Terrible experience...

I contacted Mr Getzin to take care of my divorce, I got him all the information that he requested and the payment, everything was fine on the first 7 or 8 months, but then things just stop moving, I will contact him and he will apologice and justify the fact that he was busy and other things, he say ...that will contact the judge and arrange the court day and prepare this paper or this other paper and that he will let me know later and update me on the case, finally I ask for copies of the documentation that he send to court and everything so I can consult another lawyer because he was taking too long, he give me nothing and told me that he could not continue with my case and that he was going to tell a "friend" to take care of it, my case was dismissed by the judge because he as my legal representation stopped doing his job, wasted 2 years time, money and stress...

Landlord Dispute

My fiance and I rented a place from a local property management company. We had some concerns while we rented but we did not expect what would happen when we moved out. The company attempted to charge us an insane amount of money and threatened to take us to court even though we satisfied the terms o...f our agreement upon vacating the property. We felt vulnerable and just stuck; we'd never encountered an issue like this. We immediately reached out to Mr. Getzin and were extremely satisfied with our decision. He educated us every step of the process, we felt empowered and ultimately came to an agreeable resolution. Thank you for your assistance!

Happy Client L.V. Eddie

Gareith was professional, timely, honesty and friendly. He has ushered me through one of the most difficult times on my life with the legal system. I would recommend anyone to utilize his service.

The Best in Bay!

Mr. Getzin's ability to explain and deliver the elements of the judicial process allowed me to breathe and stop worrying. His presence and ability to make his point understood in the courtroom is incredible. His demeanor is always professional, he is always ready even on short notice, and his excel...led understanding of the law makes him the best in the Bay...he is a pleasure to work with and I am glad I hired him!

Great in a clutch

I hired Mr. Getzin four days before my hearing on the magistrates recommendation on child paternity and visitation plan. He was very clear on the process and was very thorough when explaining the possible outcomes. He had lots of knowledge of family law and how the courts work. He did a great job an...d was very professional in the court room. I would recommend Mr. Getzin on the fact he prepared as much as he could on a four days notice and how professional he is. He did explain he wanted more time and did his best to get it.
