Gitara Spinks How do I begin? If one is contacting an attorney, its safe to say that person is experiencing a difficult time. This was me. I was not confident, sad and living in a state of shock. I looked at every angle, I could not find what I did wrong and whats more, all of the angles showed that I was doing right and helping my community. I had been wrongfully terminated and needed help. Thank all that is good for Venardi Zurada LLP!! I had a hard time expressing and communicating exactly what had happened but Martin Zurada knew what questions to ask and how to help me organize my feelings and words without asking me to change one thing! The way Mr. Zurada assessed my situation and was able to thoughtfully communicate with me while being straight up with no fluff was remarkable. From the beginning it was clear that my case, if he even decided to take it, would be complex and not easy by any means. He took it!! And the whole time as much as I believed in him, he believed in me! I suppose these types of things are easier when you have the truth on your side...maybe? I do know that Martin Zurada and his team had the knowledge and skill to unfurl the scope and nuances of that truth for all involved to see. I would recommend Venardi Zurada LLP in a heartbeat! I cant express how thankful I am to Mr. Zurada for taking and WINNING my case. I did not know what I wanted, I did not have a number in my mind for recovery, I just wanted the outcome to show that what happened to me was wrong and for those responsible to think twice before doing it to someone else! Martin Zurada got this for me and my family!

Mara Powers I felt confident and supported throughout my criminal case with Amin Law. They were able to provide strategic guidance and representation to achieve a positive outcome.

Giselle Moreno My family and I were in desperate need of help and direction with a civil suit case. We contacted every Bay Area legal aid we could think of and were hitting a dead end every time as very few folks help with Civil Law if you are low income or without income. Thankfully we found Anuar, associated with BALI & Seven Hills Law Firm, who was kind enough to talk us through the steps of our case with respect and care. He was able to guide us in the right direction and it was the first time we felt a glimpse of hope. For that we are so grateful.

Tomiko Sharpnack After our wonderful experience with Kyle and De Castroverde I just had to write a review. My sister-in-law had an urgent immigration matter. My brother referred me to De Castroverde. So, we called De Castroverde Law and they were extremely responsive and helpful. They gave our family a huge sense of relief and understanding. Kyle was warm and professional on top of being extremely knowledgeable. I would recommend him and his firm without reservation to anyone who needs immigration help.

Brandon Martin Clayton is an amazing lawyer, no doubt about it. He is very passionate about his work and goes above and beyond for his clients. I recently had Clayton represent me, and I couldnt be happier with the outcome. Not only did he help me avoid serving time, but he showed that he truly cares for his clients. He always made time to check in with me during the process. Clayton handled himself very professionally in the courtroom and it always felt like I was walking in with a heavy hitter when I had an appearance. I would highly recommend Clayton to anyone in need of legal representation. Hes the best there is in my opinion and if I was to ever need an attorney again Im going straight to Clayton

Autumn Amick The Armstrong Law firm is great. I was worried that no one would take my case, but they really spent a lot of time working to learn about my case and give me the best representation possible. They were also very creative and aggressive in coming up with all the legal theories and angles to support claims for my case and maximize value. I was very apprehensive about dealing with an attorney but they were the ultimate professionals. They also really care about their clients. I highly recommend them to all employees as well as victims who need help.

Simon W I want to start off by saying I RARELY ever leave reviews but the service I received today was so outstanding, I feel obligated to let people know about my interaction with attorney Givelle Lamano. I just got off the phone with her an hour ago and I’m incredibly grateful to have had a 45 minute consultation with her. From the start, she was warm, patient, and easy to talk to — someone who truly listens and cares. She made sure I felt understood and supported throughout the entire process, which made a very stressful time much easier to navigate. I have spoken to other lawyers prior to calling her and I did not get this type of excellent service. What really stood out was her honesty. After learning about my situation, Givelle actually told me that I probably didn’t need to hire a lawyer in my specific case unless I wanted that extra reassurance. That kind of integrity is rare, and it immediately showed me she wasnt in it for the money — she genuinely wanted what was best for me. She took the time to explain everything clearly and gave me all of my options without pressure. Her passion for helping people and her deep knowledge of criminal defense made me feel confident and at peace, whether I moved forward with legal representation or not. If you’re looking for a criminal defense attorney who is compassionate, trustworthy, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Givelle Lamano. She’s one of a kind. I would give Givelle Lamano a 10 star rating if I could, but unfortunately it caps out at 5 stars! Thank you again for everything Givelle!

Ingrid Chávez I had an excellent experience working with Martin Caraves. They were professional with there team, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in detail so I could fully understand my options. Communication was clear and timely, and I always felt that my case was in good hands. I truly appreciate their dedication and the results they achieved. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs legal assistance.

Shane Barnard Colbys knowledge of estate planning is only matched by his compassion for his clients. He is thoughtful, patient, and detailed in his approach and ensures his clients are heard, their concerns are addressed, and their wishes are memorialized in their estate plans. I refer clients to Colby without hesitation as I know his clients will receive unparalleled advocacy and service. As a fellow attorney, Ive had the opportunity to work with him on multiple matters and have the utmost respect for him, his practice, and his firm.

Steve Powers I highly recommend Devin Coyle. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and approachable—every conversation has been insightful and reassuring. He takes the time to listen and always offers clear, thoughtful advice. I’m truly grateful for his support and expertise.

Nedenia Kennedy I had the unexpected pleasure with this firm that took to resolution what others might dismiss as a poorly documented fall in a large store. They took my case seriously and systematically guided me through documentation steps to illuminate the facts. They then proceeded to make and win a case without requiring additional support from me. I received ample compensation I hardly expected, and was and remain more than grateful for their great service. I highly recommend the Choi Law Firm and its great team!

Jose Herrera They have been efficient and worked quickly through my case. A lot of effort was put all the time and made sure all questions were answered. Highly recommend this office!

Sergio Mello I won! Thats the bottom-line. If Franco Munoz takes your case, youre on the best path to win. Just follow their recommendations. They are very professional, well staffed, experienced and responsive. Highly recommended.

Iesha Barnes I recently had the pleasure of working with my attorney, and I cant express enough how amazing he was throughout the entire process. From the very first meeting, he demonstrated such compassion and understanding, making me feel comfortable and supported. He took the time to listen to my concerns and answered all my questions with patience. His sweet demeanor made what could have been a stressful experience much more manageable. He was always available to provide updates and guidance, which truly alleviated my anxiety. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the law, but he also genuinely cared about my well-being. I felt like I had someone in my corner who was fighting for me, and that made all the difference. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal assistance. He is not just an attorney; he is a remarkable advocate who truly goes above and beyond for his clients. Thank you for everything!

Lily Torres The worst experience and I paid a lot of money! I wish I could get my back because in the end I ended up just filing what took them forever to do with my paperwork took almost a year. Not organized and just need more help on speaking with your paying client. Another problem I had was they were always changing my lawyer. So I would have to go over my case over and over. I would call them to get updates since they wouldnt contact me. Save your money dont go here its the worse I wish I could get my money back.

Philip Johnson I sought out legal advice regarding a long-time issue with my apartment’s elevator. You see, it’s always broken. And the permit is out of date. I’ve tried for years to get them to replace the elevator but it seems they’ve made a business decision to never replace it. So my neighbors and I suffer for it, frequently. I recently decided I’ve had enough. I was angry. So I called Tobener to get guidance on how to fight back. They answered on the second ring and a lovely intake member got my basic info down. A couple hours later that day, an attorney called me back. Her name is Iris Wagner. She actually listened to what I had to say and shared my fire to do something about it. She looked into the issue and just one day later, called me back with a thorough analysis of my options. She talked me out of the more aggressive approaches, which was smart because she helped me see the potential shortcomings of my considered course of action. Instead we found more impactful, less risky, options which I am now pursuing. I felt heard, cared about and educated. Iris Wagner is a sensational lawyer and her team is clearly operating smoothly. I’ll add too, they were the only firm out of three to call me back! I give this firm my FULL ENDORSEMENT

Kennedy Rogers My experience has been great so far they’ve answered all questions. Everything that I’ve needed. It has been taken care of. I would encourage anyone to sign up and work with them if they have need.

Harjit sandhu I worked with Rabin and Aaron Palley. They both were super attentive and took care of pretty much everything fairly quick. I had no issues at all during my time with them and they are both intelligent lawyers. They took care of me liked family. Overall had a great deal and the case was successful.

MAHDER TUBE ማሃደር ቲዪብ I was injured 3 years ago and I chose the law office of Weltin Sterb & Weltin workers compensation law office. They always reminded me for my appointment, and David was on top of my case and fought for me from the beginning up to the end. I recommend using this law firm and choosing David as your lawyer.

Jenny Patel Jonathan Bornstein knows the law and he is willing to review and listen to what the important. I am dealing with an eviction thats been ongoing and he pretty much reviewed and told me what steps to take. I cant thank him enough for hearing my case and acting upon it. Its rare to come across people who genuinely care and will be willing to give a second review.
