The people of Kuzyk law have been more than just a group of attorneys at a law firm. They treated me more like a close family friend, and helped to collect as much as possible as well as finding doctors and other professionals to help me throughout the rest of my life.

We love Pat! As Nevada residents we had a very complicated guardianship case, and was blessed to have been referred to Pat by Prepaid Legal. Our case was in Kern County, however, since we were turned down by numerous attorneys in Kern, we had to go to LA County to find an attorney. Pat took our case with no hesitation, was kind, compassionate and knowledgeable and won our case! She was fantastic about her price, and travel time. I highly recommend her. Honest, kind and funny as heck! Thanks again Pat!

Attorney Murphy went to great lengths to correct a complicated real estate situation. She did so in the midst of extenuating personal circumstances. She's very knowledgeable, insightful, and very compassionate. We can't recommend her highly enough.

I highly admire Sue for her dedication and unselfish choice to work in the public system. She has the ability to go private and earn much more monetarily. She is straight forward, honest and will work hard for you. She always took my calls and emails, and believe me I sent many. Her and her staff (Yolanda) were always prompt in getting back to me.
You can absolutely trust Sue Dell. I did everything she told me to do and Today I have my two beautiful angels at home with me full time. They are both thriving in school and in the Honors program.
Sincerely,
Lisa Solana

I was completely overwhelmed after I was hit last year in a horrific car accident. I talked to a friend of mine who happens to work for a law firm in the personal injury field. Turns out he works for the Parris Law Firm. I called Parris the following morning and they immediately got the ball rolling on my case. Gabriela was my main point of contact throughout this entire ordeal. Gabriela is professional, easy to get in touch with, extremely friendly, caring, knowledgeable, and always went the extra mile for me. Parris took care of everything, my totaled car payout, medical bills, time off from work, and they got me an amazing settlement. Parris Law Firm, and Gabriela, will always be my #1 go-to should God forbid I ever need their assistance again with a personal injury situation. I cannot recommend the Parris Law Firm enough!! I'm very Blessed to have had them on my side!!

I was very satisfied and thankful for the service Jessie Duran was able to provide for me. Im going to begin with the fact that i actually had the opportunity to compare his service to that of a previously hired lawyer who was not able to do anything for me, therefore replaced him/her. Jessie Duran gets in there and does not settle, he actually looks out for you in every aspect necessary when in that court room. I would highly recommend him as your next defense attorney.

We were looking randomly online for a lawyer for my daughter who had felonies charges and Jesse Duran name appeared and we gave him a call. He talked to my husband and daughter and explained to them about her case. We hired him and he got to work on my daughter case. When she was feeling down Jesse reassure he was going to do his best and that is exactly what he did. He got all the charges dropped against her!! Thank God for Jesse, without him my daughter wouldn’t be with us today.
I strongly recommend Jesse if you ever get in a bad situation and facing jail time or prison Jesse will fight for you!!! Jesse Duran is a very professional lawyer that will stand by and fight for his client. Jesse is the lawyer you will want and need.. I appreciate everything you done for my daughter and us..100% The Best in my book!!

Jesse P. Duran is the best lawyer who will take all cases seriously and takes charge to get cases dismissed and settled. He represented me and he saved my life from an unusual case where my siblings sent me to jail for their own good. Pressing criminal charges against me for something that could of been talk through as a family. Mr. Duran heard my story and he knew the right people who also helped me get this case dismissed immediately. Thank you so much Mr. Duran!!!! I highly recommend Mr. Jesse P. Duran because he will help you.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Candace Jones and her team, and I couldn’t be more impressed. As a process server, I’ve worked with many law firms, but Candace and her firm truly stand out. They are extremely professional, organized, and efficient in their communication. Candace was clear with her expectations and provided all the necessary details to ensure the job was done smoothly. It was a seamless experience from start to finish, and I look forward to working with them again in the future. Highly recommend Candace Jones for any legal needs!”

The world’s best attorney I appreciate every time and effort she has done with my case I’ve been working with her for the past three years. She is the best attorney I could even ever ask for what these bad reviews is not true. She works with time patients and everything even our fees, she’s the best attorney, anyone can ask for the state of California I would choose her over anyone with my case she has done a tremendous job. She gave me patience and made me understand my case no matter how hard it was it was new to her, but she was the best attorney she figured it out and made sure to happen. I would not ask for a better attorney. All these bad reviews is not true at all. None was soever. She follows the law. She knows the court system well and if she don’t, she will figure it out and take her time with you including her feet is wonderful. She takes her time and everything I say again she’s the world. Best attorney I could ever ask for I wouldn’t trade her for nothing she’s got sent. God made her for a reason and gave her her job for a reason/career , I couldn’t ask for Attorney couldn’t God said I love you. Thanks for being my attorney. Love sharice

Wow! I’m not sure where to begin! I had the pleasure of spending two years with Candace Jones as my attorney in a Family law matter. This Attorney is extremely professional, informative, a beast in the courtroom, and a great person overall. I’m thankful that God led me to find her on Google. Best of all she is local! Great for men or women in need of an attorney. I am someone that appreciates Google reviews, but I also understand everyone doesn’t value the same wonderful qualities that Candace Jones brings to the table as an attorney and in general as a person. So, when making your decision while looking for an attorney, consider that everyone is not honest in their online reviews when it comes to the negative ones. However, I can tell you from my actual experience that she takes the time to fully understand the details of your case. She will do what she needs to do, and be where she needs to be, and handle what she needs to handle, as far as what was contractually agreed-upon. She understands the sensitivity of each case and takes her time to understand the details of each person’s individual situation surrounding their case. She is on time, and very smart, and great at what she does. I highly recommend this attorney to anyone. Be truthful in the details of your case and tell her everything so that she can help you. Take a breath…. And choose her! God bless

Andrew Ward was a beacon of hope to me at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a reasonable resolution seemed impossible. Mr. Ward represented me in my divorce and child support case and was always calm and compassionate. He was responsive, kept me informed, caring and respectful about what I was going through. His support helped me walk through a difficult and confusing process. Andrew was always readily available and even when I had “emergencies” after hours, he always responded within minutes-instructing me as to the best course of action. In many cases, the timeliness of his replies turned out to be essential to the outcome of my case. Andrew always was on my side financially and constantly advised me about the costs and alternatives available.
I am eternally grateful for his service and I recommend Mr. Andrew Ward without reservation.

Andrew Ward is by far the best family law attorney in the Antelope Valley. His reputation is one of someone you can trust to be honest from the beginning, knowledgeable, and able to get the results you are looking for. My child custody case went on for almost three years. In the end he was a support I could always count on and he fought for, and won, every battle we fought for my daughter. I will always use and recommend Andrew Ward for any family law needs.

If could give 10 star if I would. Ms. Chellei was always busy, but that never stopped her to call me back with any questions and/or concern I had. There was times where attorney was in a different county 8hrs in court and she always called me back same day, even if it was later in the day. Everyone in the office was great even when i was super overwhelmed and might have sounded off towards them at times. That was due to my complicated case and was feeling as there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Ms. Chellei and her team not only made me see the light shining bright at the end of the tunnel, but handled my case with care, respect, dignity as any legal representative should. I am very, very impressed with their service and will refer anyone in need. I read a lot of comments about the charges, but all i have to say that this office is providing a service with a price that was presented at the time you signed a client representation agreement. Any service given, on the case from the office is not free. I must give credit to myself as well as i was ahead of the game on providing all paperwork in advance, which made the presentation from the attorney more efficient. Attorneys will never be able to represent a good case unless you provide documents and communicate with them thoroughly. Client -Attorney relationship is a tango dance, they must dance/work together.

She gave me three minutes I did not get a chance to say anything. She took my papers left the room came back and told me what was what. I was charged $175 for less than 5 minutes never being able to say a word. She just stole my money and hurt me further. I have requested a refund more than once. I went to her for help she did nothing but damage me further and take my money which is very little as I am on Social Security. It was supposed to be a consultation I needed help badly. She was cold and indifferent. She did not care at all to hear what I came to talk to her about. It was a HORRIBLE experience

The attorney was dismissive and persuasive when it fit his schedule. He pretended as if he was concerned but at the end of the day I was mislead and misrepresented. Do not use this attorney. Do your research and you will see. Give your money to someone that is willing to work for you.
The paralegal I had was amazing just not the attorney.

I had a bad experience with Chellei Jimenez, whom I retained near the end of 2021. She deviated from our initial discussions and altered the agreed-upon objectives. I received unprofessional emails from her and her staff, particularly Claudia, who made numerous mistakes in filing paperwork. Despite my repeated attempts to explain the nature of the domestic violence I have been dealing with for years, my concerns were not adequately addressed. In fact, her paralegal Claudia found it laughable, stating "Welcome to California". Another employee she claimed to have fired after she aggressively tried to make me sign papers full of false information about my finances. Ironically, I now have a restraining order against the mother based on the same evidence I previously presented to Chellei. This same evidence I presented to Chellei was one of her reasons in requesting a motion to withdraw. Our judge granted the restraining order without a hearing, indicating that my papers and concerns had merit.
Unfortunately, my daughter has been diagnosed with an emotional disturbance disorder, after the same events I expained to Chellei kept happening. Chellei's approach exacerbated the situation, increasing conflict and casting me as the antagonist. She advised me to dismiss serious issues, although they eventually led a judge in California to issue a restraining order against the mother. Despite successfully fighting a domestic violence restraining order about three years ago, Chellei's decision to request a short-cause custody trial, which I believe was a critical mistake, has had long-lasting effects on my relationship with my daughter.
Our honorable judge is now questioning why it took me so long to bring these issues up. The delay was due to Chellei's tactics, which ultimately reduced my custodial time with my daughter by 80%. Two other attorneys have notified me of her mistakes. One of them is very familiar with Chellei as a colleague. After I sent her an email with evidence of the abuse, she downplayed it and filed a motion for withdrawal, claiming the information was irrelevant to my case. (It was used as an exhibit and restraining order was granted recently with another attorney)
After two years of law school and several consultations, I've been validated in my belief that her tactics hurt my case tremendously. I hope we can work toward a remedy and implement additional ethical guidelines for attorneys who claim to be specialized and certified in family law.
When retaining an attorney who claims to be certified as a family law specialist with decades of experience, especially when it involves your children, you should have peace of mind knowing your investment is in capable hands.
Best wishes to all the dedicated mothers and fathers who simply want to be involved in their children's lives.
I invite an open dialogue to explore her actions while representing me and also to help validate my review. I have never wrote an in-depth 1 star review until now. I hope this post helps a single mother or father out there in making an informed decision.

Mr. Symonds has been an excellent attorney. He has worked very hard even working on the weekend to handle my complicated, time consuming, case. I have had two other attorneys and have been around six other attorneys and I have never seen anyone work so hard and care so much for his client as Mr. Symonds. His communication is beyond excellent. He communicates through text, email, and the shocking thing is if he isn't in court or with a client he answers his phone calls. His customer service is exemplery. I researched over ten attorneys and found that Mr. Symonds met my criteria to represent me in a child custody and divorce case. He has been honest, detail oriented, professional, and charges a fair price for the amount of work he does. If you have a tough case like mine and you someone to fight for you then you want Mr. Symonds on your side.

My experience with Mr. Symonds was a complete nightmare! He was found via text message by opposing council. Once in his office, I found out that they are close enough to know the opposing council’s husband’s birthday by heart. Clearly this raised some red flags right from the beginning. However, proving things like that are very difficult in Court. Mr. Symonds, who was assigned to be the minors attorney, did not interview the minor's therapist who was involved with the case for the previous 4 years! Instead he kept telling me his own story how he got full custody of his own kids via a 730 evaluation. He clearly, in my observation, is still very angry at his ex who now has passed away and was unable to disassociate his past history from my current case. He also showed bias towards my ex, who was a former Marine just like Mr. Symonds. In my opinion he prides himself in his fee of $150/hour and he told me that now, since he is a minors attorney, the Judges have to listen to him, where they didn’t before. Mr. Symonds did not follow up with me about the case at all. I prepared a binder to show all of the e-mail communication between me and my ex. Mr. Symonds did not even read it, he seemed to have already sided with my ex as soon as he discovered they were both former marines, completely unprofessional! At one point he told me that I did not “please him”, this was behind closed doors of course. I contacted a paralegal in regards to filing a formal complaint with the bar, she said that filing the bar complaint would only put him through some ethics classes. Thankfully he is off the case now. The 730 evaluation was completely in my favor. Mr. Symonds incompetence and bias caused many people to suffer. It took a 730 evaluator who had 30+ years to step in to resolve the case. Mr. Symonds has very little experience. Please save yourself heartache and stay as far away of him as possible.

You will not find better representation. With two prior divorces, I have retained a few of them. Never have I had a better attorney, representative, and counselor than Eric Symonds. His legal ability is superb. He enjoys his profession which keeps him current and extremely knowledgeable. He is sharp, with an eye for detail that many lack. I won't waste your time and simply say; I am a single father to a three year old boy. I hold Legal and Physical Custody with an excellent parenting plan in place. I am a man awarded “Full” Custody of his toddler. How often have you seen that? Eric Symonds is my attorney.

Life does not always go the direction we plan - sometimes, events in our lives can impact us in horrible ways. And unfortunately, we find ourselves in a position of needing an attorney. After my own devastating event, I sought an attorney with the knowledge and skills that could help me make sense of, and rebuild, my life. I was so fortunate to find Rob Parris. Rob is very knowledgeable and skilled in his representation of his clients. He was always realistic and tough, but also compassionate, supportive and encouraging. Knowing he was representing me got me through some very hopeless moments.
As a former client, I believe Rob Parris is one of the best attorneys available. Through the toughest legal battle of my life, I will always be thankful that it was Rob Parris whom I chose to represent me.

Daniel acted as the legal representative for my husband throughout his custody battle. He has a profound understanding of the law and passionately defends your rights. Although my husband encountered several rejections from the courts regarding an increase in custody, he ultimately attained a 60/40 custody agreement and made substantial adjustments to holiday schedules and pickup arrangements after hiring Daniel. He’s great!

I am a client. Well until December 2, 2020 I was. Our and Steve Fox's offices are located in the same building. We paid money to Steve Fox he did absolutely nothing but talking. December 2, 2020 Around 5 pm I stopped by my office to pick up some paperwork. Steve Fox called my cell phone to inquire whether I was at the facility I told him I was right there in the hallway ready to leave the building. He opened the door and invited me in. I was showing him some potential case paperwork through the plastic shield on his desk. All of a sudden, the door wide opened without any notice and Steve Fox's drunk Secretary came inside. I turned toward her to say hi, she moved close to me with large bags of food and told me into my face with a threat in her voice: "you need to get out of here right now!" was shocked and said: "Excuse me?". She repeated moving closer to me: "you heard me you need to get out of here right now! Her voice was threatening. She looked violent! Her face was angry and red. I was afraid she was going to heat me. She looked and sounded drunk! She screamed at me calling me a Russian w...., saying that Russian people were not known for their intelligence etc. I grabbed my computer bag and my purse and ran out of the office. I was shaking... I realized that I forgot the car key and knocked on the door to get them. She opened the door loudly cursing; threw my car key with a heavy metal key chain into my face; and kicked me out of the door. I got hysterical and called the police to report a verbal abuse and physical threat. Steve Fox was just seating there doing nothing.

I retained Steve Fox a couple months ago and I am honestly thankful that I did. He is top notch and finds ingenious ways to get your kids back even if the mother is cray cray. He is punctual, well-spoken and has a great courtroom demeanor. His staff deserve 5 stars alone and we're there for me every step of the way. I highly suggest hiring Mr. Fox to take on your case cause you won't lose. He's the best in the AV and everyone in The Know knows it!

Tamara Binns knows very little about law. I actually don't know how she has a license to practice. She represented my ex in a family law case. She was unprofessional, catty, dishonest, and also dishonest with him, which is insane because he was her client. During court she demonstrated that she was also pro-abuser and anti-woman. Needless to say she continued the case many times wasting both of our money, and then she lost. Royally. She is a piece of work and should be disbarred.

Tamara states that she is a criminal defense attorney as well as family law and car accident. I hired her to represent my husband and she did absolutely nothing for him except kept asking for continuances. Never was there any motion made or did she object to anything that was being said. I have felt that I paid this woman to send my husband down the river. After he took the plea deal of 19 years that he, she told him that it was a good thing that he took the deal because the last 2 men she represented ended up getting life. I think that maybe she is an ok attorney in the other areas of the law like in family law, which she practices in more often, but she is definitely not worth hiring if you need her to keep you or your loved one from doing any kind of prison time.

I would strongly advise against retaining the services of Marc Hodges as your attorney. My experience with him was extremely unprofessional and disappointing. Marc consistently displayed a lack of punctuality, often arriving late to meetings and court appearances. Additionally, he failed to submit necessary paperwork in a timely manner, causing unnecessary delays and complications in my case.
Marc's billing practices were also concerning. Despite quoting a flat fee, he frequently requested additional payments after the fact. Communication with him was frustrating, as he was unresponsive unless payment was involved, often taking days to reply to messages. On one occasion, I had to contact the bar association in order to retrieve important documents from him after I declined his proposition for further representation.
Furthermore, Marc's lack of commitment to representing my best interests was evident. He seemed more focused on his own agenda rather than advocating for what I believed was right. In family law matters, this lack of dedication can have serious consequences.
It is worth noting that any advance payments made for court services were not refunded, even if the services were not rendered as agreed upon. Marc also conducted business without a formal contract, allowing him to alter terms as he saw fit.
Despite the presence of Christian symbols in his office, Marc's actions did not align with the values they represent. His inconsistent behavior, suspicious usage of multiple vehicles, raises further concerns about his professionalism and reliability.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend seeking legal representation elsewhere to avoid the frustrations and disappointments I experienced while working with Marc Hodges.

Marc Hodges is a caring and thorough lawyer. He has helped so many people in the years of his practice. Anyone getting on here saying outright lies are disgruntled miserable people whom wish to spread their misery. It is slanderous to say outright lies. Grown men acting like unhappy spoiled children because real life didn’t match what theyve seen on television. . Learn how to distinguish your fleeting feelings from the truth.
It is shameful to lie on Mr Hodges on this platform just for you to spread the misery of your life. Shame on you!

Marc Hodges was late to our first meeting & consultation. He charged me $1,500 to file an application that he knew would be denied. He did not make the one phone call to the contact given that would confirm that he could not assist me with my matter. After conveying my dissatisfaction towards his services, he promised to file a motion, per request, and appear in court with me just once to make things right. Motion was filed with my signature forged on two documents. He did not show up for court. Court date was rescheduled. Called Mr. Hodges prior to 2nd court date, accused him of lying, deceivingm me, & being dishonorable. I requested a refund of $1000. He agreed with my accusations & said he would only refund $500. That's unacceptable was my response. Marc Hodges did not show up for court for the 2nd time and has not returned any of my calls nor text messages. His refund offer was unreasonable due to my lost work wages, my wasted time, & lack of effort on his part. I had to represent myself in court and although legally advised that at the end of the day my caae would remain the same, I just wanted mr. Hodges to appear in court and represent me as promised. Every statement written here is true & verifiable upon request. I've made peace within and forgiven Mr.. Hodges for his actions and lack of action. I have also decided not to proceed with anything that I was advised to do regarding Mr. Hodges. I'm aware that good business breeds good business. And word of mouth and referrals bring forth more business. I was referred to him by a very good friend and this is what happened in my situation. I would not refer him to anyone that I know. Good luck to potential clients and Marc Hodges as well.

Deputy District Attorney Kirsten Ashley Brown blamed me for my attack by an athlete. In spite of a 911 call from a bystander and numerous other tidbits, she slammed her book on her desk and told me "oh, so you're 'one of those girls." She then went into "from my experience, girls who date athletes, it's like a thing. It's like a circle." She assumed that I spoke in a hip-hop vernacular and started off explaining that "I'm gone keep it all the way one-hundred with you, so I'mma need you to keep it all the way one-hundred with me." I was not raised like that. I am college educated and I just happened to be in love with someone who abused me mentally which progressed to physical trauma that I am still dealing with. The door was left open during my interview for all staff to hear. When I explained the main house had been broken into and my car had been vandalized since I spoke of the attack, she told me she "did not believe he did it," as if she knows that because he is an athlete, he would be incapable of doing wrong and having someone do such a thing. My trauma center therapists had built me up for weeks to be strong and tell DDA Brown everything and that she is there to help, yet, they too were mortified at how traumatized I returned after seeing her. This is not an incident of someone not being able to handle a DDA showing a victim what a defense attorney would do. I know the difference. She slammed her book on her desk and said, "you actually want me to go out and arrest 'THIS MAN!'" I actaully wanted him to get help and help the next girl and only involved the police when I had no choice after seeking medical care at the hospital, which a nurse called them in. DDA Kirsten Brown also stated she would need to run things by her supervisor. I then in my lowest state of depression said, they probably will tell you no(based on how she treated me, that's what I gathered). She then slammed her law book on her desk and said "I MAKE THE RULES! I DECIDE!" She shook her head and told me "you had to know this relationship wasn't right." She then wanted me to tell her more details. Well, after being yelled at just like he yelled at me and the noise of the slammed book sounding just like my dislocated jaw. I froze. I've tried to ask this DDA get more training. I've left messages for someone to call back to discuss helping her, so she doesn't revictimize victims and show her that just because someone is an athlete, doesn't mean they deviate from the statistic of domestic violence abusers. I've have a good paying job and I have not and will not seek any financial damages from him in civil court. I wanted justice. Yet, she wanted me to tell her blow by blow what happened? How many times he hit me and when I was trying to go through the event, she sighed. Well, next time I don't know I'm going to be attacked and I am trying to protect my face and throat, I will have a notebook ready. I was trying to save my life! If it weren't for bystanders, I'd be dead. Train her! And to her other victims she re-victimizes, you are not alone. Ms Brown, athletes beat women too! I pray no one double your weight attacks you and you develop severe PTSD that causes you to run out of your house as you awake from a dream that he is attacking you again, like I did. After seeing Ms Brown, my therapy was actually extended further and further as they had to spend time getting me to feel safe enough to share again after seeing her. Why? Well, my trust had been built up and the person that was to help me broke it in a million pieces. I ask anyone who works with victims train her....please.
