My experience with Anton Vialtsin was exceptional. I was facing serious felony charges and thankfully with Mr.Anton Vialtsin was able to get my case dismissed. He explained everything to me in detail and terms I could easily understand, I left feeling more at ease after our first meeting. Mr.Anton Vialtsin experience, expert knowledge of the law and the legal system was truly illustrated by the way he handled my case, and excellent support, guidance, and personal care he gave me during a very challenging time. If you are looking for a Great Lawyer, I highly recommend Lawstache Law Firm.

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!

Noam is my hero. I was faced with unanticipated legal troubles and called 30+ attorneys before finding Noam. The case was emotional and sensitive, but Noam was supportive and respectful, minimizing distress for me.
He found solutions to problems quickly and was incredibly easy to communicate with. He was pragmatic in setting expectations, but also empowered me to fight for justice. Despite overwhelming obstacles, Noam achieved an unexpectedly favorable outcome for me. I'm so grateful that I had Noam on my side.

Noam was referred to me from a close friend. He was very clear about setting objectives and staying on task. He was timely in all communications and made sure to clearly explain everything along the way. Noam was flexible and creative when needed and executed against a tricky timetable with a favorable outcome. Most importantly, he continuously walked a line between aloof pragmatism and empathy that worked for me.

Frank Clowney was recommended by a San Diego lawyer friend of mine when I had some legal concerns at work. That turned-out to be one of the best recommendations in my life. He advised-me accurately and provided documentation, feedback and followed-through to completion. All-in-all I'm much better-off since I met Frank.

Frank Clowney is an excellent attorney and has the respect of judges within the profession as evidenced by a judges comment as we appeared before him for arbitration. The judges first comment was "You have a good one here", referring to Frank Clowney's reputation in appearing before him. His next comment was equally telling. "How much do you want" in response to settling the arbitration case.

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!!

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.

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.

I have never filed for bankruptcy and Lennie Alzate and John Varley were very helpful. Thanks to them, I received the result I was needing and wanting; I was issued a discharge on my chapter 7 case. They were friendly, knowledgable and efficient throughout the entire start to end process. I even felt prepared with possible questions and answers for my court hearing. They made my experience painless as possible and they delivered what was promised. I am forever grateful for them.

I can't say enough to the professionalism of Mellman and Mellman. From the very beginning, they were considerate and understanding of our situation. We had open and honest conversations regarding our case, through prompt phone calls and emails, which we deeply appreciated.
We are also extremely grateful to Ms.Sarah Shankel, Associate Attorney, who worked tirelessly for our family. She helped us to resolve our case in a fair manner. We will always, always be indebted to her.
So if you are looking for a law firm with heart and the desire for justice, call Mellman and Mellman. You will not be disappointed.

I had been in law enforcement for thirty-five years before retiring in 2014 and have owned a New Jersey Private investigation firm since 2016. Early this Spring, I needed to find a California Private Investigator in order to assist me in conducting a multi jurisdictional investigation.
I received multiple recommendations from my colleagues in New Jersey that John Munoz owner of Trusted Eye Investigations was the go to investigator in Southern California. Following the advice I was given I reached out to John and immediately could tell he was a cut above many investigators I had ever worked with
Over our three month investigation found John was professional, knowledgeable in investigations as well as being able to think outside the box. John is determined to do a good job and never seems to get tired.
I suggest if your in need of a private investigator, at minimum you should give John a look, you are gonna like what you see.

I recommend Evan Gould. He is a thoughtful and pragmatic attorney. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. He considers the nuances of your case. He would work hard to try the best he can but gives you realistic potential outcomes. He is not just out to take your money. I found him to be very trustworthy.

Before I hired Haeggquist & Eck, LLP, I interviewed five of the top Employment law firms in San Diego. Haeggquist & Eck was the firm that spent the most time with me before I hire them. They wanted to make sure they responded to all my questions and I understood the process that awaited me ahead. I am so grateful they represented me. They were always very promptly at communicating any case updates and they always got back to me right away whenever I had questions. I have no family in the United States and I felt very lonely at the beginning of my legal process, however, Haeggquist & Eck truly made me feel like I had somebody knowledgeable, caring and with a lot of experience on my side. One of the law firm's partners came to my house to get to know me better and to assure me that I really matter to them. Also, they provided a therapy counselor to go over empowerment exercises with me. This exercise really helped me since I was feeling pretty low due to the lost of my job. I believe the outcome of my case was excellent due to the persistency, strategy, great care and great experience of Haeggquist & Eck, LLP. I think this firm is very inclusive and I would recommend it to anyone and to all my dear friends and family. I am a Hispanic woman, and I felt very embraced. Thank you so much Haeggquist & Eck, LLP for all great work and care. Special thanks to Amber Eck, Sarah Pike and Jill Kleinman.

I highly recommend this law firm if you’ve been harassed or need support from an illegal work situation.
I have worked with this firm on two separate occasions, unfortunately, as their work is in high demand.
Not only do they win most of their cases, they are fearless and skilled. No client is too big or too small. They take justice seriously, and their all-female team will hear you and believe you - something you won’t get at most firms. They helped me settle a case out of court, saving me the pain of a public trial, but at the same time, helped me negotiate a fair settlement.Call them, you won’t regret it.

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.

Despite facing one of the largest corporations in the world, Justin and Jared stood resolute and fearless, embodying the very essence of bravery and commitment to justice.
Throughout the legal proceedings, Jared and Justin demonstrated not only their exceptional legal acumen but also a deep sense of empathy and friendship that has greatly endeared them to me. Their readiness to confront formidable challenges and navigate complex legal landscapes was nothing short of inspiring. These are unique and special individuals—the kind of individuals you want with you in your foxhole during the most intense battles and scariest of times.
Although the outcome was not entirely in our favor, the measure of their success is not merely found in the verdict, but in the relentless spirit and boundless energy they brought into advocating for me and my case. Their sacrifices, grit and devotion did not go unnoticed, and their steadfast dedication continues to resonate with me and all who have the privilege of knowing them.
Justin, Jared and the whole Walker Law team are not just my attorneys; they have become my honored allies, friends and trusted advisors. Their profound commitment to their clients and the cause of justice makes them truly commendable and deserving of the highest praise. Before, during and after trial, Justin Walker displayed the most genuine and heartfelt concern for my well-being and the well-being of my family. He did so even when it would have been understandable, reasonable and justified to instead only focus on his own well-being or that of his team members and family.
I love the individuals I’ve been privileged enough to spend time with during this journey. I thank God that Justin, Jared, Lorrie and their team have come into my life. I recommend Walker Law to anyone seeking the very highest level of legal expertise and advocacy. Their professionalism and integrity are exemplary, and they represent the best of what the legal profession has to offer.

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.
