Charina Rhone handled my divorce and was an excellent attorney. I switched to Ms. Rhone after working with another local firm, and let me tell you the difference was night and day. I felt like I was in good hands and she was always working in my best interest, not for billable hours. She responded timely and thoroughly, addressing all of my questions and concerns, making sure that I completely understood the process. Ms. Rhone was efficient and professional with the utmost integrity. Divorce can be a challenging and emotional experience and Charina creates a comfortable space with great empathy, a sense of humor and tremendous grace. She is very easy to work with and I always felt well advised. Ms. Rhone is very knowledgeable about case law and local court proceedings. It can be hard to trust an attorney, but I completely trusted Ms. Rhone. My divorce was contentious with a stubborn and uncooperative ex , but Charina deftly guided me through the division of assets, debts, property and spousal support with a firm and steady hand. I really appreciated her realistic approach with a cost/benefit analysis of various courses of action, explaining that taking certain actions would most likely take longer and cost more than the possible benefit. She did this while still entertaining and supporting my various ideas and keeping things on track. I was very pleased with the outcome and felt we came to a reasonable and fair agreement in the end. On scale of 1 to 10, I give Charina Rhone an 11. I would highly recommend her.

Charina went above and beyond in my representation. From our very first contact, I was comfortable knowing that I would have someone like her fighting in my corner during what was to be a very difficult divorce battle. She explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand, walked me through each step of the process and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. Charina is calm and empathetic, dedicated, knowledgeable and professional, and all with a practical yet creative approach to negotiations. Charina is an exceptional attorney and advocate. She is technically top-notch, but even more importantly, she genuinely cares about her clients. She is tough when needed and does so with grace. I trust her completely, have the utmost confidence in her abilities and would recommend her for any and all cases, simple to complex.

My review is based on the free consultation over the phone. I found Natalya to be able to listen carefully, grasp the situation quickly, explain things succinctly, and offer specific solutions. She was quite upfront about her rates and, since my situation did not call for her level of expertise, recommended against hiring her firm. Unfortunately, I have had a bit of experience with interviewing attorneys and, eventually, hiring one. Thus, I know what to look for and who to avoid. Should I need a tax attorney (and could afford one), Natalya would be on top of my list.

Mr Langford is incredibly detail oriented. His meticulous preparation of my I-751 waiver resulted in my case approval. I have no doubt that Mr Langford's experience with how the immigration process works allowed me to avoid many potential pitfalls. I was very lucky to have him prepare my case.

I would strongly endorse Patrick R. Campbell for being a legal advisor, counselor or attorney for business related legal issues. In my case, a business legal issue involving litigation that involved myself and another family member, I needed an attorney who was in the business of performance not taking retainers and billing..
I went through 6 attorneys for a specific legal matter including Patrick who out performed all of them. Do yourself a favor and call Patrick - he is not stand-offish, and has no hubris; holier than thou attitude that one may or may not come across with varied attorneys.
I would also add that Mr. Campbell provides quality legal services, which I have found is rare in the Bay Area. By quality I mean he takes quality time in seeing legal matters through. He returns phone calls. He returns emails - - promptly. Not days or weeks. Patrick also spoke to me with respect and a great degree of graciousness. Rare characteristic to find in an attorney. Thank you, Mr. Campbell for all your help.

Nick Webb is a kind, sincere and genuine divorced attorney. He is highly skilled in his craft. Calm and collective composure made me have the trust I was looking for in picking counsel. He is responsive in every aspect of communication and turns on the aggression when necessary.
Dealing with a non-negotiable ex-wife, I had the chance to get imperative feedback on settlement pertaining to finances, child support and termination of material status. Nick gives you transparent and consistent communication, which is imperative in trying to close a chapter of your life during divorce proceedings. I owe Nick just not an endorsement on AVVO, but I recommend Nick as a point of contact as counsel in any divorce proceedings. He is my go to guy for any other legal proceedings in the near future.
Thank you, Nick for all of your hard work and commitment.

Recently, I found myself headed to the Court of Appeals. I had been epically wronged by one of the “Too Big to Fail” banks and was fighting to keep my house.
I was profoundly fortunate to find John Schreiber to represent me in the appeals process. To the court he communicated with a clear knowledge of the facts, persuasiveness, and integrity. To me he communicated with clarity, concern for my welfare, and always in a timely manner. To the bank attorneys, he was relentless.
He nailed it! This nightmare was ended because of John’s brilliant, effective, and professional representation.

I highly recommend Mr. Schreiber, who successfully handled my appeal and defended against my ex-husband's appeal. My divorce involved unusual and complicated real estate and pre-nup issues. Mr. Schreiber's analysis of the issues was accurate and far superior to any other attorney that I spoke to about my case. He has a superior knowledge of the law and an ability to think outside of the box, he is very personable and he took the time to explain things to me.

Although the circumstances surrounding hiring a lawyer is never easy, Attorney Ned Ng and his paralegal Dianne were absolutely amazing to work with. My father married overseas in the only country that prohibits divorce (Philippines). I planned on helping my Dad file divorce paperwork but after doing some research, realized my dad would need professional legal services.
I spoke to two law firms and felt even more stressed out because no one had much experience with international divorce. I emailed the Law offices of Durham and Ng and received a phone call within 24 hours.
Our initial consult was with Attorney Ned Ng. Ned has experience with international divorce, was well thought out when answering all of our questions and the retaining fee and fee structure is appropriate and fair.
After leaving Ned’s office, my dad asked for my personal opinion. Knowing that my Dad takes my advice quite seriously, I know I had to think about this thoroughly or this decision could put my dad at risk. However, I felt the utmost confidence that Ned would handle the divorce appropriately.
After retaining Durham and Ng, everything moved quickly (paperwork, meeting and helpful conversations). Ned is a true professional and my father could not ask for a better lawyer. He is aggressive, by the book and extremely knowledgeable. He would even call between court cases just to answer questions and would see us as soon as his court schedule allowed. He’s a great lawyer and made this process surprisingly pleasant.
We also had the pleasure of working with Ned’s paralegal, Dianne. Dianne is tough, tenacious and an awesome paralegal. There were occasions, I would email and her replies were almost instantaneous or in my inbox by the time I checked. She is truly an asset to this law firm!
Fast forward six months, my dad is officially divorced and was awarded favorably in everything he requested. I truly appreciate everything they have done for my father. I would recommend The Law Offices of Durham and Ng, without hesitation. Thank you is not enough for the individual care and consideration throughout the whole process. Ned and Dianne, you guys are truly amazing and we are forever thankful!

My metaphor for law professionals has always been comparison to the guides that work taking people through the labyrinths and mazes in Morocco or Egypt. Blindly following someone in and hoping you make it out the other side. This was not my experience with Jason Buckingham. I was in a very vulnerable situation attempting to get a deed released from my home. In the middle of the process, my loan was sold to another company which essentially put me back at the starting line. I spent a year of phone calls and being given misinformation attempting to settle the matter myself. Jason was always available to consult with me, never shutting me down, never any attitude, and he was accessible. With his encouragement, Jason took over the matter, and within two weeks it was settled and finalized. I got my life back. As a nurse, one of our most important roles is education, support, and encouragement of patients to help them meet their goals. Jason provided all of these. He also showed strength and leadership to my concern about my adversary. My life was on hold for the past year. Without resolution to my problem, my life would have continued to be on hold surrounded with a lot of fear. I am very thankful to have such a great attorney here in Benicia. Professional, supportive, client driven for results, accessible, knowledgeable, and very straightforward. Integrity and a role model for his profession. It doesn't get any better than that.

I want to express how patient, caring and professional Jason and his wife Samantha were in helping me and my family get through a bankruptcy I filed just over two years ago. I am a law enforcement officer and was very embarrassed to have to file bankruptcy. But like most other Americans during these last five years, I fell victim of a predatory loan and trying to live out the American dream but int the excitement we over extended ourselves. when I talked to Jason, he was very understanding and compassionate about my dilemma. Jason and Samantha were not judgmental. They were very welcoming and user friendly. Their fees were very reasonable and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing legal, financial advice. Thanks again Jason and Samantha for all your help. Respectfully, A.L

Mr. Buckingham helped my wife and I out when we were facing dire straits financially. Just from the consultation, he made our situation sound manageable and put our fears and anxieties to rest. He explained the laws of bankruptcy to us in language we can understand and he was very thorough as he examined our finances to determine the best course of action. The best part was, there was no pressure and he went over all our feasible options.
Mr. Buckingham and his assistant/paralegal Samantha were absolutely professional, empathetic and most of all efficient in helping us with our bankruptcy. It has been a few years since our case and we are now financially back on our feet. If it weren't for him and his team, our financial future would not be looking so bright.

Brent Seymour is not only an excellent lawyer, he is also a good listener who put me at ease during the long months of my children's abduction.
My children's father abducted our children to California during a school break. I was completely lost, and absolutely powerless reagrding this international situation. I was fortunate enough to find Mr. Seymour, who specializes in family law but also in international law. Brent Seymour was able to find the right procedure for my particular situation so that I could get my children back. After 8 months of proceedings, an American judge ordered the return of my children.
Brent Seymour is a rigorous, detail-oriented lawyer, who enabled me to get my children back.

Try to imagine the situation where you suddenly find out that your children who you thought were on a vacation like so many others, have been held on the other side of the world against your will by the person you thought you could trust. In that moment you know you have to do something, quickly, but what? In your head just confusion, bewilderment, chaos. In that moment you realize that you need help, lots of help.
And it was at such a delicate moment that I was lucky enough to find Mr. Seymour. Brent not only proved to be an exceptional professional but also the person who led me by the hand in such a complicated moment of my life. He knew how to untangle all the complications of the issue at hand, not only those strictly related to the legal problem itself but also language problems, laws of different countries, further complications introduced by the pandemic that prevented from moving anywhere. In spite of all the difficulties, Brent was able to operate with extreme mastery of his profession, never forgetting that on the other side of the screen, on the other side of the world, there was a person fighting to have his rights recognized and to be reunited with his children, living in a state of mind easy to imagine. Always professional, always close, always available, Brent knew how to give me back my confidence and take me hand in hand, safely, towards the solution of the problem, promptly and brilliantly circumventing every obstacle. If I look back in time I think I could hardly have found another professional as prepared and skilled as Mr. Seymour, whom I thank once again.

I called to possibly hire her, and was thrown off by her rude and dismissive responses. She didn’t want to take the case im assuming. And instead of just saying so she judged me, and has been harassing me in my messages. Leaving extremely nasty remarks about a case she has no knowledgeable of. I highly suggest you look else were for help. She has a disgusting way of handling things she doesn’t want to deal with and is very rude. Im so appalled she attacked me in my messages .
