In first consultation, Richard took time to understand our situation and willing to answer our concerns and questions. I knew we found the right person. Instead of glory promises, he told us the reality possible outcomes. Rather than guessing our next step in this unfamiliar legal system, Richard would check with us and provided good advice with quick response. He followed through and got us periodic update. It really helped me to calm down. I will definitely recommend him.

My partner and I dropped in to Mr. Wingerden's office this week while seeking counsel for my partner's criminal case. Long story short the SCC sheriff unlawfully arrested my partner (who is a retired criminal) & falsified the police report - quite poorly as a matter of fact (I give him an "F" for effort...) The public defender neither followed up with us nor provided the discovery we on several occasions requested, so 2 days before court we were extremely desperate after leaving the Public Pretender's office as (again) he was nowhere to be found. We dropped by Richard's office where we just so happened to catch him. He wasn't working that day but had stopped by the office briefly. I informed him that we had legal coverage through ARAG offered by my employer, and was hoping he could assist us considering he is a ARAG network attorney. Unfortunately, Richard doesn't handle criminal cases via ARAG anymore (only Family & Estate) but he sat down with us for an hour or so and did a free consultation. He listened patiently and even took notes as my partner recalled the events and facts surrounding his case, and as we voiced our concerns/frustrations. Richard was very easy to talk to and has a personality that makes you feel like you're talking to a friend. I really wanted to sign him on to help us fight our case despite the fact ARAG would not cover it. I explained that I would be getting a large tax return any day now, and would spend it all on him and pay the rest out of pocket. Other attorneys (like the one I hired years ago for a DUI case) would tell me to sign on the dotted line and not think twice about it. Not Richard - he said that he didn't feel that is was right to let us hire him since our financial situation is already a challenge, and he didn't want to take all our money. His compassion extended even further when he told us that despite this, we could call him should we have any questions or need advice at any point in the future for this case or anything else. He did give us some solid advice, which I then did utilize when the Public Pretender called our name 5 minutes before court. I reiterated what Richard had advised, and when my partner was called in front of the judge that day the PD requested a motion that we be presented with the officer's body cam footage. The prosecutor objected, and although the PD could barely fumble a plausible explanation as to why we needed the body cam footage (because you know...who needs all the evidence in a felony matter anyways, right??? Cops NEVER lie!) the judge ultimately granted the motion to get us that footage. Without telling the PD the points Richard advised, he definitely would not have successfully filed this motion and perhaps wouldn't have even tried. If I ever require legal counsel for Family or Estate litigation I will 100% without a doubt give Richard Wingerden a call. THANK YOU RICHARD, don't stop being A ROCKSTAR with a BIG HEART.

I heard about Attorney Richard Wingerden from a co worker at my office and I am thankful that I retained Richard as our attorney to represent my son.
Richard is not only highly experienced but he is also extremely compassionate and caring about his clients.
Our experience has been outstanding. His step by step guidance, comforting nature, expert in criminal law procedures and his follow up / pro active actions made our case strong and resulted in successful outcome.
There are so many questions which come to our mind during the hard and gruesome process. Richard understands this and has replied to numerous questions from us ( text messages / emails) in an extremely quick and proficient manner.
We would highly recommend his services for Juvenile criminal proceedings.

I first got to know Mark through his YouTube series “Divorce California Style”. I was so impressed by the breadth and depth of his knowledge in complex divorce issues that I decided to meet him in his office to discuss my case face to face. Mark is a great listener, a creative problem solver and an effective communicator. With his help, I was able to navigate through very difficult custody and support issues, and take control of my situation. I highly recommend Mark. He is the man!

I hired Mark several years ago. My process involved important property and child custody issues. His Staff was very helpful and I was extremely impressed and thankful for having Mark and his staff help put these disputes behind me.
I highly recommend Mark and his team. He did not encourage me to over reach. He is very fair!! Mark helped me to be well prepared for court and Mark is more than capable to resolve all issues in a fair and reasonable way.
The process was very nerve racking, having never been through any legal process, however Mark was always very reassuring and very supportive.
I am so thankful and fortunate to have had Mark and his team in my corner.
Thank you very much Mark!!

This was my first experience with a lawyer. I was embarking on an extremely stressful high conflict custody dispute. As a father, I falsely believed I was at a disadvantage simply due to my gender and felt the court would side with the mother no matter the situation. In this instance I was confronted with a motion for my child to move out of state with the mother.
Alexis Revelo went above and beyond representing me. Her and her team such as Shaina Garcia are highly motivated, easy to talk to and are amazing at interpreting the sheer amount of noise that a custody dispute produces. She was honest, practical with custody expectations and always kept me true to the matter at hand when my personal emotions got in the way.
Thanks to her, I am more informed of my rights as a coparent and now have protected rights as a father to maintain the bond with my son in the state of California.
Hands down this has been the most stressful parental experience. I do not wish it upon any fellow soul. However, if you find yourself in the trenches fighting for your child, Alexis Julia Revelo is that of legend.
I am truly taken back by her ability to navigate the complex and stressful family court system.
Thanks Alexis for representing me.

Diego helped me though all stages of a difficult divorce.
I appreciate everything he did for me.

Diego was very calm when handling a case for one of my family members. He was very upfront on what to expect in terms of outcomes and provided the right advice based on his many years of experience that helped my family member get a dismissal with the DA by positioning the case properly and showing evidence that showed my family member was remorseful by submitting evidence of a voluntary class participation, and a letter from the psychologist.

Mr. Diego Macwilliam for me was the right lawyer, at the right time, for my particular situation. He contacted both a government agency and a private company regarding a potential fraud inditement involving me and my families estate concerning overpayment of funds. Without his experience and guidance I personally would have not been able to come to a solution for the two outside parties involved and myself. He made contacts with the two different entities and got them to provide physical representatives to conclude the transactions.
Mr. Diego Macwilliam explained each step of the way clearly and provided me with a time table. He made it possible for me to finalize the entire issue and he brought it to a defused equitable solution.

I have been with Ms. Hubbell as my family attorney since November 2003 up to present. Ms. Hubbell is an ethical attorney who responds to my concerns and needs very promptly and effectively, especially during crises. My case consisted of complicated asset division and long, bitter custodial battle. During one court date, Ms. Hubbell was very compelling in every stage. Because of her effectiveness, I had a favorable outcome for the case, which included having the other party pay for my attorney fee. I was fortunate to have Ms. Hubbell, a good communicator who strives for the best results for her client, represent my case. Overall, I am very happy with her work and her care. For those I recommended Ms. Hubbell to as their family attorney, they were also happy with her. As time goes by, I know that I cannot find a better attorney than Ms. Hubbell.

Karen Hubbell provided my husband and I with excellent legal support in finalizing some lingering issues from his previous marriage. I wish he had gone to Karen from the beginning, instead of using a mediator. So many people wanting an amicable divorce shy away from hiring a lawyer, fearing that it will lead to a court battle or cost a ton of money. However, when you have financial entanglements and children involved, it is imperative to seek help from a lawyer who knows the ins and outs of the legal system and can get it done right - the first time around. We found Karen to be very straightforward and understanding of the approach we wanted to take in getting matters resolved. With her help, we were able to finally lay to rest the custody schedule and financial issues that had been dragging on unresolved for three years after his divorce. I only wish we had gone to her sooner. If we ever have any future issues, Karen Hubbell will be the first person we call.

Joe Camenzind has been very supportive, caring, and extremely pleasant to work with since day one. Furthermore, his heartfelt sincerity for me and the best interest of my son was always of the utmost importance.
Mr. Camenzind poured countless hours into my custody trials; he is well versed with the law; was always well prepared and met all our court deadlines, even if it meant working Saturdays; he was very responsive to my many calls and emails; he also showed concern for me as an individual, which included calling me after hours and giving me a ride to my vehicle after court; and he ultimately showed compassion for my son and his well-being, which speaks volumes of his character.
I thank God for Mr. Camenzind’s legal representation and friendship, for guiding our footsteps in what has been a true test of faith, and for seeing me through to the end with an answer to many prayers. While the journey was not easy, the genuine support and care that I received from Mr. Camenzind is and will always be very much appreciated!

Dear Mr.Julian J.Carash
This letter is written from the bottom of my heart and with help of friends on translation from Vietnamese to English...
I would like to say thanks you from the bottom of my heart from someone who is young and talented like yourself to help me in my time of needs. Even though my family lives in the United States with no relatives and no support from others, we were fortunately able to meet a generous person like yourself. You were not prejudiced against us, nor did you judged us in the poor state that my family was in. Instead, you helped us without asking for anything in return and we are forever in your debt and truly grateful for your support. Even though I am not highly educated in the English language, I do have the common sense to say thank you and thank you very much. I have also posted this thank you letter on my facebook so for those friends I do have on facebook when they read this letter, if they are ever in need of help with the law that they will find you and support you as much as you have supported us. Again, I want to sincerely say thank you for all you have done for me Mr.Julian J Carash.

Kalpana helped my fiancee get her U.S. visa while living in India. Kalpana had enough experience to anticipate common issues with obtaining supporting documents for our case, and was able to help us avoid delays and keep us on track to meet deadlines. She coached my fiancee through mock interviews with questions that the consulate was likely to ask in Chennai, and did the same for our joint interview here in the U.S. She was thorough, organized, and proactive every step of the way, making sure we understood exactly what to expect. Immigration issues can be stressful, and Kalpana gave us peace of mind and confidence that we were presenting the best case we could.

I have been so privileged having Jerome Mullins as my attorney, I was fortunate enough to get a referral from several other attorneys to him and he has been 100% positive and helpful since our first meeting.
He knows exactly what he’s doing and has a good plan on how to get there, he doesn’t beat around the bush. He lets you know exactly what the possible outcomes could look like and give you a good understanding of what he can do for you…
I would highly recommend him to anyone. “He is the best Criminal Lawyer around, hands down” (in my opinion)
Jerome is straightforward, honest and diligent… I had five court cases, and we got them all expunged and got a certificate of rehabilitation.
He has been honest with me from the beginning, and he has delivered on everything he thought it was possible, and I am completely pleased.
Honestly, you could not ask for more than you’ll get from this attorney, I have had him call me on a weekend evening to give me a status updates and you won’t get that from everyone believe me.
Jerome Mullins is the attorney you want!

Very professional. Very open and friendly. Provided me with his cell phone so if I had questions I could contact him anytime. At first I wasn't sure with Jerry because he was in the Bay Area and I am in the valley. Didn't know if he would take my case. However, after speaking with him on the phone I knew I found the right attorney. He explained the entire process, what would be needed and what to expect. Seldom did I have any surprises. We gathered information and statements. Jerry put everything together and setup the first court hearing. He was successful in helping me get my 1203.4 (Dismissal). Next we moved on to the Certificate of Rehabilitation. He appeared with me at my interview and several continuations waiting for the DA to finish their report. The day finally came on November 18. My COR was submitted and approved by the judge. With that I was also cleared from the 290 Registration List. It was a long process, but well worth it. I would highly recommend Mr. Mullins to anyone looking for an expert in clearing your record. He is highly knowledgeable, helpful and has your best interests in mind. Thank you Mr. Mullins

In 2000 I was convicted of a very serious felony drug charge. I was 20 years old. I came from a good home, graduated high school early and made great achievements in sports. I started to hang out with the wrong crowd, which eventually led me to be in a horrible drug charged relationship. I got my life back together, graduated college and went back into sports. However, everywhere I went this felony affected my life. It was hard to get a good job. Interviewers were interested in me, but as soon as they found out I had a felony I could see it in their eyes and body language…disappointment. I continually felt guilt and shame throughout my life, when all I was trying to do is be a better person. Then I met Mr. Mullins; he was confident in the fact that even though I had a serious drug charge it would be possible for me to have my full rights back. My journey was not easy, I had to put my heart and soul on paper and discuss what I did, and who I have become. We went through all the steps of receiving a Certification of Rehabilitation and then submitting that for a Governor’s pardon. Mr. Mullins knew all the steps that needed to be taken, and how it needed to be presented. He has a system of how things should be done and presented, and with his guidance and hard work I was granted a full and unconditional Governor’s Pardon within a year and a half’s time from start to finish. Most people wait YEARS to receive a pardon! Mr. Mullins will get you through this tough journey with patience and understanding. I am so happy that I found him and that I have my life back. I am like Pinocchio; I am a real person again. I have my rights back, I have my life back and most importantly I feel whole!

BUT more than all of this, he always knew to listen to my concerns, understanding that there is a human being on the other side. He is first a good human being, then second , he is a superb attorney!! Why cannot ALL attorneys be like him? We can only wish...:)

It was a pleasure working with Cameron. Before hiring him, I called around to 10 different attorneys and got the run around. Most didn't answer their phone or have time to talk with me since it was a Friday afternoon, others told me "Please bring in a $5,000 retainer and then we'll talk." Finally, I came across Cameron Day. He actually answered his phone (the only attorney out of 10) and made time to talk with me and answer my questions right then and there. He also scheduled for us to meet on the following Monday, and after meeting with Cameron I was sure he is the person that I want on my side as I go through this financially and emotionally stressful phase of my life i.e. child support and child custody. Cameron is extremely knowledgeable and easy to communicate with, bills fairly and reasonably and responds quickly to call and emails. To make a long story short, we ended up winning everything we were asking for. I would highly recommend Cameron. Don't do it alone, he is the best man for the job!!!

Kate is patient, kind and sees the big picture when all you can see is red. To say I was a difficult client and that my ex-husband was a nightmare is a huge understatement. Kate held my hand, worked with me through all my breakdowns, and ultimately got me what I needed. She knew I needed something solid and that I couldn’t count on my ex to keep his promises down the road, even with a judgment.
I have now moved on with my life, have a guaranteed source of income and will be forever grateful to Kate for sticking with me. As an added bonus, she’s fun to work with and really cares about the final outcome, you are in good hands.

Kate was absolutely amazing. My ex husband became very controlling and inflexible in every way. He tried to bully and scare me into agreeing to what he wanted and once I had Kate on my team the tide turned. She showed me the utmost respect and made a very difficult situation much easier. She made my husbands attorneys look very silly in front of the judge exposing all the things he had done to me. I have my life back and I have Kate to thank.

Kate handled my custody and support agreements. She was super pro-active from the very start and always prompt, thorough, and clear in her communications with me and with the opposing council. Her background as a district attorney made her unflappable and extremely effective during our court appearance no matter how unpleasant or aggressive opposing council became. Beyond that, Kate took the time to really get to know me and my situation and made sure that what was most important to me became most important to her as she crafted and reviewed agreements and caught potential long-term loopholes due to loose wording, etc. My case took less than a year and I feel like not only were custody and financial agreements been put in place, I feel like there are long term protections in place for me and my child that may have been missed had Kate not been meticulous in her work. One other thing I appreciated about Kate was that she was very direct about what my chances were on various demands and focused me on what was attainable and worth fighting for and kept me away from demands that would prolong the case but have low chance of positive outcome. Very happy with where I ended up.

Breanna was incredible to work with. She and her team always had my documents done quickly after finding out what needed to be done next and were on top of everything in my case. The paralegal helping was super responsive and helpful and I could always reach out directly to Breanna if needed. I was in a very abusive marriage and needed out quickly and needed protection for myself and my kids. They got me my dream outcome with a protection order, more in child support and spousal support than I thought possible, and I couldn't be more grateful to them. I would highly recommend Breanna to anyone needing legal advice.

Kevin is incredibly knowledgable and smart, and he is one of the very few lawyers who can handle high-conflict trial cases well. He is never afraid of litigation and will maximize your chance of winning. He won the restraining order against me in multiday trial. The opposing attorney is highly competitive, and I can see both him and the judge respect Kevin highly for his knowledge of law and litigation skills. He also got what I want for support and custody issues. Yes he is expensive, but he uses my money very efficiently. I highly recommend Kevin for any family cases.

Kevin was recommended to me by my uncle and was at first reluctant about changing my lawyer. You see, it is hard to find a lawyer that will stand for you since I felt that my previous lawyer do not care about me and I just met Kevin but I gave him a chance to show what he is capable of. First day in court and I was blown away with the way he work and defend my case. In fact, it was also obvious that the Judge was very impressed with him too. He is very organized, prepared and aggressive in court not to mention very knowledgeable in this aspect. He won my case and got more than I am expecting for. I am very blessed and fortunate our path crossed and never regret the day I hired him as my lawyer. I am very satisfied with his service and highly recommends him to whoever is looking for legal counsel help. Thank you Kevin! You are awesome!

What has impressed me about Kevin is that he is honest and efficient in tackling the various roadblocks that have come up in my case. Whenever I would present a difficulty or question, he would clearly present to me my options. In addition, he has always had my financial situation and my personal wishes in mind. He has always been prompt in answering my questions. Also, I have appreciated that he has maintained a professional stance when others would choose to get emotional. I think a picture of him smiling would be good for AVVO. I highly recommend Kevin!

My friend referred me to Arthur as I was struggling in my case. After my first phone call with Arthur, I decided to choose him as my second attorney immediately. My first attorney did not do good job that make me suffering and dragging my case. Instead, Arthur has very good knowledge that helped me a lot. He always explains in very efficient, patient, and clear way that I can understand what my next step is. My case is relatively complicated but Arthur is always responsive and supporting me fully. He is very practical and realistic and easy to communicate that really make my life easier especially in such complicated case. Even though my case is not easy to close and takes time, he is always patience and try to save my money. He is really a nice attorney so I would highly recommend him to my friends.

I hired Arthur for an uncontested divorce. His fees were much lower than another attorney I interviewed. He is friendly and easy to talk to and at times would remind me that he would have to charge me for certain tasks that I could do myself and for other time spent not covered under the original quote. He is very responsive and checked up on me when things were stalled (with my spouse). I communicated with him via phone and mostly email which was very convenient. His advice was practical and realistic, not trying to get more money from my spouse for little things which would've costed me more in fees. I would definitely recommend him for an uncontested divorce.

Arthur handled my divorce which was very long and contentious. He was always available and patient to explain the law and provide helpful assessments as to my options. He guided me through this naturally emotional and frustrating process with in-depth legal analysis, sound and practical advice, and even friendship and support. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a competent family lawyer whom you can trust.

My wife and I had great experience working with Sewnet Degu for the entire green card process. Everything was so well organized and he is so knowledgeable and professional that we felt secure and confident from the first to the last step.
We got to work with him and were amazed by his professional attitude, responsiveness, support, empathy and more than anything, the level of knowledge about the immigration law.
Thank you again!

From my first conversion with him, I immediately become aware of his integrity and commitment and moreover the passion he has for his work. God sends angels in different forms for my family. and attorney Sewnet is one of them. He is an awesome person who is always willing to go extra mile, he is always supportive, caring and understanding. He is an excellent lawyer, very professional and knowledgeable.
He always return my calls or emails whenever I had a question or concern, even when I had to talk to him during his days off.

I was arrested for concealed carry charges and Don did a wonderful job to help me get the best deal. I was going to be convicted of felony in Santa Clara county. Don spoke with the DA and I recieved a deal on my first court date. I was originally going to get a felony but it was reduced to a misdemeanor with court probation for two years and no weapons for 5. He still helps me to this day with anything and everything pertaining to my case. I am in the process of getting my record cleared. If your having trouble with any gun related offenses I would give his office a call. He's just an all around great lawyer.

My husband and I used Ms. Mispagel's services to create our living trust and advance health care directive. Every question we had about the process was covered quickly, and for the few areas where we needed clarification or changes she was more than happy to explain details or adjust our documents.
Getting a trust set up is a stressful endeavor, but we really felt like we were in good hands with Ms. Mispagel.

I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Ms. Mispagel. She kept me informed, acted in a timely manner every step of the way, and offered assistance whenever I needed to do something to move the probate procedure along. I would be happy to work with her again in the future.

Jennifer was a very active part of my legal team. She was deeply involved in researching, framing issues, and writing up many of the arguements presented in the key documents. As anyone who is in the business knows, this ability is at the core of virtually every case. She also astutely (and when necessary--firmly), managed professional relationships with opposing counsel/party. VERY glad she was in my corner.

I am very impressed with the level of knowledge, detail and personal service I received from Marina Vinsky. She made the process painless and asked all of the questions that I did not even think of. She made great recommendations and really explained all of the options until I was comfortable and understood the result of my choices.
She also let me know when to contact her in the future and what else I needed to do so the trust would be complete.
I appreciate her knowledge of everything required in this area. She loves it and it shows.

My partner and I found Marina through our employer's EAP program. Marina worked with us to produce a Living Trust, and she made the experience a very easy and enjoyable one. Most importantly, she was very sensitive to our needs and ended up serving as a true coach for me. She guided me through some of the difficult decisions that had to be made and did so with a high degree of empathy and professionalism. What began as the fulfillment of a goal to secure my financial matters has morphed into a solid and ongoing relationship. I now proudly say 'my attorney.' I have had others in the past, but Marina is now my 'go to' person. We will be working on a pre-adoption process next, and I have every confidence that Marina will provide the same level of excellent service.

I filed a lawsuit against my neighbors for riding motorcycles next to my horse boarding facility and blocking the access to my facility with large farm vehicles. The goal was to obtain a prescribed easement and an injunction prohibiting motorbike riding next to my property. The case lasted 3 years and included mediation, several settlement conferences, depositions, 4 separate trial preps and a 2 week jury trial. I had the opportunity of working with Laurel throughout my case and at all times I felt that I was in the presence of a respectful professional that knew the law and how to present it. During the trial I witnessed Laurel putting her heart and soul into her efforts to help me prevail. We did get the easement and injunction. There’s no doubt that 3 years of fighting with your neighbors is exhausting, but the experience of working with Laurel and her associate Ron Rossi and watching them in action during the trial was something I’ll never forget. I highly recommend Laurel Champion. She is ethical, intelligent, courteous, hardworking, highly organized and a pleasure to work with. Feel free to contact me anytime to discuss my experience with Laurel Champion.

Laurel handled a complicated fraud and nondisclosure case for me, where the law firm on the other side was a typical "BigLaw" firm and had the resources to throw shot after shot at us in the case. She and her team never wavered. The results were tremendous and I cannot say enough about how great her work was.

Laurel represented us in a recent real estate disclosure case and overall was wonderful to work with--thoughtful, very well-prepared, and most importantly, calm and confident. Her outstanding preparation was evident throughout the process and especially noticeable in the depositions and arbitration when it counted most.
Her brief summarizing the entire case was superbly written.
After just 2 days of arbitration, the plaintiff asked to settle and pay our attorney fees, in large part because of the strength of her defense strategy.
All in all, Laurel is an outstanding attorney and I'd work with her again in the future--she listens well, is a great writer, and has an understanding of the legal issues that far exceeds her years.
