I consulted other lawyers who gave me little hope that promises would be honored, even though witnessed by many, nor any chance for redress. Years earlier I had naively signed a document, without reading or understanding its implications. Tim Broderick helped me to set realistic expectations and then he went on to win the case. I was despondent, scared, and angry. He listened and then presented workable ideas on how to proceed with my case. I appreciate his optimistic and sensible approach, always keeping me informed of my options. He let me know that there was help to get me through; and I wasn't alone. He has a great staff, they really shine! They listened, kept me on schedule, were prompt with all necessary work and documents, and helped me to stay focused and positive. (which was difficult) Best of all Tim helped me put a painful chapter of my life behind me. I find it difficult to convey how much I admire and appreciate him. Thank you, Tim Broderick, you're the Best!

Compassionate, Knowledgeable, and Reassuring -- Mr. Harvey Ziff is Outstanding!…read more I recently consulted Mr. Ziff regarding a very difficult situation involving my son's car accident. Mr. Ziff took the time to truly understand the details and provided calm, clear, and professional advice at a time when I felt overwhelmed and uncertain. He explained my potential civil liabilities in a way that was easy to understand, and most importantly, he assured me that my exposure was limited -- which allowed me to finally breathe easier. Mr. Ziff's experience and empathy really stood out. He didn't pressure me or push services; he just gave me the straight answers I needed. If you're looking for an injury lawyer who combines legal expertise with human decency, Harvey Ziff is the person you want in your corner. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Update: I have received a very courteous call from Lauren Rios after posting my review; she…read moreexplained their intake process and I suggested it would have been nice to hear something along the lines of "if your case can wait till the month of _________, we'd be happy to consider it at the time." Bumping my review by one star. After reading glorious reviews, Lauren Rios was my number one choice and the first attorney I contacted. The receptionist took down my personal details only to inform me right away that they are not accepting new clients at this time. I wasn't asked for any details of my situation to determine whether the firm has the expertise or the bandwidth to take on my case, now or in the future. This left me wondering whether my Jewish-sounding last name made them turn me away without any further consideration. After all, it would be enough to ask for a first name only in order to carry on a conversation.

What an amazing experience working with Golden State Trusts!…read more We have tried working with other firm making our very first living trust couple of years ago but we got overwhelmed with all the technical terminologies he piled on us without much explanation, so we stopped proceeding. This time, we were urged to make one as soon as possible and the team from Golden State Trusts made our process so easy and fast! I personally hate all the documents and legal stuff, but we really enjoyed the very approachable demeanor that Johnathan had from the introduction and he was so friendly explaining all the terminologies we questioned throughout the process. Also Jessica who actually made our living trust was very detailed and super efficient, we don't have to tell her anything twice but she takes notes and make changes right away. Gosh, that was so easy!!! They even gave us cheat sheet afterwards which is going to be very helpful! We are so happy and would love to come back if we make any further changes!!! Thank you so much!!!

I highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again should I need further trust guidance or to set up another trust.

My experience with Mr. Anthony Kerin…read more For the first time in my life, I found myself interviewing attorneys and navigating the overwhelming world of legal services. A dear long-time friend of mine recommended Mr. Anthony Kerin in Menlo Park. After our first meeting, he shook my hand, looked me in the eyes and declared, "Now, what you want matters." From the moment I had stepped into that office, I knew he was the one I needed to trust with my case. I hired the professional, personal Mr. Anthony Kerin right then and there. As time passed the needs of my family, my case, and my overall situation became more clear. A very knowledgeable Mr. Kerin educated and guided me through many major decisions. He treated me with respect, attended to every detail of my case, kept me informed, and, when needed, Mr. Kerin "took the gloves off", no holds barred. With his support during this difficult time, I was able to better make sound, thoughtful, realistic decisions rooted in our best current and future interest. Mr. Kerin is an excellent attorney with high standards and impeccable ethics. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

I paid an exorbitant fee for a family law consultation expecting legal insight, guidance, and at…read moreleast some willingness to discuss potential options. Instead, I left feeling like I had paid hundreds of dollars simply to be told that nothing could be done unless I retained the firm. I presented evidence of financial abuse and explained the circumstances surrounding my case, hoping for meaningful advice or direction. Rather than receiving any substantive assistance, I was met with what felt like indifference and a sales pitch for additional legal fees. The message was clear: unless I was prepared to spend even more money, my concerns were not worth addressing. I understand that attorneys are not obligated to represent every client, but charging premium consultation rates while offering virtually no practical guidance is difficult to justify. What made the experience particularly disappointing was the complete lack of empathy. Family law clients are often facing some of the most stressful and financially devastating situations of their lives. A little compassion and professionalism would go a long way. This consultation felt less like a legal service and more like an expensive screening process designed to determine whether additional fees could be collected. I left feeling dismissed, frustrated, and no closer to understanding my legal options than when I arrived. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to ask exactly what they will receive during a paid consultation before spending their money. My experience was that the cost far exceeded the value provided. Better yet just ask CHATGPT yourself save your money.
