Outstanding Legal Representation by Lurie & Kramer

Facing a complex defamation and libel lawsuit, I was understandably anxious about choosing the proper Attorney to handle my case. I had no clue where to start. Since I subscribe to legal services provided by Legal Zoom, I decided to contact one of the Attorney affiliates I had hired in the past. Un...fortunately, in this case, the old adage “you get what you pay for” applied. The Attorney assigned to my case was unable to articulate their strategy in my case clearly and there was absolutely no proactive follow-up informing me on the progress of my case. Needless to say, I was unhappy and started searching for another Attorney to represent me. Over the past several years, I heard AM 870 talk show radio host, Dennis Prager, extolling the virtues of his experience with Attorney Barak Lurie of the Lurie & Kramer law firm so I contacted them. I’m so glad I did! From the moment I engaged their services, I was met with a level of personal attention and professionalism that is truly unparalleled. The team at Lurie & Kramer immediately put my mind at ease with their deep understanding of the law and strategic approach. They expertly utilized the Anti-SLAPP motion, a powerful tool in defamation and libel cases, to protect my rights and interests. Their meticulous preparation and attention to detail were evident throughout the process. They took the time to understand every nuance of my case, ensuring no stone was left unturned. This personalized approach made me feel valued and confident that I was in the best possible hands. My first contact with the Lurie & Kramer law firm was with the firm’s principal attorney, Barak Lurie, a seasoned litigator with a wealth of experience in handling high-stakes cases. His strategic thinking and unwavering commitment to justice were instrumental in achieving a successful outcome in my case. Brent Kramer, another key attorney at the firm, brought a sharp legal mind and a compassionate approach to every interaction. His ability to navigate complex legal issues with ease was truly impressive. Brent also knew I was on a tight budget so he did what he could to minimize my legal expenses throughout the entire litigation process. For this, I am grateful for Brent’s representation. The successful outcome of my case is a testament to their legal acumen and unwavering commitment to their clients. Thanks to Lurie & Kramer, I was able to navigate this challenging situation with confidence and achieve a favorable resolution. I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional legal prowess and dedication to their clients. If you ever need top-notch legal representation, particularly in defamation and libel cases, I wholeheartedly recommend Lurie & Kramer. Their expertise, dedication, and personal touch make them an outstanding choice for anyone seeking justice and peace of mind.

Professional and Patient

I never thought that I would be involved in litigation. I’ve always found a path to common ground. However, after doing my best to manage an escalating real estate situation alone, I was quickly reassured after I consulted with and retained Barak. Barak and team provided continued professionalism, ...insight and patience that was tailored to address my situation and the cast of characters that emerged during my case. In the future, I will not hesitate to call Barak for proactive consultation, negotiations and/or litigation. I am so grateful for the outcome, as well as, the expertise and sensitivity to my specific situation.

Keep your eye on the big picture

I know why I initiated my lawsuit, and what I expected from legal action. My initial plan with my first attorney just wasn't working, and I felt like I just didn't have the defendants’ attention. That's when I decided to switch to a more aggressive posture. Once Barak Lurie decided to accept... my case, he was in it to win it. His team went right to work for me and kept me informed along the way, asking for my agreement, opinions or guidance with his recommended actions or responses. That boost of confidence helped me focus on my responsibilities so I wasn’t emotionally burdened while maintaining my daily life. I usually deferred to his recommendation, but at least I knew what my options were and also, what the risks were. This knowledge kept me sane during the quiet times while waiting on responses from the opposing parties. It also helped me sleep well at night, without the stress of freaking out because I wasn't sure of the probabilities of the outcome. Keeping a normal lifestyle during a lawsuit helped me focus on the big picture, and why I was involved in this lawsuit in the first place. Of course we won our case, but the job wasn’t done yet. Collecting is another matter, and this is when the real fun kicked in. There’s just something about listening to Lurie plead the defendants case options, and then shred them by citing strategies and anticipations, along with legal rules governing the defense’s actions and motions. I wanted a Bulldog approach after first seeing the defendants wiggle and stall to buy time and drag out the case. Lurie and his team got me that and more. I couldn’t be more proud than to be part of case law now, based upon legal arguments put before the court. That’s very powerful when the court agrees with you and sets precedent after the defendants try anything they can to cloud the issues. When you’re in the wrong, those arguments just don’t hold water. I count on Lurie to expose those faulty arguments and drain the swamp.

A big bill with no results

I hired Barak Lurie to represent me in a case that did not appear to be too difficult as it should have been time-barred. The main issue of this case was that the government had accused me of a fraudulent transfer of real estate into a trust some eight years ago. He sold himself as an expert in this ...area but then was not able to go the straightest route to a dismissal bun instead filed a nonmeritorious motion for a more definite statement,which was not only unsuccessful, but he charged me thousands of dollars for this disservice. This motion was denied because plaintiff US Department of Justice answered all questions in the reply to the motion. In other words, the need for a motion could have easily been avoided by a few phone conversations and e-mails. The government had sued under UFTA abd ee did not know that there is an absolute claims extinguishment period of seven years under the California UFTA, Civil Code section 3439.09 while the government had sued after 8 years. The government had told him they were right and Mr. Lurie just went with it. He told me several times what a pleasure it was to work with me while at the same time draining my resources (that was probably the source for his pleasure) and if I would not have pulled the plug after $15,000 I would certainly have lost the case. All the details and a copy of a bar complaint being filed can be found at www.RealBadLawyers.com.
