Michael J. Lowy Esq. is no longer at 2225 E. Bayshore in Palo Alto. I just stopped by on my way out…read moreof Palo Alto this afternoon. I spoke with a receptionist who said he has no office there, but his wife picks up his mail. I was told that Michael Lowy does not use email anymore. There is a phone announcement on Michael Lowy's work-line in his voice; call and judge for yourself. I was Michael's client in the late 1990s; he handled my divorce. I never thought I would be dealing with Michael Lowy again, and at this late date, but last weekend, the Memorial Day weekend (2021), I received two emails from 'Michael Lowy' -- it was Clearly a HACK. It is of huge concern when a law office is hacked and client data is leaked. *I need to know where my archived file data is. The receptionist told me there have been several calls inquiring about Michael Lowy recently, probably other targets of the HACK. *Browser/Search: *What a client should do when a law office is hacked. *There are very specific steps you need to take. *I will be contacting California authorities tomorrow -- and likely an attorney. *Someone closing Michael's office clearly goofed. Giving 1-star in order to write this review -- *I hope this helps others who received HACK email/s from Michael Lowy and are worried and shocked. Also, yesterday, the website symbol for Lowy's office on Google brought up a Chinese page ... but that website button is gone today. Go figure. *Attorneys in CA are under a legal obligation to guard and protect client data. This is serious.

Michael Lowy is an excellent Family Law attorney who encourages his clients to use the…read moreCollaborative Law process of reaching a divorce agreement without going to court. He is concerned for the well-being of the family and helps his clients find the best solution for their divorce situation with the least stress possible. In Collaborative Law, both parties have attorneys who have agreed to work together to help clients reach a mutually agreed upon solution, without going to court. If needed, he uses a team consisting of a mental health professional who serves as communication coach, a neutral financial specialist, neutral business or real estate appraiser and if necessary, a neutral child specialist. It's a transparent and supportive process and I recommend it.

When people say no one likes attorneys they haven't met Nathan Scheg and his team. I cannot say…read moreenough great things about these guys. As a small business owner I try my best to never need an attorney, even to the point of letting the client have something for free, take great care of all of your customers and they will take care of you. Unfortunately that doesn't always solve the problem, and when I am losing my mind with an unreasonable person and don't know what to do I call my attorney, Nathan. He listens, asks questions, and gives me the advice I need to move forward. Hes my go to guy when I have a problem that I cannot solve. Do not be afraid of attorneys, just call Nathan. I sleep better at night because I know him, you should too.

I can't believe I'm writing a good review for a lawyer!! Dave isn't what you think of when you…read morethink of an attorney - he's honest, compassionate, accessible and better than that, he knows his sh1t! We needed to split up an estate that was going NOWHERE with a couple of siblings that had been dragging this out for over a year. It would still be dragging on today if we hadn't engaged with Dave to get it sorted out. He skillfully negotiated the final agreement and managed to get everyone on the same page in just a couple of hours - and I have to say that his rate was fair, he didn't try to bleed us out of billable time, and actually advised us on what NOT to do so as to keep the costs down. What lawyer does that??? Dave does. If you need a Trust or Estate attorney just start with Dave and don't waste your time and money on someone who will just work you for billable hours. Thanks again Dave!

Dave Parnall was hired to help me in an estate litigation case to distribute assets to…read morebeneficiaries. I had never been involved in any type of litigation, but knew it would be expensive and time consuming. My biggest worry was how to navigate the legal maze, court system, and deal with opposing attorneys without stressing out and going broke. It was my good fortune to find Dave as my attorney who led me step-by-step through the entire case to conclusion over a 3-year period. After I established my goals for the case, he developed a strategy to attain them. No matter how complex events became, he remained focused on my goals. I really appreciated his efforts to avoid conflicts throughout the case, but was also willing to remove the gloves when it was necessary. Dave was a calming voice when things got heated in the case and clearly outlined my options at each stage of the litigation with their pro and cons. He was acutely aware of helping me keep the billable hours to a minimum by letting me do some of the leg work such as preparing statements, hiring appraisers, and contacting the beneficiaries. Dave consistently kept me up to date on the case and replied to my phone calls and emails within 24 hours or sooner. Can't say enough how I appreciate Dave's expert legal abilities and genuine empathy for me and my case.

When dealing with contracts and business related issues, he noted and explained details that other attorneys missed, thus enabling me to understand the law from all perspectives.

I can say for certain that Michael is a model attorney.. He is a high-level expert in his field…read morewith a calm and inviting, yet confident, bed-side manner, as it were, that he extends not only to his clients but also to his opponents in negotiations.. Michael leads with dignified integrity, knowing when to say when, when to say more, and when to say "I don't know, and nothing is certain".. He believes in being prepared and asks the right questions at the right time when approaching a complicated situation. Over a year ago, I had a difficult and time sensitive legal issue with a landlord.. Michael quickly explained the scope of my circumstances in such a way as to make a plan immediately obvious and actionable.. He then went on to quickly construct arguments in support of my defense, revealing affirmative defenses I was unaware could exist, and stuck by me through the entire process, even when things got tough.. When they pushed, we pushed back if we could, and that's the kind of attorney you want on your side.. The kind that fights for you!.. Michael gave me great confidence in our relationship and his abilities. WE WON! And it would not have been possible if it weren't for Michael's very valuable counsel and tenacious work ethic. I am forever grateful to have been Michael's client, and now consider him an honest friend.

Drew's reviews were excellent and I can see why. At the initial consultation, Drew invested a considerable amount of time to genuinely listen to my concerns and I never felt rushed or that my concern was insignificant to him. After mulling over Drew's advice for a week to not seek action (based on several factors Drew addressed during the consultation) I decided his legal advice of walking away from the matter altogether was definitely in my best interest. It was unpleasant to initially accept that advise but in the end I believe he saved me from further headaches with the supply vendor. Thank you Drew for your responsive evaluation and input into my case and not just advising what I wanted to hear and/or taking my case for a quick fee.
