James was an ultimate professional, he even found an error in the legal description of our latest deed recorded in 2003 by comparing it with our initial purchase deed from 1998 and our neighbor's deeds. He divided the whole process into different stages and made a complicated process relatively easy. At first, he asked a lot of questions to collect personal data and gauge what exactly we need for our plan. Then he gave us some specific homework and encouraged us to ask more questions. At the final stage, he gave us a big beautiful binder of estate plans with a cover letter about some further instructions to avoid any problems in the future. Over all, he was a delight to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

My wife and I recently completed our estate plan with Nerisha and the experience exceeded every…read moreexpectation. As a working couple with two young daughters, we had been putting this off for years -- partly out of complexity and partly not knowing where to start. Nerisha made the entire process feel manageable, thoughtful, and thorough. She prepared a comprehensive estate plan including a revocable living trust, wills, durable powers of attorney, and advance health care directives for both of us. What stood out was how carefully she tailored everything to our specific situation -- we have assets across multiple financial institutions, employer stock plans, retirement accounts, and a home with a mortgage, and she addressed every piece with clear, practical guidance. Nerisha didn't just hand us documents -- she provided a detailed cover letter explaining exactly what each document does, how to fund the trust, what beneficiary designations to update, and the precise wording to use at each financial institution. Months later, when we were actually executing on all those steps, that guidance proved invaluable. When we ran into a specific technical limitation on a beneficiary field at one of our brokerages, she responded the same day with exactly the right wording -- no back and forth, no ambiguity. Her notary work was flawless, documents were delivered with scanned digital copies, and her office was responsive every single time we reached out. The peace of mind we now have -- knowing our family is protected no matter what happens -- is something we cannot put a price on. If you are a family with complex finances or simply someone who has been putting off estate planning, I cannot recommend Nerisha highly enough. She is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her clients. -- Ninad K., San Ramon, CA

This review is both a huge commendation along with a heartfelt thanks to Mr Gupta. After I…read moresubmitted an inquiry to his office through yelp, a short time later, he phoned me. Mr. Gupta spoke to me at length about my quandary and conundrum on how to proceed with a breach of contract situation. He never rushed, and provided a wealth of information to me as far as how I should proceed. He never once tried to convince me that I needed a legal representation to the tune of potentially thousands of dollars, he just explained to me exactly what I needed to do. Mr. Gupta is the antithesis of what we consider normal "shark" lawyers who most often are out to make a quick buck. I am beyond grateful for his time, knowledge, and generosity in sharing all of his years of experience with me. If ever, I should find myself in need of an attorney and he handles my type of legal necessity, I would not look elsewhere.

At one point, we even lost hope of recovering our investment from our LLC partnership exit. But then we met Varun. He patiently handled everything, communicated with the other party professionally, and put together a well-structured exit plan by rewriting all the terms and conditions that secured our investment. His calm and strategic approach made all the difference. Beyond business matters, he also provided us with valuable guidance on a civil case, always ensuring we were on the right path. On top of that, his fees are very reasonable compared to other attorneys, making quality legal support accessible. Varun is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly one of the best attorneys in the Bay Area. We highly recommend him!

I interviewed several attorneys before choosing Cristin's firm. Looking back now 2 years I am glad…read moreI did. When ever you have to hire an attorney for a divorce its going to be difficult, but I got the impression I had someone who knew the law, and who knew how to come up with practical solutions whenever difficult choices were presented. Often I asked for advice and sometimes I didn't take it. She would let me know her opinion (not matter how much I didn't want to hear bad news at times) and when she thought I was making a mistake but she would listen and even change course if needed. She was almost always right, and especially during the early days when I didn't necessarily want to listen (to anyone), she would present her thoughts and would let me know why my suggestion may or may not work. I did find my self emailing if I didn't hear anything for some time and felt like there was a few email miscommunications but I do find that in other areas of business so just don't be afraid to send an email or call if your not sure what is going on. I would usually find that the case was in good hands and any worry I had was misplaced. The best reason to choose her? She knows what she is doing. She knows the numbers, and she is great when your in person with the opposition. My outcome was a fair one, I think both sides didn't necessarily get everything they wanted but that was probably the best outcome for the split family. I think she looked out for me and my kids best interest which I greatly appreciate, and she encouraged me to directly communicate with my ex whenever possible to save $$ even thought that was not always practical I highly recommend Cristin's firm.

From the beginning, they were incredibly personable and patient, taking the time to explain the process, manage expectations, and coach me through each phase of what was a long and stressful case.

They tried the case in front of a jury and won, and even more telling, several jurors stayed afterward to personally share positive feedback about how decent, credible, and impressive Kent and Hamaseh were. That kind of response says everything about their integrity, preparation, and presence in the courtroom. I felt supported, well prepared, and confident because of them. Truly 10/10. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone who needs strong, principled legal representation.
