Wow - no doubt in my mind why Maria Rosino-Miracco has all 5 stars from our YELP community. We are…read moredealing with a very complicated issue with our recently purchased home which is now weathering significant foundation issues. After a month of consulting with countless people from insurance to engineers, and several attorneys, with no resolve in sight, Maria answered the phone immediately upon our call and gave us exactly the help we were seeking. She was extremely knowledgable, was able to point us in the right direction, and provide the right referrals. She really LISTENED (as other reviews have stated), didn't talk over us, and asked all the right questions. Most notably, she was extremely generous with her time - which is not something that can be said about many attorneys. We are beyond grateful for Maria's help.

Since she called from her cell, I wonder just how badly I pissed her off...kinda funny, really... She tried to be intimidating . I'm not scared, sweetie. I'm smart and Latina too and funnier than you. Its important not to take ourselves too seriously. At NO TIME did she actually try to help me, only wanted to cover her ass for Yelp. I wonder if she's paying the monthly $300+ to Yelp for cutthroat advertising. .maybe theyll squelch this for her. I can create messages too. Or pay a secretary to do so. Covering bad practice by trying to instill fear? Are you serious? On the other hand, she has an impressive demeanor. If you hired her, she's probably kick ass in court for you...probably SO worth the money. LOLOLOLOL-I just think these random things.

Josue asked really intelligent, fact finding questions while reviewing my documents. His demeanor was a friendly, good listener who told you like it is. Above all, Josue gave me solutions with a roadmap, never talking down to me, but was very honest and sincere. I do not always have a good experience talking with attorneys, so I was pleasantly surprised with Josue Guerrero's "down to earth" approach. I would highly recommend him to any friends and business contacts.

I appreciated immediately his inquisitive questions regarding my situation rather than the standard "we can write a demand letter for $XXX". He took the necessary time to understand completely the situation, reviewed the material I had to offer, and made an informed assessment of my options. Though Martin's understanding of real estate laws are clearly far superior to mine just by the nature of his professional career, he let me do as much talking as I needed to and didn't make me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. I highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to use his firm in the future.

I was in need of an attorney while evicting two tenants I subleased a room to who were stiffing me…read moreon three months of rent. Note that I didn't care about suing anyone or carrying on a court battle. All I wanted was these tenants who refused to pay rent out of my life. Attorneys are expensive, and the whole situation drained all my resources. After speaking to other attorneys in my area who wanted outrageous amounts of money, Chris Ridgeway agreed to meet with me and consult my case. After explaining him the situation Chris Ridgeway decided to take my case knowing that I was broke and didn't make a lot of money. I gave Chris the last $500 I had in my pocket as a retainer and he agreed to make a monthly payment plan with me as it was all I could afford. We decided on a cap of $5000 for the case with $500 monthly payments. The case became more complicated as the tenants had counter sued me for a wrongful eviction and served me discoveries. These tenants also decided to sue my brother because he was present while I served them eviction paperwork. Chris also fought my brother's side of the case as it was ridiculous that my brother was even being sued at all. Chris Ridgeway knew it was a frivolous case the other party was counter suing me for, it could get messy, be a lot of work and the tenants already had 3 or 4 prior evictions on their public records! Fast forward almost 1 year later of Chris Ridgeway working hard on my case and the tenants countersuing me are now dropping the case as their attorneys were ditching them as they knew they couldn't win a frivolous case. I'm sure they made a grave mistake encountering my old tenants who stopped paying their rent. Chris Ridgeway helped me in my time of need, he genuinely wanted to help me as a person, he understood my situation, and didn't look at me or treat me like a piggy bank. He is like the Robin Hood in the lawyer world. Not only is he an amazing attorney but proved to be a great man who I hold the upmost respect for. He saved my life. I couldn't speak anymore highly of him and would definitely recommend him to anyone.
