Helped Me Fight for My Rights

Binh is very reliable. When my landlord tried to wrongfully evict me, I was overwhelmed, but he guided me to understand my rights. He answered all my questions and made sure I did everything properly. He never stopped fighting until the case was resolved in my favor. He's top-notch!

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.

Run

This attorney should be reported to the bar and I intend to do so. I wasted almost a solid year of my sending them such tangible evidence. Videos, pictures, e-mails, mold testing etc. This guy has like 16 people associated with this firm. They all contact you and ask you for different things I had... building inspector documentation and health inspector documentation where my landlord was cited for over 50 violations. They still asked for more and more and more and this guy who was nice became mean. He sent me a contract several members of his team did to take my case for a whopping 20,000 dollars and suggested I vacate the premises immediately. I have never ever experienced such an incompetent firm or any business for that matter. Ofcourse I declined their offer to represent me, then I got a letter saying we are so sorry there is not enough evidence to represent you. Here’s what I truly believe either this is a Ponzi scheme or a disgusting scam where one guy passed the bar exam and has several lackeys working for him giving them a cut. He is not present at all. The contract I was sent was absolutely so illegally saying they wanted FIFTY percent. I could go on and on. Just look them up on the BBB site they have a ton of complaints.

I'm sorry you feel our evaluation of your evidence is low. We give realistic evaluations based on the evidence you provide. We also advise renters to leave a house/unit when it's unhealthy which you clearly think is so as well. I see that as being a good human being giving good advice. No one should have to live in bad conditions. You should move and sue the landlord. There is no "scam" since as you acknowledge, we estimated your case value and we would have tried to achieve those goals on a contingency basis. We've never asked you for money and never would. I wish you luck in finding another law firm.

Lies

Horrible experience- lies . He will not go to trial . He will tell you your case is max 40000. Don’t listen. Check the bar he does not get 10-30 new cases a month, or have no losses. Do your research .

Replied last January 10, 2025

We do sign up 10-30 cases per month, average is about 15. We have lost before, though not often. When we estimate your case at $40,000, that's our opinion and we always encourage people to get multiple opinions. I hope you found a firm that could meet your expectations.

"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."
