"I am grateful to George Atallah for his prompt responsiveness, professionalism, and exceptional care throughout my structural engineering inspection. From our first conversation, George’s integrity and character were evident. His attention to detail reflected not only his experience and technical knowledge, but also his genuine commitment to doing things right. What stood out most was his approach. Without any prompting from me, George inspected my deck with an “if it were my own family” mindset. He brought a level of care, thoughtfulness, and personal responsibility to his work that made a lasting impression on me. That combination of expertise and integrity is both rare and reassuring. I left the experience feeling that my concerns had been taken seriously and that the inspection had been conducted with the thoroughness and independent judgment that such an important matter deserves. I would wholeheartedly recommend George to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, conscientious structural engineer who approaches his work with both professional excellence and genuine care for the people who depend on it."

"I've worked with George and Marcelo on several projects now, and have nothing but GREAT things to say about them. They have been responsive to our clients questions and their plans are clear and very easy to understand. I highly recommend them and as a bonus, they also provide land surveying, so I can work with them as a one stop shop!"

"As a remodeling contractor, having a structural engineer I can actually count on makes all the difference, and that's exactly what we've had with Marcelo and George at Lebra Engineering & Design. We've worked with them for over three years and they're our go-to on every project that needs structural support. They're responsive, efficient, and — most importantly — genuinely available when we need them. Remodels never go exactly to plan, and more than once we've hit a surprise after demo that meant rethinking the structural approach. Every time, Marcelo and George have jumped in quickly to help us modify the plan and keep the job moving. That kind of reliability is hard to find. Highly recommend them to any contractor or homeowner who needs structural engineering done right."
