In 2018 I got a DUI, and while other attorneys didn't want to take my case because it was challenging. Mayda took my case and was very honest with me, which is something I valued and appreciated. My case was very challenging because I got into a big accident. Mayda fought my case in court and was able to drop the charges. I am forever grateful for her hard work and expertise. I 100% recommend her and her entire team at Confianza Legal.

Attorney Shapiro is an excellent attorney. He will fight for you to the very end. He was the only attorney that finally won my Social Security Disability benefits for me, after a very long 10 year fight with Social Security. Without the help of Attorney Shapiro, I would still be without my truly deserved benefits. So if you need a thorough and hard working attorney, give Attorney Shapiro a call immediately. I am sure that you won't be disappointed.

Hector is an excellent Probate Attorney. As a Real Estate agent that focus on helping families that go through this process and work with different attorneys and their staff in this field, Hector and his team are amazing. They had made the process easier for my clients to navigate, keeping them inform of the process, is in constant communication with the families and with the parties involved in the transaction, so the clients don't feel lost and have no clue of where they are in the process. Will definitely continue recommending clients to him.

Back in 2014-15 Jacobs' Law office helped me submit the paperwork for my citizenship and accompanied me to the interview.
They treated me respectfully and the fees are reasonable.

Where do I start? My parents insisted on getting a consultation with this “attorney” due to being referred by a friend. The consultation was a joke to say the least. He truly is only in it for the money and provides contradicting information.
He advised my father to apply for asylum despite him being in this country for 20+ years solely based on his deportation back when he was 17 years old.
He didn’t care to listen to any other details and went as far as stating that my mom lost her rights to getting residency when she married my dad. Little did he know that my mom had already obtained her residency due to being petitioned by me (her daughter) and by filing with 245e. As soon as he mentioned that I knew he was a fraud.
He then processed to say that asylum is his only chance due to the law the was approved by Biden.
Don’t get me started with his rates. His charges $7k for his fees only not including immigration fees with a monthly payment of $500 a month.
Our attorney Ronzio has successfully helped several of our family members with residency, conditional residency and citizenship.
Residency was $7k with immigration fees included with a small monthly payment of $250.
I’m so glad I was there to help my parents because attorneys like him tend to prey on vulnerable individuals that think that’s the best they can get. So glad we didn’t allow him to scam us.

After having difficulty finding an attorney. I contacted Dixon & Daley and spoke with Kaitlin.
After explaining my situation, without hesitation she agreed to help me.
I am truly at a loss of words to express my gratitude and thankfulness for everything that Kaitlin did for me.
As an attorney she was very knowledgeable in my Workmen’s Comp. situation. She helped me through every step of the way.
It was really an effort less situation for me, because Kaitlin took care of everything for me.
I simply needed to just focus on the injuries that I suffered and getting well.
She was always there for every question that I had, she always responded to me in a very timely manner.
She showed compassion towards me and of course professionalism..
I truly cannot thank Kaitlin enough for all that she did for me during this time.
I would recommend Kaitlin 100% to anyone that needs a Workmen’s Comp. attorney. You will not be disappointed.
I would also like to think her assistant Josie. Josie was such a wonderful help as well. Every time I spoke with her she was kind, compassionate, and very helpful.
“I want to say thank you Josie as well for all your help and kindness.”

I am definitely unsatisfied with the service I received as Paul Dixon's client in a workers' compensation case. Ultimately I became so unhappy with the level of service I was receiving that I elected to change attorneys, and had a dramatically better experience with another office.
Some details are below for those who want to read further. Bottom line: it was clear to me this is a volume office, and your case may well be left at the "bottom of the stack."
I suggest you look elsewhere.
Some Specifics:
(1) There was a lack of follow-up in communication with other parties involved. This was a constant, and my case was repeatedly allowed to sit waiting longer than was necessary, sometimes by weeks on end. In these instances, it was only when I started calling myself to check status and request action that the process was moved forward.
(2) Poor customer service. Several issues here:
(a) When attempting to get advice over the phone, it was at times difficult to get contact directly with the attorney. Further, when I did have a conversation, it was rushed and the attorney was clearly trying to spend as little time as possible with me before moving on to his next issue. To be fair, this did not occur every time, but was a repeat issue.
(b) I was not notified in advance that a different attorney at the office would be handling my deposition. I can understand the decision to have another attorney at the office handle that part of the process, however to walk into a situation like that unaware was unacceptable to me.
This introduced questions in my mind immediately before a deposition about whether this other attorney was briefed on my case, who I was actually represented by, etc. Although the other attorney did the job well enough, being caught off guard with that scenario introduced more stress into an already unpleasant situation.
This could have been avoided with a simple email notification in advance - something I'd expect in even basic business communications, let alone in a legal matter.
(c) Inappropriate attitude on the part of some staff. The paralegal handling my case had a customer service attitude I'll describe gently as REALLY short of the mark for a professional office. As time wore on and it was necessary to follow up with this office repeatedly, her attitude worsened, eventually becoming outright rude.
(3) A filing mistake made by this office immediately before I changed representation opened the door for opposition to string the case out even longer, which they of course did. This added another couple of months to an already drawn-out case.
In other instances when I've had legal representation (including the office I
changed to after leaving Dixon & Daley), that representation was professional &
courteous, stayed on top of every deadline and process point, and made sure I was fully informed every step of the way. This was absolutely NOT the case with Dixon & Daley, and for my part I suggest you look elsewhere.
-- Best of luck

Mr. Beckman misplaced my papers and spoke to me like I was an idiot. My experience with Mr. Beckman leads me to believe that he places himself above his clients and has little respect for women.

Mr. Joel James Beckman, Family Law Attorney, Santa Fe Springs, California. I retained him for my divorce. At first he begged me to take my case. I did not want to hire him, but he begged me to hire him, so i did. I gave him a retainer. Well, he would cuss me out in his office on certain issues. He was totally unprofessional and I am the paying client. He told me he was going to help immensely. So I retained him and gave him a retainer. The balance of the bill he was going to lien my house Well, when the real estate market fell, he quit my case. I would meet with this individual in his office and he would cuss me out. I mean really vulgar language and i am the paying client. I went to jail on a restraining order. I called him from jail and he cussed me out up and down. I am paying this individual for his services and this is the way he treats me. I ended up firing him. I do not recommend this lawyer at all. He lacks professionalism and he reneges on written agreements and on top of that he cusses me out. He has no business being a Family Law Attorney. I would fire him again and again. I do not recommend anyone hiring this lawyer. I truly believe that he violated the law by signing a contract that he would lien my house for the remainder of his lawyers fees. Is this the kind of lawyer you want to hire?

She rescheduled my deposition without notifying me. I found out when I showed up. She pressured me into taking a low settlement because she thought that's all that we could have been gotten. She didn't even suggest asking for more. She was very negative about the situation. I have a lot of regrets. If I could do it again I would not take her advice. I know nothing about law and took her word for it. Now I know better.

i contacted this company as i had a problem with a medical product. And they list medical malpractice & problems with products under there legal services provided
I know i have a good case, as I have done all my research . And hundreds of other people have filed recently with the same situation.
A woman name Maria called me back. If rudeness was a person..she's it!
Right from the start she was telling me the myriad of reasons 'why i didn't have a case'. She asked questions, then didn't listen to the answers. Instead reassuring me that no matter what the situation i didn't have a case because of ...the hospital i attended, how long ago i had the surgery (i had it 2 months ago folks!! one has 2 years to file a case) and that j'her'attorneys don't handle medical product problems. I Did point out that both of these service are listed on the attorneys profile on Avvo & this is why i contacted them. She told me to "find an attorney who handled medical product issues". I reminded her this was listed on 'her' attorneys CV. "Well, he's never done a case like this before. And Ive been here 30 years".
Then why list a service 'you have never done in 30years". Oh my!
She was negative rude & disrespectful from start to finish.
I did ask for an attorney to call me back. Of course none ever did.
Do yourselves a favor folks...if u need a medical malpractice attorney, or a lawyer to file a case for you when a medical device causes you serious health problems..LOOK ELSEWHERE!!
