"I strongly advise against using Bachara Law Firm. My experience with them was disappointing, as I felt they showed little concern for their clients. I recently sought their help regarding a traffic violation, and despite clearly stating my disagreement with the ticket, their representative informed me that they don’t dispute charges—something I thought was a fundamental part of a lawyer's role. I even took the initiative to review the video evidence at the precinct, which clearly demonstrated that no violation had occurred. Instead of advocating for me, they suggested I take a driving course without providing a satisfactory explanation. Overall, I cannot recommend this law firm based on my experience."

"This firm is who my mother-in-law used for her end-of-life documents and to modify her house deed to give her sons ownership of her home with her having life rights. Well, they messed up and did the deed wrong (gave the sons life rights and kept her as owner). The error wasn't found until after she passed. Also, the living will they prepared was difficult and frustrating to execute. It was too simple and had grey area, which is not something you want when you are making medical decisions on behalf of an unconscious loved one. Even the medical staff told us it wasn't completely clear, so we had to do our best to implement her wishes. It made me realize what verbiage to include in my own documents."
