Hired Law Firm

I've read some of the reviews written and honestly, I believe the true nature Of most reviews have been deleted. ..I have been a customer of the Pendas law firm For some seven (7) months and the experience has been nothing short of horrific. They don't respond to my calls and provide little to no value information regarding the case. Unfavorable reviews have been deemed unrecognized by the firm.

Very hard to contact case managers. Slow response time, and limited information when given. The entire time I was with them, I never heard from them, unless I contacted them, and it took over a day or more to contact me back unless I was persistent and called several times a day. They have attitudes when you do call. Never felt that my best interest or my best resolution for me was a focus for them, I always felt that their best interest was at hand. I felt more of an aggravator rather than clie

Hired Attorney Lou Pendas

I have been dealing with mold sickness from negligence on the property management company which failed to fix critical issues that resulted in me getting very ill, losing work and devaluing my home and quality of life. They took my case and then dropped the ball. Unanswered phone calls, poor communication with staff and then to find out they declined my case after months without notifying me or giving me a reason all the while the statute of limitations is ticking away. I declined another firm because they were so assertive in getting me as a client. The most unprofessional firm who uses fake reviews and large billboards to gain trust.

Stay far away from this law firm, and if you hear the names Alex and Catherine run for the hills these guys are real crooks behind a desk. There only concern is to make money for themselves in the name of “ we care about you” pendas to sum it all up shortly I’m still blind from one eye never been compensated but they were sure to have me signed there release form for there 33% when it all started.

Because this review was anonymous, we are limited in how we can help. We do not employ crooks and the signing of the release is required under all settlements. The 33% is an agreed upon term within the contract. We encourage you to identify yourself.

Mi experiencia con esta firma a sido fatal, la comunicacion fue pobre ellos se enfocan en resolver los casos donde ellos van a ganar mucho dinero y los casos para ellos insignificantes los dejan por un lado, we demoraron casi 3 años para darnos una cantidad miserable basicamente ellos toman casi el 50% de tu dinero Diego Madrigal fue un mentiroso que cerro el caso con el seguro por nada. Bajo ninguna circunstancia recomiendo esta firma.

I was a client of Mr Larry Trias on a personal injury case six months ago! I had to schedule times weeks in advance just to speak with him. I could not ever meet with him. Then I found out the reason was that he traveled from another city too far away to even spend time with me or my case. He left everything to his Asst who also was never available and I had to leave several messages for her. I also had to do her work. When I got upset that they were neglecting my case they dropped me!!!

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
