Reviews
Mr. Romero has assisted our organization with a number of complex litigation matters over the past few years, and we continue to depend on him and his office for cogent and forward-thinking legal advice.
Alan has assisted our company with a variety of litigation-related issues, from employment matters to the resolution of disputes related to multi-million dollar real property construction projects. We have always gotten exceptional results, and we have the utmost trust in Alan to solve any problem that we throw at him. He is a highly ethical and intelligent attorney that we can depend on when the going gets tough.
Me atendieron de forma muy profesional y con mucho respeto siempre me mantuvieron informado y pelearon por obtener el mejor resultado agradezco todo su esfuerzo
Before working with Alan and his team, I had consulted another lawyer who made me feel very uneasy about the process with my case. I met with Alan to get a second opinion and immediately knew I wanted him to be my attorney. He handled the transition of case files, seamlessly and was always very communicative about the status of my case. I don't think I would have been able to last the duration of my case, as it took a couple of years, if it had not been for Alan's professionalism, care, and reassurance that he was the man to win my case. His knowledge and experience with Discrimination, Sexual harassment, Wrongful termination cases got him another win with my case and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.
Mr. Romero has personally helped me on several cases and was always responsive. At the outset, he explained to us all perspectives - and brought in additional experts when needed. He was very direct on why we could lose or why we could win but the odds were clearly against us. He would take the time to explain the facts from a legal perspective even if it meant spending part of a weekend night. And we did all this on the phone and over the internet as Alan was in the Los Angeles, CA area and we were in San Francisco, CA. Mr. Romero was one of the best lawyers I have worked with in all my years. I say this not because of the outcome, but because of his professional demeanor, his knowledge about the issues we were dealing with and managing our expectations without raising it or dashing it. We will work together in the future and hope for similar happy endings. Lawyers and law firms are very busy people and usually they have no time for “keeping clients notified” as it represents extra work. Mr. Romero was refreshingly different. He not only took the time to educate us on matters of law pertaining to our cases but through-out the process, he kept us in the loop on what was going, via emails or phone calls, communicated changes to the approach that he and his legal team were going to take and notified us promptly about new opportunities. I rate Mr. Romero in the topmost category of depth of knowledge, customer satisfaction, ease of doing business and above all values (honesty, integrity and trust).
