My wife had a stroke and I was in dire need to speak with a legal consultant to get some direction on what type of steps to take next. Danica spent the time needed to help me understand the difference between recoverable vs. non-recoverable damages and details about the litigation process. This really helped put my mind at ease because I did not have a starting point. In the end, she provided a recommendation to consult with a law firm who specializes in my type of use case. I think she knew she was going to end up referring all along, but just the fact that she spent close to an hour with me really shows that she cared! I would definitely recommend her.

Marivel helped me through a difficult time after my grandmother passed away. I wanted to protect the assets that were gifted to me and create provisions of my Trust to give to certain charities, as well as have a power-of-attorney and medical directive. I knew what I wanted and she facilitated everything quickly and easily. When I contacted her a couple years later she was more than willing to answer additional questions about my Trust. Thank you for the peace of mind.

My family came to her when our mother's health took a turn for the worse . Marivel was patient especially with my father who did not understand the process and was overwhelmed by all the paperwork. Marivel took her time explaining what needed to be done and broke it down for us. Thank you for your patience and ensuring that our elderly father didn't feel overwhelmed by the whole situation.

When my mother got diagnosed with a terminal disease, my brother and I were so lost. Family and friends told us we needed to get my mother's affairs in order, yet we did not know the process let alone the first step. That is when Marivel came in. My boyfriend had recommended me to her and I called her right away. She made it so easy for us and she came to our home to set everything up. She explained everything we needed to make sure we were all taken care of. She put our minds at ease so my brother and I can focus on the most important thing - to spend as much time we had left with our mother. Thank you, Marivel for all you did for our family. Not only were you available every time we had questions, you were so professional and willing to help. Best of all, you showed us compassion. You treated us as if we were your own family and not just a client.

Words can't express the gratitude I have towards Brian and his team (especially Miki) at Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell. I actually interviewed four different attorneys before I found Brian. I hear horror stories from others regarding their relationship with their attorneys. During a divorce, you need access to the one person you trust that's assisting you in an already difficult chapter of our lives. If you unfortunately need a divorce attorney, you can feel confident knowing they will always have your back!

Highly recommend. This law firm has been amazing to work with and is a class act. Mr. Mitchell was outstanding explaining my rights as a father and working with the opposing counsel. My situation was a complicated one but Mr. Mitchell was able to write up a parenting plan so I could start seeing my 3 children again after being away from them for 4 years. This firm definitely goes the distance for its clients and the office staff is always there to assist with any questions and I had a lot of them!

I would like to say if you’re in need with understanding your rights as a parent, with any little detail that needs to be filled I highly suggest Brian Mitchell. Brian helped me and quickly responsive and fights for you. Brian made my divorce simple, helped me with gaining joint and physical custody with my daughter and knows exactly how to fight for you. He gathered all evidence and proof of my testimony and presented it professionally. I would also like to thank Miki for always taking my calls/ emails with any questions I had and always being respectful. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my case!

Christine was the attorney I wish I had from the beginning. She is everything you would expect from a great attorney: professional, respectful, responsive, informative, and direct. She also really cared, and invested herself in the case, which is not something I can say about previous attorneys I’ve had.
After getting nowhere for years, I finally got a huge win in parenting time thanks to Christine. She really helped navigate the messiness of the case and made sure I understood everything she presented. She helped keep me focused on the big picture despite the emotional roller coaster the whole process can be. I highly recommend her and will absolutely hire her again if necessary.

If I could give her 10 stars I would. She is the best lawyer you would ever hire. She knows how to get things done and get you the best settlement you can get. She helped me thru a two year divorce (because of ex) and kept me calm thru it all. If you want a great attorney hire Christine she will not steer you wrong.

Christine Thielo is not only an amazing attorney but an amazing person as well. I felt as though she genuinely cared for my situation and worked hard to get me the best possible outcome, which she did! She represented me in my DV and child custody case and I couldn’t have asked for better. I came to her with quite a bit of history and just one month prior to my next court date. She put the time and effort to review and become completely familiar with my entire case in order to adequately represent me, which she did a great job doing. She explains very thoroughly every option that is available to you and is very honest with each outcome. She is experienced, knowledgeable, professional, and tough! She stands her ground and is not intimidated by anyone or anything. She, or her assistant Linda who is also amazing, gets back to you almost immediately. She went above and beyond my expectations, I can’t describe how grateful and thankful I am for her hard work and dedication.

Attorney Georgina Lepe assisted us in completing our living trust. She was very knowledgeable and would patiently explain everything to us in layman's terms, so we had a complete understanding of what we were signing. She is both professional and warm and friendly. It's difficult to find an attorney with this combination. If you are looking for someone to assist you with legal services, we highly recommend Georgina Lepe. An added bonus is that she also speaks Spanish, so we can recommend her to our Spanish speaking friends.

Georgina Lepe is an incredible attorney. After interviewing 6 different living trust attorneys, I came upon Georgina and she was a godsend. My grandmother had terminal cancer and it was a very difficult time for my family, when I meet Georgina I knew she was the one. Georgina was very patient, explained everything very clearly, was able to answer all of our questions, and she made us all feel very comfort with the process. On top of it all she is able to speak Spanish which is my grandparents first language. My family and I were very happy with our experience with Georgina, she is hardworking, knowledgeable, caring, and a good person. I am planning to use Georgina again very soon, she is someone you can count on which nowadays is very rare to find.

When I seek information or advice regarding employment or civil litigation issues, there is one attorney that I know I can count on - Alan Leahy of The Leahy Law Firm. Over the years he has consistently met and exceeded my expectations, with thoughtful and helpful legal advice and recommendations. I also have wholeheartedly referred my friends to him and they have been equally impressed by his attention to detail, level of knowledge and professionalism. Great attorney! Great law firm!

As business owners, we are often faced with legal matters that can detract us from other business purposes. When such matters have arisen in my company, I have had the good fortune of being able to have my own legal team, Alan J, Leahy and his staff at the Leahy Law Firm, APC.
Alan's knowledgeable experience and cost-benefit analytical approach has consistently delivered effective results. Throughout the years, Alan has proven to be a formidable advocate and legal representative of our company. His knowledgable experience and immediate responsiveness, has enabled me and my company to stay focused on business. Being able to reply and trust counsel to advocate and advise my partners and I, whether the issues are corporate or in litigation, has been a valuable asset to my company.

For over a decade, Alan J. Leahy and his staff have been our general counsel. During that time, Alan and his staff have aptly navigated our company through complex litigation as well as corporate matters across abroad spectrum of jurisdictions, and even on different continents.
I have found the staff of the Leahy Law Firm to be effective and diligent in their work on our behalf. Alan has always been clear in explaining the different options, prospects, and approaches to resolving each matter in as cost-effective method as possible. We would certainly recommend the firm to others who need an intelligent and effective approach to their legal services.

I have worked with many attorneys in the past and have never worked with an attorney that is so capable. She is very timely, reponsive and kept me informed continuously. She is very strong in her arguements and quite the successful trial attorney. She was extremely thorough in her research on my case. She is by far the best attorney I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I am very hopeful that I am never on the opposing side of a case with Geralyn Skapik as the attorney!

Ms. Skapik was very professional in the handling of my case and always returned my phone calls when I had questions. I was fortunate to have been referred to her by a friend (who also was being represented by her), who told me that Ms. Skapik had many years of experience handling environmental cases and that I should talk to her first. I would definately refer her to anyone.

We reached out to Genoveva for her services of a will/trust for my Mother. She took time with my Mother and created a seamless process that now has my Mom feeling relief because her affairs are in order.
From start to finish, we felt Genoveva really cared about my Mother and her wishes.
I highly suggest Genoveva, you will not be disappointed.

Mrs. Forgo is a highly knowledgeable and qualified attorney in child support issues. As a staff attorney for the County of Los Angeles, Department of Child Support Services and a Supervising attorney for the County of San Bernardino, Child Support Service, she has direct work experience of internal policies and procedures, as well as professional interactions with the presiding judges.
She was able to meet with me promptly to review my child support case. She explained to me with expert detail the summons, the documentation requested of me and the other party, the court proceeding, the demeanor of the judges and the options provided by the County. She walked me through each step to ensure my level of understanding was through.
I would highly recommend Mrs. Forgo or anyone of her associates.

If anyone has ever gone through a bankruptcy case you know how lonely and frightening it can be. Jane Cervantes walked us through the process and dealt with the courts minimizing our fears. Jane's dealings with the court were aggressive and always kept our interests in mind. Jane takes a personal approach that you will not find in other attorney's, she cares for her clients and is a bulldog vs. the courts. Jane got us through our Chapter 13 case with zero hiccups and a fresh start. Happy it is behind us and I thank Jane for her professionalism and experience! I HIGHLY recommend Jane for anyone going through what we did.
