Catalina was amazing - professional, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly generous with her time…read more We reached out to her regarding the purchase of a property, and she provided valuable insights into several issues we were already concerned about. Her guidance helped us better understand the risks involved and gave us the confidence to make a more informed decision. Throughout the process, Catalina was responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely focused on helping us rather than simply closing a transaction. We truly appreciated her honesty and expertise. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. I would not hesitate to work with Catalina again in the future and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy real estate attorney.

I've had the pleasure of working with Sharon Pratt on a couple of legal issues. Sharon is…read moreprofessional and thorough. She'll see your legal issues through with consideration and detailed knowledge. I've worked on HOA issues with Sharon and she carefully researches every problem from every angle. I'm equally impressed with Sharon's calm but stern demeanor. She knows HOA law!

Sharon is a great choice if you're looking for residential or HOA expertise. I highly recommend Sharon Pratt! Kay Holcomb The Holcomb Corporation

When I needed legal counsel, I turned to Nan Bucknell who had already given me a strong referral in…read moreanother matter. Nan recommended Gordon Finwall for my case stating he is very efficient and practical. That certainly turned out to be the case. In addition to being very knowledgeable, Gordon also advised on the best strategy in order to gain the leverage we needed to win our case. I was bringing a breach of contract civil suit against another party. Gordon advised on both the risks and challenges we faced as well as the opportunity to win. There was never any doubt in my mind about Gordon's integrity, honesty and knowledge. I always felt like I was in good hands and receiving quality advice. At the same time, I always felt Gordon was very efficient and practical, just as Nan said. Communication was always fast and effective. I never felt like there was any wasted effort here, instead everything was transparent, honest and efficient. In other words, I felt I was getting a lot for my money ... and I was very thankful for that. Needless to say, under Gordon's guidance, we found the leverage we needed for the defendant to capitulate. As such, I was able to force a leveraged agreement whereby I received 95% of BOTH the judgment I was seeking as well as recovery of attorney fees. Needless to say, I was extremely happy with the outcome ... and the service I received. I would recommend Gordon to anyone needing similar services. You won't have to worry about his trustworthiness, integrity or knowledge ... and you'll feel like you're always in good hands.

I do not normally write reviews, but I had to this time. Mr. Gordon J. Finwall handled my case for…read moreover 4 years. I could not be more grateful for the outcome. From the very beginning, he was professional, dedicated, and transparent. We won every settlement along the way, and in the end, the judge ruled in our favor for the full amount we sued for. What stood out even more was Mr. Finwall's integrity. Despite the long and complex case, the legal fees were extremely reasonable. It is rare to find a lawyer who is not only skilled but also fair and truly invested in their client's success. If you're looking for someone who will fight for you, Mr Finwall is the one. Guaranteed, you can hire him without a single regret.

I retained Mike Chappars to represent me in an employment-related case. Early in the process, my…read morecase successfully survived a demurrer, which allowed it to move forward and indicated it had legal merit. However, during a critical stage of the case, my attorney withdrew from representation before a motion for summary judgment was filed by the opposing side. This left me without legal counsel at a pivotal moment and significantly impacted my ability to continue pursuing the case at the same level. Because of this, I ultimately had to navigate the situation on my own and made the decision to settle without representation. In my experience, the timing of the withdrawal created a serious disadvantage. I would strongly advise anyone considering legal representation to ask clear questions upfront about long-term case commitment, communication, and what protections are in place if an attorney steps away before the case is resolved.

Reza was our listing agent for a home in the Livermore area, and he was absolutely fantastic to…read morework with. He was patient and kind as well, incredibly professional. We had met a few agents who worked the area prior to him, and glad we chose him to list our home. His fees were reasonable, and his follow-through communications were a huge improvement from other agents we had met with. He provided us with a better-than-full-service experience that we are pretty sure other agents would not have provided. He held multiple open houses and followed through as we were going back and forth between our home in another state and the Bay Area. He took care of all of the closing topics and items that needed to be done while we were away, allowing us not to have to spend too much time, knowing the home was being taken care of. He held open houses and helped with closing remotely. If you are looking for an honest, real estate agent that actually cares about taking care of your needs, definitely consider Reza! Thank you, Reza, for all of your help and support!

We met Reza at an open house in a neighborhood we loved, long before we were actually ready to buy…read more Even though we told him we were early in the process, he still spent the next year guiding us with zero pressure and endless patience. He helped us understand the market, walked us through countless open houses, and supported us through several non-standard listings and multiple offers. What stood out most was Reza's calm, accommodating, and genuinely open-minded approach. He always made time for us, responded incredibly quickly whenever we were ready to move on a house, and made a complicated process feel manageable. When we finally found the one we loved, Reza helped us negotiate a price that worked perfectly for us. Thanks to him, we closed smoothly and moved in shortly afterward. If you're looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about helping you find the right home (not just any home) Reza is the person you want in your corner. We're grateful for everything he did for us, and we couldn't recommend him more highly.

Never did I ask for a consult , I wanted to know what services they provided. He hung up on me and did not give me a chance to speak. I called back to tell him how rude he was and he ignored my call. I would not even give this man chance even if he could help. Arrogant jerk! Save your money. I called two other places and they referred me to another attorney who could possible help since they do not offer representation for small claims appeals. They at least listened past my initial question. Advice go somewhere else.

He got in trouble with some delusional man that could even pay his property tax. He did tell me if you have a home in Los Gatos to completely forget about it.

I turned to Pauline Reimer and Janice Earle after a bad experience with a previous lawyer that a…read morefriend had recommended. My divorce had dragged on for 9 years, and I didn't know if they would be willing to take on the mess that had built up over the years along with a new sleazy lawyer my ex had hired. Pauline didn't waste any time digging through multiple layers of documents trying to right the wrongs that had occurred over the years and build a case that would allow me to lead a normal lifestyle and stay close to my family when all was said and done. One of Pauline's strengths is that she has been practicing law here for years, and she knows most of the judges. They also know her, but more importantly, they like and respect her. This is especially important in family law. I got some very good advice from a judge that knew Pauline and recognized my ex had hired a bully. Pauline worked with me to separate my emotions from facts that a judge would take into consideration. There were no surprises on my side when we would go to court. She prepared me with what most likely would happen, and she was always right. She was steadfast in what she wanted to accomplish and her tactics worked. I am one hundred percent certain I would not be living a similar life to what I had before my divorce if it had not been for Pauline. I am still located close to all my friends and family, and most importantly, I have a nest egg that I can pass on to my kids. I have once again hired Earle and Reimer to set up my living trust. I have no regrets hiring Earle and Reimer, and I am forever grateful to Pauline for not giving up! I highly recommend Earle and Reimer!
