I had an issue with my insurance company that they wouldn't pay the full price for my stolen Item…read morebecause they keep telling me I used this item for the business. Although I purchase this item with my personal credit card and had nothing to do with my business. They gave me part of the money and they keep hovering me to different departments for my case. I contacted Miles & Westbrook and I talked to Joel. I will just tell you that he is an amazing guy. most of the stuff that he did was upfront and he told me he would do everything to solve the case. To be honest I was not really sure what would happen after a few months of struggling with Lemonade( the insurance company) he finally got them to settle the case with their lawyers. I can't appreciate enough for his dedication for my case. I highly suggest him to anyone and I will use him for my futures legal stuff. Amazing service!!

He was super nice, and provided me with some great information as just a really nice gesture. He even advised some cheaper options we might want to go with. Through the leads he gave me, we actually decided to go a more cost-effective route. But, this practice has generated a lot of goodwill in case we have future needs in the areas they specialize in (or come across logical referral opportunities). Thank you Jon (and team... the person I first spoke to was great too)!

I reached out to Alex for legal advice regarding a tenant who had failed to pay rent, and I'm…read moreextremely grateful for his guidance throughout the process. Alex is an experienced landlord attorney who provided sound, strategic advice that helped us navigate a very sensitive situation successfully. Thanks to Alex's expertise, we were able to work collaboratively with the tenant and help them transition to a different apartment without needing to move forward with court proceedings or mediation. His deep understanding of landlord-tenant matters, especially within San Francisco's highly complex and challenging rental market, was incredibly valuable. Alex is thoughtful, pragmatic, and clearly very experienced working with landlords on difficult cases. I highly recommend Alex to anyone seeking knowledgeable and effective legal representation for landlord-tenant matters.

GETTING A TRUST: Trust McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell as she is as sharp as a tack! What…read morea pleasant positive experience it was using McKenna to make my Trust. Hearing all the buzz on making sure you have a Trust in place; but also hearing of the nightmares with the court system when you DON'T have a Trust in place, I KNEW I needed one. So I searched and called McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell in Walnut Creek. This office has plenty of parking which was a plus for me. It is located very close to Whole Foods in Walnut Creek. I was greeted at the office door with a welcoming smile and immediately proceeded to meet McKenna in her office. She went through the Trust procedure precisely and in a way that I understood it; not confusing me with all the legal words/terms. She answered all my questions and gave me plenty of time to ask them all; and there were a lot. Indeed it was a very easy meeting full of education and knowledge. I knew right away that I wanted McKenna of Blackstock & Barsell to do my Trust. McKenna also promptly answered all my after-meeting telephone questions that had popped into my head later when I got home and the week after. I said yes to her doing my Trust and the ease it took to come to the final paperwork was astonishing. McKenna is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, tentative, expeditious and organized. AFTER TRUST FINALIZED AND FUTURE: McKenna is a hands-on person! Every time I call her with questions, she gets back to me promptly which is a rarity these days. For instance, I had a question about something I heard on the street about Power of Attorney and she quickly called me back and updated me. When I bought some property it was a quick call to her and it was taken care of. Hands-on McKenna has sent me educational emails of law changes which may affect my generation in case we need to change anything in our Trust. I can't begin to write how happy and secure I feel with McKenna Koepke of Blackstock & Barsell working on my behalf.

We worked with McKenna to help us with our estate planning, she was knowledgeable and pleasant to…read morework with. She also made the process super simple and straightforward. The turnaround time from our first meeting to when she was able to complete the documents was not long at all. We would definitely recommend her to others for the same services!

Great parent which becomes obvious when you get to know his family. I had known Sean for a couple of years before needing any legal assistance but when the need arose Sean was the first call I made. Over the past few years I have had Sean handle several legal matters and have to say that I could not be more pleased. What you get here is an honest attorney (probably one of the few) who is organized, hard working and cares about his clients. Sean is a master at research so if does not know an answer he will not stop looking until he finds the correct answer. Thanks Sean!

We have some real estate investments and my husband owns a small business and Sean helped us with some legal matters for both. He will talk honestly with you and tell you what your options and risks are. That's so important because dealing with legal matters is confusing and it's not easy to make decisions. Sean made it easy. He is always very fair on the pricing and he's clear and upfront about that which is so important and helpful.
