I'm confused because in 1/2026 I was told that I'm no longer being represented! I talked with their paralegal about what happened. The paralegal schedule a meeting with the attorney so that I can cancel our contract. The attorney called to intimidate me into keeping him as my attorney. He started off by saying he's going to put a lien against me for all of the work he's done. There has been no communication with this attorney since the day I signed my contract. I hired them in hopes of receiving better treatment for my injury. He told me to stop yelling but yet he continued to talk over me. Go ahead and put your lien on me and send over the documents that I requested to cancel. Douche!

I'm not going to focus on the negative of my case because in messy family law matters, I realize…read morenothing is going to be perfect. I wasn't a fan of my ex husband hiring David's good friend as their lawyer, that just didn't sit right with me and I do feel at our last hearing I was backed into a corner and forced to make a decision in seconds OR we'd have to keep going back to court spending THOUSANDS of dollars. BUT..... again, my situation was an absolute mess that I could not have fought on my own. David and his team fought like hell to fix my custody situation that my ex completely blew out of proportion. Our divorce finally ended in 2022-23.... My ex was a very jealous man at that time, and the judge was pretty bias and made a quick decision before hearing my side of the story that she did not like to me it was absolute hell trying to get her to see the full picture . $72,000 later I finally got my daughter back. Ever since, everything has been perfectly fine and thank god, my daughter hardly remembers this time and she hasn't suffered from too much damage David, I know I probably wasn't the easiest client to deal with, but thank you and Sharmeela for your service and helping me and my daughter.

Zero Communication: Previous Attorney Quit Mid-Case Without Warning, Constant Delays, and…read moreDisrespectful Staff! ​Just because this firm sponsors the 49ers football team does not mean anything--how they conduct business is deeply unprofessional. They take zero accountability, ignore client concerns, and operate like a money grab with excessive 40% fees while showing complete disregard for your well-being. They do not give respect or courtesy to clients. I hired this firm over a year ago and they did NOTHING BUT WASTE TIME AND DELAY MY CASE!!! ​Critical issues during my time with them: ​Zero Notice When Staff Quit: I have had two attorneys solely because my first attorney quit. My previous attorney, Francesca Serrano, and case manager, Raquel Herrera, abruptly quit mid-case with zero communication. The firm never gave me the courtesy to let me know my attorney left, forcing me to start over with a newly hired team. I only found out after experiencing missed meetings and calling the office myself. ​Hostile, Rushed, & Uncaring New Team: After being assigned new attorney Abhi Gill, she didn't even send a welcome email to me and missed multiple meetings between her and I. On August 25th, I called to check if they received medical records so I could update them regarding a severe injury connected to my case. Abhi had an attitude and told me she can't just stop and update me every time because she is really busy. I have only talked to her three times and she is very impatient, and FAKE. When I told her I had just gotten out of the hospital, she didn't show an ounce of empathy or ask how I was doing. ​Unprofessional Gossip & False Claims: 8/7 I previously spoke with intake specialist Priscilla Sanchez to express frustration about case delays and starting over. According to Abhi, Priscilla engaged in "he-said, she-said" gossiping and made false claims. Abhi then claimed Priscilla told her I called my previous attorney a name, which is completely false. I would never disrespect anyone assisting me. When I asked them to review phone recordings for proof, Abhi said she would and I was very prepared to prove her wrong, as it has never occurred, Liar! ​Delays & Retaliation Instead of Accountability: In May at their Walnut Creek office, medical records were promised to be ordered, yet they sat on them until July--taking nearly three months just to request basic records. Case manager Mars Paysinger does not update his clients about the status of the case and when you call to check up on it he treats you like you are a burden. He handled status calls with hostility, and you can tell that he doesn't like the work that he does.When I updated him about my back pain and recent hospitalization, which is very important to my case, he claimed he had no knowledge of it. When I asked if he saw my chiropractor treatment, he became hostile and rushed me off the phone huffing and puffing, because he was caught not knowing basic case facts. I also communicated to him that he is very rude, and he chose to play the victim card because I advocated for myself by telling him about his attitude, respectfully. ​This gossip and misconduct led me to reach out to Mark Venardi and Director Christy. Receptionist Jocelyn explicitly promised Mark Venardi would call me back, but he never did. Instead, today on August 26th, after I requested a new attorney and case manager, they sent an email dropping my case after over a year of dragging it out. I received no apology for Priscilla's false accusations which I believe that she may have mixed me up with some other client., but my audio recordings prove you cannot trust the team here. They expect to still receive 40% of your settlement for them, prolonging and delaying your case is ridiculous! I have been a client here longer than Abhi worked here. As a client, they are not respectful and they don't care about anything but money. That's probably why the previous attorney & case manager quit. ​Mark Venardi ignoring his disrespectful staffs behavior is the exact reason he lost multiple high-value cases with me. Today, within minutes of receiving their email, I hired a new law firm that charges significantly lower fees, showed genuine care, and marked my cases (involving TWO commercial vehicles and medical malpractice) as high priority--ordering medical records the very same day. I have always respected all staff with greetings, and excellent mannerism, which I can't say, was reciprocated back to me! Save yourself the stress and run far away from this drama filled firm. Don't accuse a client of slander If you do not have the proof. I was looking forward to an apology from the false accusations of your unprofessional staff Priscilla, Mars and Abhi. Looking at recent reviews, I see that other clients are experiencing the same things that I have. They are losing clients, attorneys. So that should say a lot about what's going on Behind the scenes at this 3-Star law firm! Good riddance

OK, let's face it, no one ever looks forward to having to hire a lawyer for anything and usually…read morethe experience is right down there with waiting at the DMV all day, doing your taxes or even having your teeth pulled. But when you do need a family law attorney, you should call Dante and Karima and tell them Scary Hairy Gary sent you. The moment you walk in to meet them you will feel like you are with family and friends and that is because Dante and Karima are a literal mom and pop husband and wife dynamo team- they divide and conquer as Dante handles the legal stuff and Karima does the family estate planning for a one stop shopping experience. And if you are lucky like I was, you may even get to meet their beautiful children who happened to be in the office briefly that day. They both did a fantastic job for my father at a difficult time and I am so glad a family member of mine recommended them. Dante even offered to meet me at the office on a Saturday to go over our case as my work week was so full I could not break away. And this is apparently when he finds time to personally stock the candy jar as that is what he was doing when I arrived. So I would highly suggest getting there early in the week to get the pick of the litter. And I'm talking the good stuff, Snickers, Twix, Reese's etc. I might even occasionally just stop by for a quick candy fix even after my dad's case is over. Hopefully I don't wear out my welcome- but I love chocolate!

I found it refreshing and unique to be able to have a trusting and communicative relationship with my attorneys. Not only were they very responsive to my calls and questions, they were also flexible with their appointment times to make sure my needs and concerns were met. Dante assisted me personally with my legal matter. He was very thorough in explaining my different options and expeditiously prepared my paperwork as I was under a time crunch. I was so impressed with his professionalism and knowledge of the law that I referred their office to my parents for his partner, Karima, to prepare their Estate Planning Documents. She spent a considerable amount of time answering all of their questions to ensure they understood their estate plan. She even offered to travel to them in San Francisco. Karima was also very knowledgeable about estate planning, trusts, wills, power of attorneys, and offered my parents a very reasonable rate. Furthermore, she is a notary so we did not have to pay extra to have the documents notarized. I wholeheartedly recommend Burns & Miranda and would not hesitate to use their services again.
