    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. Obviously, there's a cost for using their service but maybe providing a little context for how they are going to help me besides just saying it'll cost $800 would be advisable. Needless to say, I decided to go with someone else.

As my dad is a lawyer (retired), I know how busy a lawyer can be. To my surprise, the email not only went directly to Lino, but he replied personally the next day even when he is out of the town to acknowledge the email. We then set up a phone call to discuss my issues. In 20 mins, Lino gave me a thorough appraisal of my situation, advised my options, and potential legal impacts and outcomes that I haven't thought about it. The core value of the call was Lino was able to connect all the dots together from all the angels, explained to me in a concise and easy to understand format that I basically didn't need to ask further questions. It's probably obvious now, but if isn't, Lino didn't charge me for this call. I also like to acknowledge Lino's assistant, Elizabeth, for being so friendly, helpful, and engaging! If you are short on time and just need someone to at least bounce your legal issues/questions to get the ball rolling, I highly recommend drop an email to Lino and team. I'm confident Lino and his team will exceed your expectations just as he has exceeded mine! Update 2/15/14: After my first call with Lino, some further questions came up and Lino proactively set up another call with again and thoroughly answered my follow-up questions again. He has definitely earned my trust, respect, and future reference! Lino will get my "Bat" signal when an attorney is needed again!

    I was looking for an IP attorney to help me get a trademark. I found Trevor on Yelp and he had…read moregreat reviews. When I reached out to him, he was very responsive. He was able to explain to me the following: 1) he would research the USPTO and let me know if there were any other trademarks under the name; 2) the costs and fees that would be involved; 3) what he does and doesn't do (for example he doesn't do lawsuits, cease & desist because he is not that type of lawyer); 4) the process and timeline of filing a trademark; and 5) what I will need to do to demonstrate "Use in Commerce". After researching different Trademark attorneys, I am happy I chose Trevor to do this for me. So far, I am very pleased with him. He is knowledgeable, accessible, and thorough. Also, I appreciate how he stays in communication with me and has kept me abreast of every step occurring so far with the application filing process.

    I have been in business for over 25 years, and I have learned that I work best with professionals…read morewho are fast, decisive, strategic, and truly knowledgeable in their field. I value clarity over flattery and precision over small talk. Long-term professional relationships are built on competence and integrity -- not on pleasant but empty words. I have been working with Trevor for over five years on trademark matters. During that time, he has handled multiple filings for me, including one case that I genuinely believed would be nearly impossible to secure. Not only did he navigate the complexities with clarity and confidence, but he ultimately succeeded where I had serious doubts it could be done. Trevor is sharp, responsive, and highly strategic. He assesses risk carefully, communicates directly, and moves efficiently. Even with my extremely detail-oriented and demanding approach to business, he is often one step ahead -- anticipating issues before I raise them and providing thoughtful, well-reasoned guidance. To be completely honest, part of me hesitates to write this because I would prefer he not become too busy. That is how valuable he is to me as a trademark attorney. If you are looking for someone who combines intelligence, precision, and professionalism -- and who delivers real results -- you will be in very good hands.

    I consider Scott and Stacy to be two of the most ethical and authentic attorneys that I've ever…read morebeen lucky enough to work with. Scott has been a trusted professional friend of mine for 6 years as well as dependable employment legal counsel in both good and bad situations. Listening is such a crucial process when determining legal courses of action. Scott and Stacy are both impeccable listeners. Their ability to gather all the pertinent details, as well as their ability to provide objective and mature soundboarding enable them to be at the top of their industry. The outcome of their efforts has been 100% positive for me. Once you have engaged with this legal team, you will not only sleep better; but, you will quickly begin to feel confident in making better decisions about your legal employment decisions. Scot and Stacy are equally effective in helping professionals like me before we enter into employment agreements. Imagine the hours and dollars saved by entering into healthy and legal agreements, versus having to fight for past wages? This is well worth the effort to engage Scott and Stacy during an employment offer period. I highly recommend Berman North to any California employees and employers who want to be protected by the best of the best in California employment law.

    I recently needed a real estate attorney for a non-transactional matter. I contacted several…read moreattorneys from SJ to SF, including the East Bay, and found that their responses generally fell into the following categories: 1) Ghosted / never returned my calls. 2) Some replied with a menu of fees with one asking for a $600 consultation fee (a neutral statement, not a judgment on how anyone runs their business). 3) Several days to respond to each message. 4) One launched into a monologue about how he could take my case all the way to the Supreme Court. Eric was the only attorney who responded the same day. He even took the time to decipher my nearly inaudible voicemail, which had been garbled by poor cell reception. He was direct and transparent from the start and spent more than 30 minutes speaking with me before deciding to take on my case. He is exceptionally intelligent, efficient, and highly knowledgeable about real estate law. The level of time and care he devoted to my case made me feel like I was his only client. In addition, he is a skilled litigator, making him a one-stop resource for any legal issues that may arise. He will always be the first person I think of if I or my friends ever need legal advice. If you need someone who is a master of his craft and doesn't play games, Eric is the one.
