Unfortunately my husband was his paralegal for a few difficult years. I even went to see David for a consultation on a case I had pending with Social Security. He was so clueless that I was concerned because this man is a terrible excuse for an attorney. He has almost no clue what is going on in his office, forcing employees to try to wing it most of the time. But he doesn’t help. He doesn’t hire more employees to help. He sits at his desk playing Solitaire. Or is out buying new vehicles and toys, etc. Then, when he does come back in the office, he is abusive to his staff. My husband was yelled at so many times for things that happened when he wasn’t even there, like when we’d go on vacation. He tried to force my husband to work when he was home so sick with COVID. We still have the evidence of that ordeal. It’s a shame that he can’t keep his employees for very long. He treats them like servants, yelling, cursing, slamming, blaming, sabotaging and insulting them for things that are HIS fault for not being present for anything. An attorney that doesn’t hold himself accountable for anything he does, is a dangerous one.
David Dorenfeld and his team at Dorenfeld Law have shown me endless support over the years. They have worked and fought hard for my interests, and most importantly, to protect me. They are knowledgeable, persistent, and straightforward. I was always able to call with the smallest of questions and gain peace of mind. I felt like I was in good hands and in the end, though things didn't go as we'd hoped, I was kept safe and informed. I will always appreciate the care and thoughtfulness that I was shown!

I had a 3min conversation with David and I feel he brushed off my true issue and only wanted to address what he wanted to address not my real issue. The condescending tone and reflection in his voice about my issue is very rude. I’ll be calling smartlaw for a new referral. Definitely not wasting my time here I don’t feel welcomed at all!!!!!!!!! I’m from the east coast California people laugh in your face about real problems very disrespectful!!!!!!
Maz Mazarei is an amazing attorney at this Firm, attentive to detail, thorough, cares about his clients and very responsive to any questions, concerns, requests made by clients. Highly recommend his services.

Attorney Michael Margolin represented my 94-year-old cousin in a Personal Injury Lawsuit. My cousin and I were separated by thousands of miles as I lived in Iowa; her in California. Although we lived in different regions of the country, Attorney Margolin was always accessible, response, and transparent.
Attorney Margolin went above and beyond for my elderly cousin who is plagued with various medical conditions. He would personally meet with my cousin in her nursing home whenever necessary and provided me with comfort as he would Face Time so I could converse with her as well. This action truly meant the world to both of us.
A valuable resource and knowledgeable about the law, Attorney Margolin displayed compassion, empathy, and grace during our time of need. He ensured our voices were heard and worked hard to guarantee a monetary outcome with our settlement that was appropriate for our case. It was an honor and privilege to work with Attorney Margolin. I am forever grateful.

Amazing law firm with highly experienced and trained attorneys. Wonderful staff and very supportive throughout the litigation process. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to defend their rights.
