With 2 dui's literally back to back. My fiance was in a situation. I already know.... how can you…read moreget two back to back. Oooh and did I forget to mention he had one from like 7 years ago that we thought was a dry and reckless but turned out to be a wet and reckless. We had no other choice but to deal with it. I advised my fiance he would need to hire an attorney. He automatically wanted to go with the attorney with the most reviews. But I advised him he should be cautious. I called the attorney he wanted to go with and didn't get a good feeling. I called 2 other law firms and again didnt get a good feeling. I finally called Christopher and felt confident so we setup a meeting and my feeling of confidence increased. He didn't make any promises of what the outcome would be but he did leave us feeling like we made a great choice. He kept us informed and anytime we had any questions I contacted him and he got back to me quickly. I always texted him and called when needed. I know attorneys are busy in and out of court and in meetings so I didn't want to take up his time from working on cases. Christopher advised my fiance to get on the scram cam as a pre plea. This would help him in court if need be. We got the run around from the scram place. They said he needed to be sentenced first. So I contacted Christopher and he gave me a womens name. I called the scram place back and got ahold of the women Christoper referred us to. She handled everything. He always kept us informed if he was running late due to being in another court room. He negotiated and did everything he could and got my fiance the best outcome. He was facing jail time due to his prior. He was able to get one case down to a wet and wreckless, 5 days community service with half time and the other case 10 days community service, with 3 months dui class. Regular court fees. All in all I'm 100% positive we got the best outcome. He knows his stuff and will fight to get the best outcome. He will go over the D.A to speak to the supervising D.A if need be. If you are looking for an attorney who can get you the best outcome Christoper is the best. Hopefully we never need his services again. But it's good to know we know someone we trust. He is worth more than what we paid for. So call him today and thank me later

I reached out to Christopher Varnell when I needed help and he really came through. He personally…read morereturned my call right away and was professional throughout the whole process. He was very responsive (texting me back almost always instantly). To find a good lawyer who replies in a timely manner is hard enough, but to find one who TEXTS you back for every question? AMAZING! I was nervous about the process and pretty in the dark before reaching out to Christopher but he was more than willing to answer questions and walk me through everything step by step. He didn't make any guarantees on outcome, but was very knowledgeable and I left his office confident. Also smiling in the end with the outcome. He is very direct and to the point, so if you're looking for a lawyer with just buzzwords, fluff, and all-talk, he's not your guy. He's very familiar with Contra Costa Country courts and has good connections which is always a plus! If I run into anything again or I have friends who need representation , I will definitely recommend Christopher Varnell.

I was referred to Dan Quane by a friend who, like me, appreciates quality of work, efficiency, and…read moreprofessionalism. Both Dan and Darcy met all of my expectations with their organized approach and attention to detail! I worked with Dan to update my trust, will, power of attorney and health directive. I had a general outline in mind which, through great listening skills, he turned into legal documents that will stand the test of time. I had also pondered tax implications surrounding my decisions, and to my pleasant surprise, Dan was also versed in this (a masters in Taxation). He is a wealth of information and this process was seamless and not as costly as I'd anticipated (less than my original trust created 25 years ago--and Dan re-wrote everything from scratch not just updated what I already had). I would highly recommend Dan Quane for your trust needs.

I approached Michael with a daunting task of creating a settlement after more than ten years of separation.

I give Michael all the credit for making this happen and I, too, would refer him to anyone wanting similar results.

I had nearly gone with a different firm in my prior consultations with different lawyers and I continue to believe that my final choice with Mr. Bonjour was the best. Without releasing any details, Mr. Bonjour was able to work out a very favorable deal with the court and despite my making a few mistakes along the way, continues to work with me to achieve the end goal. There are no miracles. It is all hard work and persistent dedication towards the ultimate goal, whatever that may be. Mr. Bonjour has been the closest thing to a miracle as anyone can be.

I had an initial consultation with Mirador Law and intended to retain the firm. After completing…read morethe intake form and corresponding with Emily, we were in the process of executing the Retainer Agreement and submitting payment. When I requested a few reasonable changes to the Agreement, communication suddenly stopped. Repeated phone calls and emails were ignored. This lack of responsiveness was unprofessional and concerning, especially at the outset of a potential attorney-client relationship. It ultimately raised serious doubts about how the firm communicates with its clients. Based on this experience, I do not recommend this firm.

I cannot fully put into words what it was like to experience the physical and emotional devastation…read moreof a life-changing accident. In an instant, everything shifted. I was left not only trying to heal from serious injuries, but also facing a legal system I knew absolutely nothing about. The uncertainty was overwhelming. I feared I wouldn't be treated fairly or receive what I was entitled to as a victim simply because I didn't understand the process. Finding Azadeh Malek Ahmadi changed everything for me. From our very first interactions, she became the steady, trustworthy presence I desperately needed. She took the time to walk me through what to expect, explained each step clearly, and made sure I was prepared without ever making me feel uninformed or vulnerable. At no point did I feel taken advantage of or exposed because of what I didn't know. Instead, I felt confident and reassured that my best interests were being protected. After an accident that altered my life in a matter of seconds, I had very little emotional bandwidth left. Knowing she was handling the legal complexities with skill and integrity allowed me to focus on healing. She advocated for me in a way that was thoughtful, strategic, and aligned with my specific needs and goals. Now that I'm on the other side of the process, I can say without hesitation that I had representation I trusted completely--and still do. Given all the ways this could have gone, I am incredibly grateful that I was guided through it with care and strength, achieving the best outcome possible under my circumstances.

I can honestly say that Robert Cheasty has singlehandedly been the most helpful person that I have spoken to in the past few months, and believe me when I say I have reached out to countless attorneys. Not only did Robert Cheasty stay on the phone with me for over half an hour, he was willing to give me advice despite not being able to take my case. Robert referred several others who might have been able to help with my case, and was later available for some more questions that I had. Robert Cheasty has shown more compassion and understanding than many others in his field, especially since he did not simply 'blow me off' because he could not take my claim, like many others have. Much gratitude.

Eric Nyberg talked with me about my case on the phone for free, but mine was a fairly complicated case and I requested to come in to speak with him in person. He was willing to meet with me for a fee, which would be applied towards the fee if I went with them. Their fee was the same as the 3 other attorneys and a little higher than the 4th one. I was very impressed with the professionalism they showed in working with me from the very first phone call. As I went through the paperwork their firm was very helpful and responsive. I am sure they are busy because of the current economic situation and many of us need to file bankruptcy, but they were always responsive!! I was in a situation where I wanted expedited filing, they were reassuring that they would do all they can to help resolve the situation first so we don't have to cut in line of other clients that are waiting for the filing. It did get resolved and we were able to wait our turn. My case is now in the system and waiting to be finalized. I do occasionally wonder if they would have been able to help another friend of mine who went to talk to half a dozen of attorneys who were not able to help, and found one who knew the bankruptcy law better than others and had her case filed. In any case, I have been extremely happy with this firm and its service. 09/09/2010 update They continued to be professional and responsive. As I said, my case was complicated and quite a bit of follow up was required. They did respond a little bit slower, but not longer than 2 days. I would definitely recommend them for their professionalism and follow through.
