Edward Stemmer at NMLaw is highly professional. I collaborated with him on establishing a Trust, which can be complex, but he simplified the process efficiently. He was remarkably patient and understanding, even when we had numerous inquiries. I feel comfortable reaching out to him with any questions without hesitation. His kindness and expertise are truly commendable.

Under Covide I received a Frivolous ADA WCAG website compliance lawsuit by the Frivolous "Handy Potter" Law firm who is not liked by the courts in San Francisco as their firm is an unprofessional legal milling practice & their fraudster client The plaintiff, "Un-Blinded" Andres Gomez. Of course my business was at a peril at that point in time, although Attorney Scott Karlin and his professional team, with Melissa and Dan were to the rescue. The lawsuit hit at the worse time in my family and my life as our business was struggling business. The level of service that Scott and his team brought was assuring. They even captured video surveillance of The Un-Blinded Andres Gomez walking around without any assistance discovering factually that Andres Gomez was not blind at all and consistently lied to the courts under oath. Andres Gomez and the Handy Potter has caused much harm to families and local small businesses and now, The Karlin group has brought much relief and stopped those carpet baggers from terrorising businesses using the false premises of being blind and using the ADA laws illegally. I want to thank the entire Karlin Group for their complete service from A-Z... Thank you Scott. Prayers to your team and yourself.. Case Dismissed..! Amen.

I highly recommend him.

I have worked closely with David for over 10 years. He is my “go to” guy when it comes to all matters involving real estate disputes, trust disputes and probate matters. I have referred him many clients and they have always been glad I did. David is not afraid to take on complicated and difficult matters. He’s sensitive to client’s concerns and is aggressive when he needs to be. Not only have I referred him to others, I have used him many times for my own personal legal matters that have come up from time to time.

I used David for a probate that involved the sale of real estate. True to his word, he advanced the costs and fees and helped me navigate the tricky tax and legal issues that arise in these complicated matters. David is a consummate professional who always looks out for the best interest of his clients. I highly recommend him.

Being a 45 year old man, that has been through a rough divorce, as well as other legal challenges with respect to breach of contract and landlord-tenant laws, I have had to hire quite a few different attorneys over the years. Some did their jobs partially, others failed to satisfy at all. I am happy to say that Mr. Cabrera will be my attorney for life. He is so dedicated and passionate, and truly will fight for his clients with all he has. This man has heart, and is extremely intelligent. As a bonus, he is incredibly affordable and will work with you as needed on a case by case basis. He is truly a gem. In my situation, we were up against a greedy, unscrupulous landlord that refused to let us out of our lease from our non-smoking residence after they allowed a smoking tenant to occupy the adjacent property just months after my family moved in. We were being sued for almost $10,000 because we had to leave our lease early due to health issues exacerbated by the smoke. Not only did Mr. Cabrera win our case for us, but also got us almost $5000 payment in damages we received. We were so elated and couldn't believe that not only did we not owe anything, but received all of that money on top of it. Mr. Cabrera is truly the best attorney I have ever worked with. Again, he is so ethical, and truly passionate about all of his cases, and he is consistent. I truly feel blessed to have found Bryan as he is truly a remarkable attorney, and a genuinely good and honest person.

I found Mr. Blevins to be an excellent business attorney providing both sound advice and great strategies. Mr. Blevins was initially retained to review a contract that I was about to get involved. He was able to point out some deficits in the contract which were then changed (I probably would not have caught them, maybe). It has proven to be a good choice to have him review our documents. Since the initial contact with Mr. Blevins, he has been retained as our corporate council. Now most all documents are run by him. We have found Mr. Blevins to be extremely attentive, trustworthy and reasonable with his time and charges. Mr. Blevins has my utmost confidence and I would recommend him to you. He has done some work for business associates and they notice the same things.

I hired Mr. Blevins to oversee our acquisition of another company and he since stayed on to serve as our outside general counsel. He is an excellent business attorney that spends the time to understand the unique goals and strategies of our company. Mr. Blevins always provides a quick turnaround on our contract review, answers compliance questions timely and makes himself readily available for any issues that may arise. He is top notch.

Working with SNR Law Group was a pleasure. They helped me with two major transactions. They helped me sell a Trust Property that was causing me problems before our engagement. Their legal expertise was second to none. They also helped me with a Breach of Contract matter that I could not resolve for two years prior by myself. I don't think I would have gotten the resolution we did without their involvement. I would recommend SNR Law Group for all your real estate and contract needs. They are great!

We were lucky to find Deanna Stone and Aaron Morris of Morris and Stone Law Firm!
I was being named in an Anti-Slapp case by Senator Catherine Blakespear. Morris and Stone jumped in, wrote the Judge a very well thought out and detailed statement with supporting evidence from previous Supreme Court cases demonstrating that I should not be named in the Anti-SLAPP.
In the end the judge agreed with Morris & Stone's statement in its "Entirety". It was obvious the judge was impressed with Morris and Stone's defense.
If I ever have any legal issues in the future I will certainly contact Aaron Morris and Deanna Stone. If you're reading this review I recommend you call them as well, they give a great consultation are extremely knowledgeable and fair.
I'm very thankful that I found Morris & Stone!

Deanna is very professional and willing to help. I called for a free consultation and was surprised that my question was answered so thoroughly that I was able to proceed without a lawyer. Deanna answered all of my questions and at no time did I feel she was waiting for me to hire her. She was genuinely interested in my problem and spent about 45 minutes talking to me and even told me to call her back if I had any other questions. Her advice was spot on and did not cost me a dime. In the event I do need an attorney in the future, I will definitely call Deanna again.

I hired Morris & Stone to represent me on a Construction Management issue. She was professional & most of all worked with me on payments since I am a self-employed, self-supporting individual. Having her on board has helped to relieve the stress a law suit can cause. She was receptive & available immediately for my stressful phone calls. She has been clear on explaining issues to me and I feel like I have someone on my side.

I filed a complaint against the lender In Pro Per and after visiting another attorney in Los Angeles who took my case and didn't do anything for a month, a frien of mine referred me to Attorney Kenneth Zwick who was like an angel sent y God and saved my case.

I hired the firm of Law Offices of Faud Haghighi, after myself and two friends were involved in a serious car accident. At first one of my family members recommended another firm which handled my case for about two months after the accident. Once I realized that they had nothing at all, I was referred to Law Offices of Faud Haghighi by my neighbor who recommeded them after they had resolved their immigration case. The office was courteous, professional and immediatley return my phone calls. After about three months of handling my case the insurance wanted to depose myself and my friends. Immediatley after the deposition Mr. Haghighi was able to obtain the maximum policy limit from the insurance. I would highly recommend Mr. Haghighi and his office for any legal problems you may have. And although I hope I won't need to, I would not go anywhere else if involved in an auto accident!

I used Mr. Styskal for a conservatorship matter and I found him to be an extremely helpful attorney. This process did not seem to be anything that any other attorney could not have done, but what I got from Mr. Styskal was personal attention. Mr. Styskal was there for me emotionally and really helped me through this very emotionally trying situation. Mr. Styskal really seemed to understand my position and was able to offer advice for coping and understaniding my position. Not only did he have personal advice, but he was very well equipted to recommend services in the assitance of managing my mother's well being. Mr. Styskal was also very patient with me, which is always a plus such a stressfull situation.

Ilian took a difficult situation and made it easier to comprehend and calm my thoughts. Trying to do this alone or with someone who doesn’t have compassion would be a scary dangerous road.
He broke things down so they were easy to comprehend. Yes, he had to give me the truth as he talked me off the ledge (so to speak).
There is happiness after this process. I’m definitely there and quicker than I thought possible.

Donahoo and Associates recently handled an employment suit I had against a previous employer. Sarah, (1 of the attorneys), from their firm was amazing! She was very thorough and attentive throughout the entire process. Any concerns or questions I had were addressed promptly, and, I felt very informed and involved. They achieved an outcome, without having to go to trial, that I could not be happier with! They're an A+ firm & everyone I dealt with was professional, informative, and very accommodating. I would refer them to anyone in need of their services!

I highly recommend Hogie and Campbell for anyone in need of legal representation for employment cases. After consulting with several law firms, I found that most were dismissive, claiming I didn’t have enough evidence to pursue my case. It was clear to me that they were more interested in easy money than actually helping me.
However, when I reached out to Hogie and Campbell, my experience was completely different. From the very beginning, Paul took my case seriously. He promptly scheduled an appointment and took the time to thoroughly review my situation. Unlike the others, Paul was honest, straightforward, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire process.
His dedication and professionalism were evident in every interaction, and I always felt that he had my best interests at heart. Thanks to Paul’s hard work and expertise, we were able to achieve a positive outcome. If you’re looking for a lawyer who genuinely cares and will fight for you, look no further than Hogie and Campbell.

I had the privilege of working with Hogie & Campbell on my employment discrimination case. Thier exceptional dedication and expertise truly stood out from our initial meeting. Mr. Campbell exhibited a deep understanding of employment law and a genuine concern for my case. Paul Campbell fought tirelessly on my behalf, ensuring my rights were protected and that I received the compensation I deserved. His clear communication and unwavering commitment led to a favorable resolution, and I cannot thank him and Mr. Hogie enough for their outstanding service. If you're in need of an employment lawyer who will relentlessly advocate for you, I wholeheartedly recommend Hogie & Campbell.

Our family had two big concerns: whether MediCal might seek recovery from our brother's share of inherited real property that was still held in our family trust, and secondly, whether his personal property may be vulnerable unless he had his own trust set up. Internet research on MediCal recovery and the 2017 SB833 bill led us to Amity Law Group. I read their perspective on MediCal recovery, watched an introductory video and decided I to ask for a free consultation on our concern. It was easy to set up, the appointment was set for just a few days from my call, and today we met. After going over the fact pattern we got great news -- the family trust protects against MediCal recovery, and our brother's assets fall below the recovery threshold. The Amity Law attorney was happy to have helped, the consult really was without charge, and there was no attempt for an upsell. I take this firm as more than just honest, but one that is in it for service -- certainly this time without pay! Thank you, Amity Law Group, for hearing our question and taking a huge weight off the shoulders of our family. May this review help drive paying customers your direction!

I am deeply grateful to Aden from ALG for his remarkable generosity and support during a challenging time in my life. As a struggling healthcare student overwhelmed by financial burdens and admittedly naive about my legal rights, I found myself in need of legal advice without the means to afford it. Aden provided invaluable guidance and support without any expectation of compensation in return. Despite my lack of knowledge, he took the time to educate me and ensure I understood my rights. Rather than capitalizing on my circumstances, as some firms might, he provided genuine legal advice, offered his best wishes, and handled the situation with integrity. The firm's selflessness and dedication to helping others, regardless of financial constraints, are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend ALG to anyone seeking legal assistance, knowing they will receive not only expert guidance but also genuine care and support. Thank you!

I am incredibly grateful to have had Ali Komali as my lawyer. His exceptional skills and dedication to service are unmatched. Even after all these years, Ali remains available whenever I have questions, always replying promptly and never making me feel like our relationship ended when my case concluded. His willingness to help and his genuine interest in the well-being of his clients truly set him apart from other lawyers. I cannot thank Ali enough for everything he has done for me and the positive impact he has had on my life. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a compassionate, skilled, and reliable lawyer.

If your looking for one of the best, look no further! Ali was professional but also used compassion and devoted his time and effort to ensure all issues were resolved in a timely manner. Any questions or concerns were answered with sympathy and quickly. He not only provided facts, even if they were good or bad, which gave me a piece of mind and respect to his wisdom he shared. However, due to his tireless efforts, a reduction in charge was a result and I couldn't have been more relieved. I recommend him in any case with any challenge, he is the BEST there is! Look no further for an attorney who you can trust, but most of all, can depend on to get the job done. Thanks for everything Ali.

I am so grateful to Ali for helping me with my son's cases for possession of drugs. My son uses sometimes and I don't think he would do well with the program the court is suggesting. Ali looked up his cases and explained to me some of the possibilities of how his case could be handled. Otherwise we would have been confused with what to say in court to ask for more time to make a decision. I am just so thankful because Ali truly is helpful!

Maxine fought hard for me and won at every single milestone. She will aim for the things that are beneficial in the long run and not let you get stuck in the useless emotional drama that comes along in divorce.
Highly collective & calm, professional, tactical and combative when needed. She had the strength to go and fight a case in another county with a top notch opposing attorney who unfortunately was a pathological liar with no ethics or character, driven solely by the pursuit of money who unsuccessfully tried to separate me from my son for almost 3 years by utilizing every loophole of the family law.
I am grateful to Maxine and her assistant Leslie for the support they have provided and wish them the very best in their life!

Divorce was a very emotionally painful experience and I was often unable to make calm decisions on my own.
She guided me through these situations with strength, calmness, and integrity at all times.
Without her support, I would not have been able to overcome this difficult challenge.
Because of her prompt responses and the steady stream of frank and calm advice you provided, I felt I could trust and accept whatever end result I got with her support.
Before I hired her, it was difficult to trust my former attorney because he was slow to respond and seemed to be little more than a clerical messenger.
Although I was not satisfied with the service I received from the former attorney, I was afraid of changing attorneys in the middle of the divorce process.
But after meeting with her and interviewing, I immediately felt in my gut that this was the right person for the job and I am so glad I made the choice to change attorneys at that time.
I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs solid help with family law.

I have taken some time before posting this to give myself time to calm down from the horrible experience I had with unlock legal and Miranda. Understand how one bad review can hurt your business annd I did not want to do this to hurt annyone, but to prevent someone else in a vulnerable position like myself from the same misguided council I had. I originally retained Unlock legal in 2021 for assistance with my nursing license. The original attorney assigned to my case(Melissa Dupree) was amazing but by the time I had paid the retainer and was ready to move forward she was no longer with unlock legal(took me about 8 months to pay the 10k). Once I had paid them I consistently asked for updates and no one knew a thing…For nearly a year I pleaded with them to get my documents ready for submission to the licensing board. Miranda took over my case and I hoped with her experience it would be a good change. I was wrong. She knew NOTHING about me or my case. Her petition was not reflective of the work I’d done and was not aligned with what my original councils strategy was and the reason I went with this firm in the first place. I was denied licensure. And Miranda’s response was “sorry” - complete devastation. I received no counsel and was blown off from the time they received my last payment. (They were VERY responsive when my monthly payments were due) Then I learned I could have and should have appealed and that was the normal next step. They did NOT tell me that. They also didn’t tell me that legislation changed and sealed records could not be used to deny licensure. Had I waited a few more months for my record to seal, I would have not been denied. Now I’m on the NPDB, no license and I spent all of my savings on this horrible firm. I have never despised an attorney as much as I despise unlock legal. They are incompetent, uncompassionate and negligent. Do not hire them, you would be better off doing it on your own. Thanks again for nothing Unlock legal not only did you not help me in any way, you actually caused my professional career more harm and should be ashamed of yourselves. It’s been almost a year and I’m still cleaning up the mess this firm got me in. And to think I paid them to essentially screw me over. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THEM.

I had interviewed several attorney's when I had spoke with Miranda I knew right away her demeanor over the phone and her experience in my particular area exceeded all the rest. Though she was a little more costly she proved herself right away to be worth every single penny. I never had to set foot in court, we did everything with a telephonic hearing. and she got me exactly what I was after thank you so much Miranda you are the best hi-5.

Kate did my full estate planning package last year. Yesterday, I was at my yearly physical and the doctor asked if I had an advanced healthcare directive submitted through their portal. I did and, so she opened it and started to read it. She said " Oh- this is a good one. I see lots of these that don't cover the bases adequately. This one is really good!"
Kate was great to work with, fair, and responsive to me and my husband and our needs. She's my family law firm now!

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses. Whether you are forming a new company, drafting contracts, or navigating complex regulations, a business attorney ensures you are legally protected and operating within the law. They can also help prevent legal disputes or represent you in negotiations, transactions, or lawsuits that arise during the course of business operations.
Business lawyers have expertise in areas such as business formation, contract law, intellectual property, employment law, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. They ensure that your business is compliant with relevant laws and help mitigate risks that could threaten your company's success.
When Should I Hire a Business Lawyer?
Hiring a business lawyer is essential at various stages of business development, including:
- Forming a business: When deciding on the best structure for your company (LLC, corporation, partnership, etc.), a lawyer can guide you through the registration and compliance process.
