In November of 2023, my brother passed away. It was the saddest time for my family. We were overwhelmed with grief. My brother did not have a will. We knew we needed legal assistance in sorting out my brother’s estate. In the summer of 2025, I took a chance and emailed the Talbot Law Group and briefly described our situation. I was not expecting an immediate response but Elizabeth Talbot from the firm promptly responded to my inquiry. I had a very pleasant conversation with Elizabeth. She spoke to one of the Partners at the firm on our behalf. Our case was assigned to Emily Nashban. My sister and I met with Emily virtually. Emily understood our situation, explained all the options available to us, answered all our questions and at the same time kept our expectations real. Once Emily took over our case, she meticulously managed all the necessary documents, handled the arrangements with the Probate Referee and all communications with the court, providing us timely updates along the way. She was completely transparent, which was especially important to me.
I found that the Talbot Law Group staff is easy to talk to and extremely professional. Their expertise and in depth knowledge on the matter is evident. I felt confident that they were the best law group to handle our case and to recommend the appropriate option specific to our situation.
Consulting with the Talbot Law Group was the best decision I’ve ever made for my family. They made what seemed to us a complicated situation an easy and smooth process. Not only they helped resolve our issue but they did it in a timely fashion.
I cannot speak highly enough about the Talbot Law Group, especially Emily Nashban, who guided me throughout the entire process and answered my questions no matter how insignificant. I felt the same with Elizabeth Talbot who was always responsive to my additional inquiries. The support we received from the Talbot Law Group is priceless. Their expertise, professionalism, commitment and understanding of our needs are commendable. On behalf of my family, I want to thank the staff of the Talbot Law Group for the extraordinary support they provided us. I highly recommend them!

Jason and his firm was able to receive a very favorable outcome for my case. All charges dismissed. While living in another part of the state he was able to resolve my case remotely without the need for me to be there in person. This alone saved me hundreds in costs. Finally I am done with this case and don't have to worry about jail, probation, or other penalties. Easily my best experience with a lawyer. Thanks Jason!

“I found ORO online. We retained Jason Runckel and he immediately took control of the case. He and his staff kept me updated, calm, and less-stressed given the circumstances of the situation. I was happy with how the case turned out and would recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney.”

Jason Runckel is professional, personable, and an expert in his field. He took on my injury case and negotiated a settlement well beyond any of my expectations. He made himself available and communicated the status of my case often. I would recommend him to anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area in need of a great attorney. Thank you!

I had a really solid experience with Givelle. While she did not provide legal assistance to me, (I was seeking to file suit and she’s a defense attorney), she heard me out and graciously shared what she knows to be next-steps in these types of matters. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a defense attorney because she exudes confidence and speaks with clarity and purpose.

Divorce is anything but a walk in the park, but through the distress, anxiety, and uncertainty around the process, Katie Fox, and her team at Fox & Bank, have done a phenomenal job in allaying any concerns or fears that I had, and helped run mediations between myself and my ex-spouse in a comfortable, fairly low-stress, and overall effective manner. Katie Fox is a consummate professional, and understands fully, the nuances around divorce, and the toll it can take on both partners, and their families. I felt heard and understood, and for that, I am extremely appreciative and grateful of her.

Our family business needed to close down and declare bankruptcy. David Arietta was recommended to us and we found him and his staff to be very professional and communicative during a difficult time for us. They provided clear and concise instructions on completing paperwork, always replied in a timely fashion and represented us successfully in court. We definitely recommend David Arietta 100%.

Proud to say that I just became a US citizen last month thanks to Erika and her team!! 👏🏼👏🏼🥳
My experience having Erika Portillo and her team as my immigration attorney for the past 10 years has been phenomenal! From the very start of my case she has ALWAYS been upfront and honest with me about my case which made the whole process much less stressful for me. Erika will ALWAYS go above and beyond her expertise to help her clients as best as she can!
I was able to petition my mother and she also just became a US Citizen two weeks ago! The only reason why I took the 10 years to apply for our citizenship was because I personally decided to wait until my Green card almost expired to apply for our Citizenship. I know I should have applied sooner but with three young children, my studies, and work, I got so busy in my “mom life” that I didn’t realize how fast time had gone by. The good thing is that as soon as Erika filed both my mother’s and my N-400 application in December, by February we had already received our appointment letter in the mail for our citizenship exam! After passing the exam, we received our Oath ceremony appointment for citizenship in the SF location just three months after! We are so happy and relieved that we no longer have to worry about our immigration status and most importantly that the process was smooth because we didn’t have to stress about receiving bad service or looking around for new attorneys because Erika took good care of us every step of the way. 🙏🏼
I mean this from the bottom of my heart because I’ve heard so many unfortunate situations of how difficult it is for our people to find a good lawyer who doesn’t charge them every time they show up to their office, or charge them tons of dollars upfront to take the case and then they take forever to respond or get a hold of. This is not the case with Erika Portillo!
With that said, I will say that it’s 100% worth your time and money to schedule a consultation with Erika to see if you have a good case. She will not lie to you nor waste your time and money like some attorney tend to. I actually just referred her services to a friend of mine who was asking for an immigration attorney for her brother in law. So I’m confident that if her family takes my referral, they will be in good hands.
*FYI: Both Erika and her front desk receptionists are all Spanish and English speaking so communicating with them and getting answers about your case is very easy as well. They were always ready to assist us with a nice smile on their faces.
What I love the most about having Erika as an immigration attorney is that she continues to educate herself. She stays on top of all the new laws and that’s what allows her to provide such clear and accurate services. I couldn’t imagine her being able to branch off and now having her own team if she wasn’t this great! That speaks volumes! A big congratulations to her again for that because she’s a very hard working woman who deserves such success, respect, and your trust!

Filing Bankruptcy with Attorney Michael Primus is as as smooth as it can get I originally filed with another firm and 18 months later nothing was resolved. I fiired them and hired Michael Primus in October 2024 and by February 18 2025 my bankruptcy is complete. Mr Primus is very very professional and personable. From our first conversation I felt relaxed and learned more about bankruptcy in one conversation then I did in 18 months with that other firm. I HIGHLY recommend the Law office of Michael J Primus.

I had an outstanding experience working with Mr. Primus during a difficult time in my life. From our very first consultation, he made the entire bankruptcy process easy to understand and stress-free. His professionalism, expertise, and clear communication kept me at ease every step of the way. He answered all my questions promptly and was always available to provide guidance. Thanks to his hard work, I am now on my way to a fresh financial start. I highly recommend Mr. Primus to anyone seeking trustworthy and compassionate legal assistance!

I worked with Alyona for my naturalization application as well as the application to remove the condition on my green card. I really appreciated and valued her support and professional guidance throughout the whole process. She’s extremely knowledgeable and available to address any questions that may come up. I highly recommend her and would work with her again.

Alyona was great to work with. Very clear communication, pricing and services. To top it off, she's really friendly and has a great energy - no austere lawyer vibes. She can work with you in person or remotely (I was in a different state and it was still super smooth).
Came recommended by a friend and will in turn recommend to mine!

In November of 2023, my brother passed away. It was the saddest time for my family. We were overwhelmed with grief. My brother did not have a will. We knew we needed legal assistance in sorting out my brother’s estate. In the summer of 2025, I took a chance and emailed the Talbot Law Group and briefly described our situation. I was not expecting an immediate response but Elizabeth Talbot from the firm promptly responded to my inquiry. I had a very pleasant conversation with Elizabeth. She spoke to one of the Partners at the firm on our behalf. Our case was assigned to Emily Nashban. My sister and I met with Emily virtually. Emily understood our situation, explained all the options available to us, answered all our questions and at the same time kept our expectations real. Once Emily took over our case, she meticulously managed all the necessary documents, handled the arrangements with the Probate Referee and all communications with the court, providing us timely updates along the way. She was completely transparent, which was especially important to me.
I found that the Talbot Law Group staff is easy to talk to and extremely professional. Their expertise and in depth knowledge on the matter is evident. I felt confident that they were the best law group to handle our case and to recommend the appropriate option specific to our situation.
Consulting with the Talbot Law Group was the best decision I’ve ever made for my family. They made what seemed to us a complicated situation an easy and smooth process. Not only they helped resolve our issue but they did it in a timely fashion.
I cannot speak highly enough about the Talbot Law Group, especially Emily Nashban, who guided me throughout the entire process and answered my questions no matter how insignificant. I felt the same with Elizabeth Talbot who was always responsive to my additional inquiries. The support we received from the Talbot Law Group is priceless.

In November of 2023, my brother passed away. It was the saddest time for my family. We were overwhelmed with grief. My brother did not have a will. We knew we needed legal assistance in sorting out my brother’s estate. In the summer of 2025, I took a chance and emailed the Talbot Law Group and briefly described our situation. I was not expecting an immediate response but Elizabeth Talbot from the firm promptly responded to my inquiry. I had a very pleasant conversation with Elizabeth. She spoke to one of the Partners at the firm on our behalf. Our case was assigned to Emily Nashban. My sister and I met with Emily virtually. Emily understood our situation, explained all the options available to us, answered all our questions and at the same time kept our expectations real. Once Emily took over our case, she meticulously managed all the necessary documents, handled the arrangements with the Probate Referee and all communications with the court, providing us timely updates along the way. She was completely transparent, which was especially important to me.
I found that the Talbot Law Group staff is easy to talk to and extremely professional. Their expertise and in depth knowledge on the matter is evident. I felt confident that they were the best law group to handle our case and to recommend the appropriate option specific to our situation.
Consulting with the Talbot Law Group was the best decision I’ve ever made for my family. They made what seemed to us a complicated situation an easy and smooth process. Not only they helped resolve our issue but they did it in a timely fashion.
I cannot speak highly enough about the Talbot Law Group, especially Emily Nashban, who guided me throughout the entire process and answered my questions no matter how insignificant. I felt the same with Elizabeth Talbot who was always responsive to my additional inquiries. The support we received from the Talbot Law Group is priceless. Their expertise, professionalism, commitment and understanding of our needs are commendable. On behalf of my family, I want to thank the staff of the Talbot Law Group for the extraordinary support they provided us. I highly recommend them!

Lifesaver in the Legal Maze: A Review for Candelaria PC Law Office in Walnut Creek, CA
For years, I had been locked in a relentless battle with my divorce, struggling to find a way out of the turmoil that had consumed me since 2019. My ex was uncooperative, the financial strain was overwhelming, and the emotional toll was staggering. Then, amidst the chaos, I found Candelaria PC and met Attorney Alice P. Cheng.
From the outset, it was clear that they understood the gravity of my situation. Despite my financial hardships, they welcomed me with empathy and support, ensuring that money would not stand in the way of my freedom. Their understanding and assistance with my financial problems were a beacon of hope in my darkest days.
But it was their unwavering dedication to my case that truly set them apart. Taking over all actions on my behalf, they shielded me from the constant strife of dealing with my ex directly. Their adept handling of the legal proceedings meant that I no longer had to endure the agony of court dates, sparing me further anguish.
Even though I lived in a different state, Attorney Cheng and Candelaria PC remained steadfast in their commitment to my case. Despite the logistical challenges, they navigated the complexities of divorce proceedings in California with ease, ensuring that distance was never a barrier to justice.
Beneath their expert guidance, the seemingly endless ordeal finally came to an end. In just a few months, they achieved what I had struggled to accomplish on my own: a successful divorce. As the new year approached, I found myself liberated from the chains that had bound me for so long.
To say that I am grateful, happy, and blessed feels like an understatement. Attorney Cheng and Candelaria PC not only provided me with legal expertise but also with compassion and support during one of the darkest periods of my life. Their dedication and perseverance were a beacon of hope in my darkest days.
If you find yourself battling a divorce, I wholeheartedly recommend Candelaria PC Law Office. They are not just lawyers; they are champions of justice and guardians of hope. With them by your side, you can navigate even the most daunting legal challenges with confidence and dignity.

Hands down the best thing that ever happened to me, was having Candelaria Law represent me.
Especially Mariam & Alice. They are truly amazing at what they do! They care about their clients. Mariam worked hard on my case & represented me in a way I couldn’t, she always made sure to get every last detail & was very thorough. If I had any questions Mariam made sure give me an answer & if she wasn’t sure, she would ask Alice & I don’t think there was anything Alice couldn’t answer. Danya, she always had things uploaded online, made sure to touch bases with me to tell me when my court appearances were & if there was something they needed on my end!
They are phenomenal team, extremely responsive (they don’t leave you in the dark) & they FIGHT for their clients!
They are the reason I have full legal & physical custody after a year long battle alone, it took them2 months to get my baby back!! I wouldn’t choose another team to handle my legal battles! I would choose them over & over again!!
Thank you Mariam, Alice & Danya you helped me get my missing piece !! I forever owe you thanks and have gratitude 🤍🫶🏼
