Real estate consultations

I had a complicated legal issue that left me uncertain about my options and how best to move forward. After speaking with several firms, I chose Vrej’s office because of his professionalism, clear communication, and genuine concern for my case. From the beginning, Vrej and his team took the time t...o fully understand my situation, explain my options in plain language, and guide me step by step. What stood out most was their responsiveness—every question I had was answered promptly and thoughtfully, which gave me tremendous peace of mind during a stressful time. The results we achieved were even better than I expected. Not only was the matter resolved efficiently, but the outcome had a direct and positive impact on my life, removing a huge burden and allowing me to move forward with confidence. I am deeply grateful for the care, expertise, and dedication Vrej demonstrated throughout the process. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and client-focused attorney.

Highly Recommend Vrej for Eviction Services

I engaged Vrej to take over a challenging eviction case, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. My previous legal representation had proven to be ineffective, with 13 to 15 court filings returned due to errors or incompleteness. This had led to immense frustration, as the process to remove ...non-paying tenants, who had become squatters, was nearing a year with little progress. I found Vrej through ARAG's employment law benefit. From our initial conversation, he immediately instilled a sense of confidence, despite some initial hesitation regarding payment details. Once he formally took on the case, he swiftly resubmitted all necessary paperwork, demonstrating a clear understanding of the legal requirements. What truly set Vrej apart was his consistent communication. Unlike my previous experience where I had to constantly chase updates, Vrej proactively kept me informed every step of the way. This transparency was incredibly reassuring. Thanks to Vrej's dedication and expertise, the squatters were successfully evicted in less than three months from when he took over the case. His professionalism and commitment made it possible for me to move into my house, and I am incredibly grateful for his efficient and effective work.

Excellent lawyer and a wonderful person!

It was a stroke of luck and a gift of fate to meet such a lawyer as Mr. Vrej. He took on my Landlord/Tenant case, where I represented the Landlord. I am an elderly woman and the tenant, realizing my helplessness, allowed himself to commit unacceptable, illegal antics. Drugs, drunken showdowns with ...friends and a woman. Did not pay rent, broke a window in my house, damaged the door of my car and much more. To my indignation, he replied: "No one except you saw this, so you can't prove anything." When I contacted various law firms, it turned out that almost all of them protect the interests of tenants. And some lawyers said that we would definitely lose the case, since due to the lack of experience when filing a claim, we made a few of inaccuracies. And only the company "Law Firm of Vrej Garabedian" and Mr. Vrej himself said: "We will fight!" And he not only gave us hope, but also achieved a court decision in our favor. We were proud of him, because he defended us with a sense of professional dignity, culture and superiority of his knowledge. Intelligent, smart, handsome in all respects, sincere and really ready to come to the aid of everyone. You simply cannot find a better lawyer! I recommend Mr. Vrej to everyone as an excellent lawyer and a wonderful person! Mr. Vrej, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Lioudmila Novikova

"I've known Vrej for many years in Contra Costa County. We've even had a major litigation against each other. When litigating against Vrej, I found him to be an extremely intelligent, hard-working, and responsive attorney. Having an opposing counsel who is very responsive to your communications is important and really helps move a matter forward. Thanks to his communication abilities, we were able to work towards resolving the matter. I look forward to litigating against him in future cases and would recommend Vrej."
