I found Kate to be helpful, understanding, knowledgeable and consultative. She is efficient with her billable hours and very available. She has many years of experience in family which means there's not much she has seen or experienced. At the same time, she's completely willing to reach out to her colleagues for help if she thinks it will help your case. I would happily recommend Kate Rockas for your family law needs.

I highly recommend Kate Rockas. She is smart, strategic, experienced, and she cares about her clients. Kate was recommended to me by someone going through a divorce. Kate was representing his wife. He said she was "killing" him in court. Kate took my case, a very complex and high conflict custody dispute, despite the fact that other lawyers said that there was nothing they could do to help me. From our first meeting I knew that Kate was the right lawyer for me. At the time I felt like nobody understood my unusual situation, but Kate did. Kate possesses a rare combination of legal acumen and an understanding of human psychology and behavior that makes her counsel invaluable. I especially recommend Kate if you are dealing with a complicated situation that requires someone who can think "outside the box" or involves personality, or mental health issues. I cannot say how grateful I am that I found Kate, she is an expert at what she does and she works extremely hard to secure the best interests of her clients.

Marie was absolutely wonderful to work with! She assisted me with custody issues I was having with my ex. She was very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, efficient and reliable. She was thoughtful and really took the time to explain my rights and court processes. She understands what it means to be a good parent fighting for the right to be with your child. I will most definitely call on her again should the need arise. Thanks a million Marie! :)

Ms. Breiner is intelligent, knowledgeable, focused, and empathetic. Our experience with her was definitely 5 star in comparison with other, more difficult interactions with previous estate and trust attorneys.

Marie helped me with my prenup. What a great experience I have had. Very high level of professionalism. Always on time and the most important, she was always there when I need to ask her anything. I would recommend her services anytime.

Highly recommended.

Seriously, I researched so many DUI lawyers and no one can help you like Paul can. It's been a year since mine and I am SO grateful I found him. I guarantee you will not find a better lawyer and whoever tells you that you don't need one is ignorant. I didn't get away with mine but I got the best possible outcome.

Decades with a spotless driving record ruined by one bad decision to get behind the wheel when I shouldn't have. Luckily, no one was hurt. Being driven away in handcuffs with my car being towed was enough to convince me that there is no way I would ever let this happen again. Lesson learned! And fortunately, I found Paul Burglin to help me weather the months of turmoil with the legal system and the DMV that ensued. Paul's encyclopedic knowledge (literally - he co-wrote the textbook!), and his familiarity with the local systems and people assured that I got the fairest possible sentence. Not only is Paul a consummate professional, he is also compassionate and understanding, and his kind words helped ease the trauma of a difficult process. On top of all that, he provided referrals to other knowledgable and caring professionals who provided outstanding advice on insurance and other aspects of this confusing and stressful process. I can't imagine having a better person beside me in this situation than Paul Burglin. Thank you Paul!

Paul was very helpful in guiding me through the most arduous and confusing DUI process, with both the court system & the DMV. His professionalism and kind precise way, granted me the chance to have this mindful burden made a bit lighter. Not only did he get my license restriction minimized, he also requested a smooth transition for me to retain my driver's license almost immediately and have my record expunged, after my 3 year probation period ended. My birthday was just last week and it could not come at a better time. it's a new year, new year of life, new lessons learned (leaving an important chapter behind..;) and I am expunged thanks to Paul. I feel so very grateful and would recommend Paul highly in alleviating the stress of muddling through this very difficult and complicated experience.

Paul possesses deep knowledge of his specialty area within the industry. He guided me through a complex process in which both legal and DMV issues needed resolution - and we were successful on all fronts! This was partly due to Paul's strong connections/contacts and relationships across all relevant agencies and especially, with the district attorney's office. I highly recommend Paul Burglin as an expert in his field, who gets results!

I was pulled over for not having a front license plate by the CHP and they smelled alcohol on me. I was arrested for a DUI based on the breathylizer results showing just at .08. This occured at a small town so cops there tend to look for stuff to pull you over such as no front license plate. A week later I hired Paul Burglin who showed the CHP didn't follow the protocol of processing me. A few months later in court I was able to get it down to reckless driving. This incident was the only time I had been in trouble with the law prior (or since). I would recommend him for anyone looking for a DUI attorney in the north bay area.

I hired Paul to help with my son's DUI after an accident. It was a very serious case involving a felony with injury. After reasonable adjustments, he managed to get it reduced to a misdemeanor and saved my son's career as a result. I can't say enough good things about Paul's professionalism. I highly recommend!
