I've been on yelp for years and never felt the need to leave a review, good or bad until now. This condescending POS asked me how severe the damage was to my car. I started the sentence "well it was quoted..." and he interrupts "I'm asking you how much the damage was to your car, if you don't know SAY YOU DON'T KNOW." I told him to go _____ himself and he responded "I'm trying to help you, normally when someone asks how much damage there was you'd answer with a cost of damage". I told him that's what I was doing before he interrupted and again told him to go _____ himself and hung up lol. Please save yourself the time and go to a different attorney that isn't too full of himself to get through 2 minutes of a consultation (not an exaggeration). Please do not be fooled by the fake reviews. read more

Jeff took on my case involving a dispute with a car dealership that was attempting to charge me an excessive amount of service work for a car that had been recalled by the manufacturer shortly after the service work commenced. He accepted my legal insurance plan through Metlife. Jeff returned every one of my calls or texts within minutes. My claim exceeded the limit for a small claims court and Jeff counseled me very well and designed an alternative approach through a demand letter that prevented me from incurring large amounts of fees in court. I ultimately received a very favorable settlement from the manufacturer and paid zero to the distributor. His advice was perfect. read more

Kind, compassionate, honest and to the point. He took the time to understand my situation and drafted a demand letter very quickly. He makes time for people and makes sure they're heard. He helps fight for what's fair! I used my company's legal plan, and he accepted it no problem. He didn't treat me any differently because I used a legal plan - many other law office wouldn't help or was suddenly not available once they heard it was via a legal plan. I was initially apprehensive when I saw some of the reviews but I honestly am not sure how others got negative impressions. Jeff is very sharp and smart, so may ask many clarifying questions about the situation - but it's all to help your case and understand you. If you're looking for a lawyer, Jeff is the right one! read more

Jeff is a super helpful , very efficient and serious lawyer. We were looking for an attorney to write a demand letter to a company for us Mr. Jeffery Tsu was the only one who responded among the three to whom we sent email requests. Jeffrey quickly arranged a phone call with us. He had empathy and a sincere concern for the problem we encountered. Soon after the first phone meeting, Jeffrey Tsu did some research about the company and gave us some great advice and suggestions. The demand letter was quickly written and sent out. We then got a positive response from the company. We are very happy about the outcome. We would highly recommend anyone seeking an attorney in the Bay Area to go to Jeff Tsu. read more

Extremely arrogant and condescending. Pls run the other way if you care your mental health. I found Jeff through my employer's legal plan, and wanted to explore whether I had a legit small claims court case. Jeff asked me to email him the transcripts. I did that, but unfortunately he didn't review them. Which is okay, it was a non urgent issue. Then we got on a phone call to discuss the documents: and it was incredibly tough to explain anything to him. He was short, would not let me complete any sentence, and it was a horrible experience. Our call lasted 22 minutes, and it was full of him saying demeaning things. It would've taken far lesser time (and no stress) to do it over email. Jeff also didn't come across as technically savvy, and wasn't able to pull email attachments. read more

Jeff is a very serious lawyer. He helped me a lot. Maybe when you first get to know him, he's a little strict and his language is a little sharp. But that was his style. You know how good he is when he fights your case with that style. He helped me a lot. Help me apply for insurance assistance. He did a lot of extra work to help me. read more

Extremely rude, I can not imaging such rude attitude is coming from a well educated attorney. +1 on all the comments mentioning "No Case Number, No Talk". It is true! He insisted to get a case number before he answered if he speaks a Mandarin. After I gave him the case number, he shows 0 interest to listen to my case, or even bother to let me finish my talking. Despite his condescending attitude, I still tried to explain the issues that I am facing. He stopped me while I was talking, and asked me to email him about all the details. I sent him all the details, no reply. He finally replied to my third email, and asked me to follow up with a phone call. In the phone call, he asked me to FILE the case by myself using the form which can be found online by anyone. What a joke. I haven't met or talked to anyone else with such rude and unprofessional manner. read more

The experience I had seeking Jeffrey's help led me to conclude he didn't deserve the bad reviews left here, so I have to leave my comments. Although Jeffrey concluded at the beginning of our conversation that the legal approach I was seeking was not the right course to take, he took the time to listen to the details of my problem, to explain the legal perspective and what other options I might take. He was very helpful and kind to listen. read more

I do not recommend him at all, I called him for a consultation and he was absolutely condescending, rude and just nasty attitude. As I was explaining the reason for my call. He just asked what's your legal insurance case number. no case number, no talking even I ask do you practice this area such simple question Never met such rude guy read more

Very rude and short. Seems like he has an issue with even talking to someone about their case. I recommend a new field of work for Jeffrey where he won't need to deal with our situations as clients since he is so morally superior. read more

Not only is this attorney extremely rude, he also gave me incorrect advice, as confirmed by 3 other lawyers I contacted! He interrupted me with some condescending remarks before I could even finish my question. Then he complained that I was all over the place. I asked this same question to 3 other attorneys and no one had any problems understanding me. They all provided a similar answer for me immediately, which is different from the answer Tsu gave. I would give 0 stars if I could. Do not go to him, just about anyone else would be better. read more

Very helpful, gave me advice for my traffic matters, high likely recommend him as an attorney, strong communicator, focused on helping client solve their legal issue. Would highly recommend anyone seeking an attorney in San Mateo to go to Jeff Tsu. He is able to get things done quickly and helped guiding me to drive resolution for my case. read more

Extremely rude and condescending. He also didn't care about my case at all. I've never encountered anyone that unprofessional before, not to mention an attorney. read more

My wife's brother passed away and is now the Successor Trustee of his estate. Jeff took her case and is doing very well with a very complex and complicated probate situation. He is always direct and strait forward, and well meaning. I can see how some others may misinterpret his statements. Anyway he is very methodical and transparent. I have to remember to repeat what I am supposed to do so that he knows I am not wasting his time. This is a long process, so follow through is important and we let him know our progress so that the project is moving along without hangups. He is the real deal, just be patient, take good notes, and let him do his thing which is very thorough and by the book. read more

Jeff helped me with a small claims court case. He went above/beyond to provide advice and sent me several relevant legal documents that helped in my preparation. We were ultimately successful in securing a judgement against the defendant, and he was a big part of it! read more

Outstanding work, always call you back same day, takes an interest in meeting your needs. Expectations were met in short order

Very Short, Sounds Like He Doesn't Even Want To Help When Asking Questions, Moving On To A New Lawyer That Wants To Help. (Check His Yelp Reviews Also. read more

Jeff Tsu have been my family lawyer and of my late parents for over 30 years. He has helped us in both personal injuries claims and living trusts. During my late mother's final days where we had an issue with one of the siblings, he came to her house and helped re draft her will. I highly recommend him for your legal needs. read more

Jeffrey Tsu is effective as an attorney. I was recommended to him by a business colleague for representation after an automobile accident. He works independently so his office is not the pristine place you see in the larger firms. I don't care what the office looks like, but about the ability to be effective at what he does. For both my colleague and I, he has delivered great results in our settlement. He is someone I would use again if needed. No offense to Mr. Tsu, but I hope to never have to use his services again. :) read more

Seemed very impatient on the phone when we recently called his office. Customer service/people skills seriously lacking here.

Very rude and condescending attorney. I called him about my car incident with facts I've collected, while I was describing the case, Jeff had a very difficult time to even understand what I'm trying to tell him and repeatedly got the facts I told him wrong that I even doubt his cognitive ability. In addition he kept questioning things I was describing to him in a very rude way as if I was a terrible person that can not be trusted for anything I say and I would have no chance to win. He also kept interrupting my conversation and saying if he was the judge he would have no sympathy for me, before he even understands the case correctly. Definitely look for another attorney and don't call him. Disrespectful, dumb and condescending person. read more

Very rude, not respectful, how could say "I am not happy talk to you" to a potential customer, when the customer just ask some basic questions? read more

Jeff Tsu is an all star attorney and it makes me happy to give him my full endorsement here. As a millenial who is unfamiliar with the judicial system, I couldn't have had someone who made me feel more comfortable with the stresses of being in a court room. He was able to reduce my incident to an infraction, lower the fine and cut me a pretty sweet deal for his time. I would trust Jeff with any other legal issues again and I'd do so without thinking about it. read more

I am a Birmingham AL resident, In early 2018 I needed legal assistance for my rental property in San Mateo, CA. Comparing with his other cases, mine is a very simple and small one, but Mr. Jeff Tsu still handled my case remotely and gave me clear step-by-step instructions throughout the processing. I never met him face-to-face, we communicated via emails and phone conversations. He responded my concern and questions with precise, plain explanation patiently to let me understand the law. I would recommend his professional service without any hesitation. read more

Jeff Tsu handled two of my cases in the past five years I was totally satisfied in both cases. He was very helpful and through in preparing my cases. For the auto accident case I got very favorable result. The other case involved my business which he help to settle out of court. He is highly recommended. read more
