If I ever need legal advice again -- and hopefully I won't -- Ethan Birnberg at Porter Simon Law office is the person I will call. His knowledge of the law is top notch and his responsiveness is above and beyond that. He was always reachable by phone and his email replies were timely as well. Ethan also acknowledged how much time various requests would take (in advance) and wanted to make sure that: (1.) I was OK with that or (2.) I would do some of the legwork in order to keep costs at bay. So, if you are ever in need of legal advice, I highly recommend that you contact Porter Simon Law Office and as for Ethan Birnberg by name!

Real estate attorney Ethan Birnberg from Porter and Simon is experienced, professional, and a good human being. The three words most people do not associate with those in the field. My case involved a real estate sales transaction that involved two family members. He has seen it all, both explosive battles and good outcomes. During the entire process, Mr. Birnberg manage to respond to every email promptly which is hard to do juggling multiple cases. Because he so responsive, I was able to move our case along very quickly with the other party and attorney. Mr. Birnberg knows too well the delicate dynamics of negotiating price, etc while avoiding war. The words I remember so well that he emphasized is “Is it worth the aggravation, stress, etc in the long run?” I can say at the end of it all, I am very glad I listened to his suggestions. He has the ability to temper the energy of the process and lead in the right direction

Porter Simon came highly recommended as I entered into the acquisition of an existing business in Truckee, Ca. I met and worked with Ethan Birnberg from beginning to end of the transaction and found Ethan and his colleagues to be thoughtful, thorough and professional throughout the entire process. Ethan is a great communicator, so he and I were consistently on the same page which was invaluable as the negotiations became difficult (as they most always do). Ethan also did a great job at tailoring his work product to my needs and the specifics of the deal which kept his efficiency high and the transaction costs to a very fair level. I highly recommend Potter Simon to anyone looking for high quality legal advice.

We were referred to Porter Simon by another well respected lawyer in relation to a possible real estate dispute. Ethan was the attorney that took time to look into the case and explain our options and possible outcomes. Though we already had legal counsel in Danville area, we were looking for a lawyer in Truckee who was familiar with local specifics and could advise on similar precedents and their resolution. Ethan was exactly that. He not only had a very broad understanding of the law, but also walked us through a recent similar case in the community. Considering how urgent and stressful the situation was for us, the fact that we reached out with a very short notice, we were amazed that Ethan was able to take our call between his appointments and actually spend time discussing it. We highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking for a knowledgeable, personable local representation in the Truckee area.
