Mr Southcott was an EXCELLENT attorney for me. I was facing felony robbery with a prison prior and I pled to restitution and a misdemeanor theft. No jail and easy probation. He was a sheriffs deputy for 20 years before becoming an attorney so he knows the system very well. He spent time with me, explained everything very well and got me practically off considering what I was facing. Hire him and thank me later. Richard S

Many Thanks to Atty Southcott for his great work in helping my daughter. Atty Southcott was very detail oriented and shared the great outcome of the case with us moments after leaving the courtroom. I greatly appreciate his knowledge and explanations of what we could expect and helpful insights on how to achieve a good case outcome.

So I was a respondent to a domestic violence restraining order, I hired Ed Southcoat to represent me in my hearing because there were strong accusations of lies from the petitioner. Ed really cared me as a human being listening and taking care of my tough case, treated me with respect and believing in me. Not only we won but are friends for life.

I had a complicated immigration issue. I came to the US in the late 80's as a tourist and never left. I was petitioned by my father who was a US citizen, unfortunately he passed away before my case was resolved. No matter how hard I tried and despite my college degree and professional background, I did not get very far in my job hunt using a ridiculously obvious fake green card . In my desperation, after many years of doing odd jobs, I misrepresented myself just so I can get a temporary work permit (a decision that I soon deeply regretted!) For while the work permit enabled to land a decent job, It became the primary reason why 2 prominent immigration lawyers in Los Angeles refused to take my case. The "misrepresentation" extended into many aspects of my life: I claimed US citizenship in filing my taxes, buying a home, attending classes, etc. I stayed at my job for many years - until E-verify forced me to resign. All of a sudden, I had nowhere to go. So despite my prior uneventful consultations with immigration lawyers, I decided to try it one last time. Atty. Marquez was assigned to handle my case. She acknowledged that my case was unusually complex. But unlike other lawyers who did not show any interest in finding a solution, she took my case and attacked the problem at every possible angle. The preparation of the documents was very challenging and took me several months to complete. In the end she was able to come out with a very compelling presentation that was honest and thorough, and addresses all the possible scenarios that could prevent me from getting a Permanent resident visa. I liked her because she was very professional, she never gave me any false assurances, she never gave up on me even when I was feeling discouraged and she was always there when I needed her. I got my GREEN CARD yesterday (August 22, 2014)!

Lourna M. Marquez Carrasquillo Stands out above of the rest. She was always available to us and never left out any information that INS required from us. All the documents were current and everything was always processed on time. Thank you Lourna for everything you have done for us getting Edith here legally and stress free. I will constantly pass on your name to others that would need your services. I have heard horror stories from others and their attornies and had spent so much money and still not approved for entry in the USA.

As I have moved through business life, I've had the need (fortunately or not) to need the legal advice of various specialties. Tim is one of those incredibly knowledgeable and strangely practical attorneys that will let you know when to go for the throat, when to lay down and when to just negotiate an amicable resolution. He is thorough with his analysis of the situation and always has a strategy to suggest with multiple outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Tim and his team to my closest friends (though I wish for them. It to need him). Thank you Tim.

My FDA medical device manufacturing company located in Gardena, California has been represented by Tim and his firm for many years, and his legal services have proven to be invaluable. He has represented my company and me in the break-up of a partnership, in the pursuit of insurance coverage owed to my company, and has provided general business advice over the years on various transactional issues. He is now handling the defense and prosecution of a multi-million dollar intellectual property claim pending between my company and a former distributor. Through the years he has repeatedly proven that he has protected my best interests, and I highly recommend his firm for business litigation and transactional legal work.

He even prepared sample test for the interview. I would strongly recommend him to everyone.

I hired Mark for my employment based green card application. First we talked on the phone as a free consultation session and then I hired him. He was very professional and excellent in communication. He guided me through the process and it felt very smooth. He gave me guidelines for the recommendation letters and he told which documents I need to gather. He prepared a long and excellent cover letter which would have been a big stress if I had done it by myself. He finally prepared and submitted all the necessary forms. Later in the process, we had long conversations over the phone about how the interview would be. In general, he was always responding to any question I might have had very quickly and accurately. I am very happy to have worked with him and I highly recommend him.

Mark was my lawyer from mid 2015 to mid 2017 representing me for my EB2 NIW case with USCIS. During that period he helped me greatly with assembling my EB2 NIW case; he was very helpful in composing my personal EB2 letter and the templates for the recommendation letters, as well as with all the other documents. He was very helpful with every step and was always available for questions. My case eventually did get approved and I found Mark’s work overall very diligent and helpful. Mark was recommended to me by a colleague and I myself recommended Mark for two of my colleagues for NIW cases.

Ashley worked on my case with another attorney. I met Ashley the day of the court hearing, and she was very professional. We talked about the legal issue that I had right in the court house, and from there she worked her magic. She is definitely on your side and will 100%. She sees through bluffs and nonsense in people, which I wholeheartedly respect. She was able to talk to the opposing party before we met with the judge to agree to dismiss the case, which was amazing. Hire her for your needs, you will not regret it. She is 100% worth it. Don’t think about the money, think about the peace of mind she will give you at the end of the day.

Ashley picked up my case at the end of 2021 and after almost a year (not her doing), she helped me beat it last week. There aren’t enough words to describe her! She not only is a phenomenal attorney but an amazing human being as well. She is one of the few attorneys that I can say actually cares. She didn’t just help beat a custody case, she helped me finally stand up for myself. I am forever grateful for Ashley.

I needed an attorney to assist with a pseudo-domestic issue and Ashley was extremely professional, diligent, and helped to keep the costs down as well. Her legal advice was concise and understandable to someone such as myself with little to no legal experience in this area. She was extremely accommodating with working around my schedule, and she was able to handle all signatures on documents electronically, so I did not have to go out of my way to go to her office to sign documents. She also gave me a payment plan to pay off my balance. Overall, very high value and extremely happy with Ms. Dudley. If I have legal issues in the future, I would work with her again.

Left me with some research to complete to further my position. So far he is right to the point, gets things done; a roll up your sleeves and plow through it kinda lawyer. I like it and hope it stays this "full steam ahead".

This review is long overdue. A dissolution is an extremely emotional and draining process period. The best thing you can do for yourself and for your child may not just be to get a divorce, but to work with a firm that genuinely cares about your circumstances and will fight tooth and nail for you. I get emotional just reflecting on how much more I got out of my dissolution than I could have ever imagined if it weren’t for Paul, Liz, and Linda. These 3 ARE the light at the end of the tunnel. Who you work with MATTERS, especially if you’re involved in a high-conflict divorce with children involved. Do what’s best for yourself and your children and retain this firm. I am writing this with tears because of how grateful I am to have these 3 incredible attorneys by my side every step of the way.

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you what a skilled, professional and valued partner you have in Jillian. Jillian has been my attorney throughout the last 6 years and has helped me through one of the most challenging times of my life. From a legal standpoint, Jillian is absolutely amazing. Her depth of knowledge of family law, written and verbal communication skills and ability to navigate a variety of legal situations are unmatched. She has the unique ability to be objective, aggressive and unyielding, yet still maintain a pleasant professionalism that endears other attorneys, courtroom staff and judges to her as well. I have personally witnessed this each time we have been in court together. However, all of that is not even what makes Jillian so great. Jillian is an authentically caring individual. She incorporates a true personal side to what she does. She sees the human side to her client, what they are going through and the impact it has on their lives. She has counseled me through personal aspects of my case many times throughout the past 6 years. I have never left a conversation with Jillian in which I did not feel uplifted, encouraged and completely supported, despite whatever was going on legally with my case. In addition, she has been genuine in her desires for the best outcomes for me and my children. Jillian's involvement in my case has changed the trajectory of not just my life but more importantly the lives of my two children. The positive impact of which, cannot be measured.

If you have to go through the ugly process of getting divorced, you ABSOLUTELY want Mehry Mohseni on YOUR side. Mehry is a trusted advisor and partner and is always looking out for your best interests. She keeps the process on track, keeps the ex and their counsel honest, and is not afraid to give her clients critical feedback when she thinks that they have unrealistic wants or expectations. As your attorney she will tell you what she thinks you need to hear vs. what you want to hear...which is priceless. I cant recommend Mehry more highly. Do yourself a favor if you are going through a divorce and retain Mehry NOW....before your ex does.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Michael Jenkins for family trust set up. From the very start, he was incredibly responsive and took the time to answer all of our questions with patience and clarity. Michael has a gift for making the legal process feel straightforward and manageable, and his advice has always been thoughtful and spot-on. The pricing is transparent and fair, which made us feel at ease knowing there wouldn’t be any unexpected costs. Some of the best parts of working with him are the speedy updates and unlimited questions allowed (which are all included in the price!) — most times we’d hear back within a day, keeping us well-informed at every step. The price also includes switching your home to the Trust name and in-home notarization which can add up to $800. Plus, everything can be done remotely via Zoom, which was a huge convenience for us. Overall, Michael’s service was outstanding, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable, efficient, and truly caring attorney!

I can tell you that the positive reviews for this firm are merited! I had an important question regarding probate law. I contacted my previous family law attorney, explained my situation and subsequent question to her assistant, and waited all day for a response. Her assistant called me back late afternoon with no answer to my question and the suggestion that I reach out to her partner who specializes in probate law. I was then told I’d have to wait three weeks for a zoom call to ask her partner my question. I googled highly rated probate attorneys and stumbled upon Jenkins and Jenkins. I called, explained my question to the assistant and was put through to a cheerful Caroline Jenkins. She listened to my concern and answered my question, which enabled me to make the right decision to drop further pursuit. She also gave me a referral in case I wanted to go forward through legal channels. Caroline, you are my hero. Admittedly, people make jokes about lawyers because many of them are just out to make a buck and will tell you the things you want to hear. When you find a lawyer like Caroline, hold on tight and save yourself from misery and financial loss. Thank you again, Caroline!!!

I’m thrilled to share that my EB1A petition was just approved under premium processing, thanks to Daniel Guo’s incredible support! His knowledge, experience, and prompt responses truly made a difference throughout this process.

My husband and I were represented by David Schneider in a personal injury case involving a motorcycle accident. We interviewed several lawyers for our case and choose David because he was a good listener, a well informed adviser, and seemed honest, ethical, and forthright. We spent the next 4.5 years working with David and his firm and have nothing but wonderful things to say about them. David is, first and foremost, a great communicator. He listens compassionately and without judgement, he considers issues thoroughly before speaking, and then explains his perspective simply and clearly. Due to his extensive experience in both defense and prosecution, he was able to evaluate our case from multiple perspectives and strategize accordingly. His legal partner, and staff are equally talented and were a pleasure to work with. We were pleased with our settlement, but even more pleased to have endured such a difficult life change with the capable and supportive personal care given to us by David Schneider.

He has a practical way of looking at problems and recognizes that spending large amounts of money on attorneys is not always the best way to approach a problem. He is a get it done type of attorney. When necessary, David has represented us in court and he has always done an outstanding job. He is well prepared, attentive to the proceedings, articulate and respected in the court.

Hi, We had a civil litigation which was very complex. The case was involved among US/India. I spoke to several (more than 25+) attorneys in SD/Irvine/Vista/LA but I ended up in this building. Didn't knew that I was going in safest hands. Rebecca was very hard working , intelligent, highly responsive (within in few minutes) and she spent quite a lots in making sure that we are putting all facts together in best possible way. Their approach was criticized by few highly rated lawyers within SD but I was always confident that she will deliver the best possible results. She is very calm and will listen and then make sure we also understand where we actually stand. Best thing - she will never say about fake or cooked results but client will assess her depending the confidence and the way she writes. I was very amazed and confident throughout my trial. I never thought to cross check her approach with other lawyers. I highly recommend to those who search for lawyers by avvo ratings that they should be more sensible and go with the facts, trust and get confidence with this law firm , especially with Rebecca Reed. Me and my whole family is very thankful to her.

She is brilliantly sharp with always good decisions sorting out the pros and cons of our very complex cases ultimately allowing the client the final answer, which is easy only because she has prepared the case so well that we have the knowledge needed to make those decisions with her.

He clearly stated the updates and goals of our case, while answering any questions or concerns we had along the way. Other qualities were his thoroughness, kindness, and honesty. Lastly, we were never given false hope and were mindfully walked step by step until the case's conclusion.

Michael explained how the law applied to my predicament and was able to write a clear demand to my employer. His understanding of my predicament was with such kindness and expertise that we were able to resolve the matter in a swift and positive result. Michael's communication style is professional, kind, and extremely responsive. His knowledge and expertise specifically in contract and employment law assisted me to in a very favorable settlement, which exceeded my expectations and my former employers initial offer. Michael fought for me when others did not, and kept my best interests at heart the entire time. He carefully considered each item of negotiation and expertly drafted responses in a timely manner.

Michael was able to provide compassionate legal advice, care, and understanding in a highly stressful situation.

I hired Michael to help me with a legal matter (a business where I had been storing valuables absconded with my property and sold it! And we had to sue him to try to get my money back), and after working with him to a very successful conclusion of this legal case, I cannot find enough good things to say about the GREAT GREAT job Michael did. He managed to negotiate a very satisfactory settlement for me that I thought was quite fair value given the reality of what was legally do-able. I believe it was his experience in the law that enabled him to do this, and as well I was very happy in the way Michael worked with me….good communication, good service and in my opinion very fair pricing considering the amount of work he did. I have no connection to Michael other than being someone who hired him for a legal matter who is very satisfied with all aspects of the service he provided. I would definitely recommend him.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
