A couple of weeks after my house was on the market, I was happy to receive an offer from a couple…read more As per standard practice, 3% of the agreed price was wired by the buyers to the title company handling the escrow. The buyers then proceeded to do their due diligence with various inspections, etc. Once the buyers were totally satisfied, they then removed all contingencies. I thought the rest of the process would be straightforward as we counted down towards the mutually agreed close-of-escrow date. But it turned out that the buyers' lending bank, which had earlier preapproved the buyers, decided at the last minute to back out, so the escrow fell through. I then had to go through the process of putting my house on the market again. Two months after that failed escrow, I received a letter from an attorney representing the unsuccessful buyers who argued that these buyers should get all their initial Ernest Money Deposit (EMD) back (this EMD was still being held by the title company). It was then that I contacted Cary Kletter's office to see if they would represent me in dealing with the buyers' attorney. Upon learning the key facts of this aborted escrow, Cary believed that I had a good case and agreed to represent me. So Cary wrote a very firm letter to the buyers' attorney. By first reminding the buyers the salient facts of this case, and why the escrow failed, Cary easily dismissed any basis the buyers might have for laying claim to the EMD. Nonetheless, Cary offered the buyers a small percentage of the EMD to settle the matter; the alternative being to go to mediation. Cary made it very clear to the buyers that should they lose in mediation, they would be responsible for all associated costs, including attorney fees. Thus with this one well-articulated and forceful letter, Cary was able to gain the upper hand in the negotiation that followed. This negotiation in fact went on for two more rounds. With each round, the buyers' attorney showed that they were willing to take a smaller and smaller percentage of the EMD. With the buyers evidently in retreat, Cary then issued a very strong 'take-it-or-go-mediation' final offer. The buyers' had little choice but to accede. Even though I did not get all the EMD and was quite sure that I would win in mediation, I was very happy with the final settlement. I was most relieved that we managed to avoid all the time and hassle of the mediation process. So I have to say Cary really knows his stuff when it comes to such negotiations! I was very impressed by Cary's negotiating style and tactics, and I am most grateful that he represented me.

I then tried to call but no one picked up.

Needless to say, I decided to go with someone else.

Almost 2 years ago I was on a walk with my dog when an Amazon employee almost ran the both of us…read moredown. I called out to the Amazon driver and this man opened his window and called me the N-word in front of several of my neighbors. As a black American, I have experienced racism far too many times to count. I was overcome by several emotions. Rage, frustration, fatigue. Fatigue at having to deal with this sort of sickness, cancer. Saddened that so many of us have to deal with it. I decided not to lash out and set out on a mission to search for an attorney who handles such cases. I was very fortunate because it did not take me long to find attorney Devin Coyle. Attorney Coyle worked for months locating the parties he needed to locate. He genuinely cared about my case and was troubled by my story. I felt extremely relieved that my case was being handled by this particular attorney. This is why I know for a fact that if you find yourself in a situation where you've been harassed for racial, political or for some other reason listed under protected class, you should definitely reach out to Attorney Devin Coyle. I hope to never find myself needing an attorney for this purpose again but if I do ever find myself dealing with something similar or some of the same old thing, this is the Attorney I will be reaching out to.

Devin was extremely professional and always went the extra mile to support me in my case.With his help we won the lawsuit and I received more than I expected. I am forever grateful for his hard work and for getting me the justice I deserved. I walked away feeling stronger and with a sense of closure. I highly recommend Devin if you need a employment attorney. If you need an attorney who truly cares about his clients, look no further!

Vincent Tong came recommended, I hired him, he resolved the matter in my favor, and I'm quite glad I did hire him. Vincent got it quickly, understood the relevant California law, and gave me clear, strategic advice from the start. He "handled it" with minimal input from me but the communication throughout was great. He drafted strong, thoughtful correspondence that protected my position without unnecessarily escalating the situation. Vincent was responsive, steady, and experienced. My highest recommendation to Vincent and Tong Law if you are dealing with a cease-and-desist, or other type of California-specific employment issue. He's a good guy too - and fun to work with.

What I appreciated most was how he kept the focus on the core decision I needed to make. I'm very grateful for Vincent's insight and would highly recommend him to anyone navigating a severance or employment transition.

The best advice I've ever heard is: get an attorney…read more But, seriously, I'm not rich. I work for a living; I don't have $2,000 lying around for an attorney. And I never really thought I'd need an attorney for anything at the office. I love my job. My career was going great. But when things took a hard-left at work this past winter and I needed support, calling James was the smartest move I've ever made for myself. James knows the system. He has like 30 years of work place law. And he knows the bullshit that happens sometimes to us. First, and foremost, James took my call and listened to everything. He didn't let me feel like I was alone; he reminded me that I have rights and there was someone who would be on my side. After my initial call I actually understood a lot more about my situation. James was familiar with the work process I was thrown into. He explained what typically happens in things like this. He explained how to navigate it. He explained how to get Justice from the very system I though was fixed against me. His perspective and methodical understanding of "what's my next step" really lowered my stress levels. Anytime there was any new developments, James was on it within 24 hours. Having James an email away kept me feeling like I had a team behind me. The best part is, James worked out a payment plan that I could TOTALLY afford. My worst fear was not having the cash to get a good legal work done on my behalf. James seriously helped me with a generous and relaxed payment plan. I've referred one of my friends from San Francisco to him. And my bud was surprised on how interested James was to talk in depth about the situation on the initial call. Very nice.

Review of Tracy Lemmon -- Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution…read moreI was terminated by a major technology company while on protected medical leave, with active internal complaints and external agency filings pending. The company had locked me out of all systems within hours of my filing complaints, and opposing counsel was running out the clock while offering nothing substantive. I needed someone who could force a real conversation. Tracy did that. She engaged opposing counsel directly and didn't let mischaracterizations stand -- she quoted their own words back to them in writing and held the line. When the other side tried to reframe the narrative, Tracy kept the record clean and the pressure consistent. She coordinated strategy across multiple state and federal agencies simultaneously, which created the kind of leverage that actually moves a large employer off its default position of silence. The monetary result was strong -- meaningfully above what I expected going in, and well beyond the company's initial posture. But Tracy didn't stop at the headline number. She optimized the tax structure of the settlement in a way that materially increased what I actually took home, secured employment record protections that matter for future background checks, and ensured that every internal investigation was formally closed. Those details compound long after the check clears, and she understood that from the start. She's also genuinely collaborative. She kept me copied on everything, ran drafts past me before sending, and respected the documentation I brought to the table rather than sidelining it. If you show up organized and prepared, she'll put your evidence to work. I'd strongly recommend Tracy for anyone facing a California employment dispute against a well-resourced employer. She got me to a pre-litigation resolution that I didn't think was possible when I first engaged her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

After about 2-1/2 years of harrassment, I finally decided to reach out. I looked carefully because I wanted a quiet and fair attorney who would mediate and help me avoid court and trial. In my research I found Lemmon Law. Tracy has been my champion ever since. It was a very challenging case, but she stuck by me all the way. She is smart, respectful, forthright, and honest. Tracy never made a move without first discussing it with me and she was incredibly diligent in dealing with a problematic discovery process. At the end of the day, we prevailed much to my satisfaction, though we did nearly end up in court, we were able to settle the whole thing (as I said, much to my financial and personal satisfaction). If you need a lawyer to stand with you and fight for you while treating all involved with decency and respect, Lemmon Law, especially Tracy Lemmon is where you want to go.
