Let me state the facts and only the facts…read more They do not give any copies of paperwork to the client, none, nada zip! Never! They do not communicate well, no email, no phone calls. They are rude, they speak down to clients. They do not explain fees/costs well, in fact they do not even go over fees and give no final case closing or list of fees. Seems odd, seems strange and seeems illegal. SEEMS is key word. They dont keep good records, seems they lost our original contract. Yep, loco eh? No records, no papertrail does not make for good lawyering. I would not recommend this firm to my worst enemy. These are the facts of the experience with Terbeek law.

I worked with David Levine for several years on a particularly difficult case…read more When the case initially transpired, I found myself thrown into the fire with Mr. Levine. Shortly thereafter, my anti-attorney mindset was pleasantly set aside as he is a rare breed - saying what he meant, meaning what he said and doing what he said he would do. The kind of man that firmly believes your word over a handshake is ironclad. He did his homework on every issue and passionately advocated for his client in an impressive and ethical yet determined manner. As our negotiating styles were collaboratively compatible, we were able to save our clients an enormous amount of time and thousands of dollars in unnecessary litigation fees and costs. The respect and admiration that I acquired for Mr. Levine during that case established a substantial foundation for our professional relationship such that I consult with him when I need a second opinion for my own practice and even when I need an ear on a nonprofessional matter. I continue to refer business to him, including close personal friends, because I know that anyone fortunate enough to have their case accepted by his office will receive exceptional service from a man who will do everything he can to protect the best interests of his client.

My business partner and I have turned to David Levine on two occassions to help us with some…read morebusiness law needs. First, he drafted our partnership documents to ensure we were both on the same page as to how the business was to be run. I am sure this has helped us avoid potential arguments as we are both the alpha dog. Second, when our building wanted to kick us out of the 18th floor suite we had just moved into and relocate us to the 6th floor David went to the mat and scared those little crybabies in building management into dropping the whole plan. This was a BIG real estate holder/management firm in the bay area and they wanted to move us to lease out an entire floor to a big internet music streaming company (same name as the planet in Avatar), but because we were the squeaky wheel and David was the semi-truck that demolished the building management team (flown in from So Cal especially to negotiate some sort of deal with us), we were able to continue looking down on the city of Oakland rather than stare at the building accross the street from the 6th floor.

I sought assistance from Centro Legal de La Raza regarding a housing matter and initially raised…read moreconcerns with supervisors about communication and strategy issues involving one of their attorneys. I was encouraged to continue working with him and was told he was highly regarded, so I gave the relationship another chance. Unfortunately, I continued to feel excluded from important decisions in my own case. At one point, I was informed after the fact that discussions were moving toward settlement and that trial or pretrial preparation would not be necessary because opposing counsel had a settlement agreement prepared. I did not feel adequately consulted during that process. Ultimately, I decided to terminate representation and proceed on my own. I later successfully prevailed in the case without that attorney's assistance. I appreciate the mission of the organization and understand legal aid offices are often overwhelmed, but my personal experience left me feeling unheard and unsupported during a very stressful time. I also acknowledge that others may have very different experiences than mine. This review reflects only my personal experience. I would encourage anyone seeking representation to know their rights, ask questions, and explore multiple legal options before deciding who to work with.
