I am very pleased with my experience working with the whole team at Aharoni Business Law. After engaging the firm for the purpose of bringing on a new partner, they were quickly able to discern and draft the documents I needed. I can undoubtedly say that their work is thorough and that Jackie is tremendously responsive to questions and concerns. I've had previous experiences with other attorneys during which I've been met with either incompetence or condescension. With Jackie though, I felt that she listened and took the time to truly dissect the complexity of our legal situation(s). Her desire to help me further my own business goals and build a long-standing relationship with me (and my business), left me feeling beyond thrilled with her work. I would (and do) recommend Aharoni Business Law to all of my peers!

Devin is hardworking and very helpful. I highly recommend him if you need a lawyer. He spends over one hour with me during our initial phone call consultation and then another hour+ when he interviewed me in his office. He also would return my calls and emails immediately. I think frankly this is one of the few lawyers that I would trust with something as serious as my legal issues. He is a very smart confident trustworthy person.

I have been licensed to practice law in California since 1980 and I have served as a Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee for USDOJ for ten years. Jim Hand has served as my attorney in a very complicated case involving the misconduct of developers whose actions led to the bankruptcy of one of the debtors who were assigned to me. Jim is a brilliant, thoughtful, and affable attorney whose preparation for the case was incomparable. His exceptional performance in court, and his command of the facts and nuances of the case resulted in a multi-million dollar recovery and a strong decision in our favor from one of the most senior and respected members of the Santa Clara County bench. Jim is an exceptional lawyer. And a "good guy".

I recommend Vincent Tong at Tong Law to anyone dealing with an employment related matter. I appreciated Vincent and his team for their responsiveness and accommodation. I reached out and was able to get an appointment on the same day! During our call, Vincent took the time to listen to my situation, helped to educate me on what my rights were and what options were available, and answered all of the questions that I had. I was thoroughly satisfied with the guidance and expertise from Tong Law, and highly recommend them to anyone looking for help with an employment related issue.

John Hill isn't stable to help you with your legal problems. He is barely there mentally. He doesn't have POA for his own affairs. His nephew Micheal Hill is POA. I was his live-in caregiver, assistant, trainer helping continuously for 13 months. I worked for him every single day for the entire time. NO VACATION, NO DAYS off for a whole year. That tells you what kind of hypocrite he is. He is in such cognitive decline, it is unimaginable that he can "practice" law. When I requested a vacation after exhausting myself he hired someone for cheaper and I was asked to leave under threat because he blamed me for reporting financial crimes I uncovered while on the job . I've been trying to collect back pay and overtime that is owed to me and wouldn’t even return my calls. I had to sue him to collect 6 months of overtime. I've never been treated so poorly and insignificantly by a client that I dedicated my life to. Nobody in his immediate family came to help him even one day. That tells you what kind of man he is.

I cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional service provided by Florence Ndedi throughout my journey towards obtaining DACA, permanent residence, and ultimately, US citizenship.
Florence guided me meticulously through every step of the process, from compiling the necessary documentation to preparing for the citizenship interview. Her attention to detail was remarkable, ensuring that all paperwork was submitted accurately and on time.
What sets Florence apart is her genuine compassion and dedication to her clients. She took the time to understand my personal circumstances and addressed all my concerns with patience and empathy. Her clear communication kept me informed at all times, and I always felt confident that my case was in capable hands.
Thanks to Florence's expertise, I am now a proud US citizen. Her commitment to justice and her clients' well-being is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Florence to anyone seeking reliable legal assistance in immigration matters. She is not just a lawyer; she is an advocate who genuinely care about changing lives for the better.

Mr. Haley has seen me through a personal injury case that took us close to three years to resolve. He was always responsive, gave me his honest opinion, and I always felt that he had my best interest at heart. He prepared me for all meetings with opposing counsel and supported me through all stages of the process. Last but not least, he went to the bat for me with insurance representatives. He clearly is very experienced and has many valuable contacts in the field. I could not have asked for better representation. Thank you!

Mr. Haley took the time to respond my email and answer my questions in a professional manner. I sent my information to Mr. Haley regarding my incident, and he said he would review the information and get back to me if he thought that I had a valid case.

My experience with Mr. Shock was the worst legal experience of my life.
I experienced neglect, breach of confidence, and laziness.
Just 13 days before a trial, he had still failed to get my medical records, and the matter at hand was a personal injury lawsuit.
He said that if we went to trial, I would be personally liable for $50,000, payable to the defense. And I was in the car that got rear-ended in a nasty accident.
For any competent attorney, this case would have been a slam dunk.

What a Medical Malpractice Lawyer Can Do for You
A medical malpractice lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, or hospitals. These lawyers assist in cases where a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice cases can involve misdiagnosis, surgical errors, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and other forms of medical negligence.
If you or a loved one has suffered harm due to improper medical treatment, a medical malpractice lawyer can help you understand your legal options, file a lawsuit, and pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages.

- Surgical errors: Harm resulting from surgical mistakes such as operating on the wrong site, leaving instruments inside the body, or performing unnecessary procedures.
- Medication errors: Injuries caused by prescribing the wrong medication or dosage, or mistakes made by pharmacists in dispensing drugs.
- Birth injuries: Injuries to a newborn due to medical negligence during labor and delivery, such as failing to perform a timely C-section or improper use of delivery instruments.

- Inadequate follow-up or aftercare: Suffering due to lack of proper monitoring or care after a medical procedure, leading to complications.
- Hospital or nursing home negligence: Harm caused by the negligence of hospital staff, nurses, or administrators who failed to provide adequate care.

- No upfront costs: You do not pay any legal fees unless the lawyer successfully recovers compensation on your behalf.
- Case expenses: Costs for expert witnesses, medical record retrieval, and court fees may be deducted from your settlement or award in addition to the lawyer's fee.
Always discuss the fee arrangement during your initial consultation to understand your financial obligations.
