After consulting with several different employment attorneys, I chose David because he was by far the most attentive, patient, and emotionally intelligent of the bunch. Not only did David help me navigate the reporting process factually, he also fiercely advocated for my rights, helping me achieve an outcome that exceeded my expectations. Throughout the entire process, he was exceptionally patient, always taking the time to address and validate my concerns. If anyone ever needs an employment lawyer, David is the first person I will recommend.

I was looking for an IP attorney to help me get a trademark. I found Trevor on Yelp and he had…read moregreat reviews. When I reached out to him, he was very responsive. He was able to explain to me the following: 1) he would research the USPTO and let me know if there were any other trademarks under the name; 2) the costs and fees that would be involved; 3) what he does and doesn't do (for example he doesn't do lawsuits, cease & desist because he is not that type of lawyer); 4) the process and timeline of filing a trademark; and 5) what I will need to do to demonstrate "Use in Commerce". After researching different Trademark attorneys, I am happy I chose Trevor to do this for me. So far, I am very pleased with him. He is knowledgeable, accessible, and thorough. Also, I appreciate how he stays in communication with me and has kept me abreast of every step occurring so far with the application filing process.

A couple of weeks after my house was on the market, I was happy to receive an offer from a couple…read more As per standard practice, 3% of the agreed price was wired by the buyers to the title company handling the escrow. The buyers then proceeded to do their due diligence with various inspections, etc. Once the buyers were totally satisfied, they then removed all contingencies. I thought the rest of the process would be straightforward as we counted down towards the mutually agreed close-of-escrow date. But it turned out that the buyers' lending bank, which had earlier preapproved the buyers, decided at the last minute to back out, so the escrow fell through. I then had to go through the process of putting my house on the market again. Two months after that failed escrow, I received a letter from an attorney representing the unsuccessful buyers who argued that these buyers should get all their initial Ernest Money Deposit (EMD) back (this EMD was still being held by the title company). It was then that I contacted Cary Kletter's office to see if they would represent me in dealing with the buyers' attorney. Upon learning the key facts of this aborted escrow, Cary believed that I had a good case and agreed to represent me. So Cary wrote a very firm letter to the buyers' attorney. By first reminding the buyers the salient facts of this case, and why the escrow failed, Cary easily dismissed any basis the buyers might have for laying claim to the EMD. Nonetheless, Cary offered the buyers a small percentage of the EMD to settle the matter; the alternative being to go to mediation. Cary made it very clear to the buyers that should they lose in mediation, they would be responsible for all associated costs, including attorney fees. Thus with this one well-articulated and forceful letter, Cary was able to gain the upper hand in the negotiation that followed. This negotiation in fact went on for two more rounds. With each round, the buyers' attorney showed that they were willing to take a smaller and smaller percentage of the EMD. With the buyers evidently in retreat, Cary then issued a very strong 'take-it-or-go-mediation' final offer. The buyers' had little choice but to accede. Even though I did not get all the EMD and was quite sure that I would win in mediation, I was very happy with the final settlement. I was most relieved that we managed to avoid all the time and hassle of the mediation process. So I have to say Cary really knows his stuff when it comes to such negotiations! I was very impressed by Cary's negotiating style and tactics, and I am most grateful that he represented me.

They are horrible to deal with. I used them to create a trust. Part of the reason I selected them…read moreinitially was because they said it would be easy to make changes later if we had any life changes and needed to adjust. A year later I had another child and wanted to get them added to the trust, so I reached back out to them and they kept saying "they would look into it" for 6 months, before finally saying they are too busy to help with these changes. Seriously it took them 6 months to say they won't help with something they originally created. Don't waste your time or money with these attorneys. They obviously do not care about retaining their customers and they are slow to get back to you. 1000% would recommend going anywhere else

I recently needed a real estate attorney for a non-transactional matter. I contacted several…read moreattorneys from SJ to SF, including the East Bay, and found that their responses generally fell into the following categories: 1) Ghosted / never returned my calls. 2) Some replied with a menu of fees with one asking for a $600 consultation fee (a neutral statement, not a judgment on how anyone runs their business). 3) Several days to respond to each message. 4) One launched into a monologue about how he could take my case all the way to the Supreme Court. Eric was the only attorney who responded the same day. He even took the time to decipher my nearly inaudible voicemail, which had been garbled by poor cell reception. He was direct and transparent from the start and spent more than 30 minutes speaking with me before deciding to take on my case. He is exceptionally intelligent, efficient, and highly knowledgeable about real estate law. The level of time and care he devoted to my case made me feel like I was his only client. In addition, he is a skilled litigator, making him a one-stop resource for any legal issues that may arise. He will always be the first person I think of if I or my friends ever need legal advice. If you need someone who is a master of his craft and doesn't play games, Eric is the one.
