We hired Marc to represent our son who was falsely accused of Domestic Violence on Catalina Island in Los Angeles during a family Christmas vacation which quickly turned into a nightmare. Marc persuaded the District Attorney to not file a criminal case against our son. We are very pleased with this result!

I did not use K&L, but was on the other side in a legal action that I took. They actually did not answer the complaint - handing me a default judgment. I would never expect that from a law firm of their size and reputation.

Found yourself in the unfortunate position of needing criminal defense attorney? Do yourself a favor and hire the best. John Runfola is the best in the Bay Area. He fought tirelessly for me with the tenacity of a Rottweiler. Believe me, when you’re facing a serious charge, you need someone tough on your side. John is the toughest. I can’t say enough good things about him, but I do hope I never need his help again if you know what I mean! So stop stressing and call John Runfola.

John Runfola is an amazing attorney and a very good person. When my case started I was nervous ,stressed and negative about it. I came from part of Europe where Laws are different from the Laws at the USA. As the time passed by, I felt better after a huge support I had from John, thanks to his professional advice and a great approach. He made me feel safe and made me believe in positive outcome. After short period of time I had my full trust in him. He did an amazing job in helping me approach the problem I had while encouraging me to stay positive and keep listening to his advices. At the end instead of getting a few years of a prison sentence, I only have a probation violation. I have to mention that John was very patient with me as well . He saved my life. I would highly recommend John to everyone. He is the best and the most professional attorney you could have and he also has a great team surrounding him. I would like to thank him for everything he did for me and for making me feel he was not only my attorney, but also a great friend!
Milos😊
John Runfola je odličan advokat kao i mnogo dobra osoba.
Na početku mog slučaja sam se osjećao nervozno, stresno i pesimistično. Poticem iz Evrope gdje su zakoni razliciti od zakona Usa. Kako je vrijeme prolazilo, John mi je sve više sa svojim profesionalnim savjetima i odličnim ljudskim pristupom ulivao sigurnost da će sve biti u redu.
Nakon kratkog vremena stekao sam veliko povjerenje u Johna. Na najbolji mogući način mi je pomogao, uputio me i naučio kako da pravilno pristupim problemu koji imam, kako da dodjem do najboljeg rešenja govoreći mi često " samo me slušaj" .
John je završio moj slučaj tako što je od potencijalnih mnogo godina zatvora napravio čudo i ja sam dobio uslovnu kaznu. Moram da dodam da je imao izuzetno strpljenje za mene. Spasio mi je život.
Preporučio bih svima ovog gospodina, profesionalca i dobru osobu.
Takodje želim da pohvalim njegov kompletan office. Johne hvala ti, tokom cijelog slučaja sam se osjećao kao da si mi prijatelj, a ne samo advokat.

Thank you to the Law Offices of John M. Runfola. John is recommended by my friend when I faced several criminal charges. At that time, I was very very stressful and anxious. But after I retained John as my attorney, I was deeply impressed by his professional way to handle my case and I felt much comfortable. He could help analyze all details in cases, provide advices, and even the pros and cons of advices. Finally, the outcome is satisfying and I never doubt the choice I made to have John as my attorney. I recommend everyone who has criminal issues to hire John as your criminal defense lawyer.

I used James and his law firm on two separate occasions, a living trust which involved my mother and my divorce. Neither occasion was simple but James handled both with helpful insight and guided me to the correct answers through thoughtful questions. Not once did I feel he was just suggesting things to make the process move quicker or easier on his law firm to execute. Both times I left his office feeling as though things were handled fairly and correctly. Whatever legal issue I may have in the future, I will definitely consult with James first to see if his firm can take it on. I have a high degree of trust and faith in his competence to handle any legal issue after his work on my living trust and divorce.

My business partner and I were looking to incorporate our tech startup and feel fortunate that we found Scott Walker's firm for what we hope will become a long-term working relationship. Scott and John Rosenbaum understand the tech startup space forward and backward and we couldn’t have been happier with their fast response times, their breadth of knowledge (we were total newbies and asked tons of questions) and their patience and counsel when a potential equity partner fell through in the middle of incorporating our company.
We feel that Scott Walker and John Rosenbaum have set us up for long-term success and we have never doubted our choice in partnering with them.

I first learned about Scott Walker through his sponsorship of This Week in Startups. I engaged his firm for some trademark and IP stuff, and Bruno did a great job. I then needed help with a seed financing and I spoke to Scott, who recommended convertible notes and assigned the project to Ki - who was fantastic. In fact, Scott was copied on all the emails and even weighed-in at times at no charge. They really know the startup space, and I would highly recommend them.

I worked with Scott, or should I say, Scott's firm for my last startup. I chose Scott because of his blog posts on startup issues, his active participation in LA startup events, and the fact that he was located in LA, which is where I am. This last attribute turned out to be worthless because I only spoke to Scott on my first call with him, where he introduced me to another member of his firm in San Francisco who I worked with over phone and email. I suggested meeting up with him as I felt it important to know my lawyer in person, but he ignored my requests.
I got the impression that Scott's firm is trying to break into the startup market, rather than being experienced in it. When I asked for references of successful startups that they'd worked with, they had trouble producing any. No problem, I thought, these guys are sort of a startup, too. Big mistake. The firms up in Silicon Valley are much better versed in startup issues, and are prepared for anything, and can say "we've done this 100x before, this is the way to do it" and move on. They will also defer fees until you raise money, which Scott was reluctant to do, although he did offer flat rate for many things.
I think the bottom line was that I never felt like I had a startup-focused firm on my side. Scott's firm seemed rooted in their large corporate backgrounds, always presenting lots of alternatives and saying "well, you're exposed to risk if you do this" ... hey man, we're a startup, we need to just decide and move on. We don't have time to be dealing with CYA up and down, we just need to know what is the quickest way to get this deal done, and they couldn't help with that.
In closing, Scott and his firm may be good lawyers, but not for startups.
