Paul Louis John Takakjian

From the day that I met Paul in regards to my case he was extraordinarily helpful, insightful, and supportive. He, and his partners, outlined everything there was to know, from what to do next (and what not to do) to what to expect from a timing and process perspective. Unfortunately my need to u...se Paul's services came as a result of a devastating incident that had me in disbelief of what reality really was. Paul took the time to make sure that all questions were answered and that all expectations were properly set. Paul was extremely proactive through every step of the process and kept me well informed of where we were at with the investigation and then the case itself. Would highly recommend Paul for his knowledge in this arena as well as his utmost professionalism that he provides.

At first I thought he was a top notch attorney...but after he did not file my petition in the proper venue (as stated by DOJ) and missed the deadline to correct it....I lost my property to the government! I feel that I was seriously wronged on that issue. Not only did he charge an extremely large s...um over $25,000 for a possession case but he also has not followed through in helping me close the matter. He does not return my emails and my case is still hanging in the gray area of an out-of-county transfer. I have completed all requirements but almost a year later nothing has been done to get the case closed. I would never recommend him.

I've had the opportunity to work with a team so caring and passionate about their jobs. My first interaction was with Paul's legal assistant Sergio Q. I was referred to other lawyers but after countless phone calls, i was always drawn to this firm. My circumstances weren't so good and i realized the ...consequences of my actions although what was legally written and just the perception of it isn't what it seemed. Sergio took the time to talk to me and reassurred my fears. I have an 18month old daughter who depends on me financially, for security and for love. Sergio answered all my questions, reassured me and kept his promise. The day of my court date, Paul took the time out of his busy schedule to talk to me. And that made me more comfortable and more thankful how lucky i was to be treated not like just another case, but just as a person they truely wanted to help. I work for a corporate company and collaborate with lawyers all the time and I've encountered lawyers that made you think twice about what their intentions are for being in the field. With that mindset, my worst fear kicked it. I needed someone who would take the time to understand my situation and that is what sergio did. And to know that paul took the time made it even better. Being a single mom, i was worried about finances but they worked with me on that and i can not express how thankful i am. After this experience, it made me really think about alot of things going forward, and to those seeking the best lawyer - i highly recommend this firm especially Paul and Sergio.
