Shahbod Kerendian

Hiring Shahbod and his Kerendian Law office for a real estate matter turned out to be a mistake. When I hired Mr. Kerendian, I had a hazard on my property. So there was some urgency to get my case resolved. The problem was that his firm waited WEEKS to substitute into my case, which obviously pr...evented any filings and caused delays. Unfortunately, Mr. Kerendian’s showed no accountability or empathy and responded, "We aren't breaking any laws.” Then Mr. Kerendian proceeded to become angry and began yelling at me. Then he threatened to quit just for my wanting to discuss the matter. After the firm finally got around to filing paperwork for a default, Mr. Kerendian reached out and congratulated me afterwards for the request being entered. But the only problem was that the court documents reflected different. But the attorney figured the court erred. So I asked Mr. Kerendian to check with the clerk’s office to verify. But he refused and said we would be fine. Then months later at our next hearing, his firm ended up arguing with the judge after being informed that it had erred and our default request indeed had been rejected. Turns out that so much time and energy and money had been wasted all because the Kerendian firm failed to do their due diligence and serve all the proper parties in my case. So I found myself addressing yet another egregious error by the firm, and having to listen to Mr. Kerendian refuse to take any responsibility. Instead, the firm played the victim role and claimed they were being "attacked", then requested to be subbed out of my matter. All after I paid nearly $20,000 dollars for a case supposedly in default. Even with all the damaged caused to my case, as well as my being overcharged, the Kerendian firm refused to return the fair portion of money I requested. So my family is taking the firm to court. We also fittingly filed an official complaint with the California State Bar. I just wanted to share my experience. My mistake was that I failed to do a thorough background check, including reviewing the firm’s past court records. I am an Air Force veteran and this is my true and sworn testimony.

These are great attorneys specially if you have complex real estate case. They handle real estate and business lawsuits. My case was Purchase of a business with real estate for the business. I had issues with the bank too that financed the transaction. Happy it is over now and I had a great represen...tation.

Shab is the best lawyer. I am a business owner and few years back, I was sued by an employee who died when he was behind a truck and the loading area. I got a WC claim and also got sued for $500,000. I had an attorney first who basically told me that it was hopeless. I am glad I did not give up and ...kept looking for a new lawyer. A friend of mine referred me to Shab. He took the case and started asking questions and looked into the case. He did not give up and found enough evidence that made my case better. The details and legalese aside, Shab settled the case for a fraction. Shab saved my business. If I had not changed to him, I would have been bankrupt. I am not sure how I would have survived. Big thanks to Shab for great work. This is a great firm. They care.

I entered into a contract for the purchase of a property and the seller changed his mind. He did not want to sell. He just said that he did not want to sell and that we should get our deposit and cancel escrow. I contacted Mr. Kerendian and he explained my rights. He explained that because a real est...ate was involved, the court could order him and that the contract let us collect our legal fees. I hired him to do the work for me, and he was always available to answer my questions, and returned my calls. After few letters and discussions my lawyers had with the other side, they realized my attorney means business and although the seller delayed as much as he could, the case was resolved and I got the property. I was very happy with my attorneys and I recommend them.
