He was referred to me from a mortgage broker as I was months deep into legal wrangling with my older brother in regards to getting a reverse mortgage done for my parents that was held up with a really bad restated trust from another local elder attorney. I wish I had met Ryan about 4 months earlier. After multiple other attorneys, broker, lender and various other people missed a missing signature on the trust, Ryan found it immediately and this ended my legal battle with my brother and I was able to execute the reverse mortgage. Ryan answered my calls and emails quickly. I asked him to prepare copies of documents and letters to my brothers with the legal updates. I am so grateful for his due diligence with this crazy situation we were put in by this other lawyer. He is now my go to lawyer for questions on the trust moving forward. THANK YOU, Ryan!!

I got served by Stenberg & Stenberg so I can tell you the other half of their service. First, I…read morewasn't home so the person left a note taped to my door. It had their name, but looked like it had been just printed off of a computer. In other words, it did not look like a letterhead of an official business. The note also didn't show who was the respondent or person who they needed to serve and they had no way of knowing how many people lived at our place. My husband called and found out it was for me and what the lawsuit was about. When someone tries to serve you, you should check to make sure this is legit as opposed to a scam. You should ask: 1. Who is being served. 2. What type of documents are being served. The server should tell you the type of action and the claimant (who is suing you). So now you should have two names and the type of action. 3. What courthouse is the lawsuit filed and what's the case number. 4. Court date. This way you can look it up and check. After which you might want to talk to an attorney. We were served on Saturday so that means we wouldn't be able to reach an attorney or our insurance agent (the matter was a car accident) until Monday. The rule about business calls is three-business days. This office called my husband on Tuesday. He contacted me. I called our insurance office twice, but was unable to speak with my agent. I called Stenberg to tell them. First, I explained I wished to talk to my agent first and to make an appointment with my agent so I could be served there. This is reasonable, however Stenberg was not reasonable. He claimed this would be a problem for the following reasons: 1. I needed to be served at the address on the papers. 2. It was for my convenience. 3. It would cost his client more money. 4. I didn't have time. A person can be served at one's residence, at one's place of business or somewhere one frequents. It is reasonable to request to be served at one's legal representative's office. As it turns out, the person suing me isn't using his residential address. The address used is his lawyer's. From the website Stenberg & Stenberg write: "Conveniently located in Koreatown, in the heart of the Los Angeles Basin, we service centrally located law firms for Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Bernardino County and Riverside County Courts. Through our extensive network of affiliates, we can handle assignments for you throughout California and the United States." Yet Stenberg had other excuses like it would be hard for him to get someone there. I was going to run out of time--not true because I asked for the court date. He was rudely talking over me. So I stopped talking. He eventually stopped and said, "Hello. Hello?" He claims I hung up. I just stopped speaking to someone who is rude. This was Tuesday and still well within the three business days and I had explained I had not yet spoken with my legal advisor. Stenberg immediately called my husband and said I was difficult to work with. My husband tells me he had to calm Stenberg down. I feel it was more likely that Stenberg was just trying to pressure him to pressure me, but also his way of getting more information about me. This should strike some women as very sexist. I would contend that calling my husband also borders on harassment, particularly because he mentioned he could serve me at 6 a.m. People who know me know that doesn't actually work as a threat. The lawsuit involved me. My husband is only involved as the registered owner. Stenberg had also called me before the three-business days were up and left a message. I was able to connect with my insurance agent and make an appointment later that day (still Tuesday). Rather than contact this rude business, I emailed him the appointment time and date. Despite his previous claims, presto! He immediately was able to make arrangements. I made sure to tell him that he was rude, and he claimed that by hanging up I had been rude. This again isn't true. If hanging up on someone is rude, then we'd all be at the mercy of telemarketers. I am writing this for several reasons. If you want to keep things civil, this might not be the company for you. I was trying to work out a reasonable solution and if the claimant wants to use his legal representative's address for service, then why would it be unseemly or unreasonable for me to be served at the office of my legal representation? While Stenberg didn't deliberately mislead me, if I didn't know my legal options, I might have been bullied into doing something at his convenience. I also write because having been served, I can tell you that the notice given didn't provide me with information that should be clear--to whom the note was addressed. I also can show that the note didn't look like a professional business stationary or form. Receiving a notice in this form immediately made me research to make sure it was not a scam.

Strategic Tax Lawyers took our money and put us in worse shape…read more As with many others we went to Strategic Tax Lawyers (mytaxattorney) because we had issues with the IRS. We trusted them to file a CNC and eventually file an OIC (offer in compromise). As far as we knew everything was going well. One day we received a letter from the IRS telling us we immediately owed them over $20k and that we were no longer in CNC. It turns out that our "lawyers" revoked their power of Attorney. This triggered us to be pulled out of CNC (currently non collection) status. When I asked Mr. Mobasserniaa why they revoked the power of attorney it was because they did not want to receive any more mail from the IRS and that this was something they normally do. This was a shock to us. First off revoking the Power of attorney, with no notice, is not only inexcusable it is unethical. So we hired an IRS Tax Professional. Within minutes (literally) they discovered problems with YEARS of taxes. Something Strategic Tax Attorneys should have seen within the first days of receiving our business (and what they were paid to do). What the Tax Professional discovered was that not only do we not owe anything, WE ARE GETTING A REFUND. There is a lien on the house that caused us so much stress that it ruined our marriage. Turns out we never had that debt. But the damage was done. Things they did not catch (that they were PAID to catch)... - In 2009 there were no deductions taken out at all - We paid $8000 but it was not included in the return. When we talked to the IRS they told us that they had a check sitting there for us? - Although we paid for 2013 and 2014 returns, they were NOT filed. Strategic Tax Lawyers told me, and tried to show me, that they filed the taxes. The IRS told us that those years were NOT filed. AT ALL. So we paid for nothing - They filed a CNC and never intended to make an OIC. My Wife repeatedly inquired about this on MULTIPLE occasions and was put off and told that we had to wait. So many times that it became too late to file an OIC. - Making an Offer in Compromise - Getting us out of our IRS problems - Filing our taxes correctly None of those were carried out by Strategic Tax Lawyers. Even though they charged us for all of them. They mishandled tax information of their clients. We were emailed another persons' tax forms and information. I would not trust them, at all, with my taxes or any information. They took our money and did none of what they promised.
