I was withheld from my inheritance from a family member for eight years. To be fair, six of those were me waiting for that person to do the right thing. When that didn't happen I turned to Bob Hooy for help. I wanted a "junk yard dog" attorney that would go in there and demand my rights because I was tired of waiting. Bob isn't like that. He listens to people talk. He makes agreements. He is the voice of reason always especially when the other side is being totally unreasonable, as in my case. He was also very instrumental in calming me down so much that I really didn't think about my case in my day to day. Bob had it covered. I let Bob do the listening. Bob let the other side talk so much that they hung themselves with the judge. Case closed. 1.2 million. There was a lot at risk. Maybe you're facing a similar situation? Maybe you think you've waited to long. Or you think the other side has too much money and will drain you financially. Here is my advice. It doesn't cost anything to just pick up the phone and talk to Bob now. Like me, You'll be glad you did.

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 am having a difficult time getting my landlord to complete payment of relocation expenses as…read moreagreed upon. 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!

But, this practice has generated a lot of goodwill in case we have future needs in the areas they specialize in (or come across logical referral opportunities).

If you need a 3rd rate lawyer then Kimball, Tirey & St John is your go to law firm. Useless,…read moreinexperienced, lawyers who just want to make a quick dollar at the expense of the public. Many corrupt corporations retain these guys to execute unlawful legal conduct concerning landlords and tenants. I've had 2 incidents with these culprits and to sum it up, they are the d is disorganized fraud. I felt as if I was dealing with car salesman, not attorneys. Their first attempt at a frame-up against me failed ( I won). The second attempt is still ongoing so i will continue to update this post to keep yal informed ! If you really need legal assistance or advise I would suggest reaching out to a smaller firm. If you are looking for lawyers to assist you with breaking the law then KTS is your man or woman! Don't believe me just Google KTS , fraud, veterans, and CA . Our current VP Harris sued KTS when she was the Attorney General for California. She prosecuted KTS for mistreating ( defrauding & evicting over 100 veterans) our Veterans! No ethics, no morals, just greed! KTS mistreated American veterans! That's totally unacceptable and Un- American. I hope this review guides your decision regarding legal services.

All I needed was to wait to file my case for another 2 months. From there, I opted to cancel his service and I only got partial of my payment. He and his team (Megan) lacks communication. It takes weeks for either one of them to get back to you. Megan had all my paperwork all wrong. More than half of my claims were missing for the filing and she says "I didn't look through all of them." What am I paying you for?!? Would NOT recommend their service.
