We hired James Burns to help us create our living trust. He was nothing short of exceptional. As…read morethis was our first time going through this process, James was very patient and explained every detail to us. I found James on Yelp and he certainly lived up to his 5 star reviews. Setting up an initial appointment with him was easy peasy. We actually did a zoom call for the first meeting, as it occurred during the Covid pandemic. He sent us some initial paperwork to fill out, and that's what we discussed during our zoom call. The second meeting was at his office, as we had to sign the paperwork with a notary present. The meeting went smoothly and fast. Their office is located in Aliso Viejo in a professional office environment. The next day, our binder with all the paperwork was available for pick up. We were so impressed with how organized and efficient they are! We enjoyed James's mild demeanor, kind personality and strong attention to detail. We are so glad that we chose James to help us through this process, and would highly recommend him to anyone!

It was a little bit of a rough start with him and we all thought that one another was being rude when we all took time to explain what was going on for us as individuals everybody was able to take a deep breath calm down and he gave us fantastic customer service.

So far, I've only spoken to Trish, OMG she's amazing-if I didn't need help desperately I'd still…read morehope to meet Trish. I love when service agents can "read-the-room". If they can't my case, I absolutely understand. So clearly I'm already raving about MBK because if the attorneys are as professional and receptive as Trish, say less! I'm shocked at how affordable, at least, the cost for initial consultation is. I am so emotional to finally get to speak to someone that may be able to help me through this nightmare and not have to send my kids out to help pay. LOL... at this point with the malfeasance of my HOA, and my attempt at litigating in pro per, I don't know how much more I can survive and I'm sure this is where ever opposing party want's their opponents to be.

What fantastic service!…read more My family and I reached out to receive advice on liability (a leak in the HOA's exterior wall led to mold in my unit), and Sam Khil provided a remarkably detailed breakdown of everything we needed to know. We had questions as well, and he was able to respond with off-the-cuff citations of specific codices. He remained patient and helpful when certain elements were confusing to us, and even went thirty minutes long at no extra charge! I know his schedule must not always allow for such generosity. Still, the fact that he chooses to offer that when he can only serves to demonstrate how committed he is to providing the best possible care for his clients and potential clients. He was very clear about costs as well, offering refreshingly honest evaluations of our potential needs, benefits, and fees. The entire company seems very well run, providing thorough expertise in their area of focus. Should my family and I ever need to engage a lawyer in a more extended capacity, we will definitely be choosing MBK Chapman!

Attorney Anthony Dispoto is by far one of the best attorneys I've ever worked with. I've personally…read moreused Anthony on numerous commercial real estate transactions and every time he has been extremely detailed, responsive and really knows exactly what he is doing. What also helps a lot is that Anthony is also a California licensed real estate broker, so he understands both sides of the transaction. The legal side and the real estate side. That alone makes a huge difference when you're dealing with important commercial deals. Besides real estate, he has also helped me with other matters, including reviewing contracts for both my business and personal needs. He has guided me through different situations with a lot of knowledge and patience. Another thing I really appreciate is that he is extremely reasonable with his rates. For the level of service, experience and attention he gives, it is very fair. He is also always available by phone and extremely responsive, which is hard to find these days. I feel very fortunate to have Anthony on my side. I really can't speak enough about him. Anyone who uses his services will not regret it. Highly recommend.

Often the parties to the dispute engage attorneys to represent them in my mediation hearings. As a result, I've worked with over 100 attorneys during this process. Some have been controlling, ego-driven, unprofessional, insensitive, opportunistic, and/or some combination of these characteristics. However, I found Brian Ballo to be just the opposite! He was extremely professional, clearly understood all of the laws pertinent to the case, and yet, he displayed a level of sensitivity and respect towards the opposing parties that I've rarely seen in my past mediation experience. If I ever personally need an attorney to represent me in a legal dispute, BRIAN BALLO, Esq. would be at the top of my list to hire.

I came to them with a breach of contract issue and was honestly feeling pretty overwhelmed. Initial contact from Coast Counsel was very fast. I spoke with Michael who offered a free phone consultation and he put me at ease. He really knew the ins and outs of the situation and explained everything in a way that made sense, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. His phone etiquette was stellar and i felt valued and understood. What I appreciated most was how fair and accommodating Michael was when it came to pricing. It never felt like it was just about money--Michael genuinely cared about helping me resolve my issue; he did some additional research in relation to my issue which I thought was amazing of him to do! Communication was also excellent. Anytime I had a question or concern, Michael was quick to respond and always kept me in the loop so I never felt left in the dark. Thanks to Michael's guidance, I feel as if I was led to the best possible solution for what I came to him for. I'm so grateful I found Coast Counsel and Michael, and would recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate and easy to work with.
