I am writing this review to formally express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal…read morerepresentation provided by Sam Geller at Geller Law, PC. Dealing with a prolonged and incredibly stressful legal matter was daunting, but from my very first consultation, I knew I was in expert hands. Thanks to his meticulous attention to detail, strategic diligence, and steadfast advocacy, the old case was officially dismissed. Throughout the entire process, communication was prompt, professional, and entirely transparent. Sam took the time to explain complex legal strategies clearly, providing the invaluable reassurance and honesty I needed to navigate a difficult situation. Securing this dismissal has allowed me to finally put this matter behind me and move forward with absolute peace of mind. I am profoundly grateful for his dedicated defense work and high standard of service. If you are looking for a top-tier, highly professional criminal defense attorney in the Bay Area, I enthusiastically recommend Sam Geller.

Was in dire need of a lawyer for my case so I contacted the law offices of Jonah Chew. Without…read moregoing into too much detail, I can say that Jonah displayed a level of unparalleled professionalism throughout this long, tiring ordeal. Mr Chew was non-judgmental but also personable and made me feel like I could reach out to him whatever time of day. Despite his heavy caseload he made sure to take the time to make sure whatever needs or questions I had at the time were addressed and always feeling re-assured and in good hands. His communication, follow-ups, and depth of knowledge was simply amazing. Mr Chew is also extremely experienced with the court system and was able to leverage his rapport with the prosecutors, DAs, and judges to ensure I was getting the best outcome. It is unclear whether a lawyer without prior experience working in these specific court systems could've yielded a better outcome. I think the case could've easily gone south had I not gone through this ordeal with Mr Chew. I honestly had not expected this level of service given the pricing. Mr Chew went above and beyond his call of duty. I am extremely releived to have done the research when searching for representation. It does make a difference.

Andrew genuinely cares for the people he represents. Throughout my legal negotiations with my former employer, he has shown great attention to detail, sound judgment, fast responses, and ultimately a willingness to persist. Even when being stonewalled for months. He is honest, patient, reliable, and exceptional in every way. Working with him is a pleasure. I cannot thank him enough for his kindness, care, and effectiveness. If you are looking for a lawyer, look no further.

As much as I always liked and relied on Yelp, apparently in a situation where both your wellbeing…read moreand your future depends on skills, dedication, and honesty of that one professional who will help you getting your life back to normal - Yelp stars might be misleading here and there. Long story short - got the temporary restraining order back in December 2024, wonderful choice of direction some people choose to solve business disputes. I looked around and picked Andrew as my counsel. Nice and friendly interview, practicing family/civil law, plus more than a hundred 5-star reviews (for an attorney) -- what else do you need, right? Besides, having backups of texts, emails, paperwork going back for more than three years and reading through utterly ridiculous affidavit filed against me, I haven't had a single worry on my mind. Until the final hearing 15 months later. and... The most disappointing, hurtful, and insufferable element in the outcome of this case is not the adjudication but rather - Andrew's covert yet egregious abuse of my trust - "I really want you win. I'm doing my best to make it happen. I know you are the good guy here" yadayadayada. - his persistent lying and gaslighting about pretty much everything case-related. "Did you read my email? - Yes, sure! - Ok, which point do you prefer? - Oh, I don't know yet, I'll read it again later". Of course he didn't read it because Mailtrack (the email tracking addon which shows whether an you sent got read or an attachment got opened, etc) I finally installed in Gmail just to see what's going on, it showed "not read yet" - he would open an email in question five to ten minutes after a nudge yet pay no attention to the attachments as if the evidence documents attached were the least of your concern (that turned to be the case after all). - his flagrant lack of even a modicum of professional integrity - he didn't pay attention to anything happening with my case, facing a rather aggressive counsel on the opposite side who's been bombarding me with the delays, contempts, motions this and motions that - he just attended hearings and gaslighted me about "there's nothing we can do here" - he constantly failed to even let me know about the new court documents filed by the opposing party - I had to set a reminder/alarm for myself to check the case log via court's website on a daily basis just to make sure I won't miss the new filings. - he picked twelve pieces of evidence (primarily business convos related) out of more than 70 available (one-on-one communications disproving each allegation one after another), told me I don't need witnesses, disregarded testimonies of witnesses on the opposite side, yeah.... - his lack of responsibility and preparedness illustrated by "I have no idea what's going on here" conduct in the courtroom where the commissioner felt compelled to raise a few objections herself to stop opposing counsel's inappropriate line of questioning. He was peacefully staring at the ceiling meanwhile. - his lack of self-reflection in regard to his mistakes or mostly shortcomings - he prefers to blame it all on everybody else around: petitioner, opposing counsel, judge, weather, and me of course (apparently I was too nervous and yet he had full list of my medical conditions and medications but didn't bother informing the commissioner about it). - his "it's your problem" attitude which became clearly evident when you failed to mumble out a single word to explain the reasoning for my remote participation (which has angered the judge beyond belief) at first evidentiary hearing, My mother had a stroke two days prior and after spending ~ 40 sleepless hours sitting in some waiting room at the CPMC Van Ness while she's been going through three separate cranial/brain surgeries. I kept him aware of each and every development, even the minor ones, sent him doctors' correspondence to show to the judge - he didn't bother until the hearing started and judge began yelling. - his complete obliviousness to opposing counsel's conduct and her complete disregard to attorney's candor rules. He hasn't even bothered to react to her literally screaming some despicable bs at the judge like "respondent's lying! He's not at any hospital! I know it because his car didn't leave the driveway in the last five days". Well, my car hasn't left the driveway for more than seven months - the battery's been dead ever since but.... rejoice! There's Uber and I did send even the freaking trips receipts. Nah, he didn't even bother to raise the question the source of info re: where my car is (not geoloc for sure, battery's _dead_ dead) - his unprofessional, childish tantrums where he would let himself to literally yell at me or ask me questions like "are you bipolar or is it OCD?" - and so on. To sum it up - if you are determined to snatch a life-destroying defeat from the jaws of victory (for the lack of better words) and pay a ton of $$$ for it, then Andrew is your top choice.

I cannot thank Lamano Law enough for the outstanding work they did on my case. After being pulled…read moreover by CHP on the freeway and charged with a DUI, I was extremely worried about my future, especially because I hold a commercial driver's license. From the very beginning, the team at Lamano Law was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They handled every aspect of my case and provided excellent representation in court. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless, which was a huge relief. I was placed on probation for two years, and once my probation was completed, Lamano Law successfully helped me get my case expunged. Most importantly, they helped protect my commercial driving license, which allowed me to continue working and supporting myself. Their dedication, communication, and results exceeded my expectations. If you are facing DUI charges and need a law firm that truly fights for its clients, I highly recommend Lamano Law. They made a difficult situation much more manageable and achieved an outcome I am incredibly grateful for.

We retained an attorney who initially told us it wasn't a serious case but than seemed to go along with them and did little to improve the situation. When my friend recommended Summit defense firm, we contacted Ryan McHugh, we were skeptical and concerned about the additional expense. We met with Ryan and he was straight forward and compassionate. We decided to hire this firm as they allowed us plenty of time to pay the reasonable retainer. From day one, this firm was amazing. The paralegal was able to give us answers within minutes that our attorney could not give after months of calls. A week ago we got a call from Ryan who said that the firm had kept a database of cases and that the loss prevention team involved in my brother's arrest had a history of aggressive behavior. My brother, who had been in jail for several months was released and his matters reduced to misdemeanors. I would highly recommend Mr McHugh. Thank you so much again!!

Update: One of the lawyers from the firm Shawn reached out to me and let me know the person I spoke…read moreto before was from an answering service. He was very kind and understanding, listening to my case and what next steps would be. I recieved an apology message from the main lawyer through yelp in addition to the phone call. They were very responsive and professional. Original: I called in to see about having them represent me. Went over what had happened and the person not only never gave his name but never listened to what the issue was. I gave my name and phone number and then he asked me what it was regarding. I had already told him what it was regarding and he wasn't even listening. He asked if it was about traffic and I had already told him it was about my goats getting out after someone stole part of our fence. It was supposed to be a traffic infraction and I had recieved a letter in the mail moving it to criminal and going from an infraction to a misdemeanor. The guy on the phone was very off putting and I feel like calling was a waste of time. If the person answering the phone doesn't care enough to listen it shows me I don't matter to them and neither would my case.
