Not recommended

I consulted Ms. Ramina regarding small claim courts law suit related to an auto-accident. She spent less than 5 minutes for a 30 min appointment. It didn’t bother me at that time as she had reviewed my papers previously and suggested res judicata defense confidently. I trusted her advice and presen...ted that defense in the court. Judge threw out the defense and I lost the case. I researched on internet and found many details and intricacies that either Ms. Ramina wasn’t aware of or chose not to tell me. Overall I was very disappointed. I informed Ms. Ramina of the judgment but never heard back from her. I don’t think anyone should spend their hard earned money on this incompetent lawyer.

BEST and most efficient with my money

I hired Ramina for some Family Law issues. She agreed to take my case thankfully. She was no joke and handled my case with class and fairness. She let me know when I was off base, let me help and do some of the legwork to save myself some money, and state my arguments but also was quick to handle iss...ues which arose with opposing council. My outcome was far better than what I hoped for and she did it all for me while being a human and not just someone I hired. She made me feel like what I was going through was going to be okay and the outcome appropriate. She is worth every penny. She was knowledgeable and takes no garbage, but was at the same time professional and guided me via the law and with a kindness that you do not often see with attorneys, specifically in the case of family law where conversations are crucial and emotions run high. I would recommend her for any type of law as she is literally that well versed in handling cases and people. I cannot thank her enough.

Great for my property tax appeal

We hired Ramina and her team to help us on a property tax assessment appeal. Our initial consulting call with her was very informative and we could tell she had a lot of experience and knowledge. She didn't try to sell us at all or force us to hire her but honestly told us what having an attorney o...n board for this appeal would look like and how her and her firm could help us. I appreciated her honesty and the fact she didn't try to sell us. While they were working on our appeal they were also extremely diligent and on top of all communications - very fast response rate to emails - I really felt like we were all a team working together and she was on our side. All of their hard work resulted in our value being lowered over 20% to a much more fair value for our property. Thanks again Ramina!

Very helpful and straightforward

I had the best consultation call with Ramina and couldn't have been more grateful! Ramina was patient with me, answered all my questions and suggested clear next steps. She didn't try to hold back legal advice or convince me that I should hire her/her firm, which is rare among the lawyers I've talked... to. I'd highly recommend her!
