He mentioned that he wanted to clear up any misunderstanding of having to make an appointment just to pick up paperwork. He also mentioned that he wanted to write a edit the review but like I told him, I will check in again and write a separate review. So when I explained to him that I was there on the previous Friday to pick up the paperwork, and he had mentioned that he was working remotely. I also told him that I had sent him a text message stating that I was there in the waiting room. I waited for about 15 minutes or so. He however told me that he wasn't a 14 year old to be texting. When I told him about him stating that he was working remotely, which the attorney office next to him could clearly hear him speaking. Anyways, he never apologized for lying that he was working remotely. He did say that I should have knocked on the closed door. Mind you, I spoke to him on the phone. Grr. Well luckily, I hope to never have to deal with again. I finally picked up what I needed. Overall value, NOT WORTH IT!

We hired Jim Beirne to do our trust/will for a flat rate that he had advertised in the newspaper…read more What a waste of money. He basically handed us a stack of confusing paperwork to fill out at home. He also told us to talk to our physicians and then write our own healthcare directives. We were foolish to pay him the retainer without doing more research about what exactly his fee included. His fees are less than most, but you get what you pay for. To anyone thinking about using him for these types of services, I would advise you to either spend more money and go to a better attorney or spend less money and do it on your own online. Edited to respond to his response: I am so disappointed to read Mr Beirne's response. He is flat out lying. Dozens of emails and numerous phone calls? I wish I could attach our email chain to this review. We had our initial consultation meeting, and then he sent us two emails--one thanking us for payment and the other telling us to fill out the lengthy stack of paperwork so that he could begin the process. He had our successor trustee information from our first meeting. That was not the confusing part of the paperwork. We never completed the paperwork and he never reached out to see if he could be of assistance. (After all, we were foolish and had already paid him in full.) This all took place in August 2013. We had no further contact about the estate planning. Fast forward to this summer. I began thinking about the money that we had wasted, and it was clear to us that we were not going to complete the estate planning process with him. I contacted him to see if we could get our retainer back since we had done no more work with him other than what would be comparable to the initial consultation which is advertised as free. He had the audacity to send me a check for less than 20% of the retainer. He kept over 80% of our retainer for the "free consultation" service. I also found it comical that he sent a bunch of non-personalized paperwork with the check to make it look as if he had spent many hours on our file. Honestly, I would have had more respect for him if he had just said that the retainer was non-refundable, but misrepresenting himself and coming up with fictitious hours to bill is infuriating. I don't often take the time to write reviews. The ones I do write are positive to let someone know how much I appreciate their services. In this case, though, I had to make an exception. I see that Mr. Beirne has other positive reviews, so if you still choose to use him after reading this, I hope that is your experience. Ours was the complete opposite.

This is for people who think all attorneys are created equal. I cannot say enough about Mr. sadigh…read moreand his law office. My case was handled with out most professionalism and care. I never had to chase him down for answers. I was referred to his office from a friend and I will certainly recommend him to my friends and family!

Our attorney referred us to Mr. Sadigh when he was unable to help us with a pending lawsuit, and that was the best thing that could have happened to my husband and I.

I cannot stress enough how grateful we are to have James and and the sense of security it provides.

I saw a youtube video from Sam about these companies, and I was sold. The price he charges is also competitive and they really help you through the entire process. I met with Lucas Donoso for my 30 minute consultation. He answered more questions than I could have imagined. I had asked similar questions to other organizations...but none of them could really help because they just want to sell me the business creation package...and outsource support. At Mollaei Law, all of the support is right there! After getting my confirmation, Sam replied to my email and kept me updated on the progress. My company was all set up and paperwork was available to me within a week. The most amazing part about it, is that Sam personally works with you and follows up on progress. I am very happy with this, and I am glad I bought the support package for keeping my business in compliance. Needless to say, I will be sticking with Mollaei Law for the long haul. Thank you again, Sam! You and your staff made this quick and painless. - Josh

He revised my living trust and walked me through every section in plain language, helping me understand exactly what my documents said and why, which gave me peace of mind at a very hard time. He also helped me build thoughtful protections for my children into the trust. These safeguards support them through young adulthood and encourage good financial decisions without taking away their independence. He listened to my concerns as a mother and turned them into clear, practical language. When someone tried to fraudulently take the deed to my home, Emahn acted quickly. He helped me catch it and resolve it before any harm was done. I can't overstate how grateful I am for how seriously and swiftly he handled it. He has continued to be a resource as my family's needs continue to change. He is responsive and patient, and he makes complicated legal matters feel manageable. I recommend Emahn to anyone who wants an attorney who is both highly competent and caring. Kim R.

We…read moretook him to the BAR for his billing practices, but because of his fine print, they found no formal wrongdoing. The BAR did agree that we didn't have to pay his final invoice, which we view as a partial acknowledgment that his billing structure may have been problematic. Tasks that could take 5 minutes are billed as 15 minutes. Even if it's writing an email that says one word. The worst part of our experience with Counts was that he billed us to respond to opposing counsel's deadline extensions, which were only needed because he missed his own deadlines. He has a history with defending himself at the BAR, so just do your own research and look at his other Yelp page, it's pretty accurate.

"The Game Changers"…read more Finding a reputable employment law attorney in Los Angeles was more difficult than I ever imagined. I had never filed a lawsuit before and there were hundreds of attorneys to choose from. I didn't know where to begin or for that matter who to trust. My particular situation had already been mishandled by several other attorneys by the time I crossed paths with Mr. Denis, his partner Mr. Kearns and their remarkable staff last year. It was Mr. Denis whom I met with last year. Denis was incredibly down to earth and genuine. There was no phoniness in his approach and he immediately put me at ease. His carefully chosen staff was always available and remained in constant communication with me during the course of my lawsuit. Mr. Kearns is like an NFL football coach. Kearns knows what he is doing and gets right to the point. I like that. He gave me great hope and never let me down. Their firm is known as "Extreme Justice". Mr. Denis is "justice" and Mr. Kearns is "extreme". Together they create a powerhouse duo that does what other attorneys don't do: they call you back and they keep their word. Denis and Kearns are with you every step of the way and speak to you directly with respect and efficiency. They understand the dynamics of the cases they chose to take on and keep their clients informed. Litigation can be, among other things, quite emotional. Denis and Kearns are sympathetic to the circumstances surrounding their client's legal situations and are patient, practical and above all knowledgeable. Together they defend their clients and achieve what most clients are seeking: peace of mind, closure and justice. They were game changers for me and they changed my life.
