    *AI SLOP* DO NOT HIRE…read more I hired Kayla and her firm to review a commercial lease and advise me on a minor billing dispute with my landlord (a $15 administrative fee on a third party bill). From the start, I made it clear that this wasn't about the amount, but about standing up for what was right under the terms of my lease. They said they could help. What I received in return for roughly six hours of billed time (around $2,400) was a memorandum that read exactly like what people call "AI slop" generic, repetitive, and almost entirely restating what I had already written in my own intake summary email. There was no meaningful legal analysis or application of the lease provisions, and several of my questions were completely ignored or misunderstood. It was exactly as if I just copied and pasted the email I sent to them and generated a "lease review". I went and tried it myself and got almost EXACTLY the same "lease review". It really missed the human element. An entire paragraph was dedicated to how if it wasn't a third party bill then they are correct in charging me this. This paragraph was the most obvious giveaway as I made it clear by uploading the bill and stating it on the phone this is a third party bill. This didn't make it to the AI slop "lease review" they generated because in my email text it wasn't specified, and typical of AI responses, they touch all the bases. When I followed up to clarify, the responses continued to miss the point. It felt like a mix of human element with AI assistance even with my communications with Kayla, so it caused a few email back and forths. I raised concern that the memo appeared to have been prepared using AI or some automated drafting tool, since it lacked the depth and reasoning expected of an attorney. That question was never addressed. To make matters worse, after taking on my case fully aware of the limited monetary value of the dispute, I was told only after the bill was run up that the issue was too small for the firm to pursue -- and that I should handle it myself in small claims court. This experience felt unprofessional, ethically questionable, and entirely inconsistent with the transparency expected under the California Rules of Professional Conduct. I do not recommend this firm for anyone expecting a genuine attorney review or personalized legal work. Furthermore I stand by my claim that what I received was AI slop, and am happy to share with anyone what I received so they can see it for themselves. Email me at boba29428@gmail.com if you're interested. As far as I'm concerned I paid $2400 for AI slop and a few back and forth emails to clarify AI slop.

    I know the reason why people hate attorneys. And the way this firm works is one reason behind it. I…read morespend $10,000 to resolve Absolutely nothing they led me in the wrong direction. They had all of the information and for two months we're trying to go after an individual that I believe was wrong and it took him two months to tell me oh we can't go after him. It has to be this other person total waste of time total waste of money and on top of that I get my last invoice and which they charge me just to talk to me about canceling my counsel. In order to save you guys money don't go here. Total fraud waste of freaking time..

    I had had a challenging dispute with an HVAC contractor previously worked by another attorney…read morewithout appropriate specialization in construction matters. I was bleeding in both legal hours spend and diminished competence in legal representation in very proportional ways. I sought out different representation for a better specialist in such matters and moved to Brian Andrews to correctly finish the job. My only regret is that I hadn't brought him on from the beginning. He presented a scope of deliverables for a determined rate and executed well on arriving at the agreed settlement amount with the other party as well as terms I could accept, staying within his reasonable retainer rate agreed on. Brian and his legal staff (special mention to Prince) remained very available and responsive throughout our engagement. I learned this from Brian quickly: Legal matters are like medical ones in that specialization by your attending professional is EVERYTHING. I highly recommend Brian and Andrews Law Group for competent representation on construction defect law.

    Thank goodness Mr. Andrews showed me his true colors before I signed a contract or paid him a…read moreretainer. His lack of professionalism first raised a red flag when he was typing "u" for "you" in texts to me. We had never spoken on the phone and he kept failing to follow up when he said he was going to. After not hearing from him for an entire week, I moved on and found a different attorney. When I let him know that I found a different attorney, rather than being a professional and taking true accountability for his lack of follow through and wishing me the best, he lost his actual mind through text. Some direct quotes: "I'm sorry to hear that and I'm not being sarcastic when I tell you that you probably will regret it." "You're probably benching the G.O.A.T And sending in the second stringer who's not gonna be as kind to you or successful as I would have been but no offense to whomever you've hired or to your decision to make it I'm just being honest." "I stand by every word I txted. If u take my very clear honesty as unprofessionalism than that it's just your confusion. I am entitled to tell u the truth. You're entitled to be confused. Gd luck. Gd bye." "It's your funeral dear." "You do not have the experience to know which lawyer is best for you." "You are entitled to your foolish opinion and I am entitled to my more informed opinion so let's just leave it at that." So if you want an egomaniacal attorney that's not going to listen to you or take real accountability when they make mistakes, this is probably the right place for you.

    Working with Valerie and Garcia Hong Law was a wonderful experience. She and her team defended us…read morein a very complex civil litigation. She was always prepared, responsive, and dependable. She answered all of our questions in a very timely and capable manner. I appreciate that she used all of her resources and experience to support us. If I ever need legal services again, I will definitely reach out to Garcia Hong Law. Highly recommended!

    Highly Recommend Honest Supportive and Realistic…read more We weren't clients of this firm but out of the 30 plus lawyers we spoke with regarding my dad's civil sexual harassment case they stood out immediately. Instead of pushing him to settle for something he was innocent of they took the time to explain the situation clearly and gave us real guidance. What impressed us most was their honesty and compassion. They offered a fair and realistic quote, something actually affordable for someone in my dad's position, not the tens of thousands that big companies can easily spend. They treated him like a person, not a paycheck. Although we ultimately got the case dismissed through another route we left with a lot of respect for the way this firm operates. Professional, transparent, and genuinely looking out for the client's best interest. They are definitely in our top two choices for any future civil matters. If you want a firm that truly cares and gives you straight answers this is one of them.
