I then tried to call but no one picked up. Obviously, there's a cost for using their service but maybe providing a little context for how they are going to help me besides just saying it'll cost $800 would be advisable. Needless to say, I decided to go with someone else.

They did respond promptly, but the first words were "$900 for a consultation". When you have a…read moreclear cut case, you may not need a consultation, but rather an estimate of how much it costs for the legal paperwork, etc. (think residential real estate blatant contract violation by the seller where you just need an attorney to file a case and a lis pendens). Oh well - be warned. Update: after posting this, the attorney promptly reached out. We had a good quick chat about estimated litigation costs; I'll chalk the initial response above as a misunderstanding.

I worked with David Finkelstein on a difficult California real estate contract/escrow dispute and…read morereally appreciated his help throughout the process. He was calm, practical, responsive, and gave very grounded advice during a stressful situation. What I appreciated most was that he clearly explained both the legal risks and realistic negotiation strategies instead of making unrealistic promises. He helped us navigate the dispute professionally and ultimately reach a reasonable resolution. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a real estate contract or escrow issue.

From our first conversation, it was obvious she was the right choice and someone I definitely wanted in my corner. I'm very happy to report that we recently crossed the finish line and resolved the matter successfully. Talking with Irene is like consulting a friendly encyclopedia, she has an incredible wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. She walked me through every step of the process, always clearly explaining our legal strategy and all available options in a way that gave me confidence that my interests were protected. Irene's paralegal, Bryce, was great, too. He was always very quick to respond and made document management, signatures, and everything in between easy for me. I'm very thankful that Irene and Bryce were able to resolve what was the biggest headache I've ever had as a homeowner!

He's fluent in Spanish so it made it easy for my parents to understand the legal process! From the very beginning, he was more than just a legal advisor--he was a compassionate guide, ensuring that our family understood every step of the process.

Mark helped us with several different matters, including estate planning, living trusts, and family wills.

He truly made a difference in our lives and will always be our go-to in the future.

Abbie was our agent when we sold and bought a house in Burlingame, CA. I have to admit that the…read moreprocess of selling and purchasing is not the most pleasurable experience but Abbie made it bearable for us. I always felt like Abbie had our backs, providing guidance throughout the whole process and negotiating with the sellers to get us a deal we were comfortable with. We've dealt with other agents in the past and Abbie stands out as being very business-oriented and professional. It also helped that she was a lawyer and was able to answer all our questions with the mountain of paperwork involved. I felt very confident that Abbie was handling our sale and purchase with the appropriate amount of attention to detail (that we don't have). If we ever decide to sell our current house we will definitely use Abbie again.

Full disclosure; I haven't asked her to help us buy or sell a house. But she did help us out with a…read morecomparative market analysis on our property at the beginning of our refinance. She explained her process while giving us a mini lesson on how and why the market ebbs and flows. Calmly and politely, she gave us her thoughts. Very helpful. That was months ago. Since she's been checking in on us periodically, and sending us monthly emails on the state of the RE market. They're informative and not written as if for RE professionals. So nice! As an aside, we are relatively new to the area, and have a new baby. She was kind enough to recommend a couple of good daycares, and didn't even blink when we asked her! In a nutshell, Abbie is just a great, kind lady. She's the sort of person you'd want in your corner whether or not you're in the housing market.

I appreciated that he was not quick to take just any case that came across his desk. Once I presented my evidence, the conversation immediately shifted to "when," "next steps," and "we." He worked tirelessly with us on a very sensitive and tedious case that spanned several years. Throughout the process, he guided our family with patience and clarity, explained his strategy thoroughly, and offered thoughtful guidance so we were always prepared. We were extremely happy with his representation and highly recommend him.

Fausto Law was recommended by our Family Attorney. As a Corporate attorney, he was hired to protect…read morethe Corporations from disclosing privileged information. Instead of doing as he was hired, he asked for documents that belonged to my family case so he can later overbill. He never produced the privilege log and delayed producing the documents requested in discovery which he had received timely. His delay caused a costly Motion to compel that has taken over three years and over one Hundred thousand Dollars to defend. Mr. Mario Fausto is an unethical person, not only he did not do as he was hired, but despite the fact that his negligence cost us dearly, he overbilled us 26,000.00 for resubmitting 35 pages of discovery we provided. He also blackmail us to pay 1000.00 to write a declaration to defend the very Motion he was responsible for. Buyer Beware! dealing with Fausto's Law is like making a pact with the devil.
