DO NOT HIRE THIS FIRM – GROSS NEGLIGENCE AND EXTREME OVERBILLING
If I could give Aldi Law Firm zero stars, I would. As a small business owner, I trusted them to defend me in a case, but it turned into a nightmare. They extremely overbilled me for work they clearly never did, fabricating tasks to inflate their invoices. They even had the audacity to threaten to stop working on my case if I didn’t pay their outrageous bills within 10 days.
The worst part? After months of paying their exorbitant fees, I hired a new lawyer and discovered that the Plaintiff’s attorney had no idea I even had representation—Aldi Law Firm never contacted them. This is gross negligence and an insult to any client who expects their lawyer to actually do their job.
Their actions caused me months of extreme emotional distress and financial strain, as they took advantage of me during an already difficult time. This firm is unethical, unprofessional, and, frankly, a disgrace to the legal profession. When I advised them the plaintiffs attorney didn’t even know I had representation they ignored my email. Like most emails sent to them. They never update you and send you to a portal that rarely works for updates. My new attorney was completely shocked at the gross negligence of Adli Law.
Aldi Law Firm should be disbarred for their conduct. Avoid them at all costs unless you enjoy being overcharged for absolutely nothing!

Do Not Do Business with this firm!!! No knowledge of construction or contract law!!!
I hired this firm on September 18th to represent me in a case of a dispute between me and my contractor who didn't finish building my pool and disappeared. Pretty straight forward case for anyone who have done any construction / contract law. This firm charged me $5,000 retainer and started communication with me explaining how complicated my case is. They kept sending me bills and kept explaining that the case is complicated. By November, Nothing was filed and I've been charged almost $3,000 out of my retainer. Frustrated I called Dr. Adli and left him a message expressing my feelings. They were doing the research on my dime. I asked to stop the representation and return the rest of my retainer. They replied with a copy of the complaint ready to be filed with the court and charged me additional $1500 for it. The complain they prepared and charged me for was absolutely useless as the contract had an arbitration clause and all they needed to do to start the process was initiating the arbitration.

If you’re a creative, especially in film in LA, find a law group that knows how to handle a contract and negotiate things in favor of their clients.
I’ve been an author for 12 years, and I would not recommend at all.

This attorney is a scam. After the nterview he has predetermined your claim for a fast win. He has installed doctors to lie for you if need be. Once you hire an attorney while in appeal, you can fire him like I did. But this lawyer wouldn’t leave. He was a failure at my appeal. The judge said she would deny the whole appeal but she remand it. From that point I never seen him again. I fought my appeal writing letters to the judge, veterans counsel, , the bar association answering my on C&p’s They are still in operation because like me once the contract is signed just as in the military you are held to it. Just find another one. It many!!The government g a v e him 25%of 33% he was try to take. Over $$100.000 folks for nothing. Hoorah!!!!

He did for me what five different Veterans Service Organizations could not do for me. This in spite of the overwhelming evidence the VSO's had in my favor. Mr. Jahizi used the same evidence and turned everything around for me, he made things happen and made this veteran, a believer, in that there is hope for us Veterans and it is in Mr. Oliver Orod Jahizi. May you continue in your quest on helping other veterans attain what you did for me and God Bless you!

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.
- Preparing for mediation: Reviewing the facts of the case, gathering necessary documents, and advising you on potential resolutions.
- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:

Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:

Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -

How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?

Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
