We recently availed ourselves of Bruce Julian Kitchin's free 30-minute consultation…read more Talk about Bang for the Buck! The consult went beyond 30 minutes but Mr. Kitchin kept answering our questions and gave us solid advice that helped us resolve our matter in an extremely affordable way. We found he was an excellent, patient listener. He was also compassionate, intelligent, and well-versed in a broad spectrum of the law. Our matter was "a little out of his domain," as noted below--but he advised us with common-sense instructions. We followed them and happily resolved our case. Our legal matter? Custody of a DOG. We'd found Kitchin under reviews of "Dog Attorneys." He told us, "Oh. I do dog BITES!" [^_^] Anyway his advice was spot on and we got our Family Dog back. Though Kitchin doesn't specialize in "dog custody" he adroitly translated tenets of the law to our specific case. This was of great benefit to us. And all for free. While it's true we didn't formally retain Bruce Kitchin, what he attained for us (getting our puppy home) was PRICELESS, as you dog owners probably know. Don't know what a mathematician or investor would call it but that's like getting an infinite return on zero invested. Kitchin studied at Santa Clara University -- a decent law school.

Years ago, I asked a friend in the legal community for a recommendation for an eviction attorney…read more She said she couldn't recommend Bob, but that he was a ruthless shark when it came to evicting deadbeat tenants. Sold! I contacted Bob, and set the eviction wheels in motion with a $1,500 cashiers' check. Bob and his staff made this such a painless process for me. Such efficiency and professionalism! Now, I adore Bob because he and I can cuss and fuss with each other! We enjoy telling each other how smart we are! You must take off your shoes if you enter Bob's office. Personally, I think this has less to do with being Japanese, than with putting visitors in a subordinate position. It makes me smile! If you have any self-confidence issues, I wouldn't recommend consulting Bob. If you are a question-authority type of person and you want a street fighter in your corner, better call Bob!

Although every NHEH attorney I have met has been impressive, I have the most experience with Daniel Little and Lindsey Berg-James who are outstanding and there fees very reasonable. New York skills and Salinas prices.
