Tepper Law Firm

The Best law firm we ever acquired. The team was exceptional in making sure I understood every aspect of my case and I tend to want clarity on everything. Jairo, Victor and Nick went above and beyond to break down anything that appeared confusing.
Our lawyer was honest and very expressive. I’m uncomfortable with emotionless, poker faced representation. I understand that for courtroom proceedings, but not when interacting with clients. If you want a firm that gives you exclusive personal attention, This is the place.

Nick Tepper is willing to fight for the best interest of his clients. He is able to explain any all legal proceedings in a way that can be understood by anyone. Tepper Law have been very quick to respond to all questions, documents and updated information. Nick Tepper does not inflate what he thinks he get for his client. He is very direct and no nonsense. (I think this is a great quality to have in an attorney.) I will continue to use his services as well as refer others to him.

Nick Tepper recently deleted his review against my business, but it doesn’t matter I snapped a photo of it on my iPhone Nick you’re a liar probably a worthless parent, but most of all you’re the worst attorney in Los Angeles and I’m going to show all the proof during the State Bar especially when you were drawling pictures of nothing during my deposition!!! Oh it’s going to be so fun for me this you get this board with all the complaints that you’ve had against you!!!

For me working with Nick was a pleasant, corrective experience, and Nick was a breath of fresh air. I’ve worked with several attorneys
who’ve come up short on conduct, results and trustworthiness. Nick, got the job done on our case.
Another plus, that’s really not a given is that Nick can write and he takes pride in his legal documents. This is big. I have had to correct the spelling and grammar of some of the letters and documents from big law agencies in LA that represented me. Nick’s documents are flawless.
If you want someone who will fight by your side, who will level with you about your chances, and tell it to you how it is, Nick is your guy.

I waive my attorney-​client privilege to facilitate this man’s defense. Please clarify so we are all aware what caused you to ask me a question and instantly hang up as I began to reply? You said:
«It actually feels good to be so coveted that a rejection could illicit such strong feelings.»
That is beyond bombastic. It’s nearly impossible to find an attorney would will go after landlords, because they are the ones with all the money. YOU are decidedly not coveted, and I should have read the reviews before contacting «tepid» law.
It’s true, the good reviews are probably the no-​brainers, or as everyone else suspects, friends, family, coworkers. You have to do SOMETHING to balance what appears to be the truth.
So, let me have it! Tell me where I am getting the information wrong. I know you can’t do this without lying and so I am asking you to clarify.
I’m a decent sort, an apology goes a long way. But given you see yourself through rose-​colored glasses, my sense is that’s about as likely as the Statue of Liberty being located in Lake Ontario.

Nick Tepper is by far one of the best lawyers in town. Not only is he a master of his trade, he is fast, efficient and personable. He truly cares about his clients and getting the best possible result. Moreover, he’s not one to sugar coat your likelihood of success. He will not give you false hopes and promises just to earn your business like many other lawyers in this town. He will fight for you vigorously and always has his clients’ best interest at heart. The man knows what he’s doing and does a heck of a job doing it! I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a civil litigation attorney. He handles all types of matters, including landlord/​tenant disputes, family law, breach of contract and more! I couldn’t be happier with his services!

Horrible attorney. He is a crook. He commingles your «retainer» and never bills you with accounting to his hours. He charges your credit card without your authorization. I went with him to the Beverly Hills BAR for fee arbitration, I am waiting for a favorable result. After I am done with fee arbitration then I will take this crook to the California BAR to take his license away forever. He is unethical and not a good human being.

Last week I met with Mr. Tepper to work out a settlement with the representatives of my landlord at the court house on Hill Street. The whole process took only a couple of hours, was straight forward and made simple and easy by his representation and sound advice. The case, which could easily have gotten even more tangled and complicated, was settled to my satisfaction and let me tell you, it is a great relief to have a situation of almost 1 and a ½ years finally resolved. Thank you Nick!

I utilized Nick Tepper of Tepper Law Firm twice to represent me as the seller of a business. It was a seamless process and I felt that I was educated in every aspect of the business contract and was very pleased in the timely manner that my questions were answered. Due to the confidentiality of the sale (s), Mr. Tepper honored my request to call me after hours and at odd times due to the buyer being on Eastern Standard Time while we were based in California. I take the content of my Unilocal reviews seriously as I utilized the reviews myself to determine a good fit for my needs. I have no reservations recommending this law firm for business law.

Buyer beware, worst lawyer ever! He mishandled my divorce, missing deadlines, never following through on anything he said he was going to do, and taking FOUR YEARS to complete a simple no contest divorce that should have taken three months. When I dared to question him or complain about the terrible job he was doing, he yelled at me and condescended to me in a way I’ve never experienced before. Truly a repulsive experience. Stay far, far away from this guy.

I agree 100% with the review from 2011 by J.S.
Based on my experience with Nick Tepper, I strongly suspect that all the positive reviews since then were written by Nick’s friends or staff members. I simply can’t fathom how he could behave one way with us and so entirely different with other clients.
My partner and I hired him to resolve a dispute with our landlord. Nick missed every single self-​imposed deadline and never once acknowledged the missed deadline, apologized, or contacted us to set a new deadline and adjust our expectations. And when we *finally got a hold of him* (it was often difficult!) and expressed frustration over the lack of communication and the missed deadline, he had the gall to act as if we were being unreasonable and pushy.
It never felt like he was fighting for us. In fact, it often seemed as if he hadn’t thought about our case for weeks and was missing key opportunities to get it resolved in our favor.
It took him weeks to draft the initial demand letter we sent to the landlord (and timing was of the essence), and I had to spend A LOT of time reviewing it and providing him with edits, as it was full of unprofessional language and complete inaccuracies regarding our case.
We believe that working with Nick resulted in a less favorable outcome than we would have gotten if we’d worked with someone else, and it most definitely resulted in tons of stress and anguish for us. Do yourself a favor and keep looking. Nick is not the guy.

We contacted Nicholas Tepper when we searching for a lawyer to help us sue Toyota. Toyota had violated our privacy during an aggressive marketing campaign where they cyber stalked us. This seems crazy but can be verified by reading details on Tepper’s blog. Anyway, long story short, the case has involved a ton of work and knowledge about marketing, fraud, cyberlaw, etc. Nick took on the Herculean task and has already won an appeal to the California Appeals Court! This is a very big deal because our case is now citable by other lawyers trying to protect clients from aggressive/​illegal fortune 500 marketing. Nick had the courage and foresight to take on a huge company successfully and we recommend him a hundred percent.

I could be wrong, but I get the impression the other reviews for TLF were from TLF staff.
I retained TLF for my landlord foreclosure case and received the absolute worst, information lacking experience I’ve ever encountered with a lawyer and his team. During our time, I heard things like «TMI» and was called «almost impossible to deal with» after stating I don’t enjoy begging for updates. I didn’t receive any email, text or voicemail as to the status of my case when given ample time and opportunity to respond before he made that claim. I was also given attitude and told ‘in the real world’, as if I’m living in another one, when I inquired about state law and online research in regards to concern with conflicting information. Nick suggested we file a civil suit for rent skimming. It’s doesn’t take a lawyer to know that rent skimming only applies to new home owners not paying their mortgage within the first 12 months of ownership with a tenants rent. Not only was Nick impossible to get a hold of, but he actually scheduled times to call me and never did multiple times. The one time he did, I wasn’t available due to a spontaneous event. Over the course of four months, I spoke with Nick 3 – 4 times. I attempted to get a hold of him by phone and email without success at least 25 times. My questions went consistently unanswered. Without going into further detail, I’ll summarize my experience by stating that it was all smoke and mirrors. Taking his advice would have caused me to breach the tenant-​landlord contract, making me susceptible to repercussions. If you need legal representation, I suggest you find someone with more positive reviews.
By the way, before anyone at TLF gets any ‘bright’ ideas and tries to go after my review, review section 230:

I was searching for an aggressive lawyer to handle a landlord/​tenant matter and that is exactly what I got with Nick. The bonus is that he is a really nice guy and pleasant to work with (unless you’re the opposition). They are very straight forward, they have very reasonable rates, no hidden costs, they return your calls and emails immediately and gets results quickly! They will be our GO-​TO firm for all future legal matters (as business owners, my husband and I have dealt with many LA firms in the past).

Nick, Heather, Andrea and the whole staff are one well-​oiled machine. Working together, they are the most professional and competent legal team I have ever experienced. They helped me with a landlord/​tenant dispute and got results so fast that I felt lucky to have them on my side. I was always able to get someone on the phone to talk about my case and they were always there answering emails, even on the weekends. When it comes to legal matters you don’t want anything to chance. Go with this team. They get their clients and the GET results.
