I was violently beaten while holding my child and left covered in bruises from head to toe in San Mateo county at 71 larkspur Ave in Daly City CA in 2015. Later that same year the same man who left me covered in bruises shot another man in Napa county and they sent me to prison for it while he got away as the victim. The sheriff's department set up flash bang after me and the others were already in custody and then they asked the neighbors if they herd gun shots just so they could add it in their report even though there was no actual witness

All,
I unequivocally recommend Cate Beekman as your next attorney. Specifically, if you need 5-star representation, go with Ms. Beekman post haste.
Why? Ms. Beekman is highly effective, brilliant, thoughtful, creative and most of all; she accomplishes the goal of zealous advocacy without insult, injury or raising her voice. She communicates as well to her client (me), as she does to judges. Furthermore, her working knowledge of legal standards and your issues – even if based on first impression - is first-class.
When? If you have a current attorney (fire them, I mean that with all sincerity), retain her and thank me later. Not all attorneys are created equally. If you are looking for an attorney, bring her on board immediately. I witnessed first hand, her ability to digest voluminous information – distill what was relevant and irrelevant and make cogent arguments. That goes double in a small area such as Napa, CA where the paucity of effective counsel leaves much to be desired. You have a diamond in the rough in Ms. Beekman.
She does not use superfluous words or enter anything into evidence to make the case for opposing counsel. She understands the burden of proof and uses it effectively and surgically.
Background? For context (what is it worth), I never write reviews. Everyone’s situation is different. I also put little opinion in the faith of others. However, Ms. Beekman’s representation was so beyond perfection, that I believe I owe it to everyone reading this, that you hire her immediately. What’s more, if it matters, I am an attorney myself, so I believe I know what good and bad lawyering looks like (or should like).
Ms. Beekman represented me in a matter (that in my opinion had no merit). She took the matter to its logical conclusion and prepared me and represented my interest before the tribunal very well.
First, her legal acumen is without peer. Opposing counsel, while over-matched, was a worthy adversary. Nevertheless, she objected when necessary. She also did not do anything to showboat or appease me for the sake of “getting even”. Additionally she made well-reasoned, articulated and ultimately effective arguments on my behalf.
Second, her demeanor is even keel. Her temperament is the same. She knows how to calm you down, while also laying the crumbs for the trier of fact to find in your favor.
To conclude, her sunny disposition is just who she is; a good-hearted person. However, do not let that disarm you, she is legally lethal when necessary. That said, if you need to win and “bet the case” (your tenuous position) – Ms. Beekman is who you should go with immediately.

Had a great experience setting up our living trust. We had put it off for so long because we found the process so intimidating. Trevor and his staff made it so easy. We appreciated the flat rate for all of the documents that our situation required. Most of the discussions were done online with one in-person appointment for signing. The communication between the office and us was wonderful. They know how to use technology to simplify the process. Trevor was highly recommended to us by a trusted friend and he STILL exceeded our expectations.

We had a wonderful experience with Trevor in setting up our trust. The previous one dated from 1990 and was hopelessly out of date. The preliminaries were all done by phone and the signing (and more signing) was done in a morning. They had been recommended to us and they certainly exceeded our expectations.

I have referred beverly Saxon Leonard since 2001 when she helped me in regards to a business matter.
Not only did she give honest and valuable advice, I referred her to other friends and she obtained very favorable results. Beverly does not over-promise. If you are looking for a glad hander, she is not the one you want. If you seek great results and a attorney who has integrity and a solid track record, Beverly is the perfect choice. I know many lawyers in Napa. I like most of them.Beverly is far and above the one I would trust to handle my legal issues. If you live in Napa, or if you have a need and live in the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Beverly is my number one referral

Beverly is very professional, honest, fair, and will not waste your time or money. Beverly keeps you informed, and will honestly tell you, your options allowing you to make the best informed decision. Beverly plays no games, she is all business. Our case was highly litigated, and full of useless emails back and forth, pointless arguing, of course an extension of the recent divorce. Beverly would not respond to emails she was copied on, unless needed to protect our legal rights, or enforce an agreement. Beverly is very professional, and knows what she is doing, the attorney she was dealing with on the opposing side, was less professional, and honestly sort of comical, but Beverly stayed focused and prevailed at everything we asked for her assistance with in our case. Beverly was able to over-turn a full physical custody to 50/50, obtained orders to protect my rights as a parent, and get financial obligations calculated based on fair division. Beverly had to do all this with the opposing party not forthcoming.
Best Attorney in NAPA!

I had an excellent experience with my attorney Simon McHenry. Also, with the team at Wells Call. He took the time to thoroughly explain my case and kept me informed every step of the way. The entire team was responsive. They made sure I felt supported throughout the process. Thanks to their expertise, I was able to secure a favorable outcome for my case. I highly recommend Simon McHenry and Wells Call to anyone in need of an injury attorney. They truly go above and beyond for their clients!

I am very distressed that a negative review (bot generated/computer hack) was posted in my name for Ronda Conner, Atty at Law, living & working in Napa, CA. The truth is my husband and I hold Ronda Conner in very high esteem. The quality of her professional work is exceptional. Personally she is compassionate, insightful, honest, hard working, careful, ethical and simply a pleasure to be around. We highly recommend Ronda Conner, Atty at Law, to anyone that needs help with the difficult tasks of estate planning & end-of-life preparations.

Megan was professional, courtesy and very thorough!
Developing a personal Trust and Will can be a tasking, stressful to think about and can be a long process, but Megan continuously stayed in contact with us through the entire process to answer questions and advise us at ever stage which made it so much easier to deal with, and her patience made it a stress free experience.
She is phenomenal and we highly recommend Megan to represent your interest!

I was very pleased with the excellent legal services that Megan Garner provided to me. I was the appointed administrator of an estate containing real property. She handled everything from the original Petition for Probate through to the Order for Final Discharge after the real property was transferred to the heirs. She was always professional, informative, accurate, and timely in making deadlines. She was also a very pleasant person with whom to work. I would use her again and highly recommend her.

I would absolutely recommend her for any Family Law need.

We found Conor to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Conor assisted us on general easement, and property right issues. The big issue at hand had to deal with our rights on an adandond county road that had not been deeded over to the property owners. He helped us navigate some fencing issues and live stock issues as well. Personable and compassionate, we would highly recomend Conor Massey and the staff at Gaw Van Male.

Attorneys Michael Murphy and Alison Roades-Brown are batting 1000 for me. They helped me favorably resolve two pressing business matters this last year. They are well respected in our community and approach law and conflict resolution in what I feel is a humanistic manner. They are completely professional, very responsive, and able to look at the big picture. Their fees are reasonable, and they are sensitive to keeping costs low. Having worked with many other attorneys, I know a good practice when I see it. I would recommend them without reservation.

My attorney Michael H. Keeley became my legal counsellor and High Trust Leader with the same high interest in my welfare that I had. Mike exercised a number of better-way outcomes with his resourcefulness and initiative to influence the court, present my case getting the right legal things done for my welfare. He helped me understand the legal issues and our resources and people for possible solutions. He helped me think and separate what mattered most from my emotions. Most important he gave me options, increased my understanding of how they work and added value to my life. I saw that he was reliably on my side having my best interests at heart resulting in from good to great outcomes I was seeking. I am grateful for his accountability and effective execution which is kindness.

There really are not enough words to express the level of gratitude I currently feel, nor can words speak to the sense of relief that came over me as Mr. Keeley moved on my son’s behalf. I have not been able to sleep at night considering the defense of my son in this truly life altering circumstance.
I would like to take this time to express my sincere feelings of appreciation for Mr. Keeley's services with regards to the defense of my son. "Thank you SO MUCH for the time you have invested on this case and the patient understanding you have shown to friends, family and me with all the frantic and perhaps, often stupid questions.
Mr. Keeley is indeed a fine attorney. His outgoing and professional manner coupled with his willingness to communicate openly have helped make these last few months bearable for our family. His reputation is truly one that he can take pride in and clearly he is a credit to his chosen profession. Our family was indeed fortunate that he was the attorney assigned to my son’s case in a 'court appointed' capacity! He has truly been an anchor for this family in a dark and stormy sea of ugliness.

Ms. Barrett has a decade of criminal law experience which is clear from her skill in court and legal motions. But her time handling misdemeanors, felonies, and specialty courts has not tempered her compassion and commitment to clients. She listens closely, always returns calls, and other attorneys come to her for advice.
From handling DAs, the media, and the complex legal system, it's easy to see why Ms. Barrett is who other lawyers will hire when they get in trouble.

Mr. Kelly Wallace is a respectable gentleman who assisted me in maintaining calm with his professionalism and timely responsiveness. Before finding Kelly, I had researched and contacted four lawyers, one of whom referred Kelly to me. After meeting with him for a short time, I chose to hire Mr. Wallace to help me. I have never needed a lawyer before, and without his help, I would not have moved forward. As I am a nervous and anxious person, Mr. Wallace provided the perfect balance of information, calm, and decisiveness. He was respectful in that he never made me feel foolish for my questions or lack of understanding. I am in my 40s and Kelly was the first and only lawyer I ever hired. There couldn't possibly be anyone who could have done a finer job and it was a gift to have had his tremendous assistance.

She is superior in professionalism, respectfulness, legal knowledge, and has a little spice to get the job done.

However, in a lot of situations when dealing with family issues you will need that honesty, integrity, and need the best of the best…like Ms. Amber Hayes office.
