Long overdue update…read more Quick caveat, I lease my cars and intend to keep them for 3 years, but occasionally life gives you lemons and CLLA helps you turn them into lemonade. Since my original review in 2017, they have actually settled two different issues for me. Reminder that these buyback settlements usually include some kind of NDA so I'll keep it vague. The lease that replaced the buyback from my original review was a good car but had several small but nagging issues they couldn't resolve. CLLA was able to negotiate a "cash-and-keep" where I completed and returned the lease, but received a settlement check that more than covered the inconvenience. The following lease was flawless and actually bought-out at the end for a family member, and they still love it. The lease after that, a 2023, was nothing but software problems: not shifting into park (which is now electronic), problems with the safety systems over-alerting or just going offline (usually 1hr+ into a road trip). After about 3 months of negotiations, the manufacturer wanted me to do a cash-and-keep, but I didn't feel the car was safe. CLLA (Jeeho) was incredibly supportive of whatever I wanted to do. During that round of negotiations I held-off taking the car in again, since every time they did a software update and claimed it should fix the issues, but it either didn't fix those issues or traded them for another. With my attorney's support, and coordination with my Service Advisor, I took the car in again, the dealership had it for three weeks and found no issues (I reproduced them the day I got it back). Jeeho went back to their attorneys and persuaded them to buy that car back. Believe it or not, I ended up leasing a car from the same brand. Before I did, I asked Jeeho if I was crazy and he assured me they see very few issues with that brand. I'm very happy with the current lease so far, but I'm even happier with the results CLLA has been able to get when something has gone wrong and manufacturer is unable or unwilling to diagnose/resolve that issue. Thank you, thank you, thank you! #hatTrick

From our initial consultation, it was evident that Laura is a consummate professional and an expert in her field. Her team consistently and promptly responded to my inquiries, helping me stay calm and focused through the personal ups and downs of the process. Handling an emotional situation with the utmost precision and a level of care is crucial, especially in a case like mine, which involved 10 beneficiaries spread across different states, and the liquidation of real estate and assets. As I don't reside in CA it put me at ease knowing and was able to do all of this remotely with Laura and her team managing everything with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring all legal aspects were thoroughly addressed. My respect for this team is immense, as they kept the process streamlined and completed everything within a very reasonable timeline (about one year). They adeptly navigated some unusual Trust requests from my aunt and directed me to other highly qualified professionals for real estate sales and Trust taxes. While I hope I won't need Estate Representation in California again, Velasco Law Group and Laura would be my first call if the need arises. If you're uncertain, take it from someone who has been through the process--they are experts and worth every penny. My sanity thanks them eternally.

For the record, I never received a return call. It was as if my matter was of no concern or did not meet their criteria. I contacted Michel & Associates and spoke with Irma Galeano, administrative assistant who put me in contact with Matthew Cubeiro, attorney. He listened to me, provided advice, exhibited the highest level of professionalism, did not charge for the consultation, and sent me the form I needed. I received top-notch service and follow up. You can tell when someone wants to help and that is why Michel & Associates should be your first choice. Why do I say this? This law firm genuinely cares about clients' and I highly recommend!

I have never met Jose before, but I had an emergency situation that I needed litigation advice and…read moreJose met me on the same day even in his office during his off day. He was one of the most professional, knowledgeable, and nicest people I have ever met. He took the full 60 minutes to listen, analyze, and advise me on the next steps and answered all my questions thoroughly and professionally. Because of his initial consultation advice (which was free), I was able to navigate myself out of the situation and put "everything back in good order". While I didn't use Jose's legal service this time, I will definitely return to him for future legal needs. For those of you that need some initial legal consultation, please reach out to Jose and his team first before you do anything. You may never know how that single phone call or email can make a huge difference and will turn things around very quickly in your desired situation.

I called them two days in a row and had my name and number taken down without getting a call back for 3 days. I let them know I would stop by since I saw they were down the street and the assistant said she would let the lawyer know. I went inside the building to find out they weren't even there anymore. The address on Yelp and google is wrong. When I called the assistant back, even she didn't know the correct address. I assume this is because she is working from home. I ended up getting in touch with the law office of David Farrell and was so glad that things turned out this way. David is all that his reviews say he is and I would highly recommend him if you can't get in touch with this office.
