Thank You!

I received a notice from my ISP that Strike 3 LLC tried to obtain my information. Steve addressed all my concerns and explained how he would proceed in the first call. In the end, he was able to obtain a favorable outcome and I am very happy with the result. Thank you again for guiding me through th...e whole process and obtaining a great outcome on my behalf.

You are welcome! Yes, that is a common occurrence in a BitTorrent litigation case with Strike 3 Holdings as Plaintiff, they are ALWAYS trying to uncover your name and address. They want to know who you are, where you work and get a sense of how much money you make (in my opinion). This can factor into what the final settlement amount might be. At times, we can safeguard this information and keep things private, in other cases involving a financial hardship, we may have to turn this over to get a better deal. Regardless, we make sure we know which option is best for you and fight to protect your interests. Thank you for taking the time to comment, we appreciate having you as a client. Steve

Anxiety?

When you receive the notice of a pending subpoena to unmask your privacy, you can easily fear that your life has become unglued. Spouse, job, reputation- ANXIETY! You want this to go away and unfortunately simply ignoring the problem isn’t a viable solution. I needed someone whom I could trust, who... was non-judgmental and had experience in dealing with these bottom feeders and to whom I could transfer my fear and anxiety. I reviewed many websites addressing representation against the copyright trolls who were attacking me, and I found Steve Vondran’s posts the most professionally informative of the lot. I liked his style and perspective and picked up my phone and called him. His assistant Lisa responded and I knew pretty quickly that she and Steve would be a good fit for me. With them, I didn’t feel like I was being fed into a settlement grinder which would throw me into a wholesale trade to maximize everyone’s profit but mine. They weren’t going to play on my fears and anxiety but instead help lift that burden with me. Nor was my situation likely to drag out while my sleep deteriorated. I felt that I became part of a lean team which had my back - they knew the SOBs but were not part of them, Steve and Lisa would be there for me and move expeditiously to settle this so my life could move on. The results? Within 3 weeks my matter was done, settled within the original financial parameters to which I had agreed with Steve as being a victory of sorts, based in large part on his getting to know the salient facts of who I was, and my personal circumstances and objectives. While I hope never to have to hire Steve and Lisa again, they would again be my first choice, and I recommend them for your consideration as well. As Jimmy Buffet said “ Breath in, breath out, move on.”

Wow, thank you for taking the time required to write such a nice review. It's clients like you that give us the continued inspiration to fight for our clients. You hit on a great word "ANXIETY" having handled hundreds of Strike 3 ISP subpoena cases, I can tell you that most of our clients experience anxiety. Mainly, because you are dealing with the unknown. Second, you are dealing with the legal system which can be a very confusing process. Aside from trying to settle your case as quickly as possible (to get rid of the knot in the stomach that many feel), and get the best settlement possible, we like to make it a part of our representation to explain the process and possibly even learn a thing or two. So, yes we are cognizant of this and like Blake Shelton said "doing our best to make the best of the worst of it." All the best in your future endeavors and thank you for your thoughtful input. We really enjoyed having you as a client.

My faith in humanity restored.

Lisa was extremely helpful when I called and explained all my legal options in great detail entirely for free on our first call. She was by far the most helpful person I had spoke to in weeks of calling lawyers. The next day she calls me back and to my complete surprise tells me Steve is taking on my... case pro-bono, and then proceeds to get my case resolved within a single week! They seem like genuine honest people who care about others and their community. Highly recommended.

Thank you for the review. Pro bono services is something we take serious here at Vondran Legal®. While the California State bar does not "require" it, we feel this is a professional obligation where we find that (rare) case that "checks all the boxes." Lisa informed me this was a case she would like to try to help out on. When she talks, Attorney Steve® listens and we decided to handle the case on a pro bono basis. We were able to achieve an absolutely phenomenal closure to the case. Most Strike 3 BitTorrent cases cannot be done on a pro bono basis, we were very happy to help you out. Thanks for much for the comment and have a great holiday season. Steve Vondran, Esq.

Amazing Care

When I received the letter from Strike Holding 3 of asking ISP to provide my information, I was completely puzzled and scared. After searching for several law firms that have dealt with this plaintiff, Lisa reached back out and gave me a quick call the earliest; and it was on the weekend as well. Ste...ve and Lisa were attentive and caring; they explained and consulted me through everything. Finally, they resolved the issue quickly with a result that I couldn't ask for more. Highly satisfied with the team and cannot recommend them enough.

Thanks for the nice words. Yes, we typically work weekends and will call you back on Saturdays and even Sundays. We understand it is no fun to be dealing with a serious legal issue so we take pride in getting right back to our clients and potential clients to help address their questions, needs and concerns. I also appreciate noting that many of our clients do contact other lawyers before settling on our firm. I usually say if you are going to be calling around, call us LAST so you can really notice the difference in your choice of counsel. Our firm is the clear leader in handling Strike 3 cases in California and in this area of law, there really is no substitute for experience. Thank you again for putting your trust in Vondran Legal® and taking the time to post your comments. All the best! Attorney Steve.

Fair Use Letter - Documentary

Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with, and more importantly did an excellent job with the Fair Use letter for our film, our documentary was called Mentally Al and Steve was absolutely a life saver with this project as we had a few speed bumps before we employed him and he was ultimately instrum...ental in helping us get over the finish line with our release, he was extremely knowledgeable on the subject and great at easily and simply explaining the information. Steve went way above and beyond for us on several occasions and we really could not be happier with his services. We highly highly recommend. Thanks so much again Steve!

Thank you Dan! I can hardly refer to it as "work" when reviewing such a funny film like Mentally Al, but I did enjoy working with you and helping you get this film into the end zone so to speak! Fair use opinions are one of my favorite areas of law as I get to meet great creative people and talents like you and your team. It was a joy to have Al himself on a call. I look forward to watching the film as it garnishes accolades. All the best! Steve
