My go to lawyer to get the job done!!!

I worked with Mr. Binh on my landlord mold issue, and he was incredibly effective. He immediately contacted the landlord and successfully negotiated a settlement. The process unfolded exactly as he described, and we received our payout. I would definitely use his services again and highly recommend h...im to others.

Not real or professional at all big scam!

I have been with them for almost a year for my landlord and Corcoran California. I gave them all tangible evidence been emailing and calling for weeks and months. No one is answering everybody he works with Which seems to be 12 Different people! Just run down hire them I don’t know if all the lawyers... in California are a scam but this is the second second one the first one scammed me out of $1000 at least they didn’t ask me for any money upfront so which made them seem more legit, but I don’t understand why they aren’t actively handling the cases if it was the other way around The landlord can totally ruin our lives, but when it comes to the tenets right, it seems to be hard to get a hold of somebody or hold accountable ! California state bar and the federal Bureau of investigation all need to investigate all of these things!

Hi Maquade, We've never asked you for money, we do not charge upfront and you would never send any money to us--rather it's us who will send you money. So if you think my firm is a scam, we must part ways. We also told you at the time you signed that the process averages 18 months. You signed up June 2024, it's only been 6 months. Yes, we do have 12 different people working on your case. These are complicated cases requiring different expertise, paralegals, real estate agent, etc.

Unprofessional

Ben Bowie has been my attorney for over four years never responds to emails maybe possibly a week later hires unprofessional workers to do his bids. I have to call him email him doesn’t respond until several days later waited three years to receive $4000 which is not satisfactory being that the landl...ord violated .Over 15 of my rights

I have no idea what it means to hire workers to do my bids... If we had proof that the landlord violated 15 of your rights, we would have gotten you much more than $4000. As a reminder, we always get your permission to settle any case and we work on contingency. We WANT to get as much as possible since we get a percentage of the settlement. However, your case did not warrant a high amount since we had very little evidence. I wish you the best.

Awaiting outcome

2 years still on a case with tons of evidence and pages from the county with 15 violations on home me and my 10 year old son lived at etc etc . I personally would be an attorney #1 for the best interest of my clients, to look out for them , understand , feel, imagine, just fight for them you know .... All I can say is not all attorneys care about at and some do things only to benefit them . Im not gonna say much more cause my case is not over . But assured I will continue this when case ends . I will say the firm started off so nice and assuring and responded but after almost 2 years humm … all the negative reviews I’ve read believe me and I see a huge pattern and a lot of alike responses as I fall in that category to but I may have a tad bit more to discuss . I write honest reviews because I think we deserve to hear what’s true and not get screwed over . Until case ends that’s all I have to say . If anyone would like to chat about there stories with me I’m all game .

I'm sorry you feel this way. Every client has my cell phone, if there are issues you can call me directly. As a note, we tell every new client that cases average 18 months (not max, but average). And yes, there are negative reviews which I could ask Avvo to remove...but I would rather leave them on, as it means there is a learning opportunity from each negative review. The 100+ positive reviews sort of balance things out.

Great So Far, Will Update

This is going to be kinda long because it's been such a long journey getting to this point... I am in such a messy situation. Our roof started leaking in many places, and she never even came over to check it out. Not once in over a year it's been happening. She just texted me saying she couldn't affo...rd to fix it. She would even text me saying she was upset with us that it wasn't fixed yet... With nowhere else to go because we are low income, we told her we would try our best. Honestly, I was terrified of being homeless with my daughter. Needless to say, we never got it fixed because we didn't know what we were doing. We tried MANY things and spent lots of money, and we ended up with ALOT of mold EVERYWHERE. Multiple parts of our ceiling literally fell. It's such an easy case to win. Every lawyer I spoke to told me there's no way I'll lose.... But I live in a very small county. I spent WEEKS searching for a lawyer, but everyone I spoke with didn't represent my area. When I told him this, he said, "Well, let me introduce myself," and the amount of relief I felt... Binh has been very clear on instructions so far. I will say it seems a little hard to get ahold of him to get my questions answered, but someone else on his team has helped when needed, so I don't really see that as an issue. I do get really nervous sometimes and wish I could call to ask some things instead of text, but I don't really know how this works, so I'm not sure what to expect. And im not sure when he will be officially representing me, but once we get to that point, I will update my review. But I have full confidence that it will stay at 5 stars after the experience I've had with him and his team so far. I love it when people are straight to the point, no BS, and it seems that's what you get with him.

"In working and knowing Binh for 13 years, I can’t recommend him enough as an attorney in the areas of immigration, landlord-tenant, and all forms of consumer debt resolution. Binh, first and foremost, truly cares about his clients. So many attorneys see the client as a way to make a living, but Binh’s dedication to the best outcome possible brings his clients back to him, time and time again.
