I consider myself lucky for having a defense attorney refer me to Noam Glick. Noam is a plaintiff attorney and he absolutely looked out for me. I was always able to hear it in his tone how he was working on trying to solve my case.
When I first was in touch with Noam, he took over one hour on the phone asking me questions to see how he can help me.
His patience in helping me out on a case that was a challenge from the start shows his determination. I was always able to speak, email and even text with him directly.
It was nice to have an attorney tell me how it is, what to expect and always having a plan on what can be done throughout the process. It was a great experience to have such a top notch and straight-forward attorney representing me and being very realistic.
No joke but he is a needle in a haystack. Regardless if he had not won my case, I would have highly recommended him. This review was written without Noam nor his staff requesting I write a review.
I cannot compare other attorneys but from stories I have heard, I'm very lucky. Not once did I have to go through anyone to communicate with Noam...within minutes to a maximum of two hours, I always heard back from him. The only exception when I did hear from legal attorney assistant is where I wanted to have my check sent to.
I appreciate everything Noam has done for me and he will always be my point of contact should I come across someone that needs him. Thank you!

I cannot recommend Allenby Law enough for their outstanding work on my estate planning. Attorney Dawn Allenby and her assistant Naomi Arana demonstrated exceptional professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. They guided me through creating my revocable living trust, Will, health directive, and power of attorney with patience and clarity, ensuring every aspect was addressed thoroughly.
They took special care to include all my properties, such as my townhouse in San Diego and my home in Oklahoma, in my estate planning portfolio. Their meticulous efforts have given me a comprehensive and well-organized plan, providing the peace of mind I need. I now feel confident that when the time comes, my family will know exactly what steps to take without facing any unnecessary financial burdens.
Dawn and Naomi’s dedication, expertise, and commitment to their clients’ needs truly set them apart. If you’re seeking top-notch legal assistance for your estate planning, look no further than Allenby Law. I am so grateful for their excellent service!

I highly recommend Allenby Estate Planning. They made the entire process seamless and stress-free, expertly guiding us through the process, including handling unique business and property interests that wouldn't have fit a cookie-cutter approach. Dawn provided a clear roadmap, setting expectations at each step, making everything easy. She also focuses on a plan for the long term, ensuring everything stays up-to-date and well-managed well into the future. Professional, attentive, and detail-oriented – a pleasure to work with!

My wife and I have been working with her oldest brother (85 yrs old) to help him with a Will and a Living Trust. For the past 3 years we have traveled from our home in Durand Mi. to San Diego to provide him with advice and provide any help he may need to get everything right. The more we worked the more complicated and confusing this procedure became, OMG were we Stumped. This year we decided we needed professional help. So, what do you do when your 2000 miles away and don't really know anybody in a big city like San Diego, GOOGLE IT! That's exactly what we did and came up with a bunch of names of attorneys that claim to be the best anywhere. We started making calls to see who we liked the best and would be able to take care of our issues. We left voice mails and asked to have someone contact us to set up a meeting. We encountered a few who were vague and after listening to what we needed really didn’t seem too interested. Then Jason, called us and we were so happy with his attitude and wiliness to complete the needed documents on a very short notice. Everyone in that firm seemed to want to help us get everything right, signed, and registered they even worked through the weekend. So, we could rest assured that we wouldn't be caught up in a nightmare with the probate courts. Thank you, Jason, and Ashley what a great feeling to know we made the right decision when we chose you

The team was amazing in helping us with our will and trust! They were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, supportive and patient with us as we figure out the best path forward to suit some of our very particular needs. It’s obviously not a fun or easy topic to discuss and they were so understanding of that giving us options and suggestions that could be relevant to us. And allowing us the time we needed to sort things out amongst our family. Sometimes we wouldn’t be able to resolve things easily so we would be at a standstill for a while between me and my husband but they were great about checking in regularly without creating any additional pressure. We also had some personal and particular road blocks that we come up against and Ashley was wonderful in giving us options and guidance around that. Both she and Jason were so kind and personable and professional. We had talked to several places before coming here and I’m so glad we did!

The day I entered this office I knew I landed in the right place. I was wrongfully terminated because I refused to allow the Resort I worked for to garnish my wages by illegally changing my time records. I felt broken from this situation but once I met Jenna, Amber, Arleen and the whole team they made me feel like I had the support I needed to fight back for what was right. I never once felt the need to question their opinion, strategy or decision, they always took the time to listen and give their advice. The team at ZHE Law gave me confidence and worked hard In my case, I am happy to say my case was settled! The amount of work this team put in on my behalf was worth every penny. I hope to never need their assistance again but if I do they are definitely the team I will call. Thank You everyone at ZHE, you all are amazing and do great work.

I was very lost and had no idea where to go or find the necessary help. Mr Farzad was very responsive immediately, he offered me help and explained my possibilities when unfortunately I was full of fear and also did not know my rights in marriage and in the country, since I am also an immigrant and English is not my first language. From the beginning Peter was very professional, understanding and patient, there were times when I was falling apart emotionally and felt that I could not continue with the process anymore and Peter always had a huge patience and words of encouragement for me to keep going. Peter does his job with great professionalism but also with empathy towards his clients, he is very good at fighting for what is fair, thus showing great ethics and commitment. I am very happy with the results, Peter fought and worked on every detail of the case and did not let himself be intimidated by the other party at any time. I infinitely appreciate all his help and I would not hesitate to recommend them or go to them again in the future if I need legal help. Thank you very much!

I worked with Norman Blumenthal for 2 years on wage-and-hour lawsuits. He is the best overtime wage employment law attorney I have ever seen in action. He knows how to aggressively litigate individual lawsuits and class action cases. He has the resources and experience to fight for employees in all industries from San Francisco to Los Angeles. If you are an employee in California who was cheated out of wages, Blumenthal, Nordrehaug & Bhowmik is the firm you want to call.

I worked with Kyle Nordrehaug and Jon Zacharias on a case concerning unpaid overtime wages. They were extremely knowledgeable about this matter. The attorney, Kyle, was very easy to talk with and knew exactly how to handle my case. They were very open about how they wanted to handle this, what the information I was providing was being used for, and also how the case was progressing. What's important to me is understanding the law; Kyle and his assistant, Jon, did an excellent job of explaining the law to me and how it related to my personal experience.

We hired Ms. Stratton to assist us with a contractor we hired to remodel our home. They tried to serve us a bill nearly 50% more than our original bid. This is not an unusual practice when it comes to home building, but these guys were hiding costs and doubling time and supplies unnecessarily. We were unable to see how they were coming to the amount of the final bill. Ms. Stratton took our case and reviewed all the documentation of the remodel, such as change orders, how they were provided, how they calculated their hours and supervision and, through her expertise, brought transparency and clarity to our case. She ended up uncovering change orders that were not written correctly or given to us in a timely fashion per the law. She also discovered that we were being billed at a 300% mark up over our original contract vs. doubling the cost and time as how the billing should have been done. We wouldn't have been able to successfully dispute these charges without her expertise in the laws of business. She maintained professionalism and respect for all sides during our dispute. We were very impressed by her and would highly recommend her.

Ms. Dupuy is a fantastic defense counsel! She has the capability to explain in detail and simple terms the terminology and process of any legal situation you are in. She is very intelligent and well informed. Based on my personal experience her greatest strength is her communication skills. During the time she was helping me she remained, consistent, kind, and she communicated promptly which was extremely helpful. I was extremely lucky to have found her!!

From the very beginning of the process, where I had a phone conversation with Stuart, we felt very confident that we had chosen the right attorney firm for our case. Later, when Juanita took over the responsibility for our case, and started interacting with us, the confidence and trust just kept growing each time we communicated with her. Finally, the actual process of meeting with Juanita in order to go over everything and finalize our case went extremely well. Both Juanita and Stuart demonstrated outstanding professionalism as well as expertise throughout the entire process.
In conclusion, my wife and I know exactly which attorney firm to contact for our next possible case.

While I never had the goal to hire a law firm to deal with an employment issue, will say that I feel fortunate to have ended up with Haeggquist & Eck. I called a few firms and the intake person here had the most in depth understanding of my case and quickly referred it to a lawyer for further review. I appreciate the fact that we are on the same page with this issue and work collaboratively. I am impressed by the quality of every person I have come in contact with. The communication is top notch - they have been able to quickly understand the nuances of my situation and translate it into the legal arena. Not only is the quality consistently high, every person I have come into contact with has been kind, respectful and caring. I highly recommend them due to the high standard and caring environment.

In January 2020, I had filed for a divorce. By the fall of 2021, my lawyer informed me she could no longer represent me. I needed a reputable, trustworthy lawyer that would not bail on me again.
In my online research, I found Dell'Acqua Law and left a note on the website. I did not expect to hear a response for 48 hours or so. The next day, Dawn Dell'Acqua and I had a virtual conversation! Dawn could see I was feeling vulnerable and broken. My marriage of 19 years was a complex case. My ex was not an easy person to deal with.
My worries dissipated quickly working with Dawn, Ariel Barbre, and the amazing office staff. They were professional yet personable. I was constantly informed of any new developments, consulted before any motions were made, tutored, then counseled to help me understand what was happening and why. Ultimately, I was reassured they had my best interest in mind again and again.
Prepping for court, they were meticulous. Rough drafts were sent to me to review before being submitted to the court to make sure all information and timelines were accurate.
In court, Ariel was legendary! She was organized, concise, and respectful to all those she addressed in the court room. Her presentation was perfectly professional and I could not have been happier with the results!
I highly recommend this "5-star" office to anyone who may be seeking trustworthy counsel to represent them and their case!

I spent 30 years in bondage to a child support court order that was obtained through deceit. Dell'Acqua Law was able to sift through 30 years of paperwork, additional court orders and false statements to uncover a truth that helped to release me from a fraudulent court order. I have been able to go forward with my career and life due to the diligent and professional work performed by the staff of Dell'Acqua Law. Words can not describe my appreciation for how this agency supported me and corrected a 30 year mistake. Thank you Dell'Acqua Law.

Anthony Pantoni was simply the most wonderful Attorney. He acted for me single-handedly, against a team of (19 !!), so called corporate high flyers (I am English, from the UK, and travelled to the US for trial). Anthony won my quite complicated case hands down, and achieved this, well prior to conclusion of the case (was settled during trial, in my favor).. He did so by very clearly, very dramatically, and very impressively, demonstrating to the opposition that there was no way he would not prevail, in my case. Indeed, he rather tortured the witnesses during depositions, and if you are fortunate enough to have him take your case, you will see all of this, for yourself. Tremendous.

Mr Drelich is an outstanding lawyer, who fought for me to receive a fair settlement. Matan gives his all to my case and was always available to talk with you. I had so many questions and Matan took the time to explain procedures, paperwork and terminology of the justice system. In addition, he took the time to research every aspect of my case and kept me informed the entire time. I’m so happy I made the call to his office and I will never be able to thank him enough.

Brian represented us against a large international corporation. After taking over the interaction with their representatives, he turned what was initially an ordeal for us, into a smooth and efficient process. All the while, it was a pleasure to communicate with him. Ultimately, he was able to get us a settlement far beyond what we had expected, in a very creative and smart way. We were impressed and delighted, and would happily work with Brian again, as well as recommend him to our friends.

I am delighted to share my positive experience working with Brian Russ, a remarkable trademark attorney. I recently sought assistance in registering a trademark and I can confidently say that Brian's services exceeded my expectations.
From the moment I contacted Brian, his expertise and knowledge in trademark law were evident. He guided me through the entire process with ease, providing clear explanations and answering all my questions along the way. Brian's professionalism and dedication were truly outstanding, making the entire experience hassle-free and efficient.

What a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful termination lawyer specializes in representing employees who have been illegally fired or laid off from their jobs. Wrongful termination occurs when an employer violates federal or state laws, employment agreements, or public policy when dismissing an employee. These lawyers help clients understand their rights, evaluate the legality of their termination, and pursue legal action to recover damages such as lost wages, benefits, and emotional distress.
If you believe you have been wrongfully terminated, a lawyer can guide you through the complex legal process, negotiate with your former employer, and advocate on your behalf to achieve a fair resolution.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Termination Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful termination lawyer if you have been fired under circumstances that may violate the law. Common reasons include:
- Discrimination: If you were terminated based on your race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age (40 or older), disability, or genetic information, this may constitute illegal discrimination under federal laws like Title VII of the Civil Rights Act or the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
- Retaliation: If you were fired for reporting illegal activities, discrimination, harassment, or for participating in an investigation or lawsuit against your employer, this may be illegal retaliation.
- Violation of Employment Contract: If you have an employment contract that outlines specific terms for termination and your employer breaches these terms, you may have a claim for wrongful termination.
- Public Policy Violations: If you were terminated for reasons that violate public policy, such as refusing to engage in illegal activities, taking time off for jury duty, or exercising your legal rights (e.g., taking family medical leave), a lawyer can help.
- Whistleblower Protection: If you were fired after reporting your employer's illegal activities to a government agency (whistleblowing), you may be protected under specific laws.
Hiring a lawyer promptly is crucial, as there are strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing wrongful termination claims.
What Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Do?
A wrongful termination lawyer provides various services to help you pursue a claim against your former employer:
- Case Evaluation: Assess the facts of your termination to determine if your employer violated any laws or breached your employment contract.
- Legal Advice: Explain your rights under federal and state laws and advise on the best course of action.
- Filing Claims: Assist in filing a complaint with appropriate government agencies, such as the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) or state labor departments, if required before suing.
- Negotiation: Engage in settlement discussions with your former employer to seek compensation without going to court.
- Litigation: Represent you in court if a lawsuit is necessary, presenting evidence, questioning witnesses, and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Documentation and Evidence Gathering: Help collect and organize necessary documents, such as employment contracts, company policies, performance reviews, emails, and witness statements.
- Protecting Against Retaliation: Advise you on how to handle any retaliation or further adverse actions from your former employer.
How Are Wrongful Termination Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful termination lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:
- Contingency Fee: Many work on a contingency basis, meaning they only get paid if you win or settle your case. Their fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive, usually ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly Rate: Some lawyers charge an hourly rate, which can range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on experience and location.
- Retainer Fee: A retainer is an upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. Once the retainer is exhausted, you may need to replenish it.
- Flat Fee: For specific services, such as reviewing a severance agreement, a lawyer might charge a flat fee.
It's important to discuss payment arrangements during your initial consultation to understand how fees and expenses will be handled.
How Much Does a Wrongful Termination Lawyer Cost?
The cost varies based on the complexity of your case, the lawyer's experience, and the fee arrangement:
- Contingency Fees: If you win or settle, the lawyer's fee will be a percentage of the award. For example, if you settle for $100,000 and the contingency fee is 30%, the lawyer receives $30,000.
- Hourly Rates: Total costs depend on the number of hours worked. A straightforward case might require 20 hours ($4,000 to $12,000), while complex cases can exceed 100 hours.
- Additional Expenses: Be aware of other costs such as court filing fees, costs for depositions, expert witness fees, and administrative expenses, which may be billed separately.
Always request a written fee agreement detailing all potential costs.
