Lack of Diligence, Poor Advocacy

Attorney Review: Manisha Bajaj (KTS) Avoid retaining attorney Manisha Bajaj of Kimball, Tirey & St. John LLP. In my experience, her filings were repeatedly dismissed for not being compliant with the law, which demonstrates a serious lack of diligence and professional care. Ms. Bajaj: • Fails ...to follow the law and pushes forward frivolous filings • Constantly threatens to take the case to trial but never does • Has lied under oath and shown disregard for ethical standards • Appears overwhelmed and frazzled with her caseload, rushing through matters without proper preparation • Prioritizes billing clients rather than protecting their interests These repeated filings and dismissals waste court resources and cost clients unnecessary legal fees without producing results. While some positive reviews of her work are more than a decade old, her current practice reflects otherwise. ***She is regularly at the Van Nuys Courthouse (6230 Sylmar Ave, 3rd floor, Dept. H), where anyone can observe her in action and see for themselves. Recommendation: Before considering retaining her, I strongly suggest reviewing the case history and observing her performance in court. My personal experience confirms she is not an effective advocate and cannot be relied upon to handle cases with the diligence and professionalism clients deserve.

A fair lawyer with integrity

What first impressed me about Manisha is, when I called her office the first time to get some advice, I was immediately connected with her, personally. She spent about a half hour on the phone with me, listening to my situation and telling me what I should do and what she could do for me, without cha...rge. I hired her to help me with a situation with my landlord that included illegal rental of my unit, harassment and retaliation, and violation of my quiet enjoyment. She responded to all my questions quickly and efficiently, whether by phone or email. Ultimately, she was able to get me the settlement I wanted without hassle or having to speak with my landlord at all. I felt comfortable with her professional representation in the case and she always asked me what I wanted to do before responding to the other side. She was helpful and accommodating to my financial concerns, not overcharging me for time or services, and up-front about her billing fees right from the start. I'm very happy I found Manisha and hired her to work with me. A very happy "customer"!

Very informative and efficient!!!

I hired Manisha for a real estate matter, I had her review my case, she was very proactive and good in explaining in simple terms which I was able to comprehend. I felt very comfortable in asking her questions and she clarified all my doubts and concerns. I highly recommend her and would refer her to... my colleagues.

A Legend in the Making

Manisha took on a very complex case. A lot of attorneys did not want to take my case because they were afraid of Housing Authority City of Los Angeles. What did she do? Drug use has been going on for 8 years in the apartment complex. Housing Authority City of Los Angeles did not want to do anyt...hing about it. They hired a few management companies to deal with the tenants. The management company did not want to deal with the complaints so it was easier for them to try to harass and evict the people who submit the complaints. When I hired Manisha, she forced the management company to do their job and had them evict the drug users. Since I kept getting harassed by the management company, Manisha helped me get into a new home (apartment complex). Manisha stopped the harassing phone calls, and letters. She supported me 100% and fought for me. The great news is she won my case. She is very professional and keeps you up to date. If you want an attorney who will support you and will not abandoned you, give her a call. I am very lucky I found Manisha. It took 4 years to find a attorney who would take the case and she was the one!

Excellent Attorney, Would Highly Reccomend

I hired Manisha for a complex property lawsuit and I'm glad I did because ultimately, she won the case in my favor. Throughout the span of the lawsuit, Manisha always had a positive update for me and kept me updated every step of the way. She is an honest attorney who will always let her clients know... what is in the best interests for them. I wanted to counter sue the plaintiff in the properly lawsuit and Manisha was honest and advised me not to continue with the counter suit as the chances of me ultimately winning any award looked very slim because the plaintiff did not have much to offer and I would unnecessarily be paying her attorneys fees without much return. I know that many other attorneys would have advised to continue the suit but was Manisha was very honest and will always let her clients know what's best for them. I highly reccomend you hire Manisha for any property issues you may be dealing with, you'll be glad you did.
