Introducing Stewart Tabak ...
"Never compromise your integrity - never lose sight of the fact that you've been asked to represent somebody who's probably having one of the worst experiences of their life. Truly, they are your one and only concern, so keep their interests first. I didn't become a lawyer to make money. If I can just focus on doing a good job, and getting a good result, the money will follow. If you think about the money first, you're taking the wrong approach. Maybe I've just been fortunate that way - but it seems to work."
- Stew Tabak

"Thank you for all of the hard work you and your wonderful staff have done for us. We are truly grateful for everything you have done for us — you never gave up and always believed in us. I have complete faith in you and you’re very good at what you do. Even though my husband and I were nervous about going through jury trial and having to testify in front of strangers, you helped us to get through the nervousness and you gave us confidence with your support. It was so important that we went through the trial process, and incredibly satisfying that we proved our case to the jury and won. Again, thanks for standing with us."

"I came to know Tabak Law Firm in 2006 after losing my husband in a sudden and senseless tragedy. No one would tell me what happened and I needed answers! Mr. Stewart Tabak and his team researched and investigated for over a year and provided me with justice and answers! Tabak Law Firm is a highly professional team, yet they are able to give that special touch to whomever they are fighting for!"
- Holly S., client, Medical Malpractice Case resulting in Wrongful Death

"After the shock of losing my wife in a trucking accident, I finally settled down to look for an attorney. I consulted my cousin who runs a jury consulting business and works with attorneys all over the country. He gave me a list of lawyers whom he believes are the best lawyers in California. After looking through a few of their websites, I made an appointment with Mr. Tabak. Within 30 minutes of talking with Mr. Tabak about our case, I knew this was the guy; there was no need to look any further. Mr. Tabak and his staff handled our case with the utmost importance and professionalism, and went above and beyond to help us through the criminal case as well. At each step of the process Mr. Tabak was upfront and honest about the proceedings and always took the time to help us understand our case– he fought for us at every step of the way. It was refreshing– healing, even– to have Mr. Tabak and his office on our side; it was obvious how much they cared. After three years since my wife’s death both the civil and criminal cases are closed with the exact outcomes we wanted. All of this is because of Mr. Tabak. He and his staff are an incredible group of people who kept us at ease while dealing with this difficult process my family and I knew nothing about. Without them we would have been at a loss. Words truly cannot express how grateful we are for them."
