Rated 4.9 across 18 reviews on Yelp — with five-star reviews on Avvo & FindLaw
Honest, hard working and knowledgeable. I’ve used him on two separate occasions and highly recommend him.
He stood his ground and won me one of the two properties that I owned together with my ex.
Mr. Menache applied a calm-headed and professional attitude, unpacked the layers and resolved one issue at a time.
