I have been working with Family Law Attorney, Tali Collins, for 2 years, and she is by far the best attorney that I have worked with for ongoing family law litigation. She is very approachable, knows her legal material, is detail- orientated, has an amazing memory, knows lots of helpful resources and her fees are very reasonable. I have worked with many attorneys who have similar skills, but want you to hire them and are not great with working with the client that wants to self represent. Because I don't have the financial resources for a retainer, Ms. Collins has worked with me in preparing legal documents, preparing for hearings, and organizing and finding exhibits. She knows what individual judges want, so I feel like I am ahead of the game and know what to expect and how to prepare when I go to the hearing. Recently, Tali Collins helped me prepare for my latest Parenting Time Modification Hearing and I feel more prepared than I did when I hired an attorney to represent me at the last one, and it saved me thousands of dollars. Ms. Collins knows all aspects of family law and I don't think I could have worked with anyone who could prepare me as much as she has. I am so grateful that I found Ms. Collins, she has been an immense resource for me and has been so "spot on" with helping me in past hearings and litigation. This has been a great fit for me, and I even look forward to meeting with her. Ms. Collins is so motivating, knowledgeable and understanding, that when I walk away from meetings with her, I feel supported, empowered, recharged and ready to tackle my legal battles. Family law litigation is emotional, scary and overwhelming, but having a great family law attorney makes it so much more manageable.

Colin is so much more than just a "Family Law Lawyer". He is an extremely kind and empathetic human being. He said my situation was "unique" but because of his knowledge of the law he was able to help me and my son. He is honest and explained everything in a way I completely understood. I was never left with the feeling of anything but complete understanding. I knew exactly what was happening and why and what to expect next. Never a moment spent wishing i would have asked him something, except maybe how was his day going............... I will, without a doubt, never forget everything he has done and all the knowledge he has shared to make this nightmare become just another part of my journey through life.

She was thorough, prepared and upfront with me about what to expect, how she could help and the range of outcomes I could expect. She provided me with vigorous representation without being unnecessarily confrontational, which made a huge difference.

I have used Vincent Matioli’s law service on a couple occasions. The first time was when I found myself in a pickle. I attempted to waffle my way through it alone because I didn’t think I could afford an attorney. Finding Vince was a god send. Not only did he get my DUI charge dropped he made the process painless. Between his experience, availability, knowledgeable paralegal, and flexibility with payments I was able to move on and get past this unfortunate event rather smoothly. The second time I contacted Vince was for some legal advice pertaining to my Sisters divorce. He was able to help me understand how the process went which in turn helped put my mind at ease that my sisters lawyer was doing his job. Vince is truly a caring lawyer which I didn’t think existed. If you need any legal assistance don’t waste your time trying to figure it out yourself or with some expensive big name law firm. Contact Vince you won’t be disappointed.

I am the owner of a large business so hiring lawyers is something I have had to do as part of the job many times. Here is why I give Melanie 5 stars: *She was referred by an attorney that knew her by being her opposition in a hotly contested case and he had a lot of great things to say (and I trust him, completely, as he is my friend) *She screened me as the client and not the other way around, although she encourged hat. She won't take the client hat can pay her but only the client that has a real case she is willing to sign her name on. She is not free, don't get me wrong, but she's more than fair in her rates. *She is up front about costs and risks - it's the firs thing she explains. Unlike almost everyone else, there was never "I'm getting you paid" or someing equally ridiculous. It was "I can't gaurantee anything in this business, no matter how correct you are legally or facually" - what? Honesty? *She is aggressive as can be, but professional - I am not embarassed by an over-the-top crazy person, but I am proud of the fact that she is no taking anyone's crap *She is not afraid to sue and will do what she says she will in her leters to the other lawyer (it really is not a threat - it is what is coming if there is not a resolution) *She litigates cases as fast as possible, doesn't take BS from anyone, and remains ethical no mater what - she tells her cliens (me, at least and she said everyone - I of course believe her) that she will not ever pursue a case to the point of crossing lines she is not 100% proud of, as in, no loss of integrity and unethical activity is not up for discussion *Dirty lawyers make her sick - she will fight them and be mad with you! She is genuinely PO'd when she calls to tell you what was filed for no reason or bad reasons like billing the file *She is in favor of the fastest resolution - she encouraged setlement at every step and encouraged me when appropriate - she is not in it to bill the file and does not bill in the shower *Nobody working with her is any different - her partner is her husband and they are high school sweethearts. Silly as it sounds, they are as good as it gets by way of "good people' and they have an adorable family you will get to know if you hang around long enough or simple talk with her or her husband, Justin *Remeber the saying "good things come in small packages" - small firm, small lady (she's not exactly the tallest one in the room, lol), but not at all small work - impressive is an understatement! *She knows the HOA community well - the regulars know her and her firm, and they don't want to mess with her unless they think they can win - insurance defense is anoher story, as that means the atorney can bill and bill and bill until someone in the big insurance company finally notices and then like magic it's time to setle! Melanie predicted this like a psychic, although she's not- she's just been there many, many times. *Ingelligence. I don't mean run of the mill smart but really, really sharp! *Ethical yet aggressive as I could have hoped for. IF you don't think this firm is strong enough for you, then you want the dirty attorney and not the one that acts professionally and follows ethical rules all attorneys are supposed to follow *Economical. NO billing in the shower or anywhere near it! Fair billing at fair rates. You do get what you pay for, but you actually get a bit more here. If you go to the lower rate lawyer, you will likely have an ambulance chaser type of person. is a fair billing that is lower than most and what you pay for...much lower and you get the ambulance chaser *I would refer this firm and specifically Melanie to my kids - that is how happy I am.

From the moment I spoke with Corey, he put my mind at ease. During his representation, he was compassionate and thorough and took a huge burden off of my already full plate.

Charles "Tony" Piccuta is a very personable, diligent and highly skilled attorney. He's a good listener and communicator: always keeps me updated about my case, educates me during the most difficult times of my life, and strives to serves my interest (a legal professional myself, I am aware that good lawyers perceive the legal industry as a business, yet the best ones view it as helping profession). Tony is a knowledgeable and tenacious attorney (admitted to practice law in four different states, a very rare scenario, which enabled him to see personal injury or Tort Law from different perspectives. Each state in the United States has its own personal injury laws and familiarity with two or more states' tort laws means a broader grasp of personal injury law and practice). Before contacting Tony I did a very thorough research to find the BEST counsel (considered depth of experience in courtroom, past litigation success and professionalism); I noticed all the attributes of a great lawyer and didn't hesitate to hire him. Simply put, Tony is the Best and I highly recommend him!

I couldn’t be happier with the outcome of my PI case. Unfortunately I ended up rear ended by someone texting on the freeway. I had no idea what to do once I left the hospital. Rayven and Anthony walked me through the whole process. Rayven ensured I received the proper care, including arranging for most of my recovery specialist to come to my home. I never felt I was left in the dark and always felt their main concern was ensuring I was feeling better. Once I recovered they fought hard to get me the best result. Hopefully I never need them again, but I would fully recommend them to anyone in an accident.

Not only would I refer this attorney and his office to other but I have… to at least 8 other people. Through my experience, I was well informed, kept up to date, my concerns were addressed, issues were promptly taken care of and best of all… I was educated! My insurance company initially tried to patch my home from scraps in order to save themselves money. Their actions wore not only a breach in the policy agreement but downright wrong. The whole reason we have and are legally obligated to carry insurance is so that when things like this happen, they are there to help, and not try to squeeze by with the least amount of cost as possible. Going through my claim with Mr. Dieker and his staff was the equivalent of going from initially total despair to confidently knowing that everything would be fine and just, in due time. I would highly recommend them for anyone going or starting the claim process. Call them as soon as possible, before you get talked into something that will cost you tens of thousands by the insurance company without you even knowing. A simple conversation could save you time, headache and untold amounts of stress. I have told Mr. Dieker and his staff to have anyone who wants to know more contact me directly as a past client, as I am more than happy to share my experience.

Mr. Page helped me to settle my car accident claim against two very difficult insurance companies. It was a long process due to its complication, but Mr. Page walked me through the whole process. At one point, he told me if this were going to the court, he would still stick to our original engagement letter (you know most attorneys charge differently for the trial) just because he could not stand what the insurance company was trying to do on my claim. Fortunately, my case got satisfactorily settled without going to the court. I think he probably should have retired by now, but I would highly recommend him because he knows what he does and more importantly, he has the ethics that are the key to everything.

I met with Rachel to discuss "doing something". I kept hearing that I need a trust. I wasn't sure what that was, or what I should be doing. I met with Rachel and it was great. She is young, extremely sharp and easy to talk to. After going though my financial information and determining what I wanted to do with my "estate" (or lack thereof) Rachel gave me two options. We created a chart, so I could see the pros/cons of each option. I was pleasantly surprised when she encouraged me to take advantage of the lesser-priced option. She wasn't high pressured or salesy. She encouraged me to go home and think about everything discussed before making a decision. I went home and thought... and I emailed her some questions over the weekend. She responded to my emails over the weekend and even offered a follow up phone call. She doesn't bill for every little thing. Not for the emails, not for the phone call. I just paid one fee for everything. When I made my decision, she had everything prepared in a week and reviewed everything with me before I signed my documents. Rachel was fantastic!

Deedra has represented my company for several years in various compliance and protection issues. I have found her to be easy to deal with and straight-forward in her approach. I like that she always tries to use flat-rate billing - I never feel like she is trying to stretch out the time it takes to complete what I need to get more money and I never feel like she is trying to sell me something I do not need.
