I can confidently say many of these are coached and self appointed reviews, look at the names of reviewers and see the specific commuity connection. I saw this law office's own staff put reviews for themselves here. Since they had numerouse cheap and incompetent lawyers hired from the market represent me in court and give me legal advice, I later saw their names as reviewers. They gave 5-stars to their BOSS (Ali Yousefie). So they did on ​​other feedback and reviewing platforms. His hired cheap lawyers will work on your case, not Ali himself although incompetent himself. $$$ is the #1 and ONLY value for this law office. I had to see it for myself being deceived. Cruelty and holding clients as hostages of their own case and for the attorney fee already paid. I paid TENs of THOUSANDS of dollars for almost nothing. I only won after I fired them and went to custody court myself. I also found how negligent and incompetent they were after I had to learn the applicable law and letigation myself. Don't ENTRAP yourself. Do your homework and make an informed decision if you want to hire them. They also try their best to remove negative but truthful feedback about them.

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.

I retained Elaine to represent me in a complex and protracted divorce matter involving spousal…read moresupport, child support, the division of real estate, and the separation of retirement accounts and pensions. Throughout the entire process, Elaine demonstrated exceptional legal skill, professionalism, and diligence. From the outset, the case was challenging due to an opposing party who was unwilling to negotiate and an imbalance in perceived influence and connections. Elaine immediately provided a sense of confidence and security, ensuring that I felt protected and fully represented at every stage. Her advice was consistently sound, practical, and direct, allowing me to make informed decisions during an extremely stressful period. Elaine's preparation and attention to detail were exemplary. She demonstrated complete command of every aspect of my case, and nothing was ever overlooked. She was consistently responsive, communicative, and thorough. One of her greatest strengths was her ability to assemble and manage a highly skilled team of financial experts and analysts. Through her leadership, our legal positions were supported by extensive documentation, detailed financial data, and clear evidentiary proof. As a result, whether in negotiations or in court, our case was always presented from a position of strength and credibility. Over the many years this matter was litigated, Elaine's preparation and advocacy were unmatched. She achieved consistently favorable outcomes and did not suffer a single loss. Her experience and strategic approach were evident at every stage of the proceedings. Divorce is an inherently difficult and emotional process, and this case represented one of the lowest points in my life. Elaine combined strength, professionalism, and genuine care, which made an immeasurable difference. Contrary to the common belief that no one is satisfied at the conclusion of a divorce, I was pleased with the outcome and relieved knowing that my interests had been fully protected. I could not have navigated this process without Elaine's guidance and advocacy. She is highly experienced, deeply respected, and an exceptional attorney. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking skilled and steadfast representation.
