Mark is an honest attorney who puts his clients first. Mark never mislead me in the divorce and custody process. He never told me what I wanted to hear, but told me what I needed to hear. Mark is a great attorney and I am very thankful I retained him for my case. With the representation of Mark, I finalized my divorce and was awarded sole physical custody of my son! Mark’s assistant is wonderful and always answered any of my questions. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Mark is intelligent, well-spoken, and has a calm demeanor always even in the courtroom.

We have used Edgar Lombera previously. I found him to be both highly capable and compassionate. I returned to have him do more work for me. He took the time to listen and advise. His advice was sound and, as a result, took care of my needs and, in the process, saved me a considerable amount of money. I greatly thank and wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing sound legal aid.

Attorney Edgar Lombera is a seasoned, capable, and effective legal professional. I have rubbed shoulders with quite a number of brilliant attorneys. What sets Mr. Lombera apart from the rest is his humanity. This attorney works with so much intelligence, compassion and heart! Not only the results, but also the process and experience, simply speak for themselves.

My wife and I were the victims of a vexacious litigant and her highly unethical contingency fee attorney. After our young "pitbull" attorney blew through $35,000.00 and then asked for another $35,000.00 we parted ways. We sought the help of two expert witnesses. These two people deal with attorneys on a daily basis. The exact words from them were "99 out of 100 attorneys we would not recommend to you, but we have a high regard for Daniel Martorella. We retained Mr. Martorella and within 3 weeks of him being involved in our case the contingency fee attorney left his client high and dry. It was not long after this that we were cleared of all charges.

Mr. Weitkamp is honest as the day is long. He gives every client his complete attention and exemplary advice and guidance. The many contributions he makes as a volunteer for worthy causes throughout the community attests to his deep sense of compassion for those less fortunate. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants an attorney they can truly trust.

Alan J. Gallivan, was an amazing lawyer. He was there from start to finish and then some. He's even reached out to let me know I had to file my yearly report. Had he not notified me I would have never remembered. He's efficient and true to his word. He really does care.

Douglas Field helped me with a case involving monies left to me, which were being contested. He got all the facts, and stepped up to the plate, and got me the monies coming to me. He is very smart and wise, and very patient. He would ask me a question, and really listen to my answer. He is a very good person, who is not too busy to take a call. He is very reasonable. He has done pro bono work for the under privileged, and he speaks about 6 languages fluently.

Unacceptable experience. See my feedback below to the firm after having an awful experience on what was a very simple request.
"The manner in which your firm has been communicating with me is bizarre and almost robotic...On top of that, there was no material explanation as to why such fees would be necessary. For your reference, I reached out to two of your competitors, all of which promptly responded to me via email with a normal conversation and discussion that involved a human back and forth with questions, and elaboration on my request. It was refreshing. Secondly, the potential fees of up to 4 hours for $550/hour for a reaffirmation were referred to as "ridiculous" not only by your competitors, but from other out-of-state counsel that I have worked with in the past. On top of that, some of which offered alternatives that require no fees whatsoever. In conclusion, the manner in which you conduct business and communicate is not only seemingly fee-driven instead of sincerely helping the needs of a potential client, but also not a fit for me."

So, I have a very challenging case. It spans two states and two different courts in Riverside County. Did I mention a very challenging Ex? Long story short, Valarie (probate area of practice) and Carolyn (family law) are amazing. They have fought tooth and nail for me. Let me be clear….this is not a “discount” law firm. The old adage, you get what you pay for. I needed competent hard working lawyers. Lawyers who knew the ins and out of each issue. That is what I got. Their guidance was/is worth every penny. These two women are amazing and I am so thankful for finding them. I can’t speak for anything outside of family law or probate, but I can tell you if you have an issue in these two areas, use them.

Do not use this man. He prepared documents for me, which I paid thousands for, and when I called a few years later to inquire about costs to update them, his incompetent assistant told him I was asking him to perform these services for free, which was not true. She flatly refused repeatedly to quote me a price for the VERY simple services I was requesting and insisted I needed to come in and pay for an hour of the lawyer's time in order to find out how much it would cost for me to literally just change one name on a document. Ludicrous way to do business. He then sent a nasty, vitriolic, factually inaccurate letter "firing" me as a client, accusing me of wanting free services, which is a lie. The California Bar advised me to lodge a complaint. Take your business elsewhere. This was the worst experience, most unprofessional experience I've ever had with a law firm. Awful.

I've worked with Eric to complete our will, and more recently to create our marital trust. He's an exceptional attorney. He and his staff are very organized, with great follow-up on pending items that we needed to provide. He made the process simple and easy to understand. Eric is also very civic minded, and contributes his time and resources to a number of community organizations. I'd highly recommend him.

I went to Mr. Rudolph because I did not feel that I was getting competent legal advice from my current lawyer. I could not be more satisfied with this decision. Mr. Rudolph and his staff have provided me with 5-star service and competent legal advice. He listens carefully and takes whatever time is necessary to explain all of your options. I feel that my estate planning is in better shape than ever. I have referred several of my friends to Mr. Rudolph and they have all shared their positive experiences with me.
