Although my case was not right for Ms. Burd, she e mailed me some references and was so helpful!

Tara supported me and my brothers after the passing of my parents and through the probate process, and we give her the highest marks and recommendations. Probate is long and cumbersome. However, Tara makes it simple and the least amount painful. She takes you through it step-by-step explaining the whys behind it all. She is the most responsive professional I have ever engaged with, which says a lot about the level of service she provides. We had such a positive experience with her, that my brother engaged Tara to facilitate the development of his living trust. He shared how easy Tara made that process as well. If you are in need of the legal services Tara offers, I highly suggest you work with her. read more

Tara did a bait and switch with my case, agreeing I had a great case... doing nothing, loosing my case and putting a clause in contract you can't go after any of the attorneys for malpractice when she agreed malpractice. Put a clause in I objected to, the case is over upon signing. So the parties I had claims against. I never could collect and no grounds to take them to court due to Tara contract I objected to. I loss over $32,000 in her bill for Nothing and the rest of my inheritance...plus she didn't do her due diligence to point out wrong doing. She was always too busy and uninterested after she stated I have a strong case , I didn't get Justice nor money. read more

Yes she's sounds nice easy talk to needs for Lvt and stuff needed and legal needs for my family

I emailed Tara with a concern/question I had and she called me back in a timely matter with advice. A couple of days later, I still had questions and decided to email Tara again. She promptly emailed me back same day with additional advice and answers to my questions. She seemed polite and friendly and not at all annoyed as she was answering my same questions again. She did not charge me for the legal advice she provided! read more

Overpriced. Unhelpful. Unskilled. I had no idea how someone so unskilled could pass the bar. They did not know what they were doing and could not help me. read more

I'm so thrilled with the service I received from this office. I can't even remember the female I spoke with because this was years ago and my review was left in drafts. Although I didn't use the service, the female was very pleasant and gave me advice about what to do in my situation. She was professional. knowledgeable, and took the time to listen. read more

I have known Tara for nearly 10 years and wouldn't hesitate for a minute to recommend to her to friends and family in need of a lawyer. So when my unemployment was denied, she was the first person I thought to contact. Within minutes, Tara called me back and arranged a time to assist me with my appeal letter. She was professional, attentive, and gave excellent advice. The letter she assisted me with was phenomenal. Her accolades do not give her justice, you have to contact her to see just how amazing she is. In terms of attorneys, Tara is a force to be reckoned with. Highly, highly recommend. ***Update**** Due to Taras diligence and hard work, I won my case. She calmed me down explaining that the in person hearing wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would. Her assistance through this process made going through a stressful time so much better. I am so grateful for her help! read more

After getting quoted $350-$450 from other lawyers just to look at my case, Tara was very willing to hear about me out and give me immediate feedback on what she recommended I should do. Very kind, very informative, very helpful. Thanks Tara! read more

FLAKE: called Ms. Burd 3 days ago for URGENT help & consultation, even left a detailed VM message for her and never heard back, day 3. Not a good sign, even another Yelp review says the same. Ominous. read more

My business partner and I sought the legal services of Tara Burd recently, to work to resolve a matter we had with a large firm in San Diego. Tara was completely astute and on point from our initial consultation until the final resolve - which wrapped up quickly because of her knowledge and ease with the practice of law. We found ourselves up against a large organization that was giving us the run-around while delivering inaccuracies when stating their position. Tara arranged to hold a negotiation with both parties. Tara then took control of the negotiation and both parties agreed in a result that we are extremely pleased with. Tara delivered a written statement to the opposing party that connected facts and pointed to nuances that they would not have liked to face in a court of law which compelled them to come closer to meeting our terms. I am the CEO of my Company and appreciate Tara's work and would highly recommend her if you find yourself needing a great lawyer. It can be highly stressful when you find yourself in such a position. So if you need an excellent lawyer who returns calls and e-mails promptly; someone who digs in deeper to work hard on your behalf call Tara Burd she gets it done! read more

Tara Burd was incredibly helpful to me, responded to my inquiry rapidly, and didn't charge me a penny in the process. Here's some background. I went to the firm's website and provided a description of the problem I was facing. Tara Burd reviewed the facts with her colleagues, including a particular wrinkle associated with my case. She concluded that I did not need legal representation at this time, but indicated under what circumstances I would be wise to seek counsel. read more

I was self represented in my small claims case, and wanted a second opinion when the Defendant wanted to file a Motion to Vacate the Judgment. Despite my amount of evidence to have the Motion denied, I was still hesitant the Defendant might use a sad story to sway the judge in their favor, so I went in for a consultation with Tara. Tara was very professional, personable, and knew the legal field well. She reviewed my documents, and re-assured me I had a solid case against the defendant. She printed out a section of the California Civil Code for me to use, and looked over my strategy to deny the motion. She calmed me down about worrying about the judge hearing a sad story from the Defendant, since it's a common tactic, but is not as effective with solid evidence against it. When I showed up to the hearing, I stated my points, and the judge agreed with me, resulting in a denial of the motion! If I ever need legal advice again, I won't hesitate to contact Tara. read more

As a rule, I hate lawyers (doesn't everybody?), so I found it refreshing when Tara answered the phone personally, and spent roughly 20 minutes of her presumably expensive time on the phone consulting with me about a beating I just took from a would be employer. That beating, a verbal offer which simply evaporated the day before I was supposed to start, unfortunately does not seem to have any kind of legal remedy. How we can tolerate a legal landscape so blatantly tilted towards the interests of hiring parties and not the parties being hired and the lopsided math of "at will" employment aside, I was very appreciative of the professionalism and time taken by Tara to explain the legal aspects of the situation. read more

I could not be any happier with the service I received from Tara! I own a small business and was in need of some help with my lease agreement. She was extremely professional and got back with me right away with any questions or concerns that I had. I, too, appreciated the fair rate that she had given me since I am a small business and do not have a large budget set aside for legal issues. I would totally recommend Tara to anyone in need of sound legal advice and help with their small business concerns. Thank you! read more

Tara is the first person I think of when friends and family need the help of a lawyer. I have come to Tara with questions regarding unpaid overtime, independent contractors vs employees, and tenant rights. She has come through every time with solid answers and advice. She is excellent at explaining the details without talking down to you or over your head. I am always impressed by her ability to be professional and fun at the same time. When you meet with her, you will have an understanding that not only is she passionate about what she does, but she really cares about delivering the best results possible for her clients. Trust Tara; she's always awesome and never disappoints! read more

I used this law office to draft a software license agreement for my new software company back in December. I was really happy with the job they did and how well they followed the parameters I gave them... but I was most happy with the rates and overall value - both extremely important to my startup co. I would definitely use this law office again should the need arise. read more

I have a very difficult legal situation that I needed consultation on, that was put upon me, and not of my doing. The bar association referred her to me. This woman was condescending, and somewhat rude. She assumed a lot and started making accusations of things there were not there. I was just looking to clean up a mess that someone else left for me. read more

I recommend Tara many times over, and will certainly be engaging with her for any future legal concerns. read more

Tara is phenomenal. She's informative, knowledgable and very personable. She uses language that isn't overbearing over difficult to someone with limited law knowledge to understand. The legal points she made gave us the insight and confidence my wife and I needed to move forward without hesitation and we are so grateful we found Tara to help us in a crunch. I've already referred a colleague to her and will continue to. Even if I have follow up questions or thoughts to share with her, she's responsive and doesn't tag on extra bills. She legitimately cares about her clients and that's not something you find everywhere. read more

Tara came highly recommended and went above and beyond with her service. What should have been a routine lease agreement quickly became complicated because of a difficult landlord. Tara was extremely knowledgable, patient, professional and keep me abreast of everything throughout. She even followed up twice afterward to make sure no new issues arose with our landlord. Complete peace of mind and fantastic service. Highly recommend. read more
