“It is a great pleasure for us to write a review for Segev LLP, especially about Alon Segev and Marius Adomnica. We had the privilege and fortune of having them as our attorneys, who represented our company in two different difficult legal cases. We can say very confidently, that Alon and his team, were the right and valuable choice for us. The first case was dealt with great professionalism, honesty, responsiveness and knowledge, which made the entire process smooth and effortless for us. We can firmly say that they acted and put forth their maximum energy and efforts to ensure the outcome of our case, catered to the best interest of our company.
Our second case, was very unique and extremely complicated. We assumed that many lawyers would not be interested to deal with this case, as it required a lot of efforts, energy and wisdom. We felt relieved and grateful that we were again in trustworthy hands and our proposed case would be conducted professionally, ethically and with the highest legal standards. We felt that Alon and Marius are highly knowledgeable and experienced in Real Estate law, and they can confidently guide and lead anyone to their most desired result.
During the whole process, there was an enormous amount of respect, care and dedication put into our cases, and we felt comfortable and at ease that our matters would be properly taken care of. We also would like to comment on the entire staff at Segev LLP, who were fabulous, intelligent and always available when we needed them.
