I was not a client due to lack of wanting to work with the presented case. She seemed to have dismissed us immediately, yet was willing to take a $2500.00 retainer if we had decided to go with this office. Luckily went back to Robin Reno, paid HALF THE RETAINER and got EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED. Thanks, for your reply, dropped your rating yet another star.

I paid a retainer and was told if my case did not go to court( which it did not) that I would more than likely get some of my money back. Before my case even went to the mediator I was charged enough to pretty much max out my retainer. Jessica overcharged me for our first meeting, that she was 20-25 minutes late for because of another meeting. Than during my time talking to her she stated theirs no magic number in which a child can live with the other parent, so I go online and lo and behold California law states that when a child is 14, the child may go in front of court to state their case on why they would like to move. I felt she was biased towards moms and I was left out of the loop while she tried talking to my exes attorney. Even though I was paying her to request what I wanted, she negated that and did her own thing. When I called her out on it she became defensive and rude. Money definitely not spent well. I wish I had went with a different attorney.

I was fortunate enough to have been represented by Jessica Dorn at Borton Petrini. I truly can't say enough good things about her and her ability as a family law attorney! Jessica has been a blessing during a difficult divorce and custody process as well as a guardianship case. She was highly recommended to me for good reason, and I would glady refer any of my friends/family to her, to assist them in such an emotional and stressful process. Not only is she knowledgable, tenacious and professional when dealing with these types of situations, but she is also kind, compassionate, understanding, empathetic, and its obvious that she truly cares about her clients and their needs. She never made me feel rushed, unheard or judged throughout this process and she has a way of taking an excessive amount of information, jumbled with opinions and emotion, and making it into a concise statement that gets the point across. Jessica has been there for me whenever I needed advice or just someone to talk to about what I was going through. She has offered advice, suggestions and provided resources depending on the needs of myself and my children. She always finds a way to be a calming voice and has a natural way of reassuring all of the irrational worries that go along with custody issues. Whether by phone, email or appt, I know that if any situation arises I can contact her to keep her updated and she is very good about communicating in return. Again, I highly recommend Jessica Dorn and appreciate all of the time and energy she has put into helping me through this incredibly scary and stressful process!

Attorney Lauren Franzella represented me for my divorce and child custody case. Her intimate knowledge of California family law was evident at the consultation, and proved reliable throughout the process. Along with the help of her assistant Yolanda, they guided me through the muddled court system. The law office of Borton and Petrini came through for me at a very difficult time in my life. If you are in need of a family law attorney, Lauren is one of the best in the business.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Sarah Ornelas. She was not only extremely professional but she also made you feel comfortable. I never felt like I was a "bother" to her like other lawyers have made me feel in the past. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and was able to get everything that I expected and more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can "depend on".

I Can honestly say I had an amazing experience. One of the hardest things for me is being understood. Legal matters can be quite overwhelming and my experience was not what I expected. My attorney was extremely professional. She listened and understood. Other attorneys wouldn’t listen long enough or cut you short because they hear only what they want to hear. That was not the case here. My attorney listened to me and understood me entirely. This helped make my case very easy to handle. I was always updated and never had a hard time contacting her. I highly recommend this firm! Thank you!

I have used the legal services at Borton Petrini for both my business and personal business over many years. Their attorneys are accessible, trustworthy, knowledgable, and affordable. I cannot say enough good things about this law firm! I highly recommend them to any individual or business who needs TOP NOTCH legal advice and services! Special thanks and kudos to Attorney Phillip Avila!!
