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

Competent and Compassionate Lawyer

I inherited a part interest in property in another country and was having trouble understanding what I needed to do. I talked to other lawyers but they didn't seem willing or able to spend the time it would take to do the research it required. Rich not only made the effort, but I ended up with a grea...t result. He went above and beyond, answered all my questions, and if he didn't know the answer right away, took the time to find it. I've dealt with lots of lawyers in my life. None made me feel like I was in competent hands but Rich. It is a job of course, but he also seems to have compassion and that's an unusual trait in a lawyer.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

UNETHICAL ATTORNEY

MY FATHER HIRED HIM TO REPRESENT ME ....EVEN THOUGH I AM OVER 21....I NEVER SIGNED A RETAINER AGREEMENT WITH ABDALLAH AND HE NEVER ASKED ME TO DO SO....WHEN ABDALLAH DID A DEPOSITION OF THE PERSON HE FILED AGAINST HE NEVER IMFORMED OR CONSULTED ME, THUS HIS DEPOSITION MISSED MANY KEY DETAILS TO WHICH... I HAD BEEN A PARTY. HE NEVER EVEN INFORMED ME OF SAID DEPOSITION. MY REGRET IS I DIDN'T ASK THE CALIFORNIA. STATE BAR TO DISCIPLINE HIM.

Over 12 years ago, Christopher's father hired Abdalah Law Offices to represent Christopher in a lawsuit. Christopher's father signed the retainer agreement and paid all of the legal fees. Christopher's input was taken into consideration throughout. Our firm tried the matter before a jury and received a verdict awarding to Christopher 100% of the amounts in dispute. We also collected 100% of the funds awarded to Christopher. Abdalah Law Offices strives to achieve similarly excellent results for every client.

Employment contract dispute

Mr. Abdalah successfully a contract dispute regarding employment of a care worker for my mother. We have also used him in the past to review a real estate contract. He is responsive, dedicated and someone we strongly recommend.
