Binh Bui cost me thousands of dollars :(

I was experiencing severe neglect from my landlord in downtown Los Angeles. There was a pipe that exploded in my wall and a couple years later, mold started forming around my unit. I went ahead and paid for a certified mold inspection, which yielded positive results of 6 different types of mold. O...n Binh's recommendation, I went to Kaiser to get a check up. The doctor wrote that I was having an allergic reaction to the presence of mold. I consulted with Binh once I got the paperwork indicating this. All of a sudden, Binh says, oh you should go back and pay for an additional visit, because they didn't explicitly say X,Y, and Z. I thought to myself, wow, if you would have consulted me better, I could have gotten this done on my first visit. Anyways, Binh recommended that I move out of the unit. I questioned this, because I felt like the mold could have been properly remediated OR my landlord could have given me a different unit in the 250+ unit apartment building, if he was willing to send a letter to my landlord, give him a call, or do SOMETHING. My apartment was at a very affordable price, and the landlord was willing to move me to a different unit at the same exact price. Binh recommended that I move out immediately instead of doing anything on my behalf. He explained that my case would look better. I asked him if there were any time limits that would affect my case. He told me that there are statutory time limits, but my health problems would be reason enough for me to have a good shot at winning my case. Long story short, due to being advised poorly by Binh, I lost access to a new affordable apartment unit that was locked into rent control at a low cost. He didn't do any work whatsoever, and was never available to take my calls or advise me. Him and his firm simply take on too many cases and have no desire to help tenants with medical issues or inhabitability issues. They charge 50% of the winnings of any case. If you want somebody to help you figure out legal issues, DO NOT CONTACT THIS FIRM.

Courteous, Professional, Brave and informative

Binh Thanh Bui was the sole attorney thus far that took the time to respond. He reminds me of attorneys from yesteryear. The one's who really took the time and either provided a person with knowledge and/or took them on as a client. I am absolutely certain that if an attorney took the time to listen,... review my pictures, letters, emails, etc... they would take my case. I am hoping to move out. The mold, leaks that pour not drip, stove that caught fire but didn't get replaced until 1-year afterwards and much more has caused mental anguish and health issues. This awesome attorney gave a darn. I greatly appreciate him. I am still looking for an attorney. I can't get molds tests/Orkin because they wont cross on to private property or sign a contract with me without owners permission. Living in untenable issues since 2017. Escalated issues from 2019 to present. Regardless, Thank you Binh Thanh Bui. Any client would be lucky to have you represent them.

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.
