When I've tried calling and asking to speak to someone, I'm immediately transferred to voicemail or my number is screened and directly sent to voicemail. If the business is going under, I'd rather someone JUST SAY THAT. What a disappointing way to handle a business. I'd say "don't work with them" but in all honesty, I don't think anyone would ever get back to your inquiry anyway.

Although I am not an expert in probate, I observed that their team handled the case inefficiently,…read moreboth in terms of cost and time. As the buyer, this inefficiency did not directly impact me since I was not in a rush to close escrow, but it certainly added unnecessary costs to the estate. When it came to the confirmation hearing, no one from their firm physically appeared in court, and the attorney who called in seemed disorganized as he answered several questions incorrectly which was embarrassing for his client. While the firm may be capable of handling general estate planning and straightforward cases, I would advise seeking counsel elsewhere for complex probate litigation issues.

I initially had a positive impression of this firm. My consultation with Mr. Chiao went well. He…read moreclearly explained my legal options, came across as warm and earnest, and made me feel comfortable retaining the firm. Unfortunately, once my case began, serious organizational and communication issues emerged. Although the complaint itself was well written, it was filed with the wrong court and contained an incorrect address. I was never informed of this mistake and had to discover it on my own. Correcting the issue required a change of venue, which cost me significant time and money for an error that was not mine. Communication throughout the case was inconsistent. At times, staff were responsive and reassuring; at other times, follow-up emails went unanswered and seemed to fall through the cracks. When I informed the firm that the opposing party was making threatening communications, my concerns did not appear to be taken seriously. After deciding to retain new counsel, I was surprised by how aggressively this firm interacted with my new attorney during the transition. Even more concerning, when my case files were transferred, I was mistakenly sent documents belonging to a different client. This raised serious concerns about their internal controls and confidentiality practices. I was also charged approximately $600 for work the firm claimed had been completed but which was never included in the file transfer. When I requested a refund, I was told the work had been done and that I would need to absorb the cost, despite having to pay my new attorney to redo it. Overall, this firm's lack of organization and efficiency ended up costing me more time, money, and stress than necessary. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend shopping around for other firms, even if they are located outside the Pasadena area.

Based on what others described, I expected a firm that would be attentive, supportive, and genuinely invested in helping me finally create my trust to protect myself and my family. Unfortunately, my experience was nothing like the reviews made it seem. First, for the amount this firm generally charges to create a trust, I truly expected more guidance and support, especially when it came to helping with the administration of my mom's trust so that I could move forward with creating my own trust and avoid any legal issues down the line. Instead, after the initial phone interview, I was left feeling like I had to figure out much of it on my own and actually felt more confused than before. The most disappointing part was the lack of real connection and communication. I never felt like the attorney truly listened to my concerns or made a real effort to understand what I was trying to accomplish. Toward the end of the call, it honestly started to feel like I was wasting his time because I saw no genuine effort or willingness to actually help. I also expected at least some kind of follow-up or check-in a few days after the initial call to help build trust and a relationship, but that never occurred. Ultimately, this was my personal experience, and yours may vary. In the end, this firm simply was not the right fit for me, so I'll continue my search and look elsewhere.

David Dijulio and Arminé Barsegyan are unprofessional and unethical. Consider seriously whether you…read moreshould hire this law firm. On January 19, 2022 I had a $250 consultation meeting with Arminé Barsegyan to inquire on how to evict a current tenant of ours who has been harassing, terrorizing, and threatening our other tenants in our rental property. I explained to her that we did not know what we were doing and needed help because our tenant is disturbing the peace and safety of our home and adversely affecting our other tenants who live there During the meeting I went over our issues with our tenant. I also asked multiple times if Ms. Barsegyan was sure she can evict our tenant during the eviction moratorium. Ms. Barsegyan told us with all the evidence I presented that we have a good case to evict our tenant. On February 2, 2022, The Dijulio law group sent us a $1500 retainer agreement for their help to evict our tenant. I thought I'd get the help she promised in the consultation meeting, but once I paid the $1500 it was impossible to get any thing done and get in touch with Ms. Barsegyan. On February 10, 2022 Ms. Barsegyan finally sent me a 24 our notice of periodic property inspection and instructions to post on my tenants room door. On February 11, 2022. I attempted to perform the property inspection, however our tenant outright refused. I then called Ms. Barsegyan, and she told me she couldn't evict for denial of entry, and there was nothing to do. Later that day my father called Ms. Barsegyan and she explained to my dad that she couldn't do much and that we had to file and Restraining Order to try to get our tenant out. When my dad asked for help with the restraining order she then told my dad they would CHARGE ANOTHER RETAINER for them to help us with the restraining order. My dad not pleased with that asked to speak with Mr. Dijulio, and She told my dad that Mr. Dijulio was going to call him the following Monday (2/14/22). On February 17, 2020, after multiple attempts of trying to reach the Dijulio law firm, Mr.Dijulio finally called my father and told my dad that they were not able to evict our tenant. We terminated the retainer after that conversation, and asked for a refund because they didn't do anything to help us, however, Mr. Dijulio refused saying they used all of the $1500. On March 3, Mr. Dijulio sent me a threatening email. He claimed that we tried to evict our tenant for being black -- which he knew was a lie, as we were evicting our tenant for physically threatening others in the house. Mr DiJulio then threatened to take us to court for an online review my dad posted about his firm. He actually threatened us with a Black Lives Matter Protest at our front door, which is ridiculous because I am minority too and our other tenants are also African American. This is VERY offensive. Not only did he lie about my motives -- he outright threatened me David Dijulio and Arminé Barsegyan are unprofessional, unethical, and dishonest, but what do you expect from attorneys that graduated from a bottom tier unranked law school? Would you want a lawyer who screws his own clients?

We had a very very bad experience with this Law group. I will update this review as soon as I…read morereceive the bill from them. Today 03-07-2022 I am updating this review. Attached below is the email sent by Dijulio. Dijulio, for your information I am telling the truth, "that is not libel". I can't believe that you will take advantage of people like me. Instead of helping us, you took our money and then try to scare us so that we will not tell the truth about your Law Office. Arminé Barsegyan, the lawyer in your office told us that she can help us evict our tenant. Armine said that she will email us a notice to put on the tenant's door. The notice was supposedly to inspect the tenant's room. When the tenant refused to open her room for inspection, we called Armine and asked her what to do next. She told me to file a TRO against the tenant so that I don't have to pay. Then she refused to answer my calls and never call us back again. Instead, Dijulio himself called me and said that because of covid they can not help me. Now you tell me who is telling the truth. We will file a formal complaint to the State Bar of California about you. Shame on you. Below is Dijulio's email: He is now making up a story about person of color etc. He also mentioned about relocation fee. Armina nor Dijulio never discussed any relocation fee with us. We paid $250 for consultation fee with Armine then we paid $1500 retainer fee. Once we gave them the money, then they told us that because of covid they can not do anything to help us.

We normally do not leave negative reviews, but after our experience with this law firm, we feel it…read moreis important to share what happened so other clients can make informed decisions. At the beginning, the consultation sounded professional and reassuring. However, as the case progressed, communication became increasingly frustrating. The original attorney and translator who first handled our case both left the firm within about a year, and the new team that took over seemed unfamiliar with the details of our situation and our expectations. We often felt we had to repeatedly explain the case from the beginning. One of our biggest concerns was billing transparency. We were surprised to see significant charges for tasks that appeared very basic, including researching public information, locating addresses, or searching online profiles. We understand legal work involves preparation behind the scenes, but many billable entries felt excessive relative to the actual progress of the case. Another frustrating issue was the lack of meaningful updates. Long periods would pass with little communication, while billing continued regularly. From a client perspective, it often felt like more effort was being spent generating billable hours than actively moving the case toward resolution. We also noticed a major difference between the level of attention given before signing the contract and the level of responsiveness afterward. Ironically, the detailed public response to our review felt more organized and thorough than much of the communication we experienced during representation. We understand litigation is difficult and no law firm can guarantee outcomes. This review reflects only our personal experience as clients. We simply hope future clients ask detailed questions about staffing continuity, billing practices, communication expectations, and case management before retaining this firm.
