When you are dealing with one of the worst life experiences you might ever face, the last thing you want to worry about is if you have the right team behind you. My family has had such a lovely experience with Metis Law Group. Paperwork was always filed on time, we were made aware of everything that was going on, timely email responses, and very thorough. They are extremely knowledgeable and I could tell in my court filings that no stone was left unturned. We settled our case with better results than everyone was expecting and I'm happy to put this terrible thing situation in the rear view mirror. read more

I can't thank Metis Law Group enough for handling my settlement. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, & genuinely caring. They made a stressful process so much easier & always kept me informed. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of dedicated & trustworthy legal assistance. read more

The Metis Law team was phenomenal. They listened to my issues, gave me solid advice and guidance on what could and should happen, and then efficiently and effectively executed their strategy. They're great communicators and I'd highly recommend them to anyone needing assistance. read more

I can't say enough great things about Metis Law Group. I came to them with a frustrating issue involving a roof leak at my previous apartment--something other attorneys had declined to take on. From the very beginning, the team at Metis was incredibly supportive and willing to help when no one else would. They kept in regular contact, walked me through each step of the process, and made me feel heard throughout. Their administrative staff was also fantastic--responsive, kind, and just as supportive as the attorneys themselves. Thanks to their hard work and persistence, we were able to reach a great settlement. I'm truly grateful for everything they did. Highly recommend this team! read more

Mulled this one over as to how I should approach this, but I've bit my tongue for far too long. I've known Zhana and Metis Law group for around now 3 years, and in recent discoveries, it has come to my attention how completely mishandled my case was -- but only in hindsight. I will tackle 3 corners of legal blunders of sorts: Incompetence Unprofessionalism Unethical practice Allow me to explain: Incompetence: Zhana failed to know that my apartment was under rent control. That is literally an establishing baseline procedure to determine not only how to approach any sorta litigation, but also extremely useful come time for settlement negotiation. For such a seasoned attorney she claims to be, I don't understand how should could fail something so fundamental. Boggles my mind. When confronting her on the issue, she deflected; passing it off with doing me a solid 'no good deed goes unpunished' instead of taking any sorta responsibility. This would be like a proclaimed scientist unable to point out Hydrogen on the periodic table. This would be like a personal injury attorney settling a case before retaining the at-fault parties insurance. Doesn't know important aspects of the law. She was blissfully ignorant in the procedures for a no-fault eviction, especially in the necessary right of return paperwork that must be filled 30 days onset of displacement. For someone who advertises as a tenant and eviction attorney, that's 50 percent true. Get this, she claimed ignorance for the law. 'How do I know what the state law is?' I'm representing you on habitability only. Yeah. Okay. But in this case they were kinda conjoined as one followed the other. Any reasonable/competent attorney would have been able to properly counsel on this issue. And if the previous was bad, this was worse. Possibly malpractice. Unprofessionalism: I suspect the incompetency is an outgrowth of caseload mismanagement. This is pure speculation, but I think her firm takes in way too many clients per year and they're legally spread thin. Why do I believe that? In many instances, it takes an absurd amount of time to respond to clients email. In a couple of instances, it took over 20 days time specifically for me. In other instances, the emails were just ignored completely. Unethical practice: In the late early to middle stages of my case, Zhana emailed me demanding i email questions less frequently.This wasn't an informal request, she literally wanted me to sign it as if it's a legally binding contract. Who does this? This was grotesque and inappropriate. But you know what else is inappropriate? Her firm not doing their due-diligence/homework and knowing my unit was under rent-control. Maybe I didn't email enough questions apparently. In light of all the f-ups, plus the fact I was irreputably damaged as a result of her incompetence, the 45 percent take from my settlement is borderline usury. Zhana, if you're reading this, I am filing a bar complaint. Your dismissive attitude and snide remarks I shall not forget . read more

Zhana and her team were instrumental in helping us reach a resolution for an ongoing mold issue in our apartment. For several years, our building management refused to properly address poor conditions in our apartment that led to recurring mold growth on the walls and our possessions. Thanks to the Metis team, we reached a reasonable settlement. Moreover, as a positive side effect, our building management finally addressed some moisture/humidity issues. Throughout the entire process, the Metis team was professional, competent, and communicative. We highly recommend them! read more

they are not helpful I called last week and they took forever , I was looking for a lawyer and I should of know from the other reviews but they weren't able to help me because they don't help tenant no more. read more

This law group was not able to help me with my case however I did want to say how kind they were and guided me in the right direction, they took there time out to explain everything where and who to call! Great people who value customer needs ! read more

Zhana and Arpa and the rest of the Metis Law Group team were so good at walking me through every part of what I knew was going to be a stressful, lengthy, and hard-to-understand process. I had many questions during the time we worked together and they were always ready to talk me through or, once or twice, calm me down. Whether it was over zoom, on the phone, or by email, they were responsive and informative. As we neared the settlement, I felt as if we were in a collaborative place--which I deeply appreciated. I am very thankful for what they did FOR me after what was done TO me. It felt like justice. And isn't that the point? read more

I highly recommend Metis Law Group. From my first initial question regarding my lease to the final outcome, I was impressed by their professionalism, expertise, and dedication. Zhana and Arpa and their team were incredibly responsive, always keeping me informed and addressing my concerns with patience and clarity. They went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for my case, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work and support. They were incredibly compassionate and understanding throughout the entire process even when I experienced the loss of my beloved pet due to the complications of living in a compromised apartment. I highly recommend Metis Law Group when dealing with complicated landlords/ tenant issues because their team is incredibly responsive and went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for my case, and I am extremely grateful for their hard work and support. read more

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Metis Law Group! I had an incident earlier this year and needed legal advice and decided to call Metis. Right away I knew that Arpa, Zhana and their team are exactly who I want in my corner! They were detailed and empathetic to my situation but vigilant in finding a resolution. The entire process was a breeze on my end and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks a million Métis Law Group!!! read more

They are Very efficient, with a helpful staff with great knowledge and resources at their disposal. Making accommodations and putting you their client first! Highly recommend!! read more

A very professional team at Metis. Sandra, who oversees intakes, has been extremely compassionate and caring. I highly advise reaching out to them and going through the process of intake, even if you are reluctant to do so. It is evident to us that this firm deserves praise. Happy to be referred to them! read more

UPDATE: Zhana reached out via a phone call to apologize for my experience thus far and I really appreciate that, she explained why the automated email was sent and after explaining the pros and cons of retaining them, asked me if I did want their representation still, I do. So, for now, I'm updating the review to 3 stars (can't seem to delete it) until the resolution of this case. It's nice to see this professionalism, and despite my one-star review, we were able to mend things and work together again. [Original review] I reached out to them via Yelp based on their review. They are quite non responsive on Yelp messaging. After getting in touch with them over the phone, we began the work via email and phone. On the phone, they started advising me on the next steps. I did everything she advised, I drove to city hall multiple times, and I pulled all the permits on the property, I even scheduled an inspector. I was the one to meet with the city inspector and walked him through the property. The allegations of an unpermitted dwelling unit were indeed true, and I emailed all the evidence to them - yet with all this evidence, Metis Law Group decided to just pull the plug suddenly inthe middle of this and not even via a phone call, just an email saying they can no longer follow through until the end, without giving any reason! Did the property owners pay them off? I did so much leg work for them to make their job easier, and after having done all that, they just bailed out on me, not professional or dependable at all! What a bad experience. Now, I may have property owners retaliating without having legal representation. read more

These guys are absolutely the best. There is a reason why they have so many five star reviews. Zhana went above and beyond in getting my case worked through to a positive resolution. They know and have a lot of experience with tenant landlord law and case situations. Their pricing is reasonable and they will do everything to help your case have the best chance possible. Can't recommend highly enough. A++++ read more

I worked with the staff and Arpa to complete a trademark registration and eventually a renewal. Over the last 5 years I have been impressed and thankful for the efficiency, professionalism and integrity of all interactions with everyone. The quality of expertise, the proficiency and throughnes of all correspondence has been exceptional. For the legal fees paid, the efforts were well worth the investment. It is impressive to interface with true professionals. Sincerely, Gus Fincel, Executive Director, 501c3 Non-profit corporation. read more

Metis Law group is awesome. There were three Law Firms who were interested in my case. After talking to Zhana, I felt confident choosing Metis Law. Zhana is well-versed in tenant law. She gave me suggestions and kept me informed of my options. The Metis Law Team are organized and their rates are fair. I recommend Metis Law. They are a small but mighty. read more

Was referred to this firm through someone in my Facebook group. The process took a while because it landed in the middle of Covid but they were always in contact with me letting me know what the next steps were. I was able to get a decent settlement and chiropractic care covered. Luckily my accident wasn't too major but I'm grateful that I got anything at all. I will definitely be working with them and referring them to friends. Thank you ladies for being so professional and outstanding! read more

Id definitely recommend this law firm. I had my doubts in the beginning as there was not a lot of communication as I've had with some other attorneys i have worked with, but that ended up not being the case. These girls are awesome and definitely committed to what they do. If you are looking for an attorney who will take their time in explaining the process and the legal terms with patience, they are definitely a go to. I would gladly use them again, but hopefully i wont have to. :):) Thanks again Metis! read more

I cannot say enough about the professionalism and thorough representation that Zhana at Metis Law Group provided my husband and I during a stressful Buy Out/ No fault eviction process that we were facing after living at our previous residence for almost 10 years. Zhana and Natalie were very communicative and followed up with us every step of the way. If you want to work with the best, Zhana Nazarian and Metis Law Group is the way to go. read more

The Metis Law Group has the best tenant/landlord attorneys in the industry. This process was very new to me as this was the first time pursuing legal action towards my old landlord. Their team went above and beyond explaining to me the legal process, timeline, and what to expect for my case. They were able to get us a settlement in pre-litigation, which goes to show how well they are able to negotiate and stand their ground in the best interest of the client. I strongly recommend Metis! Definitely going to be referring them to all my family and friends. They're a lovely team! read more

Requested them for an eviction, but wouldn't take my case. False advertising if you ask me. The only reason I called them up was due to their ratings, but in this case ONLY, the ratings were a complete failure! read more

This is the go to place if you need a lawyer Zhana was absolutely the best. She was very informative regarding my case she has no problems explaining to you what you don't understand. Works very hard for you and her office staff are always so very nice and helpful. I recommend that you call them for any legal advice and they are more than happy to help. read more

I chose Metis Law after careful research when I was in need of an attorney. Zhana and Arpa took the time to listen to my concerns, and to give me valuable options in order to pursue and eventually solve my case. For me the BEST part was having a team who represents me so I can focus on other things in life. I would highly recommend Metis Law services. read more

I could not recommend Arpa, Zhana, and the rest of the team more. I hired Metis Law Group for my personal injury case. They were responsive, offered me the right guidance for my required treatment, and handled everything from getting my car fixed to settlement. Overall, they went above and beyond to fight for me. I highly recommend Arpa and Zhana at Metis Law Group. read more

We totally recommend Metis Law group. The ladies are very knowledgable, responsible, proffesional and understanding. They will fight for your case and will be honest with what can and cant be done. It was a pleasure working with them and having success with them in our case. Once again thabk you so much for helping us . read more

If you want to actually speak to an attorney, this is not your firm to contact. After going through the intake process, my information was misconstrued and not accurately portrayed to the attorneys. The representative responsible for taking information, was unable to communicate in an adult manner. She did not listen and had a bad attitude. read more

I don't recommend this Law Group. I reached out to them early this morning, I got a computerized reply asking for more info, so I immediately sent them the details, after that all I heard was " crickets!", while other Law firms I'd contacted replied and answered my questions in a timely matter. I give this Law firm zero starts for awful customer service!! read more

Finding the right lawyer/attorney to consult with or even represent for you is always a difficult process on top of the issues you already have in potentially suing someone. I was referred to Zhana and I honestly have never felt more relieved and at ease after speaking with her. Metis Law Group is a trustworthy firm and I couldn't be more happy to have finally found a lawyer I can put my full confidence in. Thank you, Zhana and your team! read more

I wanted to thank the Metis Law Group team for all the hard work that went into my car accident case. It is much appreciated especially in these difficult times. My family and I thank you. Metis Law Group is definitely on my "I need a lawer asap!"   Much appreciated,    Raymond Padilla read more

Nobody wants to deal with lawyers (I know I didn't), and this was a first for me, but I don't think I could have done any better. I initially had a dispute with the property management company managing my place of residence. Zhana gave me lots of her time, before it was clear that they would be getting any money from me or my case, and gave me valuable advice that was in my best interest, and ensured that I was able to remain living in the unit (even though they might have been able to make more money by having me hire them to fight an eviction instead). When the property eventually sold, there were multiple issues with the new owners, and I was able to work with Zhana and Arpa again to fight for my rights and reach a very good settlement. In short, if you need a lawyer, give Metis Law Group a call. They'll give it to you straight, and treat you right. I hope I won't need to, but I'd call them again in a heartbeat. read more

Arpa & Zhana are attentive, thoughtful, talented and outstanding lawyers that you shouldn't hesitate to contact and work with on your case. They are kind, reliable, direct and thorough. They shielded us from so much unnecessary stress and frustration - and they got us an even better outcome than we expected. Finding a lawyer was not easy. Many didn't even take the time to review the facts of the case before proposing a strategy, few had the patience to answer basic questions, and we wasted a lot of time trying to work out a terrible situation on our own. Metis Law Firm was different. We gave them all our evidence up front and could tell they'd reviewed it thoroughly at our initial consultation. After having spent months battling a miserable situation, once we engaged them we could return to our lives and focus on what mattered. We could trust they were handling the situation and always felt in good hands. Metis Law Firm delivered results along with peace of mind and we highly recommend you work with them. read more

This is my first experience with a law firm and it was stress free. They took care of everything all I had to do was provided the needed materials. They argued until they received a fair price for my treatments. My settlement was better than they had stated. They have my trust and I will highly recommend their services. read more

Amazing service, great direction, communication, and negotiation. They got me a great settlement, and negotiated with the parties in between to get me the best value. The process was smooth, walked me though the entire steps, and got me back to being whole after my accident. read more

I am at a loss of words for what an efficient, effective, and personable law office this is. Speaking with broad generalizations, my experience with lawyers up until now has been rather dismissive and objectionable. However, I think I've been proven wrong with my experience(s) with the attorneys at Metis, especially Zhana. I think what's different about this firm is that you're not just establishing an attorney-client partnership -- rather, you're really establishing a professional relationship with a very transparent, intelligent, but aggressive individual. I felt protected, but also a strong sense of trust towards them. Need I not say more: I was/am very satisfied with my outcome and am eager to contact them again with any and all legal needs. I highly recommend them. read more

I was so pleased to work with Metis Law Group, specifically with Zhana Aivazi, after being involved in a car accident. She was extremely knowledgeable, transparent, and honest during the entire process. Zhana kept me personally informed with every detail and is a true professional in her field! I highly recommend them, you will be in great hands guaranteed. read more

Arpa and Zhana did an amazing job handling inhabitability in my apartment due to the mold, asbestos and lead, theft and misconduct of my landlord. While other lawyers declined my case, they have gladly took it and gave me hope. After emailing them all my precise records and proofs they wrote a strong case and filed it with a court. It took us two years to reach mediation, but I let them do their job as I had a complete trust in their work. During mediation the exhibit their professionalism and helped me get a proper compensation for the gross negligence of my landlord. They shielded me from unnecessary stress and throughout the process protected my interest. I strongly recommend them. Thank you, ladies for all that you have done for me. read more
