After consulting with several different employment attorneys, I chose David because he was by far the most attentive, patient, and emotionally intelligent of the bunch. Not only did David help me navigate the reporting process factually, he also fiercely advocated for my rights, helping me achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, he was exceptionally patient, always taking the time to address and validate my concerns. If anyone ever needs an employment lawyer, David is the first person I will recommend.

Thank You Milan !! And, although our case did not end up having strong enough merits, Adam was very thorough in reviewing our story and providing feedback as well as easy to understand examples that clearly illustrated how the law might support (or reject) a case such as ours. In additional to case-specific issues, an additional big take-away is knowing these folks will be the first place we would go in the future and/or recommend to others. Definitely a 'Class Act' ... Thank you ERA !!

Michael has been my attorney since 2019. I am really lucky to have found him! He has represented me…read morein several court cases: 1) I paid $3,500 to a tax relief company that promised to negotiate with the IRS to reduce my indebtedness. The next year I received a tax refund that eliminated the debt. The tax relief company did not engage in negotiations with the IRS for a reduction. Michael sued the company for deceptive business practices because at the time I paid the money they already had information about my income and the upcoming refund. The company retained an attorney and later agreed to settle. I received the entire $3,500 back and Michael got attorney's fees. 2) A former healthcare provider disclosed my private information without my consent. Michael sued the provider for violation of the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.The provider retained an attorney and later agreed to settle. I received a monetary compensation and Michael got attorney's fees. 3) In 2016 I filed with the Board of Psychology two complaints against a psychological assistant and her supervisor. When the investigations were still pending, the assistant obtained a psychologist's license. In August 2019, she reached a settlement with the board and agreed to a 5-year probation. In January 2020, the supervisor surrendered her license. However, in June 2019 they sued me for civil harassment alleging that my complaints were purportedly "fabricated" and that I purportedly "defamed" them by posting negative Yelp reviews that ruined their practices. Michael filed an anti-SLAPP motion which was erroneously denied. The appellate court reversed the denial even though the plaintiffs' appellate attorney had over 40 years of experience and was fighting tooth and nail. After the appeal, the case was dismissed and the plaintiffs paid attorney's fees. My reviews are still posted. 4) In 2019 Michael agreed to represent me in a civil case which is still ongoing. I am suing the former psychologist and her assistant (see (3) above) for engaging in deceptive business practices. Because the former psychologist had a malpractice insurance policy, the insurer was forced to provide a defense. The insurer retained an attorney with more than 40 years of experience in medical malpractice. The defense attorney has essentially unlimited financial resources and did everything imaginable to dismiss the case as well as to stonewall discovery. Even though Michael is a solo practitioner and has a very limited budget, he successfully defended me against two demurrers, a motion for judgment on the pleadings and a motion for summary judgment. Recognizing that the defendants cannot prevail on the merits, the defense attorney attempted to disqualify my attorney. This attempt failed. Despite gross disparity in experience and financial resources, the defendants' attorney was unable to dismiss the case even after more than 3 years. 5) In 2020 Michael agreed to represent me in a family case involving a dispute over spousal support. My ex-husband was represented by two attorneys who had significantly more experience and specialized exclusively in family matters. Opposing counsel argued that I must pay spousal support for the rest of his life. After a six-hour trial, the court rejected all arguments advanced by opposing counsel and sided with Michael who argued that I hadn't owed any spousal support since 2016. The court then ordered my ex-husband to pay attorney's fees. 6) In 2021 Michael agreed to represent me in a civil case where I asked to rescind a gift that I gave to my ex-husband in 2017 as a result of my illness. My ex-husband was represented by an experienced attorney who filed a demurrer challenging the complaint on multiple grounds, including on the basis of the statute of limitations. Michael successfully defended me against the demurrer. The court accepted Michael's arguments and rejected all arguments advanced by my ex-husband's attorney who had significantly more litigation experience and regularly serves as a judge pro tempore. Although I am not a lawyer myself, I hold the degree of Master of Legal Studies from Stanford Law School. The degree entitles me to teach law and conduct research in the area of law. During my studies at Stanford, I took Advanced Legal writing and coursework where I produced scholarly papers to pass the class. I am thus qualified to judge Michael's legal writing and can tell that it is spectacular. Michael is brilliant (I concur with another Natasha who reviewed Michael before me :)) and his writing is lucid, compelling, concise and cogent. That for Michael English is a third language (not even a second language) and he writes So Very Well is utterly amazing. If you speak Russian or Hebrew, Michael can distill complex jurisprudential concepts to you in accessible form in your native language. Michael is infinitely available on the phone any time I have a question. He has been a true blessing in my life. Highly recommended!!

BUT if anyone is doing some background work, here you go: I was departing my last firm after 25 years. It's tricky unraveling business and friendship ties. And in this circumstance there was a lot at stake financially as well. I needed a specialist. I turned to a long time grind who is the MP for a international firm with a large presence in the Bay Area. He couldn't represent me but he turned me into Erik Kastner. "Mike, this is the guy I hate on the other side of my cases. But he's very good and I can trust him. ". One call later amd Erik was in the team. Kastner Kim was well organized and the transition between Erik and his staff and partners was smooth. We spent a few months together through some emotional items. Erik kept my interests first at all times and fought for me. Result: An exit agreement which ended up protected me too vs. just the company.
