Richard Force Hill came highly recommended as a will and trust lawyer -- someone on my college…read morealumni email list raved about his integrity and thoroughness. So, I emailed to ask him about a simple will. He asked a few questions and directed me to a will making method that meets our needs very cheaply, without being in any way a moneymaker for himself. I appreciate so much how kind and honest that is, forgoing income because there's an easier way to refer us to! If I had another need I would definitely come back to him, and I feel this interaction spoke extremely highly of him in itself!

We called Len about a contract to handle a real estate issue within our household. He talked to my…read morepartner for about 20 minutes. And after hearing her out and having all of his questions answered, he said this was something he could do and that it would require 3 hours of his time at $700 per hour. Not too bad - we agreed. So we met with him to share more of the details. It was clear he hadn't listened well, but we thought we talked through the issues and our needs. One new point came up that he said he would need to research. At the conclusion, he said this was not so straight forward but that he could do it in 4-5 hours, including the one we just spent. Again we agreed. Len committed to send a legal services agreement and a waiver for representing both sides of our contract. He never sent either. The day we were expecting a draft he sent a note saying he was tied up in court and would be in touch the next day. Okay, that happens. But no word the next day. Three days later we pinged him looking for a draft. He replied in a note with more typos than new pieces of information. It concluded with "This transaction is far beyond my usual simple TIC agreements..." and names of two other attorneys (one of whom also named Rifkind) that might better be able to help. He had fired us as clients. But wait... there's more. He had the temerity to send us a bill for the "work done", including for the intro call (typically on the attorney's dime) and the time required to write us the brush off note. We held our noses and paid the bill. I considered writing a review like this but thought better of it. Today Len sent a collection notice for the bill, two weeks after our check for payment in full cleared our bank. So Len, with all the information he wanted, failed to figure out that he couldn't or wouldn't help us, agreed to the work, wasted three weeks in our time sensitive process, delivered none of what he promised, charged us egregiously, and now harassed us without cause. I wish we had read Janice M.'s review before calling Len. It's in the "not recommended by yelp" section but is exactly our experience.

Len Rifkind is a highly skilled and seasoned attorney. But what really sets him apart is his…read moreintegrity and professionalism. Just over 2 years ago, we were fortunate enough to retain him as plaintiffs counsel based on a strong recommendation. We could not be happier with our decision! Len deftly navigated numerous challenges, obstacles, and delay tactics set out by the defendants, always seeking to find the shortest path to resolving the case. We always felt that Len really cared about the case, put our interests before his own and tried to limit costs whenever possible. We also appreciated that he set realistic expectations and timelines, and provided helpful guidance throughout the case. Through a successful mediation, the defendants ultimately agreed to fix the problem and compensate us for our damages. Should we require a lawyer in the future, our first call will be to Len!

We have a legal plan through UCSF & John Rueppel was one of the attorneys in the plan. We needed…read morean estate plan with a Living Trust, will & other appropriate documents. During our first meeting, John spent nearly 1-1/2 hours explaining the process of making a Living Trust (not to be confused with a Living Will, though that's included as part of the Trust) & all of the things we needed to consider in deciding how to set things up. There were so many things we'd never thought about & John was sensitive, calm, honest, & extremely helpful in giving us guidelines to make these decisions. During the process of getting information to John & making these decisions, he was great in answering all our questions promptly via both email & phone. We are totally happy with every stage of this complicated process & John really made it as smooth as it could be. We also found his rates to be very reasonable--even if we hadn't had the legal plan, the cost would still have been good.

You are welcome to contacct me to discuss this…read more Bunn is a 'good' attorney; the term being relative. Family, and most, Law is dictated by the money paid to an attorney. Attorneys by nature will follow the money. By nature you have a group of people who sacrifice all integrity for money. No justice.....just win. If you want to just 'win' and throw any hope of raising a kid in harmony, hire this guy. He's a Columbia Lawyer and his taking his high price degree, (and intellect), into family law, for money. He's dishonest, but that's the game. Bad person = good lawyer.

I found David Bunn through a recommendation of a friend, who'd had a very difficult and lengthy…read moremediation using another attorney, and after hiring David, was able to come to a settlement in a quick and straightforward manner. She highly recommended him to me because she thought he was able to settle things which had been dragged out for years, and saw me struggling with the same issues (having to continue to battle over non-issues simply for the sake of having something to fight about). I also found him to be extremely helpful and professional in every way, right from the very first meeting, and similarly, after a lengthy mediation using another attorney, I gave up on that course of action and hired David. He saved me time and money, because every step of the way he was prepared and able to come to court and other meetings and have a successful outcome. I found David to be very fair and courteous to both my ex-husband and his attorney, but also was able to bring my ex-husband to a very quick and advantageous (to me) settlement. His thorough knowledge of the court system and precedents streamlined the entire process, and additionally, I found him and everyone in his office to be tremendously supportive during a difficult time. My daughter, who was going through her late teen years at the time, later told me that she thought I had visibly relaxed and was able to focus more time and energy towards her and our home life after hiring David. I have personally recommended David at least 7 or 8 times to friends and acquaintances, and will continue to do so. I can't think of another attorney I would rather have represent me during such a difficult process. Simply put, David Bunn is the best! Honest, trustworthy, reliable, and calm in the face of a difficult time period in the dissolution of a marriage.
