We hired Manuel Perez Leiva along with Mr Martin McCarthy for a fairly simple law suit in July of 2018 for fraud committed by my father to my mother right after they got divorced. A fraud of hiding a sale of marital goods. Countless malpractice steps (purposely or due to a lack of legal knowledge and preparation either way disastrous outcome) were taken by Manuel until we had to fire him in 2019 and stay with the rest of attorneys which turned out to be also a big fiasco. We are seriously studying the case for malpractice against this corrupted and poor excuse for attorneys. We are presently paying thousands of dollars in liability for this guy's legal rep. Awful and totally untrusted behavior but specially Mr Manuel Perez Leiva should not be allowed to exercise any legal function, he is not suited at all. We believe there are several cases of unsutisfied clients but somehow just like all sleazy lawyers, he finds the way to erase any proof of his unacceptable behavior. We don't think he is suited for legal practice in any way. Anyone who exposes to his legal rep will undoubtedly suffer his unhonorable doings and poor legal execution to say the least. Do not hire this guy. ______ Spanish Contratamos a Manuel Pérez Leiva junto con el Sr. Martin McCarthy para una demanda bastante simple en julio de 2018 por fraude cometido por mi padre a mi madre justo después de que se divorciaron. Un fraude de encubrimiento de una venta de bienes matrimoniales. Manuel tomó innumerables medidas de mala praxis (a propósito o por falta de preparación legal con resultados desastrosos) hasta que tuvimos que despedirlo en 2019 y quedarsnos con el resto de los abogados contratados, lo que resultó ser también un gran fiasco. Estamos estudiando seriamente el caso por mala praxis contra esta corrupta y pobre excusa de abogados. Actualmente estamos pagando miles de dólares en responsabilidad por la pobre representacion legal de este tipo. Comportamiento horrible y totalmente desconfiado, pero especialmente el Sr. Manuel Pérez Leiva no debería poder ejercer ninguna función legal, no es apto para nada. Creemos que hay varios casos de clientes insatisfechos, pero de alguna manera, como todos los abogados sórdidos, encuentra la manera de borrar cualquier prueba de su comportamiento inaceptable. No creemos que sea adecuado para la práctica legal de ninguna manera. Cualquiera que exponga a su representante legal, sin duda, sufrirá sus actos deshonrosos y su mala ejecución legal, por decir lo menos. No contraten a este tipo.

Hiring Julie Park as my attorney was one of the best decisions I made during one of the toughest times of my life. Julie's straightforward, no-nonsense approach kept me focused during a very complicated divorce, from parenting issues to complex financial issues as well. Julie is prompt at returning emails, calls, and was very thorough and efficient in every aspect of my case. She has a very sharp mind when it comes to finances, helping me wrap my head around things I was almost too overwhelmed to confront during such a difficult time. We ended up settling my case with an outcome I was very satisfied with. I'm grateful and couldn't recommend her enough!

I hired Roger Lenox’s a couple of times many, many moons ago. After consulting with several of Dallas Top Attorney’s None could compare. He was my choice and for several reasons; Maybe it was the natural humbling spirit I got upon sitting in his office, or the pure honest knowledge/advice he gives. Roger worked diligently to assist me rather it was financially or spiritually. I was never surprised about the outcome of my case. Yes, he was my attorney but more like my friend. I’ve recommended him to several people and we all have the same story about his quality of work. It’s been numerous years and I still call him with any concerns and He’s still the same caring guy he was 20 years ago. #BESTATTORNEYIKNOW

My professional experience with Terrence Wheeler over the last four years has been exceptionally positive. Throughout this period, Mr. Wheeler consistently demonstrated a commendable level of responsiveness, organization, and a high degree of professionalism. His expertise in navigating complex dispute with former business partners, has been invaluable. In the face of numerous delays caused by external parties, resulting in extended intervals between preparation phases, I was consistently impressed by Mr. Wheeler's ability to retain and recall information from past conversations, even spanning back several years. He exhibited a keen understanding of the intricate details of our business and took the time to familiarize himself with the specific nuances of my situation. When it came to presenting my defense, Mr. Wheeler conveyed these complexities accurately and effectively. I wholeheartedly recommend Terrence Wheeler based on his exceptional skills, dedication, and the positive outcomes he has facilitated in managing my legal matters.

Service was terrible. I used the attorney because my employer had a "significant savings" built in. My assigned attorney missed all the deadlines and put it all back on m.... minutes before the court hearing. Nothing got filed, I had to start paying child support because nothing was contested by my lawyer, and of everything you would hire a lawyer for, nothing was done. Even took a couple emails to to confirm to have him resign off my case as my representative so I could start trying to redo everything that should have been done already

Unacceptable experience. See my feedback below to the firm after having an awful experience on what was a very simple request. "The manner in which your firm has been communicating with me is bizarre and almost robotic...On top of that, there was no material explanation as to why such fees would be necessary. For your reference, I reached out to two of your competitors, all of which promptly responded to me via email with a normal conversation and discussion that involved a human back and forth with questions, and elaboration on my request. It was refreshing. Secondly, the potential fees of up to 4 hours for $550/hour for a reaffirmation were referred to as "ridiculous" not only by your competitors, but from other out-of-state counsel that I have worked with in the past. On top of that, some of which offered alternatives that require no fees whatsoever. In conclusion, the manner in which you conduct business and communicate is not only seemingly fee-driven instead of sincerely helping the needs of a potential client, but also not a fit for me."

So, I have a very challenging case. It spans two states and two different courts in Riverside County. Did I mention a very challenging Ex? Long story short, Valarie (probate area of practice) and Carolyn (family law) are amazing. They have fought tooth and nail for me. Let me be clear….this is not a “discount” law firm. The old adage, you get what you pay for. I needed competent hard working lawyers. Lawyers who knew the ins and out of each issue. That is what I got. Their guidance was/is worth every penny. These two women are amazing and I am so thankful for finding them. I can’t speak for anything outside of family law or probate, but I can tell you if you have an issue in these two areas, use them.

They say divorce is ugly, daunting and overwhelming, all true! That is why having the right attorney is key. My choice to have Amy Sauter of Pescatore and Sauter represent me is what helped get me through my extremely difficult and contentious divorce. Amy Sauter is experienced, well respected, patient, empathetic towards her client's concerns and compassionate. She is measured in her approach, yet aggressive when the situation calls for it. If you are contemplating divorce and want to speak with an attorney who will walk with you through the entire process, you owe it yourself and your future to set up a consultation with Amy Sauter. Amy will personally handle your divorce with the same devotion and dedication from start to finish. She will do what it takes to get you through the process. Whether it be an email or phone call or a last minute meeting, Amy will never leave you feeling abandoned. You and your case are her priority and she and her team will reassure you and put you at ease during the many stressful and difficult times. Amy is very conscious not to have you spend your money needlessly. Her goal is to resolve matters as quickly and efficiently as possible with the least economic impact. Sometimes, this is not always possible but it is her first choice. Her patience and attention to detail is so valuable, especially when having to explain the divorce process and all the legal issues. This is so needed to help you stay educated, focused and ultimately divorced with the best possible outcome. Divorce is absolutely awful! There is nothing easy or nice about the process. I could not imagine going through it without Amy by my side.

I highly recommend her to anyone who is facing a involvement in a family law matter.

I had three different attorney's during my divorce and she was the worse by far. During a hearing she was actually asking me what questions she should ask the witness. Was totally unprepared. To add insult to injury tried to double charge for her time. Due to her I missed 3 months with my children despite a court order saying I should have them every other week. Was prepared to offer less time with my children than a court order that was already in place. Once I changed attorneys their first course of action was to fix the mess created by Amy by reinstating an order that was already in place. In my opinion I would stay away from her at all cost.

She explained the process to me very thoroughly and I truly feel like she had my best interests at heart. If it weren't for the the opposing counsel's side, the process would have wrapped up within a few weeks due to the quick speed at which Joanne is able to work. I would definitely work with Joanne again on any legal matter related to marriage/divorce, although I certainly hope I won't have to :)

No one ever thinks about divorce at the beginning of a marriage. But people change, situations change and sometimes divorce is your only option. That's how it was for me. And not knowing anyone who had got divorced or what to expect, I did not know where to turn or what was considered a normal proceedings. For those in my position, I would recommended Elizabeth of Elizabeth Westover Born PC. Elizabeth can break down the process, and let you know your rights and what to expect. She can guide you through an unexpected and an unsettling time, and help make it into a much more digestible process. I truly value her expertise. I highly recommend Elizabeth to anyone who may be thinking about divorce to get an honest opinion and know his/her rights.

Words simply aren’t enough to express my gratitude for my team, Elizabeth Westover and Kerry, of Westover Born, P.C., during my family matters and child support cases. Having used small town lawyers for my divorce proceedings ten years ago, and seeing the way they both pitted me and my ex against each other for the sake of lining their own pockets, I refused to use that same lawyer for issues concerning my child today. Elizabeth and Kerry are not only sophisticated and intelligent lawyers, but they are empathetic and supportive; this is a rare combination in the legal field. Elizabeth and Kerry demonstrated the highest level of professional and personal commitment to me and my daughter throughout our cases. I was never a number, my daughter was never an afterthought, and we were treated with the utmost respect. As any client, finances are always a concern when a legal battle commences. Elizabeth and Kerry communicated with me, frequently and openly, about anticipated costs every step of the way. They listened to my wishes and concerns; they guided me firmly and compassionately; they aggressively fought for me and my daughter, all while remaining cognizant of my finances. Elizabeth and Kerry never took advantage of me or my emotions. They guided me into making my own decisions, supported me, and never pressured me to pursue frivolous claims as my divorce lawyer had done. In fact, throughout the legal issues, opposing counsel made several errors resulting in unnecessary and extra work for my team resulting in added fees. My team was able to recover a large portion of these fees for me, effectively demonstrating that they should not have fallen on me or my team to begin with. Elizabeth and Kerry’s interactions with me, as a team, were beyond effective and resulted in a positive ruling for me and my daughter. Elizabeth and Kerry genuinely placed our best interest ahead of their own bottom line. I highly recommend Elizabeth and Kerry to anyone in need of assistance with family matters. In fact, they’re the ONLY team I recommend. Their expertise, passion and dedication to family is unparalleled. My family is ever grateful not just for the positive outcome of my case, but for the humanity and care they offered to me and my daughter.

I retained Maxine Ho as my attorney for a period of time between 2019 and 2020. Due to early mistakes on my part, my divorce case had turned complex and was challenging for just about any attorney to turn around. I was fortunate to have Maxine consider representing me given the circumstance. Maxine is a great attorney who is efficient, polite, honest and responds in a timely manner. She has the ability to apply aggression if and when necessary, and she also stands her ground if and when in disagreement with her client, with good intention and in good faith - in saying so, I can highly recommend her. I have not come across decent attorneys even after an extensive search over a period of 4 years; however, I can say that Maxine is one of the few good ones. Unfortunately, I was forced to part ways with Maxine - nothing to do with her service but due to my financial limitations alone. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for her legal advice, time, and efforts representing me. If you are looking for an attorney and haven't made detrimental mistakes thus far, you should consider Maxine. And, even if your case is complex, consider a consultation - she will at the very least guide you correctly to ensure the best possible outcome.

People rely on lawyers and attorneys, usually, at points in their life that they'd rather not talk about. But, that's how it goes. Mr. Fuste was that attoney that for me at the point I needed him he went through every single step of the way with me when I had lost hope and thought I had lost my career in law enforcement. Mr. Fuste gave me the motivation and showed me that there was a light at the end of every dark tunnel. Mr. Fuste even checked on my well being do to the stress and traumatic experience I was passing. They had released me of my duties and told me I was no longer going to be receiving any payment. Mr. Fuste worked extremely diligently on my case and for the five months I had been released sitting at home he was able to still get me my payments. Mr. Fuste finalized and won the case after just 5 months. I returned back to work thanks to him I am where I am today and continue doing what I love most.

I cannot imagine having been cared for better by any legal team. I chose Soheila in 2021 for her smarts, her near-30 years of experience as an attorney, and the depth and strength I observed in one who had weathered hardship through her many accomplishments. But it was her compassion that confirmed I'd made the best decision for myself and my child. She was skillful in her arguments and strategy before the judge. I felt so well taken care of. What other attorney would have Zoomed with me even in sickness to help prepare me for a court-appointed meeting? And I came to see how keen she'd been in her advice. I was deeply touched watching Soheila and her paralegal Lynda Walker fight for my son as if he were their own. They treated me with great humanity - day and night from what I experienced at my former attorney's. Lynda is a gem, on her toes, flexible, hard-working, committed to the client, humble, and sweet. She slaved over my case, doing much of the writing, watchful of me on paper and in person, guiding me gently while encouraging me to use my voice. In the end, Soheila and Lynda proved their colors in the thoughtful support they showed when The Other Side and I wanted to move to third-party mediation while my ex-to-be found himself distastefully pressured by his attorney to avoid mediation and keep litigating, a course that clearly by that point was not in our son's best interest. The staff, including the office administrator Lorenzo and Linda C, is caring, respectful, and conscientious. A band of angels.

Divorce is not fun for anyone. It's particularly hard when people get unpleasant and can't cooperate with each other. This is why I love Terri's approach. She's very focused on an approach where conflict and nastiness are avoided in favor of collaboration and cooperation. I have felt like my needs were met as I have worked through this process - Terri has made herself available to me as I needed support or had questions. I've always walked away from our interactions with a clear understanding of what I needed to do to make sure I was taken care of while still maintaining that sense of collaboration. I'm grateful that I was referred to Terri and will continue to refer others to her.

Terri was recommend to me by a friend and she was very supported through the process of reviewing the premarital documents for my upcoming marriage. It was also in a short timeframe that we had to complete the documents. I am a retired women and she was able to explain the details and made me feel like I did come to the table with a stake in the relationship. Her staff is very friendly and helpful when you email or call into the office. I would recommend her for supportive and kind and very up front attorney.

We were hit with a situation that we had no idea how to handle. Justin was recommended to us and he was phenomenal. He called us back quickly, was a great listener and gave us very thoughtful responses. Justin proceeded to do a lot of research, and concluded that another attorney, with experience in our case, was better suited to help us. He was right – the attorney he found for us was exactly who we needed. Justin was professional, compassionate, thorough and beyond helpful. We are so impressed with Justin and highly recommend him.

If I could offer 10 stars, I would. Trustworthy, responsive, ethical, considerate, fair, real, honest, reassuring, committed, gritty, and a perfectionist to the very degree you need him to be is how to describe Eric Bernheim at FLB. But most of all.. overwhelming dedicated and intelligent. We were able to win a highly complicated, intense, and non-favoring case (involving residential property rights x easement x utility company x conservation) because of his unwavering focus and exquisite strategy. Eric came highly recommended to me from the Brody Wilkerson group and I’m grateful for their referral as I know we could not have won the case if anyone else but Eric represented my family and I. I’m grateful to every last end for his help and recommendations along the way which ended in a win. Google Eric Bernheim and you will find him to be one of the best. Here’s a quote of his I found online of his that I can verify first-hand to be true as one his clients…. “My primary motivation is to ease the burdens of my clients and help them to be successful in whatever they are pursuing. It’s my job to minimize their risk so they can maximize their potential. By providing sound legal counsel in an atmosphere that promotes collaboration, I put them at ease so they can address the other priorities in their businesses and lives. My goal is to always try to provide them peace of mind when it comes to their legal challenges.” Highly recommend.

Attorney Gottfried is very dedicated and always provides her clients representation to the fullest extent. She is very professional as her staff is as well. She is definitely someone you would want fighting for you, definitely someone you would want in your corner. My children were in an abusive environment and living with their father. I have been fighting in the courts for three years to get them back. I have had numerous Attorneys. Not one of them represented my position the way Attorney Gottfried did. Not one of them fought for the Justice that my children deserved the way Attorney Gottfried did. After Three years of fighting Attorney Gottfried got my children returned to me with having sole legal and physical custody. My children and I can finally have closure. I will be forever grateful for all the time, all the effort, and all the dedication that Attorney Gottfried gave to myself and my children.

Alona is phenomenal. She represented my husband, Damian, recently in a family Court case for my step children and I'm so thankful for the amazing work Alona did. She listened to the concerns and issues Damian presented, she did a wonderful job and assisted him with being awarded with more than he wanted. With Alona my husband finally got the justice he deserved. I can tell that Alona has a passion for justice and righteousness. I agree that mediation is always best but in this case it wasn't an option. I'm happy that my step children will be in a loving, peaceful home to enjoy their childhood. Thank you so much Alona, you're great and you have made this long journey come to a happy ending. Alona is the way to go if you need help. She is highly recommended by my family and two other colleagues I work with that have used her services, Katie and Veronica.

I was inadvertently given Alona, after coming to the agency for another attorney to help with a divorce in 2008. I was not happy about the change and was told she was competent. During the 4 months of litigation and more than $60k on legal fees, my husband at the time managed to throw all kinds of things her way for which she was unable to handle. He sold an airplanes, paid off big business accounts, and hid money for which he had no recompense. She was clearly in over her head. I was writing emails to tell her what to do. I was so overwhelmed without the advocacy that I actually went back to my husband and spend 3 years making a different plan. I then had leverage to get out without being cheated. I was so disappointed with Alona's ability to handle my husband and his lawyer. I would not recommend her for a divorce situation where the husband has tried to hide everything and throws nothing but paperwork at her to cause more and more expense without ever getting anywhere.

Ms. Rowe helped me when I was involved in a frivolous lawsuit. I appreciated how she took the time to listen very carefully to not only the facts but my input as well. I found Carmen to be knowledgeable, compassionate, clear, and precise. While I was a novice in this dispute, Ms. Rowe was clearly not. Her advice was right on target and her response time was reasonable. I would definitely recommend her to a friend or colleague.

Ms Rowe helped me with a very tricky legal/ ethical situation wherein a non-profit group manipulated their by-laws in order to slander and sanction me and my professional reputation. Ms Rowe was so helpful in explaining and navigating the by-laws and standing rules of the organization... presenting them clearly to the non-profit Board and their attorney. To that end, the group reversed their charges against me once it was clearly pointed out the charges were fabricated with no merit and were obviously personally/ politically motivated. I appreciate all Ms Rowe's attention to detail and quick responses to my case.

Carmen came highly recommended by a lawyer who does similiar practice, but recognized her as an industry expert with regards to dealing with Owner/HOA disputes. I was impressed with how quickly she got up to speed on the situation and the ability to sort through the electronic paper trail so quickly and thouroughly. Her persistance and boldness helped to get my situation resolved with the association in a timely matter. I would highly recommend Carmen, as she is truly a subject matter expert in her field and a pleasure to work with. She values your opinion just as much as you will value hers, and keeps you in the loop each step of the way. Couldn't ask for more!

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.

    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:

  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:
    Be ready to discuss your budget and any financial limitations.

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
