I had a very bad experience with these lawyers. I was hit by a pickup truck while crossing the street in the crosswalk with the pedestrian symbol flashing. The driver of the vehicle was making a left turn. My case was not resolved for five years. I am permanently handicapped as a result of this accident. These lawyers didn’t include all of my injuries. They charged me for my own lunch. The arbitrator Mr. Novello found me 25% at fault for crossing the street. I cannot understand this. I didn’t receive barely any compensation for my injuries. As a matter of fact, they received more money than I did. I am still being treated as a result of this accident. My advice to you would be do not choose these lawyers they will cause you nothing but grief.

I thank them so much for all their help in my situation. If have to, I will use them again. Thank you guys so much.

My partner and I were looking for someone to review our operating agreement. We reached out to Garibian Law via the online form on their website and received a response same day! Very quick response! Clear and helpful. Would definitely work with again.

Olivia helped me with a tenant landlord case. She was informative and patient with respect to my case. She was able to get me the best outcome for my case. extremely diligent in getting the results I needed.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Garibian Law firm to resolve issues both big and small on more than one occasion. I’ve been delighted with the professionalism and results this firm, and specifically Antranig Garibian, will provide. Couldn’t ask for a better experience or more attentive, professional service in a law firm. Highly recommend.

On June 28th, 2023, I contacted Olivia Gabriel, referred by the Philadelphia Bar Association due to a prior referral's communication issues. My case involved a tenant-landlord dispute, with me as the tenant. Unfortunately, my first impression during our 30-minute initial consultation, which I paid a referral fee for, was less than welcoming. Despite the time constraints, Olivia seemed more interested in talking than listening, repeatedly stating, "You are only entitled to a 30-minute call." I had to interrupt to share the details of my case, leaving me with the impression that she was trying to rush through our conversation. Despite this, Olivia did offer some advice, such as putting my rent money into escrow, which is the reason for the 1-star rating, that and the fact I can’t leave a 0-star review. When I mentioned sending her documents for review, she reluctantly agreed but made it clear she only cared about the time limit. After sending her the documents, she criticized the volume, again showing a lack of concern for my situation. When I inquired about the cost of filing a suit, she quoted a price of approximately $1,000 and suggested waiting until the end of my lease to include all issues. However, when I contacted her as advised, Olivia seemed unaware of my need to file a suit, asking about a court date. This miscommunication led to scheduling a call for September 18th at 5 pm. In preparation, I meticulously wrote an 8-page document detailing the violations and wrongdoings of my landlord, along with over 200 pages of supporting exhibits, along with an inquiry about payment and representation. To my surprise, Olivia responded by deeming, “This is not a one thousand dollars case” and requiring a deposit of $2,500, contradicting her previous quote. When the scheduled call time arrived, Olivia didn't call, and I had to reach out at 5:05 pm. Her response was hostile, blaming me for her delay, as she stated, “I was on the phone!” despite her being the one to select the date and time for our call. She did not let me know she was running late or otherwise preoccupied. During our conversation, I asked if she reviewed the documents I sent, even briefly, and she said, “No. You were only entailed to 30 minutes with me and that is up. I am not going to review anything you send me, especially since I am not getting paid for this.” Then proceeded to yell at me for having over 200+ pages of exhibits, stating, “Why do you have all of these pages!? Is it even necessary?” I said, “Yes, all of those pages showcase the emails and proof of all of the wrongdoings, as stated in my initial document. They would help my case. Again, I wanted you to have everything now so you can make a well-informed decision on if you are able to successfully take my case.” She then said, “Well, before you called me, I was on the phone. So, I will call you back in a moment”, then she abruptly hung up on me, and it has been more than 2 weeks without a callback. My interactions with Olivia Gabriel have left me with the impression that she prioritizes money over client communication. In comparison, a prior case with another firm required a $1,500 retainer and provided access to a whole team. Olivia operates as a one-person practice, yet her fees exceed those of larger firms with better client relations. Based on my experiences, I would advise others to save their time and money and look elsewhere for legal representation. Olivia's approach does not align with respectful and client-focused services. I believe the Philadelphia Bar Association should reconsider referrals to her, especially for tenant-landlord cases, which do not appear to be within her top 5 primary areas of expertise based on her Avvo profile. So why was she even referred to me in the first place?

I'm so thankful and grateful for the incredible effort Garibian Law put forth in a pursuit of a settlement and closure to my extremely long case. There legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. It is refreshing to find people that actually treat you like a person and not a case number. I couldn't have done it without them. 💯

Mr. Haberman stuck with my case after other lawyers thought it was a long shot or too much of their time. He got me fair compensation for what happened to me. He followed up on my calls and was very respectful when talking to me.

The whole team is wonderful I had Lisa Swartz is was very professional and explained everything threw the case Iam very pleased with outcome thank you so so much for everything lowenthal and abrams I would recommend too everyone

Stay away from Jacqueline Morgan. Just in for the money. Does not work for you to win your case.

Yesterday I scheduled a online consultation with Mr. Garibian for 6:15 am. This morning the consultation was cancelled via an email notification. I called the office to inquire about the cancellation. I was told to call back around 9am to speak to the receptionist. I called back to speak to the receptionist. She proceeds to tell me she doesn't handle online consultation. She did take my information and told me she would ask the attorney if he would handle my case. I was told if she didn't call me back that means no to representation. I'm new to this litigation world, is this the norm? No customer service. I guess it is a blessing in disguise. If they are too busy for a consultation, the attorney might be too busy to effectively ligate my case.

Lowenthal and Abrams are committed to protect the rights of their clients. That's why I'm committed to them.
