I had the pleasure of working with Callan Olsen earlier this year. I reached out to a few attorneys in the area, and ultimately decided to go with her. She was prompt in her response to my request, and we set up the the initial phone call where she advised me of a few different strategies she recommended. She made sure our approach was cost-effective, and at the same time could guarantee the best outcome. I appreciate the upfront approach as other attorneys either wanted to charge me for the initial consultation, or just did not get back to me promptly. I signed the retainer with her right away and forego meeting with anyone else :)
We communicated mainly through email during the process, but Callan had always been prompt in her response. We were able to wrap up the case pretty quickly and seamlessly. Thank you again, Callan!

I contacted Wade Law Group for assistance with a small claims suit. I have worked with Brett and Dave McGraw, both have been dedicated, helpful, and have gone above and beyond to meet my expectations. Dave has provided effective legal advice and detailed explanations about the process as well as developed a plan for my hearing. Dave has gave me confidence in my abilities and quelled my anxiety. If I ever need representation or consultations again in the future, Wade Law Group will always be my first and only choice.

A leader, innovator and most importantly, a terrific lawyer. No one wants to need an attorney, but when you do need one, Amiel Wade is the one to call.

I hired Mr. Wade to expedite my divorce after being with an ill-prepared attorney for 1 1/2 years in which I didn't get past the discovery stage. I got quick results with Mr. Wade and my divorce was finalized after 4 months. His support staff quickly responded to all my emails and returned my calls. Mr. Wade is very experienced and knowledgeable and found an error in a filing by my ex-spouse's attorney and took immediate action on her behalf which saved me money and didn't prolong the divorce proceedings. He is involved in all the cases in his firm. Every Wednesday he conducts a meeting with his associate attorneys to consult and monitor their progress and provides them with his expert advice when necessary. Hopefully, I won't need Mr. Wade in the future but if I do, I would retain his services again because I was very pleased with his work and professionalism.

My case had multiple facets to it, but I was most interested in getting the finance aspects of my divorce taken care of by dividing the finances appropriately, rather than fighting and the courts getting all the money. Nicole took my case and was able to professionally and promptly execute each action item while clearly explaining it to me throughout the entire process. Nicole was able to keep several issues out of court thus keeping the cost down and the time of being in court was reduced as well. Nicole was confident and realistic when it came to dividing assets and support figures, and she wasn’t bullied by opposing counsel’s ridiculous attempts of working through it.

Nicole brought a peaceful ending to my case, got me a great result and I am grateful I hired her. My ex was very angry and unrealistic and she was able to resolve my case even when my ex filed ridiculous declarations that were untrue. She was knowledgeable about the law and came up with a smart strategy for me. Divorce is pretty difficult and you want someone on your side that understands the law and listens to you. I would recommend her to my friends and family and that's the highest compliment I can give Nicole.

Nicole represented me in a child custody case and I can attest that she is a passionate advocate, who is creative and aggressively pursues the best interests of her client. She clearly explains the laws and processes such that non-lawyers can easily understand. She is not shy and if you are in need of someone to fight for you, I highly recommend Nicole Fraser!

Joshua helped me to understand some of the rules and procedures around easements on private property and found some related official documents for my property which I had not been given as part of the purchase. This was very helpful.

Was looking for help with a private easement move....called around to a few attorneys and most were clueless to useless, with one advising that I should just move it and keep quiet. Josh took the time to hear me out, gave a clear plan for what needed to be done, got it done ahead of time and was able to make the change recorded with no issues at all. Overall a great experience.

I was referred to Mr. LoBue by family for a property tax lien dispute. We had a very complicated issue with the county of Santa Clara and Mr. LoBue was able to research the entire trail, contact several members of the county office, and provide a solid path to resolution. He executed on this with the perfect balance of professionalism and compassion for our situation. I felt confident with each conversation I had and he was able to make something gray as black and white as it could get. We would not have been able to obtain the answers without him.

I came to Ms. Burgess with a difficult family law/custody situation. She took the time to listen and understand the complexity of the issues and we worked collaboratively to resolve the problem. Her knowledge and insight into the family law court system were invaluable. Her focus is the best interest of the child. I could not have achieved such a successful outcome without her!

It's very difficult to trump the first two reviews - they pretty much said it all about Caitlin. But here goes...
First of all, if you have never been through a divorce before, I pray that if you have to, your soon to be ex will not put you through a contentious battle, most especially if there are children involved. Because believe you me, if you think you have any idea of what lies ahead for you, think again. There is no amount of hyperbole that can describe how insane the family law court system is. The bottom line, it's all about making money off of vulnerable, despondent, and already stressed out people. These lawyers DO NOT care about you, or your children. They only care about running up their bill and making money. They will do whatever they can (often times in collusion with the opposing counsel) to add and/or create even more conflict in your divorce because more conflict means more money for them and their firms. Again, if you think I'm just bitter and exaggerating, go online (Google, YouTube, etc...) and do the research for yourself. An ugly divorce/custody battle often leads to suicide, bankruptcy, loss of job, depression, illness, etc... So please people - don't do this to yourself and most especially please don't do this to your kids! Part ways peacefully, because if you don't, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
This is why I am glad I used this angel of an attorney throughout the majority of my long divorce/custody battle. She cares about her clients and most especially their children (she's a LMFT to boot!). She is not in it for the money and will do everything she can to save you from a long, drawn out battle. She is honest, empathetic, compassionate and is a person with the utmost integrity. Caitlin will not allow her clients to debase themselves and play dirty no matter how vicious and perjurious the opposition gets. I'm so happy at day's end that I used her for the majority of my long, drawn out battle. For she helped me keep my soul and my own integrity and at day's end, I can look back and be proud someday that I never debased myself (most importantly for my child as well).
If you want a mean, nasty bulldog of an attorney (btw, they are really really really expensive!!!) than by all means do NOT hire Caitlin. However, if you are looking for a honest, compassionate HUMAN BEING to help you, then please give her a call. She will always do what's best for you her client. She will never gouge you with fees, and will fight opposing counsel with compassionate logic that sooner or later will break them down. I call her the Mahatma Gandhi of divorce attorneys!

Caitlin Burgess represented me at a settlement conference and did a stellar job detailing the facts to a seasoned judge. Her mannerisms are of the utmost in professionalism and her knowledge of the family law system is vast. Her background in psychology as a licensed marriage and family therapist is an added bonus for there are many aggressive litigants who unfortunately have a pathology which the opposing side must deal with, sometimes in ongoing litigation which lasts for years. Ms. Burgess was able to formulate a tactical plan of approach to settlement, utilizing her expertise in several areas to bring the litigation to a close without causing me to have to shoulder the expensive and time consuming burden of a trial.
There is something to be said for representation that is so client-centered. If I could give someone new to divorce proceedings advice, I would caution them to stay away from the big firms and call Caitlin first. I was originally represented by one of the firms in San Jose. They felt a bit like a Mafia; only I, as their client, was the target!
I spent a large amount of money with very little result. I found I could do better with an attorney like Caitlin in my corner. The big firms are clearly after people's money in a very high-conflict time between former partners. They actually encourage the aggressive litigant and do as much as they can to pad up their bills.
Ms. Burgess is completely against this behavior and practices with honesty, integrity, and professionalism. Over the course of her representation, she fought hard and succeeded in winning me the best possible outcome.
I highly recommend Ms. Burgess for your legal needs. Call her and schedule a consultation. You will not be disappointed.

I would highly recommend Mike Millen.

Barbara Nesbet is an exceptional professional. We first attended her course about “Estate planning” in Los Gatos and we were so impressed by her professionalism and endless knowledge that we didn't think twice about hiring her to set up our will and our trust.
She guided us through the whole process with remarkable patience, explaining everything to us, giving us great advice, and making us feel secure and confident.
Our experience with her service cannot be better. Her rates are also very reasonable. She is the best and I would highly recommend her!

Barbara is an excellent estate planning attorney. She was especially good at making sure we were informed about the factors to think about -- not just the tax and financial side, but also the personal issues -- care of children and pets, health-care issues, etc. She really does go out of her way to personalize the estate planning issues and documents for the situation, rather than the "document mills" that seem all to common these days. Her focus is making sure her clients' needs are met, and that the legal process goes smoothly after we pass away, rather than a quick one-size-fits-all approach which may cause issues for the folks left behind during what is likely to be an already difficult time.
Her rates are also quite affordable -- her priority is to provide a high-quality plan at a reasonable price, and also not nickel and dime her clients. For example, she didn't charge to notarize documents or to make copies of a plan we made with her.

Mr. Janke has worked for me off and on for over two decades. Mr. Janke's only personality fault is that he is too honest for his own good. Countless times he has told me or a patient I have referred to him, "You can spend less on me if you do such and such." When I or the patient follow that advice he makes less money, we save, and we still win! How many attorneys would even think of keeping your costs down?
Mr. Janke represented me and advised me during may darkest hours when everyone else thought I was a goner. He testified in court as my attorney (this is soo rare) and was the consummate professional when the other side was acting out their emotional meltdowns over realizing that they were losing.
Mr. Janke represented me in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals and although we lost on a technicality we could do do nothing about, Mr. Janke managed, with help from foolishness from the other side, to get the judges to state on the record, but for the technicality that prevented us going forward, it was clear I was grievously wronged by the defendants and they should be ashamed of themselves for what they did. He even set up the other side to admit they were completely wrong and I was completely wronged by them during oral arguments before the 9th Circuit Judges.. I've never heard of any anything like this happening before.
In short, Mr. Janke is a force to be reckoned with. That's why he is our chief counsel (very part time I'm happy to say) for my wife's business, Online Image.

I had Maggie as my defense attorney in 2006. I was being railroaded by people, who worked with my EX, I was beat up but put on trial! Because they and my EX were bad mouthing me harassing me, trying to make it my fault. I was told to take a plea, but there was no way I would admit to something that I didn't do! She told me she had spunk, and boy did she! The prosecutor was really good! She pulled no punches. Her favorite phrase was "smoke and mirrors"
But the mighty Maggie Law was giving her all, and I was acquitted! She was so very compassionate and genuine! One of my favorite things she did for me was, She asked who my favorite actress was? then told me to pretend to be that actress that is who is playing the role of me!

My family worked with Maggie on a dependency law matter. She was able to clearly explain the intricacies and complexities surrounding our case, and she respected our needs and adjusted her strategy accordingly. Any legal proceeding is stressful, and family law is right up there: Maggie understood our situation, helped us prepare for various possible outcomes, and even smoothed out the wrinkles while we were waiting for the tedious wheels of the justice system. Finally, we were fortunate enough not to go to trial on this issue, and she did several things to manage to that outcome. She encourages amicability ("everyone is you new best friend"). She always hopes for the best, yet she is prepared to fight: I never actually saw her brass knuckles but I think I figured out where she kept them. She was extremely diligent and skillful at interfacing with the court and its staff. I highly recommend Margaret Law in dependency issues.

Alli helped me navigate the intricacies of a non-disclosure dispute I was having with the seller of my newly acquired property. There were lots of issues with mold among other things that hadn't been properly disclosed before I put an offer in. Alli helped me understand my rights with a free consultation and helped me during one of the most stressful times of my life. In the end, we reached a settlement and the other party paid for repairs plus attorney fees so needless to say I will be recommending Allison to anyone in need of a real estate attorney in the Bay Area. 10/10!!

Getting sued was one of the scariest things that ever happened to me. Where do you go when you don't know who to turn to? Luckily, I turned to yelp and found C. Zane Becker. He guided me through the confusing laws regarding employment law, and was able to settle my case outside of court for a fraction of what my former employee sought. He was professional, courteous, and took extra time to explain things to me that seemed foreign. I have since used Mr. Becker to clean up my employment documents to make sure the same thing never happens again.

This woman is the best. She is efficient, has great follow through and tenaciously goes after any mishandling of family Trust money. She has been a blessing. We put 100% of our faith in her and have never looked back. She is strong and communicative and --though she is cautious and never guarantees a 'win'-- she emits confidence and forges ahead with the word 'success' as her goal.

I was initially sued by a collection agency and since i'm unemployed can't afford to pay all my bills, my hospital bills, credit cards and I decided to file bankruptcy. I'm in search of an honest, knowledgeable bankruptcy lawyer until I came across with Mr.Fox website. I contacted him and he returned my call right away and made an appt. in Los Gatos. He explains me the whole details on the process, timelines and needed paperworks. He is very thorough, knowledgeable and straight forward on his fees. He is very good on returning phone calls, emails and answering your questions. He will support you all the way. I highly recommend Mr. Fox for his outstanding job. Thank you Mr. Fox.

We were referred to William by a coworker who was dealing with an extremely messy, nasty divorce because her soon-to-be ex-husband ran off to a foreign country and took all of her money in the process. This divorce was much simpler, and we figured that anyone would be better than the attorney we were currently using.
After our initial consultation, William assured us that the official divorce would take no longer than a month, and we could deal with the separation of assets, etc. after the divorce was completed. He was true to his word. We explained our concern about delays in filing, court documents getting lost, etc., so William personally delivered and filed our work with the court. He continually gave us updates along the way, and within a month, the divorce was complete.
A truly caring, sincere person as well as a wonderful attorney.

William helped me with a complaint letter against a contractor for defective workmanship. He was extremely professional and very knowledgeable about the construction industry. His hourly rate was also very reasonable. William was successful in getting my money returned to me very quickly. He went above and beyond the call when he continued to correspond with the parties involved until there was a complete resolution. I would highly recommend William for any construction related services. He is a true professional.
