Very practical

We hired Schorr Law to help us with a few different real estate matters. We began by consulting with them on the purchase of a property and then wound up going back to Zach for continued advice throughout escrow. He was able to give both a legal and practical perspective that made the issues easy ...to understand. We are happy we found this firm and to have access to their real estate knowledge.

Perfman e delivered beyond expectations

I had the opportunity to work with Zach and his team in a few different but matters. One was a difficult collection matter on a real estate matter which he successfully brought to trial. I saw him perform very comfortably in front of the judge. Remarkable in fact. He got us to trial quickly and ...the judge appreciated his level of preparedness. He also helped advised me on a real estate deal I was considering and had good perspective and insight. Very reasonable approach and always hitting a cost benefit approach so I could make a good choice and figure my case out monetarily.I can't recommend them enough.

Insightful and Efficient Real Estate Attorney

I hired Zachary Schorr and his firm to help me with both a real estate transaction I was doing and ongoing litigation. For the transaction, Zach provided me with valuable insight on a multi-million dollar transaction I was negotiating and provided insight my broker did not provide. In the litigatio...n, he quickly got my case to judgment and counseled me along the way about cost benefit which I found useful.

Great Lawyer for Arbitration

I hired Mr. Schorr to help with with an arbitration. He came to the case with knowledge about real estate law and appraisals and was able to really think on his feet during cross-examination of experts because he knew the ins and outs of the case and the law in such a way that he could pin the exper...ts down and find their inconsistencies. We ultimately prevailed in the arbitration and I could not be happier with the results Mr. Schorr obtained. He took the time to explain his strategy to me and I really appreciated being included in all aspects of the case.

won my real estae case but charged exorbitant fees and wanted to change deed of trust with his name

This lawyer won my real estate case but charged exorbitant fees over $300,000.00 and tried to concince me to change the deed of trust on my home to include him. He also threatened liens and to lock down all my assets knowing that I had a lot of equity in my home. He hired 4 different lawyers while ex...panding his law practice during my case(Rachael Shinoskie , Michael Ouizel, stephanie Goldstein, Mina Kim ) who charged exorbitant fees using "Block billing" raking in thousands of dollars daily even after the trial was over. Many of these fees were redundant,unneccessary like charging for witnesses when there were none, jury phone calls to court when this was not a jury case.. !

Replied last October 13, 2015

Both the underlying court and a panel of three binding arbitrators appointed to review this matter have declared this former client to be not credible. This review is untrue and we encourage potential clients to look at the numerous other positive reviews on this site. We regrettably took this client's case after she had fired or had been fired by five other attorneys. We won her case and got her a judgment valued at approximately $2 million, which she, her five prior attorneys and even the judge thought was impossible. Our fees are more than reasonable and have been declared the same by an independent review. And, although many firms would have charged far more than $300,000 for the amount and complexity of work involved in this case, we did not charge anywhere close to that amount. Our attorneys spent countless, nights, weekends and holidays working on this case to obtain results so remarkable that the Judge stated, “I have been incredibly impressed with the amount of work and the quality of work that has been done. I think the [client] would have been well-served had Mr. Schorr been her counsel [since the beginning].” The judge further stated to Mr. Schorr, “[y]ou were so good in this trial that you convinced me that the law requires that your client win. And, so, I struggled and kicked and fought because it wasn’t particularly the outcome I wanted to have.” This review is particularly upsetting because (despite the tremendous results we obtained for this client), she refuses to pay us, which has resulted in Schorr Law coming out of pocket to pay outside vendors over $10,000 on her behalf. Her refusal to pay her bills was the subject of a binding arbitration which we won and have since converted to a binding judgment against her. The Arbitration Panel ordered her to pay our fees and costs and said that it "does not find [the client's] testimony credible." Her allegations regarding the deed of trust to her home are also untrue. Quite the opposite, as a courtesy, we looked for creative ways to extend her credit during the litigation. Unfortunately, our acts of kindness backfired, and once we won her case, she refused pay the line of credit that we had extended her during the litigation. After our unfortunate experience with this client, we screen our prospective client more carefully and are far more selective in the clients we agree to work with. Schorr law has now been around for almost 10 years and our employees and growth have everything to do with the success we constantly achieve for our many client and the strong relationships we build. Our hard work and creative arguments have resulted in millions of dollars in client awards and savings.
