Nicholas Tepper

This review is solely based on the experience my company has had with attorney Nick Tepper, Esq. This is our story: Over year ago, my company’s yearbook division lost a civil case over a minor dispute and was faced with a substantial financial judgment. We selected Mr. Tepper because he believed i...n “winning” an appeal case for our company. We had interviewed about 10 law firms, including the top 3 firms in Los Angeles, and only Nick had the skill and confidence to take our case and win! Our first impression of Nick was assuring, as he confidently assessed our case and gave clarity to strategy, unlike the other high-profile lawyers from the first 9 law firms we interviewed who did not want to take the case. From the initial meeting, he consistently believed in our success. Therefore, after follow-up email exchanges, we retained Mr. Tepper’s firm to represent our appeals case on behalf of our company. The day of the appeal was the true test! Nick’s firm prepared the opening brief, which in our opinion was less than satisfactory. However, Mr. Tepper turned our disappointment around during the Oral Argument hearing! As we observed his court-room manner and poise while handling the justices’ challenging questions, we perceived his laser like focus, confidence, and control of the situation. His attentiveness to detail and dogged pursuit of justice ultimately led to the justices, including the presiding judge, unanimously reversing the decision in favor of my company. Given the slim chance of a reversal judgment for our appeal case, this truly was a miracle! In addition, the fact that we found Mr. Tepper through a random Google search makes this win even more amazing! He was truly God sent! I also give thanks and credit to those who fervently prayed and fasted about this situation and asked for justice for my company during this past year. My company has had working relationships with multiple law firms over the past 20 years, from the boutique-style, more personal type to the large conglomerate international type which is less personal. Of all the attorneys of which we have been associated, Mr. Nick Tepper has been at the top of our list for his personable style, transparency, and commitment to justice. He has what it takes to get the justice you deserve!

I found Nick a few years ago when dealing with a less than honest landlord on a vacation property I was renting. He handled that case with ease, and that was that. Recently, my company decided to go into litigation against a much bigger company in our industry over a deal that fell through based on ...the other companies inaction after commitment to action. After meeting with several high priced "industry" attorneys, I asked my partner if we should consult with Nick Tepper, because even though the case he handled for me was simple enough and our encounter was brief, I was very impressed with the way he conducted himself. Full disclosure, my father is a lawyer, and my grandmother was a lawyer, so I feel that I know a good attorney when I meet one. We consulted with Nick about the case, and found out that he won a big settlement against a major corporation a few years ago, and going against big companies doesn't phase him. He evaluated what we laid out, and agreed to represent us, and we are very satisfied with his work. Nick says that he cares about his cases, only second to how much the client cares, and he's right. His demeanor and conduct is way above board, but he's also a pitbull, and a procedural whiz with a very quick mind. In short, he has all the ingredients to be your best asset and your adversaries worst nightmare in litigation proceedings, and can't recommend him enough.

Hands down the worst lawyer I have ever had. Completely ineffective and at times I was wondering if he really had a law degree. Took my money when I was going through a landlord dispute after I had paid six months rent In advance. He Claimed my landlord needed to be taught a lesson and said he would ...write a strong demand and was sure it would settle as my landlord was just another bully. The minute he got my money (1500 up front) he did zero, nothing. Didn't even write the demand. I asked for a refund after 3 months of absolutely nothing. I asked him to prove he wrote the letter and that he had any communication to solve this at all. He had no letter that he had written He was rude and arrogant and so I'll mannered it was shocking. He wrote back to me when I complained and asked for a refund since he clearly did not do anything and of course he just rudely refused . Do not use him. Absolutely horrendous.

We had a case that was so badly handled by another attorney , we had to quickly replace him. Nick took over the case ,and proved to be excellent. His knowledge, expertise, confidence and strong ,good arguments won the case.At every step of the way, he or his team was available, answered questions an...d expertly litigated this case. His documents forwarded to the other side were superbly crafted, and his presentation to the court was top notch.I honestly cannot say enough good things about him.
