My recent experience with Narek surpassed all expectations. From the outset, his commitment to professionalism and open communication set the tone for my case. Him and his team showed evident legal expertise throughout the process of my case, demonstrating their commitment to securing the best possible outcome. The ethical standards upheld by M Law added a layer of trust to the entire experience. Thank you Narek for the successful settlement and I fully recommend M Law for anyone seeking top-tier legal representation.

Malathi helped me in getting a green card through marriage in 2019. Her office not only delivered, but was always extremely nice and available. And she was able to navigate easily through some peculiarities of my case, which I considered as personal complications. So I can definitely recommend her services.

I was consulting with Malathi a very special situation about my immigration case. She was helpful and I could instantly sense the breadth of her experience. She took time to listen to me to understand my situation and offer clear advice. I was just trying Avvo but this was beyond my expectation. Highly recommended.

My wife and I are in our mid-forties and decided it was time to create a living will and trust. We researched a few options and attended two seminars to understand the scope of what we needed to know. Unfortunately, the attorneys running the seminars seemed to be more focused on volume rather than the quality of their service. So when a close friend referred us to Adam a few days later, I wasn’t tripping over myself to speak to another attorney, but I’m so glad I did. From the first phone call, I knew Adam would be able to help us. He was a great listener and very patient. We truly felt that Adam was completely focused on our needs and helped us craft a will and trust that was exactly what we wanted. He was easily available by phone and responded very quickly to emails as well. Adam Aparicio was an excellent choice for our will and estate planning and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

I seriously goofed up a property transfer which resulted in the reassessment of the property taxes of my home. I literally went from paying $1500 a year to nearly $5000! Despite me missing several deadlines, Mr. Aparicio was able to secure a roll back of my tax value on my property when I thought all hope was lost. He was very generous with his time and didn't nickel and dime me for every call. He has a certain way about him, its very calming, and its nice to have someone do what they say they're going to do.

I'm not one for writing reviews, but my experience with Adam Aparicio Law Offices prompted me to spread the word. Finding a good lawyer is a daunting task, scarier than finding a good mechanic, or dealership, or dentist, or sushi restaurant. Your life is literally in this persons hands. I can't believe the Law Gods smiled on me when they dropped Mr. Aparicio into my lap. I was talking to a good friend about my problem with an insurance company. I had signed some documents without really understanding all of the fine print. I made a grave mistake and trusted the insurance agent when she explained what everything in the documents meant. Little did I know, that she had failed to mention some pretty important clauses that were to my great disadvantage. I spent sleepless nights once I realized my mistake. The mistake had cost me in the thousands of dollars, and in this economic climate, it was heartbreaking. My friend mentioned he knew of a good lawyer and this is where Mr. Aparicio came in. I was reluctant to call his offices at first, I was feeling apprehensive in trusting anyone, since I had been let down by my own insurance company just previously. I had that same fear people have when trying to choose a good doctor. You want the best. But my mind was put at ease once I walked in. His staff was courteous, his office intimate, and his handshake firm. I felt comfortable with him right away. I was highly impressed by his initiative. He read my documents thoroughly, he answered my questions, he brought his staff together and they started on a plan of attack. Things were getting done right away and I felt at ease about it. I felt confident about having good people behind me. Adam and his staff were there for me every step of the away. They were always a phone call away. Even after they were able to get the contract retracted and annulled. They still called to make sure that I was happy and satisfied with the results. Was I happy? My lord! They saved me thousands of dollars and they still call to ask if I'm satisfied? Wow! They don't make lawyers like this anymore. I highly recommend Adam Aparicio Law Offices. It feels good to know that If I ever have legal problems again, I have no problem knowing who to turn too. I just want to give a big thanks to Adam Aparicio and his staff. It was a magnificent honor knowing you were all on my side.

I have worked with Mr. Adrian Ibarra for several years, and in that time, he has proven to be a professional, knowledgeable, and experienced estate and trust attorney. Managing my grandfather’s estate after he passed felt like there were a million things that needed to happen all at once, but thankfully Mr. Ibarra was there to help provide much needed guidance and assurance during a difficult time for our family. Mr. Ibarra was always responsive to my messages and phone calls and would get back to me quickly. Additionally, Mr. Ibarra was conscientious about following up on action items and with reminders to me for deliverables that I owed him. Unlike other attorneys that I have worked with, I find Mr. Ibarra friendly and approachable. This makes him a great attorney to work with m, as I feel that I can speak with him openly. He also has a great talent to be able to take complex ideas and distill them down so that they are easily understood. I’ve recommended him to other family members as well.

Surj Soni has been our counsel for intellectual property on our entertainment licensing business and was successful in defending our case before the Federal Courts because of his ability to not only think within the confines of the law, but to also challenge traditional thinking with a rational and logical approach to the issues. Surj Soni and all of the other lawyers on his team at the Soni Law Firm worked for years on our cases and never let up.

There is a reason HLF specializes in Employment Law. While avoiding specifics I will say this Team of legal professionals set the standard very high. From the moment I used their website to submit my inquiry to present day I never felt anything but educated, cared about, and professionally guided through the scary waters of my specific case. I sought justice and Alex (and his wonderful Team) helped me get it. I feel like I had a voice now and that I have been properly compensated. Towards the end and several times during this experience I was flustered and bewildered. I was worried they would think I was stupid or annoying for asking so many questions, especially after what I had been though.... My self esteem was not very good at that time. But every email was answered with patience and kindness. Now I feel victorious and I am ready to make the world my oyster again. Thank you so much for everything!

I have to say, it was a very dark time for me. I had looked at a ton of different tax attorney firms on the websites. but a friend highly recommended Amy with Sulahian Law, I was still skeptical at first and wanted to make sure I was making the right decision. Plus I was hoping for someone in my area,
I chose Sulahian Law because it was almost in walking distance from my Pasadena office. I felt like I could verify them if I needed and even offered to meet them.
When I called, I was surprised to get the principal lawyer right away. She was extremely friendly and explained my options. No pressure - which almost made me suspicious! So, over the course of a few days, I asked many questions and she was always prompt at getting back to me. So, communication was always really good. Always.
The communication and explanations of things, and describing what to expect (having real expectations) were always valuable
My attorney, during this process was available to me. She provided clear, concise direction which required action on my behalf as well. In other words, if you want your case to move quickly, provide exactly what the firm asks from you expeditiously. It really helped move our case along quickly.
Even though it took time in my case, like most tax cases does ,we eventually cut my overall liability in half and established an installment plan that quite literally saved my hide.
I'm personally grateful for finding Amy with Sulahian Law for helping me through tough financial time in my life.
I highly recommend Sulahian Law to my family or friends. If she was able to help me I there is a great chance she can help your situation too.

I had been dragging my feet on putting my end of life documents in order but knew I needed to get it done. David Huffman was an excellent lawyer to work with in getting my trust/will completed. He is professional, knowledgeable and kept me motivated. He explained the process very clearly and I understood the difference between a will and a trust, how I needed to complete each form, how he would put the correct legal documents in order and other pertinent details. By the end of the process I felt incredibly relieved and grateful for the services Dave Huffman provided.

I have received excellent, competent service from Mr. Huffman and his associates on several real estate matters. His advice and guidance have been key to resolving what I had thought were unresolvable matters. His knowledge and calm confidence were essential in creating a doable strategy that actually worked. I have referred a variety of situations to him, with him being able to navigate through them to favorable conclusions. I feel very confident in Mr. Huffman's honesty, integrity and the sense I get that he truly is my advocate, working in my best interest. I feel fortunate that Mr. Huffman represents me in my real estate and business affairs. Knowing he is there when I need him is very important to my peace of mind.

I used Ms. Serine Tsuda for my prenuptial agreement and she is professional, knowledgeable, and transparent on the topics discussed at hand. She was able to guide me in an efficient and timely manner which I cannot thank her enough. At the end of my process with Ms. Tsuda, I was pleasantly surprised that she did not use up the entire retainer and refunded the remaining balance. I have dealt with plenty of attorneys and once you pay that retainer most attorneys will say that there is nothing left over. I really appreciate the honesty and ethics with Ms. Tsuda. I highly recommend anyone in need of attorney services to use Ms. Serine Tsuda and her law firm. Thank you again and your hard work is greatly appreciated!!!

I had a case that required knowledge of out of state laws and jurisdiction. I found myself in need of an attorney because I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I reached out to Serine thru a family referral and that was the best decision I could have ever made. Serine and her team were on my side from day one. I was very intimidated, nervous, and extremely scared of the whole court process. Knowing I had Serine in my corner made an almost unbearable and stressful situation seem manageable. I never doubted Serine’s ability to achieve the best possible outcome for me. Serine goes above and beyond expectations. I felt very comfortable sharing the most private details with her because she was easy to talk to and extremely comforting. Serine is professional, compassionate, and very knowledgeable. Serine and her staff were always available to answer any of my questions and concerns. Serine went out of her way to ensure I knew everything about my case and what I was getting myself into. I am very fortunate to have her on my side. If you need a family law attorney and you want the BEST, then call Serine A. Tsuda. Serine has completely exceeded my expectations and I will forever be grateful for what she has done for me.

I was referred to Eugene Kim by another lawyer. I must have contacted 8 or more lawyers (email or phone), and was wrapping up when i emailed and then spoke to Eugene. He really makes sure he understands your case, and tells you whether you have one or not. He is knowledgeable and experienced with business law, where some others are not. Eugene qualified my claim without wasting time and money. His courtroom experience is very valuable. He is a very good lawyer and businessman. None of the other lawyers came close to his skill-set. I am sure he has a very successful practice with many referrals. You will be very happy after speaking with Eugene Kim.

I'm a real estate agent in Pasadena, CA and for the past couple of years I've been using Raymond Zakari for guidance to help me navigate most of the sticky legal issues I come across in my profession. Raymond has an exceptionally sharp mind and is very strategic when it comes to parsing out the relevant details in the haze of some of my transactions. He is also a phenomenal contract expert. He has helped me logistically structure some of my deals that were a bit more complex than most of my other transactions. But I'm mostly impressed with Raymond's ability to work with me in a timely manner and to be clear and concise. He doesn't mince words and in a profession where time is money, Raymond has definitely saved me on both.

We first met Bill in 1987 or 1988 when he and Erin and Barbara and I hosted two young Japanese women exchange students interested in polishing their English skills during a summer session. Over the years, we have been repeatedly impressed by Bill's integrity and knowledge, and when it became time, we asked him to be executor of our estate, will and trust. He has been an excellent choice, low-key and confidence-inspiring for our adult children and attentive to detail. In fact, we have an amendment to our will on our current to-do list: Bill recently reminded us that it needed to be updated to include the birth of a great-grandchild or three; we have established 529 education trust funds for each of the "grands" and "great-grands," to make manifest our lineage's ongoing emphasis on the importance of education to a family's "health. This reminder of Bill's exemplifies the kind of care and attention that we never cease being grateful for.

Victor Cosentino has been our attorney for over a decade and has supported our company's growth during that time. Over the years without hesitation I've recommended him to other CEO friends and associates who continue to utilize him in their businesses and value his contributions.

I have found his opinions wise and thoughtful; Victor is always helpful. I highly recommend him.

Victor’s work was pivotal in securing a positive outcome to the most important arbitration our company ever faced.

We really appreciate Victor and he is a key component of our business. We use his services for a variety of legal issues including general contracts, licensing, and just about anything else our business needs. We have found his approach to legal issues to be very straight forward and non confrontational. We have participated in legal negotiations with a wide range of personality types and Victor has the steady calmness to handle them all and represent our interests. His demeanor has greatly reduced the stress level we were used to with other attorneys in the past and enabled us to sleep at night knowing our negotiations were always in good hands.
Victor takes the time to really get to know your issue and then offer the best approach, alternative, or solution. We rely on him to take care of our legal matters and we give him our highest recommendation.

This lawyer I have know for over 20 years. He has never lost a case for me. He has won huge lawsuits regarding huge businesses and institutions as well as lawsuits regarding individuals for me. This is a very detailed oriented and very knowlegable attorney. I would rate him in the top 1% of the best lawyers in America. He is a former University professor who taught law to students before they became lawyers so as you can see he is an experienced practicing attorney and he has been responsible to help produce some of the most productive attorneys this country has produced in the last 30 years.

Dale Gronemeier is an excellent lawyer. From the first issue in my lawsuit to the last, he gave me good advice. He was great at "thinking ahead" and seeing potential problems that I did not see. It took us over 2 years to finally get to trial because of delays by the "other side" yet I was supported and kept informed throughout - Dale was always available to talk through issues. The trial lasted over 10 days and was a multilayered, difficult litigation. The "other side" had THREE lawyers in court every day but I still prevailed on the most important issues thanks to Dale's hard work.

He has helped my husband and I prevent costly mistakes by always reviewing contracts first before we sign them. Bonus, he's pretty funny and definitely witty. However, opposing parties beware he can be quite firm and aggressive if needed. I'm glad he's on my side.

We were involved with an extremely complicated, lengthy and difficult trust/probate case. Megan Lee was extremely informative and very responsive with us. As clients, we were unsure of the legal aspects of our case. Megan was very good at explaining the answers to the questions that we had. We were most impressed by her sensitivity to the emotional stress that our case was having on us. We feel that this helped us to get through the five year long case that we had. Lawyers can have a reputation for being distant and non responsive. This was absolutely NOT the case with our dealings with Megan Lee. She kept us informed of what was going on all the way through to the end of our long, involved and complicated case. We would recommend her with a five+ star rating!

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses.
