How unfortunate for me I did listen to Penner's counsel and I signed a stipulation which became an…read morecourt order. I learned it is illegal to negotiate a stipulation without the client taking part. After Penner I was unrepresented a few months before I had a new attorney. Penner's stipulation moved non trust assets into the trust which gave a bias trustee power over them. Because both parties and judge signed the stipulation it became set in stone - could not be modified. The one year statute of limitations on malpractice protects bad attorneys. A WARNING to others DO NOT SIGN anything your attorney asks you to sign - especially if they press you, scare you or hurry you. You have a lot of time to have one or two attorneys read it - there is no rush. So the lesson is to hire a second attorney to watch the first attorney to make sure they don't sabotage your case.

I appreciated being able to speak to him directly and discuss the issue. He went over how he could represent me and I appreciated how direct yet empathetic he was with how the situation transpired.

I would recommend Mr. Makler to others who need representation in traffic related stops with law enforcement. My case was dismissed and I appreciate all the work that was done. I thought his rates were reasonable and the case management system they use made it easy to keep track of everything. Thank you!

I discovered too late Morales is not trustworthy and is a poor communicator of vital info. He is greedy and without compassion. He would not answer my questions nor give sound advice. His smooth and calm demeanor may work in the courtroom but don't be swayed. A friend warned me to stay away from an attorney who advertises on TV. A good lawyer, especially one who has been in business as long as he has, shouldn't need to advertise. AND WATCH OUT: he might quit on you in the middle of your case. I will be filling a complaint with the California Bar Association. STAY AWAY!
