BREAKING NEWS: Armando won my jury trial! Over the course of the last 2 weeks, we were stuck at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse, in a housing habitability trial. Attorney Armando was so incredible! He was compassionate, nice, and very aggressive with the opposing attorneys. The attorneys the insurance company hired were not on good terms with my attorney, but Mr. Armando showed them that he is NOT to be messed with. The jury heard compelling testimony, and eventually sided with me. Experts came in from all over the country, including a fire expert from Tampa, Florida, and a housing expert and DHS official from Miami, Florida. The heart of the case was about the notice criteria and how the landlord responded. The home in question was under the Rent Control program issued by the City of Los Angeles and the landlord attempted to kick me out illegally. The home had lead, toxic mold, cockroaches, rats, ants, spiders, floods, and other substandard conditions, and the landlord attempted to say that everything was my fault because the apartment was given to me in "stellar" condition. This was far from the truth. I am low income so I did not know where to go. I met with Attorney Armando and he guided me through the entire process. I did not know how easy it was to navigate the legal process. Mr. Armando called me and spent hours on the phone to prepare the verified complaint we filed, we did depositions, discovery, and other litigation tools, and then the case proceeded to trial. When in the jury selection, I did not want a jury member and Mr. Armando said, "Please let me handle this, I promise you I will get a good jury pool." He did! I never doubted his ability, nor his excellent trial skills. He objected and for the most part the judge sided with him. It was so compelling to see how the jury members think and how they make the decisions as to damages. It was so incredible to know that the jury awarded me $415,000 in compensatory damages and $740,000 in punitive damages. Justice was served! Over the course of the last 2 years, Armando, Stephanie, and I have been in constant communication: over emails, phone, and via coffee dates. Each and every time we communicated, I felt that I made the right decision in seeking counsel herein, and I can say that Armando is the best Attorney in the entire universe! He is very smart (ranked in the top of his class at UCLA and USC) and just treats everyone with so much love, attention, and compassion. As a gay man, I felt that Armando and Stephanie were so accepting of me and my case; I could express myself freely without any judgment whatsoever. I can say that the case was not easy but Armando was just the perfect Attorney for this job! He was prepared, well-versed, and incredibly honed on the evidence code. I wish I can one day pursue my dream and become an attorney, and if I do, I wish to be more like Armando--he is the true definition of incredible and what everyone should be more like of. He is a blessing and I will miss him so much when he moves to Florida to teach law. He was the best gift that God has given me. Again, thank you, Mr. Armando! You rock! read more

I cannot express how thankful I am for Attorney Armando and his paralegal, Ms. Stephanie. We had a long and drown out fight with our landlord, who owns many buildings in the Redondo Beach and Malibu region, and Armando was our attorney who fought for our rights. We met with Armando and he told us we had a very strong case, he sent out an inspector, and then we waited to have the mold reports back. The mold report showed that we had toxic mold in our property, so Armando sent us to his mold expert, a Professor at UC Irvine. We did not know this was the reason myself and my kids could not breathe properly, and the reason we were always short of breathe. I am very hands on and Armando is very approachable and kind, and always returns calls and emails. He is assertive and will tell you the facts, without much room for cushion, i.e. he is blunt, but nice. After the lawsuit, Armando negotiated with State Farm and their attorney and he was able to get my family an impressive near $100,000 to settle the case. We went to Court many times because the Defendant's attorney filed many motions: motions for protective order, motions for sanctions, demurrers, etc., but Armando won ALL of the motions! When we obtained the settlement check, my husband and I got emotional because this money changed our lives and allowed us to purchase a home. I did not say this enough, but I appreciated Armando and his staff for all they did during our 8 months of litigation. Armando is very inclusive of all and the office is so diverse. For example: Latinos, Whites, Blacks, and even members of the LGBTQI+ community work at the office. The first day I went in, Armando humbled himself and made me a cup of coffee: an Attorney did this to show his true self. His warm persona and his compassionate self reassured me we were in the right hands. I would always email him and he would respond at 2 a.m. at times; he told me he prefers not to sleep than to leave his clients behind. He is ALWAYS accessible and ready to assist when you need him the most. If I ever need an Attorney for anything else, I will contact him. For someone who was vulnerable and did not know what to do, Armando made this process so easy for me. I understand Armando worked for the Prosecutor's Office in the past prosecuting gangsters and hardcore crimes, so if you need a criminal attorney, a housing attorney, or a friend, please look no further--Call ARMANDO! HE WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!! Again, Armando and Stephanie, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP DURING THIS STRESSFUL TIME. You were victorious and I would highly recommend you for the rest of my life! Please continue doing this line of work, and helping people like me, as your personality and excellent suits and ties make you stand out! Overall grade: A+....... read more

Do you have an issue with a landlord? Is your landlord negligent and not maintaining the property exposing you to harm and toxic conditions ? Look no further, this is the law firm for you. They will treat you with respect and fight for you to acquire a financial settlement. My lawyers Jacob and Armando were fantastic. National top 100 trial lawyer ! Read below for my experience. The case I had an outstanding dispute with a slumlord of a Landlord, who was quite difficult to deal with. The property was in a constant state of disrepair, there was rodent infestation, and mold to say the least. Towards the end it was a nightmare to live there. I was threatened that if I left earlier than the end of lease ,despite many request from me , to get the health issues resolved, I would be taken to court. I started to look for a lawyer immediately. This law firm was one of many I had talked to. I chose them because Jacob was very clear, to the point and treated me with respect. Initial Consult I went into the office after setting up an appointment over the phone, it's a pretty big office, quite impressive actually. His staff immediately greet you and have you seated. I did wait a bit for the meeting, it's to be expected in a busy law firm. When they were ready to see me, I went to meet Jacob upstairs in a huge office. Jacob listened to my case, asked me questions, and I showed him my documents and photos. He listened intentently, and told me his opinion of my case. He was straight to the point, no sales tactics or upfront fees( some lawyers do). He told me what he could do , what a realistic goal would be. I went home, thought it over and came back and proceeded with his representation with my case. Legal proceedings can take a long time but this law firm was very speedy with the case. Keep this in mind, a month or two can go by for the ball to get rolling. This is normal, plus this is a busy law firm. Armando was my lawyer who oversaw all the intricate details of my case. He put me at ease about the process and told me he's on it. He was very easy to talk to, respectful and understood my case well. He gave me status updates, frequently. He really fought for me and didn't allow me to get low balled by the other side, I appreciated that. I overall felt he did a great job at communicating and ensuring things went smoothly. 5 stars for Armando ! Jacob also kept in touch and oversaw things as well. I am happy with my experience at this law firm, and would recommend anyone with Personal Injury, Workers Compensation, Landlord tenant issues, Slumlord , Eviction, work injury, go with this firm they will fight for you ! read more

Folks be VERY careful not to hire this law firm. We hired them in June 2021, and they've caused us, and potentially other former/current clients, significant unlimited damages. Moreover, they operate like a "gang" -- they came along with their accomplices trespassing our property, and tried to file a frivolous lawsuit against us claiming baseless, defamatory, and racist cause of actions. For instance, they referred to us in their frivolous lawsuit complaint "terrorists", "mentally disabled", and claimed they sustained injuries on our property, claims that never happened based on our recorded videos, on and outside our property, and witnesses. We reported them to, among others, the State Bar of California and the Police, which are currently investigating their bogus claims and illegal actions to date. Be extremely alert, if Mr. Armando Reyes came to your house/property, alone, or with any of their known/unknown accomplices, came near you or trespassed your house/property, please contact law enforcement immediately, for that's how they stage fabricated personal injury/assault/battery claims against you to scare you not file a complaint/malpractice lawsuit against them in the future. Do not touch them, immediately start audio/video-taping their actions, along with witnesses, and concurrently call 911 to report their heinous hate crimes. Furthermore, please note that Mr. Armando Reyes, is a "provisionally-licensed attorney" with the State Bar of California, something that he and his employer never mentioned to us before we hired him in June 2021. Hence, he lacks the competence and expertise to diligently pursue your comprehensive rights. More importantly, we undoubtedly believe that this law firm, its attorneys, its accomplices, and other attorneys they know/work with to underhandedly prey on and take advantage of undocumented immigrants and the disabled. A fact, that we're in the process to formally report to the USCIS, DHS, the DOJ, and the FBI to thoroughly investigate. Again, DO NOT hire these so-called attorneys! Anybody who has been one of their victims, please send us a confidential e-mail to: isheed@me.com, to band together to compel the State Bar of California and the Office of the Attorney General of California to neutrally investigate their illegal actions, and hold them legally accountable in the near future. We're planning to sue them for legal malpractice and all other viable claims/damages that we're legally entitled to, per local/state/federal laws. read more

This review has been a long time coming because it deserves a true, thought out thank you. If you are considering Jacob, please read thoroughly. I reached out to Jacob for legal advise regarding a landlord matter, I was the tenant, in July of 2019. I had been living a mere 5 days when I started having problems with my landlord who was repetitively coming to the rental unit on a weekly basis. On the third consecutive weekend he attempted to come to the house to "measure a window" I asked him to please hold off for the following week as it was 4th of July and he had all ready been to the unit two consecutive weekends. From that moment it spiraled into full blown vengeance and retaliation leading to threats, emails, violation of civil rights, attorney postings at the door that I no longer had a contract and needed to vacate, it was endless retaliation. I sought out Jacob as he had excellent reviews. Jacob asked me "what do you want me to do?" I told Jacob I needed some time to find a new place, although we both knew we would prevail if I wanted to stay at the rental unit, my wish was to move and needed time to find proper housing. At the hearing, Jacob did just that! I moved in July, payed rent for July and DID NOT PAY RENT FOR 4 MONTHS! UNFORTUNATELY, the harassment didn't stop there. The landlord continued to come after me for nine months pulling back into court under fraudulent files of damages and sanctions. ARMANDO REYES stepped in and wrote a FIRM, AGGRESSIVE RESPONSE that was so thought out. He took his time, called me, texted me, kept me in the loop every step of the way. He treatment me with the upmost respect and kindness. He gave me his word he would do his very best to help put a stop to all this madness. My second hearing took place in early September of 2020. JACOB LITIGATED HIS HEART OUT! In the judicial domain it's hard to decipher whose truly on your side, so much of it is self serving for attorneys who generally seek to enrich themselves from unfortunate situations. MONEY WAS NEVER THE CASE WITH JACOB. JACOB and ARMANDO triumphed, and the case dismissed We are now filing for attorney fees and whether I am able to recover some or not, will depend largely on the judicial system. I am fortunate I am being led by two wonderful upstanding individuals. JACOB and ARMANDO, THANK YOU for all your hard work and commitment! G- read more

After a series of unfortunate events that occurred while renting a back unit from a illegitimate landlord, my partner and I were unexpectedly served an Unlawful Detainer (eviction). Following several unsuccessful attempts at retaining a lawyer who appeared to be genuinely interested in our case with a strong understanding of evictions, I discovered Jacob to be a top attorney for evictions and several other cases. I realized that Jacob was a renowned and award-winning attorney who had quite an impressive streak of successfully won cases and was both delighted and overwhelmed to discover an extremely impressive amount of glowing reviews from several of his clients. When I called The Law Offices of Jacob O. Partiyeli, I was met with outstanding customer service. The staff that handles phone calls are very energetic, sympathetic and eager to appoint you with Jacob in due time. When I had called to make an appointment, the receptionist immediately asked me if I would like to meet with Jacob the same day or the following. Jacob's firm is immaculate with several staff members who are hands-on to help with client needs. We were greeted enthusiastically and served refreshments.When it came time to meet Jacob, my partner and I were blown away by his really positive and regal demeanor. He is calm, compassionate, a great listener and truly an expert within his field. My partner and I immediately knew that we wanted him to represent us. We immediately felt safe and taken care of in his presence. The consultation was completely FREE (which I found to be rare during my search for other attorneys), yet he had no problems making calls on our behalf and getting to the bottom of the issue. He advised us on what exactly we needed to do and almost immediately we were able to retain him for a reasonable fee. Most impressively, Jacob allowed us to retain him a week before our court day and had paralegals who went above and beyond to ensure that we were well prepared the day of court with such little notice. Jacob is also based out of the Koreatown/Downtown area but traveled to Santa Monica to represent us. Jacob, has truly been a Godsend -- needless to say, the settlement ended victoriously for us and the outcome was way better than what we were initially anticipating. Jacob is admirable, honest, highly professional, diplomatic and truly FIGHTS! read more

From the moment I contacted his office, I was treated with kindness and professionalism, which made such a stressful time in my life so much easier to handle.

One thing that stood out was how attentive and friendly the staff was. Every call I made was answered promptly, and I was always kept in the loop about what was happening with my case.

They connected me with an amazing physical therapist who helped me regain my strength and mobility after the accident.

Jacob Partiyeli is an excellent attorney. He is very knowledgeable and an expert in tenant law. He is also very compassionate and what he does for you is priceless. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an attorney who will fight for you. I appreciated that I could have a free consultation with Jacob in person. With many other law firms you usually have to speak to the attorney's assistant instead of meeting with the attorney himself. When I first met with Jacob, I had a really good feeling about him and felt that he would be the right person to help me with my case. He is very honest and straightforward, and he will tell you exactly what he can do for you. I had a very unique tenant case where I was named as a defendant in an Unlawful Detainer lawsuit and I wanted to be dismissed from the case as I was not a proper defendant. I was never served with the lawsuit and then I found out that I had a Default Judgment issued against me because I had not provided an answer in a timely manner. A few other attorneys did not want to take my case because it was such an unusual one. Jacob took on my case and handled the entire process of getting the motion to set aside the Default Judgment granted, filed an Answer at the same time, got me dismissed from the case and the record sealed, all in one hearing. For me, Jacob was God sent and a miracle worker. I would like to thank Jacob and Elisa, his assistant, for all their hard work in getting me dismissed from the case. I am very happy as I write this review. If you need an attorney, please do not hesitate to call or go see Jacob Partiyeli. read more

I'd like to take this opportunity to recommend Jacob Fights to anyone considering engaging their offices for legal representation. Throughout the duration of my case, they have been consummate professionals and I could not be happier. Dr. Armando Reyes was my attorney and he is exceptional. As an attorney myself, I can shed some light on what distinguishes Dr. Reyes from his peers. Dr. Reyes is a standout who inspires other attorneys to rise to a higher standard, by the example he sets professionally and personally for himself. Skilled with an encyclopedic-like command of all areas of California procedural and substantive law, he is a true worthy adversary and fierce negotiator I'd be nervous to face in court - he's that good. The better acquainted we became, I learned that his strong spirit and positive energy are unmatched. Dr. Reyes is a true class act, albeit a tough one! Big thanks to Jacob, Wes and the entire staff at Jacob Fights. They've assembled a thoughtful, kind and efficient team who somehow transformed the anxiety-inducing litigation space into one of support and comfort. I'd definitely retain their offices again for any legal issues. read more

This was my first time dealing with legal issues, so I was largely in the dark as to how to go about selecting a lawyer, and given all the legal options Los Angeles has to offer, it was overwhelming to say the least. I chose Jacob Partiyeli's firm, and could not have been more content with the outcome. From Day One; Mr. Partiyeli and Armando were very receptive to my concerns and openly willing to listen to the complex nature of my highly unconventional case. Naturally, I had an endless amount of questions regarding my plight, and how I should proceed forward on a daily basis. However, I always felt as though Jacob and Armando were always just a quick email away, which essentially, is everything I feel a lawyer should embody today - - integrity, diligence, communication, and execution. I would highly recommend! read more

He truly cares about his clients and will not sleep to get things done for his clients. I would email him and he would always promptly respond with answers.

I was really struggling with the owner of the property I lived in, so I sought help and found these law offices. They directed me to work with Armando who was wonderful, he had a very likeable personality and was genuine about helping us. Me and my wife felt like we were in a hopeless situation and our kids were suffering because of it. But after speaking to Armando he gave us confidence that he would take care of it. The law office had gone through a period of silence, they assured us they were handling our case. Then when we least expected it Armando gave us the best news ever, which allowed us to have peace of mind and relocate. I look forward to working with this law office for anything that they cover. read more
