I cannot thank this firm enough. Ashley guided me to success as the prevailing party in what was unfortunately an extremely high conflict child custody case, and she did so with compassion, integrity, and patience. This was one of the most stressful experiences of my life, but much of that stress was alleviated due to the calm, professional, and efficient manner in which Ashley handled everything. This yearlong process was a financial strain on us, and they were so incredibly gracious and understanding of our situation, and handled our case in a manner that was cost effective, without sacrificing quality in the services they provided. I have heard horror stories of other attorneys endlessly dragging on litigation for financial gain but my experience with this firm was quite the opposite: it’s clear that they truly care about their clients. June, Julie, and Priscilla also provided invaluable aid during this ordeal. Although I wish there had never been a need for this experience, I am grateful to now have sole custody of my child, and thanks to these wonderful, kind, and intelligent ladies, I finally have peace of mind knowing that I am able to keep my child safe. Thank you Orange Coast Family Law, and especially Ashley!

Unfortunately, this was my first experience with a lawyer and it was terrible. Ashley, the main lawyer will be for you in the beginning and then you'll be passed off to her other two colleagues. They will give you other clients information, send you documents with zero explanation and basically be sort of there as long as the money flows their direction. If you have any matter that you absolutely need dire help or assistance with I would not choose this firm to bet on. They will not have your back and will leave you to the wolves. Too expensive for zero care or effort on their side. I'd give them a zero if I could.

Chance led me through a very prickly process which involed a withdrawl of plea, modification of charges and re-sentencing, ultimately ending someplace nobody thought was possible. He's been a genuine lifesaver in one of the most difficult experiences of my life.

I met him for the first time in 2017 and was impressed, so I utilized him in a crucial legal situation in July. He came through, like I knew he would, and made sure I had the result I had been looking for. If you are in trouble or need the right advice to proceed, Chance is the person to contact,because he knows how to get the job done!

I had the pleasure of working with Ed Wallace as my estate planning and business attorney in Dana Point, and I couldn't be more delighted with the exceptional service he provided. From the moment I first contacted Ed's office to the finalization of my legal matters, he demonstrated an unmatched level of professionalism and expertise. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding service I received from Ed Wallace, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of an estate planning or business attorney in Orange County.

I highly recommend Attorney Edward Wallace. He handled my Father’s Trust and the disbursement of assets. He counseled me as the Trustee, so I would not have any disputes with a beneficiary that had been difficult in the past. He is very experienced, patient and has a wonderful personality, so a pleasure to deal with during a stressful time. My husband and I plan on using him again shortly to prepare our Trust.

Dawn Stark and her assistant, Ellen Burin, are the best team you could ever have if you need a great litigator. They went out of their way to help me with a complicated and difficult probate litigation compounded by familial insanity that they were able to traverse with ease and grace. It was amazing to work with them, and I would highly recommend Dawn Stark over any other attorney in Southern California. She took my case after I had problems with another attorney who didn't know what they were doing. She is an excellent attorney and outstanding person.

I had the pleasure of working with Dawn Stark over the past year and I feel compelled to speak about my experience with Dawn and her staff. Dawn is the consummate professional and she has the most positive reputation that precedes her in the area in which she works. This holds true for Dawn also in her influential network of people, many of whom I know. I also know quite a few of Dawn's clients and they all say the same about her and those that support her in her chosen area of expertise. I HIGHLY recommend Dawn to anyone who needs estate planning since her broad knowledge base, professionalism, and charming personality make her one of the best attorneys in the business.

I rated him excellent because there's nothing higher but if there's anything higher he would get it . Mr. O'Kula is the greatest lawyer I have ever came in contact with. To handle the case for me against greyhound and handle it in a timely manner. He is the lawyers of lawyers and I have referred him too many other people and he's not the one cases for them as well he is a wonderful experienced lawyer that's why I have referred him to several people. I just can't get over how amazing he is and have fast he gets results and he don't take no crap from the other party. I also have another case that I am hiring him for I just can't get over how great of a lawyer he really is so if anybody needs any case handled that's it then his jurisdiction guaranteed he will win your case as well. He is great at what he does and gets the job done right the first time. Handle the case for my daughter when she got hit by a car and won her case very quickly. I referred him to my friend April because she was in a car accident with her her boyfriend and her two children and he got them all settlements in a timely manner. The minute he says he's taking your case he starts working on it right away so if you need a good lawyer he's the one.

I have used Don for multiple issues over the last 20 years and he has always been excellent in follow through and explain the process in a way that I can understand. If you need an aggressive Attorney, Don O'Kula gets the job done. He has represented me in three Auto Accidents where I was not at fault and dealt with the Insurance Companies so I did not have to.

5 stars for sure! Jeff was super communicative from day 1 and all throughout my case. His response times were extremely quick and information on his input was very accurate. We got really good results in court from what could have been much worse compared to others that I knew about, with the same type of DUI case. Along with being a great attorney with my case, he also gave great advice during a tough time. I really couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended for DUI and family attorney! He knows what he’s talking about and has your back. I felt it from the moment I first called about my case.

I met Harry through a business I have. In the process I met his family and worked with his wife. In the work I do I get to know people personally.
From my experience in meeting Harry he cares deeply for his family and his passion extends into his work in the legal field.
I was trying to resolve a case and asked for his advice. He not only provided advice but also encouragement to get on it right away which I did.
In our interactions I found that while he specializes in certain fields he is constantly looking to learn more to get cases through the system faster. As we all know the legal system is complex, messy and long winded!
He is passionate and energetic in his work and most importantly has a lot of integrity when it comes to helping people right the wrongs. I highly recommend his services!

Valerian helped my husband and I through a very difficult time, bankruptcy. This was our first time enduring this process so we did not know what to do or what to expect. Valerian held our hands through the whole process!! He would sit down with us and read through documents and make sure we understood them before we signed. We are also going through a loan mod and and have been waiting a year to hear the status of our loan. Valerian took action on them and got them to move a little faster than we could. We didn't hire him for that, he just took care of it for us. We completely trust valerian and will definitly hire him again for our future attorney needs.

If you get hurt in an accident, don't hesitate to use Bruce. And they have a beautiful office with really nice staff.

I cannot thank this firm enough. Ashley guided me to success as the prevailing party in what was unfortunately an extremely high conflict child custody case, and she did so with compassion, integrity, and patience. This was one of the most stressful experiences of my life, but much of that stress was alleviated due to the calm, professional, and efficient manner in which Ashley handled everything. This yearlong process was a financial strain on us, and they were so incredibly gracious and understanding of our situation, and handled our case in a manner that was cost effective, without sacrificing quality in the services they provided. I have heard horror stories of other attorneys endlessly dragging on litigation for financial gain but my experience with this firm was quite the opposite: it’s clear that they truly care about their clients. June, Julie, and Priscilla also provided invaluable aid during this ordeal. Although I wish there had never been a need for this experience, I am grateful to now have sole custody of my child, and thanks to these wonderful, kind, and intelligent ladies, I finally have peace of mind knowing that I am able to keep my child safe. Thank you Orange Coast Family Law, and especially Ashley!

Unfortunately, this was my first experience with a lawyer and it was terrible. Ashley, the main lawyer will be for you in the beginning and then you'll be passed off to her other two colleagues. They will give you other clients information, send you documents with zero explanation and basically be sort of there as long as the money flows their direction. If you have any matter that you absolutely need dire help or assistance with I would not choose this firm to bet on. They will not have your back and will leave you to the wolves. Too expensive for zero care or effort on their side. I'd give them a zero if I could.

I was defrauded in real estate transaction when purchasing house in Mission Viejo. House advertised as pristine and meticulously maintained turned out to have slab leak, water damage, rat droppings in the attic, crumbling stone fence, stains in the kitchen and in hall closets, broken roof, modifications violating building code etc. Seller was late with disclosures and termite report, termite report was incomplete, seller never provided list of repairs on the house, certificate of completion for pest report was incomplete and fraudulently listed work that was never done. Real estate agent was a dual agent and she represented seller and not buyer. Real estate appraisal report appraised house at the purchase price of $720,000 despite numerous problems with the house (not disclosed in house inspection report), however Orange County Assessor reduced valuation of the house by over $122,000. I believe Mr. Ettighoff was not effective and did not represent me in a good faith. Based on my experience with him, I do not recommend him as a real estate lawyer to buyers.

We just received our GreenCards and Svetlana was our lawyer.
She is really good. She managed to do the job which some more expensive lawyers was not able to do. Besides she provided to me 5 - 8 free phone consultations and replied for a few hundreds emails without additional charges during our GC Process. She replied on my emails during 1 day (as our deal was) and if I sent her text message she replied in a few hours.

After you become her client, she stops paying attention to you - it takes months to get reply on an email and it's impossible to reach her over phone. She just help you to fill out forms and that's it. She does not verify the result once it comes from government, she does not follow up. Too much stress for immigrant, you never know if she will do her job or just disappear. She did immigration paperwork for my friend, but he warned me that she became unresponsive, so it's better to find someone else - I didn't know it's that bad. I would not recommend to work with her.
