I have been a lawyer in San Francisco for just over 30 years…read more I have been working with Swift Legal in Redwood City for a few years now. They just did a terrific job for me on a rush assignment dealing with a particularly difficult Sheriff's Office. They moved heaven and earth to get something done in one day. This is the second time they basically dropped everything and got something done for me that was pretty difficult. They have also finessed a few things in the San Mateo Sheriff's Office. (Frank knows the local Sheriffs and is careful to follow the procedures in each office -- this one needs a declaration re electronic writ even after the change in the SER forms etc...) If you have work in Nor Cal, I can't recommend them highly enough. (I should also mention that they just opened an office right across from CT Corporation in Glendale)

Highly incapable of providing the service they advertise. I submitted a subpoena for rush/24-hour…read moreprocess service, yet after more than a week and a half--and multiple follow-ups--they never even attempted to serve it. Each time I called, I spoke with different employees who all told me it was "in process" and that I would receive an update. The only time I ever got updates was when I chased them down myself. On one occasion I was even told it would be served that evening, which never happened. Later I was told their server doesn't go to that city very often. If that's the case, then why offer and charge for rush 24-hour service?? When the case manager finally called me, he claimed the request had 'slipped through the cracks.' This was the same person who had previously told me it was actively being worked on and that he would follow up with the server. It's hard to understand how something can slip through the cracks when multiple staff members repeatedly assured me it was being handled. By the time they offered more apologies and promises to fix it, the subpoena deadline had already passed and it was no longer usable. This was after I had already taken the time to go to the courthouse and wait to have the subpoena certified in the first place. Completely unreliable service and a huge waste of time and energy. I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

As a family law attorney, I rely on process servers regularly, and Dimitrius at Sleuth Process…read moreServers has become my go-to for all of my cases. He is incredibly responsive, professional, and consistently gets the job done--even when service seems nearly impossible. The difficult assignments that would normally cause stress are handled with confidence and efficiency, and I always know my cases are in good hands. Having a reliable process server is invaluable in this profession, and Dimitrius has earned my complete trust. I can't recommend him and Sleuth Process Servers highly enough.

I hired another process server and they couldn't get it done. I then reached out to Dimitrius at…read moreSleuth and after some discussion, the best way to serve the person was doing a stakeout. It sounded like the person was trying to evade being served due to them having a camera doorbell and avoiding answering the door. The following week, a stakeout date and time was established based on when the person was leaving for work. Dimitrius was able to catch the person leaving and the paper was served. Overall, a great feeling the papers are served and Dimitrius was very communicative during the whole sting operation. Next stop, court date here i come. Thanks Dimitrius.

Bay Area Process Servers was incredibly efficient, effective, professional and courteous. I was…read moresurprised at how quickly the documents were served once filed. I had heard very good things about Rui and his company from my attorney. When interacting with Rui as he collected relevant data, I appreciated his impeccable manner and personal touch. I felt I was in good hands. I thought the actual serving of documents would take longer as his company is based in the South Bay, and my situation is in the East Bay. But it happened in about 24 hours from the time he received his packet from my lawyer. He was clearly prepared. While sometimes necessary, having to have documents served isn't always pleasant, but Rui and his team made it as pleasant and painless as it could possibly be. Very much appreciated and highly recommend.

This guy is nuts. He asked me if I was going to pay him, so I told him I was and that he could…read morelook me up and then he said I was being disrespectful, that he was rich and didn't need my business and that he was refusing service. Maybe I caught him on a bad day, but he was incredibly unprofessional and, in fact, threatening on the phone. He also "forgot" to serve two additional defendants in my complaint and was surprised that I wasn't happy about this. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for help.

I can't say enough good things about California Legal Express. My family has needed legal services…read morea few times now, and we are incredibly grateful to Montana at California Legal Express for helping us each time and going above and beyond. He is quick to respond, communicates efficiently, he is professional and, most importantly, he is effective!!

If this is the legal service that you need, you will not be disappointed with having California Legal Express and Montana in your corner!

When I contacted the law firm of Robert Goldstein, I had seven years of unfiled and unpaid taxes,…read moreand the IRS was threatening me with levies and seizures. I was in a panic, had no idea how to work with the IRS, and certainly had no way to pay the tens of thousands of dollars of past due taxes, interests, and penalties. Mr. Goldstein and his staff immediately put my mind at ease. I began to understand what the various steps would be, what documents I would need to file, and learned that the levies against my bank accounts would be lifted. The letters from the IRS stopped, and my anxiety began to calm down. Over a period of time, his staff collected all of the necessary documentation from the IRS so that we could file the missing returns. Although I had many questions, they were always patient and informative. Finally, they drafted an Offer in Compromise, which the IRS accepted. This saved me a very large amount of money. I couldn't be happier with the efficiency, supportive communications, and of course, the final result. Don't make the mistake of expecting a CPA to handle the complexities of dealing with the IRS; you need an experienced tax attorney. It's the best investment you could make.

Your Consumer Advocate…read more I had a billing dispute with a well known rental car company. It was over a pre-existing crack in the windshield of a rental vehicle. Despite my notification to them and assurance from their representative that I would not be charged, they billed me for the damage. Through a legal benefit provided by my workplace, I hired Justin to handle this issue. Justin was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He wrote a very well-crafted demand letter citing relevant California statutes and case law. His expertise and attention to detail were instrumental in getting the rental car company to drop the claim entirely. Thanks to Justin, I avoided an unjust charge and a lot of stress. I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled and effective attorney.

My experience with attorney Justin Hsiang was extremely disappointing…read more I contacted him for help with a legitimate legal dispute involving a defective vehicle repair and warranty issue. What I expected was competent legal support, clear direction, and meaningful advocacy. Instead, I experienced poor follow-through, minimal effort, and a lack of attention to detail. From early in the process, there were avoidable mistakes, including an incorrect VIN number in the original communication. In a vehicle-related legal dispute, that is not a small detail. Accuracy matters, and that mistake reflected what became a broader concern: I repeatedly felt like I had to push the matter forward myself. Rather than feeling represented, I felt like I was managing the attorney. Communication and follow-through were not at the level I expected, and the case did not appear to be handled with the urgency or diligence required. When the matter reached the point where litigation needed to be considered, it became clear to me that Justin was not the right attorney to carry the case forward. My concern is not simply that the outcome was unresolved. My concern is the pattern of limited effort, lack of attention to key facts, and failure to provide the level of advocacy I needed. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Justin Hsiang for a matter that requires persistence, litigation readiness, or active case management.
