I have a complex issue that I needed to discuss verbally with Mr. Herzog so I requested a phone…read morecall or an in person appointment if needed. However, he texted me twice so far in response. I am low-vision, have carpal tunnel in both wrists and arthritis in my hands so reading and writing text messages is very difficult. That is why I asked for a phone call. The first text said that he was sorry but he couldn't help me; he referred me to ACBA; however, I used to refer clients to ACBA when my then husband couldn't help them. I managed my now ex-husband's law practice for 14 years and I was dedicated to helping as many people as possible whether they signed as clients or not. I left a voice response to Mr. Herzog's first text and again asked for a phone call, but I received a second text: he thought it necessary to educate me to the fact that lawyers have "practice areas." He added that I shouldn't contact a "random lawyer." I'm 76 years old; my first husband is a personal injury (PI) lawyer. Suffice it to say, I know attorneys have practice areas. I was advised to seek a real estate attorney about a crucial issue that needs immediate attention within the next few days. David Herzog gets good reviews; however, I will not contact him further because he did not have the courtesy to call me despite my repeated request. As a permanently disabled 76-year old woman, I know enough to find someone who will speak with me on the phone in order to accomodate my disabilities. Mr. Herzog is not that person.

Jean came highly recommended by both my mortgage company and a real estate agent and it quickly became clear why she was recommended so highly. Her expertise in navigating all aspects of the home purchase process and her calm demeanor even in the face of a couple of unexpected hiccups made the entire experience much less daunting and stressful. I am very grateful to Jean for representing me and can't recommend her highly enough!

Their empathy, strong communication, and dedication stood out, and we truly felt supported the entire way. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to settle outside of court and finally move forward.

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.
