I hired Robin as a process server in October 2023. When we first spoke, she was friendly and…read moreprofessional. This quickly changed in the middle of the job. She was unresponsive to my communication. A perfect example of this was when she agreed to serve my defendants by a specific day. I paid her. She then followed up with a message stating she was taking a long weekend to spend with her family. Family time is important indeed and so are business transactions that you agreed to complete by a specific time. My total cost to her was over $900 for less than crappy process service. She did not furnish me with a single proof of service. Additionally, I am now finding out from my defendants that the service was invalid and fraudulent. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY if you expect ethical practices, legal practices, and results. Everything I am saying in this review is completely verifiable. If anyone is considering hiring Robin, reach out to me first. I will provide you copies of my entire email thread with her. Lastly, it's amazing to me how I have contacted Robin on multiple occasions since getting less than crappy service. She ignored every one of my messages UNTIL I posted this review. Ha! Confirming her unprofessionalism. BUYER BEWARE!

I had a very disappointing experience with this firm and ultimately had to seek representation…read moreelsewhere. I initially contacted the office regarding an eviction matter. Over the course of more than a month, I had to follow up multiple times after being told someone would get back to me and receiving no response. One of my primary questions involved how to properly calculate the amount of rent owed after a rent increase. I specifically asked whether the increased amount could be included or whether I needed to use the amount stated in the existing lease. A staff member told me she did not know and that an attorney would get back to me. No one did, and I had to follow up again. I was also asked by staff to provide banking information, including an account number, without a clear explanation of why it was needed. When I asked for clarification, I made it clear that I was happy to provide whatever information the firm required--I simply wanted to understand what was being requested and why. Additionally the email provided incorrect dates and lacked professionalism. Unfortunately, my interactions with the associate attorney, Shekhar, were even more concerning. I found him confrontational, dismissive, and difficult to communicate with. When he told me the individual units at the property needed to be physically marked, I immediately agreed to do so. Because each unit has two entrances, I tried to ask which door should be marked to make service most effective. Rather than allowing me to fully explain the question, I felt repeatedly interrupted and the call was ultimately ended abruptly. I have managed rental property for approximately 15 years but have fortunately never had to complete an eviction, which is precisely why I hired an attorney. I expected to be able to ask questions about a legal process that was new to me without being made to feel that asking those questions was an inconvenience. I also worked as a civil litigation paralegal for nearly 20 years, so I have extensive experience interacting with attorneys and law firms. This was not the level of professionalism or client communication I am accustomed to. After my call with Shekhar I immediately contacted East Bay Rental Housing for referrals to another attorney because I was so uncomfortable with how my matter was being handled and how he rude he was. I had previously spoken with Mr. Horwitz and found him courteous and informative, so I was particularly disappointed by this experience with his staff and associate attorney. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this firm.

I've dealt with this law firm twice in three years. The same intake specialist questioned me both…read moretimes over the phone, sometimes asking me in the interview what I thought were irrelevant questions while also conveying the impression of an authoritarian who would reject me instantly if I did not answer her questions with the requisite politeness and subservience she demanded since she balked palpably when I questioned her about the appropriateness of some of her questions. Based on her responses to my questions and the clinical way in which she asked her questions, I felt this intake specialist was going to reject my plea for help -- before the law firm had made any final determination. And on both occasions, it turned out that my intuition proved correct. On my second call to this law firm last month, the intake specialist asked in a decisively clinical and less-than-friendly manner, "What makes you call us back a second time after you had already been rejected by our firm the first time? Has anything significantly changed?" This same intake specialist, on both occasions, when it was decided the law firm would not take up my case and would not provide me with legal assistance, emailed me my rejection but gave me no reason whatsoever why my petition or inquiry was rejected. None, on either occasion. On both of my inquiries seeking legal help, I was seeking legal defense as a tenant from chronic noise nuisance by an upstairs neighbor my landlord enabled as a noise-maker and refused to warn. On both occasions, the one question the intake specialist asked me and that I had deemed totally irrelevant was: do I want to move out of my apartment? What had my desire (or no) to continue to live in my apartment have to do with seeking justice for my right to quiet enjoyment or the harassment and nuisance as a tenant I was receiving from my landlord? Without, as I've already stated, the law firm once ever stating its real reason for its decline to help me, it later became clear to me that this law firm, which pretends to represent tenants, only wants to help tenants who are willing to move out of their apartment since the firm is able to make a decent profit thereby and only with this particular strategy in mind. It judges that it cannot make money simply by doing the right thing, defending a tenant's legal right to quiet enjoyment of one's rented abode. This firm isn't interested in justice or rights for the tenant. It is interested only in its means of making a profit.

Leticia Padilla and Nicole Nichols of Express Evictions were my contacts during the whole process.

In Orange County, i was told the courts are very tenant oriented and would probably lose, because Leticia and Nichol knew exactly how to proceed with paperwork, court filings, notices, and service, my case prevailed. I would recommend Express Evictions to any and all landlords for any property in California. Prices are reasonable and the results will save you time, money and headaches.

Continuing from first review…read more.. Robert A. Miller made me subpoena a former roommate in order to get her to be a witness. This was unnecessary as her email to me was sufficient. Additionally, there are many instances where Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg revealed that they did not examine all of the evidence that I provided. Robert A. Miller kept stressing issues of my pet cat's bodily functions. There was not a single complaint (no email or text, but only something the landlord wanted to add to her retaliatory eviction) of cat urine smell from my two roommates and their partners. I stated that numerous friends of mine have visited and can be witnesses to support that cat urine smell was never an issue. Robert A. Miller responded that the plaintiff Juliet Welch would then call on the other four downstairs tenants as witnesses of cat urine smell. How can downstairs tenants witness what happens in my upstairs apartment when the units are separate and the downstairs tenants and upstairs tenants are not friends and therefore the downstairs tenants are never invited inside the upstairs unit. Moreover, the downstairs tenants have a senior dog and a new puppy, both of whom require puppy pads and potty training. The downstairs tenants also dogsit. There are multiple animals at the 61 Franciscan Way address. A week before my conference court date, Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg required an additional $18,000 in order to represent me, essentially abandoning me. At which point, I asked them to stop work. My new counsel reached a settlement of my staying until the end of December (as opposed to October) and $9000 in new money. The attorney fee agreement clearly states that the $5,000 (the one where I gave $10,000) would ensure the case goes to a jury trial. This is a breach of contract, fiduciary duty, and fraud. Neither Robert A. Miller nor David M. Sternberg went over the retainer fee agreement with me. As a matter of fact, David M. Sternberg did not even sign the retainer fee agreement until August 14th, 2019 after receiving the additional $5,000 (where I gave $10,000). I filed a Ca State Bar Mandatory fee dispute in Feb. 2022. Robert A. Miller answered to serve David M. Sternberg who did not agree to be served until November 2022. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg ignored the CA State Bar Mandatory fee dispute so that the statute of limitations would expire. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg responded after I filed small claims because the CA State Bar Dispute was not going anywhere. I called everyday and left messages and CA State Bar only responded once when I received a call back that they will not discipline attorneys for not answering. At the small claims court date, David M. Sternberg twisted the fee dispute to become legal malpractice to claim a one year statute of limitation. I never used the language of legal malpractice in any of my communication with Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg set themselves up nicely so that they can claim that any court proceeding waives my rights to pursue a fee dispute with Ca State Bar. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg are unscrupulous lawyers who are greedy and take advantage of vulnerable clients.

I reached out to the Law offices of Robert Miller to see what steps I could take and what to do next since my requests to the landlord are going unanswered. Mr. Miller called me back within 24hrs of me reaching out and was very thorough in explaining what steps I should take before reaching the point of needing to officially engage legal counsel. Legal fees can add up quickly and I appreciated him pointing me in the right direction during our phone consultation. I intend on following his guidance and because of his willingness to help without my retaining him, when the time comes to engage counsel with this matter, I will absolutely be using his services. Thank you Robert!
