Simply the best

Roberta Tarkan is as Tina Turner once said, “simply the best”. I recently went through a landlord/ tenant dispute and retained Roberta as my legal counsel. When searching for an attorney, I asked my friend and volleyball teammate who happens to be a landlord/tenant lawyer (just as in-house council he...nce) for recommendations. She told me “I would hands down recommend Roberta Tarkan for anything related to landlord /tenant related”. Seeing how my friend was a lawyer, I trusted her recommendation. I immediately reached out to Roberta’s office and met with her the next day for a consultation. From the moment I met Roberta, I felt immediately less stressed. Anytime anyone experiences having a legal matter to deal with, it can be overwhelming and frustrating. With Roberta, I felt like I had an advocate. Her knowledge and “tell it how it is, no BS attitude” is exactly what you want in a lawyer. After my consultation, I immediately retained her as my council. Throughout my entire legal matter, Roberta and her office took care of me. Any time the opposing lawyers threw something at me, Roberta fired back with knowledge and facts. She knows when other lawyers are playing games and is not afraid to call their bluff. To Roberta, her client comes first. Unlike some lawyers, Roberta understands that for many of her clients, it is the first timing having to deal with circumstances in a court setting. For me, it was undoubtedly nerve wracking, but I always knew Roberta had my back and is not afraid to fight for me. After everything was said and done, Roberta got the case against me dismissed. Roberta Tarkan is the reason why I am able to write this review from my desk in the apartment she fought to help me keep. I am incredibly grateful for all she has done. My message to anyone reading this review is that Roberta Tarkan is a solid choice to anyone dealing with a landlord/tenant dispute. You will not be disappointed. Understandably, choosing a lawyer is not a small decision to make and is overwhelming. If anyone would like to reach out and speak with me personally about my experience, I encourage you to email me at mailto:ericgraham518@gamil.com. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Best Legal Protection

I'm so glad that I hired Roberta Tarkan. I was properly defended against an abusive and a disorderly Landlord. She was very professional, efficient with the Court employees,Judge. She was very knowledgeable and experienced. She stopped every abuse from the Landlord. She directly and personally al...ways contacted me, was always available for appointments including the weekends. Her staff were friendly and professional. I felt very safe and legally protected during the entire stressful case. And we won!

Rude, Abrasive and Confrontational

I regret hiring Roberta she is very unprofessional and just insults you when you don’t agree with her, yells at you on the phone and hangs up abruptly,she quoted me a price and I gave her half of the $$ and then tried to change the price. Insulted me by saying that the the people that were taking me... to court sounded more credible than I did! Never listened to what I said, she did not want to go to court and ended up settling fof the amount of the security because she kept arguing with me every time I tried to explain my side of the story. I agreed to the unjust settlement that she got me because I just wanted to end dealing with her! I basically wasted my $$$ and she caused me a tremendous amount of stress!! Do yourself a favor and stay away from her, wether you win or lose it is important that the attorney you are paying to represent you treats you with courtesy and respect! She is angry $$$ hungry woman that should not be dealing with the public!

One of the worst

I've dealt with Real Estate attorneys in the JC area for about 12 years now. She takes the cake, she was egregiously boastful about her ability to win. She ended up losing because of her overconfidence and condescending demeanor with the prosecutor. In the end she still won because she got my $50...0 up front. She is extremely rude, and not worth the fees she gets (upfront).
