I came in the office for my initial consultation and from the moment that I met Mr. Appel I felt extremely comfortable and at ease. My wife and I put all of our trust in Mr. Appel and his team and we are extremely grateful with everything they did. The entire process was explained to us in plain English that we could understand and there were never any surprises. My wife and I strongly recommend Mr. Appel and the Appel law firm to represent anyone, and I truly hope that I never have an accident, but if I do and/or anyone in my family does, I will make sure that they contact the Appel Law Firm. Mr. Appel, thank you and your staff for everything and making us feel at ease throughout the entire process as we are sure that you will do the same to anyone that comes through your door. Very truly yours. Fernando Peinche

We heard back from Mr. Elder; I'll just say that he was one of the rudest, if not the rudest, attorney I have ever encountered. He could have simply said he didn't think we had a case, or wasn't interested in the case (as some others have before I found my attorney) but he took time to chew me out via email and make me feel stupid. I honestly don't know if he was having a bad day, or what he got out of sending such an aggressive and abrasive letter to a non client, but I found it very unprofessional. I have since found representation and gotten compensated for my injuries, just wanted to warn others out there that if your encounter with this attorney is that they're astonishingly rude to the point of being mean, you're not alone.

When I walked in, I was surprised to see mountains of books and papers everywhere in this tiny little office. The office was old and run down, but don't let that fool you one bit. Mark has taken on my case with the full steam and diligence of a newly graduated lawyer ready to take on the world. He has responded to my emails not only promptly, but in written letter usually received by the very next day. He is very well educated on the current workers comp laws and is a no bullshit kind of guy. He saved my case from a $1500 throwout settlement to a roughly $40,000 settlement. Most lawyers will not take over a workers comp case in mid suit. There is simply not enough money in it for them. Mark Berg did and I urge anyone seeking a workers comp attorney in the Bay Area to call his offices right away. Even if you think you don't need one, you do!

I was contacted immediately, and I could feel her urgency to help me reach the right person in her firm. She helped me in a way that made me feel I was in the right hands. She was very kind and caring. I then spoke to Anthony, who gathered all of my information. He was very professional and patient. I was called back in a couple of days and had an appointment to meet with Randall Strauss. I was amazed. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, humorous, and I could tell that he genuinely wanted to help me in the best way he knew how. I feel confident that I was in the right hands to protect me. My last encounter was with Diane Rames. She is the office manager at the firm. I had such a good time speaking with her and sharing common experiences. She was polite, funny, and a joy to meet.

This law firm will steal all of your money blatantly with no remorse. Beware!!!!…read more I was promised that my case were simple domestic violence and divorce would take $10,000-$15,000 max they started out with Miss Dost who was professional kind, caring, and attentive to the case and the billing was so minimal as time progressed in the beginning and then here comes the bait and switch the main Attorney steps in and sees that I actually have money to pay for my attorneys fees. All he did is ask me questions about my financial position and getting to know me and that is when I saw him start to go to work on me not my case. I got an email from a lady in the law firm demanding an additional $5000 so I looked at my bill and saw that Paul had reviewed my case for strategic planning and execution November 4, $3000 charge out of my account which I thought was very steep, and what did he do to charge that amount of money was a question to me. In December we where to have a phone conference which he postponed for a later date and I accepted, but when I spoke to him about my case he knew absolutely nothing about the case, none of the details and then tells me that "he didn't have my file in front of him", and the phone call kept dropping and trying different method to communicate which he was still charging me Before. I immediately wrote an email to the whole entire law firm, expressing my concerns about the lack of knowledge and preparation in a detailed itemized list, then reflecting back on what he charged me for a month prior was "strategizing and reviewing the case". So I asked Paul the question how could you charge me $3000 and then 30 days later you know nothing about the case?? He assured me, (Paul) that he likes to get familiar with the case right before the court date that way it's fresh in his mind and do not worry I will not double charge you. Not only was he still not prepared at the court date he was studying in the hallway and jotting down notes. He then was delivering to the court and to my ex-wife false information that I had to correct him on in the courtroom. While questioning me on the stand he also asked me questions to clarify dates and he had the dates wrong in his questions that I had to clarify on the stand. At the end of all this he charged me double again!!!! When I confronted him about the double charge, (because they requested an additional $15,000 which would put me at $30,000 and we still haven't even finished the domestic violence) He had his Hinchman bill collector office lady call me demanding the funds and said, "well it's your right to have representation and if you don't want it come pick up your things or I will mail them to you"! Paul finally got on the phone after a week or two of me demanding his presence and an explanation for these charges. He argued with me and said "I don't even remember your ex-wife's name right now, we are guaranteed to forget, so if I charged you for it back then and I forgot...... it's legal services that I provide and I'm not giving you any money back". As a business owner I replied to him... "can you imagine if I told you that I put in an air-conditioning unit at your home and it's guaranteed to not work, but I'm going to charge you for it anyways. I was dumbfounded by his response!! All of the email responses that were supposed to go over to my ex and her lawyer, when I received all my documents nothing was communicated only three responses at the beginning of the case they prolonged the case along with Joanne Scheinberg law firm to exploit myself and my ex-wife and misappropriate the funds. One of the court appearances Paul said so loudly "this law firm (speaking of Joanne Scheinberg) are crooks!. All they want to do is want to take your money". I think the judge heard him!! He said it so loud and the Attorney for Johnn Steinberg smirked and looked at Paul as they locked eyes. I'm going to spend a lot of time and effort and energy to expose this law firm along with Joanne Steinberg. It is criminal what they are doing. I fired Next Leagl and represented myself the next trial. They didn't even give me my documents to the day of my hearing in the morning. They have no regard for you as a person. All they want is your money do not fall for the bait and switch this Attorney comes to court even in a dirty suit, uncut hair and bad breath, it was the worst experience of my life. And I deal with many attorneys in my day-to-day business. This is by far the worst law firm ever. And they will be exposed. Anyone with questions or validation of these claims. Please reach out directly and I will provide all documentation so you can see the truth for yourself run from this law firm protect yourself from this scam.

Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless, which was a huge relief. I was placed on probation for two years, and once my probation was completed, Lamano Law successfully helped me get my case expunged. Most importantly, they helped protect my commercial driving license, which allowed me to continue working and supporting myself. Their dedication, communication, and results exceeded my expectations.
