any better service.

My case has been active for many years.

I called Mr Frye after my wife had passed away and Prudential was denying accidental benefits. John listened to my case over the phone, after aggreeing to represent me, handled everything from there. It took a couple months, however in the end, Prudential reversed there decision. John and his staff kept me informed with the process along the way, handled everything from the day he took over, with the exception of a couple things I handeled locally, which was given to me as an option and helped to lower my costs and expedite things. I have already recommended Mr Frye to a friend for help with a similiar case and would without reserve recommend him to anybody. He came highly recommended as an expert in these type cases, and I believe he demonstrated this personally.

I have dealt with Mr. Vale on many occasions and have found him to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, reliable and down to earth. He truly knows his stuff and has a real gift of being able to explain the complicated avenues of estate planning and trust execution in a way that anyone can understand. As a real estate professional, it is very important for me to know that who I refer my clients to will be well taken care of with the utmost professionalism & knowledge. Bob is all that and more. Personally, Bob has helped my family with our complicated estate plan and I would have no one else besides Bob handle it. Bob is a rare find and you will be lucky to have him as your lawyer. I highly recommend Robert Vale and his staff...they are the best!

My wife and I ran across difficulty with our ex-landlord and money owed to us by her. At multiple points along the way, we've relied on Andres help. He was referred to me by one of my closest friends, who is also a lawyer, and recommended Andres for his expertise in this area. He was awesome. Completely knowledgeable and confident, he walked us through every step of the process and has been a tremendous source of information. He is trustworthy, responsive and has my highest recommendation.
