I made the mistake of not choosing Bornstein Law from the start. My sister, who works in the Civil…read moreSection of the Sheriff's Office, spoke highly of Attorney Bornstein and his team's high volume of successful eviction cases. Unfortunately, I let the negative reviews in here influence my decision and hired another attorney instead and it cost us valuable time. What immediately stood out to us was Bornstein Law's transparency. Their terms and fees are clearly listed on their website. That was a big relief after the other attorney was trying to get us to sign with their firm and start an eviction over a small issue (Bornstein Law's fees are more affordable vs the other attorney we talked to). During our consultation, we didn't have to spend a long time explaining every detail of our situation and Attorney Bornstein had already identified the issue and presented several options to resolve our tenant issue. He was direct, practical, and didn't sugarcoat anything. I can see how some people might interpret that as feeling unheard, but in our case, we appreciated his efficiency. He was also considerate enough to recommend options that would cost us less because our matter was not an eviction case. After the call, I realized why some reviews mention communication issues. At the end of our consultation, he accidentally placed us on hold, apparently thinking the call had already ended. Should we be upset about it? Maybe. But compared to finally having a clear path forward for our tenant issue, it felt like a minor mistake. We left the consultation relieved and confident about our next steps.

Then I spent a lot of time preparing a summary of my case and then they decide not to take on the case based on being too busy? All attorneys caseloads full?? You'd think they would've told you that in the beginning that they can't take on new cases? This has happened with a couple of other law firms as well. And they won't give an answer Why?? This is very unprofessional. I asked if they could put me on a waitlist and they said no once they've not taken the case they don't take it in the future?? So there's some ulterior motive here? Then they referred me to a few people that left their firm and formed their own firm and they did the same thing?

Although my case ultimately…read morehad to move forward in a different direction, I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with the firm, especially Attorney Toven Lim. Throughout the process, Toven was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and resourceful. What stood out to me most was the way he treated me as a person. I never felt rushed or dismissed during our conversations. He took the time to listen to me, answer my questions, and explain things clearly. Even during moments when I was frustrated and simply needed to express how I was feeling about the situation, I genuinely felt heard and understood. Legal matters take time, and the process can be difficult and frustrating, but throughout my experience with this firm, I always felt that I was in knowledgeable and capable hands.
