After a claim was filed with our insurance, a friend had referred us to John Nojima. He was highly recommended as someone we should contact due to the severity of the accident. I'm so glad we did! From the initial phone conversation between my son and John, he calmly advised him that he should get checked out since he was still in shock and he would take care of the rest. John and his staff were constantly in communication throughout the entire year. Helping my son get appointments to see the best doctors and most importantly get the physical therapy he needed to recover from this horrible accident. If you should ever need a lawyer, I would recommend John Nojima in a heartbeat to family & friends because he has your best interest at heart! Thank you John for everything you did for my son!

BEWARE... Hiring the Kerendian Law office for a real estate matter turned out to be the biggest…read moremistake. When I hired the firm, I had a hazard on my property. So there was some urgency to get my case resolved. The problem was that my lawyer, Tom, waited WEEKS to substitute into my case, which obviously prevented any filings and caused delay. The owner Shab's response, "We aren't breaking any laws", then proceeded to become angry and begin yelling at me and then threatened to quit just for my bringing it up the valid issue. It gets worse. After the firm finally got around to filing paperwork for a default, the owner Shab reaches out and congratulates me for the request being entered or granted. The problem was that the court documents didn't reflect that and Shab figured the clerk erred. But when I asked him to check with the court to verify, Shab refused and said we would be fine. Then months later at our next hearing, my attorney finds himself arguing with the judge after being informed that the firm had erred once again and our request had indeed been rejected. But it was all for not. Turns out that so much time and energy and tens of thousands of dollars of my money had been wasted all because the Kerendian firm didn't do their due diligence and failed to serve all the proper parties in my case!! Then when I addressed yet another egregious error by the firm, the owner Shab refused to own up to their actions. Instead, the firm played the victim and claimed they felt like they were being "attacked" and requested for the judge to be subbed out of my case. So basically the firm ran for the hills all after I paid it nearly $20,000 dollars for a case supposedly in default. With all the damaged caused to my case by the Kerendian firm, as well as it overcharging me, it refused to do the honorable thing and return the money I requested. So my family is taking the firm to court for negligence and malpractice. We also fittingly filed an official complaint with the California State Bar. Learn from my family's experience and be sure to do a thorough background check on a potential attorney - including past court records. Good luck! I am an Air Force veteran and this is my true and sworn testimony.

I was kind of a client of Svitlana Sangary, but not as an attorney. She took $3000 cash from my…read moremother to pass on to me on her return to US and mentioned she wouldn't be able to do it right away since she is so incredibly busy. 4 months passed. She stopped answering my calls and I was only able to hear her voice for a few seconds when I was calling from somebody else's phone. 5 months later she mailed me a check without a signature, then asked to mail it back to her. I did. She claimed she never "received" it. Sangary's mother lives in Odessa, Ukraine and happens to be my mom's acquaintance. Svitlana Sangary was visiting with her mother in December 2011 and my mother asked her for a favor - to deliver $3,000 to me. Svitlana Sangary agreed and took $3000 cash from my mother. My mother is 90% blind 73 year old lady, and it's hard for her to utilize bank wire transfer or DHL services. This money was a present to her granddaughter, who turned 15 on Dec 24. I didn't let my mother know that this horrible person did. She is losing her eye sight when she gets nervous. How can I not let people know what kind of a person they are dealing with?!!!!!!! How can someone who is not hungry and does not need money to feed or treat hungry or sick children just keep someone else's money? She charges people hundreds of $$ per hour. She makes a lot of money. She is not needy!!!! I still cannot believe this happened. It must be made known to people. A year after I wrote this review I got SUED by Svitlana Sangary for defamation. She sued over 50!!!!!!!! people in the same case for the same charge - they wrote bad reviews about her on Yelp, Rip-Off Report, etc... It cost me over $4000 in lawyer's fees and tones of my time, effort and nervous energy: I had to respond to numerous SPECIAL INTERROGATORIES, discovery requests, etc... etc... Finally she dropped the charges at the court session (and that's why we couldn't collect these fees) in which the judge tentatively assigned the lawyer's fees to my wonderful lawyer, Harvey Katzman, who had already defended Sangary's victims before and won the cases. Luckily she got disbarred for malpractice, but unfortunately only temporarily. For a year or 2 if I'm not mistaken. So beware!!!!!!

I could not understand why it would not be a clear claim under the circumstances. Jacob K. Kashani personally got back to me and gave me a quick, simple, and honest explanation of how the process works. Even though it turned out to be a case he would not be able to help me with, he still took the time to explain things clearly and give me advice on the situation. To me, that says a lot. He even signed off by telling me that if I had any other questions, I could contact him again and he would be happy to help answer them. That is a first-class act. It is rare to find someone who will take the time to help, even when there is nothing in it for them. Jacob clearly cares about what he does and the people he speaks with. Five stars all the way.

Super weird that my original review was deleted! We had a…read morevery disappointing experience with this firm. My elderly mother sought their help after her business partner stopped sending her dividends, completely cutting her out of the business. During our initial consultation, Barack assured us that this was a straightforward, slam-dunk case. We paid $25,000 upfront, expecting diligent representation, but after four months, nothing had been done--not even basic communication with the opposing attorney. When an update hearing took place, the firm failed to address the crucial issue of my mother not receiving payments. How does an attorney stand in front of a judge and accomplish nothing? It felt as though Barack was intentionally dragging out the process just to keep billing us. I trusted him, in part because he presented himself as a person of faith, but unfortunately, our trust was misplaced. This firm seemed more focused on collecting fees than actually advocating for my mother. Extremely disappointed in the lack of action and professionalism.

Outstanding Legal Representation by Lurie & Kramer!…read more Facing a complex defamation and libel lawsuit, I was understandably anxious about choosing the proper Attorney to handle my case. I had no clue where to start. Since I subscribe to legal services provided by Legal Zoom, I decided to contact one of the Attorney affiliates I had hired in the past. Unfortunately, in this case, the old adage "you get what you pay for" applied. The Attorney assigned to my case was unable to articulate their strategy in my case clearly and there was absolutely no proactive follow-up informing me on the progress of my case. Needless to say, I was unhappy and started searching for another Attorney to represent me. Over the past several years, I heard AM 870 talk show radio host, Dennis Prager, extolling the virtues of his experience with Attorney Barak Lurie of the Lurie & Kramer law firm so I contacted them. I'm so glad I did! From the moment I engaged their services, I was met with a level of personal attention and professionalism that is truly unparalleled. The team at Lurie & Kramer immediately put my mind at ease with their deep understanding of the law and strategic approach. They expertly utilized the Anti-SLAPP motion, a powerful tool in defamation and libel cases, to protect my rights and interests. Their meticulous preparation and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. They took the time to understand every nuance of my case, ensuring no stone was left unturned. This personalized approach made me feel valued and confident that I was in the best possible hands. My first contact with the Lurie & Kramer law firm was with the firm's principal attorney, Barak Lurie, a seasoned litigator with a wealth of experience in handling high-stakes cases. His strategic thinking and unwavering commitment to justice were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome in my case. Brent Kramer, another key attorney at the firm, brought a sharp legal mind and a compassionate approach to every interaction. His ability to navigate complex legal issues with ease was truly impressive. Brent also knew I was on a tight budget so he did what he could to minimize my legal expenses throughout the entire litigation process. For this, I am grateful for Brent's representation. The successful outcome of my case is a testament to their legal acumen and unwavering commitment to their clients. Thanks to Lurie & Kramer, I was able to navigate this challenging situation with confidence and achieve a favorable resolution. I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional legal prowess and dedication to their clients. If you ever need top-notch legal representation, particularly in defamation and libel cases, I wholeheartedly recommend Lurie & Kramer. Their expertise, dedication, and personal touch make them an outstanding choice for anyone seeking justice and peace of mind.
