Wishing Horvath the best

We hired Stephen Horvath and his team back in May of 2023 and started off amazingly. Great follow up, solid conversations and showed up with tons of conviction to the meeting. It quickly turned though for the worse. We stopped getting next steps, we were left in the dark and he would disappear for we...eks and some times months at a time with no clear action items to only find out he had no clear knowledge of a simple eviction. We genuinely tried coming to a simple conclusion and offered to just have our thousands of dollars refunded and we each go our separate directions and he stated he would be more responsive and follow up, which unfortunately only lasted a few days. Here we are almost 1.5 years later and the tenant is still there, with alterations to our property, with it being subleased and no end in site. Last communication was back in April of this year (roughly over 5 months ago) and the State Bar has already stepped in and approved the case and will be seeking action which we truly tried to avoid. I truly wish Horvath the best but if I were reading this you may want to visit other options or you may be stuck having to fight 2 battles. One with the issue you started with and an other with the attorney you hired.

Terrible

Super long delays in communication. Never answers the phone. No secretary or answering service. Takes days to call beck. Dragged the case out so long that we lost thousands more from his inaction and delays alone. My advice is to stay away.

Never responds or commnicates

Absolutely the worst attorney. He never responds or updates you regarding your case. For over 8 months I've been trying to contact him leaving emails, text messages, and voice mails. He never responds. After 8 months he emails me saying he's filing for substitute of attorney. Doesn't provide any upda...te where my case is. I'm finding out I'm being sanctioned for no action to my case. WARNING DO NOT USE HIM!
