Stebner Gertler & Guadagni

Steiner Gertler & Guadagni was amazing to work with. During a dark time in my life they gave me hope and ended up winning the case for me and my family. I cannot thabk them enough. If you or anyone else is looking for someone to bring peace and justice to your family then I would 100% recommend them.

My mom lost her ability to walk (due to a serious head injury) after being neglected at a memory care facility. I contacted Kirsten Fish (at NFK Law), and she partnered with Karman Guadagni at Stebner Gertler & Guadagni. From the very first moment I met with them, I felt reassured, supported, and stronger. My mother did not deserve to be in this condition, and I felt so hurt and frustrated by the memory care's lack of accountability and callousness. Karman and Kirsten were so intentional and kind, and they fought very hard to get the facility to own their multiple mistakes. My mom still cannot walk, but the care she receives now is spectacular. I owe Kirsten and Karman so much for taking her case and fighting on her behalf. She will likely live a longer, more comfortable life. I never thought I would ever pursue litigation, but after dealing with both NFK and SGG law firms, I know I did the right thing with the most amazing team.

I would highly recommend this law firm to anybody that needs help in elder abuse cases. They came through like heros for my father.. defended him, and fought for him when all other attorneys wouldn’t touch his case. They’re very professional and attentive and they keep in communication when dealing with your case . They’re very personable , caring and hard working to make sure you get the outcome that is fair and right ! They truly became like family ! Please don’t hesitate to call them for any assistance that you may need for your family ! 👍🏼👍🏼😊

I speak for a living, and I do not know enough words to properly convey to you how much I deeply respect this company. Karmen took the lead, always treating me with care and respect. The entire firm fought for my family and me, always listening to my input and answering any questions I had. I highly recommend the Stebner Gertler & Guadagni law firm.

Stebner Gertler & Guadagni just won a case on behalf of our mother who passed away after receiving negligent care from a rehabilitation facility. They were able to get us an award which was a good deal more than what we expected. Throughout the process these attorneys and their staff were extremely responsive, professional, kind and quite likable! They aren’t just great attorneys, they’re also great people. God forbid I ever need such services again but, if I did, I would use them again without hesitation. They deserve the best ratings, 5 stars! I highly recommend them!

My brothers and I were so fortunate to be referred to Stebner Gertler & Guadagni, a law firm that specializes in Elder Abuse litigation. Our mom passed away due to negligence committed by a well regarded memory care facility in the Bay Area. We worked with Karman Guadagni, the managing partner at SG&G. Karman was very professional, capable, honest and compassionate. She managed our case with care and attention and she kept us informed as to the progress of our case and the firm's investigation. We also want to thank Kathryn Stebner, an experienced, strategic negotiator, and Deena Zacharin, a warm and compassionate fact finder who rounded out our excellent team at SG&G. There is no winner in a situation such as this, but the most important aspect to our settlement was that Karman took the initiative to request that the owner of the facility write a letter to my family detailing the changes that were made to policies and procedures based on my mom's care and ultimate death. Lastly, for those of you that might be intimidated to call a law firm, I would encourage you to make that call to SG&G. You will find their staff to be extremely helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. Thank you SG&G.

Karman Guadagni expertly handled a very complicated and lengthy case for one of my disabled adult patients. Karman was always available with advice and helped my patient win her case with a great outcome. I would certainly use Stebner Gertler & Guadagni again and I recommend them to any one who needs a great legal team.

The team at Stebner Gertler & Guandagni was amazing throughout our entire case. They clearly communicated expectations and prepared us for every part of the process. They were friendly, compassionate, and highly professional. I am very grateful that we had them on our side. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Kathryn, Karman, Deena and Kelsey were incredibly supportive during the worst ordeal I have dealt with, my beloved Dad's accidental death. They were always available, incredibly communicative, kind, sympathetic and absolute warriors on my Dad's behalf. I would not have been able to get through this without them. I am eternally grateful for their help.

We are so grateful to the team at Steiner Gertler & Guadagni. After loosing my Mom a few years ago due to a horrible accident due to the negligence of the facility she was at. A friend of my wife, had referred us to Steiner Gertler & Guadagni. I had the pleasure of speaking with Karman, who was compassionate, understanding and very supportive through this whole journey. Everyone at this law firm is exceptional, supportive and by far the most knowledgeable team and never gave up fighting for justice for my mom. I can’t thank you enough!!

Stebner Gertler & Guadagni is the team you want to fight for your loved one. My brother and I were beside ourselves when we lost our beloved mother due to negligence at a care facility. We didn’t know what to do. It was a blessing when we found Stebner Gertler & Guadagni. Karman, Kathryn, and the team are a power team that fights for change, truly cares, and will do due diligence and turn every stone to stand up for you and your loved one. Karman Guadagni and Kathryn Stebner are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and extremely dedicated attorneys who care for the safety and dignity of senior citizens. They gave my brother and me closure during an extremely difficult time, but most importantly, they gave our mother a voice. My brother and I are eternally grateful to them. I highly recommend them!

Stebner,Gertler,Guadagni and Kawamato were so incredibly kind and helpful with my and my mother's case. Deena Zacharin was my defense attorney. She was compassionate with my case but really tough when it mattered during the deposition. I felt supported and was well informed. Karman M. Guadagni was diligent with all of the details and correspondence concerning the case as well as a pleasure to work with. . Kathryn Stebner is a gifted lawyer who really cares about people and standing up for cases that matter. It was an honor to have her represent my family and we are grateful to her and her staff.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is hard, dealing with an untimely death that necessitates litigation is beyond comprehension when you're grieving, but it's sometimes the choice you need to make. Our family had no experience with lawsuits and that's daunting. Kathryn, Karman and their entire team gently guided us through every step of the process. Everything was explained in a thorough but easy to understand way, making us feel cared for and confident in their expertise. All decisions were ours to make; at no point did we feel pressured to do anything that made us uncomfortable. We can't recommend Stebner, Gertler, Guadagni and Kawamoto highly enough, nor can we imagine where we would be if we had not been referred to them. In the end, their hard work led to what we felt was a just and fair settlement.

During a very difficult time for our family, I reached out to George Kawamoto with Stebner-Gertler-Guadagni & Kawamoto Law Firm. From that moment on, my worries were put at ease. Each and every part of my experience with this reputable law firm was handled with precise expertise. At any time, I was able to reach out and always receive a pleasant, caring, and informative response back. Even though there were other very important cases they were working on, they always gave me the time I needed to be reassured and put at ease. The time span from start to finish for my case was planned out precisely and I was informed as to what to expect ahead of time. I can't praise George and Kathryn and all their associates for how they eased the pain for our family and also had a successful outcome. I never would have thought I could afford help and representation, but they made it all happen and was there for me. Having the faith and confidence in your legal representation is the most important aspect when things have gone wrong in your life and you simply don't know where to turn. You can be assured that you can have the support and backing your need with this law firm.

My mother was in a long term nursing home, which resulted in complications that were beyond my own comprehension and expertise to manage single-handedly. After extensive online research, I was grateful to have found Stebner & Associates. Kathryn, George, and the team were very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly - compassionate. They helped every step of the way to find resolution and get my mom back to a safe environment. Since then, I’ve recommended them personally to friends in need of help for their own parents, as I am confident that their focused long term and elderly care experience can be applied to a broad range of individual needs. I will always remember and be grateful for the help this team provided for my family and mom.

This firm represented my father in a very emotional and complicated injury at a nursing home. I worked directly with George Kawamoto, who is more than just a terrific guy. He treated my parents with kindness and respect. Everyone at the firm including Kathryn and Karman were very accessible and always kept us up to speed, promptly answered our questions, and set realistic expectations. It felt great trusting our lawyers were on top of everything so we could focus on my dad's recovery. I highly recommend them.

This review is long overdue. The Stebner firm has been so important to the quality of life that my grandmother has had over the last few years. After suffering a traumatic fall and horrific injuries the Stebner firm stepped in to guide my grandmother and mother through the difficult process of personal injury/elder abuse litigation. I am confident that without the work of the Stebner team my grandma would not still be with us. She would not have experienced the birth of her first great-grandchild, countless birthdays, holidays and quality time with family. The Stebner firms fights for dignity for the aging and they showed that commitment in every aspect of the case they handled for my grandma. Thank you Kathryn, George, and Kelly!

"Upon learning of an abuse to my Father in a nursing home, I was faced with a very difficult decision as how to further protect him from more assaults, and keep him in a safe and healthy environment. My frustration grew with the facility's administration and their lack of responsibility and care for my Father. As I put details together from the abuse that was initially scoffed as a very minor incident, to when I found out the perpetrator had been arrested without my knowledge, I knew I needed to speak with someone as I was confused what to do. I was very reluctant to seek legal advice, not knowing if I had any rights on behalf of my Father, but had to be an advocate for him, as he could not do it on his own being a Dementia patient. But the lack of concern by the facility forced me into a decision I would not soon regret. I contacted Stebner and Associates, who after a phone interview, invited me to provide them more information regarding my Father's abuse and a history of his stay at the facility. After a meeting with Karman, I realized I had made the right decision in contacting them, and felt very at ease with how she said the Firm would look into the details of the complaint and let me know if this was a case to be pursued against the Facility. I appreciated her honesty, as I was still afraid what happened to my Father would not be deemed worthy of a lawsuit. Shortly thereafter, Karman contacted me to let me know the Firm would like to represent my Father, and I soon found out it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Their compassion, professionalism, and the ability to be a formidable advocate on behalf of my Father were unprecedented. Kathryn, Karman and Anoush worked hard and fought for the justice my Father deserved, and I will forever be thankful to them for their empathy for what was a difficult and sensitive time for the family. At the conclusion of the lawsuit, I actually felt I had another family who was by my side the whole time, and if my Father were able to understand what they did for him, he would be extremely proud and thankful."

During one of the hardest years of my life I was in need of legal assistance and found Katherine Stebner by way of a friends coworker. I set up an initial meeting and a couple weeks later she agreed to represent me and My Dad. Long battle over, she won my case. My Dad can now rest in peace. Thank you George & Katherine for helping me.
