I hired Mr. Austin to represent me in my family law child custody case. As a father seeking more time with my children, I didn’t know how to effectively argue my case before the court, or what rights and privileges I had. Mr. Austin took my case enthusiastically, and from the get go was compassionate, understanding of the details of my case, and always made me feel heard. Mr. Austin effectively communicated my thoughts and requests of the court in all declarations and paperwork. He was fast in responding to all queries via phone, email, and text. He also talked with me frequently via phone throughout the whole process and gave me a much needed sense of security going into court. On the day of the hearing, Mr. Austin faithfully argued my side and represented me in all matters to the judge and the other attorney. He was calm, professional, and got me most of what I was requesting from the court. If you want a caring, compassionate, and effective lawyer to represent you in your family law case, I highly recommend Mr. Gary Austin. I will be requesting his services in a heart beat in the future should the need arise.

The law office of shauna Albright has greatly helped me through my child custody and child support case. Attorney Albright and her team are amazing. This law firm is the best family law firm out there. I won my case thanks to Mrs. Albright and her amazing team!

I hired Mr. Austin about may of this year regarding a custody battle with the father of my son. He wanted more time with our son and had several accusations against me. When hiring Mr. Austin I had no idea what to expect. But Mr. Austin did his job really well. He was Continuously communicating about my case. Always wanting to know any new information to help my case. He is reliable when it comes to reaching him out. He will contact you back as soon as possible. I was really pleased with his service. Court went really well and the outcome of it couldn't be any more pleasant. I want to thank him so much for his help. Situations like this can be really stressful speacially when the battle is over your own child but luckily their are people like Mr. Austin ready to help.

I hired Mr. Austin for a custody dispute. My ex was trying to get full custody of my daughter. I was scared and didn't want to trust my case to just anyone. I have hired a couple attorneys in the past and know that there are good attorneys and bad ones. I am so happy that I hired Mr. Austin. He is professional, he knows the law and is excellent in court. Although he doesn't share this, I discovered that he has represented an individual in a very high profile case in the past. He got me everything I wanted. My daughter is with me and I now get to have peace of mind. I would recommend him to anyone. Also, as a bonus - he is married and has a small child too. He completely related to my case and understood that my daughter was very important to me. If there is any negative, I would say that he is very down to earth. I find this as a positive but if you are looking for the stuffy suit and tie type of attorney - he is not it. He is VERY professional but down to earth. He will put you at ease and not talk down to you. All and all, I had a great experience and would recommend him to anyone.

Very professional, very into getting whats fair for the client. They were always on time and knew what it would take to resolve the case. This is how it should be done.

Having been, unfortunately, involved in family law issues for the better part of 14 years, I had become familiar with all aspects of family law. The good, bad and the ugly. When I decided to retain the services of the Law Offices of Shauna M. Albright, I did so with much reservation based on past experiences. I must say at the conclusion of my case, I can honestly say my experience with this Law firm was my most positive experience in dealing with family law issues and law firms. Ms. Farook, my direct attorney was great. She kept me informed and was knowledgeable and informative throughout 9 months of litigation. All the assistants were helpful as well. I found the billing to be fair and accurate. I never felt over charged and in fact even their rates went down during the case. Though family law is never inexpensive, I felt every penny was well spent. I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Shauna M. Albright to anyone in need of professional services when involved in family law litigation.

I would like to start with how grateful I was that I found Ms Albright and her team. Ms Albright and her team made me believe there was hope for fathers when it comes to custody. In 2003 I lost all hope in the court system because I lost, almost, all of my rights to my daughter. During court in 2003, the whole court preceding was one sided and my lawyer at this time did nothing. The judge did not let me speak, bring evidence or anything, I felt robbed and discourage. Since 2003 I was scared of the possibility of having to go to court, because I did not want to lose any more time with my daughter. In 2014 I had enough. There were too many games being played and most of all, my daughter needed me. I contacted three different law offices and left messages with all three. Two of the three law offices contacted me back and after talking with them, I felt lost and hopeless, just as I did in 2003. My emotions went ramped and my confidence went out the door. I felt “screwed” so I went for a drive to clear my head and I prayed and prayed for help. Then my phone rang. I remember it perfectly; I was in my car, at the Petco Parking lot when Shauna called me. I talked with Shauna for about 45 minutes, explaining what was going on and expressing my feelings about the family court system. After our conversation my confidence was slightly raised and I felt hope. This was the beginning of a two year custody battle. Throughout this two year custody battle Ms Albright helped me become confident in what I was doing and why I was going to court. Ms Albright and her team helped in getting everything (being prepared) ready for court and to cover every angle. Ms Albright also covered every possible rebuttal which the other side could make. What made me very confident was, watching Ms Albright in court, she was AWESOME. Ms Albright was a master of her craft. After the first day of court and watching Ms Albright, my confidence was through the roof. After three day of court, I watch Ms Albright disproof everything the opposing side was claiming, showed how un prepared they were, showed how many excuses they could come up with in two hours, made them recant thing they said and showed the true colors of the opposing party. It was awesome. Unfortunately after the three days of court, the judge allowed my daughter to remain with her mother, but with guidelines. Strict guidelines Ms Albright fought for to impose and a new court date 4 months out. On the second court hearing after the initial three, Ms Albright returned with force. Showing the court how the guidelines were not fulfilled and how unwilling the opposing party was to follow them. Needless to say, my daughter is now living with me and she is so happy. I owe it all to Ms Albright and her team. Thank you Ms Albright, from the bottom of my heart, I am glad we made contact over the phone that day. You really brought back the faith in the court system.

Trusted counsel and great advocate. By far the best family law attorney in Southern California.

After a very long (3 1/2 years) battle in court over custody and finalizing all the final divorce issues, I have to say that SHAUNA ALBRIGHT is by far the biggest blessing to me and our children! She constantly fought, keeping their "BEST INTEREST" at the forefront and continued to remain faithful to me (even when it got rough or continuances continued to stretch matters out), not just as a client but as a friend! When I was searching for an attorney to represent me, I knew I needed someone who was going to be STRONG, DETERMINED, CARING, and someone who was willing to be in for the long haul. There is a reason she has the highest marks on her AVVO scores! SHE IS THE BEST your money can get, for representation for your divorce (even highly contested like mine was) and custody disputes (even highly contested like mine was). Her entire staff works diligently to get all details precise and they handle your matters in a prompt manner as well. If you're looking for an attorney who will not only be on your side (not just because you're paying her), but invest in you because you, as a person, MATTER (and your children matter), then I highly suggest you call her office NOW!

Gary S Austin is a lawyer with integrity and cares about his clients side being represented in court. He was thorough at investigating the facts of my case prior to the court to prepare my case. Thanks to Gary's defense, my case was proven in my favor. I highly endorse Gary Austin as a Criminal Defense Lawyer.

If you have a parole problem this is you man.He is quite simply the best. I'm extremely fortunate to have had him represent me. You could not find a better more professional attorney. He might not respond to every phone call but his work speaks for itself. Mr. Austin deserves two thumbs up!!! Michael Ornellas- Hawaii
