Overbooks!

Rajeh accepted my retainer after a consultation. However, his firm was unable to deliver the draft of our response to the court until the late afternoon of the court deadline filing date. I was strung along for weeks that I will be able to read my court response to post-divorce matter soon, always so...on... As a result of their untimely work and need to rush to sign on my end, the response was submitted with a mistake-but it was too late. Also since their office location is a shared open work area, it was inconvenient to meet with any personnel as an appointment needed to be made well in advance so that the lawyer could travel in to use an office room to meet. Did they complete the task? You can say yes, however I would not recommend this firm.

This review is from an anonymous user who we cannot identify from the very vague and generic review. It appears that this user was not even primarily represented by Mr. Saadeh, and this user's claim that the office is in a "shared work area" is deliberately deceptive and false. Appointments are required in order to ensure that the attorney is in the office at the time that a client arrives as the attorney might be elsewhere, such as in a meeting or in court. This user is welcome to reach out to the firm directly to address any real issues that she or he may have. To all readers: please take note of the dozens of positive reviews left for the firm on numerous platforms by clients we actually and definitively represented.

Approach with Caution!!!

I hired this firm in January 23 2024. Ended up with a wonderful attorney. Paid my retainers. On 04/01/2024 I receive a message that my attorney is No Longer with the Firm. I decided to stay with my attorney. On 04/05/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a motion in the family court, this deb...t was 2 months old and I had already paid $5000 in retainer fees. On 05/13/2024, The Law Office of Rajeh A. Saadeh filed a Civil Suit!!! Give me a break! They were paid 5K already and could easily obtain the charging lien for the divorce settlement. A little too much, too soon, not to mention I had to ask 3 times to have duplicate charges removed from an invoice. Total balance is around $7500, but now they also are adding legal fees for the motion and the law suit. Maybe they should worry about getting new customers instead of trying to jack up old customer's bills. Unreal!!!

This review is deceptive, inaccurate, and unfair. Unfortunately, due to pending litigation and ethics restraints, we cannot comment further. To all readers: please read the numerous positive and accurate reviews left for us by former and current clients over many years.

Dragged on case longer.. excessive fees.. .unresponsive

Hired Mr.Rajeh firm for litigation with HOA matter, lack of response despite repeated calls and email. Its was mission to get an update or get in touch with attorrney. After 3 months of signing contract fees went up significantly in middle of litigation. (Without notice) Over billed : 2 lines emaile...d would cost 30mintus of fees. Associate attorney yelled at me when called to ask status on the case. Was nightmare to deal with . Instead of explaining charges which were disputed by me and paying about $20k they refused to pickup the phone to answer questions,they sue clients for excessive ,unreasonable fees on top. And dropped my case halfway right before scheduled hearing.

This anonymous user hired the firm to help him with a litigation matter brought against him by his HOA. The lawsuit started with the HOA filing an emergent application requesting that the court essentially shut down the user's business. The user hired us, and we were successful in having the court deny the HOA's request. After the emergent application and follow up, futile attempts by the HOA to shut down the business, the matter proceeded in the normal course of litigation, which can take over a year to resolve if a settlement isn't reached. In the early stages of the case, the user refused to pay his bill, and he refused to email us to identify which billing entries he disputes and why. Further, this user wanted us to bring frivolous requests against the HOA and its board members, which we are ethically prohibited from doing. Due to these circumstances, our representation of this user terminated, and he hired a new attorney to continue his matter. To date, this user has a balance owing to the firm, and collection efforts recently commenced, which is why this user now decided to defame the firm. To all readers: please read the dozens of positive reviews left for us on numerous platforms for fair and accurate descriptions of our performance.

Hiring This Person was a worse decision for me than marrying the first wife .

My wife and I retained Mr. Saadeh because what we heard Mr. Saadeh say to us, in the initial consultation, that he was able to enable me to prevail in motions that my former wife filed against me seeking additional money after our divorce. The terms of the retainer we entered into made no guarantees,... that is true, however what was verbally heard by the two of us from Mr. Saadeh, gave me assurance that established legal case law would enable him to "neutralize " my ex-wife's demands. When the ordeal was finished, this is not what happened. I lost in court. At the final court date, I was met by a junior lawyer employed by Mr. Saadeh whom I had never met or knew anything about, which was a complete surprise to me. Over the course of our lawyer-client relationship, which lasted about two years Mr. Saadeh experienced a churn of junior associates. Contrary to Mr. Saadeh's claim, that the actions ( arbitration) I took against him were unsuccessful, I was awarded a reduction in his legal fees by an arbitration committee. Not as much as I wanted, for I am not a lawyer and I did not understand how to craft the arbitration paperwork, however the part that I did craft correctly was ruled in my favor and his fee was in fact reduced. For Mr. Saadeh to say that I was unsuccessful is false. I consider the arbitration very successful for me considering that he is trained in law and I am not. My ex-spouse wrote to the arbitration committee, and she said in her letter that Mr. Saadeh is unscrupulous . That opinion is something that my ex-wife, my wife, and myself all agree on. I did no due diligence when I hired Mr. Saadeh. I deeply regretted failing to do so. I felt soon after giving him the retainer that he was not serving me as promised, but as I got in deeper with him and his legal fees, I was afraid to dismiss him and start over with a different lawyer. I feel that my legal matter was beyond his ability. I had a situation that was much more complicated than a real estate closing. Soon after Mr Saadeh received my retainer, I perceived his attitude towards me to become disrespectful and unconcerned. I learned over the course of time that despite the motivating initial assessment that I heard from Mr. Saadeh, my chances of winning in court were not good. I agree that I was wrong to trust Mr. Saadeh and not obtaining additional opinions, but in the beginning I truly did trust Mr. Saadeh. Despite the arbitration reduction, the legal hours charged to me by Mr. Saadeh were significant. The legal hours that he ultimately charged me were almost equal to one third of the amount I had to pay my ex-wife. I consider my hiring of Mr. Saadeh a nightmare, I would never hire him again.

This user hired the firm in a matter. After that matter concluded, this user hired the firm in ANOTHER matter. The second matter also concluded, and in 2019. The attorneys who primarily worked on this user's matters are no longer associated with the firm, and Mr. Saadeh did not primarily work on this user's matters. This user instituted multiple proceedings against the firm and Mr. Saadeh, and all of those proceedings were unsuccessful. If this user would like, this user remains welcome to contact the firm to resolve any issues this user still may have.
