This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Property Line Dispute

A neighbor of mine had a property survey done a few years ago and stated that my driveway was on her property and that she wanted to cut out part of my driveway to landscape. We've been in our house for over 14yrs. My neighbor and I tried to compromise where my driveway would be left alone and she ...wasn't happy with that so she threatened to get a lawyer and said we are trespassing. So, I contacted Mr. Stromberg for a free consultation and he advised me that I had legally acquired by law a "Prescriptive Easement" which meant that I could use my driveway as I always have and that she no longer has the legal right to alter that driveway without my permission because she didn't file a claim against me within the 1st 5 years. With this legal knowledge, it gave me the confidence that the law was on my side and that she would have to compromise to make this work. So, thanks to Mr. Stromberg's advice and expertise, my neighbor and I worked out a compromise where both sides were in agreement and we didn't have to go to court to solve it. I would definitely recommend Mr. Stromberg if you need legal advice or need to hire an attorney. Thanks again.

Supportive and understanding

Very very pleasant, knowledgeable and supportive. Asked questions, listened and provided understanding. I will hire him if the situation worsens.

Prompt, Knowledgeable, and Reasonable.

We wanted someone to review our HOA's CC&R and advise us of our rights and liabilities. Within 48 hours of receiving our inquiry he emailed us back with detailed and helpful analysis. His fee for reviewing our CC&Rs was also very reasonable. We believe that he sincerely wishes to help, rather th...an building up hours and fees. We strongly recommend him.

An absolutely terrific attorney

Mr. Stromberg represented me in a real estate dispute. I hired him because of his years of experience and because he was the past President of the Real Estate Section of the local Bar Association. Mr. Stromberg kept me fully informed throughout the representation and was always looking out for my b...est interests. He was cost conscious and only did the work that he believed would move my case forward to resolution. I absolutely recommend him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
