Attala Law, APC - San Luis Obispo, California

Garrett Perkins

I held off on writing this review for more than 4 years to see if the relentless nickel-and-diming and half-baked fixes to serious safety issues were a regular occurrence among landlords in CA and by seeing what followed me into post-graduation tenant life. Well, the renting experience I had in college is not at all the norm, and Ed Attala, or “the slum lord” as his friends legitimately call him, is not anyone you should support with your business be it legal counsel or tenancy.

Not only did he structure his leases in a way that allowed him to extract as much money from his tenants as possible, but over the four years I spent living in an Attala property, he regularly kicked my entire house out for a week, making us move everything outside or off property, routinely ignored needed repairs, placed blame on our tenancy for problems that could not possibly have arisen due to our actions, ignored proper safety code, and called to verbally berate me when I dared to place the words “safety concern” in the subject line of an email. Don’t trust Ed to read your emails, legal documents, or texts, as my former housemate’s parent who is also an attorney actually signed an amended version of the lease to remove their child and them from financial obligations that could exceed $80k and he never noticed. Still, we’ve never received an appropriately itemized list for deductions from a security deposit and a foundation issue with the house I used to live in has been “fixed” by scabbing on a 4x4 to the exterior surface.

This is a man who prays on the unknowing and profits on the shortage of housing in San Luis Obispo, fleecing college students and clients for more money than they could possibly imagine they signed up to give.

I would give Ed Attala a definite 10 out of 10 Stars. After working with another attorney for two years with no results, Ed took our case and we had a settlement within four months. He is so friendly and easy to work with and the entire staff in the office is great. He will fight tooth and nail for you and will do everything possible to win your case. You need look no further if he can take your case. You are blessed to have him represent you.

Ed Attala was wonderful to work with. He helped me negotiate a difficult property settlement agreement during an extremely stressful time in my life. He was professional, knowledgeable, very responsive, and did a great job of helping me stay calm and focused every step of the way. I am so thankful for his help and would highly recommend him!

If you're looking for the most professional and capable attorneys in Estate Planning, look no further. Ed Attala and Curtis Abrams are both incredibly knowledgable and straightforward and have been a blessing to have on my team through an ugly estate litigation. I cannot recommend them highly enough. I also cannot say enough good things about Ed's office staff. They are all amazing!

Ed Attala and Curtis Abram (the two attorneys in the office) did a fantastic job for me on my grandparents estate. 10/10 would recommend. The rest of the office staff were always awesome, very friendly and smart people at this firm. Their rates may be on the higher end but in my experience they’re worth every penny!

Professional, knowledgeable, and insightful, Attala Law has helped us numerous times through setting up trusts, maneuvering probate, and recommending outside sources when necessary. Ed and his staff are polite, concise, and readily available; we've always found them to be a ready and reliable resource. We can't recommend them enough.

As a previous tenant, I have to give mt highest amount of respect and appreciation to Mr. Attala and his staff. They were very considerate and always tried to see the best in any situation. Kristen was a complete professional and responded promptly to any of our needs. She'd go the extra mile to get information to us and even on her own time helped with a pre-inspection of the property to allows us to fix anything that could cause some loss to our security deposit.
I have the upmost respect for Ed Attala and his establishment and I'd recommend Attala Law to anyone. As always, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to be one of your tenants.

Best Regards,
Bryan Mendes

Ed Attala was terrible, typical shister, fast talking lawyer. He did nothing on my case between 6pm and 8am the next morning. I had reservations about meeting him and leaving a packet of documents with him. I came back to retrieve them and he was put off that I wanted them back. He billed me $1200. For no work. Beware of this guy's unscrupulous business practices.
