I cannot recommend Geller Law highly enough!…read more I reached out to Mr. Geller after having a very discouraging experience with a previous attorney who was unresponsive, dismissive, and made me feel like a criminal rather than a full time working professional. I was already under a lot of stress, and that lack of communication made things significantly worse. From the moment I contacted Geller Law, the experience was completely different. Lauryn Bradley, the paralegal, spoke with me right away when I was panicking and took the time to listen, explain the process, and reassure me. She immediately scheduled a consultation with Mr. Geller, and both of them were incredibly accommodating and calm throughout the entire process. Mr. Geller clearly explained my situation, set realistic expectations, and most importantly gave me peace of mind. He and Lauryn handled every aspect of my case with professionalism and care, allowing me to continue focusing on my work without constantly worrying about legal details. They were very clear about what was needed from me, and whenever they requested something, communication was prompt and straightforward. Another thing that truly mattered to me was that Mr. Geller personally showed up to every court appearance. I was never left to attend court alone or unsure of what to do. Having him present each time made a stressful situation far more manageable and reinforced my confidence that my case was being taken seriously. What truly sets this firm apart is responsiveness. Emails and questions were answered quickly and thoroughly, which made an enormous difference during a stressful time. I always felt informed, respected, and supported. I feel extremely fortunate to have found Geller Law. If you are looking for a legal team that is competent, responsive, and genuinely cares about their clients, I would recommend Mr. Geller and Lauryn without hesitation!

I got the…read moreimpression he is awesome at what he does and goes the extra mile even when you're not actually paying him yet. He doesn't normally take cases in my county, so he recommended two great lawyers. I have to say, Tom Maas who he recommended and I went to see the next day was everything that Sam promised. Sam even followed up with me early in the morning and asked that I let him know how it goes. Did I mention, if it didn't work out, Sam was willing to make an exception and take our case. Don't hesitate going with Sam, he makes things happen, extremely trustworthy and upfront, super responsive, and makes sure you're taken care of.

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.

They say a good lawyer is worth it's weight in gold! That couldn't be more true. Well first I…read moretalked to Andrew and set up a consultation. Which was very easy to do. Had a court date in three weeks and I needed a good lawyer for my arraignment date. I knew that this was only arraignment. And usually nothing happens except pleading guilty or not guilty. Well long story short. Andrew didn't just sit around and wait while the other lawyers would try and cut in front of him. The San Francisco court house is chaos! He made sure we were heard as soon as possibly. And I didn't have to wait for hrs. Like I would have had to do if I had a public defender. Well the case got dismissed. And Andrew is going to help do the expulsion also. Totally a class act lawyer! Thank you Andrew!

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.

In 2018 I got a DUI involving another car, I was charged with a felony DUI. I felt like the world…read morewas going to end, I was 24 (at the time of the accident), my BA was over 1.8, I was driving over 80mph, and I hit another car causing bruising on the passenger's leg. I was charged with major bodily harm, this was the lowest moment of my life. Mrs. Feigelson took my case, she dove into my history of alcoholism after leaving Afghanistan. She got to know me and strategized a legal defense that connected my service-related PTSD to the legal trouble I found myself in. Mrs. Feigelson fought for me to be transferred into Veterans Court. Her knowledge of the court system and thorough understanding of programs that are uniquely tailored to her clients let me have another chance at life. Without her help, I would have gotten that felony, I would have lost my future. She stood by me for over 2 years making court appearances on my behalf. She is more than a lawyer, she's someone who you can trust will do everything in her power to get you the best outcome. I can not describe the amount of esteem and admiration I have for her. I graduated from Veterans court; my entire DUI was taken off my criminal record and dismissed. Life will happen, and sometimes you end up somewhere you don't want to be. If you have a criminal case, especially a DUI Mrs. Feigelson is the lawyer you need. If I ever have any issues in the future she is the only lawyer I would consider hiring 10/10.

Before I even gave her a red cent she was already looking into the case and giving me advice on what she could do if I hired her. The second I sent her payment she was making phone calls. Within 24hrs she spoke to the clerk, probation officer, district attorney, the clerk again, the judge, and got the case dismissed. ALL WITHIN 24 HOURS. Looks like my first born child's name will be Rebecca. I can't thank her enough, I am eternally grateful.

I was on disability, with no income and limited resources, and hesitant to pay a consultation fee. But after speaking directly with Givelle, her clarity, compassion, and genuine care made me feel safe enough to invest in myself--despite how vulnerable I felt. She asked if I wanted to fight the DMV hearing to keep my license, explaining the cost and the low odds. I said yes--because I knew I was telling the truth and had advocated for myself at the time of the accident, even though I was terrified of the police. Her team, Manjula and Shawn, uncovered key evidence that validated my experience. Lamano Law Office won the DMV hearing. When it came time for court, Manjula and Justine were responsive, thorough, and deeply invested. They treated me like a person, not a case file--explaining every option, answering every question, and honoring my circumstances with care. Now that my case has come to a close, I can say the outcome surpassed anything I expected, especially after all the research I did and stories I'd heard from others. Manjula was a driving force in bringing it to that powerful close! Her dedication, clarity, and care made me feel supported every step of the way. I keep telling my friends and family: hiring Lamano Law Office was the best decision I made for myself. Even though I didn't have extra money to hire an attorney, I found a way and they worked with me every step of the way. If you're someone who's on the fence about seeking legal support, I hope my experience offers the reassurance you've been looking for. Lamano Law Office will always have my support, and I wish them continued success. To Givelle and the entire Lamano Law Office team--thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your belief in me, your fierce advocacy, and your unwavering care changed the course of my life. I'll never forget it.

I felt 100% believed and supported throughout my entire legal ordeal which helped me feel more at ease during an incredibly challenging time in my life. My specific case ended up requiring 2 additional law professionals in addition to Marcia's area of criminal law. Marcia went above and beyond to find these other professionals for me. Saving me an incredible amount of time, money, stress and anxiety. She took time to have personal conversations with them about my case and my specific needs and then provided me with her detailed thoughts and opinions on each individual. This allowed me to make the most informed decision possible and ensured my other representation was also of high quality. When I secured 2 other lawyers in different law areas for this case, Marcia then collaborated with those professionals and fiercely advocated for my needs, ensuring that each professional had my best interests in mind and that neither of these professionals would jeopardize the outcome of my criminal case. When the criminal law portion of my case ended, Marcia continued to check in with me frequently to track the progress in each of the other areas of this case. She continued to provide me with personal advice as well as comments/questions that she would ask the other attorneys in these other areas to ensure I was continuing to get the best representation possible. Overall Marcia is an outstanding attorney and overall person to have on your team, representing your needs. She goes above and beyond to help you and is always transparent. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for legal counsel.

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!!

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.

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.
