ACTS Law

Being an attorney myself I can tell you which firms are the real deal and which are not. ACTS law is an excellent firm with excellent attorneys. I want to signal out one attorney in particular - Allyson Ostrowski. Of all the attorneys I have met in my career she is easily one of the most intelligent, dedicated, and hard working. She is an exceptionally strong advocate and consistently achieves outstanding results for all of her clients - can't recommend her and ACTS law enough.
Our ACTS Law, Encino experience was definitely great and exceeded our expectations, being this was our first time seeking consultation on a possible malpractice case. The attorneys and staff were very professional, knowledgeable, thorough and sensitive to our situation. From the first contact all the way through the process they made us feel comfortable in the way they were handling our case. We really appreciated how they were in constant communication with us never leaving us to wonder if they were working on our case. We were very pleased with the outcome and would definitely recommend to family, friends and anyone in need of knowledgeable, professional attorneys. Thanks Attorney Ed, Bruce and your clerks Art and Brandon.

Ms Tia Kavanagh have been very helpful and transparent with me dealing with my case by following up with my phone calls and voicemails. She deserves the recognition and I highly recommend others to pursue her for anything… Thanks!
Tia Kavanagh, Paralegal
This Law Firm is by far the best. This paralegal specifically is the kindest person I have ever met. They answered each question thoroughly and precisely. They treated me with respect and dignity. They took time to explain my case and breakdown everything I did not understand. I wish Google review had more stars because it’s only appropriate to give this person double the amount. Please please take into consideration to ensure they receive a standing ovation tomorrow at work when everyone walks in. Tia Kavanagh is a blessing and ACTS is lucky to have Tia. Sincerely Michael Anthony Altamirano. 1-14-26 please consider a raise for this individual. Thank you
Alin Ghayvandian was not only a spectacular lawyer on my behalf, but a caring human being ( a rare quality in lawyers) who never made me wait for answers to any of my queries. I come from a family of lawyers. All of them could learn something from this lady. And by the way, the case was settledto my satisfaction. !
I recently had the pleasure after I was rear ended to work with Acts law and the firm took care of me from start to finish. I was introduced to acts law by referral to Manibog law who works with Acts law. Gilda helped me navigate through the whole process with ease as this was my first time in an accident and going through this process. She showed amazing professionalism and attention to detail she shows compassion and understanding always ensured if I had any questions she was always available and she sure went above and beyond and was an excellent point of contact. Gilda and the team was friendly and very knowledgeable especially when I had questions. Any appointments I had to go to she and the team made sure I was taken care of, The team always made me feel like they were family and I wasn’t just another case they took on. Once the final closing of my case was submitted I was very pleased and happy with the outcome. I will 100% refer acts law to anyone I come across as my expectations were exceeded. If you’re looking for a reputable law firm with compassion Acts law is a must, their excellent service provided was phenomenal.

All my gratitude to the incredibly hard working & dedicated people at Acts Law in Encino, California! Thank you especially to Mr. Evan Koncan, Mr. Heiner Guadarrama, & Ms. Adriana Bakalian for becoming a “power team” by working closely with all your clients through the process to create a favorable result! These people are not only incredibly persevering and diligent, they are all also the best communicators, quickly responsive to all inquiries, & committed to both their clients and Acts Law as an employer. These folks are also top tier professionals, who are fierce client advocates and this shows in the way they treat their clients, and also in how they care about their community! Every email & phone call from their clients is treated with respect and priority by each & every one of them. Also, they understand the stress of dealing with this circumstance on top of daily life stress, how it can affect their clients’ lives, and with that understanding they empathize and properly guide their clients, creating a more calming and level-headed approach to an already stressful situation.
Thank you again to Mr. Evan Koncan, Mr. Heiner Guadarrama, & Ms. Adriana Bakalian for all your incredible hard work, dedication, generous time, & especially kindness!
