Phillip is a master at his craft (LAW) he responded with detail and strength he kept us apprised of our case and calmed all our fears. We believe that if it had not been for Phillip we would have had to pay a huge sum of money. We not only have gained a trusted reliable lawyer but a true friend I recommend Phillip Diamond of The Lerman Law Group for all your legal matters Superman will get the job done.

It is an emotional, frightening process but Phil will floor you with his meticulous preparation and attention to detail throughout your path to resolution, and it's remarkable for your representative to actually have such an elevated bedside manner, too-- we needed it, and upon resolution of the matter we consider him a friend. He's been around the block-- you'll receive incredible insight into likely options and phases of the process, and it meant the world to us to be able to have some expectations set as we sailed into foreign waters. We marveled at the quality of his communications with us and the other party, and he brings exemplary advocacy for your interests, with a wealth of stunningly clever and wise protections that will preserve your rights and seek only fair, advantageous compromises (if amicable closure is what you seek, that is... I wager if we'd wanted to draw out a protracted battle that Phil would've been the bulldog you'd always hoped to have in your corner). We can't recommend him highly enough, and welcome inquiries on his behalf if that would help your decision.

Frederiksen-Crawford has been doing our taxes for 4 years now and every single year they do a fantastic job leaving us consistently pleasantly surprised at the end of tax season. Our taxes are moderately complicated with some W2 stuff, some self-employment business stuff, rental property, property sales (capital gains), etc. and while some firms I have worked with in the past struggled to get it all correct and submitted on time, Frederiksen-Crawford has been meticulous about getting it all correct, on time every single year. They are professional, informative, easy to work with, diligent, and effective and make what could be a painful tax season feel fair and relatively painless. Thank you Frederiksen-Crawford! We'll see you next year.

Diabolical We were…read morelooking for a long term person to work on our taxes as expats from the UK, so we thought Chris would be the right person. We asked would they be able to take on our case before the tax deadline (a month or two before), they said they could and I pretty much provided all the documents needed in a few days. However a month or two later just before the deadline we were assigned to someone called Steven Daniel - he was without a doubt the absolute worst person we've ever dealt with in terms of client experience. He would ask us stupid questions like can we convert an image to a document for him to which I pointed out there are plenty of tools online for that. They filed an extension without telling us we would be liable for any interest. A month or so passes and they then start following up with questions saying they are nearly done. Another month passed and they upload the preliminary tax bill into their portal without telling us. The tax bill was a lot higher than expected, I clarified this with Chris, sent the money to the IRS and he said nothing more was needed. Another month passes and Steven emails us asking would we like to file the tax return. WTF Steven?!? The man is clearly an absolute imbecile and did not work out when I said we have paid the IRS (for which he was in the email) this means file the bloody return?!? I get a call from Chris apologising saying they will cover the interest. To this date I have never received this despite sending them the interest bill I paid off for several hundred dollars. For the luxury of all this madness, they charged me $1500. At that price I would be expecting a fairly high end service, this was beyond belief - I cannot fathom how they are happy to charge this for some of the worst professional service I have ever experienced. In short, steer clear unless you have more money than sense - if you hear the name Steven Daniel, run and do not look back.

From our first meeting, he was warm, friendly, and genuinely willing to spend as much time as we needed to understand the details. What impressed us most was his ability to think through scenarios we hadn't even considered. He didn't just fill out forms; he really looked at our specific situation and helped us plan for 'what-ifs' that were completely off our radar. If you are looking for an attorney who is thorough, patient, and a pleasure to work with, look no further than Michael.

Her free workshop/seminar was sooo well worth it. Did I mention FREE? Even if you don't decide to use her or get your act together sooner than later with someone else, you will walk away learning something. This attorney rents out the Little Gym in Sausalito/Marin City & hires a sitter if you've got kids, so you can be engaged in her presentation without worrying about the tykes. (There were even yummy sandwiches, fruit & drinks catered. The way to this girl's heart is definitely through her belly!) If you choose to set up an appointment with Thea for a private consultation, you can get a coupon at the workshop. Check out: http://thealaw.com/ to see her next upcoming FREE events. Thea is a "real" person as is all of her staff I've met or talked to over the phone. She listens & isn't charging you by the hour, so you don't feel like you've got to rush. After all, you're discussing one of the most grown-up things you'll ever do. You shouldn't have to feel hurried making such big decisions. At least go to the seminar if nothing else, but I'll be surprised if you don't trust your estate planning (& more!) to this Law Office.

I used to be a huge procrastinator which didn't make his job any easier and I'm surprised but pleased that Gabe didn't dump me as a client*. I now have a monthly accounting system in place that I designed myself, thanks to Google Sheets, so I can promptly and painlessly compile the previous year's info at the beginning of the tax year and get it to him in plenty of time before April 15. *I don't think he's the kind of professional that would dump a client, but I felt I probably deserved it at least once or twice!
