    Why bother? They never answer the phone, so appointments can be set. Spent hours on numerous days, and not once did they answer or call back. Go figure, another broken California program.

    Their timing was extremely disappointing. I reached out to them over a year ago and I'm just now hearing from them. They sent me a closing letter saying they've left me various voicemails which is not true. I confirmed my contact information, both email and phone number and they had it right. Question...is this behaviour planned? Oh, wait...you're not done with this moment in your life..here!! "We are a legal Firm that is here for you during a time you need us most". NO YOU ARE NOT!! Just a reminder......

    I spoke to several ladies and they were all wonderful. Very nice and helpful. I would say all of their names but only Andrea stood out in my mind. She was so kind and had me set up for a call back before I even asked. These ladies deserve a nice bonus for Christmas 💗

    Update AUG 7th 2026 I got a call from the Fresno office today. It only took them **10 months** for someone to get back to me. 😂 They wanted to know if I wanted to talk to someone at HQ about everything that happened. The lady asked if **Karen** was there, and I said, "My name isn't Karen, it's **Kara**." Then I jokingly asked, "Did someone put 'Karen' in the notes because of this and forget to change my name back to Kara?" She said, "Oh no, I didn't even think of that. I'm so sorry." I told her I'd already found a much better place in Tulare that actually gets back to me right away instead of making me wait months to hear from someone. By then, I've already forgotten what was even going on. I also explained that they wanted copies of my lease files, so I emailed everything they requested. They told me someone would get back to me, but nobody ever did. Then I received a letter saying my case had been closed. By the end of the call, I just thought, "This is probably going to go in one ear and out the other. They're probably just going to think I'm being a 'Karen' even more." So I said, "Forget it. You're not going to take this seriously anyway. Bye," and I ended the call. this was giving the same BS i get form FHCN LMMFAO 1 YEAR LATER STILL NO ANSWERS TO MY OG REQUEST NOV 2025 Review: I asked for help because my apartment management said we couldn't have doorbell cameras or any cameras at all. They also made us sign a new lease months into our renewal. On top of that, they cherry-picked parts of the California e-bike law and rewrote it to make it sound like we can't have e-bikes in our apartment at all, for no valid reason. They told me to email them the new lease and said someone would call me within a week. Instead, months later, I got a letter saying the case was "resolved and closed," but I never received any call, explanation, or actual help.
