anonymous · bankruptcy ·
Great Lawyer and very political in his area. He is very technical and handles large Bankruptcy or commerical litigation
- ★★★★★Hands down the BEST!
Jalena & Brent · real estate ·
We came to Samuel after a horrifying experience with another lawyer, hopeful for a better attorney/client relationship and actual results in our on-going real estate fraud case. Samuel didn’t just deliver the results we desired, he completely exceeded them, obtaining a unanimous jury verdict in our f avor as well as an unexpected award for punitive damages! Additionally, Sam restored our faith that good people still exist – even lawyers! More importantly, Sam’s dedication to us, combined with his creative legal strategies, alleviated the mounting stress we had been feeling prior to working with him, allowing us to refocus on our family with confidence that Sam was taking care of everything leading up to, and throughout, trial. To say he is a phenomenal trial attorney would be an understatement! He helped change the trajectory of not only our case, but our life - and we will remain forever grateful for the results he gave us, as well as his friendship.
- ★★★★★Great Educator
Rick · real estate ·
Mr. Doncaster gave me council on renter responsibilities for my daughter with her apartment. He was very thorough and helped me understand the letter of the law and also the likely outcome of my duaghter's decisions. I walked into the meeting feeling my back was against the wall and left with the c omfort of presenting multiple options to my daughter and knowing what the potential and likely outcomes would be. Mr. Doncaster has a great bedside manner and his knowledge and ability to exlplain clearly are a huge help to those of us who have no prior dealings with the legal arena.
- ★★★★★Dispostion Hearing
Margot · litigation ·
I was so impressed with Samuel Doncaster's expert handling of the disposition case. He was well prepared and extremely professional. I hold him in the highest regard and I certainly would recommend his services for anyone that is in need of an attorney that knows the law and gets the job done!
- ★★★★★Professional and Compassionate
Zara · litigation ·
I hired Paul to represent me in a complicated multi party/ multi insurance premises Liability case on the recommendation of one of his colleagues. This was the best decision I made as Paul has proven himself to be very knowledgeable in insurance coverage issues and liability matters and also very co mpassionate and generous on a personal level. Paul has been very consistent and available at all times and has meticulously been navigating my case to protect and defend my interest. Paul has always been few steps ahead of the opposing party and we are in the final stretch of a very complicated lawsuit and things are looking good. With no hesitation I recommend Mr. Paul Kular to anybody who is facing a lawsuit and needs somebody who cares, is ethical and knows what he is doing.

Rob and his associates have been providing superb legal advice over the past 15+ years, but his contribution to our success has extended far beyond legal matters.

Jonathan ·
Attorney Stewart has the ability to mirror his action, in both timing and aggressiveness, to the task at hand with the ability to draw upon his legal experience while being able to provide an explanation to someone who is not an attorney in such a way that can be understood and acted upon. His advic e is sound, appropriate and realistic to my needs.
- ★★★★★Thank you!!
anonymous · business law ·
I have utilized the services of Ivan & Associates for multiple business and estate planning purposes for several years now, after a friend told me about them. They are the utmost professionals, and each instance has been favorable!!! I’ve worked with pretty much every staff member and attorney on th eir team in some capacity or another over these several years, and all have been incredibly professional and skilled. There are several instances that stand out, where the attorney Florin has helped me navigate some complex matters. He is very wise, and has always given proper advice. He is able to always explain things in a manner I understand, and I am incredibly appreciative of him and the rest of the staff (Jim, Debra, Nancy, Angie, Ryan, Rebecca, Lucian, to name a few), for helping me over these past years.
- ★★★★★Consultation was supposed to be free w/ legal insurance
Kay ·
I requested a consult with this attorney and got a 5 minute phone call with the legal assistant who forwarded my paragraph explaining my issue. Then without an initial consult or any information about what the firm can do for me in my case tried to send me a retainer agreement and requested $1,000 de posit and wanted me to ageee to pay $200/hr after my legal insurance to supposedly represent me but who knows for what since it wasn’t even explained what they would be representing me for.
- ★★★★★Responsive, Concise, Competent and Thorough
anonymous · real estate ·
I retained Florin Ivan as my attorney to assist me with an adversarial real estate matter at the end of 2015. While I was familiar with Arizona statutes regarding responsibilities of landlords and tenants, Florin was able to quickly grasp the essence of the situation, provide practical counsel and a ssuring guidance, and help me to strip the emotion out of the highly charged issue. Florin was always available to me -- at night and on weekends -- and tireless in his willingness to let me "vent", while listening for the salient usable points that he was then masterfully able to incorporate into simple, direct, and persuasive communications that quickly moved this matter to a satisfactory resolution. I highly recommend Florin to anyone who wants a legal advocate who conducts himself as a gentleman, knows the law, and is able and willing to go the distance to bring your case to positive resolution. Florin conducted himself as a consummate professional during every interaction I had with him -- listening intently, questioning to understand, providing context and cogent explanation of the law, and offering proactive suggestions for how to proceed. While nobody I know enjoys litigation, when it becomes necessary, Florin is one attorney who makes the experience as civilized, productive, and positive as possible. I hope that I won't need Mr. Ivan's services in the future, but if I do, I'll not hesitate to call him.
- ★★★★★Charged my insurance for consult, wont reply back to me
Scott · family law ·
I have a legal plan at work and this was one of the lawyers on the list to possibly use for some adoption representation. I did have a phone consultation yet ended up using a previous attorney we had from a prior adoption. When i filled out paperwork for reimbursement for adoption costs, my insuranc e denied and and said they had paid above mentioned law firm. I have sent numerous emails and voice messages to see what they billed me for but to no avail.
- ★★★★★Helped my business!
DM · business law ·
I have used the services of Mr. Ivan on multiple occasions for business matters. He is incredibly wise, and always gives me sound advice. All outcomes have been favorable with his help and guidance. I have referred him to colleagues and friends!
- ★★★★★Exactly what you want in an attorney
Tom ·
What I want in an attorney is someone who is knowledgable, experienced, communicates well, responsive and importantly, someone who wins! Matt Klopp met my expectations on every point. I was part of a group who engaged Matt....couldn't be happier with his representation. I have also consulted Matt in dividually...same result, couldn't be happier.
- ★★★★★Marc is sharp and well worth his hourly rate
Trent · business law ·
Our general contracting firm has been represented by Marc Erpenbeck a number of times over the past 7 years. He has always been very pragmatic and professional. He is very good at recognizing the legal issues and understanding our potential exposure and risks. When forced to use another attorney ( at a different firm) because Marc had a conflict, Marc's value was reinforced. I knew the issue the opposing counsel was trying to make, and I consistently asked our attorney to defend that issue. Over the span of 2 months, I brought up the issue at least 6 times. He failed to heed my request. We lost that case and it cost our firm over $200,000. In the opinion, that issue was the very reason we lost the suit. We had a valid defense and should not have lost on that issue. Some time later, Marc asked for an update on that case. I briefly told him the scenario, and within 5 minutes he brought up the very issue. Summary: 2 months for the other guy, and $200,000 he didn't get it. 5 minutes for Marc and he was all over that issue. Trust me, Marc is good and is well worth the money. He is trustworthy and definitely has your best interests in mind.
- ★★★★★Very Professional, diligent, and responsive to client.

- ★★★★★Very helpful and quick
Kirmi · immigration ·
My husband is a US citizen and so after we got married, we wanted to file permanent residency for me. We are both in our early 20s so when we first found out how the process is, it was overwhelming as we had to do so much paperwork. A family friend recommended us to meet Chhayal and she broke down t he process for us to understand, which to me personally is an important step before starting any legal process. From first meeting itself, we felt so much better and helped. She is very kind, helpful, patient and always responded all of my questions pretty quickly. She is very professional and does the process with all depth. Tells you everything honestly upfront on how your case is and explains everything patiently. We are very thankful to her for handling our case and I am now a permanent resident of the States. I highly recommend going to her and just do as she suggest, be honest to her about situation, give her all the required documents, trust her and count on her.

Chayyal helped my husband and I file for the K1 visa and his permanent resident card. We could not have gone through that process successfully without her help. She was always willing to answer questions and ensure that we understood every step of the way. I am so happy with the outcome and grateful that we found her!

Larry used a combination of excellent bankruptcy knowledge and experience, and practical business advise to guide my company to a positive result with a bankrupt debtor. He was very responsive and a great person to work with. I recommend him highly.
- ★★★★★Not your average BK Attorney
Cheryl · family law ·
I had an extremely complicate divorce which eventually constituted the necessity to file Bankruptcy. Larry was exceptional in his knowledge of how best to navigate my case to receive the best outcome for my situation. He was compassionate, but forthright in his demeanor, and advice on how to proceed with my unique case, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs this level of expertise in dealing with a Bankruptcy, as well as the involvement with the IRS. He made a devastating situation tolerable, and I am so thankful for his representation.
- ★★★★★Peace of Mind!!
Deb · employment law ·
I had a situation where a Goliath company tried to steamroll me on an employment matter. An attorney I knew urged me to contact Richard Klauer citing his expertise - and I'm very happy that I did. I admit that I was very intimidated but Mr. Klauer immediately put me at ease, collected all the infor mation that would be needed and put together a compelling case. The case drug on for some time due to continuances but Atty Klauer diligently stayed at the ready for every twist and turn. In the end, we prevailed! I would urge anyone to engage this attorney. His office is professional and friendly, he is very personable and easy to work with. Most of all, he's a professional and will work tirelessly on behalf of his clients. While I hope I never NEED his services again, it is very comforting to know that I have someone like him that is willing to be in my corner!

I can’t say enough about Mr Klauer and Mr Curdie. I hired them to handle my case. All I can say is they are wonderful. If you need to hire a law firm Klauer & Curdie Law Firm are the best. They are so honest and trustworthy and work extremely hard for you. If they can not help you they will tell you up front. They are truly the best.
- ★★★★★Great Employee Decision

- ★★★★★Professional, Efficient Lawyer
anonymous · business law ·
I contacted several attorneys with a rather unique and somewhat challenging business legal issue involving the purchase of a former company that I owned. Mr. Hager was the only attorney who actually even took the time to respond and find out the exact details of my case. Within days, Brett had be gun to research my case and began contacting most of the parties involved. He has been quick to respond to my inquiries and has been very good at keeping me up to date on the status of my case. My overall case time has been only a few months and Mr. Hager was able to reach negotiations without having to incur litigation costs and court fees. With Mr. Hager's legal expertise and efficient negotiating skills, the conclusion to my case is favorably on my side. I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. I would highly recommend Brett Hager from Sanders & Parks to anyone needing professional, effective legal services. Jennifer P. Desert Hills, AZ

Thoa · real estate ·
I recently had to short sale my investment property and enlisted the help of Mr. Robert Nagle. Real estate to me is another language that I don't speak so I wanted to make sure I would be protected and have the guidance and support of a professional to help me make the right choices. Mr. Nagle was able to answer all my questions and provide a few solid options on our first call. I was then able to execute the short sale of my property with Mr. Nagle's assistance. He was able to catch several pitfalls in contracts and deeds, saving my money and not to mention a lot of headaches down the road! Many people do not realize how many potential pitfalls they can run into when short selling their property so enlisting an experienced individual like Mr. Nagle is absolutely necessary. I would highly recommend Mr. Nagle. He was worth every penny and more!
- ★★★★★I Am Extremely Appreciative
