They will make big promises about what they can achieve, only to pressure you into signing an outrageously overpriced, non-refundable contract. Once they have your money, they disappear and become nearly impossible to reach. If you dare to complain, they immediately flip the narrative, attacking your credibility and branding you as the "bad client." Their tactics are manipulative, dishonest, and designed to protect themselves at your expense. They have been reported to the State Bar as well as the Federal Trade Commission for fraudulent practices.

I would call to get updates to find out what, if anything, was happening with my case. Just before my case was to go to trial, we got to mediation and my case was done. It took 3 years for my case to settle, after several different attorneys, each with their own style of litigation. The last attorney, Tamara was always rushed and did not behave professionally.

I knew right away I was dealing with real professionals, lawyers that knew exactly how to handle something like this and do it right. Brian gave me so much confidence during that first call that I had no doubts hiring them. Thank God I did. I drove up to his office in Los Angeles and was so impressed by what I saw and who I met. Lawyers like Mark Rubashkin and Jeff Twomey, who were monumental in my case. They all took excellent care of me. They also introduced me to the best doctors I've ever been treated by. Experts in my injuries that helped me get my health and my life back. One year to the date of my crash, Brian's office surprised me with the best news of all. The entire policy. Insurance agreed to pay it. It was a big one. All because of Brian and his team. I was blown away. I thought the case would take much longer. Years maybe. But Brian had a secret weapon that forced the other side to deal and pay the entire policy for what they did to me without any further delays. I can't thank them enough for this. Now I'm in a better position to enjoy the rest of my life thanks to Brian Breiter, Mark Rubashkin and Jeff Twomey. Thank you Guillermo Machado for making this happen.

My husband called a bunch of lawyers and set up meetings all over town. Everyone wanted to take my case, but we went with Brian and his team because, right from the beginning, I could tell they were professional, kind, and genuinely felt bad for what had happened to me--ruining my face and causing a traumatic brain injury due to the city's negligence. A couple of months ago, we started preparing for trial, and the level of attention to detail from Brian and his team was incredible. We were in constant communication, and I always felt comfortable asking any questions. I had a wonderful meeting with Jon and Annie that made me feel completely ready for trial. Thankfully, we didn't even have to go to court, as the city offered a settlement. I fully trusted Brian's advice to settle, and I'm so glad I did. It's rare to find people who are so hardworking, compassionate, and truly eager to fight for you. Every single person on that team is incredible--I would be ready to go to trial with any of them. Thank you Brian, Jon, Annie, Mark, Tatiana for all your work during these 3 years!

To my surprise, he remembered both me and my young son. The very next morning, I received an email saying that he and Nigel Burns had decided to take on my case. At one of the lowest points in my life, that message restored hope. Nigel Burns is the driving force behind this remarkable team. His leadership has created a law firm where excellence, integrity, professionalism, compassion, and genuine care are more than values--they are evident in every interaction. The culture he has built is truly inspiring. Samuel Brown stepped in immediately. His professionalism, legal brilliance, calm confidence, and unwavering dedication changed the trajectory of my case. He was exceptionally prepared, strategic, and compassionate. To this day, I remain in awe of the outcome and forever grateful for everything he did for my family. A very special thank you to Denise Flores, whose kindness and dedication went far beyond anything I could have imagined. Denise worked tirelessly--often into the wee hours of the night--preparing my paperwork, answering every question with patience, and making sure nothing was overlooked. She made me feel heard, supported, and cared for during one of the most difficult seasons of my life. What touched me most was not only this team's extraordinary legal skill, but also their humanity. They treated my son and me with dignity, respect, and genuine compassion. They stood beside us when we felt alone and gave us the confidence to keep moving forward. The Law Offices of Nigel Burns didn't just represent my family--they became our beacon of hope. If you are looking for a law firm that combines exceptional legal excellence, outstanding professionalism, unwavering integrity, and heartfelt compassion, I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Nigel Burns, Samuel Brown, Denise Flores, and the entire team. My family will never forget your kindness, dedication, and amazing support. Five stars simply are not enough.

After the verdict was read she left very quickly, pretty much booked it out of the courthouse so we couldn't contact her to know what went wrong and why she didn't do any research or why she didn't call me back to the stand. We paid 10 grand for her so called 'services'. Not sure if was her incompetency or the pretty much railroading of the prosecution and the buddy buddy thing the judge sheriff's dept and jurors had. Either way, there were so many holes in the case that she could've used and blown open in her favor but chose not to. She just plain didn't do any of the research, no calls were made to any of the contacts my father asked her to call and she didn't build a case, she knew nothing about anything and she still made her money. Don't use her for criminal defense, she obviously does not have the knowledge or the aggressive chops for it. She should take it off her website too, as it's false advertising. She is the absolute worst lawyer I've come across in my time on this earth. She is a prime example of why people don't trust lawyers.
