I hired Ms. Mioni and she proved to be ignorant to end my case. I had to hire a new lawyer and she refused to provide a statement and refund my money! Illegal!
She is a part time attorney!
She does not work on Fridays and most days she works 1/2 days to pick up her children. Her clients are on the bottom of her priority list, but she will take your money and not complete your case,
I hired her, she asked me to get certain financial information and I did then I found out she requested the same information herself and charged me!
She QUIT MY CASE the day before she was going on a 3 month holiday vacation, yet I paid her for services not completed and she kept my money. She did not know how to quit my case LEGALLY, so I had to wait until she returned from her 3 month vacation for her to go to court & quit legally!
She is a part time attorney!
DO NOT HIRE THIS PART TIME LAWYER! YOU WILL REGRET HIRING HER! If you hire her, ask her when she intends to go on vacation! Ask her what hours she works. Her Staff are interns, no experience.

My separation and divorce was the last thing I wanted to go through. I had one consultation with Lovette Mioni, and due to her youth, I almost misjudged her. I asked her point blank if she could go into court with me and fight like hell for me, and boy she did. She knew her stuff, we consulted on everything together. She absolutely had her clients best interests at heart. Me. We got a good judgement, almost everything we wanted. We expected far worse, and my ex dropped all her claims against me when she saw that Lovette and I were prepared to do battle against her and her weak attorney till the end. Not only that, Lovette suggested we settle and not go to trial (forfeiting thousands in fees) because it was in my best interest to accept the judgement we were offered under the circumstances. Lovette Mioni did a great job and was empathetic but totally professional the whole way. In the end, she was very happy for me regarding the details of how I was moving on with life post divorce. Obviously, 5 stars.

I have a very complicated matter which is a crossover between immigration and family law. Ms. Tytell has done extensive research to help me ascertain the best way forward to resolve my current legal issues. She is extremely diligent, pleasant, and understanding with me. Without her assistance, I would not be able to resolve this on my own. I am so grateful for her services and expertise. Definitely consider her firm for your legal matters!

My experience with this law firm has been nothing short of a distressing emotional rollercoaster, especially given the time-sensitive nature of my child custody issue, which remains unresolved, ultimately causing harm to my children.
From the very beginning, there was a complete lack of transparency regarding who would be representing me. Despite my clear preference for Andrea, I was abruptly assigned a different attorney without any explanation or consultation. This sudden change left me feeling disoriented and manipulated, all while my children's well-being hung in the balance.
The mishandling of vital legal documents due to internal miscommunication only added to my distress. These errors led to prolonged delays and increased financial strain on my end. It seemed as though they deliberately avoided direct communication with me, the client, which was not only emotionally destabilizing but also hurt my children's prospects for a stable future.
The most alarming and traumatizing incident was when legal documents were incorrectly served to the wrong address. This not only caused significant delays but also placed an unnecessary emotional burden on me and my children. The fact that such a fundamental mistake occurred, causing further harm to my kids, is heartbreaking.
Despite investing a substantial amount of time and money, I have yet to witness any meaningful progress in my case. The frustration, stress, and disappointment caused by their actions have left my children and me emotionally scarred. Their emotional instability in handling this critical matter has had a direct impact on our well-being.
While I understand that mistakes can happen, the firm's refusal to acknowledge and rectify these errors, especially in a time-sensitive child custody issue, is inexcusable and has had a profound effect on my life.
My initial decision to choose this firm was based on a recommendation, but the traumatic and emotionally unstable experience I have endured has had consequences beyond repair. I hope others are aware of these distressing practices and ethics and think twice before seeking their services, especially in sensitive child custody matters.

After several negative experiences with layers in the past, I felt very supported by Andrea Tytell and her team. Her paralegal was exceptionally kind - she has even spent over 3 hours on the phone with me working out a matter. Mrs. Tytell and her spectacular legal team will not only be life long business associates, but life long friends.

Was my first case and didn’t know much about being in trouble. Long story short ask before jury selection if I could just accept the plea deal to avoid doing so much time and I was told no. Learned later that was an absolute lie and I did 2 1/2 more years than I would have😤😠

I have worked with Richard Raynor representing defendants in a number of serious federal cases. He is a dedicated, smart and hard working attorney that really cares about his clients.
He has great insight and is an extremely effective advocate. In one case his client was charged in federal court with narcotic trafficking. Richard's cross examination destroyed the credibility of the confidential informant and the jury found his client not guilty. If someone I cared about needed to be defended on a state or federal case, I would not hesitate to refer them to attorney Richard Raynor.

Mr. Bowman's office contacted me via a LegalMatch search. Initially, I was impressed by Jennifer and her assurances, and paid $400.00 for a legal letter to be sent within a few days due to time-sensitivity. I requested specific information from him via email and phone messages, requested that he look over previous correspondence to understand the case, and never heard back. A week later I finally received a rough draft on a Friday, meaning that even if I approved it, it would be going out 11 days after retaining him, far too late already. The letter seemed to be a form letter with a few personal details thrown in, including details I requested he NOT include. I immediately wrote back about how ineffectual the letter was and suggested we part ways. I heard nothing back from him. To this day, I still have never spoken to Mr. Bowman. After a few more emails, phone calls, and phone messages requesting a refund, today I was told point-blank that I would not receive one because they wrote a letter - a completely ineffectual letter that still has not been sent two weeks later. Jennifer made excuses about Mr. Bowman being in a jury trial. Don't take a time sensitive case if you cannot meet the deadline, and don't hold on to money when you don't earn it, Mr. Bowman. I have reported Mr. Bowman to LegalMatch and opened a dispute with my credit card company.

5 stars is not enough to begin to describe the feeling that Stanley Bowman made my wife, and I feel. If you have ever had an important court date coming up, and you had been looking for an attorney, you know what feeling i'm talking about. Especially if your married, and your slumlord landlord all of a sudden had their agent file a restraining order against your wife, its's not a pleasant feeling, AT ALL!. My wife and I finally found Stanley about 1 week before my wife's restraining order court date. Stanley not only completely prevailed in court, but he was able to bring my wife some peace before the day in court. I love my wife, but she doesn't always handle stressful situations very calmly. Just last night she could barely make it through, "The Walking Dead" episode, so you can imagine how it must of been leading up to her day in court. Stanley went into the courtroom, and completely made our landlords agent look like a complete fool, and the judge didn't buy any of his lies. Stanley practices multiple areas of law, he is currently working on a Unlawful Detainer, Personal Injury, and another Temporary Restraining Order for us. His rates are the fairest out of every other attorney that my wife, and I spoke with. Not to sound lame but, “STAN IS THE MAN”

Ok, so I only decided years later to write this review because I was looking for a Real Estate attorney in the South Bay and Bill Clark in Redondo Beach came up.
PLEASE TAKE HEED TO MY WARNING DO NOT USE THIS AGENT FOR CONSTRUCTION. He absolutely does not know anything about construction law.
We had to take our contractor back in 2005 to court for abandoning our construction, stealing, he had specific city engineers working with him to break certain city regulations that were in place through the city of Redondo Beach.
The contractor had a Vice President of the bank who financed our construction project she financed the project without the contractor having to sign the contact.
All the research and investigation that was done myself personally and proof we had so that Bill Clark can without a doubt open and shut our case. Instead an attorney who was a seasoned attorney in knowing contact law made Bill Clark look like an attorney that just graduated the bar exam.
I am not saying this to be hateful this is the truth. He is not a lawyer who is about watching the clients money but is about unending lunch meetings with the opposing attorney. In addition to trying cases where he feels just because he has a title attorney he can specialize in all areas of law.
We should of went with Mr. Burton in Hermosa Beach just the first consultation with Mr. Burton, I remember him pointing out certain construction law facts.
Don't get me started on Mr. Clarks so called forensic expert chasing down a rabbit hole on something that was not there and and Mr. Clark not stopping him and sticking to the facts of the hard evidence in the case. Unless he changed his field as an attorney he used to specialize in Real Estate law. Either way after all these years I would never recommend him.
If you want specific details I would be happy to tell you more. Contact me only through Avvo.

William Foster Clark represented our HOA association in fighting a building-defect lawsuit with the builder. He led us in a path that he can make huge living from us but yielding very disappointing result. At the end we have paid him more than $400,000. We only received a settlement of $850,000 not the $2 million that he made us believing at the first place. After we take a deep look into the case, this whole thing can be done within ~$100,000 if he led us in a reasonable way as ointed out by our legal consultant. We stop using him. We wrote our own statement of the work and repair contract. This way we kept him from leading us to a wrong direction again.
