This firm is professional and knowledgeable. They are capable of taking on the largest of opponents, ie the government. Haddad and Sherwin are willing and able to take each case to court, not merely settling for an inadequate settlement. Thanks again.

I can’t recommend Michael Haddad and Julia Sherwin enough. They were extremely professional, a pleasure to work with, and the outcome was exceptional. Their preparation was meticulous and their execution of that during my trial was brilliant. In fact, they were glaringly superior to the opposing attorney and his case. I rate them as excellent.

We can’t say enough good things about Haddad & Sherwin. They are sincere, compassionate, caring and professional, as is their whole staff. We don’t know how we would have made it through this awful time in our lives. They went up and beyond. They are extremely knowledgeable and kept us informed every step of the way. They treated us with respect and dignity. They were able to change reforms in policy and training for first responders for the City of Napa so what happened to our grand-daughter will not happen to another child. They continue to honor our grand-daughter which is much appreciated. I highly recommend them.

“Haddad & Sherwin are professionals as well as friends. They were there for me and my family every step of the way. Even after we won our case, they still continue to check on us and see if we need help with anything. I trust these people to the fullest. If you’re wondering who you should choose as lawyers, you should choose Haddad & Sherwin. They will get you justice.”

Karl Debro

“Julia & Michael stood up for me when no one else would – smart, fearless, relentless & funny.”

Danielle Burfine

“Michael and Julia worked tirelessly to get justice against the City of Santa Clara and its police department for my family. Not only did they win my case, they cared about me and what I went through. They believed me even before there was video evidence to back up my story. They are two of the most honest and compassionate people I know. It’s comforting to know that there are people like Michael and Julia out there fighting against police injustices and brutality. By fighting for me they sent the message that we won’t let police get away with abusing their power by breaking the laws they are sworn to uphold. They are truly my heroes and I will be forever grateful that they were in my corner.”

Carl Edwards

“When I met with Haddad Sherwin I was skeptical about the world and needed help and that’s exactly what everybody with this team of highly competent professionals did for me. They served me justice and changed my life.”
