Their team always goes the extra mile to effectively communicate every project’s scope, terms and supports on site production as needed. Would recommend them to anyone in need of PR or comms support.

I live out-of-state but I own a commercial property in California. In 2015, I needed an attorney to handle litigation with my property manager who was defrauding me by embezzling money he collected from tenants. I found attorney Natalya Byzova Kavanagh online. I hired her after talking with her on the phone, we never even met before I hired her, but I never regretted my decision. She is my attorney up to this date, and I used her for another legal dispute with one of my tenants, as well for any other real estate and general business needs. Natalya is great. She definitely knows her stuff, and she is very thorough when it comes to legal issues. She is always quick to return my phone calls or answer emails, she can answer my questions in a way that I can understand and she was always prompt and proactive in moving the case along. What I specifically like is that she is fair and honest with her bills. She would always advise me on the course of action most beneficial to me even if it meant less billable hours. I felt that she always had my best interests at heart.

We use Natalya of Imperium Law to review contracts and especially lease agreements or anything real estate related. She has helped us avoid problems and save a lot of money by finding things that we didn’t see. I feel like her billing practices are very fair, which is kind of a pet peeve of mine. We will definitely continue to use her in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone else needing a good and honest attorney.

Natalya remained calm and collected in a very hostile, multi year litigation, with multiple opponents. Results tell the whole story as she was able to get a favorable outcome in a difficult situation. My life would not be the same if I hadn't had her in my corner. I'd recommend her in a heart beat.

when I got into a car accident - all I wanted was to go see a doctor to get rid of my back pain but not all doctors accept patients from a car accident. - I called Iris and she got me assigned to a doctor right away. The doctors she sent me were really good. She took genuine care of my health and checked up on me to make sure that the treatment was working.
No need to follow up with her - she is always on top of the case.
I'd hire her again - but hopefully I don't get into any accidents in the future :)

I wish I could give Mr. Barth more stars than five. He was very responsive from the beginning. As you can imagine, I was scared and didn't know who to turn to when I found out that I was named in a $2,000,000.00 lawsuit.
Give this man a cape, because he is a true superhero attorney.
Mr. Barth figured out right away that I should have never been named as a defendant in the case, but we still had to fight it. He clearly explained my options from the beginning and was thorough about what the worst outcome could be.
There were 4 serious charges against me, and Mr. Barth was able to get 3 of them shortly removed and the last charge was negotiated down to a $1,000 payment for me to be removed completely from the case.
I'm thinking, $1000 and I'm out, let's do it. However, Mr. Barth even got that removed and I was released from the case.
I recommend Jason Barth to all in need of a smart and tough negotiating attorney.

I have known Zack for four years, and in this time he has helped me many times with many different issues. He is attentive each and every time he helps me. He is extremely responsive, caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. He worked tirelessly on my case, and in most cases he answered my concerns right away. He is also the kindest attorney I have ever known, and he is always available for me to reach out to. He has never disappointed me, not even once. He pretty much saved me from a whole lot of trouble, and I sincerely feel very much indebted to him. All in all, if you are looking for an attorney who truly cares about his clients and gets the job done, he is your man. Thanks again Zack!

Zack fought hard for my case, he was knowledgeable, assertive to the other party, and very easy to work with. Trustworthy and experienced. Anytime I had any questions, he was always an email or phone call away. He was always great at replying back to all my questions and concerns. I recommend this lawyer to fight for you. I had several lawyers tell me that I didn't have a case because I was employed for only two weeks or didn't have enough evidence to support my case. This lawyer along with his partner, Johnathan, were very confident and knowledgeable in their field of law. During my initial meeting with them, they told me I had a case and that they would help me. They won my case for me for great results! It's the best feeling to have a lawyer who will do anything and everything to help you defeat and win your case.

I called Mr. Broslavsky after finding his information on line. Being skeptical while reading other reviewers' comments, I still wanted to give it a try. Well, here I am to confirm you can believe those reviewers! This attorney is patient, polite, straight forward, sincerely willing to help. My case is kind of complicated, and I don't know if Mr. Broslavsky would be working with me yet. In any case, he is one of the very few I am considering.

I have consulted and hired him to negotiate contract for our Actors Equity Union Contract for my daughter, who is Child Actor on Broadway.

Mr Winter, by far, was the best lawyer I have ever dealt with.
Up until about 7 years ago, I had never worked with a lawyer. Then, I had a chance to work with several on many different cases. Mr. Winter stood out from all of our lawyers.
As soon as he was briefed on our situation, he knew exactly what course of action to take and laid out what steps we needed to do to move forward. He informed us on what he thought would occur through the course of our resolutions and everything that he had directed, worked out perfectly.
He was very good in terms of communication back and forth and I never felt like I was waiting to hear back. He was very responsive to our communication and worked with us to resolve our situation in a timely matter.
I have never had a bad experience with Mr. Winter and would recommend him to anyone that requires a lawyer.

I have referred cases to Sidney "Kit" Winter and worked with him on a number of matters. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable and uncommonly intelligent. He was able to resolve several disputes quickly and with minimum expense to the clients.
He understands and is able to handle complicated intellectual property issues particularly in internet transactions in which technology is continually evolving
Kit is also an expert on IP issues arising in the fashion industry--and knows more about the industry than any lawyer I have worked with.

It was a pleasure working with Dean Aynechi. He explained everything very clearly and answered all my questions. I'm very happy with the result. I tried working with the other insurance company (Elco) before coming to West Coast Trial Lawyers and Elco proved very difficult to deal with. If I ever have a need for an attorney in the future regarding an auto accident I will be happy to contact Dean.

In an extremely important case, Brian fought relentlessly and out-strategized the other side’s lawyers. His focus was always on obtaining the best outcome in the case and not on billing hours or on other clients’ cases. I highly recommend hiring Lauter Law and I will do so in the future.

I’m happy to provide my full and unreserved recommendation for Brian and his litigation services. His aggressive style is balanced with a nuanced understanding of the litigation process. Brian was totally responsive and always took the time to explain to me the various options at each stage - with real life examples from his recent day-to-day experience “in the trenches.” I am impressed with his ability and forward thinking, and I expect to have an ongoing relationship with his firm.

Ms. Slavkin has represented me a number of times in business-related matters. I have had considerable experience with lawyers over the years, and would rate her among the best on a number of levels. Of the matters she has had to litigate for me, I have found her knowledgeable, scrupulously honest in her billings, well-prepared and a force to be reckoned with. She is undefeated relative to those matters. In other matters, she has successfully avoided what would otherwise be expensive litigation in favor of a more practical negotiated approach which, in each instance, solved my problem without "leaving anything" on the negotiating table. In those rare instances when my needs have been outside her scope of expertise, she was able to refer me to competent counsel, and continued to monitor that matter nevertheless. I no longer look anywhere else when looking for legal counsel. I heartily recommend her.

Wendy Slavkin has ben my attorney for close to 18 years. She had come highly recommended to me by a prominent attorney and has been an invaluable member of my professional team advising me on a wide range of business related legal issues. A couple of years ago I saw her in action as she defended me in a jury trial in a malicious, meritless employee termination case. She professionally, systematically, and impressively dismantled the prosecutions case and won a decisive judgment in my favor. Over the years, I have recommended Wendy to numerous friends who, like myself, have come to rely on her
without reservation. She really is a special kind of person and lawyer.

All I can say is Ms. Toubi is a star. Tenant/landlord disagreement that ran for 6 years. I was the tenant dealing with the most unreasonable landlord. I reported them to agencies and the landlord's attorney to The State Bar. No help whatsoever.
Enter Ms Toubi... how she could be in a room with these people I will never know. Despite outright lies from landlord's attorney to her, Ms. Toubi remained professional and on point. The best possible outcome came my way. I won despite the thug tactics of ownership, her management company and her attorney.
Ms. Toubi is smart, professional with an attention to detail. She laid out all possible scenarios and worked with me to resolve this matter. I get to move on with my life, and I have an attorney for life!

So glad that I had hired Mrs. Eideh to be my attorney for my personal injury case. One of the most kind hearted person I've ever met. She fought and fought for my case, took a while but winning and working with her was worth it. Mrs. Eideh has amazing communication skills, emailed me almost everyday giving me an update of whats going on with my case. Totally worth it! Not only did she work with me with a professional and educated manner she also spoke with me on a personal level. I can only say nothing but amazing things about Eideh.
All I can really say is, thank you for being there for me and helping my family and I.

I needed an attorney quickly and a friend of mine referred me to Mr. Levy. I called him and he met me immediately to discuss my concern. He understood my situation entirely and assured me that he could meet the time constraints I was under. Not only did he prepare my documents quickly, the work he performed exceeded my expectations. I could not have been happier.
Every time I called or emailed Seth he responded to me promptly; he answered thoroughly every question I had, big or small. This was very important to me as I had an experience with an attorney in the past where I felt I was put on the backburner and ignored.
Without hesitation and with the utmost confidence I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Seth D. Levy.

How often do you find someone that goes out of their way to help you never expecting anything in return. That is a First Class kind of Person. That person is Neil Popowitz at Freilich & Popowitz. They are a Real Estate, Land Use, Law Firm. The next day he was in touch with me. I didn't expect anything and was truly shocked when he contacted me.
I'm in another state New Mexico and have a problem with the small city we are in trying to make everyone hook up to the sewer they are about to put in. If you don't hook up they can shut off your water. In California the code is anything within 200'. I'm just over 200'. I will find out next week what it is in New Mexico. Neil Popowitz went out of his way to give me that information. Again Thank You Neil.

Neil Michael Popowitz from Freilich & Popowitz has been an excellent advisor to me.
We have had a lot of discussion regarding the different complex aspects of my case but Neil has always been clear, knowledgeable, deliberate, and he has provided a swift but yet comprehensive analysis of my case.
He is honest, friendly and genuinely cares about his clients. He has provided me with superior legal advice with specificity on the approaches we would take on my matter, and he is by far one of the best legal advisors I’ve ever met. You can tell by just talking to him that he is extremely polished.
I extend my sincere thanks to Neil for his time, commitment, his warmth, and the hard work that he has put into my case. I strongly recommend him.

I was having a hard time making my son, a college graduate, see that the business deal he thought he had was not really there. So I arranged a consultation with attorney Neil Popowitz who, besides being an outstanding Real Estate attorney, also has an MBA and a lot of business law experience.
After the introductions Mr. Popowitz tactfully drew out my son to tell him his business predicament. Mr. Popowitz listened patiently, asked my son some key questions and gave us his opinion. My son paid close attention and so did I. At the end of our consultation my son clearly saw he did not have a good business proposition from "his friend". Another words, there was no real upside potential for him on the proposed deal. So he avoided making a potentially costly mistake. My son and I are sure there will be other business deals for him with real upside potential.
Also,Neil provided him with good business contacts. Thank you Neil Popowitz for your excellent business and common sense advise.

I live in a building that isn’t well cared for despite rental hikes and I wound up breaking my foot after slipping down some stairs. I met Ryan through a mutual friend and he agreed to help me with my case. I was pleased with how professional he was, responding to me in a timely manner and helping me understand that no, it wasn’t my fault that I fell (the stairs were wet and the roof was leaking). He guided me through the entire process and really allowed me to worry less about the legal matters and more about healing my injury.

My husband and I hired Robert Hoyt, "Bob" as our attorney on a friends recommendation to handle an accident case which involved my seventeen year old daughter being run into by another vehicle. My daughter lost her car as it was totaled when it was struck by a large SUV driven by someone completely at fault. Thankfully, my daughter came out of the wreck ok, but with
some back pain and personal trauma. Of course the other driver's insurance tried to claim that my daughter was equally to blame which was completely false. Mr. Hoyt carefully reviewed all the facts, visited the accident site, interviewed witnesses and started a tedious battle involving both of the parties insurance companies which ultimately resulted in a settlement large enough to replace my daughter's car and allowed monetary compensation for her pain and suffering. Mr. Hoyt also handled ALL the health insurance, hospital and medical fees called upon as my daughter required chiropractic therapy, X-rays and the like to make sure she was completely well. He even policed my daughter's insurance company as they wrongly tried to claim parts of her settlement.
We can't thank "Bob" enough for his expert professionalism, his hard work and diligence, but most of all for his caring and personal attention to my daughter's well being. We will always be grateful to "Bob" and now call him a great friend of the family.

Retained John to advise General Partners regarding transition of Limited-Partners in a multi-million dollar real estate development project. His knowledge of the space and ability to integrate our long term interest with near term capital opportunities was a god-send.
His ability to work with our complete team, to include accountants and Project Management makes him in this reviewer's opinion, are unique resource. While the complexity of the Partnership was exacerbated by some initial documentation oversights, John supported our position well by vigorous application of other agreement provisions.
Excellent Lawyer for assignments where goals are emerging but schedules are not optimum.

I found Douglas Weitzman on Avvo related to my real estate dispute. Weeks after signing the P&S the buyers attempted to cancel the contract using the ‘inspection contingency’ as their stated basis—and wanted to back out—but I thought ‘changing their minds’ was not a valid reason to cancel the contract since I provided the buyers with a full disclosure—which described in detail all the current conditions of the property. The buyers commissioned their own inspection report—and the conditions identified in the buyers’ inspection report were the same conditions identified in my disclosure—revealing nothing new—as there were no repairs needed.
Despite this—the buyers exercised their 'inspection contingency' within the 10-day inspection period, during which time the buyer is allowed to have the property inspected to reveal any potential issues that could 'void' the contract. Despite the fact that there 'weren't any' new unsatisfactory conditions on the property—the 'inspection contingency' is obviously a scapegoat that buyers can use to back out of a deal.
Weitzman asked me if I issued a 'notice to perform'—a real estate tool designed to make buyers stick to agreed-upon deadlines that are defined in the real estate purchase agreement—issuing a notice typically gives the buyer 48 hours to remedy the situation at hand—if the buyer has still failed to comply with the agreed-upon action, the seller can keep the earnest money deposit in some cases.
Thus, we learn that the buyers have 'no obligation' to buy until they notify sellers that all contingencies are satisfied. Weitzman gave me a free consultation and in turn helped me define the 'notice to perform' and how to use it—which can be advantageous to both buyers and sellers in the California residential purchase agreement. In this case, I am not at the 'distinct advantage' of issuing the Notice to Perform.

I worked with Ms O’Brien to negotiate a debt settlement. She was phenomenal! The professionalism and aggressiveness. With which she worked. Resolved my dilemma efficiently and effectively. In fact. The resolution was far better than my expectation.
Her communication and collaboration with the opposing attorney was superb. To my bewilderment. He still relies on her for communication on my case.
She was able to understand the many facets of the problem and work out the best plan of action.
Work is the most important part. She was able to sort through the frustration and superfluous to get to the actionable.
Unlike many attorneys. She did not require excess document collection and presentation. She requested what she needed and prepared documents as needed with minimal needs from me. appreciated her help to keep my life on track in the midst of the challenges.
can’t speak highly enough of her responsiveness and her persistence in keeping the matter on track.
If you can secure her. Do so.

My firm worked with Crystal to resolve a case involving unfounded claims from a terminated employee. She was very responsive and resourceful from the first moment we met. She calmed our fears and walked through the process so we were able to manage expectations. She eventually was able to reach a positive resolution within two weeks. Many thanks and I would definitely recommend her wholeheartedly.

My grandma (Nana) who was managing the apartment complex she was living in was being taken advantage of. We brought Crystal in and got a settlement that afforded her the opportunity to move out and get another place to call home. Thank you Crystal, you are an amazing attorney who stands out amongst any other attorney I have ever worked with.
