"The San Francisco Housing Authority tried to evict me and my 8 year-old daughter from our subsidized unit. We had no other place to go. Ryan Vlasak defended us and kept us in our home."

"Michael Bracamontes always made time to speak with me personally and review over and over again the many time-consuming details involved in my complaint. He replied to my every e-mail and telephone message ... It is perhaps Michael Bracamontes' kindness and compassion, even above his work ethic and intelligence, that sets him apart from so many others. During the year I worked with Michael, I cannot recall one time when his demeanor was not cheerful and helpful. I dare say I never met another attorney with the same level of character."

"I was referred to Bracamontes & Vlasak by the Bar Association and could not have been happier. Ryan Vlasak represented me in a lockout case in my SRO and got me a six figure settlement. He kept me involved in the process and did a much better job than many other attorneys would have. Mr. Vlasak is a real credit to his profession. This firm helped me get back on my feet."

"Ryan Vlasak and Kristen Ross represented me in a case against my landlord. The case involved negligence with an ongoing serious noise nuisance. They were very professional and dealt with all issues in a timely manner. Mr. Vlasak and Ms. Ross always took time to answer my questions, and promptly returned calls and emails. My case ultimately went to a jury trial and we won. Mr. Vlasak and Ms. Ross did a great job representing me in court. I felt very fortunate having them as my attorneys."

"We started out with a notice that our tenancy was over, and that we were expected to move out March 2011. We are now writing this review from the same apartment we've had since 2009. Obvious success there. We have never had experience being evicted before, and not only were we able to fight it successfully with Ryan Vlasak's help, but we were calmed down every step of the nerve-racked way.
He was very professional during our meetings and phone calls, and he made it very easy to understand where we stood at any given point. Throughout this time, he was very understanding of our anxiety and told us that we didn't really have to do much.
There were several instances when we left several frantic messages on his phone and shot him a couple of emails, and all he told us to do was forward him what we got, and he'd check it out. After a day or two of stressful waiting, we'd hear this: don't worry about it, just sit tight. We know this sounds like it was a negative thing, but believe us when we say that this was one of the pluses of having Ryan on our side. He really took charge of the situation, and we could tell right away that he knew his stuff. Once we accepted this, the stress just evaporated.
Ryan Vlasak, and as far as we're concerned, Bracamontes & Vlasak, are "As good as it gets!" If we were faced again with any situation that escalated to a point beyond our ability to handle, Ryan would be our first stop."

"I had a harassment problem at work and consulted attorney Ryan Vlasak. He promptly filed a complaint on my behalf. Throughout the process, Ryan was detailed and aggressive in negotiating with my employer. He knew when to push on and when to talk settlement. As a result, I ended up with a larger settlement than I had expected. I highly recommend Ryan Vlasak and Bracamontes & Vlasak law firm. All of the attorneys there are sharp, professional, and a pleasure to work with."

"Finding the right lawyer for one's needs is always challenging and rarely assured. We consulted with five lawyers to assist on a legal matter. At the end of the process, however, we found ourselves with more questions than answers. We were fortunate to come to Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C., where we met with Michael Bracamontes and were comforted by his thoughtful counsel and reassuring manner. Once we began to work with him, we grew to appreciate his professionalism, dedication, and quiet confidence. Michael is an excellent lawyer, and we could not have asked for a better individual to help us navigate a complex and difficult situation."

"I was discriminated against and wrongfully terminated from my job. This was a time that was already very difficult for me. I retained Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. to file a lawsuit against my former employer. Ryan Vlasak was my attorney and I would have been really screwed without him. I was basically on the streets while my lawsuit was happening and Vlasak ensured that my deposition and mediation went well. Ryan Vlasak and the staff at Bracamontes & Vlasak helped me out far above and beyond the scope of typical services provided by most attorneys. Vlasak prepared the case for trial and shunned all low-ball offers. I was very fortunate to find this firm for my case."

"I had a very successful experience when I consulted Ryan Vlasak. He was so thorough that a single letter from him and his explanation of my legal rights convinced the other party and prevented me from taking any further legal action. I highly recommend attorney Vlasak."

"When I was seriously injured in my apartment building and hospitalized I consulted the Bracamontes & Vlasak law firm for advice. Ryan Vlasak saw to my case personally, met me at the hospital, hired expert doctors, and litigated my case for well over a year. I never paid anything and Vlasak and his team were always responsive and proactive in my case. In the end, I received a million dollar settlement-which was much more than I had expected! This is a law firm and attorney you can trust and will want on your side."

"I contacted Ryan's office as a last resort to see if I had any legal rights in my case. He was very quick to respond and after our initial consultation, I realized I should have contacted him a lot sooner. He is very professional and quick to help. Without his assistance I know that I would still be overwhelmed and feeling like I had no options. I am so grateful that we were able to work together, for his taking my case, and for his negotiating a favorable outcome on my behalf."

"I recently had the pleasure of being represented by Ryan Vlasak of Bracamontes & Vlasak, P.C. law firm. I was a plaintiff in a case that dealt with both wrongful termination and sexual harassment. The tremendous quality of professionalism and respect for my persona demonstrated by the attorneys I worked with at Bracamontes & Vlasak was extraordinary. The work which was accomplished during the grueling months of my battle for justice was worth every penny. The attorneys are highly motivated and responsive. My professional identity and my 'name' were never at risk during this uphill battle for my constitutional rights. I would strongly recommend this law firm to anyone who feels they've been victimized. I will definitely refer all my law related queries to these guys, because I know the end result will be favorable."

"My elderly parents were the victims of elder abuse and were defrauded into a reverse mortgage. As a result they lost their home. I came to Bracamontes & Vlasak for help. Ryan Vlasak represented my parents in a lawsuit against the lenders and mortgage companies and my parents got their home back. Mr. Vlasak always took the time to inform us of our options and keep us updated. It was also obvious that he cared about getting the house back - and that is exactly what happened."

"I came to Bracamontes & Vlasak with a business dispute because my products got recalled due to the negligence of another party. I had lost income and was losing more clients. Ryan Vlasak and his firm did a great job for me. They secured a six figure settlement I was very happy with for very little money up front. I talk to a lot of people in my business and always talk these guys way up!"

"Dear Michael,
Once again you pulled me from the fire. Without a doubt your analysis of the issue was "right on." The strategy you recommended resulted in me achieving the desired result with minimal risk of money and time. Hopefully I do not need to resort to legal services in the future, but if the need arises you are top on my list. Be well and thank you."

"Had many great experiences using these guys. As a lot of us all know, finding good legal representation isn't the easiest thing to do, but when you do find it, you stick with them.
Been with them for a long time and have no plans to change. They are extremely sharp, knowledgeable, precise, professional and patient, which is key when dealing with matters that are complex. Michael Bracamontes does a great job at being available when needed and very prompt when it comes to returning emails and messages.
I've given them several referrals and will continue to do so."
