I hired attorney Victor Balladares from Offit Kurman to represent me in a lawsuit where my neighbor…read morealleged that my dog bit her three years ago. My mom had her own lawyer through her homeowner's insurance, but because I wasn't covered under her policy, I needed my own separate representation. From the beginning, my experience with Victor was disappointing. He rarely kept me informed about the status of my case -- most of my updates came from my mom's lawyers, not from him. On multiple occasions, my mom's legal team would inform us of case developments, and when I asked Victor, he either had no idea they had occurred or told me he would check with my mom's lawyers or opposing counsel -- only to later confirm what I had already been told. This left me feeling like he was not on top of my case and often unaware of what was happening. I even brought up to him numerous times that I felt like he didn't care, that his lack of response made me feel uncomfortable, and that there were several times I texted him saying I felt uneasy and quote "left in the dark". Unfortunately, nothing changed. Communication was inconsistent at best. There was one occasion where he emailed me at 11 PM saying there was a deadline the next day and that I needed to sign papers immediately. I asked him several times to explain what I was signing, but he never answered. Because of the upcoming deadline, I felt nervous and pressured, so I signed without even understanding what I was signing. He still to this day never explained to me what I signed. The most troubling part of my experience came with billing. I kept asking for updates about the case and was often told "nothing has occurred yet," yet I was still billed significant amounts. I'm not sure what he even had to bill me for or how much work could possibly have been needed, because we were still in the very early stages of the case -- from the time I was served until discovery. The case never even progressed beyond that point. *** majority of the time I had him hired we were waiting for discovery from opposing counsel, and I was advised that there was no updates *** In the first week of June, my mom's lawyers informed me -- with signed official documents from opposing counsel -- that the plaintiff was dropping the lawsuit. When I called Victor to confirm, he had no idea what I was talking about and had to reach out to my mom's lawyers to catch up. The lawsuit officially ended on June 12, and once again, I heard the news from my mom's lawyers before I heard it from Victor. Then, at the end of June, I received a bill that was four times higher than any previous month -- for a period when the case lasted only a week and a half and when, to my knowledge, he did nothing to resolve it. To the best of my knowledge, the resolution was handled by my mom's lawyers and opposing counsel. I am able to come to the conclusion because I am the one who informed him of the case ending. I am still at a loss for words and confused on how he was able to bill me 4x the amount of any previous month for a week and a half in which that time I was the one who was giving him all the information he knew, and I was the one sending him documents from opposing counsel. For the past two and a half months, I have been trying to get a hold of Victor to explain these billable hours and what was done. I have text messages, emails, and call records showing my repeated attempts to get answers. He has either not responded or has set meetings and then failed to call. Now, the final straw: I just received another bill for July. The case has been over for 2 months. After my experience, I feel cheated, taken advantage of, and ignored. Based on what I have gone through, I cannot recommend Victor Balladares or Offit Kurman. I strongly urge anyone seeking legal representation to look elsewhere for an attorney who is engaged, communicative, and transparent -- both in handling a case and in billing practices.

My husband called a bunch of lawyers and set up meetings all over town. Everyone wanted to take my case, but we went with Brian and his team because, right from the beginning, I could tell they were professional, kind, and genuinely felt bad for what had happened to me--ruining my face and causing a traumatic brain injury due to the city's negligence. A couple of months ago, we started preparing for trial, and the level of attention to detail from Brian and his team was incredible. We were in constant communication, and I always felt comfortable asking any questions. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon and Annie that made me feel completely ready for trial. Thankfully, we didn't even have to go to court, as the city offered a settlement. I fully trusted Brian's advice to settle, and I'm so glad I did. It's rare to find people who are so hardworking, compassionate, and truly eager to fight for you. Every single person on that team is incredible--I would be ready to go to trial with any of them.

From day one, Brian Breiter and Jeff Twomey saw me as more than a case. They understood how the city's failure to maintain its trees had upended my life, and they treated me with both compassion and determination. Their investigation was meticulous. They brought in arborists, analyzing weather data, and uncovering damning maintenance records. Despite the city offering nothing in mediation and insisting they'd win at trial, Brian and Jeff never backed down. They kept me informed every step of the way and made sure the full impact of my injuries--including cognitive challenges affecting my work and family--was accounted for. The unanimous jury verdict far exceeded my expectations and will help secure my future recovery as well as my family's future. Just as importantly, I believe their work will drive change in how the city maintains its parks. If you've suffered an injury that never should have happened, you want Breiter Law in your corner. They know how to take on giants and win.

More Than a Law Firm--A Beacon of Hope When I thought every…read morelegal door had closed, I made one last phone call to Attorney Samuel Brown--someone I had spoken with nearly a year earlier. To my surprise, he remembered both me and my young son. The very next morning, I received an email saying that he and Nigel Burns had decided to take on my case. At one of the lowest points in my life, that message restored hope. Nigel Burns is the driving force behind this remarkable team. His leadership has created a law firm where excellence, integrity, professionalism, compassion, and genuine care are more than values--they are evident in every interaction. The culture he has built is truly inspiring. Samuel Brown stepped in immediately. His professionalism, legal brilliance, calm confidence, and unwavering dedication changed the trajectory of my case. He was exceptionally prepared, strategic, and compassionate. To this day, I remain in awe of the outcome and forever grateful for everything he did for my family. A very special thank you to Denise Flores, whose kindness and dedication went far beyond anything I could have imagined. Denise worked tirelessly--often into the wee hours of the night--preparing my paperwork, answering every question with patience, and making sure nothing was overlooked. She made me feel heard, supported, and cared for during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. What touched me most was not only this team's extraordinary legal skill, but also their humanity. They treated my son and me with dignity, respect, and genuine compassion. They stood beside us when we felt alone and gave us the confidence to keep moving forward. The Law Offices of Nigel Burns didn't just represent my family--they became our beacon of hope. If you are looking for a law firm that combines exceptional legal excellence, outstanding professionalism, unwavering integrity, and heartfelt compassion, I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Nigel Burns, Samuel Brown, Denise Flores, and the entire team. My family will never forget your kindness, dedication, and amazing support. Five stars simply are not enough.

We paid 10 grand for her so called 'services'. Not sure if was her incompetency or the pretty much railroading of the prosecution and the buddy buddy thing the judge sheriff's dept and jurors had. Either way, there were so many holes in the case that she could've used and blown open in her favor but chose not to. She just plain didn't do any of the research, no calls were made to any of the contacts my father asked her to call and she didn't build a case, she knew nothing about anything and she still made her money. Don't use her for criminal defense, she obviously does not have the knowledge or the aggressive chops for it. She should take it off her website too, as it's false advertising. She is the absolute worst lawyer I've come across in my time on this earth. She is a prime example of why people don't trust lawyers.
