I’m glad I called Ferrone and Ferrone to handle my workers comp case, Zack Tomlison and his team always go beyond everything to make sure all your questions get answered and help you through the entire process which can get very complicated when you can’t actually have any interaction with the insurance part. On that note I want to thank Kelly Cazares and Jen Gorbis as they both took their time to assist me with, questions and issues with payments, doctors and medications and were able to communicate with the insurance to find me a quick solution for my problems. Zack, Kelly and Jen thank you again for everything and will definitely recommend you!!! I have a few partners already seeing you.

They have file for bankruptcy after converting (stealing) money from clients and ruining their legal cases. Strongly recommend not using them for legal services.

I was told they are filing for bankruptcy, and advised to find another attorney. I scheduled a follow-up call (that was at least two months later!) And no one ever called. Talk about adding insult to injury.

We got bad advice from this firm about the merits of our case and after we told them we intended to no longer pursue our claim, they proceeded to "prepare for the next hearing" and bill us beyond our retainer. I plan to stay far away from this firm moving forward.

After the passing of a family member, Adam handled the probate with care and efficiency. We were able to get through a busy court system in less than a year. He did so well, my family members used him to set up their estate plan.
Also, during a lengthy dispute with an homeowner's association I hired Adam on and he had things moving and settled quickly and fairly. Thanks Adam.

Be warned, extremely shady and questionable billing methods. Seems like once they have your money, they’ll just ignore you. She used to be good in the past but maybe it’s the lack of business and/or greed that she prioritizes money over great customer service.
Would stay far away from this deceptive, manipulative and money hungry lawyer!

I have known Tamara for almost 20 years, and at one time professionally worked with her. I held her in the highest regards. Tamara set up an Irrevocable Trust for our family 15-16 years ago. Prior to the trust expiring, we contacted her to set up an appointment to meet, and go over our options. We received a random bill, prior to our appointment for $600.00 with a description of "RESEARCH." Keep in mind that she represented herself as one of the leading expert in CA in Trust Law at the initial meeting, even stating she taught Trust Law at a local law school.
When we called for an explanation, we were informed that she had to research our options, as what to do at the end of the trust. It was at this point, that we informed her that her services were no longer needed!
We contacted another attorney, who knew exactly what to do, and had the necessary paperwork completed, and electronically submitted to the county in 3 days for $289.00. It took only 1 telephone call, and 2 emails, with no Federal or State tax consequences.
We continue to receive bills as of this review, with accrued interest, violting Rule 2-107 of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the CA State Bar Association. Neither Tamara, or her staff will return telephone calls, or emails, just continued random billing. We never signed a retainer agreement with her concerning this matter. Just a call to set up an appointment to meet with her, which never took place.
Unfortunately this has resulted in a complaint with the California Bar Association, with supporting documentation. We will update this website on their findings.
Again I am so disappointed! It appears that Tamara has now expanded her field of practice, and no longer cares about her clients, as evident by their lack of communication. The office screens calls, and refuses to return repeated telephone messages, and emails. I sent an email directly to Tamara, explaining my position, whereas I informed her if I did not hear from her within 30 days, I would consider the account zeroed out, and closed. Did not hear anything for over 2 months, and all we received was an additional bill with interest.
I would highly recommend to anyone looking for legal services with Tamara, not only to do your due diligence, but also compare the fast response of other attorneys, and fee schedules. It just appears to me that they are out for money, and really no longer cares about the clients, once they have collected their legal fees!
Lincoln once said "the lawyer has a superior opportunity of being a good man." or woman!

We had a positive experience with Tamara over a decade ago when we first set up our trust. When the trust was nearing its term, we reached out to see if we can set up an appointment with her to discuss what our options would be when the trust expires.
After making an appointment for a few weeks out, we get a random invoice for $600.00 when we haven’t even had a chance to sit down with her yet. When we called the office to find out what this bill was for, she stated it was for “research.” First off, this is your specialty & field yet you had to go out and do research on the trust that YOU set up?? Second, shouldn’t you at least advise or get permission from your client before taking the initiative to do something like this then turn around and blindly send us a bill without any explanation or heads up?
After a few back and forth with their office, we were under the impression that they understood we no longer wanted their service and they would adjust the bill. Nope! After six months, they had the audacity to send us a new bill with occurred interest on top of the original bill!!! AFTER SIX MONTHS OF NO CONTACT!!!
We tried numerous times to get a hold of someone in their office for weeks. But they screen their calls and emails so once they have your money, they tend to not call you back or follow up. And when you call them out on it, they blame their phone system being down or some other BS they can think of.
Needless to say, I’ll be filing a bar complaint and highly advise people to stay away from this money hungry firm!

My ex's attorney is known in the area as a jerk, unprepared, highly combative, and an expert at running up fees. Heather never took the bait, kept the proceedings moving forward at every occasion that opposing counsel tried to delay to run up his fees, and correctly anticipated at ever turn how opposing counsel's tactics would be received by the judge. She kept me totally informed about where we were in the process, realistic expectations and advice as to the range of exposure for spousal support and property division, and ultimately successfully negotiated a very reasonable settlement totally within the original range of my potential exposure at the start of the proceedings. Couldn't be impressed more! And I continue to recommend her to everyone I encounter needing family law advice. She's awesome.

I have had multiple great experiences with Heather. I am currently a single father with virtually complete physical and full legal custody over my three year and a half year old daughter.... this does not come easy in the state of California. At the time of the split with my ex I was referred to Heather by a coworker. Heather quickly jumped on my case and had filed paperwork with the courts almost immediately. I did have a lot going for me in my particular case, although Heather did a great job and made sure to include all important details supporting my case. Heather has been great... anytime my daughter will have a visitation with her mom(who lives out of state), Heather is always a phone call away just to make sure everything goes as planned and accordingly. That type of assurance and security makes you sleep better at night when your daughter is not at home with you. Heather also at the same time will be the "level head" in the situation and explain what you should and shouldn't ask for, or what is/isn't reasonable.
Having Heather as my attorney has made mine and my daughters transition very easy on the both of us. I now have had my daughter living under my roof for multiple years since the split of myself and my daughters mom. That is what you call a great feeling.

When you have to explain to an attorney that two party consent doesn’t apply to public places because there’s no reasonable expectation of privacy and that the First Amendment, freedom of press, does apply—you suspect you aren’t dealing with the sharpest crayon in the box. But when the lawyer proceeds to be condescending about it, when you’re the one who has a chamber loaded with one star reviews, you realize that the dullest tool in the shed attempted to sharpen the dullest crayon in the box that’s been dressed by its mommy and is rolling around under the seats of the short bus. Lawyers should realize if they pick up the phone to consult that they’re running a business.

Donn Taketa successfully represented us in a fire case against Southern California Edison and Time Warner Cable. The case was tried before a jury for 8 weeks in Ventura County, California. On July 26, 2012, we obtained a judgment in excess of $2 million because of the tenacity of Donn Taketa and his firm's extensive knowledge of the utility industry.
Mr. Taketa’s honesty and integrity were a beacon of light in this highly contested case. Each of the attorneys on the Sullivan Taketa team has impressive skills, talents and credentials.
We prevailed in every aspect of our case because of Mr. Taketa's commitment to us and to our case. Not only did he fight for our rights, but his genuine concern for public safety motivated him to be deeply committed to seeking justice.
I highly recommend Mr. Taketa.

I hired this attorney to represent me March 2023 nearly one year ago for a work injury case. Did everything as instructed and was going to Physical Therapy appointments soon after he was hired. I was approved for six sessions of physical therapy and then was told that I needed an MRI to confirm if I proceed with sessions or discontinue. I circled back with his office with this information as well as the medical office and never did this MRI happen. To be honest I even forgot about it.
Fast forward to November 2023. My Deposition was taken by the opposing counsel and to be honest it looked like Mr. Jimenez was not even paying attention. He did not interrupt or object to any questions was just on zoom doing computer work or texting. Finally the deposition was completed and I was told by Mr. Jimenez, the court reporter and the apposing counsel that the deposition report would be completed by then if not sooner and then sent to me for review and acceptance or to note any changes as I see fit. After going after Mr. Jimenez and his secretary over and over via text, email and phone calls I finally received the Deposition January 2024 TWO MONTHS after not two weeks as I was told. I immediately signed and sent the form acknowledging that I had no changes to report and today I am CC'd in an email from my attorney where he's asking for the deposition again and asking that one of us circle back with the court reporter to request it. I emailed him back and said, you already sent it to me on January 17th today is the 29th and on the 17th I sent you the signed acknowledgement doc and you confirmed receipt so why am I asking for the deposition again? It is constant mistakes like this that are only prolonging this matter and last time I checked I don't work for him, but it really feels like I do have to do things myself or locate important documents or remind he and his secretary to get back on topic or reiterating what he said to me and what he clearly did not communicate to the secretary. It is just insanely clear they don't communicate with one another and I'm just along for the ride.
Now going back to the MRI this was to be scheduled back in March 2023 and this request went along as far as as June 2023 and never happened. January 2023 I met before a medical panel and was asked if I ever received an MRI I stated that I did not and the medical panel stated the same that at this point a year after the injury occurred is just foolish to even do an MRI and that obviously someone dropped the ball somewhere. I circled back with my attorney and let him know what was said at the appointment and frankly that I cannot go further with him and begged that he just settle being that rather than helping he is just imposing further stress. He then said he wanted me to do more physical therapy and the MRI I declined in just about all languages I know and said NO! Finally, it seemed as if he understood only to receive a call this morning from a Dr's office to schedule physical therapy, I declined circled back with my attorney and reminded him again that I am not and nor in the future going to do further physical therapy or an MRI he certainly had the opportunity a year ago and frankly I am not going to waste my time nor his in looking foolish in having an MRI one year after my injury. He claimed that he would generate a letter stating such and would move to settle and send this off himself personally. Only to receive an email from his secretary four hours later scheduling an appointment for physical therapy with my attorney and im cc'd in this email the appointment started off 6 miles away from my home then goes onto being scheduled 42 miles away from me and then another email from the Dr himself saying I am to see the patient twice a week this is too far! and included a map to show both the secretary and the attorney. I hit reply all on this frankly idiotic exchange and basically said REMEMBER and reiterated again to settle and no physical therapy.

LINDSEY compromised my case. my attorney acted against my interest. I paid all his bills, close to $33.000 and in return i got a jeopardized case. I do not believe for a second that mistakes were negligent. I believe he wanted me too loose, because with each inaction and a with each mistake i was getting more and more frustrated. I was asking him to follow up with meet and confers as required, he did not. Deposition he took was a joke. he did not asked single follow up questions. the opposition got away with 175 unanswered question. Terrible experience.

He was my collection attorney who could not renew --fill out a simple form to renew my judgment.
That judgment is gone/destroyed.
It can not be collected.
Also, I was never told it was destroyed. After 3 years. I found

I was injured at my CDCR job in January of 2020. I was ordered by my boss to do work not in my job description after I had been injured. I could not afford to take time off on Workers Comp. I support a family of five. In May, my employer forced me to go on workers comp because due to my injury I could not perform the duties which were listed at N/A in my job description. My co-workers all told me to contact Ferrone and Ferrone because they are the best for state employees. I quickly looked up their website, and asked them for representation. I was assigned Mr. Scott. He had his clerical contact me, and state that they were working on my case. Over the course of several months, I contacted his office several times. In October, I was wrongfully terminated due to my injury. I called him immediately. I HAD A FAMILY TO SUPPORT! My employer told me I no longer had health benefits and the salary of 9000.00+ was now zero. I frantically called Mr. Scott! After weeks!!! For the first time he called me back and said, "You have no case, you should just retire." I would be receiving no benefits and $1,000.00 a month to support my family, he said there was nothing else to do. Luckily, Mr. Scott left Ferrone and Ferrone and attorney John Ferrone answered my call for help! I now have my job back, I am supporting my family again, not losing my home, and Mr. Ferrone is assisting me in all the areas starting back in January where things went wrong. Mr. Scott misled me, wasted my time for months and did not care that my huge state employer was going to ruin my entire life and family’s support. I would have lost everything if it were up to him. Stick with Ferrone and Ferrone for work issues.

This was my attorney for the past year. He would not even call me back when I requested just five minutes of his time. I was severely injured at my state job. The state accepted responsibility however continually denied all my surgeries. Now I’m a young athletic woman walking in a walker with more compensating injuries than before and living on 2/3’s of my salary. But in a year I was not worth five minutes of his time.

Do not set the bar high. Do not expect a win. No matter what . It may never happen. After he takes a lot of money from the client(like most attorneys) he makes promises and he never delivers and says things at the start and then down the line says he never said that .
At first he acts like he is your best friend and is out for your best interest and may very well get one task done to impress the client and win their faith to make you feel like you can trust him. He seems likeable in the beginning.
When the dust clears and the client asks questions about what was said in the beginning about a future lawsuit , he gets angry and defensive. Guess sometimes attorneys talk too much.
He does know Trust Law very well so that may be a selling point, but tread cautiously. Who knows if he has Actually won cases.
