Continuing from first review…read more.. Robert A. Miller made me subpoena a former roommate in order to get her to be a witness. This was unnecessary as her email to me was sufficient. Additionally, there are many instances where Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg revealed that they did not examine all of the evidence that I provided. Robert A. Miller kept stressing issues of my pet cat's bodily functions. There was not a single complaint (no email or text, but only something the landlord wanted to add to her retaliatory eviction) of cat urine smell from my two roommates and their partners. I stated that numerous friends of mine have visited and can be witnesses to support that cat urine smell was never an issue. Robert A. Miller responded that the plaintiff Juliet Welch would then call on the other four downstairs tenants as witnesses of cat urine smell. How can downstairs tenants witness what happens in my upstairs apartment when the units are separate and the downstairs tenants and upstairs tenants are not friends and therefore the downstairs tenants are never invited inside the upstairs unit. Moreover, the downstairs tenants have a senior dog and a new puppy, both of whom require puppy pads and potty training. The downstairs tenants also dogsit. There are multiple animals at the 61 Franciscan Way address. A week before my conference court date, Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg required an additional $18,000 in order to represent me, essentially abandoning me. At which point, I asked them to stop work. My new counsel reached a settlement of my staying until the end of December (as opposed to October) and $9000 in new money. The attorney fee agreement clearly states that the $5,000 (the one where I gave $10,000) would ensure the case goes to a jury trial. This is a breach of contract, fiduciary duty, and fraud. Neither Robert A. Miller nor David M. Sternberg went over the retainer fee agreement with me. As a matter of fact, David M. Sternberg did not even sign the retainer fee agreement until August 14th, 2019 after receiving the additional $5,000 (where I gave $10,000). I filed a Ca State Bar Mandatory fee dispute in Feb. 2022. Robert A. Miller answered to serve David M. Sternberg who did not agree to be served until November 2022. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg ignored the CA State Bar Mandatory fee dispute so that the statute of limitations would expire. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg responded after I filed small claims because the CA State Bar Dispute was not going anywhere. I called everyday and left messages and CA State Bar only responded once when I received a call back that they will not discipline attorneys for not answering. At the small claims court date, David M. Sternberg twisted the fee dispute to become legal malpractice to claim a one year statute of limitation. I never used the language of legal malpractice in any of my communication with Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg set themselves up nicely so that they can claim that any court proceeding waives my rights to pursue a fee dispute with Ca State Bar. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg are unscrupulous lawyers who are greedy and take advantage of vulnerable clients.

I reached out to the Law offices of Robert Miller to see what steps I could take and what to do next since my requests to the landlord are going unanswered. Mr. Miller called me back within 24hrs of me reaching out and was very thorough in explaining what steps I should take before reaching the point of needing to officially engage legal counsel. Legal fees can add up quickly and I appreciated him pointing me in the right direction during our phone consultation. I intend on following his guidance and because of his willingness to help without my retaining him, when the time comes to engage counsel with this matter, I will absolutely be using his services. Thank you Robert!

Chuck Marshall is a miracle worker. We're late to this review but we were trapped in a nightmare…read moresituation when a dealer sold us a car out of state but clearly didn't have experience doing so -- we ended up not getting title or tags for months, so it just sat there in our parking spot undriveable while we made insurance and loan payments. We got increasingly frustrated in the dealer's inability and unwillingness to try and solve the problem, so we turned to legal help -- and Chuck solved our problem. In our case, the dealer offered to refund all our car and insurance payments and basically unwind the sale of the car, but shortchanged Chuck a little bit in terms of his fee -- Chuck still advised us to take the deal. He's genuinely interested in getting his clients a resolution, and it shows. If you're unfortunate enough to find yourself in a similar situation, Chuck is the only guy you'd want on your side.

I had a major issue with a Lien on my property that was discovered when I went to refinance my…read moremortgage. This was a lien placed by a mortgage company even though the loan was cancelled within the 3 day period allowed for cancelling. So my Refinance could not proceed. The mortgage company and title company that recorded the lien are all out of business so no way to remove the lien. In short, I cannot refinance, cannot afford the new mortgage payment, cannot sell my property, cannot get the lien removed. 6 weeks into trying to get this issue resolved and time running out I reached out to David Stromberg, we set up a time to meet and he could not have been nicer, totally professional in understanding the situation I was in. With his knowledge of California real estate law, he soon came up with a solution that would allow the title company to write title insurance around the false lien so I could proceed with my refinance, Docs are now signed and my life is back to normal. I cannot thank David enough for his help in resolving this nightmare and saving my home. Highly recommended. Thank you David. Mark Robinson.
