Great Advice and Dependable Service
I hired Mr. Alden's office to assist me with a purchase and startup of a new dental practice in the East Bay. This was my first major business venture, so I relied heavily on Mr. Alden's guidance and advice. From the beginning, he was very responsive, answered my questions, gave suggestions, and pr...
"Vadim and I worked together at a prior law firm. He is very intelligent, spots the important issues quickly, and zeroes in on what needs to be done."
"I've had the opportunity to work with a couple of mutual clients that Vadim Alden and I shared. Vadim is a responsive, knowledgeable and experienced litigator. I highly recommend Vadim because know I can refer clients to him with confidence that the client will be well-served in business and litigation matters."
"Vadim is an exceptional business attorney. He has an unusually sharp ability to focus on what matters the most in a case - this results in great efficiency, and excellent results for value. Highly recommended."
"Vadim is an excellent attorney. He has very impressive academic credentials. He has also worked successfully in mid- and large-sized law firms. Now running his own law firm, Vadim continues to provide top-notch service to his clients--in many different areas. You will find him intelligent and personable. For these reasons, I would hire Vadim myself."
"Vadim always puts the client's needs first. As a seasoned lawyer, he has worked on a wide variety of matters, and therefore can quickly determine a course of action that will actually solve the dispute, as opposed to unnecessarily increase legal bills. His professional demeanor is impeccable and I wholehartedly recommend him."
"Vadim is an excellent and experienced attorney with expertise in a broad range of transactional and litigation matters. I would, and do, unhesitatingly recommend him to those seeking good counsel."
"I have known Mr. Alden for several years and worked with him in an employment and business legal matter. He is diligent, attentive and highly analytical. He is a reliable, trust-worthy, and hard-working attorney who brings practical solutions to complex legal matters. It was a pleasure working with him and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I highly recommend him."
"Vadim is a very knowledgeable and personable attorney. He is easy to work with and know for a fact that client communications is a priority for him. Vadim is a reasonable person and will work to quickly and efficiently resolve whatever legal issue his client is facing. I strongly encourage any would-be client to give Vadim a call. -Trevor"
"I went to law school with Vadim and we started our careers together at the same firm. I have known him to be particularly driven and motivated as a lawyer, as well as one who doesn't settled for what's "in the can" when he sees an opportunity to expand and improve on whatever issue he is facing. He maintains credible relationships with co- and opposing counsel such that communicating and negotiating with him at arms-length is valued, appreciated and makes a difference for his clients. He focuses on the task at hand but is not short-sighted, he thinks down the line and big picture. He is a very fine attorney and advocate."
"Mr. Alden is a hard-working, honest person and attorney. He has broad based experience and in-depth knowledge of litigation, both big and small, and he has also obtained excellent results for his clients in transactional matters. His ability to effectively communicate complex ideas and strategies is a real strength. Moreover, while he is easy to get along with and work with, he is able to effectively put on his advocate hat when that is required. In addition, his business savvy is an incredible asset to his clients, particularly his small business clients. In short, I would trust Mr. Alden with my most complex matters, be they contentious litigation or complicated transactions, without hesitation."
"Vadim is a very intelligent and capable lawyer who understands that being counsel to small businesses involves more than providing "legal advice" - it requires being genuinely interested in, and getting to really know, the client's business. This then enables Vadim to go beyond simply providing the legally correct "answer" and instead providing sound and practical advice that the client can actually use. Vadim excels in this regard."
