I hired Mr. Garcia to handle an eviction involving a problematic tenant. I was assured the…read morepaperwork would be handled promptly. Instead, he sat on it. By the time anything was done, the tenant had already moved out ( mind you that was 2 1/2 months or maybe even 3 months, after I hired this ambulance chaser ) leaving me with thousands of dollars in losses, due to the loser squatting in my house for 5 months rent free. Yet, mr Garcia Then claimed he would pursue a judgment--gathering my information, photos, etc. yet another promise that went nowhere. When the case finally appeared on the calendar, the confusion and panic coming from his office made it painfully clear that nothing had been handled properly. Shortly after, I received paperwork showing the case was no longer being handled by his office. Not surprise at all. Nor did I actually care, because at that point, I found an amazing attorney who actually cares (yet best for Mr Garcia to use his own time & money and file the paperwork then me - and that's just what he had to do). This wasn't a simple oversight from Mr Garcia . It's a pattern of his negligence. Based on my experience, and on the similar stories shared by others ( who private messaged me ) , I cannot recommend his services to anyone. He's very lazy at his job. Don't say I didn't warn ya!

TLDR: As the other reviewers have said he offers great legal advise in conversation or a casual…read moremeeting and always has a nice staff. If the job of your attorney is to put financial restitution back into the hands of their clients then for me Amir is 0/3. One case dropped and two cases won in my favor yet no restitution was made. If you want an attorney to file paperwork or simply need an LLC setup then Amir is great but if you are looking for financial restitution then I would seek representation elsewhere. EDIT: Not sure what Amir is talking about he never recommended any other service for collections. This statement is also confusing since he handled collections for my first case, for which the guy eventually defaulted only for Amir to then say I need to go to collections. I asked specifically when receiving the final invoice if that was all he had for me and nothing else? I asked his receptionist if he had any more information about the case that I need to proceed and she said no he does not handle collections. Amir followed up with a call to confirm the case was over with no recommendation on law firms in the area to handle the collection. Following that 3 min phone call and a 20 word email response can you guess what I got from Amir.....? Yep, ANOTHER INVOICE. To anyone reading this you seriously do not hate lawyers enough. Sad times for the American legal system when La Cosa Nostra could have better kept these contracts enforced more than Amir. The entire process is a scam. I budgeted food and living expenses to pursue financial restitution only to be nickel and dimed by a useless attorney who provided zero restitution all while driving a $200,000 car. I have had the pleasure of working with Amir on 3 separate cases. He is very knowledgeable and offers great legal advise on the macro level. He is great at what I call door knob legal advise... advise given during casual conversation or an initial meet. Unfortunately on all 3 occasions the businesses who defrauded me never had to pay a cent in restitution. Perhaps this is caused by the fact that the consumer protection laws as well as legal recourses in this nation do not benefit individuals and simply favor businesses. Here is a brief history of my legal disputes Amir has handled for me. First was a roofer who defaulted on a contract and provided a roof that needed a complete replacement. Amir tried and won the case resulting in a judgement of about ~42k in my favor. Amir advised I let the roofer pay it in installments and after paying twice the roofer stopped paying and Amir said I had to go to a different attorney for collections. I believe at the end his legal fees had approached about $18,000. Roofer got paid his $40,000, Amir got his $18,000, and I got about $2,000 back before he defaulted and ghosted. Second was the appliance and plumbing supplier Pirch, after purchasing and paying in full for appliances Pirch closed their doors and kept my payment and my appliances and plumbing fixtures. This was about $40,000. Upon them declaring bankruptcy Amirs advice was to drop it since it is now in bankruptcy court and apparently that changes the process and severely diminishes your chance of restitution. He had racked up a few thousand in legal fees by the time we dropped the case. This guy even had the nerve to bill me because he wrote a letter about Pirch declaring bankruptcy, which was in every headline and furthermore could have been an email that at most takes 30 seconds to write and maybe 2 min to open app and send. Instead it was a 30 min billable for a few hundred dollars lol. To his credit when I brought up to him how ridiculous that is, he removed the charge. Absolutely the most hilariously lawyer thing ever. Rather than write a 1 min email this guy drafted a legal letter, created a PDF, applied his signature, then input his time into my billables LMAO. Third time was with a dock builder who took an $18,000 deposit on a dock then completely ghosted me and has missed his delivery time by about 2 years. Amir tried and won this case, by default judgement so its not like he did anything other than file paperwork, with about $10,000 in legal fees. Upon receiving a judgment in my favor I was told by Amir that I now need to find a collections attorney since he does not handle that process. Now I am faced with the decision to retain another lawyer (probably about $3k-$8K) to pursue this judgment or just accept the loss and not accrue any more lawyer fees. There was a long stretch of time during this case when my messages were not getting to him because I guess his messaging agency was forwarding his messages to someone else. His office was very apologetic about this and I have not had a problem since. Two cases tried and won in my favor by Amir and neither have resulted in any financial restitution.

As a postscript to this review, my HOA tried to extort this law firm's exorbitant fees from me over…read morea year later -- a total of over $6000 for a two-page nastygram. That's over $3000 a page! The HOA quickly dropped the matter after I pushed back with my own attorney. Maybe Ms. Emily Long, the attorney who wrote the letter, should have asked the HOA whether they could afford her firm's pricy fees. Now our dues are going up by the maximum amount mid-year to pay for "unexpected" legal fees. Or maybe Ms. Long could have advised that an over-the-top, retaliatory (and expensive) letter wasn't the best path forward for my HOA.
