I hired Ms.cheng for Child custody through her law firm "Law Offices of Vanessa Candelaria". I am very dissatisfied with the service provided by this attorney because I found her to lack the required knowledge and skills to handle custody cases, every piece of advice she gave was proven to be wrong. She was not collaborative throughout the process when I sent her details about my case she overlooks them or pushes them back which made the communication with her very hard and unpleasant. She lacks commitment she Showed up late to the Hearing and unprepared, she was very late in sending an important document to the court although she had enough time to send it earlier. She was severely overcharging me (Double the initial retainer amount) with some unrelated tasks that she claims she did work on, that she did not ask me or involve me about, and when I challenged her to provide evidence she refused to do so. She lacks compassion and empathy she only wants to drag the case so that she can charge more money. I TERMINATED her services after seeing her work and I didn't feel confident about her handling my case and she failed to give any positive results, I am working with a new attorney that is handling my case much better. I DO NOT recommend this attorney based on my experience, please save yourself thousands of dollars and find a better attorney.

Alice is by far an amazing attorney!!! I could not have been happier with her service. Alice is very trust worthy and knowledgeable. I had hired her for my divorce with child custody. I was recommended to her firm because of their experience with domestic abuse. When I first spoke with Alice, before hiring her, she was very thorough in my options in moving forward. She did not try and “sell” me on herself but more instead kept it real with what the law allows and how we could make those options work for me. I ended up working with Alice over 2 years to get my case settled. It could have been settled sooner, however the other party did their best to drag it out. With all that I was up against with taking my case to trial, Alice was absolutely what I needed. She wasn’t trying to charge me for things just because she could. She was very straight forward and honest about every step along the way. She never tried to guide me in a direction I didn’t want to go or make me settle for something I didn’t want. She came to every court hearing professionally presentable, well prepared and knowledgeable of my case. Her knowledge of the law and simple common sense helped expose the facts which put the case in my favor time and time again. During our trials and meetings with the judge, Alice was always so well prepared that it made opposing counsel look like a joke. The manner in which Alice speaks to people is by far the most helpful for my case. During the trial, Alice showed her persistence to expose the truth of the matter and didn’t take no for an answer. She is a bulldog when it comes to fighting for what is right! I never walked out of a meeting wishing Alice had done more because she had already done it. She thought of everything and would take my thought and opinions to the tables. Alice was always up to speed with the latest law changes and current cases taking place. She knows when to reference them in order to show similar cases and their outcomes. Alice clearly does her homework on your case as well as the other attorney she is up against. Not once during my case, did I ever feel I wasn’t going to get what I wanted. Alice always kept things open and honest. She never gave me false hopes. She was always straight forward and honest! (Which is hard to say about lawyers) The staff at Law offices of Tracey Wapnick was tremendously helpful as well. Every time I needed something, they were very responsive and able to get me answers. When calling, they knew what the status of my case was and what was needed to be done. I didn’t have to explain any details outside of stating my name. I felt very comfortable with all of their staff and felt I was in great hands. Hopefully I never need to hire Alice again but if I did, she would be my first call. I would recommend Alice to anyone needing representation for a divorce, restraining order or child custody. My family and friends that saw me through this whole situation were just as impressed with Alice’s services as well.

I felt I had to respond after I read the poor review posted here which is so obviously written by an opposing party who had their plate cleaned by Alice. Alice represented me when she was with another firm in Martinez and she was responsive, kind and most of all, practical. I felt that at all times, Alice was telling me the truth and not sugar coating any elements of the very difficult custody battle that I was facing. Me and my children are now happy and safe thanks to the hard work of Alice.

i am thoroughly and completely DISSATISFIED with the services provided by ALICE CHENG in my divorce case. I found her to be lacking the proper skills and knowledge to handle any DIVORCE CASE. She was given evidence supporting my case however, she did not present this evidence to the court. She has no ideal how to SETTLE A CASE. Based on what I experienced I strongly urge anyone to NOT HIRE THIS ATTORNEY TO REPRESENT YOU.... I can definitely say in y case that she did not have the knowledge or even the basic skills as an attorney to represent me properly and I post this review in hope that no one else experiences this same amount of unprofessional service that I received.

Alice Cheng is very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable. She was very professional in helping me out with a contentious custody divorce. Alice deftly handled the opposing counsel who was simply inundating my case with superfluous, unsubstantiated, unenforceable, illogical motions and nonsensical responses. Alice helped me understand the family court and that opposing counsel was only interested in muddying the water and acting NOT in the best interest of my child, only in the interest of enacting my soon to be ex-husband's promised revenge. I can heartily and sincerely recommend Alice to any spouse interested in a straight talking, honest, and supportive counsel who is interested in you being successful and not the bottom line of enriching her purse

Alice helped me on a support issue and was very helpful. Thanks for your hard work
