I cannot speak highly enough of the excellent experience I've had with ADZ Law; Melissa Fox, in particular. Her approach is empathetic, candid, comprehensive, and direct. She offered balanced perspectives and guidance, and I recommend her to anyone experiencing issues related to harassment, intimidation, and domestic violence in all its forms. I'm grateful I had Melissa to help me navigate a painful and frightening experience with compassion and clarity, and I'll continue to seek her counsel.

As the second attorney I've had I'll say Attorney David Lowe helped me feel more like a human than I have since the beginning of my injury. With his help I got doctors that spend more time examining me than I spend in the waiting room trying to make myself comfortable. I don't know what I would have done if my girlfriend didn't recommend this attorney.

David Lowe is very knowledgeable and always very helpful. I recommend this law office to many potential clients because I know they are in good hands. You can always count on Wendy and Laura to help when David is unavailable. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. If they can’t answer the question ( which is very rare). They find the answer and get right back to you the same day.
They are the best.......

Marvin and Michael Firestone helped me secure my medical license in the state of California after past difficulties with my residency program director led the California Medical Board to initially deny my medical license application when I moved to California after my residency training. I could not have overcome the initial denial of my medical license application without their help. They are knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and kind. They are very familiar with medical license regulations and medical board conflicts. I would strongly recommend them to other health care professionals who need help dealing with the California Medical Board. Thank you Firestone Law Firm for helping me get my career back! Sincerely, -Abraham

I'm a bay area real estate broker/agent. I've referred Carmen to a few of my clients. All of which would tell me she would never return their calls or they could never connect with her. Should have learned then but instead I decided I should give her a try myself for my estate planning documents especially since we had done some events together. Never did I think my estate planning documents would take over a year to complete.
I signed our engagement letter 6/3/22, the first payment link was sent to me on 6/4/22 (quick turnaround). I had an in-person meeting with her on 7/28/22 after rescheduling on my end a few times due to personal reasons. Soon after I provided all of my documents to her and we scheduled a follow up meeting for 9/22/22.
I didn’t hear anything back from her until 11/14/22, with another payment link for another service she provided. At that moment I inquired about finalizing my trust documents, her office told me they were going to mail them to me the following week. One month goes by and I inquire again on 12/6/22. She claims she is onboarding new team members and has been understaffed. On 12/20/22 I ask her if she was able to find an attorney out of state to put my properties in the trust. She claimed she did and that she would have the deeds ready the following week. January came and went and zero communication from her or her office. I inquired again on 2/3/23 - following up on the mobile notary to sign & finalize trust documents. Another person in her office responds back and I finally get a mobile notary scheduled for 2/9/23. I assumed this was it and I was just waiting around for my executed county stamped documents to get mailed back to me. Well June comes around and I still haven’t received anything back. I inquire again on 6/6/23. She says she is checking with her assistant. No communication again until I inquire again on 6/27/23. One property was finally taken care of and confirmed received by the county on 7/11/23. The other property was finally taken care of in late Sept 2023.
My frustration is the lack of customer service/communication. I understand small businesses tend to get understaffed or are going through business changes but if my services are paid for and I have to constantly be contacting you for an update and most of the time you don’t respond, then there is something wrong! This tells me this business doesn’t value its clients. Posting this review now in case this will help others determine whether to use her services or not. I also know other small businesses that have used her & have had a similar or worser experience so that tells me I’m not the only one.

Richard is exceptional — a fast worker, a stickler for detail, a legal nerd like no other and supremely practical. I was stuck in a protracted divorce proceeding in which my ex (from a short lived marriage) was insisting on going to trial. Richard talked her and her lawyer off the cliff. In a heroic twist of events, he got them to agree to a reasonable settlement. Acting against his own financial incentives, he saved me tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees. Divorce is a very emotional, expensive journey. You want a strategic thinker who can reduce the pain of it all. That’s Richard. Hire him. You chose the wrong partner. Now choose the right lawyer.

Richard is an excellent attorney. He's very professional, courteous, and responsive. He's also a decent human being, which is not always the case with family law attorneys.
If your case is in San Mateo county, you should consider hiring Richard.

Ms. Cirlin seemed competent at first. My case was not difficult but she neglected to review the details and performed horribly. My (ex) wife hired a savvy attorney and Ms. Cirlin was not in the same league. She failed to anticipate issues and therefore failed in the negotiations. I don't recommend hiring her. I read the reviews and thought she was a good attorney, but after I paid her a lot of money she did nothing for me. If I represented myself I could have done a better job.

My case was a little bit odd to some extend. I have been divorced for over 10 years. Me and my ex wife agreed by signing a contract that she won't collect spousal support since she took everything from the house, and from the sale of the house.
But, she came back demanding spousal support.
I'm so blessed that I found Lauren and her wonderful team. She is an awesome human being apart from an excellent lawyer who is always prepared.
The judge denied my ex wife's request.
I would recommend Lauren to anyone and everyone.

I hired Lauren over a year into my divorce settlement. Things were getting out of control, and my (ex-)wife's lawyers were pulling all kinds of tricks to try and extort me for assets and spousal support. Progress had halted, and was starting to go backwards. A friend of mine recommended Lauren and Viola Law. After just a couple of conversations with Lauren, including some clever strategy and wise guidance, she quickly gave me some tools I needed to navigate the bullshit that I was facing from the other side. Within three weeks, we reached a fair settlement that I was overwhelmingly happy with. Thank you Lauren for your help.

I think Belinda is far better than most.
My only regret / complaint is the efficiency with with work was processed in my four year divorce.
My emails and her replies were frequently copied without my consent to many other lawyers both inside and outside the firm which compounded the billing exponentially. Because my case was complex and outside of her core are of expertise, I was often frustrated.
She gnerally knows her stuff and I feel is ethical.
It is the lower ranks of the small firm that are weak in my opinion.
