I spoke to John David Hart on the phone today about a minor injury I sustained. He kindly made me aware that his office doesn't handle such cases, and that his firm work different and more specific types of cases. Despite this, he spent 20 minutes on the phone with me to help me with a plan of action with the necessary steps I should take. He also gave specific referrals for law offices that handle matters like my case. He was extremely understanding, patient and genuinely cared about a good outcome for myself. All as part of a free consult. I'm not experienced with dealing in the law and he made the entire experience very comfortable for me and I felt like I had a mentor helping me. And I wasn't even his client! lol I can only imagine the level of service he would provide to those who take him as a counselor. Thanks John.

John David Hart demonstrates exceptional professionalism and dedication. It is uncommon for attorneys to make an extra effort to provide assistance in matters that do not directly pertain to their area of specialization. I contacted him with inquiries regarding my father's will and my rights as his daughter. He went above and beyond to support me and also referred me to the appropriate type of attorney. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking legal counsel.

Nina's strong business knowledge makes her easy to work with - she understands small businesses, in addition to law. I also appreciate that her advice on contracts is always focused on making the deal work, and on staying out of court. The overall result is she provides very cost-effective legal advice.

I've known Nina for more than the 30 years she has been practicing in California. She has always directly handled people I've referred to her or recommended other, better suited lawyers. She is honest in her opinions, capable beyond question in her field, and fair in her dealings with clients and adversaries. She is my go-to lawyer in CA.
If you want a lawyer who keeps your best interests at the fore, then Nina is the person to hire.

I engaged Alan to help me through the complexities of obtaining my Lenders License.
He was very knowledgeable about the process and provided me with a high level of service.
I worked quickly getting him all the information needed and he worked at my pace.
He was responsive to e-mails and questions and follwed up with the DFPI to make sure everything was filed correctly.
I had read online that this process could take as long as 6 months however Alan completed the assignment in less than 3
I will be retaining his services in the future to ensure my company remains in compliance.

I came to Mr. Carters office and he had me explain what happened, how we got here, and what’s next etc. He was able to keep me ahead of the ball on some situations and helped me to progress in the process with no hang ups. With his many years as a defense attorney, he has a heavy reputation and everyone knows him and he knows everyone. Lastly, the element I take away is that each visit he had some insightful wisdom and a lesson to be learned for what had been done.

Mr Carter handled our DWI case with the utmost professionalism and really cared about the outcome. He and his staff kept my son updated and on track for completing milestones and this was all during 20-21 debacle. Our family can’t thank him and his staff enough for helping us through it all.

Mr. Carter was referred to me from a good friend who I've known for a while and it was by far the best referral I could ever have gotten. Don fought for me as if he was my own father. He got me more than I would have ever expected. I've dealt with many lawyers in past and most of them were trash even after paying them good money. Don has been at this business a long time and it shows in the courtroom. He gets much respect from the judges and prosecutors and trust me that goes a long ways. If your in need of a good lawyer who will fight for you and is not all about money then look no further than Mr. Carter and his assistant Celia! I couldn't be more happy with the results.

When the roofs at my apartment property were damaged in a hail storm, my insurance company told me the repair costs were less than my deductible, and denied my claim. I called Victor Huhem to assist me. Within a few months, the insurance company paid me over $100,000 to fix the roofs. I'd recommend Victor to anyone in need of an attorney. He's professional, honest, and very good!

Mr. Mitchell has represented our company in several civil cases and insurance coverage disputes over the last 25 years. He has been instrumental in very successful outcomes. He is always a strong advocate for us as his client and his work ethic is second to none. He leaves no stone unturned and gives honest, accurate assessments of each individual case. He takes great pride in knowing his client and works tenaciously for us in each and every case. He is an absolute professional!

I had an extremely disappointing and frustrating experience with Hampton Law Firm, particularly with the conduct of attorney Rebecca. Throughout the duration of my case, I felt that my concerns and interests were consistently disregarded, and I was pressured into making decisions that were not in my best interest. Most notably, Rebecca pushed me into accepting a charge that I did not believe was justified or in line with the circumstances of my case. Despite my reservations and clear desire for a different approach, she strongly encouraged me to take the charge, citing vague and unconvincing reasons. Her demeanor was dismissive of my questions and concerns, and I felt that my rights and options were not fully explained to me. The entire experience was incredibly disheartening, as I trusted the firm to represent me fairly and competently, only to find myself coerced into an outcome I felt was neither necessary nor appropriate. This lack of transparency and professional integrity has left me deeply dissatisfied with both the firm and its representation, as I was forced to accept a charge that I was being falsely accused of. She did NOTHING to try to dismiss the charge. When I was in front of the Judge he even looked at me Like was I sure I wanted to accept the charge. Rebecca told me I would take a charge I didn't commit. I ended up spending over $10,000 on attorney fees. Do Not go to this lawfirm. They will NOT represent you, they will just drain your wallets. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE. Rebecca was HORRIBLE

Not only was Phillip patient with me throughout the whole process, he was honest, professional, and most importantly with me every step of the way. By the time everything was said and done, my case turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Phillip will work hard for you, takes your case personally, and doesn’t give up! Anyone seeking legal help needs to contact Phillip Hall immediately!!!

When you get dragged into a family law case, I promise you that it is going to be one of the most stressful and devastating times of your life. You will be emotionally drained, financially drained, and mentally drained the entire time you endure your case.
Coming from someone who was dragged into a custody battle, please heed the following advice:
FIND YOURSELF A FAMILY LAW ATTORNEY WHO IS A STRONG LITIGATOR.
You may be tempted to hire your next attorney based off of their firm’s advertisements. I’m sure you have seen the firms that advertise they are the “the father’s rights firm,” or they “exclusively practice family law.” As reassuring as these marketing claims may sound, their extensive knowledge of the law should not be the selling point for you. It needs to be their extensive knowledge of the law AND LITIGATION that convinces you to pull out your wallet and retain them.
There are a lot of family law attorneys who know the law, but they are NOT strong litigators. Trust me because I had to pay for TWO lawyers who fell into this category and I was getting beat up without mercy in court. I literally had a meltdown because I was getting beat up in court so much with one of the other attorneys that I genuinely felt like I was going to lose my child.
I finally got wise, dumped my previous attorney, and hired my next lawyer from Justice Law Firm.
Anyone can know how the rules of a particular game work on paper, but that doesn’t mean that they know how to move and work their opponent on the court.
A LITIGATING attorney knows how the rules work on paper, but more importantly, they know how to move and work your opponent (opposing party) on the court.
You need a strong litigator because the family court is a place where lies abound. Expect everyone to lie about everything and if you have a strong, litigating attorney, he or she is going to easily expose just how much the opposing party is lying.
Had I not retained Justice Law Firm, a boutique family law firm with LITIGATING attorneys, most of the lies that the opposing party was trying to tell would have made into the court room and I could have potentially paid three times as much money fighting in court as I did.
My particular attorney, Marshall Jacobini, is a very strong litigator! In court, Marshall shut down the opposing party’s lies all throughout her testimony and during cross-examination.
His litigation style is structured, calm, collected, and focused, but irritatingly persistent. This litigation style made the opposing party reveal her aggressive, combative, and manipulative nature in front of the judge.
Marshall Jacobini is a very perceptive strategist. He is a lethal combination for the opposing party because of his legal knowledge, litigation style, and his candidness in telling you (his client) the truth about your shortcomings and strengths. He does a great job at communicating with you and framing your expectations in court so you can come out of this war with the least amount of damage and scarring as possible.
He knows how to read a court room and work his legal arguments accordingly to strategically give you the best possible outcome given your particular circumstance.
More impressively, he came in and cleaned up in 3 days what my former attorney from another prestigious law firm in the area had messed up for five months.
He caught a number of errors in my suit that my former attorney had overlooked. The result was that Marshall got my case dismissed.
Marshall Jacobini, Tracey Justice, and the rest of the staff at Justice Law Firm stopped the bleeding for me. They stopped the mental, emotional, and financial bleeding. For that, I will forever be their biggest advocates. You can and should trust this team with the future of your family because I assure you, they will fight for you like you are a part of theirs!

I was in serious need of new counsel after my very unreliable lawyer withdrew from my case right before final trial. Mr. Jacobini took the time to guide me through the process to handle the situation as best I could literally days before my final custody hearing. I can't express how helpful he was in informing me of my options and steps required to take action and calm my fears, all this just during an extended consultation. In a sea of sharks here is a solid stand up reliable fella who will have your back and truly represent your best interests and if my motion for continuance goes through in court you can bet I'm going to try like hell to hire him.

I met with Mr. McBride as well as spoke to him on the phone 6 months later as a follow up. At no time did he discuss pay, he was more concerned with making sure that I understood what my options were and then recommended other attorney's when my needs were different than what he practices. Who does that these days? Mr. McBride does because he cares about people in need.

I feel lucky to have Dori represent me during my case. She led me through a very emotional and unexpected child custody issue. Dori was very attentive, knowledgeable, and honest. I set my expectations in the beginning and Dori developed a plan. She provided me with regular updates on my case and was always available to answer my questions. No matter what crazy actions or requests were made by the opposing attorney, Dori knew exactly how to handle the situation. She took the time to explain every motion or request before it was filed. Her professionalism and composure were key in exceeding my expectations for this case. I would highly recommend Dori’s services.

We adopted our daughter from Ethiopia and hired Mrs. Boone-Costantino as our attorney for the re-adoption in Texas. I met her many years before when she was working while in law school and was our wedding photographer. I knew from that experience that she had great attention to detail and was very professional. I had every confidence in seeking her help with our daughter's adoption in Texas. I assumed the international part of the adoption would have made the process a bit more complicated...maybe it did, but she never let us feel that. Stress was last thing we needed as new parents only home six months with a toddler. She was very organized and clear in her communications with me regarding all the required documents and forms. Without much notice, my father-in-law flew in for a visit (from out of the country), and she was able to get us a court date so that he could attend. The re-adoption was of course emotional for us, but also for our attorney. (How many people can say that?) She was there when our lives began together and again for the adoption of our first child. (I did apologize for making her teary-eyed in front of the judge). Especially in matters of family law, I think it is important to have someone working with you who really cares. She is a very bright, capable and compassionate person, whom I highly recommend.

To be honest, I hated every step of my divorce but will never regret my decision to hire Leslie Burgoyne. My ex-husband and I were entering into a nasty child custody battle together and our situation was very complicated. Not only was Leslie upfront, honest, diligent, and thorough, she was extremely knowledgeable in our particular situation. That alone was invaluable. Divorces are difficult enough alone but with the added complications, Leslie represented my case quite well and helped me win. Leslie's rates are very affordable. A great affordable attorney is one of a kind. I would very much recommend her services to anyone.
