Martin and Melissa called me back personally within a few hours of leaving a message at their office. They walked through my questions, answering them all and offered to follow up our phone call with a detailed review of our situation. Thanks for the help!

Martin was the first to answer my yelp inquiry to multiple firms regarding an issue I was having…read morewith a property management company. I appreciated immediately his inquisitive questions regarding my situation rather than the standard "we can write a demand letter for $XXX". He took the necessary time to understand completely the situation, reviewed the material I had to offer, and made an informed assessment of my options. Though Martin's understanding of real estate laws are clearly far superior to mine just by the nature of his professional career, he let me do as much talking as I needed to and didn't make me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. I highly recommend his services and wouldn't hesitate to use his firm in the future.

Richard's expertise on his areas of specialty is deep and wide. He fairly assesses the strengths…read moreand weaknesses of a case, he shows you all of the angles and likely pitfalls of the less wise courses of action, and explains his reasoning clearly. What more can you ask of an attorney on a civil matter? But wait, there's more: He's amazingly level headed and calm, always totally professional. These traits are essential when it is easy to get distracted by your own emotions on a potential legal case. I can't recommend him highly enough, and I would certainly ask for his services in the future.

Although I have engaged the professional services of Richard for years, it never occurred to me to…read morewrite a review, until today. Richard has expertly handled our requests for services ranging from real estate to contracts and more. His knowledge of the law is unquestionably solid. His pricing is especially fair. His response times are fast. Richard is one of the best listeners I've ever met. Small wonder that he's my go-to guy. I'm stingy with recommendations, but I have no hesitation with this one.

He referred me to an attorney named Mike Kim in Carlsbad. I hired Kim to get an injunction against…read morea co-condo owner who wired her condo to mine. Kim filed a lawsuit instead, against my wishes and without my knowledge. Kim also committed fraud and almost destroyed my life. I'm now left with a judgment of $900,000 against me for trespass because I lawfully walked on my own property. Additionally, Kim sued me for excessive fees. I paid half of those fees, yet the attorney didn't reduce the payment from an abstract of judgment filed as a lien against my home at the county recorders office. I no longer trust any attorneys. His referral has so far cost me almost a million dollars and 6 years of my life for no wrong doing whatsoever.

Since she called from her cell, I wonder just how badly I pissed her off...kinda funny, really... She tried to be intimidating . I'm not scared, sweetie. I'm smart and Latina too and funnier than you. Its important not to take ourselves too seriously. At NO TIME did she actually try to help me, only wanted to cover her ass for Yelp. I wonder if she's paying the monthly $300+ to Yelp for cutthroat advertising. .maybe theyll squelch this for her. I can create messages too. Or pay a secretary to do so. Covering bad practice by trying to instill fear? Are you serious? On the other hand, she has an impressive demeanor. If you hired her, she's probably kick ass in court for you...probably SO worth the money. LOLOLOLOL-I just think these random things.

A friend of mine and a past client of Michael gave me his number and i was so glad I called him right away.

The process wasn't easy and felt threatened with all the PHONE CALLS from the Lender but ATTY GADDIS AND HIS GROUP were there to reassure me. They were all so PROFESSIONALS and never made me feel that they are just there for the $$. I referred quite a few friends and colleagues for his service and All I can hear were positive feedback.

Charles is by far the most experienced real estate attorney out there -- over 45 years! I searched…read morehigh and low for an attorney that would eat, breathe, and sleep the law -- he came through. He won't baby you, he's direct and to the point. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear but the reality of your case -- even if it's hard to swallow. I appreciated his honesty even if it was hard to hear because ultimately, he saved me money where other attoneys were willing to bleed me dry. that said, he found a remedy to my case that avoided litigation and I appreciate that. I would definitely use him again. while all lawyers are expensive, I found him to be affordable given his experience. His paralegals are great and kept me informed which I appreciated. I read the review below, Charles might be tough but remember he's just as tough when he's fighting FOR you.

I am an expert paralegal and was referred to Charles regarding a real property and disability…read moreclaim. I have read Ryan's review and felt compelled to write my own review. Charles is as honest and transparent a lawyer as I have ever met, and I have worked for some big shot lawyers in my career. He is almost painfully honest. He will not mislead anyone about the possibly back-breaking cost of litigating a case, no matter how strong the merits of the case. People outside of the legal profession often think in terms of black and white. The legal profession deals in gray. It is subjective. It is moody. It can be unfair. More importantly, and sadly I must add, it acts to benefit the deepest pockets. Goliath will methodically use the legal system to deplete the resources of David. Goliath usually doesn't settle. My case is a good example. I had to clear title on my property. I had an extremely strong case against a corrupt local law firm and HOA (please feel free to look up my case), Farmers Insurance and a huge management company in Southern CA. It took me two years to get a preliminary injunction order. This is an order a Judge issues when he strongly believes one party will win the case. It is also a signal to the other party that settlement talks should probably begin. A year later I found myself attending my trial. The Judge strongly advised a settlement. Settle we did. The case took nearly three years to litigate. I didn't even recover one-third of my nearly $200k spend. Charles reduced his fees and absorbed many costs himself. Should I have settled with such a strong case? YES. They would have appealed me to death and I didn't have any funds left to defend myself. This is usually what David has to do. What many people look for is the "right" answer. The answer you want to hear. Some lawyers will give you that sales speech. Honest lawyers with integrity probably won't. Charles is a fighter and will fight for his clients to the end!! And, through this painful time he was my advocate and defender, and even though we've had our moments in the pressure cooker, he never lost sight of his mission. Now, he is my friend.
