My Mom swore by Len Tillem. He assured her that her wishes as spelled out in her trust and will…read morewould be followed. Then after she died they told us beneficiaries that my sister, the trustee's, wishes and direction was what mattered. Now we have to go through probate because of their dishonesty and violating my mother's trust. They said a court would NOT enforce the trust. But all their radio advertising says otherwise. Find an attorney you can trust. But not these jokers.

I Met Steve Brady around 1984 through a friend when I was involved in the car accident…read more Steve took the best care of me in my caseI made sure that I was comfortable and understood the process. He would always check on me making sure the medical care that I was getting is working for me and that I'm satisfied and happy with the doctor. After I was finished my treatment and was healed We went over my case once agun and he wanted to make sure I understand everything. Steve is not only an amazing attorney but also a good friend. I've kept in touch with him throughout the years, and had to use him a couple other times unfortunately due to another accident when I was rear ended. Thank you Steven Brady for your help, Expertise and friendship throughout the past 35 years. Glenn

This man amended my 92 year old father's 30 year trust a little over one month before he died…read more Under duress from his girlfriend who threaten my father with being kicked out of her house if he did not change the trust. Mr Rowland said that he asked my father if he was under duress and my father said no. Hmmmm would someone under duress say yes. Mr Woodland did not do his due diligence in finding out if this change was my father's choice or if he was being pressured by someone. I would never trust this man, he is lazy and doesn't ask the necessary questions to determine if someone is making a decision under duress. There are plenty of lawyers in Marin go somewhere else

We called Len about a contract to handle a real estate issue within our household. He talked to my…read morepartner for about 20 minutes. And after hearing her out and having all of his questions answered, he said this was something he could do and that it would require 3 hours of his time at $700 per hour. Not too bad - we agreed. So we met with him to share more of the details. It was clear he hadn't listened well, but we thought we talked through the issues and our needs. One new point came up that he said he would need to research. At the conclusion, he said this was not so straight forward but that he could do it in 4-5 hours, including the one we just spent. Again we agreed. Len committed to send a legal services agreement and a waiver for representing both sides of our contract. He never sent either. The day we were expecting a draft he sent a note saying he was tied up in court and would be in touch the next day. Okay, that happens. But no word the next day. Three days later we pinged him looking for a draft. He replied in a note with more typos than new pieces of information. It concluded with "This transaction is far beyond my usual simple TIC agreements..." and names of two other attorneys (one of whom also named Rifkind) that might better be able to help. He had fired us as clients. But wait... there's more. He had the temerity to send us a bill for the "work done", including for the intro call (typically on the attorney's dime) and the time required to write us the brush off note. We held our noses and paid the bill. I considered writing a review like this but thought better of it. Today Len sent a collection notice for the bill, two weeks after our check for payment in full cleared our bank. So Len, with all the information he wanted, failed to figure out that he couldn't or wouldn't help us, agreed to the work, wasted three weeks in our time sensitive process, delivered none of what he promised, charged us egregiously, and now harassed us without cause. I wish we had read Janice M.'s review before calling Len. It's in the "not recommended by yelp" section but is exactly our experience.

Len Rifkind is a highly skilled and seasoned attorney. But what really sets him apart is his…read moreintegrity and professionalism. Just over 2 years ago, we were fortunate enough to retain him as plaintiffs counsel based on a strong recommendation. We could not be happier with our decision! Len deftly navigated numerous challenges, obstacles, and delay tactics set out by the defendants, always seeking to find the shortest path to resolving the case. We always felt that Len really cared about the case, put our interests before his own and tried to limit costs whenever possible. We also appreciated that he set realistic expectations and timelines, and provided helpful guidance throughout the case. Through a successful mediation, the defendants ultimately agreed to fix the problem and compensate us for our damages. Should we require a lawyer in the future, our first call will be to Len!

We have employed Richard Brouillet's services on several occasions( Estate Planning as well as a…read morecouple of personal matters), and not only have we found him to be extremely competent and knowledgeable but a true pleasure to work with. We were very impressed each time we met with him with the amount of work he had done in advance of our meeting. He was always very prepared and ready to offer suggested courses of action. All this with the utmost integrity. For the amount of time and work that Richard devoted to our issues we felt his bill was very reasonable. We will certainly use him again if needed.

She remained committed during the final court appearances and was flexible with a payment plan, which made it possible for me to continue.

The one thing that was more difficult and painful than divorcing my husband was dealing with Sandra. We spent countless hours and thousands of dollars on details that were irrelevant and never addressed.

By the way, Sandra is involved in charity work most likely to make up for her shitty personality. Run for your life! LC
