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.

Fantastic experience

I have worked with Barak Lurie and Brent Kramer for nearly 5 years, through an incredibly sophisticated and complex financial lawsuit (with me as the Plaintiff). My opponents were well funded and highly experienced. Litigation is always incredibly difficult and painful for the parties, but the team a...t Lurie & Seltzer got behind my case and went over and above their duties to minimize that pain. They stood up, not only for me, but for my family, and they 'stayed the course' and never once hesitated. If you are going into any legal battle, you need to know that your team are 100% rock solid and will not back down, no matter how powerful your opponent is. My opponents did everything they could to shake us off, but Brent and Barak were relentless. Its exactly what I wanted from my attorneys. What most impressed me was their ability to grasp the very subtle and nuanced business and technical concepts in my case, and translate them into compelling and persuasive legal arguments. They were sharp, accurate and on time for everything (you would be surprised how many attorneys are not). I will never forget what they did for me and my family. If you have a case, and you are fortunate enough for them to agree to take it on and represent you, you can be absolutely assured that your interests are being represented by the best in the business. Do yourself and your case a favor. Retain them. Best decision I made.

The Best Real Estate Attorney in CA

Extremely knowledgeable, professional and I highly, highly recommend Mr. Lurie and his team. I had an URGENT legal matter pertaining to a Real Estate transaction in which I was a buyer. On the day of our Closing, the Seller threatened to pull out of the Sale (just hours before the deadline to close)... if I (as the buyer) did not agree to sign a specific document releasing the Seller of any Liability, after the Seller was in Breach of Contract. Painted into a corner, I had no idea what to do or what my rights were and what next steps I should take. I contacted Mr. Lurie's office at about noon with my urgent matter (deadline of 4pm). Within 30 minutes, I heard back and had a scheduled call with Mr. Lurie within the hour. Mr. Lurie listened to my situation and immediately provided me the legal guidance as to what I should do next and how we should legally proceed. Mr. Lurie calmly assured me that he was an expert in Real Estate matters and guided me to a VERY successful resolution. Aside from closing the deal, I got everything I wanted , and more. I could not be more thankful to Mr. Lurie and his team for helping me in a very timely manner for a very urgent matter. I highly recommend Mr. Lurie's law firm and will definitely turn to him again for any Real Estate matters I encounter. Thank you for the great service!

multi case court action

I was being sued for $9.5 million by large corporation. I hired Barak and our long journey began. Barak negotiated a $267,000.00 with corporation. We then sued to get back the $267,000.00. We won over $500,000.00. plus we won $1,000,000.00 from defendant who owed for unpaid loan. Unfortunately the... $1,000,000.00 was under a defunct corporation. We then sued for alter ego, Barak being the foremost litigator in this field, we won that case with defendant settling for $2,000,000.00. To say I am pleased with Barak would be the greatest understatement I could make. Barak is the finest litagator in California, bar none.

Barak is the Best

Barak and his partners are now the only counsel I would trust with any business matters/issue. Barak helped me reach settlement quickly and very cost effectively on a very difficult tenancy situation with my previous landlord. His knowledge, trustworthiness, and integrity is unparalleled in any pro...fession. I can't stress the fact enough how well he kept me informed and abreast on every legal facet and strategy we encountered from initial claim to final settlement details and negotiation. If you have a difficult business or real estate legal matter you believe you have a case on you must talk to Barak and his excellent staff. Thank you so much Barak you are simply the best!
