Do not use this service. These people have no education and are operating under a paralegal who no longer works there. They are literally playing lawyer with no education to back it up. Idk how it’s legal. I tried to file paperwork they was poorly prepared by the manager and the paperwork was rejected by the courts lol they will play with you and your money

Avoid James Alderson at All Costs! My experience with James Alderson as my attorney was an absolute nightmare. As a 24-year-old single mother needing legal help to navigate a custody situation, I trusted him, only to be completely taken advantage of. Not only did he lack any real communication, but he also belittled me and made incredibly hurtful and unprofessional remarks. He even went so far as to call me “ignorant” and tried to instill fear by saying I shouldn’t have custody of my daughter and that she should be taken away—all because I slapped my ex-husband in the face after he made horrible remarks about me and my daughter. The disrespect and lack of empathy were shocking. I initially hired James to help clarify custody details with my ex-husband, specifically regarding dates, holidays, and weekly schedules. But from the start, he twisted my trust. When I later informed his office that my ex-husband had filed a restraining order against me, I wasn’t seeking help for this—I only wanted him to be aware since he was my attorney. Despite this, James later claimed he “helped” the restraining order get dismissed (even though it had no grounds and wasn’t my reason for hiring him). When I reminded him that I’d only hired him for custody matters, he became dismissive, calling me “ignorant” and telling me he couldn’t represent me because of a misdemeanor on my record. He even suggested that I didn’t deserve custody of my daughter—an unbelievably hurtful and baseless statement. In short, James Alderson took advantage of my situation as a young mother, provided no real support, and was entirely unprofessional and judgmental. His lack of communication, combined with his condescending and manipulative tactics, made a difficult situation even harder. I would never recommend him to anyone. If you’re seeking a compassionate, competent attorney, steer clear of James Alderson. Don’t let him take advantage of you as he did to me.

Do Not Hire Robert Ponce! I had an awful experience with Robert Ponce as my attorney. As a 24-year-old single mother needing legal help, I trusted him, only to be completely mislead and taken advantage of. From the start, he misled me, claiming he was “reducing” a felony charge to a misdemeanor. Later, I found out it had only ever been a misdemeanor—there was no felony to “reduce.” Throughout the entire process, I never even got the chance to physically speak to Robert Ponce himself. Every conversation I had was with his front desk assistant. Looking back, that should’ve been a red flag, but I wanted to trust that he was handling my case properly and doing what was best for myself and my child. Instead, he dragged out my case over nearly a year, ultimately charging me over $3,500 for what I now realize was a complete lie. When he asked if I wanted to keep him on for further representation, I declined due to his high fees and my lack of confidence in his help. I informed him that I was low on funds, hoping he might understand. But instead, he immediately handed my case over to a public defender without even notifying me of an upcoming court date. This lack of communication resulted in me missing the appearance and having a warrant issued for my arrest. When I finally got back on track with the public defender, they were shocked he hadn’t told me about the court date, putting me in an unnecessary and stressful situation. Robert Ponce’s lack of honesty, communication, and compassion shows he’s only interested in adding another client to his roster to squeeze out a few thousand dollars. His business practices are extremely shady, and it’s a shame there are lawyers out there who operate like this. I would never recommend him to anyone, and I strongly advise anyone considering his services to look elsewhere. Don’t let him take advantage of you the way he did to me.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional service provided by EWANISZYK LAW FIRM, particularly attorney Diana L. Spidall, during my family law case. From the moment I stepped into their office, I felt a sense of relief and confidence that I was in capable hands. Diana's expertise in family law is truly remarkable. She demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and a keen understanding of the nuances in my case. What sets her apart is not just her legal acumen, but her genuine compassion and dedication to her clients. Throughout the entire process, Diana was always accessible, promptly responding to my concerns and patiently explaining complex legal matters in terms I could easily understand. Her strategic approach and attention to detail were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome for my family. The entire team at EWANISZYK LAW FIRM exudes professionalism and empathy. They created a supportive environment during what was undoubtedly a challenging time in my life. If you're seeking top-notch legal representation for a family law matter, look no further than EWANISZYK LAW FIRM and Diana L. Spidall. They not only met but exceeded my expectations, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family law attorney.

If you are in need of solid legal advice or representation, this is the place to look! They care about people truly and want to help. They are upfront with their intentions and tell you what you need not just what you want to hear. I’m in the middle of a messy custody case and Thomas Ponce has met with me several times. I feel confident in the direction my case is going and how to proceed because of his advice and help! They also offer free consultations which is huge when as I’ve called some places with terrible reviews charging $50 for a quick phone consult. Thank you Ewaniszyk Law firm!

Excellent

I was a recent client of Ewaniszyk Law Firm. 14350 Civic Drive Suite 270 Victorville, California 92392. Immediately upon entering the law office, I was greeted by a team of professional and courteous staff. Upon expressing my complicated legal issues and concerns, they gave me assurance of their knowledge. Without hesitation the staff began working as a team to resolve my issues. Their confidence and knowledge quickly relieved my stress and gave me the assurance that needed by knowing that I had come to the right attorney. The attorney Diana Spadell. approached my case with personal interest as if it were her own personal matter. I felt as if I were family. She listened to my concerns and vigorously fought for my legal rights. Her representation was awesome. The Ewaniszyk Law Firm in Victorville California is reliable with fair and reasonable pricing. They work with their clients and are understanding to their needs. I would recommend this law firm to all my family and friends. They are a great team. They are fair and knowledgeable. The Ewaniszyk Law Firm in Victorville will fight. all cases with confidence and determination. If you have a legal issue or concern don't hesitate to give them a call. You will be glad you did.

VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, VERY RUDE. Kept TALKING OVER ME. He even said “I know this is going to sound rude” Okay so don’t say it ? I wouldn’t support or use this firm if your reading this go for a lawyer that genuinely cares ! This guy is sooooo mean I’ve had a lawyer before and a successful case and dealing with someone who is rude and disrespectful is not what you want trust me.

Appointments where always on time. Diana was at every hearing and you can email staff with quick responses. When I was first seen in my consultation and was given a few different options and decided I would prefer to be represented.

Maricela Shahin was my case manager she was very helpful and professional. I received treatment and got an unexpected settlement. I was so thankful for her support and service through this unfortunate accident I was in. I highly recommend.

Horrible place. We were dealing with Thomas. He did not answer questions did not respond and even hung up on us. Rude person. There are so many places out there I would go to another place with people that have more patience. Are kinder and want to work. It's not like he was doing us any favors we were trying to pay for a service. Since you made a reply and want to bring "facts". I don't know of a place that charges for first in person consultation. And the returning one was to return a paper of expendetures. So assessing that we met up twice is useless. Second 10 emails must have been all mine since I had to reach out three of four times to even get a response from you. When I would ask what numbers would make sense in those bank statements to go based off you did not answer that at all. Would just reiiterate that the math would have to make sense. Not much help there again. You guys were quicker to reply to a review than a person looking for help and representation. Also like to add that in our in person consultation Thomas was very unprofessional with his language speaking like a teenager to my two senior parents.
