Practical and Professional

I have an unlucky experience with a previous landlord, and Michael was super experienced with not only law terms but on-court defending. He's definitely good on both the rental and collection sides. And, in the end, he gives the most practical solution with the most efficiency.

Great 30 minute consultation - knowledgeable and patient attorney

I had called Mr. Eng for an initial 30 minute consultation. My issue involved a tenant/landlord and property damage issue. Mr. Eng was quite thorough in his explanation of the legal implications of my issue. He offered me concrete advice on what I should do and also answered all of my questions. I am... looking forward to working with him more in the near future.

Rest assured Michael is who you want in your legal team!

Michael helped me to review a real estate matter, specifically an easement dispute, I consider myself very fortunate for having his help, in summary, Michael was very thorough, patient with the many questions I had, and he was very open about the things he knew and also didn’t know, I value his cando...r and directness on the matter, no sugarcoating, but providing a realistic assessment of the risks.

Very helpful and solid advisor

Michael provide solid advice and guidance as I looked to appeal my property tax assessment value determined by the county. Although his expertise lies in a slightly different field and was not able to represent me in the case, he provided timely guidance to help me build a strong case for the appeal.... I am very happy with the outcome which I don't think I could have had achieved without his in-depth knowledge and guidance.

Rude communication style

Didn't actually read the email describing the case and wanted to set up an appointment weeks in the future with a rude and condescending manner. It turned out they actually don't handle these cases. Total waste of time. Needs to learn to listen.

Anonymous, thank you for your comment. As an initial matter, it is ironic that you mention "rude communication style" and "rude and condescending manner." Your own comment states, "Needs to learn to listen." Your comment is not rude? Not condescending? Not rude communication style? Equally important, your comment leaves out several crucial facts. Those facts actually show your lack of professionalism, your misrepresentation of the events, and your unjustified sense of entitlement. Here are those facts. First, you emailed me on May 8, 2023, at 6:23 (PST). The next day, May 9, I replied to your email requesting additional information so we can review it to determine whether or not we can help you. You ignored my email for nearly three months. Your communication style is not rude? Not unprofessional? Yet, despite your lack of professionalism, I still went ahead to propose a time to discuss your case with you. The proposed appointment was 12 days away, not "weeks" as you alleged. Second, nowhere in any of our communications to you did we say that we did not handle your type of legal matter. In fact, we do handle such matters, as stated clearly on our website. Not sure why you did not read it. Three, in your next to last email to me, on July 27, 2023, you asked me for a guarantee of success on your case and whether or not we were willing to take it on. I replied to you on the same day, stating that the law does not allow any lawyer to guarantee success on any case. I also informed you that given the circumstances, your matter is not a good fit for us. We suggested that you immediately contact another attorney to help you. Finally, we wished you all the best. You replied to me on the same day but not in kind words. Quite interestingly, almost immediately after you emailed me, you posted your comment on Avvo, just to get back at me for not taking on your case. Wow! Unjustified sense of entitlement?
