Best experience working with this law firm for filing bankruptcy. Roy and Krista were extremely professional and put my mind at ease. They explained every single step of the process thoroughly and with care. For such a stressful time in my life, they helped me through it and put my mind at ease! During the process, and after the process was completed, they literally helped me sleep at night!

BEWARE OF THESE UNETHICAL CROOKS!
Regardless of the situation, I have never written a bad review in my life. But in order to prevent someone from being victimized by these incompetent thieves, I feel I had no choice.
The entire surreal experience with Roy Lester and his secretary Krista, is detailed in the email below. Which was never responded to.

After 6 months, Roy finally got on the phone today. He could not defend one iota of what him and his secretary did, only said take whatever actions you like. The pic is from the retainer. To avoid being repetitive, everything is outlined below.
After siting with a trustee today, I learned every email & second spent with the secretary, was a complete waste of time. 75% of our email exchange was unnecessary. The atty completed & forwarded the ENTIRE completed schedule to be submitted in 90 minutes. What they did is an utter disgrace, and beyond incompetent.
I will update the review with the complaints to the bar once filed!

EMAIL SENT TO KRISTA 2/4/2025

I returned today to 2 judgements filed against us. As irate as I am, I’m going to be as civil about it as possible.

I need a check for $2943.75 immediately to file with an attorney, which ironically I never had access to at your law firm.
This could’ve been filed several times over, but wasn’t due to total incompetence and neglect. You refused to ever speak to me, and insisted we only communicate in a never ending email chain filled with unnecessary bullshit.
After sitting with an atty for 15 minutes, I had a complete understanding of the entire process, including income calculations, exemptions, requirements, etc. If that service was provided by you, this would’ve been filed, even discharged months ago.
He won’t even accept your schedule D, explaining it takes less than a half hour to complete data entry, your only job. Which you failed to include the primary source of income we discussed in detail at our only office visit.
You canceled the only appt we had to meet, saying you needed every piece of paper before seeing me. Phone calls, meetings not permitted, only more EMAILS!
What I learned, & the courses of actions I will take are as follows:

As far as I know you are a secretary! Or as you sign a branch manager! Can you please confirm you’re at least a paralegal Cause based on the retainer agreement, it includes hourly rates for attys, partners, associates, law clerks, and paralegals! No rates or fees for secretaries or branch managers!
Another item in the retainer is monthly billing! So we know all about the work, or lack of being done. Something every law firm provides. In our 150 emails over 5 months that accomplished 30 minutes work, I don’t see one invoice!! Why is that? Ironically that would be the one thing you are supposed to do. Instead you expressed the desire to fire me, for finally speaking up & cc’ing Roy. The one of two times I reached out to him, only to be ignored. Instead you told me you wished you could pass me off to someone else in the office, but there was no one else. Maybe no other secretaries, but there must be attys or people with law experience.
You then proceed to tell me we can pick up a refund check, conveniently omitting an amount, while never providing a stmt, knowing my wife was picking it up. With a nasty attitude you drop it in front of her face saying sign here. Then tell me she’s responsible to read it! Did you suggest she reads what she’s signing? Or give her the opportunity to do so No you didn’t! Unethical and deceptive!

The actions I will take if not refunded are:
Filing a complaint with grievance committee
Filing a complaint with the US trustee
Posting a detailed review on social media
Suing you for any judgements that are successfully obtained by creditors.

I’ll be out of town through Friday. If my wife can pick up the check, you can drop another sign here in front of her that she won’t read. Relieving the firm from any liability, and prohibiting me from taking any of the above actions.

Not enough words can describe the feeling of relief I have right now as my case was just completed. Starting with the wrong attorney initially and finding Mark years into this chaos, in what I thought would never end. Mark and his staff were efficient, knowledgeable, and helpful in every regard. He was reliable and straightforward throughout. He discovered things pertinent to my case, then acted assertively and got the job done. He keeps you informed the whole time with all questions answered. Take it from me not only is this guy highly recommended but you need him on your team, not looking at him from the other end of the table 😉 Thank you Mark

Mark Masini was very helpful to me during my Divorce process. He was very thorough and detailed, and explained every step of the process in detail to me. I was happy and very satisfied by his services.
Made a difficult time a lot easier. I will definitely recommend him to anyone!

About 18 months ago, a "difference of opinion" between a family member and myself, escalated to a super serious stage, necessitating expert legal advice.
A trusted friend and business associate suggested contacting Lester, Korinman, Kamran & Masini.
It took one phone call to assure me that this firm would lead me through the legal system victoriously. Their years of experience, expertise and knowledge, coupled with genuine attentiveness, care and concern was exactly what was needed. The confidence experienced with the first phone call was very well placed.
Thank you, Gabe and Mark, I truly appreciate and highly reccomend you both!

I have retained counselor Mark Masini's service on a few occasions in the past 12 years, each time the situation was resolved to our satisfaction.

Talking to Mark, you can sense he genuinely care about you, his experiences and expertise make you feel comfortable and trust him without hesitation.

The staff in the practice are knowledgeable, professional but also courteous.
Highly recommended Lester Korinman Kamran & Masini.

Mark is extremely knowledgeable and professional and has consistently gone above and beyond, exceeding expectations every time.
Mark is my personal attorney as well as business. His legal advice was invaluable when I established my new business and continues to this day.
Mark has advised family and friends and I highly recommend his legal counsel.
