Mr. Glasner and his staff are truly concerned about you and your situation. Mr. Glasner met with me personally and took the time to listen to my concerns. Even though we are a far distance apart, he stayed in touch and made it as easy as possible, keeping me informed along the way. Mr. Glasner acted quickly and aggresively to get my case handled in a timely manner, and got my issues resolved, to my benefit. I strongly recommend him to all.

First let me start off by saying I never leave reviews but I was so pleased I felt I should leave some feedback. My first impression was that he is a caring person who listened and was concerned about my experience that lead me to him. I was extremely impressed with his knowledge and his experience showed. I did so much research on my own and had so many questions but he always responded right away. I highly recommend this lawyer!

Peggy has all what you need as a family law attorney. She is super sharp, intelligent, attentive, considerate, and detail-oriented. She always put the long term interest of my Child first and pushes me to do the same and the right thing. She protected us, fought for our interest hard and fairly, helping us win full custody, which is a very difficult thing to do. She is not only a highly qualified attorney, she is also a righteous one, bringing justice to the table honestly and fairly, which is rare these days. Working with Peggy has been a rewarding and educational experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of family law service and justice!

Ms. Kohannim began working with me after I had to fire two attorneys. They had dug a hole so deep, I did not know what to do. It is my deepest regret that I did not know of her at the beginning of my custody battle. Ms. Kohannim is a talented, astute, and shrewd attorney. Her thoroughness out distanced any other attorney I have seen throughout this horrible experience. She is not only a gifted attorney, but, she also deeply deeply cares. She cared passionately for not just me, but, the interest of my son as well. I found Ms. Kohannim to be meticulous in representation of my case. She did not hesitate to go head to head with opposing counsel when it was merited. She also knew when to back off if merited. She knows her stuff and was always more prepared than my wife's attorney. I know it is hard to believe, but Ms. Kohannim actually practices law with integrity. Her passion for the law is only matched by her passion for her clients. She kept me informed and made no promises that could not be met. Sometimes it was not what I always wanted to hear but it was always important that I did hear it. As a result, I learned a lot from her and have come to have a deep respect for her as the advocate she is. I can say with confidence, that Ms. Kohannim deserves her fee and much much more. Family Court is not a process to experience for the feint of heart or the ignorant. The court system preys on the unsuspecting and naive. She will help you when everyone else says they cannot. You do not want to get to that point and Ms. Kohannim can help to make sure you do not. I cannot strongly recommend her enough. If you have the opportunity to read this review I urge you to contact her and at least talk with her. She is someone you can be sure to trust, particularly when you get to the point of not knowing who to trust. Trustworthy, Talented, Skilled, Passionate, and Fearless. My family and I will never forget her representation. Ms. Kohannim may be the one thing right in the whole family court system. Justice is served to those who have the best lawyer. Peggy Kohannim Is the best there is.

Dean Masserman represented me in me a complex interstate custody battle. I am very happy to say that the judgement was granted in my favor where I retained full psychical and legal custody of my child with zero court ordered visitation to the other parent. Dean was very good at explaining the entire process, always communicated promptly, and I was extremely impressed by his extensive legal knowledge and ability to defend me with his expertise. All in all he made a very difficult situation much more bearable and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with this firm!

In 2014, Mark Steven Avila successfully represented me in a difficult, employment-related lawsuit made all the more challenging by the nuanced nature of the case. I had never before been involved in any type of litigation and Mr. Avila was very effective at providing guidance and coaching through what proved to be an extremely trying experience. Mr. Avila operates at a high level of skill and integrity-- vital for success and for establishing trust and confidence. His reassuring degree of engagement in the case was evident through his many questions and the extensive information he asked me to provide. During the many months he worked on my case, I observed the following: a tireless attention to detail, an impressive ability to connect the dots (often obscured and/or seemingly unrelated dots), an insightful understanding of the "big picture," a keen memory, pleasant interpersonal skills, and-- above all-- a commanding knowledge of the law. At all times, I felt that Mr. Avila prioritized my case. He was honest and straightforward in his communications, and was adept at establishing and maintaining a productive relationship with opposing counsel. I feel fortunate to have been represented by Mr. Avila and enthusiastically recommend his legal services.

Mark handled my Sexual Harrassment case. He was very caring, knowledgeable and truly fought on my behalf. If you want someone that will really fight for you then Mark is the Attorney for you.

I had a wrongful termination due to a disability and found the law office of Avila and Shaddow to be very knowledgeable, proactive, and upfront with how they communicated what they can and cannot do in my case. They were always informed and a step ahead in my case. I found them to be compassionate and aggressive with a fire to succeed which proved to be a winning combination. The results turned out to be more than I expected. I had interview other lawyers before I had Avila and Shaddow represent me and I can attest to the fact that I made the right decision.

John P. Rosenberg is not only an excellent lawyer, he is a caring person who listens and advises his clients with wisdom and care. He was my grandparents's lawyer before he was mine, and worked with us to make our living trusts, wills, directives for health care and power of attorney documents, at a reasonable price for the services rendered. John has helpfully been able to update any of the docvuments over the years whenever changes were necessary. Thank you, John. You are not only an excellent advocate but also a trusted friend.

I had a car accident over 6 months ago. My car was a total loss and I was pretty badly injured. I had no idea how to deal with the insurance company, and felt like I was getting the run around. I called John Rosenberg. He patiently answered all of my questions and explained my rights to me. He was extremely knowledgeable, trustworthy and supportive. My case settled successfully. The best decision I made was hiring John Rosenberg's law firm. He will fight for your rights!

If there were 10 stars I would absolutely give her the full 10. I found Mina on Google and it was our lucky break because we worked with 5 attorneys that charged a fortune and were completely negligent with all of our legal needs. We worked with her for the last 2 years on a family estate case and she was effective, worked hard, and was aggressive to get to the finish line. She is the most honest attorney that we've worked with and I would highly recommend her and could write a novel about Ms. Sirkin's excellence.

Ms. Sirkin did excellent work for me in a very difficult (for me, not so much for her) probate situation. She got all the specifics handled without rework. Her staff was there for me 100% of the time. My case involved a trial and I was still trading emails with her at midnight -- on Saturday, before the trial - WOW! She (we) prevailed. I attribute success to her diligence, hard work, and leaving no stone unturned.

My experience with them was amazing, they answered every phone calls, emails and questions I had, they were always available for assistance. They listens and provided empathy and very good advice.
My case was settled faster then I expected and I'm very happy with the outcome.

I have been with Robert, pre and post divorce for over four years. Without hesitation, I would recommend him to anyone out there looking for the best attorney to handle just about any divorce matter. We have NEVER lost a RFO and I have been through the divorce from HELL. His staff is superb and get the job done. I have shed many a tear and almost went over the edge several years ago, when the divorce stalled. Robert has been my rock and without him, I would have NEVER been able to deal with this narc. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

“In short, I was represented.
Robert Borsky pulled it in, got control, then got it done, instead of taking me for a ride. My only regret besides having to go through this travesty called “Family Law”, is not engaging Robert Borsky from the very beginning.”
My divorce took 6 long years to finish from February 2008 to January 2014.
Seven attorneys later, it was the divorce from hell that would not end.
Having to thank the corrupted “Industry” of California Family Law for that, too much time, energy and all of my resources were completely wasted, only to see my entire family become the victims.
I’ve experienced the “super attorney” who was only super at keeping me on the clock as they dragged their feet with delay after delay, only to satisfy their own financial interests, to the attorney who was very hard working and honest but lacked courtroom savvy/experience and the ability to get things done.
The other five attorneys were everything else in between.
My case was a train running out of control because of bad and/or dishonest representation (or lack of).
I met Robert Borsky at a workshop he was heading in 2008 that offered assistance to those who wanted to educate themselves on the subject and process of divorce.
I liked his workshop and message and decided to give him a call after being betrayed and abandoned by attorney number 6.
My brief experience with Mr. Borsky was a very positive one.
Besides being very accessible, he was always well prepared in our meetings both in and out of court and would exercise his ability to collaborate and contribute good ideas which complimented his knowledge of family law and my case.
Always fair and honest and fully engaged, he also shared a sensitivity level that really helped me rebuild my confidence towards a resolution to my case especially after six laborious years of litigation.
Additionally, he had no problem exercising his bravado in court or asserting himself when dealing with the rouge antics of opposing counsel.
In short, I was represented.
Robert Borsky pulled it in, got control, then got it done, instead of taking me for a ride. My only regret besides having to go through this travesty called “Family Law”, is not engaging Robert Borsky from the very beginning.
In conclusion, I was not commissioned by Robert Borsky to write this testimonial but only asked to share my experience regarding the services performed by his firm.
Thank you once again Robert, for all of your help. VS

The best! I was involved in a car accident and got injured. After interviewing a few attorneys I decided to go with Joseph based on his knowledge, patience and responsiveness. He was great throughout the process and helped me within a few months to get the maximum that my policy allowed for (the other driver who hit me didn't have insurance). Knowing that he was handling everything himself made me feel much better throughout the process. Hopefully this will be my last accident but I won't hesitate to use him again in the future.

I was rear ended by a pickup truck pretty badly and was injured. I was recommended to attorney Joseph by a friend who used him in the past and gave him a call. Joseph was very patient from day one and throughout the process, who took about three-four months. After hiring him he sent me to his chiro and dealt directly with the insurnace. When the insurance wanted a recorded statement from me, which got me a little nervous he coached me through it and made it easy. We met face to face just once, when I came to pick up my check. He did a great job and I would highly recommend for someone who was involved in an accident.

Looking for a family lawyer was not fun. My fiancé was not happy with so many of them. But Cynthia was highly recommended by another attorney who was very busy, so we decided to call her. It was the right call. This is one woman who does not let the grass grow under her feet. She was on top of everything, with daily calls to us, spelling out every single thing we needed to do to get our custody papers and her assistant Pamela was the best too.
Between the two of them, we both felt like we were ahead of it all and could not feel like we were in better hands. I cannot wait to refer her in the future as we could not feel any better with our decision to hire her.
Today, about an hour ago, we got our custody papers signed by the judge from Cynthia and it is celebration night for us! Cynthia told us she would get us what we so wished for... and we got it all!
We cannot thank you enough for so much hard work and your incredible tenacity. You delivered on what you promised and we love that!
thank you for every single thing!

Cynthia Berman represented me in issues of separation, divorce, custody, child and spousal support. My case was a difficult, and she handled all with honesty, integrity, superior knowledge, and preparedness. She kept me informed on all issues. My ex retained a series of five different attorneys, affording me the opportunity to see that Cynthia was able to work smoothly with each of them. She is the consummate professional at all times. At trial she is prepared, confidant, and can handle any situation that arises. In addition to her trial skills, she is a first rate and willing negotiator, when the opportunity presents itself, and always works to achieve a fair settlement for her client. She is a rare gem in the family law world, who cares deeply for families and their children's welfare. In my case, post divorce issues were handled by her with equal skill, care, and attention to detail. I am pleased to have the opportunity to provide my review of Cynthia Berman. I hope it provides sound guidance to others searching for a great family law attorney to represent them.
Put your case in her hands, you will be happy with your decision

I have known attorney Robert Kahn for over 30 years and he has handled two significant law suits for me. In both cases, Robert demonstrated a very high level of expertise, professionalism and common sense. He is intensely inquisitive, making sure that every important detail is reviewed and re-reviewed well in advance of trial. He knows how to be tough like a bulldog, but then he also has a warmth and charm that he adroitly uses to persuade and influence. I would highly recommend Robert Kahn as your plaintiff's attorney when you have been injured or your rights have been illegally violated. He's "top gun".

I had two cases -- one in State Court, and one in Federal Court.
I consulted with several attorneys and couldn't get a straight answer from any of them.
A friend referred me to Mr. Passanante. I could tell right away that he was very experienced -- and after I explained my situation to him, he quickly came up with a plan.
Not only did he get my sentences to run concurrent, I only had to serve less than a year in jail.
Both my wife and I will be eternally grateful to Mr. Passanante for all the effort he put into my cases.

I hired Ryan McEachern and his partner Navid Noorparvar 2 years ago for a difficult custody issue. They were honest with me about the difficulty in winning our case but still had a strategy for maximizing my chances. They were responsive, intelligent, prepared, knowledgeable, and the advocates I needed to protect my rights.
They helped me achieve the positive result I desired despite the odds against me. I have worked with them multiple times now and EVERY time we’ve been to court they have achieved positive results and will continue to utilize their services again should the situation arise. They truly care about their clients and their cases. I am truly grateful for their expertise as they have enabled me to protect the most important person in my life, my son.

Referred by a personal friend we share, who I don't think used Michael professionally, I was pleasantly surprised to find a lawyer who's business acumen most impressive. Great listener, saw angles I hadn't imagined, showed up on short notice to sit through a long boring meeting as if he had all day, and gave great suggestions during the meeting. After the meeting he debriefed me in a manner that let me know it was more about my benefit than his billing. At the end, I was simply grateful for his wise counsel. I rarely do this type of 'rate your experience' survey, but for this man, who is a talented pro and now a trusted 'friend of the business', I'm glad to have the chance. Michael is top notch. I'd recommend him to family.

We have known Michael for many years and he is one of the most gifted, professional and respected attorneys we have ever met. Micahel's credibility and reputation are well known in this community.
We have been in the construction business, in the LA area, for almost 25 years and Micahel has been a significant part of our overall success.
Michael has completely handled the few legal hurdles we have encountered with great skill, timing, responsiveness, favorable results and always at a fair price.
Michael and his firm represent a true asset to our team and our business. Based on the value he brings to our company Michael is and has always been the "right fit" attorney for our business.

Consciousness is the knowledge of sensations, or of what pass through the mind. Vivian Yochelson's consciousness in relating to my case of air bag impact and bursting of breast implants in both breasts was professionally/emotionally responsive to help me endure the months of pain, suffering and healing. Her instincts of what to say in the intervention between other attorneys, doctors, and myself during this long interval of time is to be praised. She gave me the ability to remain stable and self-assured . Always available to answer questions and to make referral on options. I continue to refer clients to her. I am an out of area client. I was ever so thankful to have engaged her as attorney. She is truly what every client would want from an attorney. Especially her ability to make you feel human and cared about. And needless to say a "brilliant" spokeswoman.

Auto accident that took place on the 405 Fwy. Ms. Yocheslon explained everything to me. Ms. Yochelson and her staff kept me informed every step along the way. I could not ask for any better attorney by my side when we went to my deposition and to the mediation. Settlement in my case was every nice.
