Posted by Former Client, Ms. J | May 10, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Employment & Labor

Excellent legal services and attorney. Very professional and dedicated.

Mr. Obed is an amazing lawyer-- was very understanding and supportive throughout the whole process from start to finish. After dealing with great injustice from my former employer during the COVID-19 pandemic, I truly felt hopeless and devastated. Then I was referred to Mr. Obed's firm, and every...thing started to look up from that moment. The first time I spoke to Mr. Obed he was very undertsanding, patient, and listened to everything I had to say about my situation, took all concerns into consideration and stayed on the phone for over one hour until I finished expressing myself. He definitelt understood my fustration and gave me an idea of what to expect before moving forward with my case. During the whole process Mr. Obed never gave up on my case, provided continuous communication and follow-up (during all the 4+ months working with my case). It was a challenging case mostly because my former employer and opposing counsel would purposely delay responses for weeks and months-- but Mr.Obed remained consistent, provided supporting evidence to support my case, and kept communicating with opposing counsel until we were able to reach a fair agreement/justice for all the injustice I had gone through. There are no words to express my gratitute. I highly recommend Mr. Obed's firm and legal services.

Review of Service

I hired Seth to help represent my interests as a tenant in an ongoing dispute with my property manager. Seth was great at explaining my options and, in being new to the legal world, also what to expect as we went in a particular direction. I would have been happy with his services even if we had not ...been successful in the end, so I would highly recommend him to others. He is first rate!

Experienced, Compassionate & Trusted!

I hired Mr. Obed to finish my Garnishment case as I live in California and had to have an unplanned major surgery on my neck. He took over my case with ease, was extremely reasonable on his hourly rate, and so knowledgeable he even found a mistake the Court had made! He pointed out the road blocks ...ahead and prepared diligently and ahead of schedule. He communicated with me before I even had a chance to worry or ask questions. He was very personal, approachhable and compassionate to my situation. I don't have any more legal issues in VA to handle, but if I did, I would hand them all over to him! I've been a paralegal for 25 years in the PI industry and have seen all kinds of lawyers. I wish there were more attorneys like Mr. Obed out here in CA!

Seth is great

As a small business owner, I'm often faced with legal challenges that overwhelm my own experience in terms of figuring out the best way to proceed. Seth has worked with me on numerous occasions, and he's always been fantastically helpful. Seth has helped dealing exclusively with me on contracts as... well as dealing directly with clients of mine as issues arise. My favorite aspect of working with Seth, though, is that he takes the time to listen to me, understands what I want, and walks me through my options in a way I understand.
