Also, deadlines; don't want it to drag on. Kelly and team were on it from the day I called. Explaining and walking me through. Legal representation is expensive to be sure: but such a relief to have authority when you need it. I learned a lot, and process wrapped up without drama.

Hiring Ashlee Gonzales was one of the best decisions we've made as landlords. We were dealing with…read morea stressful situation involving a rental property near the beach, and a tenant who was making aggressive demands and threatening legal action. We felt overwhelmed and unsure how to respond, until we met Ashlee. She was patient, reassuring, and incredibly knowledgeable. Ashlee listened closely, asked thoughtful questions, and then laid out a clear plan that protected us and kept the situation from escalating. She has a rare ability to combine legal expertise with practical common sense, and she guided us through every step with confidence and care. Her communication was excellent, her strategy was smart, and she consistently looked out for our best interests. Having her in our corner made all the difference. We also want to acknowledge Kelly Moir, who stepped in seamlessly whenever Ashlee was in court or unavailable. It was genuinely comforting to know that we had a second attorney fully up to speed and ready to jump in without missing a beat. That kind of redundancy, like getting two attorneys for the price of one, gave us peace of mind during a very tense time. Kelly was professional, responsive, and clearly part of a well‑coordinated team. Most importantly, Ashlee (and Kelly) made us feel protected. Instead of feeling bullied by someone who didn't understand the law and was trying to squeeze us for more than was reasonable, we felt supported by people who absolutely knew what they were doing. The final outcome was fair, reasonable, and far better than what we feared at the beginning. We couldn't be more grateful to Ashlee, Kelly, and the entire team at Brewer Offord & Pedersen.

I recently needed a real estate attorney for a non-transactional matter. I contacted several…read moreattorneys from SJ to SF, including the East Bay, and found that their responses generally fell into the following categories: 1) Ghosted / never returned my calls. 2) Some replied with a menu of fees with one asking for a $600 consultation fee (a neutral statement, not a judgment on how anyone runs their business). 3) Several days to respond to each message. 4) One launched into a monologue about how he could take my case all the way to the Supreme Court. Eric was the only attorney who responded the same day. He even took the time to decipher my nearly inaudible voicemail, which had been garbled by poor cell reception. He was direct and transparent from the start and spent more than 30 minutes speaking with me before deciding to take on my case. He is exceptionally intelligent, efficient, and highly knowledgeable about real estate law. The level of time and care he devoted to my case made me feel like I was his only client. In addition, he is a skilled litigator, making him a one-stop resource for any legal issues that may arise. He will always be the first person I think of if I or my friends ever need legal advice. If you need someone who is a master of his craft and doesn't play games, Eric is the one.

When I initially called to make an appt with the attorney my friend used, I was told someone would call me back to set up the appt. Five business days later, after never hearing from them, I called THEM back to schedule a meeting. After our initial meeting, we were handed off to Linda Kramer, who was quite rude and condescending, but at that point we had already paid the retainer and needed to get our documents done. It then took FOUR WEEKS to get the next appt scheduled with Linda. So much for timely customer service. Either they have more clients than they can be adequately responsive to or this is the level of attention they think is OK.
