Vincent Tong came recommended, I hired him, he resolved the matter in my favor, and I'm quite glad I did hire him. Vincent got it quickly, understood the relevant California law, and gave me clear, strategic advice from the start. He "handled it" with minimal input from me but the communication throughout was great. He drafted strong, thoughtful correspondence that protected my position without unnecessarily escalating the situation. Vincent was responsive, steady, and experienced. My highest recommendation to Vincent and Tong Law if you are dealing with a cease-and-desist, or other type of California-specific employment issue. He's a good guy too - and fun to work with.

If I could separate stars I would. Deanna deserves a 5 star for showing compassion, asking if I was…read moreok when I called balling my eyes out, and genuinely listening and acting like she cared. William on the other hand? no. I called him with a potential Lemon Law case. The ONLY reason he didn't take the case was because the source of potential dangerous fume entering car or leak had not been discovered yet by the 3 Kia Dealerships. 1 Independent shop verified it though but couldn't figure out where it was located. Under the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act (California Lemon Law): Kia does NOT have to successfully diagnose the problem for your claim to be valid. If they can't find or fix it after a reasonable number of attempts, that can still make the vehicle a lemon. California focuses on: Whether a defect exists that's covered under warranty Whether it substantially impairs use, value, or safety Whether Kia was given a reasonable number of repair attempts --not whether they figured out the root cause. What counts as a "reasonable number" in California? There's no strict universal number, but courts often use these guidelines: 2+ attempts if it's a serious safety issue (stalling, braking, etc.) 4+ attempts for non-safety issues 30+ total days in the shop for any warranty issue Even if every invoice says: "Could not duplicate" "No problem found" Those visits can still count. Why your situation can actually be strong Cases where dealers say "we can't find anything" often become good lemon law claims because: You consistently reported the same issue The manufacturer had multiple chances The problem was never fixed That legally looks like: They were unable to repair the vehicle--regardless of diagnosis I had a good case needless to say with TONS of documentation supporting it. What makes it worse is after a horrific situation occured the following day at the last dealership my car was at I called Deanna hysterical. I am disabled and also suffer from Autism so this break down was particulary awful. I needed kindness which Deanna provided. When William got on the phone he told me he still needed that problem found. That I cant sue people for being mean. And when I mentioned fraudulent documents being made from the dealership which falls under Common law fraud, state consumer protection acts, and specific regulations like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Used Car Rule he still showed no interest and in a stern voice told me to take my business elsewhere. Would not recommend. I have several other lawyers interested in helping me now. I even filed the Lemon Law letter all by myself when I was asking for help. Would not recommended. Deanna- go open your own Law Firm you will be highly successful. Stay compassionate!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I called out to the Amazon driver and this man opened his window and called me the N-word in front of several of my neighbors. As a black American, I have experienced racism far too many times to count. I was overcome by several emotions. Rage, frustration, fatigue. Fatigue at having to deal with this sort of sickness, cancer. Saddened that so many of us have to deal with it. I decided not to lash out and set out on a mission to search for an attorney who handles such cases. I was very fortunate because it did not take me long to find attorney Devin Coyle. Attorney Coyle worked for months locating the parties he needed to locate. He genuinely cared about my case and was troubled by my story. I felt extremely relieved that my case was being handled by this particular attorney. This is why I know for a fact that if you find yourself in a situation where you've been harassed for racial, political or for some other reason listed under protected class, you should definitely reach out to Attorney Devin Coyle. I hope to never find myself needing an attorney for this purpose again but if I do ever find myself dealing with something similar or some of the same old thing, this is the Attorney I will be reaching out to.
