Paul Fromson is extremely knowledgeable, if you're working with him you're without a doubt in good hands. He told me my situation is something that I can handle on my own pursuit and still shared extremely helpful advice. Paul is truly the only attorney I trust and would get legal advice from. He goes above and beyond to help his clients out and eases your worries after any conversation you have with him. 10/10

From start to finish Mr. Tenebaum took great care of my case. The man handles business!
Most the time I didnt even have to show up to the court date, which allowed me to keep working. Just an awsome experience with this guy!

My wife and I got a call that our young son was in Merced County Jail. He was facing serious charges and we didn’t know where to go for help. I looked online and found Mr. Tenenbaum’s website, saw his positive reviews, and we gave him a call. In our first conversation, he was very calming, understanding, and he clearly explained the gravity of the situation. We hired Mr. Tenenbaum on our son's behalf via emailed documents and then he got to work, telling us to expect the process to take about a year. Mr. Tenenbaum was able to address everything without our son travelling from out-of-state for court appearances. We received updates along the way that kept us informed and could always reach him if we had questions. 14-months later, Mr. Tenenbaum was able to negotiate an extremely favorable plea agreement for our son. We highly recommend hiring Mr. Tenenbaum!

Mr. Tenenbaum is the lawyer to go to. I was facing charges for assaulting a police officer, obstructing justice and disorderly conduct. I could have faced some serious consequences, but Mr. Tenenbaum sat down with me we briefly talked about the event that occurred for me to be in this position. He reassured me that he was in agreement to seeking a dismissal as that is what I wanted. Goal accomplished. He is a great guy and professional lawyer. Highly recommend him and definitely will be the person I return to or refer anyone I know to should the need arise in the future. Job well done!

Tried to hire Carolina for my immigration case (AOS). Paid for a phone consultation ($100) and was told she’d send me a list of documents to prepare in anticipation of our first meeting. I never received any list and called the office several times, texted and left voicemails. Finally got ahold of her and once again she said she would email me but never did. They seem like great people but are VERY unresponsive and communication seems very unorganized.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mr. Castleton and his team. I cannot recommend them hi-enough! From the very first consultation, I felt welcomed and valued as a client. The staff was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about the welfare of my family and their future.
Mr. Castleton, demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the law and took the time to explain, in detail to me, ensuring that I understood my options. He was armed with knowledge to answer my question. Mr. Castleton and staff has always been timely with responses and provide clear communication throughout the process.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only skilled but also genuinely cares, I recommend, Mr. CastletonaI. I am incredibly grateful for their hard work and would recommend them to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I am trying my best to be a good sport about it.
Spent $200 in hopes of getting some useful information. A game plan. Something. Heck, even just to listen to my situation.
Only for him to not even listen to me or my concerns about my daughter.
I could tell right away, that he was not going to help. I knew it, by the way he was trying to excuse himself. He shouldn’t have taken my money in the first place . I admit, my case is very complicated and I’ve tried several different attorneys and some have told me they cannot take my money or my case.
He ended up saying he “doesn’t know how to do that.”(adoption reversal; or even representing me for latter)
Which, in other words, means he is either too lazy to do it, or he doesn’t see any money with me, which is strange considering I make six figures.
I even heard the receptionist ask him “you still want me to pull you out of there in 3 minutes?” Meaning, she was in on it too. She knew I was wasting my time.
Followed by his response “nah. It’s not necessary.” Meaning, he had zero use for me and vice versa.
Oh but he was able to go on Google and print this out for me. Lol. Must be nice to overcharge people for doing absolutely NOTHING.
This was a terrible experience.

This sorry excuse for a Lawyer was appointed as Minors Counsel by Judge Shelly Seymour at Merced County Superior Court of California and did absolutely nothing for the minor who has been abused by her father Leonard Vidaure and his Parents the past 8yrs. All he did was not answer important questions that were asked . He did not fight for what is in best interest of the child and acted like he was intimidated by opposing counsel. All his reviews on here are most likely fake by people he knows. If he is your lawyer get rid of him while you can.

As a student at the University of California, Merced, I suck out legal advice when my landlord was illegally withholding my security deposit. I consulted with Mr. Beiswanger and it was through his advice that I successfully filed a small claims case against my landlord at the time. Mr. Beiswanger had great solutions and most importantly made me feel at ease. He worked with my busy schedule and financial status.

Mr. Alonso and his staff were very helpful and professional. They made the process very quick and easy. This was the first time I had filed for bankruptcy CH 7 and it was a relief to get the discharge notice. They made me aware of all the pros and cons of bankruptcy and helped me make a wise decision. Thank you Mr. Alonso and his wonderful staff!

Mr. Alonso was great to work with and his staff was equally great to work with ! I mainly worked with Mr. Alonso and Rojelia, Both were very helpful and knowledgeable !
I had been rejected by Social Security and had worked my way through the entire process by myself. I wish that I had contacted Mr. Alonso from the very beginning ! Their staff was most helpful and gave me hope and encouragement !
We got a court date and ... Mr. Alonso WON THE CASE !!!
I would definitely recommend the Alonso law office and, many thanks to them !

Mr Alonso was there every step. His assistant Priscilla Olivia Flores is very knowledgeable as well. The atmosphere in their office flows very nicely, almost as if they can "finish each others sentences". I experienced Bankruptcy due to loss of employment and from what people have told me, my case was one of the fastest ever. From filing to final decree in only a few months. I thank God for guiding me to Mr Alonso's office. Thank You!

I was going through a very difficult season, and Casey did an amazing job. I was super emotional and not easy to work with but she really blessed me and my children. I think our personalities and communication styles were not the best match, but she was still professional and kind. My son's really like her as did I. She is an inspiration to women as well. Wishing nothing but success for her and I recommend her.

I can’t say enough good things about Neil Morse. He represented me in a custody case for my son, and from the very beginning, he was everything I needed in an attorney—down-to-earth, sharp, and genuinely invested in my case. He never sugarcoated things but always made sure I was prepared and understood every step of the process.
What really stood out was his ability to be both strategic and compassionate. He played devil’s advocate when needed, making sure we were ready for anything, but at the end of the day, I always knew he was fighting for me and my son. He was fair, reasonable, and relentless in ensuring the best outcome for us.
I’m beyond grateful for his guidance and support during one of the most difficult times in my life. If you need someone who truly cares and knows how to get things done, I highly recommend him.
