From the very beginning, he was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my case. He took the time to explain everything clearly and ensured I understood each step of the process, which gave me real peace of mind during such a stressful time. What truly sets Paul apart is his commitment to his clients. He was always accessible, clear, and never made me feel like just another case. His communication was consistent and transparent, which built a strong sense of trust throughout the entire process. If you're looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also truly dedicated and willing to go above and beyond, Paul van der Walde is the one you want on your side. I highly recommend him without hesitation. Thank you Paul , Shawn , Evangelina .

I was calling for a friend who had just been in a car accident and was feeling overwhelmed. Don was incredibly professional and courteous, and he patiently walked me through the entire process. You can tell they are passionate about what they do and genuinely care about helping people. I really appreciated how transparent he was about everything. If I ever need a personal injury attorney myself, they will be my first call. Highly recommend!

Cecelia is a nice person. She will spend the 1st (free) hour to listen to your story. She will even…read morehave you fill a form where she write down your objectives and priorities. So the deal should be very clear. (In my case litigate until the court date then drop it and sign) From this point she will file your paper (that you could file yourself by just reading the court website) But in my case she missed some important dead lines putting me in a weak position against my spouse lawyer (who used this delay to their benefits). As it happened 2-3 times in a 3 weeks time frame she didn't seems to worry and just blamed the computer system... She also did not follow my specific written requests and just follow her usual course of action. For intense she committed to litigate for 3 weeks until the audience, but fail to contact the other party until 2 days before the meeting. The meeting was unprepared (I had to write the agenda and topic to discuss) Last during the litigation meeting, she put pressure on me to sign a document I didn't want "because the judge would like it". She promised that her "advise will save me a lot of money in the long run". I'm glad I didn't follow her advise to sign this agreement and went to court instead : 6 months later the court ruled in my favor on all 13 issues but 1 and it saved me a lot of money. And most importantly I got 45% of my my daughter custody. I have to admit the other party was strong, but Cecelia is not ready to litigate against them as she claims. She is indeed a nice person. But this is not what you need to hire for a litigation. I want this review to be nice, specific and constructive but I was very frustrated but the lake of commitment.

I reached out to Shahram Miri's office and it was inherently obvious that I need not look any further to seek help. Mr. Miri took my call immediately (even following a holiday weekend) and he took time out of his busy schedule to explain in detail about inner workings of a family trust. The professionalism, kindness and patience he showed me was incredibly generous while completely putting my mind at ease. Sha is extremely knowledgeable and honest, plus he doesn't waste time in getting right to the heart of the matter. Sha even sent a follow-up email to provide me with additional information after reviewing the trust documents. I highly recommend Shahram Miri for ANY of your estate planning, will and trust issues or probate matters. He's the best!

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND HER FOR ANY SERVICES! I called Shiva…read morefor advice before consulting with my attorney and she gave me some reassurance and information regarding how much I would receive on my taxes. My attorney spoke with her and told me if I ever needed more information to call her and he would cover my consultations with her. My initial feel from talking to her was pretty awful from the start because she immediately would cut me off and say she has a rate to continue talking, but I would explain to her that I just had a general question regarding my settlement. She was very rude, but as I mentioned she gave me information that made me feel better and more comfortable with how my attorney handled the process. Fast forward to last week, I call her back because I lost a good chunk of money when I did my taxes and I tried to give her a call. She asked who I was and that she didn't have an emails, so I reminded her and she said she would call me back. I didn't hear back for a few days, so I called again. She ended up picking up and I said I had some questions since she told me one thing and something else ended up happening..... she began to get very rude and SNAPPY with me and then said that she never said any of that.... However, I was the one affected from it, so of course I'm going to remember our conversation since it was valuable to me. She HUNG UP on me while I was telling to not speak to me that way. She was extremely unprofessional and she just tries to make you feel inferior.

At the outset, I…read moreexplained that I was unfamiliar with business tax matters, and she assured me she would be happy to guide us through the process. Unfortunately, Ms. Moozoun was dismissive and condescending when we asked questions about our tax situation. Her responses were often rude and made both myself and my husband hesitant to seek clarification on important matters. She also provided problematic business advice, including recommending a payroll service that was not appropriate for my needs and guidance on business incorporation that proved to be ill-suited for my practice. This was an extremely disappointing professional experience. I regret trusting her assurances that she would be patient and supportive, and following her recommendations regarding incorporation and payroll services has created additional complications for my business. I am still dealing with the consequences of this work together today, nearly two years later.

I was very pleased with the services of Jonathan Jackel of Rousso & Jackel. Without too much…read moredetail, I was employed for many years by a large out-of-state corporation who forfeited my unused vacation hours each year. When I resigned from the company I requested payment of my forfeited hours of vacation but was rebuffed. I retained Jonathan Jackel after interviewing several other law firms. I hope he is not offended by my comments, but I choose Jonathan because he was the most down-to-earth individual of all the attorney's interviewed. He didn't appear to have a huge ego and he came across as genuine and trustworthy. Also, in my opinion it is important in wage claims cases, particularly in front of the DLSE, to have an attorney who knows the system and who doesn't come off as a slick corporate attorney. On to my story, the company fought my claim and at a DLSE hearing Jonathan represented me while a large corporate law firm attorney from Los Angeles represented the employer. The result was a victory in the DLSE hearing for $33K. But all was not over. Of course my former employer appealed the case to the Superior Court of CA. This meant we started all over again and it eventually ends up with a trial. Although the process took about 3-years due to the court system, we eventually went to trial in front of a Judge, known as a "De Novo" or "bench trial." Again, the slick corporate attorney from LA representing my former employer and Jonathan Jackel representing me. We met beforehand to prepare, even meeting on a Sunday for several hours (wow). Jonathan was well prepared with a trial binder with all exhibits numbered, organized and easy to find. He encourages his client to participate and read all of the materials. Come Monday we start trial, Jonathan makes his opening statement and then I take the stand for the next 4 1/2 hours. Just like the movies, the defense attorney tries to get me to slip up on the witness stand, Jonathan does what he needs to do when appropriate and by the end of the day the judge said she was ready to give us her verdict. Despite the tactics of the defense attorney and their witness who lied, Jonathan stuck to our case and we were victorious, winning a judgement of $48K plus attorney's fees which I am guessing will be about another $17K back to me, for a total of approximately $65K. I highly recommend Jonathan, he is ethical, intelligent, witty and most of all, effective. He knows labor law and how to present an argument on behalf of a plaintiff.

Should you find yourself in a similar situation, do not hesitate to give Nora or Jonathan a call.
