I knew this team would be the right one for me. I predominantly worked with Dean, who is very calm and communicative. Dean was always transparent about where we were in the process and what to expect next. Both Dean and Gina were very understanding and supportive during this stressful time. They were happy to jump on a call if I had any questions or concerns. Anytime I emailed the team, I would always get a prompt response within normal business hours.

As a startup, it was important for us to have a complete set of workplace policies to protect us as we build our team. David helped us implement important workplace policies that could scale as we grow (e.g., arbitration, zero tolerance, expense reimbursement) and advised us on how to best use these policies to protect us from lawsuits. Throughout the process, David was hard working, meticulous, and knowledgeable. We appreciated that he truly tried to understand our business and seemed to genuinely want our business to succeed. He asked a lot of questions to learn about our operations and goals to tailor the legal policies to our company. He then offered numerous options to address our goals and explained the advantages and disadvantages of each option from a legal perspective. For example, we value doing things differently but better and also taking care of our team members. David explained to us different vacation policies we could implement and ultimately helped us develop an unlimited vacation policy for our team. With David's help, we now have all the right systems and policies in place to grow our business and team. I highly recommend David as an employment attorney.

I was very pleased with the services of Jonathan Jackel of Rousso & Jackel. Without too much…read moredetail, I was employed for many years by a large out-of-state corporation who forfeited my unused vacation hours each year. When I resigned from the company I requested payment of my forfeited hours of vacation but was rebuffed. I retained Jonathan Jackel after interviewing several other law firms. I hope he is not offended by my comments, but I choose Jonathan because he was the most down-to-earth individual of all the attorney's interviewed. He didn't appear to have a huge ego and he came across as genuine and trustworthy. Also, in my opinion it is important in wage claims cases, particularly in front of the DLSE, to have an attorney who knows the system and who doesn't come off as a slick corporate attorney. On to my story, the company fought my claim and at a DLSE hearing Jonathan represented me while a large corporate law firm attorney from Los Angeles represented the employer. The result was a victory in the DLSE hearing for $33K. But all was not over. Of course my former employer appealed the case to the Superior Court of CA. This meant we started all over again and it eventually ends up with a trial. Although the process took about 3-years due to the court system, we eventually went to trial in front of a Judge, known as a "De Novo" or "bench trial." Again, the slick corporate attorney from LA representing my former employer and Jonathan Jackel representing me. We met beforehand to prepare, even meeting on a Sunday for several hours (wow). Jonathan was well prepared with a trial binder with all exhibits numbered, organized and easy to find. He encourages his client to participate and read all of the materials. Come Monday we start trial, Jonathan makes his opening statement and then I take the stand for the next 4 1/2 hours. Just like the movies, the defense attorney tries to get me to slip up on the witness stand, Jonathan does what he needs to do when appropriate and by the end of the day the judge said she was ready to give us her verdict. Despite the tactics of the defense attorney and their witness who lied, Jonathan stuck to our case and we were victorious, winning a judgement of $48K plus attorney's fees which I am guessing will be about another $17K back to me, for a total of approximately $65K. I highly recommend Jonathan, he is ethical, intelligent, witty and most of all, effective. He knows labor law and how to present an argument on behalf of a plaintiff.

Should you find yourself in a similar situation, do not hesitate to give Nora or Jonathan a call.

Michael has been my attorney since 2019. I am really lucky to have found him! He has represented me…read morein several court cases: 1) I paid $3,500 to a tax relief company that promised to negotiate with the IRS to reduce my indebtedness. The next year I received a tax refund that eliminated the debt. The tax relief company did not engage in negotiations with the IRS for a reduction. Michael sued the company for deceptive business practices because at the time I paid the money they already had information about my income and the upcoming refund. The company retained an attorney and later agreed to settle. I received the entire $3,500 back and Michael got attorney's fees. 2) A former healthcare provider disclosed my private information without my consent. Michael sued the provider for violation of the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act.The provider retained an attorney and later agreed to settle. I received a monetary compensation and Michael got attorney's fees. 3) In 2016 I filed with the Board of Psychology two complaints against a psychological assistant and her supervisor. When the investigations were still pending, the assistant obtained a psychologist's license. In August 2019, she reached a settlement with the board and agreed to a 5-year probation. In January 2020, the supervisor surrendered her license. However, in June 2019 they sued me for civil harassment alleging that my complaints were purportedly "fabricated" and that I purportedly "defamed" them by posting negative Yelp reviews that ruined their practices. Michael filed an anti-SLAPP motion which was erroneously denied. The appellate court reversed the denial even though the plaintiffs' appellate attorney had over 40 years of experience and was fighting tooth and nail. After the appeal, the case was dismissed and the plaintiffs paid attorney's fees. My reviews are still posted. 4) In 2019 Michael agreed to represent me in a civil case which is still ongoing. I am suing the former psychologist and her assistant (see (3) above) for engaging in deceptive business practices. Because the former psychologist had a malpractice insurance policy, the insurer was forced to provide a defense. The insurer retained an attorney with more than 40 years of experience in medical malpractice. The defense attorney has essentially unlimited financial resources and did everything imaginable to dismiss the case as well as to stonewall discovery. Even though Michael is a solo practitioner and has a very limited budget, he successfully defended me against two demurrers, a motion for judgment on the pleadings and a motion for summary judgment. Recognizing that the defendants cannot prevail on the merits, the defense attorney attempted to disqualify my attorney. This attempt failed. Despite gross disparity in experience and financial resources, the defendants' attorney was unable to dismiss the case even after more than 3 years. 5) In 2020 Michael agreed to represent me in a family case involving a dispute over spousal support. My ex-husband was represented by two attorneys who had significantly more experience and specialized exclusively in family matters. Opposing counsel argued that I must pay spousal support for the rest of his life. After a six-hour trial, the court rejected all arguments advanced by opposing counsel and sided with Michael who argued that I hadn't owed any spousal support since 2016. The court then ordered my ex-husband to pay attorney's fees. 6) In 2021 Michael agreed to represent me in a civil case where I asked to rescind a gift that I gave to my ex-husband in 2017 as a result of my illness. My ex-husband was represented by an experienced attorney who filed a demurrer challenging the complaint on multiple grounds, including on the basis of the statute of limitations. Michael successfully defended me against the demurrer. The court accepted Michael's arguments and rejected all arguments advanced by my ex-husband's attorney who had significantly more litigation experience and regularly serves as a judge pro tempore. Although I am not a lawyer myself, I hold the degree of Master of Legal Studies from Stanford Law School. The degree entitles me to teach law and conduct research in the area of law. During my studies at Stanford, I took Advanced Legal writing and coursework where I produced scholarly papers to pass the class. I am thus qualified to judge Michael's legal writing and can tell that it is spectacular. Michael is brilliant (I concur with another Natasha who reviewed Michael before me :)) and his writing is lucid, compelling, concise and cogent. That for Michael English is a third language (not even a second language) and he writes So Very Well is utterly amazing. If you speak Russian or Hebrew, Michael can distill complex jurisprudential concepts to you in accessible form in your native language. Michael is infinitely available on the phone any time I have a question. He has been a true blessing in my life. Highly recommended!!
