Very Knowledgable * Excellent Experience!

I contacted Bornstein & Bornstein yesterday regarding a tenant matter. I was able to speak with someone on the phone and they scheduled an appointment for Dan Bornstein to speak with me the following morning. I had a phone conversation with Daniel Bornstein this morning. I found Daniel personable..., knowledgeable and he helped with solutions to my tenant issues. I would highly recommend his law office! I will use him in the future or refer him to friends and family.

Did NOT respond to clients

In order to speak with Daniel, we had to pay in advance $200 for 30 minutes. The meeting only lasted for 15 minutes. He didn't offer much advises and he was in a hurry. I followed up with several emails to proceed, but he never responded. What a waste of time and $200.

MR. DANIEL BORNSTEIN: TOP NOTCH ATTORNEY

I contacted Mr. Daniel Bornstein with my concerns that my tenant was subletting my property in violation of our lease agreement. I feared losing all rights to my greatest asset, and truly my only asset, my property. Mr. Bornstein guided me through the legal process with ease. His judicious use of m...y time and resources was very impressive. He was a tremendous help to me. He has all the qualities one looks for in an attorney: a razor sharp focus, a sound understanding of the law, a swift plan of action, and a sense of fairness to all parties involved.

Helpful Attorney,

I am a real estate agent in San Francisco and we have complicated landlord/tenant laws. Whenever a client has a need for legal help having to do with tenant issues I immediately recommend them to Daniel Bornstein. Daniel has helped several clients of mine and the clients have been very satisfied wit...h his expertise and representation. Daniel is also a great help in answering questions agents have and answers them quickly and concisely. I highly recommend him.

Top Notch Attorney

This is the second time we have used Daniel's services with outstanding results. In my position as a tech executive I interact with a myriad of attorneys in a variety of disciplines. I can say unequivocally Daniel is the best attorney I have come across. Daniel is results driven, forthright, hyper...-efficient with funds, works with laser precision and is concise in communication. He makes best use of funds with his client's interests first and foremost. He possesses deep domain expertise, able to synthesize the finer nuances of San Francisco real estate law into a cogent strategy and execute. We trust him implicitly and he operates with the highest ethical standards. Our last case was legally complex and contentious on many levels. We would definitely use Daniel's services in the future and recommend him to clients seeking a top notch attorney.
