I simply cant say enough about Fisher and Talwar. They are both extremely intelligent lawyers who were worth every penny. I was in a bind and they advised me perfectly to get me out of a lawsuit. I have used there services twice now, and each time, I have been thoroughly impressed. I strongly recommend using this law firm.

Had the opportunity to work with Jamie Fisher on an imminent domain situation and he exceeded my expectations! He was able to explain very complex scenarios in a way that was easily understood. Jamie was extremely responsive, professional and always acted in my best interest. He's the person you want representing you and I wouldn't hesitate to reach out for his assistance again if needed in the future.
Review
Approximately 5 years ago, my family was served with an eminent domain lawsuit against our family business. We were absolutely devastated at the thought of losing our beloved business we’ve owned for 23 years. We were referred to Fisher and Talwar where we met with Jamie Fisher and he instantly lifted my family’s spirits. He was the perfect combination of personal and professional. He was very respectful of our thoughts and feelings and encouraged us to allow him to defend us. My family and I had the pleasure of working with him for several years that consisted of an emotional roller coaster with many ups and downs, many appraisals, environmental reports, mediation, relocation discussions via email and phone calls and countless hours of paperwork and strategizing. Jamie was relentless and defended us fiercely. He held our hope for us many times. He taught us so much about the law, and our right to defend ourselves. He was always so refreshing with his knowledge, experience and ability to shift our perspective and help us look at our case differently. We always trusted his judgment and knew he had our business’s best interest in mind. Many things happened, but because of Jamie and his hard work, we were able to win our case and keep our beloved business. We are forever grateful for this law firm and their vision of helping others. Thank you so much for sticking up for small businesses!
Review
I've had the pleasure of working with Jamie Fisher who represented my employer on a eminent domain case when one of our business units was closed due to freeway expansion. I was the lead representative for my employer and worked closely with Jamie. Jamie knows the eminent domain environment very well, has a very strong background in these type of cases and was able to eliminate a lot of the red tape involving endless documentation requests by the opposing law firm. In the end, we were able to secure a settlement through mediation that was much better than expected.
Review
Jamie Fisher is my go to for all things related to real estate, business litigation and transactions. It’s not simply because he has the years of experience under his belt either. Jamie’s greatest gift is his creativity and amazing judgment when problem solving. This enables him to better advise his clients. Whenever we are in need of advice for our business, I know I can count on him to point us in the right direction.

Marci is very attentive to your needs and from my experience she was my favorite. She made calls to you and continued to make sure you understand the process and what the status was. Destiny she was great at responding to emails immediately. there was one more lady and I forgot her name. She was very sweet and even on her day off she responded to me. I would highly recommend Wilshire Law Firm. Again Marci was the one who really took her time to explain everything in detailed and I greatly appreciate what she did for me and the whole team. Thank you very much.

Review
The people here go above and beyond while delivering professional services. I cannot thank the employee who assisted me on 4/11/2021 over the phone. Her attitude and patience towards helping me was superb. If you need a solid lawyer and law firm that will do the best job possible, call Bobby and his team, I guarantee a positive outcome. I can attest to that, or if you simply don't know what direction to go and you are injured they will also assist you without hesitation even on a Sunday afternoon. Thank you.
Review
I decided to go through this law firm because of the good reviews and it was the biggest mistake. Keep looking do NOT hire this company. Absolutely no communication. You can never get through with your case manager. Case manager was changed every week. Emails were not answered. When finally speaking to someone lawyer was rude. They totally screwed us. They took way more than what they were supposed to take. I had another lawyer look at my case after it closed and he confirmed everything I thought. DO NOT HIRE THEM!

I have to say that Steve has been exemplary! I met Steve at a point with my case that I was ready to give up. He took the time and dealt with all of my concerns. Most importantly, he was present and listened to what I was going through. He was able to turn things around, put me and my case on the right track! The results were better that expected! Highly recommend!!
Review
I believe I made the best choice with Steven M Sweat, Personal Injury. I was very reluctant to go forward with my personal injury claim. I had a valid claim and I needed a professional attorney to handle it. I felt so much better when I let Steven take my case. His team did everything right and I am very satisfied.
Review
Steven Sweat is the best! He literally took care of EVERYTHING for me, including calling the check cashers, to clear the check, whenever they were unable to reach the insurance company to verify the check! Like, how many attorneys do you know, that would continue to help you, even when their job has been done?! I know that I am just "some dude" posting a review on Google but, I'm just as real as anyone else, and I sincerely appreciate the amount of work he has done for me! He literally went above and beyond, and I thank him for being such a personable man!! Thank you, Steven! You are truly a good man and an, astonishingly, wonderful attorney! God forbid I ever require your services again, but, should I or anyone I know get injured and need representation, I will, immediately, contact your offices!
Review
I was in a skateboarding accident and I couldn't find anyone to take my case, in a timely manner, much less, be communicative but, immediately after I got in touch with Steven, he got right on the case and I was paid within a few short months, and he stayed in touch with me the entire time. I'm extremely happy with the way he took care of everything for me.
Review
Steve Sweat is the man! He's very knowledgable about the law and a great guy to have on your side in any legal situations you might find yourself in. Navigating the whole legal system itself is complicated, but having Steve there to help you means that you will be super comfortable throughout the whole process, and when all is said and done, you will be SUPER happy with the results!

Ive been in a car accident before and have heard tells of friends and family who have had car accidents. I have never heard or experienced the level of excellent care provided by Attorney Homa Molayem and her team of expert doctors and staff. Even during this pandemic Attorney Homa Molayem made sure I received superior medical care and fought the insurance company to make sure my compensation matched the level of my injuries, lost wages and time that I will never get back. Attorney Homa Molayem is attentive, caring, and compassionate with her clients but shows no mercy when it comes to defending the rights and needs of the client. I felt totally at ease knowing that Attorney Homa Molayem was on my case. My compensation exceeded my wildest expectations. If you want to know you made the right choice in representation choose Attorney Homa Molayem. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! I sure don’t.

I don't typically write reviews on here, but I felt that Matt Koohanim deserved to be given the recognition he deserved. Everyone I interacted with at Koohanim Law Firm was professional since day one. My case took about two years and Matt was there every step of the way. He is very knowledgable in his practice and communicated very well with me. In the end my case was dismissed! No complaints here! Thank you Matt.

I can’t thank Matt and his firm enough !! He really took the time to go through my case and answer any questions I might have, as well as quote me a fair price. You can tell he really cares about his clients and wants the best outcome for them. The work that he’s done for me is invaluable and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Gotten myself in a car accident about a year ago and I wasn't at fault. Even though I haven't got any serious damages to myself but still I went to the hospital just to make sure. I tried contacting many lawyers (which were recommended by my friends) because I don't with such complexities and stuff like that. After all the search and discussions, I ended up choosing Matt from Koohanim Law Offices. He is a great guy. He's friendly and quick to give me some really good advice from the start. He is also diligent because he was able to find out that the person who hit my car had no insurance (which lucky on my side since I had full coverage). I also had issues regarding hospital fees and ambulance costs but even with all the problems I had to deal with, Matt was still able to go through all that very smoothly, like a real pro should. Not to mention he did it all much faster than I though it would. Matt Koohanim and his team definitely deserves high marks, especially Jasmine for such a great customer service. Not only Matt has vast knowledge of the legal system, he is also a down-to-earth guy who you can easily approach and goes an extra mile to help his clients. I would definitely take note of Matt if ever something comes up, well hopefully it won't. I am really thankful for him in helping me get through this tough ordeal in my life.
Review
Mr. Koohanim was referred to us by a friend of my dad. We came with a problem and this office did not just heard us but went to work on our behalf. It’s quite rare to find a lawyer that sincerely cares about your best interest. We had so many questions and Mr. Koohanim patiently answered them all. He is straightforward, knowledgeable, honest, and generous. This law firm is extremely professional and competent. We would like to thank him again for helping us.

I found Scott J. Corwin – Personal Injury Attorney, extremely helpful with the car accident I was recently victim of. After I prepared and presented detailed facts to him, he professionally analyzed the circumstances and only then took the case. The communications between his office and me were online (e-mails), very concise and specific, to the point. Him and his team were extremely supportive in finding the needed resources expeditiously. In all, very efficient, no time and money wasted. Thank you, Scott and Julie, for all your understanding and support.

Law firm was very helpful! I had a car accident and was immediately attended. The person taking care of my case was very attentive of my health status and of my needs. Case is still active however they still keep me updated not like other lawyers who forget about you and don’t even communicate what is going on! I also was offer a rental car the very same day didn’t even have to call my insurance everything was done through them. Best representatives so far. Strongly recommend this firm!

Got in an accident last year. I was pleased with how fast Alex was able to resolve the issues with my vehicle. I was working two jobs at the time and going to school. I couldn’t afford to be without a vehicle and my car was totaled. I appreciate the fact that I would always be able to speak with someone. My case just got resolved. And i was completely satisfied at the fact that they kept me informed with every step of the process!! Thank you Alex!
Review
My experience with the Law office of R. Alexander Comley has been exceptional. After getting into an accident I wasn't sure where to go and honestly didn't have the time to be running around getting police reports. After communicating with a few law firms and explaining the accident to a few friends I was referred to the law office of R. Alexander Comley. From the begging they where very attentative and kept me in the loop of what was going on with my case as it progressed. I was satisfied and stress free as I knew from that moment that no matter at what time I called they would answer. With their dedication to my case I realized the passion that this Law firm has for the justice of their clients.

I would definitely recommend Alex to my friends or anyone looking for a personal injury attorney. Being the first time getting into a car accident I did not know what to expect but my case manager Daysy was beyond helpful. She explained the whole process to me and kept me updated on my case every step of the way. Great job guys, keep up the good work!

My Experience with this Law firm was phenomenal. The process was easy and serene. I was updated on my case at every step of the way giving me a peace of mind as every update was good news.

I will definitely recommend the Law Office of Alexander Comley to all my friends and family.Thanks guys!!

If there were negative stars I would give Rahnama that rating. They are terrible. Carina at the Oxnard office was very unprofessional... Would not take calls... Would not return calls... Made assurances that they would assist me while I was in town, which was only for less than a week, and never followed through. Caused stress and anxiety throughout the family with their poor service and communications. Appeared that they were in Law for their own gain at the cost of clients.

Review
I had decide to go with this law firm because it was recomended by my husbands co-worker. They talked highly of them but i thought differently after being with them for 5 monyhs. Never got a called back when i called by the person handling my case. The girls from oxnard where actually nice and willing to help all the time. Thre actual attorney wanted to settle my case after 5 months. He didnt even know what was wrong with me until i had told him and opened my chart rt. Infront of me. He told me to settle for 20 thousand and run with it . at this point i knew he was in it for easy money. He doesnt care about you. I needed three surgery and he thinks 20,000 sounds fair enough for me to get, i think not! Fired him the next day.... Was not good enough for me!!!!
