I was contacted immediately, and I could feel her urgency to help me reach the right person in her firm. She helped me in a way that made me feel I was in the right hands. She was very kind and caring. I then spoke to Anthony, who gathered all of my information. He was very professional and patient. I was called back in a couple of days and had an appointment to meet with Randall Strauss. I was amazed. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, humorous, and I could tell that he genuinely wanted to help me in the best way he knew how. I feel confident that I was in the right hands to protect me. My last encounter was with Diane Rames. She is the office manager at the firm. I had such a good time speaking with her and sharing common experiences. She was polite, funny, and a joy to meet. Thank you, everyone, for a warm and memorable experience.

Review of Tracy Lemmon -- Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution…read moreI was terminated by a major technology company while on protected medical leave, with active internal complaints and external agency filings pending. The company had locked me out of all systems within hours of my filing complaints, and opposing counsel was running out the clock while offering nothing substantive. I needed someone who could force a real conversation. Tracy did that. She engaged opposing counsel directly and didn't let mischaracterizations stand -- she quoted their own words back to them in writing and held the line. When the other side tried to reframe the narrative, Tracy kept the record clean and the pressure consistent. She coordinated strategy across multiple state and federal agencies simultaneously, which created the kind of leverage that actually moves a large employer off its default position of silence. The monetary result was strong -- meaningfully above what I expected going in, and well beyond the company's initial posture. But Tracy didn't stop at the headline number. She optimized the tax structure of the settlement in a way that materially increased what I actually took home, secured employment record protections that matter for future background checks, and ensured that every internal investigation was formally closed. Those details compound long after the check clears, and she understood that from the start. She's also genuinely collaborative. She kept me copied on everything, ran drafts past me before sending, and respected the documentation I brought to the table rather than sidelining it. If you show up organized and prepared, she'll put your evidence to work. I'd strongly recommend Tracy for anyone facing a California employment dispute against a well-resourced employer. She got me to a pre-litigation resolution that I didn't think was possible when I first engaged her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Since then, I've worked with more than a dozen immigration attorneys across multiple visa categories and stages. I've seen the full spectrum. Suhi stands alone. She didn't just process paperwork. She changed the trajectory of my case -- and as a result, my life. At critical moments, she thought strategically, not mechanically. She saw angles others missed. She moved decisively when it mattered. Immigration law isn't abstract. It determines where you live, what you build, and who you become. The stakes are singular and enormous. Very few professionals operate at that level of consequence with that level of competence. Suhi does. If you're choosing an immigration attorney, stop searching.

I rarely write reviews anymore and almost never write bad reviews at all…read more The background -- I am an enterprise salesperson working in a high tech industry. I had an issue where my company was withholding a large sum of commission, probably somewhere in the ballpark of ~$200k. When I reached out to Minnis & Smallets, I received a prompt response to my inquiry that I was not a client they wished to represent -- was not even granted a brief call with an actual attorney to explain my situation. They literally have an entire page on their website (too wordy btw) devoted to NON-PAYMENT OF COMMISSIONS. So, I'm very curious as to what level of compensation issue cases they are handling if they have the privilege to turn down a probable six-figure judgment in my/their favor...? Oh, and the woman I spoke to was very inarticulate as to why the representation was denied, which was also odd. Bad experience and am happy to go elsewhere.

I prefer to call him Robert because I respect him so much even though he prefers to go by Bob. A…read moretrue Oracle, gentleman and human being, who will push aside his personal life to make sure your urgent family situation (missing children!) is addressed -- even on Christmas Day. My wife physically assaulted me while on a court-ordered a EPO and then abducted my children the week before Christmas for a month. Bob spent four hours during Christmas Day with me laying out everything I would need to know and he was later proved to be 100% accurate on every single word that came out of his mouth. Bob is truly a nice guy. I don't think he'll ever retire because he loves what he does and he provides such a strong value to the local families who urgently need his expertise navigating the challenging family court situation often for the first time. I tried to find an attorney several days before Christmas and the entire industry was out of service until the second week of January. I believe my wife took my children that week specifically to make it very challenging for me, but Bob stepped up and saved the day in a huge way. I could ramble on for hours about how Bob and Carolyn are consummate professionals, and how they changed my perspective on family lawyers. Bob and Carolyn secured 50% parental access for me within three weeks. The opposing firm told my wife to run away with our kids after removing them from the home and was using every tactic in the book, but Bob played hardball in the most professional way during the most important time in my entire life. He stepped up like an athlete during the Olympics and I forever will love Bob.

I'm also very grateful to Bob for helping me navigate through a very challenging time in my marriage. He is extraordinarily responsive and knowledgeable and I recommend him and Carolyn to anyone contemplating a divorce or other family law matter.
