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.

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 chose this law firm because of its highly rated reviews and strong reputation, and honestly, I…read morefeel like I fell for the hype. 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.

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.

Recently, my parents asked me to help them find a reputable place to help them create a living trust. As with most things... I checked Yelp and found Cali Law. I'm sure glad I did. After setting up an appointment for my folks, they met with Marc by phone/video (COVID rules, of course). He spent a good couple of hours slowly explaining the process to my parents, answering their questions, and assuring them of the value of establishing a trust vs. other settlement options for their estate when they pass on. I was impressed at Marc's patience and thoroughness; moreover, Marc made it clear that this was not a "set it and forget it" RonCo sort of deal-- no, he reassured my parents this was more of a Casablanca deal-- "the start of a beautiful friendship." No one who loves his parents likes to sit around and casually chat about divvying up their assets after they die; still, Marc and everyone with whom we are working at Cali Law has treated this pragmatic topic with respect, dignity, patience, and compassion. I highly recommend this business. They did bit charge my parents a dime for the consultation, and my folks were pleased with the overall fees for their services. .

Based on my experience, I would advise looking elsewhere for legal representation.

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.

The tenant was brought in by another tenant without our knowledge and refused to leave after we had evicted the main tenant. The tenant was only obligated to pay for one room in a house, so they were getting the entire property for next to nothing. While we spent many months going back and forth with the tenant trying to resolve the situation, and getting not-so-great advice from other lawyers, a family friend recommended us to Anthony Marinaccio. During our first consultation, Anthony found a very clear strategy that he believed would work to gain possession of the property again. He was very attentive to our needs, and took time out of his busy schedule to explain all the legal steps in the eviction process as we proceeded. His staff consisting Natalie and Delmy were also really good at keeping all of our information and affairs organized. The team took care of serving all of the proper papers when it came time to give a 60-day notice. They then were able to handle all the paperwork and court proceeding related to the unlawful detainer. We didn't have to do much of anything. And they were always very transparent about the fees and what they were charging us for. After about 4-5 months, which is lightning fast if you have ever been through this type of legal maneuvering, we were able to acquire possession of the property and now we are able to begin remodeling the property and getting it back to a good footing. We would recommend Anthony and his staff for any of your landlord/tenant needs, as they are best we have come across.
