To say that Cecilia is "excellent" is an understatement. I met with several firms before being introduced to Cecilia at Shegerian. After my first chat with her, I knew right away I wanted her to represent me against my former employer. She took the time to really listen to me and made sure I felt seen and heard. It was essential that whoever represented me understood how much I endured at a toxic company and wouldn't treat me like just another case. Cecilia treated me like a human being, was honest and direct, and she made herself available to answer any questions or concerns I had even past business hours. It's rare to find an attorney that is both highly competent and shows incredible empathy, but somehow I received both in Cecilia. I hope that I never need to hire her again, but if I ever need an employment attorney, she will be the first person I reach out to. I know that I'll be recommending her to anyone who needs a rec for an employment attorney.

I am beyond satisfied with the legal guidance and representation I recieved at Sherigan & Associates. My attorney, Cecilia Son, made leaps and bounds in order to represent me against "super-powered" wrongdoers. Not only did she stay stern, but she also captured the humanity of the situation. I'm very glad that I put my case in the hands of this firm, and would strongly recommend others in similar situations to reach out.

My Father and I have been coming to Mr. Frieden for legal representation and advice for a number of years. His professionalism and fairness with every case is something to appreciate. He is extremely resourceful and able to research his cases to make you feel comfortable that he is protecting you and representing you at the highest level. Mr. Frieden has always been very reasonable with fees and his retainers- He is the only attorney I know, that actually will give you back a portion of the retainer, if the work has not been put into it. In my professional life dealing with attorneys, I have never experience that before. He is one of the smartest individuals we know in the legal business and I would recommend him to anyone that needs good representation.

I met Megan in 2019, after a conflict with my family reached an impasse and I felt I needed an advocate. She was the fourth lawyer I met with, but the first to take me seriously and to engage with my story. After almost 2 years, we were able to reach a solution to a complex, multiparty, high dollar value, and very contentious conflict. I cannot recommend Megan more strongly or passionately. She is an incredible lawyer who understands the rules and how to move within them. But more importantly, she is an incredible partner who knows how to sit in pain and distress with her clients, build mutually agreeable solutions, and to work long term to execute a difficult and intricate strategy. Megan and I slayed dragons together, and I am sure she will do the same with you.

The difference between a good and bad lawyer can be segmented by knowledge, experience, efficiency and leadership; all of which are strong attributes that Mr. Hojabrpour demonstrated in my experience with him. But, the difference between a good and GREAT lawyer is that intangible quality of actually caring for a client/case and demonstrating honesty in spite of their own benefit; that is what distinguishes Comran Hojabrpour from the pack. HIGHLY RECOMMEND him as a lawyer.

I was involved in a very contentious divorce with quite a few moving parts. I worked a lot with Jean Kim and Steven Fernandez. Both Jean and Steven were always professional, extremely helpful and empathetic throughout the case. Crystal Boultinghouse and Melanie Minas were extremely capable and instrumental in helping me reach a fair outcome regarding the custody component of our case. In short, I would recommend Fernandez & Karney if you're looking for an excellent family law attorney.

I don’t know where I would be without Steve Fernandez. This is not merely a review- some suggestion that endorses the services of Fernandez and Karney. This is more of a testament of gratitude for what he did for me. First things first: the work of Steve Fernandez is excellent. He is a professional in the highest sense of the word. He obviously has a deep nuanced understanding of family law. He is beyond competent. All of his work was precise, swift, timely, and thorough. But the true zeal beneath this review comes from the humanity in the way Steve treated me. When I met Steve Fernandez my life was not in a good place. It is now. I have my life back, and, for the first time in a bit, the future looks bright and exciting. Steve Fernandez gave me a fresh start, brought order back to my life, and stood up for me when no one else would. And that is the real reason I write this. My life was flipped upside down in the span of a day. My absorbantly wealthy wife used all of the powers at her disposal to bully me and make my life as difficult as possible. It was a daunting situation. But Steve kept me poised, sane, and confident that the way I was being treated was not only immoral, but not legal either. He was right. So he stood up for me when no one else would. When all other avenues of help disappeared Steve was there- calm, intelligent, a guiding light through the tumultuous and complex process of divorce. So, Steve, thank you. You kept me calm. You got me what I deserved. And, most importantly, you truly helped me in a time of need. These are not little things and I can’t thank you enough.

Opposing council will misquote this review in court, so I will misquote Hunter S Thomson. "Family Law is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves run free and most of the time good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.... " Free advice : Before filing for custody, select your attorney wisely, choose a firm with a strong foundation. Hopefully this helps. Had I initially hired Steven Fernandez, none of this would have happened, had I not hired him I would have never seen our child again as I had come to his firm unable to speak and broken. I'll explain. I am a thirty eight year old man who loves his daughter dearly. I've had a smorgasbord of Family Law Specialist, JNE Commission, overpriced Avvo 10's. Not all of them were to blame for the original event that turned the child custody case that I filed in Los Angeles into a fabricated Hemet case, built by design for over-litigated fee churning fraud... However, said attorneys sure were lazy for the money and were happy to turn a blind eye to the blatant fraud and corruption, while simultaneously extrapolating from me every single penny. Steven Fernandez, who's name is on the letterhead of this firm, was the first person to put the wellbeing of myself and our child ahead of easy money and Steven has done a better job than every single other firm combined. He has earned every single dollar and then some. Fraud, perjury, corruption, stalking, extortion, legal kidnapping, private investigators, investigative journalists, you name it, from Malibu to Hemet, we have been through it. Again, had I initially hired Steven Fernandez, absolutely none of this would have happened. Steve has the guts and good nature to run a deep roster of gifted professionals. Steven is smart, ethical and everything that one would hope their own children would grow up to be. Every attorney at this firm is a consummate professional and gifted in their own right. I believe the latter is a prerequisite for being employed by Steven, as Mr. Fernandez is highly intelligent, yet still he is a respectable humble man. Steven and his firm are hands down some of the most compassionate skilled litigators alive and excellent human beings.

Generally, I am not a person that writes reviews. However, Mr. Stark is such an exceptional attorney, that I felt compelled to let others know. Mr. Stark does not, (thankfully), fit the stereotypical attributes of most attorneys that I have encountered. He is direct, honest and truly seems to care about the well being of this clients. He listens. He replies honestly and with very knowledgeable responses based on experience. He is not robotic and arrogant, as most attorneys that I have consulted with in the past. He is very knowledgeable about licencing issues, so if you are in a health or medical related field and have licensing questions or concerns, he is the one to see, though he specializes in other areas as well. Granted, may I add, he is also extremely humble, as he has a PhD and teaches Law and isl also is also a Judge. I found him to be quite generous with his time, and did not stare at his watch like many attorneys will do after a few minutes. This attorney is not driven my money, rather by helping those in need of assistance. He also has a great sense of humor, which helps greatly when stressed! I could not be happier about the outcome. Mr. Stark goes above and beyond to assist his clients. I am so glad to have consulted with him. Highly recommend!

David helped me with a case regarding discrimination at my place of employment. I was a good worker, so I never thought it would happen to me. And then it did. It was a complicated case as there were many years of behavior from many people and a variety actions involved. The lawsuit itself lasted for many years too. I always felt confident that David had the knowledge and experience to carry me through every step of the way - and there were a lot of steps! If I had a question, David was prompt to reply. I’m still so impressed with how much David knows about California and federal employment law and how much real life experience he has with all of it. David knows how to build a case from the beginning to go to court. Of course, it’s always better to settle, but you’re in a real pickle if you can’t settle for some reason and your attorney doesn’t know how to win a case in court in front of a judge and jury. David was prepared for every legal angle. It was like playing chess - he was several steps ahead of everyone else. Even in the most stressful situations, David was as cool as a cucumber and a consummate professional. I am so grateful to David for all his help; I really can’t recommend David highly enough!

I needed help with a dire situation at work. Someone didn't like me and wanted me gone, despite an outstanding job performance on record. This was in the public sector so there was also a union involved and procedure that needed to be followed. I knew I needed an attorney, but didn't know how to find one that had the expertise and street smarts that I was looking for. I made numerous phone calls and consulted (in person) with two other attorneys before asking David Duchrow if he'd represent me. I am so happy he said yes. My situation dragged out for months and time and time again, I'd be told one thing by the union (who was there to represent me) and something different by David. With his experience in appeals ("appellate law"), David was always one step ahead of the union because David would already know how this or that situation played out in the courts -- and he was well informed of the latest court decisions. It was this big picture type of thinking that ultimately got me a decent settlement considering the employer started out offering $0. There were times I asked myself, "Do I really want to pay for an attorney? I have a union going to bat for me, won't that be enough?" All I can say is, I'm so very glad I had Mr. Duchrow on my team. I can confidently say that the only reason I got anything at all is because I had David Duchrow guiding and advising. David Duchrow sees the big picture, the chess pieces, even when others trained in the law (and specifically in employment) couldn't see the same things he did with the same information. He's also one of the nicest and even-tempered people I've met. He was always patient and I did ask a lot of questions. David was careful to walk me through the logic of every piece of advice he gave to ensure I got it and understood the reasoning behind his recommendations. This helped me buy in to whatever it was he was suggesting and also gave me confidence when I had to face the ugliness of the situation before me. The other thing I'll say is that his rate is extremely reasonable and David doesn't nickel and dime when representing you. If you're in an employment situation and need an expert eye, someone with true street smarts or find yourself represented by a union, but wondering if you could do better, my short answer is this: Yes, you can do better. David Duchrow is the best I've come across when I was searching for an employment attorney. I'm extremely glad I decided to spend money on proper representation and I'm even more glad that it was on the right attorney.

It is easy to dismiss a 'perfect' review, but my results were what I needed and not over the top in fees or drama. I employed Ms. Fruchtman to intervene on an employment issue that had be washed over by previous attorneys as too insignificant or politically charged in the non-profit sector. My concerns were taken to heart, letters written, conversations had, and in the end, that is what I wanted. I did not want to go to court or sue over a sexual harassment claim. I wanted to be heard and apologized to by the employer. I wanted the perpetrator fired. I wanted them to acknowledge that they were wrong and that I was still watching them to prevent future misdeeds. They were scared. They listened. I was heard. Finally, I was able to sleep again. The perpetrator was 'retired' and women will be safe at that location. I owe that to her calm and relentless professional pursuit of the truth. They listened. That's what I needed. No court, no drama, just a good result for everyone.

He went to the two courts (Long Beach and Torrance) and successfully negotiated with the courts to reduce the fines and remove the warrants. I was even allowed to pay part of them with Community Service. I would not have been able to drive if he hadn't accomplished this. His fee was very reasonable for the amount of work and travel that he had to do. And he was polite and helpful along the way. Very professional but also down to earth. I highly recommend Wayne Bibee if you have a similar case to handle.

Mr. Rezvanpour is an outstanding human being beyond just a well-versed, top-tier attorney. From the very moment we engaged, he treated me equally even in law specific matters, and came with a presumption of the best of me as a client. When felt that I found something in the statute, he nonchalant asked: "Do you have a different reading of the law?" without complacency or conceit and in equity and collegiality. Mr. Rezvanpour will listen as an equal partner which is a unique quality shining bright among the legal community, and with his experience, he will be ready to fill in gaps where one gets lost. I recommend Mr. Rezvanpour as human being of exceptional intellect, wisdom and humbleness who happens to be an outstanding lawyer. This is something you can't buy for money; it's either there or not. Mr. Rezvanpour is one of the honorable bearers.

Sina was kind enough to open his office on Christmas Eve so I could come in to get my settlement check. He fought for nearly my two years for me and my case! The insurance company offered pennies on the dollar for what my case was really worth. When it was all said and done, Sina got nearly double what we discussed was my bottom line! Call him. Meet him. Judge for yourself. I have no doubt you’ll know he’s the real deal after meeting him.

I highly recommend Allison Claire Acker at Wolfsdorf Rosenthal. She helped me during the last 8 years in my US adventure as an expat from Belgium. She first helped me to get my work visa and recently to adjust my status. I just got my permanent resident card, I finally got my green card, thanks to her ! I am extremely grateful to Allison who always answered my questions with kindness and patience. She is a brilliant attorney with a lot of empathy and knowledge in immigration. She always knows which way to go and is straightforward ! I do appreciate that quality. One more thing, she is, most of the time, available and promptly answers texts, event at night or while traveling ! Her reassuring presence has been a gift and made a big difference. We can now celebrate my green card ! I will never forget Alli's smile ! She rocks !

I met Alli in early 2016 when I was first embarking on a journey to go from A2 visa to Green Card (I'm a UK expat living in LA). Given my personal situation at the time I figured my options for staying in the US permanently were going to be limited. However upon meeting and consulting Alli (and a number of other attorneys who I talked with at the time) I sensed her strategic approach and knowledge of latest immigration policy would pay off (Alli was up on new policy which other attorneys whom I vetted missed, which would later have caused me issues). I hired Alli and her team and we worked together over 2 years which saw me successfully (in a very short time!) go from A2 to O1 to Green Card (EB1). Alli was communicative throughout, thoughtful and above all very strategic in her approach to every detail of my case. Alli's supporting team are also a well oiled machine meaning I felt that everyone at the office was invested 100% in my case. I never felt like 'just another client', rather I always felt like Alli was doing everything she could to develop a strategy for 'THE' outcome we planned for. Thank you Alli, no doubt your expertize, coaching and strategic approach to my case has won me my secure future in the US. Thank you so much - I never hesitate to recommend you and your team! Stephen

When my loved one was charged with a serious crime, my life was turned upside down until Mr. Koury entered it. He told us not to worry because, in his assessment, the accused had simply made a mistake. From the moment we shook hands with Mr. Koury, he eased our fears by assuring us that everything will be okay. We felt as though we had a brilliant lawyer in our family during a nail-biting time we needed his expertise and humanity the most. Mr. Koury cared about us and the future we both faced. This kind man of drive, determination and compassion worked diligently to keep the accused out of jail. He kept us in the loop every step of the way during the oft-confusing legal process. We thank Mr. Koury for saving my loved one's name and reputation so he could continue on the right path. Quite frankly, we don't know what we would have done without Mr. Koury's encouragement, direction, knowledge and trustworthiness.

Jerry Ringler is currently handling a class action case for me. Before I hired Mr. Ringler I did my research and checked his credentials as well as the results he has obtained in the past. Upon that research, I was pretty much prepared to sign with him even before consulting with him about my case. After meeting with him I knew he was the only attorney that I felt completely comfortable with to handle my lawsuit.

Monica came highly recommended by a friend. In a city that is reputed to have as many attorneys are there are actors, I was a deer in headlights when I was an inaccurately named party to a small-business lawsuit. Monica genuinely listened to my side of the story, and explained my options for tackling the case. I had never been involved in a lawsuit before, and was relying entirely on her counsel. She explained her background, fees, and her assessment of the case. She was calm, collected, and presented my options. All my instincts indicated that she was the perfect lawyer to represent me, and I hired her on the spot. Monica checked in with me regularly, explained what was happening, and never left me in the dark. After a few months, my case concluded in my favor, and I couldn't be happier. Monica is an empathetic communicator, and executes. She is analytical, thoughtful, and a performer. As the first attorney I've ever hired for a lawsuit, I don't have a reference point for her attorney rates relative to others. However, there is no question that the value of her services are worth every penny. I highly recommend her.

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:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    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.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    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.
    • Contingency Fee:
      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.
