Mr Bui

Mr. Bui took a landlord and tenant case for my fiancé and I, I couldn’t be happier! He and his team were very thorough and professional throughout an unusually lengthy process due to covid. I was living in an inhabitable apartment, in a complex with a horrific management team. Ilya and his team took... the case and were fantastic through the discovery process. Throughout the process my fiancé and I were kept informed about every move that was made on our behalf. He and his team won the case for my fiancé and I. We could not thank them enough and will recommend them to everyone who is having issues with their living situation! Would recommend to anyone!!!

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE LAW FIRM/DISGRACE TO LEGAL COMMUNITY

VERY ARROGANT. NO FIERCE ADVOCACY ON CONTINGENCY. The only time Binh Bui contacted was when it was time to collect settlement money. He appeared out of nowhere. Before then, ZERO. He talked down to me; talked to me like he's superior. NOT VESTED AT ALL IN MY CASE. MOST TELLING IS THAT NOBODY IN THIS ...FIRM EVER ASKED ME WHAT I WANTED OR CARED WHAT I WANTED. Only explanation from this law firm: I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. Translation: We don't care what you think or any input from client. This firm NEVER cared about me, justice for me, and ignored all of the landlord's illegal actions. THEY ONLY WANTED TO GET IN AND GET OUT WITH THE MONEY. And even though this law firm was supposed to be representing me, they threw me under the bus and did EVERYTHING the landlord's lawyer told them to do. BINH BUI DID NOT FIGHT FOR ME. DIDN'T CARE. I NEVER FELT THAT BINH BUI WAS FIERCELY ADVOCATED FOR ME AND THAT I WAS IN CAPABLE LEGAL HANDS. I HAD HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH BINH BUI, and I see why people don't bother hiring lawyers. EMBARRASSMENT TO LEGAL PROFESSION AND LEGAL COMMUNITY. HAVING A LICENSE TO PRACTICE LAW DOES NOT MEAN YOU GET LEGAL REPRESENTATION. HAVING BINH BUI'S LAW REPRESENTATION WAS JUST LIKE NO REPRESENTATION AT ALL. Binh Bui told me: I don't want to be your lawyer, but this is the lawyer representing me?

I remember your case, from your writing alone, and since you posted anonymous, I will keep you that way. I would like to add that it is necessary that a client agree to a settlement after many consultations. In order to get to an agreement, the client is contacted every step of the way from the opening of the negotiations, to the first amount we demand from the other side. You were with us every step of that way and we listened. You just didn't like what we had to say, which was that a case is not based on what you want, it is based on the evidence and how much a jury is likely to award. I want you to win a billion dollars (because I get a good chunk of it) but that is not going to happen, I'm sorry. I wish you well in your endeavors.

Horrible office!!!

I am amazed with these 5 star reviews as BINH BUI never returned even one call. I was pushed off to random paralegals or assistants! I asked will I ever speak to the attorney I hired? I sent all of my legal documents as asked from one assistant and signed off on the retainer. It was crickets .., ... I called repeatedly to inquire about my case in which the landlord refused to return my security deposit and will I ever speak to the attorney ? In fact when I called to inquire about status his VERY RUDE paralegal chastised me for calling once again about status and said “ good luck trying to find another attorney to take your case” I promptly ended this relationship and would NEVER work with this attorney or his equally rude team!

Hi Marianna, from what I recall, we were getting ready to file your lawsuit when you became impatient with us. To be fair to you, we were behind 2 months on filing lawsuits, but your case had no urgency and would have been 14-20 months until it settled. I do apologize for my assistant, that text was not in line with our usual office etiquette.

Relationship: Friend

"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. Further, his work is creative, and he sees litigation not as the end, but as a necessary tool, but only when needed, saving clients money and stress. Binh is a champion of the little guy in the fight. Hire him. You will not be disappointed."
