This review reflects my personal opinion and recollection of my experience working with this…read moreattorney. It is intended to share my honest perspective, as is my right under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA). Readers should conduct their own research, form their own opinions, and proceed accordingly when choosing legal representation. My overall experience with this attorney did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, I did not achieve the objectives I had hoped for, and my situation worsened during the course of representation. My case took a significant amount of time to get filed, and communication with the attorney was challenging. During our three in-person meetings, no clear goals or deadlines were established. As a result, my family and I faced serious consequences, including the risk of foreclosure on our home, the repossession of my truck, and significant emotional distress. An emergency bankruptcy was filed only after my truck was repossessed, which left me unable to earn income. This, in turn, affected my ability to make Chapter 13 payments, leading to the dismissal of my case despite my efforts to secure employment. I was not notified when my case was closed and only learned about it through a letter from the court and a different attorney who informed me that my mother's home was at risk of being sold by the bank. I found the lack of communication and clarity regarding my case deeply frustrating. In my opinion, the attorney abandoned my case and has not responded to my attempts to seek clarification or answers about the court correspondence I have received. While I acknowledge that my financial difficulties are ultimately my responsibility, I sought this attorney's help in good faith to navigate my circumstances. I had hoped for more proactive communication and exploration of alternative options, such as filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which might have better addressed my situation. My mother also had a case with this attorney, which was similarly discontinued. However, in her case, the attorney made an effort to notify her and connect her with a different attorney. It remains unclear to us why her case was not pursued further. I want to emphasize that my experience with the attorney's paralegals was excellent. Carmen, in particular, went above and beyond to assist me and was consistently available to address my concerns. I greatly appreciate her efforts and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not work with this attorney again. However, I encourage others to conduct their own research and make their own decisions when selecting legal representation. Edit: To retaliate is to return a harmful action with another harmful one, often in an attempt to get revenge or "even the score". Some examples include throwing a rock after being hit with one, a manager firing an employee for filing a complaint, or a country imposing tariffs after another country imposes them. Writing a fair and honest account of my experience with any business is a Constitutionally protected right. The implication that my review is retaliation in and of itself suggests that harm was somehow done to me first, so what exactly is being said here? It is categorically false and I can assure that my fair and honest review was posted simply to share my experiences with this attorney as many other people have done. It's not irregular or retaliatory for customers to review their experiences. It's part of a healthy open market system that promotes transparency and helps others make informed decisions. The personal attacks posted in response to my review are shocking and unacceptable. Revealing private information about my case is highly concerning because it violates the duty of confidentiality. This duty is protected by strict professional rules. The narrative presented in the comments is missing context and for the most part untrue.

He also got back to me fast when I had a question. Jacob drew up a detailed demand letter and allowed me to review/approve his drafts before sending to my property manager! Because of his professional and beautifully written letter, my property manager let me out of my lease with ease! I'm also thankful Jacob allowed me time make a payment without having to start the process over again. I was worried I'd have to explain my situation again later but that didn't happen.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others about my experience with Nader Nader…read more I hired him for what should have been a simple eviction case -- my tenant hadn't paid rent in over a year and had received proper notice back in 2023. Instead of resolving it efficiently, Nader Nader repeatedly delayed the process, missed deadlines, and failed to take decisive action. He forgot to submit important documents, causing the court to deny filings. He didn't object when the tenant kept asking for more time, and never brought in witnesses to expose the tenant's lies. Even the tenant's own attorney admitted in court that all the delays were caused by Nader. On top of that, he marked the wrong box on a key form, limiting my ability to sue the tenant to $35,000, even though I'm owed over $100,000 in damages. The situation became so bad that I had to hire a new attorney and pay again, just to get this simple hearing resolved -- something Nader Nader failed to do after many months of inaction. When I asked him to take responsibility and settle the damages he caused, he refused. In my opinion, this attorney was negligent, unprofessional, and completely ineffective. If you want a lawyer who will actually fight for you and protect your rights, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere.

CA laws are very pro-tenant and anti-landlord - you don't need an attorney that has that mindset too.

Areg and his team are the best! My wife and I had issues with a tenant who didn't want to move out,…read moreand before meeting Areg we went with a "big-name" eviction attorney. It was a disaster! Had to wait every time for 1-2 hours on hold to get an answer. And every time, we got different answers to the same question... (timeline for eviction, etc). Areg was a different story. Always clear, always responsive and accessible (even when he was on vacation!), had a good game plan and fought for us. Would recommend without any reservation. Proof is in the pudding: Areg's advice helped us win a $6,500 judgment in small claims court.
