    They Are Great in Many, Many Ways
    They are great in many, many ways and better than any other law firm. They use technology to keep you informed during the process. They handle everything via text or email; you don’t have to go to their office at all. They find you doctors and therapists around your area, even virtual doctors, and the best part is that they negotiate with doctors' offices to get you a bigger settlement. They got me 50% in my pocket. They provide excellent services, not only accidents, even criminal law. They are the best.

    Working with Kevin helped me regain control
    I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding service I received from Kevin at 1st California Law in handling my bankruptcy case. Navigating financial hardship is never easy, and the decision to file for bankruptcy can feel overwhelming, stressful, and emotionally draining. From my very first consultation, Kevin demonstrated professionalism, knowledge, and compassion that immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was Kevin’s ability to clearly explain every step of the bankruptcy process in a way that was thorough yet easy to understand. Legal procedures can often feel intimidating, but he took the time to answer all of my questions patiently and honestly. He made sure I understood my options, the potential outcomes, and what would be required of me throughout the process. That level of transparency helped build trust and confidence during a very uncertain time in my life. Kevin was also highly organized and detail-oriented. He guided me carefully through the documentation process and ensured that everything was prepared accurately and submitted on time. His responsiveness was especially impressive—whenever I had concerns or needed clarification, he or his office responded promptly. Knowing that my case was being handled with care and efficiency significantly reduced my stress. Beyond his legal expertise, Kevin showed genuine empathy. Bankruptcy is more than just paperwork; it represents a major life transition. He treated my situation with respect and without judgment, which meant a great deal to me. Instead of feeling embarrassed or discouraged, I felt supported and reassured that I was taking the right steps toward a fresh financial start. Throughout the entire process, Kevin maintained a high level of professionalism. Court appearances and communications were handled smoothly, and I felt well-prepared at every stage. His experience and confidence were evident, and that gave me peace of mind. Thanks to his guidance, what initially felt like an overwhelming situation became manageable and ultimately empowering. I highly recommend Kevin at 1st California Law to anyone considering bankruptcy or seeking knowledgeable legal counsel for debt relief. His expertise, integrity, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. If you are looking for an attorney who combines professionalism with compassion and clear communication, Kevin is an excellent choice. Working with Kevin helped me regain control of my financial future, and for that I am truly grateful. -Ms Avalos

    No judgment, no BS, no runaround.
    I never thought I’d be writing a review for a bankruptcy attorney, but Kevin deserves it. From day one, he treated me like a real person, not a case file. He broke everything down in plain English, cut through the fear and confusion, and handled stuff I didn’t even know how to ask about. When my IRS situation turned out to be way more complicated than I expected, Kevin didn’t flinch. He dug in, explained exactly what was happening, and guided me through every detail like a pro who actually cares. If you’re overwhelmed, embarrassed, or just exhausted from trying to figure things out on your own, stop and call Kevin. He’s sharp, honest, fast, and knows this world inside out. No judgment, no BS, no runaround. Just real help when you need it the most. Highly recommend.

    I totally recommend 1st California Law.
    I totally recommend 1st California Law. I did a lot of research before starting our bankruptcy with many attorneys, and I prayed about it. When I came across this law firm, I had a good gut feeling, so I decided to give them a call, and since the first phone call, I felt their professionalism and compassion for my questions and nervousness. They worked with me through all my case step by step. If you're looking for a great professional law firm, don't hesitate in contacting them, they are great. Thank you, 1st California Law Firm, for all your help.

    Kevin was so great from beginning to end. Bankruptcy can be stressful because you don’t know what to expect, but he took away all the stress and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I just did the simple instructions that he gave me. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. I will be recommending him to anybody who might be in my situation. Thanks again, Kevin!

    I highly recommend Kevin and his team. Kevin was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Always answered any questions and always responded right away or in a timely manner. He went above and beyond. This was a very difficult time for my family and me, and our finances took a toll as well. It was a big relief to be able to put our finances on Kevin's shoulders, so to speak, while we took care of important personal issues at the time. After it's all said and done, the process went very smoothly, Kevin and his team took care of everything for us. Thank you and I highly recommend Kevin and his team if you need a fresh start.

    Truly a Turning Point for Me
    I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d have to file for bankruptcy. I was drowning in debt, had even been served, and felt completely ashamed. I honestly thought I had hit rock bottom. I was scared, overwhelmed, and didn’t know where to turn. Reaching out to an attorney felt like such a huge, intimidating step— and I wasn’t even sure if I could trust the person on the other end. Finding Attorney Kevin Kunde, Esq. at 1st California Law Inc. was truly a turning point for me. From the very beginning, he treated me with compassion and respect. He didn’t judge me or make me feel worse— instead, he helped me understand my options, explained everything clearly and patiently, and made me feel like I finally had someone in my corner. He walked me through the bankruptcy process step by step and was always available to answer my questions and ease my concerns. What felt like an impossible situation slowly started to feel manageable. Thanks to Attorney Kunde, I’ve been able to move forward and breathe again. If you’re feeling lost, scared, or ashamed like I was, please know that you’re not alone—and you can get through this. I highly recommend Kevin Kunde, Esq. at 1st California Law Inc. He truly cares about his clients, and I’m so grateful I found him when I did. So reach out to him, you will not regret it!! Elizabeth F. Ruiz

    They Have Earned My Business for Life
    The integrity at Kal Law lies in the way they deeply care for their clients. From my initial inquiry phone call to receiving my settlement check, I felt very supported every step of the way. Legal matters are a long and grueling process, but the team here at Kal Law made it a very smooth, comfortable, and easy process. Everything is handled with the utmost importance. Kausar was very diligent, making sure I understood everything very clearly. She was readily available for questions and concerns. When the case transitioned to Mark and Bianca, communication and clarity from the team was always a priority. Clients are usually not aware of the work that takes place behind the scenes, so it was a very comforting experience to be involved in every step of the way. It showed me how hard they fight for me. I really appreciate the team’s overall efforts. I felt deeply cared for and protected. They have earned my business for life. I know no one else will have my back like these guys here at Kal Law.

    Kevin and his team are truly the best
    Kevin and his team are truly the best man! After looking around for quite a bit I contacted them and started the process. Their pricing is by far the best and for the service, it's unreal. This is a process so for any newcomers in bankruptcy please be patient. They have a lot of cases and will get to you accordingly! Of course, you need to make sure you have everything also on your end. Like your personal info, debts, etc. It did take about 3 weeks after payment for them to start working on my case but once they did it was all good from there. We went over my debts, what I wanted to include in the Ch. 7. After submitting everything, to file it took about a month from when I first reached out to them! Then about another month for my 341 meeting. Now I'm just waiting for the discharge notice and cannot express how happy I am that I chose Kevin and his team! Again please be patient, this is a process and not something that can be done in a week, can take about 3-4 months. While there may not be a lot of communication, they always respond immediately when I would reach out to them! 10/10 recommend them, thank you Kevin for this fresh start that I needed.
