Real people, real results

My husband has watched Lior Samfiru on TV for years. So when I was terminated "without cause" and offered a miniscule severance, I knew exactly who to call. He gave me the courage to stand up for myself and achieve a truly great outcome.

I recently had a chance to work with Dan "The Man" Balkaran, and I want to give my utmost respect and recommendation for this experienced lawyer. He was full of compassion and I felt he was on my side both legally and on a personal level.

I highly recommend Lior Samfiru and his team, who helped me deal with job redundancy from my workplace of over two decades. It was my first time hiring an employment lawyer and I’m very thankful for my daughter's recommendation.

Sandy Chen from Samfiru Tumarkin was extremely knowledgeable and relatable. After I was fired he stood up for me during one of the most difficult times in my life. Sandy leveraged the case to get above what I expected the company to pay out.

I hired Samfiru Tumarkin to represent me. Words can't describe how great Jon Davidsecu was. He was my lawyer but I came to think of him as my advocate and friend. He gave me the best possible advice and helped me at a low point in my life.
