I had a quick legal question regarding a non-profit organization that I am assisting, and after…read moremuch research and searching the net, an answer was just as out of my reach as it was in the beginning. I found Methven & Associates online and on a whim, decided to give them a call and see if one of their attorneys could point me in the right direction. I left a message for a Bruce Methven. Some time later, I received a call from Mr. Methven. He gave me very thoughtful advice, listened patiently to my questions, and explained a few legal distinctions to me. I was very, very impressed by how invested he seemed in helping me help the non-profit find the right answer for it's situation. He was extremely generous with his time and kindly shared his expertise. Mr Methven clearly knew what he was talking about, and seemed eager to help. He spent over fifteen minutes of his own time on the phone with me - what a mensch! Finally, he explained the services his firm offers and how they could help us further. He also gave me some pointers on how to handle the issue myself. It was obvious he returned my call in order to help, not just to retain new clients. He was very honest about the types of matters that require legal expertise. He displayed the best attributes of the legal profession: integrity, fairness, and community service. Because of this experience with Mr. Methven, I would not hesitate to hire his firm.

I am a mortgage loan officer and was referred to Gerard by my personal trust attorney. I was…read moreworking with a client who had a past bankruptcy and after her discharge she purchased a home. Once we opened escrow and pulled a title report we found a lien against her property that should not have been attached to her home. The person who filed the lien, was not to be swayed that she had no standing post bankruptcy....and she was holding us hostage, so to speak. My client's previous bankruptcy attorney was not immediately responsive and then wanted to charge $750 to write a simple letter. This is where Gerard steps in! He was kind and patient and generous with his time. After reviewing the timeline a few simple documents, he crafted an email that was compelling and ultimately the lien was released. Since we were right in the middle of our refinance, the matter was time sensitive. He acted quickly and professionally and I am very grateful for his help! He refused to charge us for his time...he conveyed to me that he became a bankruptcy attorney to "help people - real people". Thank you again Gerard for your generosity!!

As a reluctant landlord I had some questions about a shady entitled tenants, estoppel and leases and John's answer was "it's a grey area". That seemed to be his answer to almost everything. His general advise seemed to be to just roll over while reciting Berkeley rent laws which are all available free of charge in a pamphlet from the Berkeley Rent Board. IDK, maybe its just that Berkeley screws landlords and he's giving sound advise which is to avoid a fight at all costs. I've been lucky enough to not have to test that hypothesis (fingers crossed). I can't speak to his acumen in fillings, contracts, etc...so take it as offered.
