Thanks Mike for your support: It’s clear that [W]e would never pursue legal actions against anyone for merely leaving a review or ratings.” Is a false stated. This firm took legal action to suppress free speech. Such is highly unorthodox from a law firm.

Again, thanks Mike. As suppressing free speech or filing frivolous slapp suits highlights the poor characteristics of this particular law firm. Individuals should be made aware of these unethical, unprofessional and unacceptable actions by this firm.

Fhima’s Statement sent you Geico. Do you see a problem if only one policy is actually applicable. He embarrassed us in front of insurance company.

Fhima Says:

Relevant Insurance Policies & Demand for Policy Limits

There are only two relevant insurance policies in effect that have coverage over the losses sustained by Mr. Liepe in the car crash of October 6, 2017.

Mr. Liepe’s Auto UM/UIM coverage of $300,000/$300,000/$100,000 and his Umbrella coverage of $1,000,000.

As mentioned in the beginning of this demand, Mr. Liepe is currently only making a demand under the Auto UM/UIM policy. After Mr. Liepe’s receives further treatment and care, he will then issue a supplemental demand under the Umbrella policy.

I've never done a lemon law case before, but the team made it very easy and guided me step by step. I was well informed the whole way through and questions I had were answered with detail. I'm glad I found this law firm to handle my case, now i can rest easy knowing i domt have to deal with a defective car.

If you have a lemon, or think you have a lemon but are unsure, you HAVE to call Neale & Fhima, LLP! We had not one, but TWO lemons and we had been told by other law firms that our case could not be brought up to the manufacturer because there was a class action suit. I reached out to Aaron via email as my car was being towed to the dealership for yet another repair. Aaron explained the whole process and assured me that we indeed could bring our case against the manufacturer. Aaron was able to get our lemons bought back (we basically got a refund for the money we'd spent so far) AND the remaining loan amounts paid off. My husband and I could not be any happier. We began our journey with Aaron and his team back in October, and started the new year with our brand new (more reliable) cars...Happy New Year to us! Thanks Aaron and team!!

Lacked experience with umbrella policy in relations to no fault uninsured car accident. In addition, did not address each and every lien holder as provided on the intake sheet as well as conveyed several times. This error/oversight caused me to have to deal with creditors/lien holder directly. Would explore your options and consider other practices before signing anything.

Update: Mr. Fhima will be report to the California State Bar for ethical violations, misrepresentation and other infractions Including those related to the solicitation of potential clients etc.

Further, a lawsuit will be brought against Mr. Fhima and his associates in due time for fraud, misrepresentation, and legal malpractice etc.

Thanks to everyone who supported me through this, you know who you are: Kim, Mike, Dave, and others. Sorry if this firm is harassing, stalking or bothering you! It just goes to show how childish and immature they are!!!

I am forever grateful to Neal & Fhima for the settlement they got me after my accident. Aaron was amazing throughout the entire process. He walked me through every step and got the most the policy allowed for. Thank you Aaron!

Aaron Fhima of Neale & Fhima is the sharpest, most zealous lawyer out there, and I am so happy he handled my case. I got in a bad car accident resulting in multiple injuries and my car getting totaled. I initially had a different attorney who was able to get me a modest settlement, but Aaron got me thousands of dollars more than what my previous lawyer said was even possible. Aaron is a shark; he will fight for your rights and get you the most money possible. I highly recommend him.

Thank you " David " for sharing your honest, sincere opinion and review, on how your own attorney is suing you (The counselor who suppose to protect but instead is doing the opposite to get more money from the "client"), i am very surprised someone you hired to do a job is suing you back for more money, how can you trust a lawyer, and that's not cool at all.
at the end everything is about money, taking advantage of the needed, then who can you trust.

We initially contacted Neale & Fhima to assist us in a Lemon Law case for our vehicle. We had previously been turned down by a "highly recommended" firm because they stated we did not have a viable lemon law claim. We called and spoke to Aaron who was very confident that he could help us and immediately started processing our case.

We were kept updated throughout the entire process and are very pleased with the results that Aaron was able to obtain for us. I would definitely recommend this firm if you are looking for someone to represent you lemon law case.

Everyone we came in contact with at this office was very helpful and professional. I have no hesitation in returning to this office if we ever find ourselves in need of legal assistance again.

I am truly am grateful to Neal & Fhima Law Office. I found them online and after meeting with Aaron I felt comfortable. I had talked to another firm before Aaron and felt very uneasy. Aaron was honest and explained everything to me. Ms. Stacey and Aaron fought hard for me on making sure I got the best settlement in my Lemon Law Case and even went above and beyond in seeking extra reimbursement for repairs I paid for.
Ms. Courtney and the whole staff here are outstanding. They are compassionate. They even help calm me down when I was having additional car trouble and I was not the most pleasant person. They reminded me to make sure I was safe. Having major car problems is not pleasant, but to know that you have someone/ an amazing group of people on your side is the biggest blessing. I would recommend them to anyone that feels that their car might be a Lemon. Thank you again to all of you and all you did.

I had the privilege of working with Aaron Fhima on my lemon law case against BMW. After receiving a low ball offer from BMW, I contacted Aaron to see what could be done. He told me what steps needed to be taken to prosecute my case and how long the process would take. He took charge and got me four times more than what BMW offered me. Aaron took time out of his busy schedule to answer any questions I had at anytime of the day.

I was impressed with his knowledge, dedication, and work-ethic, Aaron made me feel like I was his only client. He is my go to for any legal advice I need, willing to do the work to get the most possible for his clients.

This is an amazing company to use for you lemon law. My very expensive car $140,000 had an annoying rattle that could not be fixed so Neale and Fhima took the case on and won it for me. They did it in record fast time and I basically did nothing. highly highly recommend them to anyone

Really really recommend them if you have a car you might be thinking is a Lemon. They will point you in the right direction and are so helpful when it comes to answering your questions. I wish i could give them more than 5 stars because my experience with them was amazing, Attorney Stacey Davis always had an answer for me and provided updates weekly she walked me through the whole process and always made sure i knew what was going on, also not to mention how fast my case got resolved...got me a settlement i couldn’t be happier with and i can say i am a happy customer, also thanks to Courtney and Jolynn for being the best! Always so courteous and helpful, so once again if you’re in need of an Attorney there’s no going wrong with them!

Well if your reading this then you have gone down the same path as I did with buying a lemon. The frustration of taking your vehicle into the dealer and not getting the results that you would expect from a brand new vehicle. Finally I had enough and turned to Neale & Fhima. They are awesome, they walked me through the whole process and stood by me and supported me through everything. Needless to say, we won our case and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I want to give a huge shoutout to Stacy Davis, thank you for everything that you did for me with my case. We couldn’t of won it without you!! So if your in the market for a lemon law attorney this is the firm for you.
Thanks again.

I'm absolutely grateful to have worked with Stacy and Courtney. They always kept me updated and put me at ease. They dealt with the dealership as much as possible so my family and I didn't have to. They fully explained the process to me and made me feel so much better. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone especially if you're unsure about what to do in legal situations with your vehicle.

My name is Lam Nguyen. Aaron Fhima and assistant Courtney was super awesome in helping my case with Chevy. We had a Chevy Equinox which had oil consumption problem. After so many fights with Chevy people and corporate. I decided to let a higher power in Aaron Fhima to represent me so I can focusing on life. Aaron was professional and thorough in during the consultation. We have won a big chunk of the money back even though the vehicle was already had 80,000 miles. So I would highly recommend the Neale & Fhima firm if your vehicle having repeated of the same issue and the dealership wouldn't take care of you. Contact Aaron Fhima a call and the stress will go away.

Don't hesitate to contact Neale & Fhima if you think you have a Lemon! Aaron Fhima helped me through my Lemon Law case, and made everything super easy to understand and answered all my questions. The professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and consideration that Aaron expressed definitely made this whole upsetting process bearable. I hopefully won't have to go through another Lemon Law claim again, but if I do I know who I will turn too! 10/10

Aaron has helped with a few cases over the years and I need to say, there’s really no one more honest, thorough, attentive and professional. Aaron got a multiple successful settlements and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He was straightforward from the get go and fought for me until we got what I was deserved. Highly recommend.

Aaron took the time to explain each document in great detail, he is very knowledgeable and informative. He walked me through the process and thanks to him and his team I feel my case was taken seriously and my settlement reflects the effort. I had some difficulty finding a lawyer I could trust and I’m confident when Aaron says he’s gonna do something it gets done. I’m definitely recommending him to my friends and family. I wouldn’t think twice about having him represent you.

I’ll make it simple, it was very difficult dealing with attorney Fhima. I felt he was lying to me on a few occasions and when I spoke with a few people and confirmed he was,I wrote a 1 star review. Once he saw that, he got in contact with me quickly and tried to say he doesn’t lie to his clientele. ( which was another lie)
Then he said he did not want to represent me anymore, and he would just lose his time and money spent on my case. I was fine with that.He made it clear he was just going to chalk it up as a loss and I was to find a new attorney. He claimed he would be losing money not getting paid from me or the company I was suing.
After finding a new attorney to represent me, the new attorney informed me I needed to have Mr. Fhima sign a letter saying he was not looking for compensation from me,the company I was suing for the lemon law, or the new lawyer representing me. Once I presented him with that letter he all of a sudden wanted to work with me again and was able to resolve my case within a couple of days. I was informed by someone else that he had filed a claim against the company that I was suing and he was looked to get paid. (Even though he said he was not)
Sorry it had to be this way.

Everyone in this office was friendly and asked my opinion about the choices that were on the table. If you are looking for an attorney that will hold strong to what happened in the situation and not back down when pressured by the big insurance company I would suggest this team. This team was amazingly friendly and helped me with anything I needed even before we had a case.

I stumbled on to this law firm when I was doing a search for a Lemon Law Attorney. I had been working with the manufacturer and my local dealer for months trying to get them to take the car back due to safety issues, but they didn't feel that my claim was valid. So I decided to go a different route and hire an attorney.
I sent my claim information out to 6 firms. I received answers back from 5 firms telling me I had a good case. All firms except Neale & Fhima reached back to me by email. Aaron from Neale & Fhima called me to discussed my case. Aaron told me that he was very confident that I had a great Lemon Law case and he explained the whole process in detail. I told him I wanted to do my due diligence and check out other firms. He said no problem and I told him I would get back to him.
I did call several other attorneys and discussed my case with them. I felt a better connection with Aaron and decided to go with his firm Neale & Fhima and I am very glad I did!
I was kept updated throughout the entire process and I am very pleased with the results that Aaron was able to obtain for me. Everyone I came in contact with at this office was very helpful and professional. They settled my case and I even got fantastic settlement.
I have no hesitation in returning to this office if we ever find myself in need of legal assistance again. I highly recommend this firm if you are looking for someone to represent your lemon law case.

My mom and dad have been having a lot of difficulties with their brand new truck. But luckily we got in touch with the law firm and helped us out with Lemon's law tremendously. They are great with their services, they really know what they are doing and they are very professional. I will definitely recommend any one that is having difficulties with there new cars to go to them to get the proper help and assistance for any legal matter that is based under Lemon's Law.

Look elsewhere for representation. I personally have direct evidence on how this firm “attacks”, requests or however you want to say honest negative reviews of their services. An example of this is evident on a site called Avvo as well as Yelp. (Have screen captures)

Since this is occurring, and you can’t trust the reviews, one should really consider and evaluate if said firm fits you needs. Seemed like in my case Mr. Fhima, after erroring about umbrella policy transferred our case to partner. His partner actually made my wife feel uncomfortable. She felt discriminated against because she was Korean and partner continued to attempt to have me pass messagess onto her or explain certain things despite that she was client. That’s was not my job. Firm was paid roughly 100k, which they took money from both spouse and I. It just felt and seemed like they weren’t equipped to deal with individuals who are different. She really didn’t feel comfortable, whereas she honest felt a “discriminatory” undertone from all members of firm. There firm should have hired translator as again it wasn’t my job to translate docs. (They were paid 100k for clear cut case, yet erred on reading simple umbrella policy when everyone said it didn’t apply. We were actually embarrassed by Mr. Fhima actions, it reckless, and uncalled for)

Additionally I cation anyone leaving a review. If they dislike it they may file a frivolous slapp suit or hire an investigator to harass you. My buddy is “borderline”, being harassed by their hired investigator( see review by Dave), because he said “wow thanks for the update.

I maintain that in CA there are so many law firms. Any lawyer can handle lemon law case or personal injury case. Attorney only take those cases if it’s a clear cut case, so don’t be fooled. Do your homework and talk to several attorneys. Ask yourself this question “do you want an attorney who surpresses your constitutional right to free speech”? No! (Emphasis added).

I was in a pretty bad collision and I went to see Aaron on a recommendation from a friend. Aaron’s knowledge of the law is impressive, he helped me through the process and got me a better settlement than I had thought possible. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and I would highly recommend Aaron.

I contacted Neale & Fhima about 5 months ago about a lemon law case. Not only did they help me but they got me every penny back that I put into my car. And, the car company has to pay off the remaining balance of my loan! Aaron & Courtney were positively amazing! They walked me through every step of the way and answered every phone call, email and question I had with respect and care. They are quick, they are caring and they are friendly. And to think, all I did was do a Google search. Neale & Fhima was the first law firm to pop up. I gave them a call and the rest is history. If you need help with a lemon, call the law office of Neale & Fhima!

I would love to give Neale & Fhima more than 5 stars! I had gone to 3 different law firms about a lemon law case and was turned down. I am so thankful I was able to find Neale & Fhima online. I called and with no hesitation Aaron said, "YES, we can take your case!" He answered all my questions and replied in a timely manner. Best customer service I have encountered, from the front end to the attorneys. I highly recommend Neale & Fhima law firm with no doubt! Thank you so much Aaron.

We had the most incredible and positive experience with Neal & Fhima. We had purchased a brand vehicle in 2015, which ended up having terrible transmission issues. After months of frustration and ultimately trying to go thru a different process in respect to the Lemon Law, our claim was rejected. It was so upsetting and time consuming. Then I called Neal and Fhima. From the first conversation, Aaron was incredibly knowledgeable, kind and reassuring that he would be able to help us. Aaron and Lauren worked hard for us and they won our case! We were reimbursed the entire amount of our purchase price of our vehicle! I wish I knew of other people who were in our situation, and be able to refer them confidently to Neal & Fhima! Outstanding practice with amazing communications, knowledge and experience. We feel so very blessed to have found them. We purchased a new car with the feeling of knowing, if by chance, we purchased a lemon, we know where to go to get outstanding results and representation! We can not give a higher recommendation!!

I worked with Aaron Fhima who is fantastic! Before finding Aaron I was trying to work with another firm and they didn't even want to take my case as they stated "Your case has a low chance of success and we can't afford to take it to court" which basically what he was really trying to say is "Your case is too hard, we only take easy cases". I almost gave up but got referred to Neale & Fhima a few weeks later and I was instantly told that I have a case which I knew was a valid case and was so happy for someone to actually see the truth and be willing to put in the extra effort on this harder case. As I write this review today my case just got settled in my favor and I am super happy! Thank you Aaron! :)

I would highly recommend Neale and Fhima. My experience with this firm was flawless. They kept me informed of the process, patiently clarified the questions I had and provided consistent progress updates. Their communications were professional and to the point. Needless to say, injury situations are very stressful and insurance companies are very difficult to deal with. Neale and Fhima had the experience, knowledge and communication skills to reduce the anxiety and stress that come with the territory and help set my mind at ease. Thank you for your time and effort!

I first contacted Aaron after having spoken to several other indifferent and pricey attorneys. He reviewed my case and was determined to get the best settlement for me.

Aaron is a powerful advocate who cares about his clients and their needs. Whenever I had a question, he was very responsive and was sure to explain every detail thoroughly. He kept me informed throughout the progress of my case and was intelligent and practical with his approach.

His determination and extensive experience allowed me to settle my case without having to go to court (which saved me time and energy).

I have worked with other attorneys, but my experience with Mr. Fhima was by far the best. I highly recommend the Neale and Fhima firm.
