I truly felt like I had thrown my entire life away that night I was arrested for a DUI. When I got…read morehome, I felt hopeless and terrified, as though my soul had been completely broken. It felt like I had reached rock bottom and was trapped in a deep, dark hole with no way out. I found myself on my knees, crying and praying that somehow this was all just a terrible nightmare. By the grace of God, I received a glimpse of hope when I was referred to Attorney Thomas Fleming. Mr. Fleming took me under his wing. In the span of just a few days, I experienced a level of legal expertise, compassion, mercy, trust, and love that I had never felt before. I felt truly seen and cared for, as though God had placed him in my life exactly when I needed them most. He gave me guidance and recommendations that would not only help my case, but also guide me toward becoming the person I was intending to be. I committed myself to the recommendations he laid out and faithfully followed them for several months. In the end, they contributed not only to my case, but also to a profound transformation in my life. He is truly a miracle worker. My alcohol level was .18 BAC, profoundly high, and with bad driving reported by another citizen, the potential consequences I was facing were extremely serious, including the possibility of jail time and significant penalties. Yet, through the grace of God and Thomas's exceptional professional expertise, what initially felt like an impossible situation ultimately resulted in an actual (not guilty) acquittal on the DUI charges. He also convinced the judge to issue a court order that DMV must also acquit me! Thomas was able to email my court order of not-guilty to the right person and right department at DMV. DMV then instantly emailed Thomas a DMV not-guilty order for my case. This meant that I get to keep my license! Nothing is impossible for God. I am incredibly grateful that I received no jail time and was instead given volunteer hours at a charity or church. My whole case will then be expunged in only one year! This is an outcome I never could have imagined when I was at my lowest point. I am truly blessed--not only by the outcome of my case, but by the way God brought him into my life. Looking back, I can see that meeting Thomas was something much greater than simply a fortunate circumstance, it was a blessing that reminded me of God's presence and His plan for my life. If you are ever in a situation similar, where you feel hopeless or unsure of where to turn, I cannot recommend Mr. Fleming enough. You need to inquire with them. His legal expertise may change the course of your case, but more importantly, his compassion, guidance, recommendations, and genuine care may change the course of your life, and turn something bad into something very good.

I was arrested for a felony hit and run, which injured a pedestrian. The prosecutor demanded from…read morea court that I serve months in jail. I am a nurse and I thought that would be the end of my life and my career. It was the darkest time in my life that I lost trust in the system and humans. During this time, I found and retained attorney Thomas Fleming. He assured me everything would be ok. Throughout the legal process, Thomas guided me every step, recommending a number of activities that are good for my case, and also helped me grow as a person. Thomas then used these activities and my growth in court as one of many reasons why the court should give me a second chance despite any mistakes I may have made. Thomas then asked the judge to divert and dismiss my case. The prosecutor strongly objected to this. But, amazingly, the judge believed and agreed with Thomas, and granted his request to divert and dismiss my case. Amazing but true, the court dismissed my case at his request! Thomas then filed a motion to seal any record of my arrest, the court granted as well! Thomas has a lot of faith. I found him to be a smart, trustworthy, honest, professional, compassionate and genuinely cared for me as a person. He got to know me and my family as well. He always wanted the best for me, it showed in the result. God bless Thomas!

Gave excellent guidance to filling out the multitude of forms for a landlord eviction. Took the…read moretime to explain each step and was most helpful in what exhibits to include. All this from a phone consultation. Will definitely use him for future needs. Highly recommend him.

Continuing from first review…read more.. Robert A. Miller made me subpoena a former roommate in order to get her to be a witness. This was unnecessary as her email to me was sufficient. Additionally, there are many instances where Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg revealed that they did not examine all of the evidence that I provided. Robert A. Miller kept stressing issues of my pet cat's bodily functions. There was not a single complaint (no email or text, but only something the landlord wanted to add to her retaliatory eviction) of cat urine smell from my two roommates and their partners. I stated that numerous friends of mine have visited and can be witnesses to support that cat urine smell was never an issue. Robert A. Miller responded that the plaintiff Juliet Welch would then call on the other four downstairs tenants as witnesses of cat urine smell. How can downstairs tenants witness what happens in my upstairs apartment when the units are separate and the downstairs tenants and upstairs tenants are not friends and therefore the downstairs tenants are never invited inside the upstairs unit. Moreover, the downstairs tenants have a senior dog and a new puppy, both of whom require puppy pads and potty training. The downstairs tenants also dogsit. There are multiple animals at the 61 Franciscan Way address. A week before my conference court date, Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg required an additional $18,000 in order to represent me, essentially abandoning me. At which point, I asked them to stop work. My new counsel reached a settlement of my staying until the end of December (as opposed to October) and $9000 in new money. The attorney fee agreement clearly states that the $5,000 (the one where I gave $10,000) would ensure the case goes to a jury trial. This is a breach of contract, fiduciary duty, and fraud. Neither Robert A. Miller nor David M. Sternberg went over the retainer fee agreement with me. As a matter of fact, David M. Sternberg did not even sign the retainer fee agreement until August 14th, 2019 after receiving the additional $5,000 (where I gave $10,000). I filed a Ca State Bar Mandatory fee dispute in Feb. 2022. Robert A. Miller answered to serve David M. Sternberg who did not agree to be served until November 2022. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg ignored the CA State Bar Mandatory fee dispute so that the statute of limitations would expire. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg responded after I filed small claims because the CA State Bar Dispute was not going anywhere. I called everyday and left messages and CA State Bar only responded once when I received a call back that they will not discipline attorneys for not answering. At the small claims court date, David M. Sternberg twisted the fee dispute to become legal malpractice to claim a one year statute of limitation. I never used the language of legal malpractice in any of my communication with Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg set themselves up nicely so that they can claim that any court proceeding waives my rights to pursue a fee dispute with Ca State Bar. Robert A. Miller and David M. Sternberg are unscrupulous lawyers who are greedy and take advantage of vulnerable clients.
