I especially appreciate Sarahi Nunez and her legal team, Alyssa, Christy and Melissa in assistant in establishing my living trust from the initial consultation with Sarahi Nunez to the final signing. Thank you all for your patience and answering my questions, the smooth scheduling of appointments and for making what could have been a stressful and confusion experience, surprisingly straightforward and stress-free.
Thank you again for the excellent service. I will certainly recommend the Werner law firm to anyone seeking assistant with the state planning.

It was nice to speak with the attorney, Sam, that would be handling my case. Most firms you need to speak to an admin or they're just in a rush to get you signed up at exorbitant rates. Sam got right to the point and impressed me with his knowledge. And that fact that his rates are more reasonable made it a no-brainer.

Sam is a fighter and at the top of his game!
Very professional and Sam Dehbozorgi is an absolute fighter against these junk debt buyers. If you are facing a significant lawsuit you must go with Sam. These junk debt buyers are absolute crooks, and Sam knows how to attack these crooked organizations. Without hesitation reach out so they could immediately answer the complaint. Sam knows the legal process and no joke they picked apart my specific case and took it to them with absolute professionalism and understanding of CA consumer law.
Sam is amazing and would absolutely have him represent me anytime!

Mr. C Peters took care of my case with a clear strategy. He executed with precision and followed through with everything he promised when he first accepted my case. He always responded promptly, usually with in a few hours of an email, and phone calls schedule was always on time. Hire him, he will take good care of your case.

He is incredible! If you're in need of an attorney, Mr. C Peters is the one! I had hired him on for a case of mine that I don't need to get into but in short, my good nature was taken advantage of which resulted in litigation. If I had gone anywhere else, I don't think it would have worked out the same. I say that b/c, being in business for years prior to this problem arising, I'd hired many attorneys and I'd also usually end up firing them as well. They were useless, to say the least. Constantly arguing with my point of view, forgetful, billing me constantly but could never produce any meaningful bills. It turns out that one of them was actually a friends with the opposing side's attorney! Yeah, that worked out well. For those 2! Anyway, Mr. Peter's was there the entire time. He listened, was intelligent and kind to my money problems during the process. It was pure luck that I came across him but should I ever need anyone in the future, he's the one. Please do yourselves a favor and bring him on as your representation. An all around, wonderful human being!

Dustin Shamburg is an exceedingly hardworking, responsive, and kind man. I contacted his office after receiving a DUI, I was completely overwhelmed by the entire situation and felt completely paralyzed as what to do or what would happen from here. This was my first time ever needing legal counsel.
I knew within a few minutes of our talking that it only made sense to hire this firm. It became obvious that he has an immense amount of knowledge and experience in this arena and I'm so glad I engaged with this firm. He walked me through every step of the way and was extremely responsive every single time I contacted. They are also very flexible on payments, which is very helpful!!

Ryan is amazing. Getting scary letters from the IRS is not fun, and he helped to walk me through even worst case options so calmly that it helped me find my center and remember that even if the worst case was a reality, it was going to be okay. He’s not money hungry, he’s generous with his time, and is an all around great human to spend time on the phone with (in person I’m sure as well, my experience was just over the phone for now). He was also incredibly responsive and got things done at lighting speed, which these days is so precious and rare. 10/10, Highly recommend!!

My case was a credit card debt. I was sued in another state, they tried to enter the judgment in California. I made an appointment with Fitzgerald and Campbell, they explained to me the meaning of the law suit and made all research about the case and prepared a perfect strategic for the case and We WON. Then they appealed and We WON again. Let me tell you. You are in the BEST HANDS an Excellent law firm.

Greg has helped us so much with a really bad situation we were in. I can't even believe I am saying this about an attorney (no offense to attorneys but...) he is actually caring, helpful, and honest. He spent so much time listening to our circumstances and answering questions before we even retained him. I was so impressed by his knowledge and honesty, and compassion for our dire situation. He does not BS, sugar coat things, or make false promises, he is the real deal. If you are like me and look at reviews before hiring an attorney, I want you to know there is a reason why he has such great ratings on multiple review platforms, which is also why I called him in the first place. Hope this review helps someone find a great attorney when they need one!

Filing for bankruptcy was something i never thought I would have to do. I begin calling around to different firms looking for some help. I came across Kateryna Bilenka name and decided to give her a call. We spoke the same day and she explained everything to me and I decided to work with her. She was very professional and on top of the business. Whenever I had a concern, she reassured me that everything would be ok and it was. I would recommend everyone to work with the Bilenka firm.

I got through Chapter 7 bankruptcy successfully with the legal help from Attorney Cliff Bordeaux. In 4/2011, I received an official letter from United States Bankruptcy Court Central District of California to discharge all my declared debts. It was one of the happiest days of my life!
Attorney Bordeaux is professional, experienced, knowledgeable, detailed and thorough in handling my case. Throughout the entire bankruptcy process, whenever I had concerns, Attorney Bordeaux was there for me. He talked to me face to face in his office many times in the evenings and on Saturdays. Whenever I called or emailed Attorney Bordeaux with questions, he got back to me promptly. Before the hearing with the US Trustee, Attorney Bordeaux spent much time to thoroughly review all of the supporting documents. He offered solid advice to prepare me for the hearing with the US Trustee. On the hearing day, Attorney Bordeaux was in the room with me. He answered questions from the US Trustee when my mind drew blank. After the hearing, Attorney Bordeaux updated me on progress leading to a final decision from the US Trustee.
Attorney Bordeaux is by far the best. Thank you so much, Attorney Bordeaux, for walking by my side every step of the way throughout this bankruptcy process. I would not have done it without your help. I highly recommend Attorney Bordeaux to anyone who needs legal help to get through bankruptcy.

Look no further, Clifford Bordeaux is the best, the real deal. He charges $350 delivers $1,000's work. I was beyond lucky to have met him. This is an extremely knowledgeable attorney, excellent work ethics and a wonderful human being. He is so considerate, careful, keen to my specific situation, and with some quick wit. Clifford Bordeaux successfully protected my interest as a creditor and got the debtor' case dismissed. Not only that, he went the extra mile on the research work and strengthened my position permanently. Because of Mr. Bordeaux, I can finally take a breath. He is so good on all aspects beyond word. When the debtor's bankruptcy case ended, I hired him on the collection work. I just want to hire him on all the legal matters I encounter. One of the reviewers said he would bet his life on Clifford. That's exactly how I feel. We love him just like that. I had met and tried numerous lawyers before Clifford. They would add salt to your wound, ruin your life and make it worse. If you are reading this, stop looking, call his number, you would thank me for it.

David Zolkin helped my company through a chapter 11 restructuring. He was kind, considerate, and went above and beyond.
Is he $$$, yes. Does $$$ mean better? In this case, absolutely. We had 0 problems, mishaps, or difficulties with our case. It went smoothly. Beautifully. As beautiful as a giant mountain of stress can be.
The mountain turned into a hill. The hill into a plain. And finally, our company was able to make the much needed change with the freed up cashflow from the stay, and from the debt restructure.
If you're in doubt. Do it. I WISH I would have done it sooner. Don't be me. Just call.

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge two wonderful gentlemen, Rodney and Bruce Vosguanian. They were our attorneys who represented us on two separate occasions. I refer to them as our “attorneys” but in all honesty, they were our angels. They were a beacon of hope to my husband and I when our options appeared limited. Not only are Rodney and Bruce experts in what they do, they’re knowledgeable, helpful, honest, fair, always available and incredibly kind people. If you need an attorney, look no further!

Mr. Antico was like Superman for me!
The Price for the Service Mr. Antico provided was EXCELLENT! No complaints! I SAVED a SIGNIFICANT amount of money compared to several other attorneys in the area.
Sure, everyone's financial affairs are different, some people have more assets than others, but I think that I was treated more than fair for all of the work that Mr. Antico performed. With his help (and Call-Blocking from Spectrum Telephone) the BK Process went smooth and trouble free. I strongly recommend Mr. Antico to be YOUR BK Attorney! Thank you Sir!
After our first meeting I realized that I should wait a couple of months before filing my BK because I had received a SMALL (three zero's) insurance settlement within the past year and had given half to my brother to pay an earlier debt.
Mr. Antico explained that the Court could go after the money I had given to my brother and order HIM to pay it back to satisfy the Creditors... and if you know my brother... well, that would be a drama worthy of a Shakespearean tale!
To keep things simple I just waited until the year had passed and then he filed the bk and it went through with NO problems.
Here's another helpful tidbit of info... Mr. Antico's name starts with the letter "A", which means when you go to the BK Court in downtown L.A. (watch out for the human mud on the sidewalks down there - I had to dodge THREE piles in a two block walk!) your wait time to see the Judge is non-existent, as they always start with the "A" Attorneys. I feel sorry for the clients that have to wait for the F to Z last names.
Go with the Best in the Antelope Valley - Go with Mr. Antico!

Divorce is a difficult time and can also be quite expensive! I was trying to complete all the documents on my own, but wasn't feeling comfortable as they can be quite complicated.

Andrea's services were very affordable and she was able to find things I missed, making sure that the documents were accurate and the package was complete, providing step-by-step instructions on the path forward. Andrea was very proactive, quick to respond, compassionate, and was able to bring my case to conclusion quickly. I highly recommend Watkins Legal!

What a Debt Settlement Lawyer Can Do for You
A debt settlement lawyer specializes in helping individuals and businesses negotiate with creditors to reduce or eliminate unsecured debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and personal loans. These lawyers provide legal advice on debt relief options, represent you in negotiations, and protect your rights under consumer protection laws. By leveraging their expertise, a debt settlement lawyer can often secure more favorable terms than you might achieve on your own, potentially reducing the total amount owed and helping you avoid bankruptcy.
When Should I Hire a Debt Settlement Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a debt settlement lawyer in the following situations:
- Overwhelming Debt: If you're struggling to make minimum payments on your debts or are facing significant financial hardship, a lawyer can help explore options to reduce your debt burden.
- Creditor Harassment: If creditors or collection agencies are harassing you with frequent calls, letters, or threats, a lawyer can intervene to protect your rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA).
- Lawsuits from Creditors: If a creditor has filed a lawsuit against you for unpaid debts, a lawyer can represent you in court and negotiate settlements to prevent wage garnishment or asset seizure.
- Complex Debt Situations: If your debts involve legal complexities, such as co-signers, joint accounts, or disputed charges, a lawyer can navigate these issues effectively.
- Considering Bankruptcy: If you're contemplating bankruptcy but want to explore alternatives, a debt settlement lawyer can advise on whether debt settlement is a better option for your situation.
- Protecting Assets: If you have significant assets you wish to protect from creditors, a lawyer can help structure settlements to safeguard your property.
Hiring a lawyer early can maximize your chances of a favorable outcome and prevent legal missteps that could worsen your financial situation.
What Does a Debt Settlement Lawyer Do?
A debt settlement lawyer provides a range of services to help you manage and reduce your debts:
- Legal Consultation: Evaluates your financial situation, explains your rights, and advises on the best debt relief options, such as debt settlement, debt consolidation, or bankruptcy.
- Negotiating with Creditors: Communicates with creditors and collection agencies on your behalf to negotiate reduced settlements, lower interest rates, or extended repayment terms.
- Drafting Settlement Agreements: Prepares legally binding agreements that outline the terms of the settlement, ensuring that the creditor cannot pursue additional claims once the debt is settled.
- Protecting Against Creditor Harassment: Uses legal tools to stop abusive collection practices and enforces your rights under consumer protection laws.
- Representing You in Court: If creditors file lawsuits, the lawyer can defend you, potentially getting cases dismissed or negotiating settlements to avoid judgments.
- Financial Planning Advice: Provides guidance on budgeting, managing expenses, and rebuilding credit after debt settlement.
- Bankruptcy Alternatives: Helps you explore alternatives to bankruptcy, which can have long-term effects on your credit and financial opportunities.
How Are Debt Settlement Lawyers Paid?
Debt settlement lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Flat Fee: A set fee for specific services, such as negotiating with a single creditor or handling a straightforward settlement.
- Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case. Rates can range from $200 to $500 or more per hour, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
- Percentage of Savings: Some lawyers charge a fee based on a percentage of the amount they save you in the settlement. For example, if they negotiate a $10,000 debt down to $6,000, they might charge 25% of the $4,000 saved.
- Retainer Fee: An upfront payment from which the lawyer deducts fees as they work on your case. You may need to replenish the retainer if it is exhausted.
- Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable, allowing you to pay the fee over time.
It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the total cost and ensure it fits within your budget.

- Hourly Rates: Typically between $200 and $500 per hour. Total costs depend on the amount of time required to settle your debts.
