I'm going to have to investigate your firm.
When I met with Haddad Sherwin I was skeptical about the world and needed help and that's exactly what everybody with this team of highly competent professionals did for me. They served me justice and changed my life.

Hi Joseph, We have not talked in several years since we won you and your siblings what was at that time the largest civil rights wrongful death settlement in California history from the tragic death of your father in the Santa Rita jail. I am very sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. If there is anything we can help you with, please let me know. Best wishes, Michael Haddad

Carl, Thank you so much for your review. It was such an honor to represent you, and your win sends a message that police will be held accountable if they break the law and violate people's constitutional rights.

Haddad & Sherwin are professionals as well as friends. They were there for me and my family every step of the way. Even after we won our case, they still continue to check on us and see if we need help with anything. I trust these people to the fullest. If you're wondering who you should chose as lawyers, you should chose Haddad & Sherwin. They will get you justice.
Owner response

Was told by the front desk person that they do not cover personal injury by police misconduct and only handle wrongful death and big cases. They should change their page to correctly represent this.
Owner response
Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts and we are reviewing our website to make sure it accurately reflects our practice area, as it has changed over the years. We are a very small firm, and find we can have the largest impact for our clients by maintaining a small caseload of cases involving wrongful death or serious physical injuries. There are other lawyers who handle personal injury claims involving police, but very few who can competently handle serious injury and wrongful death jail and police misconduct cases. I am sorry we cannot assist you, and wish you the very best in finding an attorney that is a good fit for you, Julia Sherwin, Haddad & Sherwin LLP

I can’t recommend Michael Haddad and Julia Sherwin enough. They were extremely professional, a pleasure to work with, and the outcome was exceptional. Their preparation was meticulous and their execution of that during my trial was brilliant. In fact, they were glaringly superior to the opposing attorney and his case. I rate them as excellent.
Owner response
Thank you Gary. The order we obtained after trial has been used by us and other lawyers in many cases around the country, and we thank you for allowing us the honor of representing you.

We can’t say enough good things about Haddad & Sherwin. They are sincere, compassionate, caring and professional, as is their whole staff. We don’t know how we would have made it through this awful time in our lives. They went up and beyond. They are extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed every step of the way. They treated us with respect and dignity. They were able to change reforms in policy and training for first responders for the City of Napa so what happened to our grand-daughter will not happen to another child. They continue to honor our grand-daughter which is much appreciated. I highly recommend them.
Owner response
Thank you Robin. We are so grateful to have represented you, your granddaughter, son and husband, and that we were able to achieve strong reforms to prevent what happened to your family from happening again. Julia

When our son was shot to death by a police officer in Santa Cruz, California, we contacted Haddad & Sherwin. Michael Haddad immediately made himself available by phone. His compassion, clarity and straight talk were invaluable to us as we navigated those first traumatic four days following our son’s death. Upon meeting with the Haddad & Sherwin team we experienced calm, clear and kindly counsel as to what we could expect in the coming weeks and months: the DA would most certainly decide in favor of the police; we would not know whether or not a wrongful death case was wise to pursue until the Haddad & Sherwin team got more information which would take several months; a lawsuit would likely take two years. The Haddad & Sherwin team was always respectful and supportive of our family. They reached a just and fair settlement that included injunctive relief leading to important changes to policy, training and practices in the Santa Cruz Police Department, including changes to the language in their manual regarding “use of lethal force.” Throughout the trauma and tribulations during the two years until the final settlement of our case, the professionalism, integrity and humanity of everyone in Haddad & Sherwin office helped us to walk a path we could never have imagined we would to be on. Their straightforwardness, perseverance and patience with the challenges of this case helped stabilize us during our grieving process and with each phase of the lawsuit.

Our family experienced the nightmare of our son being murdered by a Vacaville PD police seargent. My son had a 5 1/2 yr old son that was left without a father and Michael Haddad and his team made sure that my grandson would be taken care of in the absence of his father, although you cannot place a monetary value on the love, care and loss of relationship of his father. The entire office of Haddad and Sherwin were very compassionate towards our family during a very sensitive time with the loss of our son. Everyone in the office were very responsive to every phone call and email. They kept us informed during every step of the lawsuit proceedings and made our life easier during a very difficult time. We are very grateful to Haddad and Sherwin! They not only represented our family’s best interest, their caring professionalism helped us through the grief and loss of our son. Haddad and Sherwin made sure my grandsons’s future is secure. Thank you! Leslie Molera (mother of Kendall Walker)

This firm is professional and knowledgeable. They are capable of taking on the largest of opponents, ie the government. Haddad and Sherwin are willing and able to take each case to court, not merely settling for an inadequate settlement. Thanks again

April 12,2016 was the worst day of my life.I was assaulted By the santa clara police which resulted in a dislocation and 4 breaks to my left ankle. I had refused to let police into my home without a warrant. Not knowing who to ask for help i found michael and julia, after taking my case(and NOT knowing at that point there was a video) they worked tirelessly to get me and my family justice. I count my lucky stars that i found these two wonderful compassionate people. They are not afraid to fight for what’s right in a world where people with authority seem to get away with so much. They are honest and upfront. They will tell you straight out if they think it’s a case that has a chance and what those chances of winning are.
