I did not end up hiring Mr. Simkin, but his attitude toward me and my problem was exemplary. He was willing to extend to me his time to discuss the matter over the phone and he was open and honest about how we could proceed if that is what I wanted. As it turned out, it did not make financial sense, something I learned from talking with him. I would have no qualms about hiring such a clearly honest and knowledgable professional if it did. read more

Michael Simkin is a fantastic attorney and a wonderful human! He settled a case for me that got me 6x what I was originally offered. The landlord that I had broke every law and was a nightmare to deal with. Michael and his amazing team (Hi Esther!) always kept their cool and were amazingly patient when my former landlord's attorney would try the patience of any saint. Michael came highly recommended to me and I cannot more strongly endorse both him as an attorney and as a person. Do yourself a favor and hire Michael. You won't be disappointed! read more

I need quick, no nonsense legal advise and that's exactly why Michael Simkin is my go-to attorney for all real estate questions.

We hired Michael to handle what we thought would be a routine closing on the home we were purchasing. When the seller developed some rather bizarre notions about our agreement, and the transaction turned out to be anything but routine, we were very fortunate to have Michael on our side. Michael remained a reassuring voice at a time when we were at significant legal peril. His encyclopedic knowledge of real estate law, and ability to strategize and find creative solutions, resulted in our ultimately prevailing in the matter and saving a great deal of money. read more

Called multiple times to try to schedule a consultation. Provided info on my case to receptionist each time but never got calls returned.

Michael and his staff were wonderful to work with on my eviction of my ex boyfriend from my home. I was in a state of panic and from the very first email and phone call to our final resolution they were professional, efficient, super responsive and consultative. They provided great guidance and discussed all my options with clarity and thoughtfulness. So very much appreciative that I found my way to Michael after talking to many attorneys who didn't think I had a case given the COVID moratorium on evictions. Thank you!!! read more

I had an issue with a residential real estate contract. From my research and asking around, there are very few attorneys in LA that have experience with residential real estate disputes (contracts, mediation, arbitration, and lis pendens). In trying to resolve the matter with the help on Google, there was not enough information online on how to proceed with mediation, so an attorney's experience was necessary. I was referred to Mr. Simkin and he quickly put the matter in perspective. Turned out the buyer was utilizing the legal system with no practical case. After some advice and guidance, the other party naturally withdrew their claim. Mr. Simkin helped quickly and efficiently put an end to the emotionally draining process thus far. read more

I requested a free consultation with Michael and I was stunned to learn how genuinely helpful and resourceful he was. He went above and beyond to help resolve my issue. I Highly recommend him. read more

Michael Simkin answered my desperate call, at 11am ON THE DAY before Thanksgiving.  I am a 19 year, highly experienced real estate agent who rarely needs help in sales transactions.  Yet, I found myself in dire need of legal help on my own personal purchase.  Four other attorneys turned me away due to the imminent holiday or due to heavy caseloads.  I found Mr. Simkin via a Google search.  I read his reviews and I called him on a whim.  After speaking for an hour, and after he made me laugh several times, I knew he was the attorney for me.  I retained him immediately.  For the remainder of the day he set everything aside to attend to my urgent case.  My legal matter was settled in four weeks.  Without having to attend an expensive mediation, and without arbitrating or litigating.  He expertly knew how to get the job done in a way that gave me the best outcome, in the least amount of time, and in the most cost effective manner.  Along the way, he gave me lessons in real estate law.  He took opportunities to educate me, to provide me with options, and then to allow me to make the decision.  What I appreciated most, was Mr. Simkin's ability to help me stay out of my own way.  Being victimized (and I was), when I am a pretty tough person and real estate professional, was a hard position to be in.  The situation had me emotional, angry, and wanting retribution.  Instead of fanning the flames, he had a kind and respectful way of calming me down, and of helping me see the big picture.  He usually had me laughing by the end of our calls.  Mr. Simkin called me at 9:30pm on his birthday.  What kind of business professionals care enough to do that these days?  He does.  On a final note, he made me a promise the first time we spoke.  And, he honored it 100%.  I recommend Mr. Simkin with the highest regard.  His legal acumen is top notch, and his manner is 10X better.  Bottom line, he's amazing. read more

I can't praise Michael's services enough. I had a deposit on a condo I was purchasing. When I terminated the purchase agreement the seller, etco Properties, tried to retain the deposit even though the agreement required etco to return it. Michael got on it right away and wrote a very strong response with citations and showing where what the seller was doing was illegal. The seller agreed to return my deposit within 3 hours. read more

I called Mr. Simkin to get some advice on how to handle potential dispute. He listened carefully, reiterated my situation to be sure we were on the same page, and then gave me advice from both a practical standpoint and a legal standpoint. From a legal standpoint, he explained how my dispute could have a legal basis and be actionable. But from a practical standpoint, he offered sound advice based on his understanding of my situation, my concerns, and the outcome I desired. This was great, because the practical advice helped me step back from my situation and figure out a way to move forward without needing a lawyer at all! Which really makes me think that Mr. Simkin's motivation is to simply help people who come to him with problems -- whether they end up hiring him or not. Thanks, Mr. Simkin. read more

Both my husband and I are in our seventies. When we had trouble with a window company we ask our daughter to reach out and help. She sent us to Mr. Simkin's law firm. At first we were scared and worried. But, we were put at ease immediately after our initial contact with Mr. Simkin and Ms. Jun. Shortly after our contact, they start taking all necessary steps to help us to get out the mess we were in. In two weeks they already settle the case with the best outcome there is.

I did a review long ago and updating how poorly Michael Simkin represented me in a forced eviction from my then 31 years living in Studio City near Vineland and Ventura in a duplex. He charged me between $1000 and $2000 for the two short court appearances in the Van Nuys court when I later learned should have been $250. I was forced into taking $10,000 (city legal minimum fee?) to move when under siege by the landlord with constant service attempts to vacate. Did not look at other local options and moved to Palm Springs, a brother's suggestion, the worse 13 years of my life. Simkin's lawyer friend who took over the case even stole my settlement money when I signed the final check. The duplex is now worth a million and best part of the city. In short, it appears there are no honest lawyers, or is that an oxymoran? When I asked for a short letter referral about a condo issue in Palm Springs his paragraph letter, done under duress, was of little help. read more
