Warning

WhenI retained Dimitry as my lawyer, he seemed great over the phone, so we signed a contract based on prepaid trust account. I thought I could trust him and there wouldn’t be invoices regarding attorneys fees without prior explanation. Everything went fine until I learned that Dimitry was playing ver...y much his own game behind my back. Although I received emails from him constantly, he was hiding a few important things regarding my case. When I found out, I asked via email what was going on and his attitudes changed immediately. He didn’t take any responsibility and I started to receive rude emails from him. I fired him and asked a refund but he ignored my request. Furthermore, when he found out that I was going to fire her, she emailed me a fake invoice despite our ‘prepaid’ contract. I filed a complaint The State Bar and retained a new attorney. A few weeks later my new attorney received a long email from Dimitry , saying nasty stuff about me. It’s best to avoid him from my experiences

I think you have me confused with someone else. You do not identify yourself, so I cannot confirm if you were an actual client or what case was involved. I do not understand what you mean by "prepaid contract" - I charge for work done based on time spent. I have not received any requests for refund nor complaints (especially from State Bar), and I do not recall corresponding with a new attorney about a past client. This review seems to be in error and meant for someone else.

Smart and honest!

I hired Dimitry for my divorce case (which was taking forever), after spending more than $20,000 on an attorney and not seeing any result. Finally my ex offered me $10K to settle. So I fired my prior attorney and hired Dimitry. Dimitry completely changed the situation. Dimitry helped me get more th...an $100,000. He had my ex pay for his attorney fee, the money I wasted on previous attorney, and even put good amount of money in my pocket. I am very happy with the work Dimitry did on my case, and I would highly recommend him to everyone who is seeking an honest, smart lawyer. Dimitry is experienced and knows how to win cases. He also stayed in close contact with me at every stage. Dimitry took care of me like a close friend, and I cannot thank him enough. It is very rare to find such an incredible lawyer, with good knowledge, honest and reasonable fee.

Dimitry Saved my Home from Foreclosure

In February of this year (2010), a trustee’s sale notice was posted on my front door. My home was being foreclosed, the sale date was just three weeks away. I was about to become another statistic in the huge foreclosure crisis that has shaken this nation. After dragging its feet for several mon...ths, the bank had turned down my request for a loan modification and by then I owed $25000 in arrears. The only option appeared to be bankruptcy. This was when I turned to Attorney Dimitry Tsimberg for help. After a very thorough review, he wrote a lengthy letter to the bank detailing errors it had made in the modification calculations as well as in the foreclosure process. Much to my relief, the trustee’s sale was postponed and the bank agreed to review the modification documents. About a month later, Dimitry called me with the good news that the bank had agreed to a trial modification. Thanks to Dimitry, I have my home and a very affordable mortgage payment. My interest rate is down to 2%. After 5 years it will go up – but no more than 4%. My experience with Dimitry is that he is very thorough in analyzing a case and honest and upfront about what he can and cannot do for you. Once he takes your case, you have a bulldog on your side!

Really Helped Me

Attorney Tsimberg has a sharp mind and is very knowledgeable. I gave him a summary of my case and showed him some documents, and he understood the complete story right away and quickly figured out a good strategy. I didn't need to explain things again. I also found him to be very trustworthy - he d...id whatever was best for me and was always honest with me about my legal options and costs. My case had to be handled immediately and confidentially, and Dimitry was there for me from start to finish. Thanks! I'm happy to recommend him.
