Unique Lawyer!

Godsend! Yes! Michelle was a godsend to have her there just when I needed an honest lawyer to handle my lemon case! She is the best of the best in handling lemon law cases! I wanted to say thank you for helping to resolve my case quickly. I was completely dazzled by your communication skills & ...courage in handling every aspect of my case. Michelle previous experience as a criminal defense attorney during her days in Fresno, gave her an extra edge in negotiating & settling my case easily & quickly! Her knowledge of the lemon law is extensive! She did know exactly what was wrong with my car & did guide me brilliantly to solve my case quickly. She is naturally gifted & talented lawyer! She is the smartest lawyer I have ever dealt with! She is simply a “Super Lawyer”. All the other lawyers were so concerned about signing the contract first & their financial gain! But let me tell you, Michelle was different! She encouraged & guided me to try to solve the problem first on my own with the manufacture, without any contract & free of charge & when I failed she took over! I am blown away by her integrity & all the hard work she did in my behalf! She got me the best outcome possible for my lemon case, even if it wasn’t the best financial interest outcome for her! She will put you first regardless of her financial gain! I wanted to thank you for your excellent work you did as my attorney. I know you have a lot of clients, so your prompt responses and attention to detail really meant a lot to me. I cannot thank you enough for your assistance. Your legal expertise & professionalism went above & beyond my expectations throughout the course of my case. Also I want to thank Michelle’s parents for the way they raised her as her honesty & integrity speaks volumes about her character! Also I was very impressed & learned a lot from Michelle’s interviews & articles as every time I watch one of her interviews or read one of her articles, I do learn something new! I will never forget what you have done to make sure I got the best outcome. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the amazing legal work you did on my behalf. Thanks for prioritizing me as a client & doing everything in your power to help me win my case.

Outstanding

Not only did she perform well above and beyond any legal counsel would, she stepped out of her way to keep me well-informed on the step-by-step process of my case very professional and punctual regarding deadlines that we needed to keep !

Highly recommended

After researching several attorneys, I consulted with Ms. Fonseca-Kamana. She immediately put me at ease and was professional, thorough, and well versed on the nuances of the lemon law. She helped me navigate through the process always keeping me apprised of all options along the way. She was support...ive, communicated clearly and candidly about possible outcomes and was very responsive to emails and telephone calls. I credit her excellent knowledge and legal guidance to achieving a positive outcome. I highly recommend her and would definitely utilize her for further legal services if needed.

Defective Travel Trailer

I purchased a brand new trailer hoping to enjoy time outdoors with my family with the luxury of our own space and ability to take warm showers. Later a year and a half into the loan, my trailer had been in the shop multiple times. I didn’t know how I was going to get out of the loan, and dreaded havi...ng to continue the headache dealing with continuous repairs. Once in contact with Michelle she walked me through the Lemon Law process of my trailer. The process was pretty painless due to her amazing communication and patience with all my questions. I now no longer own the trailer, and have the ability and funds to purchase a new one to enjoy with my family. Thank you Michelle and your team for all your help.
