Karyne is an excellent attorney with extensive experience on both sides of an HOA. She's very strong in her convictions and extremely fair in her pursuits. I am so fortunate to have found her and looking back on the 2 1/5 years it took for resolution of my issue, I'm so glad it was with her at my side. There was never a moment of regret and there is no one I would recommend more.

Ms. Ghantous was recommended to me by my personal family attorney. I was having an issue with my HOA and Karyne spent at least a half hour consulting with me over the phone. She listened to the issues and then offered some advice. I employed her advice and copied her on emails to the HOA attorney. Presumably my issue has been resolved. Karyne did all of this gratis under initial consultation. As a corporate president I work with a lot of attorneys and I can attest that she is an exception. I hope I don't need an attorney to deal with my HOA in the future, but if I do she will be my first call.

Our case was complicated. We called over 20 attorneys before we stumbled upon Karyne Gantous at Gantous Law Firm.

I left a message on her office phone regarding an accident where fault was unclear and we were being unjustly sued. She called me back in about 2 minutes and gave me key information that I needed to solve my case without hiring her. We were afraid to move forward without her so we hired her to represent us. As we expected, Karyne received opposition on the pre-litigation. She made her position known with strength and vigor. After challenging Karyne and realizing she was a brick wall, the big scary law firm and the insurance company backed down and the matter was resolved.

Karyne is everything a landlord could want in an attorney: she has extensive experience defending landlords in California, she listens carefully, and she gives solid, candid advice without hesitation. When our tenant falsely accused us of harassment as a pretext to break an annual lease with us, we contacted Karyne for help. Not only did she take our call personally, she gave very sound advice for free that ended up saving us thousands of dollars in avoided litigation costs. Thank you Karyne! You are the first attorney we will turn to if we ever need property-related legal help again.

Karyne is super!

Some of the things that puts her in a different league are:

1. Accessibility - You work with her directly, and not an associate.
2. Communication - She tells you what needs to be done and how to do it.
3. Credibility - Karyne's 20 years of litigation experience is backed by her willingness to listen to your case and advise next steps.
4. Honesty - Unlike a lot of attorneys who offer free consultation to "reel" you in, Karyne will tell you outright whether you have a case or not.

We had a tough case but fortunately we found Karyne to represent us. With her help, we went through it with good ending. We are amazed how competent Karyne is in her field as well as her careness of the case. She made us felt that we were her only client during the whole process, while we knew that she also had many clients at the same time. She really made a difference! We highly recommend her!

Karyne Ghantous is an excellent attorney. She helped us with an insurance issue. She clearly had a great deal of experience in the area and gave us great advice.

Karyne is a super lawyer. I am the new president of a 142 unit HOA in San Ramon, CA. We recently recalled and removed the prior, long-entrenched board and are in the process of replacing out property manager and retaking control of the HOA. Throughout, Karyne has been an excellent adviser and a great asset on our side. The prior board, the management company and the prior HOA legal counsel we all in league together and had an iron grip on the Association and its finances. Karyne was instrumental in helping us to break their hold and putting the HOA on a constructive path forward. I highly recommend her.

We inherited the house we grew up in from our parents, and for over a decade rented it out, until we decided we were getting too old to be landlords. When we gave notice to the tenants to move out, suddenly mold and other issues that they had told us not to worry about for years became major complaints that were raised every time we talked. Although we were not explicitly threatened with a lawsuit, the implication became obvious. We contacted Karyne Ghantous, and she took the entire dispute off our plate, handled all communications and negotiations with the tenants, and brought us to a reasonable and final settlement. At the same time, she was very supportive and reassuring. She gave us advice along the way that was obviously contrary to her own financial interests, and when we received the closing bill from Karyne, we were astonished at how well she had kept our fees to a minimum.

I recommend her without hesitation for any kind of legal support for which she claims expertise.

I was served with a BS complaint from an individual that claimed to have have been hirt on my property.
After talking to several lawyers I decided on hiring Ms. Ghantous.
While I will have prevailed in court we decided that settling would be more cost efficient.
Ms. Ghantous got me much better settling terms than I would have gotten on my own. She also eliminated any stress that I would have been subjected to if I had handled things on my own.
Ms. Ghantous was at all times proficient, courteous, responsive and to the point. She impressed me as a non-BS, knowledgeable reliable person. I highly recommend her.

I was researching for the Real Estate Attorney and doing google search I found office of Ghantous Law Corporation. Karyne herself answered the phone and spend almost an hour with me explaining how to proceed with my case and having understood that I was not in the position to hire her, she graciously gave the phone number of another attorney and even volunteered to let me use her name as a reference. To be honest, she is just a great person and an excellent knowledgeable lawyer. I would recommend her to any of my relatives and friends without an any hesitation.
Thank you Karyne,
Alex.

Karyne is a very talented and level headed attorney. If you are looking for a straight shooter who will work tirelessly for you , she is the attorney your looking for. She handled Corporate matters for my firm over 15 years ago and did a spectacular job. She has handled matters for other colleagues and friends more recently and also did a spectacular job. I can not recommend her enough .

Karyne is the best landord attorney that you can ever had. It's extremely difficult to find a good lawyer whom really care for clients like her. Her loyalty, honesty, expertise and compassion were simply outstanding. Every single advise she gave turned out to be for my best. She saved me from emotional and financial damage. I can not thank you enough for what she has done for me and i will be always be grateful.
I highly recommend Karyne as an attorney.

We were in a dispute with our tenants and Karyne stepped in and was very supportive and helpful. We settled in mediation and our insurance paid the settlement. I would highly recommend her as she is very professional and knows her stuff. Great lady to have your back. She will alway be my go to attorney if we ever have another issue.

My contractor had made a big mistake in the house construction, which caused a major leak through each floor of the house, every time it rained. That situation put my tenants in a very hard living condition. My contractor used all his legal powers to tell me, he was right and it was someone’ else mistake. He said he would never pay for the reconstruction. I payed it out of my pocket and was sure I would never see my money back.
I was so lucky to meet Karyne Ghantous! Not only I got all the money back, she managed to cover me for the months when the house was empty, as a profit loss. Karyne was honest and professional. I am overseas most of the time, but even the time difference was never a problem to get her help and answers ASAP.
Highly recommend her as a lawyer.
Thank you Karyne!

Karyne Ghantous provided me with straight forward and practical suggestions with the HOA issues I am dealing with. Unlike some lawyers that requested that I paid for their documents review time before providing any basic direction, she suggested useful approach I can take first before investing in expensive legal fees. Her suggestions make good sense to me and feel empowering (how often do lawyers make you feel that way?! :)). I appreciate her honesty and expertise!

Karyne was a very proactive and professional. She took her time to help me when I contacted her for case. Although my insurance company decided not to take her since they have their own attorneys, but Karyne made sure that I will get protected by coached me how to deal with the case before handed over to my insurance company. It's hard to find a good lawyer whom really care for clients like her. I would definitely refer her to my network in case they have any issues in the future.

Karyne Ghantous worked on a personal injury case for our family. My overall experience included that the firm was informed, knew the law, and was very responsive to even the simplest of questions. We were very happy with the end result. Highly recommended.

I worked on a difficult HOA claim with Karyne. She was very professional and easy to deal with. She was easily accessible which was great to be able to reach her when I needed to. I would highly recommend Karyne

Karyne was a tremendous help with my parents' insurance defense matter. Their insurance company tried to avoid properly defending a personal injury claim that included punitive damages. Karyne made sure the insurance company engaged experienced counsel, mounted an appropriate defense and ultimately settled the case without my parents contributing any funds. She responded immediately, always cited case law to support her arguments and advocated strongly for my parents. She also made sure to minimize her costs and time. My parents were extremely pleased with her work and I so appreciated her dedication to their interests.

I'm totally impressed with Karyne and her professionalism. She was always reachable at any time by phone or email, and always gave her undivided attention. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and I've appreciated her sound advice. I would definitely recommend Karyne and her team!

Ghantous law Corp. Was immediately available to hear my case and provide a breakdown of what to expect and their services. Karyne is very professional and warm, and gave me thorough updates throughout the process. I would definitely use Ghantous Law Corp. Again.

Karyne was very helpful and knowledgeable in what we wanted to hire her for. She personally contacted us to make sure everything was okay. This is not something I was expecting. Very impressed with her. I would highly recommend her.

Karyne and her team are outstanding! She is a sharp strategist and truly cared for my needs. She immediately recognized my issues and knew how best deal resolve them. I can highly recommend her!

Karyne is brilliant, a delight to work with. She is professional, knowledgeable, and always kept me updated with the case at hand. My organization utilized Karyne's service for approximately five years successfully. I would definitely utilize her services and highly recommend Ghantous Law Corporation to anyone I know.

Karyn Ghantous defended my father's corporation in a civil lawsuit which was a tangle due to ever-evolving complexities. She efficiently organized and prioritized new information to revise contingent strategies that saved time and money; her style of direct communication that "cut to the chase" helped us to decide appropriate responses to resolve the lawsuit without a trial, to avoid judgement against us, to lessen its emotional trauma and to understand and plan how to avoid such situations in the future.

Karyne Ghantous Law was a dream to work with. From our very first conversation, Karyne offered me invaluable information and advice. After speaking with several other candidates it was remarkably clear that Karyne surpassed them all in her breadth of knowledge, her timeliness in response, and organization. We have worked with her ever since and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help relating to property/landlord/tenant law. She's an expert! Every request and little question we had was responded to promptly with exquisite attention, precision, and accuracy. She was both incredibly well-versed, and excellent in execution. We were very successful in our i.e. endeavors and feel happy and confident having her and her always by our side. Thank you Karyne and team! We couldn't have done it without you.

Karyne is amazing--very astute, strategic and able to convey her law knowledge into results for her client. She worked extremely well with the attorney for the insurance company, as well as with our eventual mediator. I knew, however, that if we had to move forward to trial that her help in the defense would have made the difference. I have already recommended her two other people.

Karyne Ghantous is absolutely outstanding. I'm very lucky to have found such an amazingly skilled and knowledgeable attorney to represent me in both personal and business related matters. She is extremely insightful, and uses her innovative thinking combined with her vast experience and knowledge to handle even the most complex matters. I know that I can expect the best possible outcome with Karyne's representation.

We have engaged Karyne several times during the past five years on home owner association issues. The latest engagement involved a civil law suit. She is talented, insightful, can think outside the box, and is more efficient than many other attorneys with whom I have worked. One of her outstanding qualities is her ability to tamp down an emotional situation with a dose of pragmatic reality while retaining an aggressive posture in protecting her client’s interests. Another valued quality is her willingness to explain to a client when the facts or the law fail to reasonably support a particular action put forward by her client. She knows the law and is a solid tactician and strategist. Highly recommended.

A tenant dispute arose out of mold exposure, and I was desperate for good representation. I was very lucky to find Karyne,. She not only put me at ease immediately, but was relentless in pursuing my interest. The one thing I admire about Karyne above most other attorneys is that she does not forget your case. You will not have to repeat the entire incident every time you see her. She remembers every detail, which shows how much she cares about her clients. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone.
