Finally got my case closed and they did a wonderful job always answering me questions in a timely manner. Im very pleased with my service with them and would highly recommend using them. I had a bit of issue with high doctor costs, and they made the final settlement negotiations a bit difficult. If you get in an accident, I recommend calling this group asap and asking what doctors they have worked with first to see if you can get recommended good doctors that can help your negotiations go smoother. I loved their text service as well. I would text my case manager all my questions and she would respond in a timely manner. They are also really empathetic, which was helpful when the stress of not knowing was high.

I was told several months ago that it would take three months for the pay out it has now been way over that time and I still have not received anything every call I make to my attorney he never wants to answer and when he does he says he's still waiting for a response from certain appointments which is not true because they all responded already , interesting that attorneys can take a bigger percentage out of the settlement the longer they have it in their hands do not come to mvp accident attorneys!!

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

Beatrice Phan and her legal assistant, Helen Pak, prepared my estate documents (trust, will, POA, etc). The whole process was "painless". I will use them in the future as needed and I recommend them to anyone needing estate legal planning services.

I used Stacy Boyer at The Hills Law firm for divorce proceedings and I was thoroughly impressed. Stacy and her team were extremely knowledgeable, and professional. Anytime I called or emailed them I always received a prompt response. I had some anxiety during the process, and Stacy always made me feel much better after talking with her. If I have any more legal issues I will most certainly be calling Stacy and her team again.

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support and expertise provided by Stacy Boyer at the Hills Law Group. Going through a divorce is not easy, very emotional and is costly, but she made the process as smooth and manageable as possible.
From the very beginning, she showed a deep understanding of my unique situation and provided clear, compassionate guidance. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and relentless dedication to my case gave me immense confidence and peace of mind during this challenging time.
What stood out most was her ability to communicate complex legal matters in a way that was easy to understand. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how small, and kept me informed every step of the way. She made me feel she was always on top of my case. Her strategic approach and thorough preparation were evident in every interaction, ultimately leading to a favorable outcome for me and my two children.
During this mind-boggling process, Stacy provided invaluable emotional guidance, teaching me when to control my emotions and be fact-based, and when to express my feelings. Navigating this balance is not easy AT ALL, but her clarity on when and how to act was instrumental in managing the process, and in the end, getting a favorable outcome for my divorce.
If you are facing the difficult journey of divorce, I highly recommend Stacy. Her exceptional legal expertise, coupled with her genuine care and support, make her the best choice for anyone needing a strong, reliable advocate during such a critical time.
Thank you Stacy for your outstanding work and unwavering commitment to my complex case. You have truly made a positive difference in my life...

Stacy has every quality you’d want in a great lawyer. She’s authentic, compassionate, a great listener and she also tough when necessary. She is incredibly trust worthy and never once made me feel judge, insecure or anxious at all. I would recommend Stacy to anyone needing a family law attorney. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and the one or two times she didn’t have an immediate answer, she did everything she could to get me the appropriate answer to my question. Don’t sleep on Stacy! Retain her.

I am incredibly grateful to the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez and, specifically, to Robert Sulivan for their exceptional support during one of the most challenging times of my life. Rob’s dedication, attention to detail, and understanding of my case were remarkable. He ensured the best outcome for my son and me.
What stood out most was the genuine care and compassion Rob and the team showed throughout the process. One of the meetings, where Robert Sullivan and Cameron Fernandez supported me further by going through a PowerPoint presentation I made detailing the context and concerns of the case, was invaluable. It helped me understand the process better and gave me the confidence to perform effectively in court. Their guidance and expertise were instrumental in achieving success. Robert Sullivan reiterated the questions multiple times to ensure I had enough chances to articulate my concerns in court. Robert Sullivan performed very strongly on my last trial day, which led to the success of my case, addressing the relocation of my minor child.
This team not only provided legal expertise but also offered emotional support during an incredibly stressful time. I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez to anyone needing dedicated and professional family law representation. Thank you for everything!

The team at Buncher Law is excellent. I recently finished a divorce with Sven and they were instrumental in helping me navigate the difficult process. Despite the emotional and financial strain of a divorce, they helped me settle and avoid more legal fees. I'm not sure how I would have made it through without them on my side. I have already referred them to a couple close friends and will continue to do so. They are good people with similar values and that goes a long way. Thank you so much.

I interviewed two attorneys and Sven is the most ethical, polite and trustworthy attorney. I paid for my consultation and became well educated. Should I move forward I know about where I will end up, should I need to pay alimony or collect it, cost of different approaches, but most of all I believe Sven’s Team will remove a lot of anxiety so I can live and be happy.

Going through a divorce was probably one of my life's most liberating moment. It was a difficult transition, but to be able to have the courage to finally do something you know you should have done for a long time. I knew the minute I met Andrew and Elizabeth that it was a match. Andrew was so stern, persuasive, and quick on his feet and Elizabeth is so precise, relatable and attention to detail. They both were very matter of fact, problem solvers, and total geniuses with numbers.
After our first initial consultation, I told them what was going on with my husband at the time's on going affairs and abuse. Without judgement, they sat and listened and gave me comfort in examples of what kind of cases they have scene and how mine was not the worse. I didn't have any children, I was still at a pretty young age, and they asked me: "Do you want to leave him?" and I said yes! Just that first decision was a shift in stepping into my own and choosing happiness over obligation. They were able to file for a divorce and served him the subpoena the day he got back from his "business trip"
They were always on top of everything and when we first started off I was making rookie mistakes like forwarding every threatening email my ex would write me which they could have easily billed me for but they made sure to get me on the phone to advise me how to consolidate and print the emails so I can save some money.
The whole team here are so helpful. If I had a question, I would get a response almost right away, or if they were in court at least a couple hours after. If emails were too long to write out, I would get a phone call so that everything is clear and we know exactly what the action plan is as to next steps. I always felt I was taken care of and that they were on my side and behind me, fighting for what I deserve.
During the last step of mediation, and we sat across from my ex and his lawyer. I could not have been more confident and ready. Every attempt my ex brought up to try to take from me such as my luxury handbags, jewelry, 401k, engagement ring, down payment of our houses, somehow Andrew would find something to rebuttal, and reason him out of it.
Through the whole process, they were thorough, strategic and got me out with more than I could ask for. I am finally a new woman, without a cheating husband and have my own house, car and bank account full of savings I can fall back on singing "You don't own me, I'm not just one of your many toys...". I am now officially divorced, the final paperwork was filed with the court and the minute that happened and I got the email from Andrew and Elizabeth I literally felt 100% exonerated.
I know I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own. All that paperwork, my ex and his many masks, scheming, harassing, manipulating... paying the lawyers to do all the work and not having to deal with being in contact with my ex was worth every penny. It's been 8 months since I filed for divorce, I have seen couples that are still trying to get their spouse to sign 2 years after filing for divorce. I am so relieved it only took us 8 months. Now that it's all over, I can move on to the next chapter of my life.
Thank you Andrew, Elizabeth, Robin and the entire team for being so efficient and supportive during this process. I highly recommend anyone looking for representation to hire Andrew and Elizabeth. You will not regret it!

When it comes to family law attorneys there are many choices out there. I wouldn't trust anyone to handle my personal affairs other than Elizabeth Johnson. She helped me with a family matter and it couldn't have resulted in a better outcome. I am very thankful to her and her partner, Andrew Klausner, for that.
Her professionalism and knowledge are second to none (unfortunately I've worked with several family law attorneys). Not to mention, she is an attorney you can place your trust in as she is just a great person overall. That comes across from the moment that you meet her. I would have no reservations having Elizabeth represent me again or referring her to someone that needs her services. She truly puts her client's best interests first.

Being a mother in a dangerous relationship/living situation was my worst nightmare -- it became my reality as a 21 year old. I was terrified to take legal action against my daughters father, and after speaking with Ms. Johnson (And Mr. Klausner -- @Klausner Johnson LLP) I felt a sense of relief. Elizabeth is direct, compassionate and determined. Her personality was comforting in this horrible time of my life. She took detailed notes whenever I spoke, prepared my papers carefully and made sure I was up to date with each step of the process. I walked away with a Domestic Violence Restraining Order, full legal and physical custody of my daughter and most importantly, I had peace of mind knowing my daughter and I were safe.

If I could give Adam 10 stars, I absolutely would! From the start, he made what is often a daunting process feel approachable and manageable. Adam not only explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, but he also went above and beyond by meeting with me personally several times to review documents and provide updates. His professionalism is unmatched, but what truly sets him apart is how personable and down-to-earth he is. You never feel like just another client—he genuinely cares. My case began in 2019, and thanks to Adam’s dedication and expertise, I finally received my expungement in 2024. I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate by my side!

There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

I am incredibly grateful to the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez and, specifically, to Robert Sulivan for their exceptional support during one of the most challenging times of my life. Rob’s dedication, attention to detail, and understanding of my case were remarkable. He ensured the best outcome for my son and me.
What stood out most was the genuine care and compassion Rob and the team showed throughout the process. One of the meetings, where Robert Sullivan and Cameron Fernandez supported me further by going through a PowerPoint presentation I made detailing the context and concerns of the case, was invaluable. It helped me understand the process better and gave me the confidence to perform effectively in court. Their guidance and expertise were instrumental in achieving success. Robert Sullivan reiterated the questions multiple times to ensure I had enough chances to articulate my concerns in court. Robert Sullivan performed very strongly on my last trial day, which led to the success of my case, addressing the relocation of my minor child.
This team not only provided legal expertise but also offered emotional support during an incredibly stressful time. I wholeheartedly recommend the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez to anyone needing dedicated and professional family law representation. Thank you for everything!

RMD Law is the Best Personal Injury Law Firm around! I was injured in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver. RMD Law got me the highest possible offer from my insurance limits. I signed with RMD Law after speaking with every major law firm in San Diego. I decided to go with RMD Law because John Rajee was so helpful and patient in helping me navigate this challenging process. John was always responsive and there for me every step of the way. It is very important that I enjoy talking to the person I am working with, and I found that to be the case with John. I felt he had my best interests at heart, was genuine, and wanted to help me (tough to find in personal injury law). Chelsie was also extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Many other law firms in my city I spoke to could not be bothered with many questions, but that was not the case with RMD Law, and that's why I chose to go with them. They are extremely professional, and I will highly recommend them to anyone.

It was a tough situation not only did I lose a partner I was also pregnant during my divorce. Mr. Gold was not just an attorney focused on proceedings/agreements, he did so with integrity and empathy, always taking into account who I was as a person and keeping my character intact in all decision-making. It's a very vulnerable and difficult time for me, and easy to lose sight of what is important. It's during these difficult times that character is often tested in many ways - Mr Gold always presented pros and cons of any decision that was ahead, how we wanted to shape it and what was best for me and my unborn child. It was the best decision looking back now. I had my son and moved from Los Angeles to the UK and now working in Singapore. I have covered 3 regions in my career progression and part of what made this possible is the fact that my ex husband showed minimal engagement in the early years of our son's life. I am really fortunate I am connected with Mr Gold, he has shown great interest in how my life turned out...and I believe deep down he's quite proud of how he's played a role in helping to liberate my situation and I have never looked back. Thank you Dan Gold...You are indeed THE BEST !

From my very first interaction with Attorney Wittliff, I immediately sensed how much he genuinely cares about his clients. This was manifested in every encounter I had with him. He never pushed me down one path over the other, and took his time objectively educating me about the risks, benefits, and alternatives to every decision. He pours excellence into his work. He is honest, and displays moral integrity with every interaction. I am very fortunate to have had him guide me through such a difficult situation, and I will forever be grateful for him and his kind and thorough paralegal Ashley.

Jeffrey Witliff is one of the BEST. Kind and compassionate . Prior to retaining him I was able to consult with him and give me my options. From the start he was very transparent on what could happen. He is now my forever family law attorney. He assisted me for a DVRO hearing and trial with my ex fiancé. Mr. Wittliff was able to negatiote and handle the property aspect of my case as well as he is knowledgable about real estate . He is not only experienced but he has clients best interest at heart. Something that stood out to me was his communication and always getting back to me even the same day!
The office staff was friendly and professional. Definitely reccomend hiring this attorney.

What a Child Custody Lawyer Can Do for You
A child custody lawyer specializes in helping parents navigate legal matters related to the custody and care of their children, particularly in the context of divorce, separation, or other family disputes. These lawyers assist with determining custody arrangements, drafting parenting plans, and advocating for your rights in court. They also help resolve disputes over physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes decisions for the child), visitation rights, and modifications to existing custody orders.
Whether you're going through a divorce or need to change an existing custody arrangement, a child custody lawyer can help you understand your rights and protect your child's best interests throughout the legal process.
When Should I Hire a Child Custody Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a child custody lawyer in several situations, especially when disputes arise or complex legal issues affect your parental rights. Some common reasons to hire a child custody lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: If you're going through a divorce or separation and need to establish custody and visitation arrangements, a lawyer can help ensure the custody order reflects your child's best interests.
- Disputed custody cases: If you and the other parent cannot agree on custody or visitation terms, a lawyer can advocate for your rights in court and help you develop a strong case.
- Modification of custody orders: If you need to change an existing custody arrangement due to changes in circumstances (e.g., relocation, changes in the child’s needs), a lawyer can help file a modification request.
- Parental alienation: If the other parent is interfering with your relationship with your child, a lawyer can help address these issues through legal action.
- Domestic violence or abuse: If there is a history of domestic violence or abuse, a lawyer can help protect you and your child by requesting restraining orders and advocating for appropriate custody arrangements.
- Grandparent or third-party custody: If you are a grandparent or another relative seeking custody or visitation rights, a lawyer can guide you through the legal process.
- Paternity disputes: In cases where paternity is in question, a lawyer can assist with establishing or challenging paternity, which may affect custody and visitation rights.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process can help protect your parental rights and ensure that the custody arrangement is in your child's best interests.
What Does a Child Custody Lawyer Do?
A child custody lawyer provides a variety of legal services to help parents resolve custody disputes and secure favorable custody arrangements for their children. Their responsibilities often include:

- Handling child support issues: Assisting with related issues such as child support, ensuring that financial obligations are properly calculated and enforced.

- Flat fee: For simple custody matters or uncontested custody agreements, some lawyers may offer a flat fee for specific services, such as drafting a parenting plan or filing a custody petition.

- Sliding scale or pro bono services: Some lawyers may offer reduced fees or pro bono (free) services for clients with limited financial means, particularly in cases involving domestic violence or other serious issues.
It’s important to discuss fees and payment arrangements with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand how much you will be charged and what services are included.

Top Questions to Ask a Child Custody Lawyer
Before hiring a child custody lawyer, it’s essential to ask the right questions to ensure they are the best fit for your case. Some key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with child custody cases?
Ensure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, especially if your case involves complex issues like domestic violence, relocation, or paternity disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, offers flat fees for certain services, or requires a retainer, and ask for an estimate of the total cost. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline from filing the petition to reaching an agreement or going to trial. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Ensure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
Can we pursue mediation or alternative dispute resolution?
Ask whether the lawyer recommends mediation or other forms of dispute resolution to avoid a lengthy court battle.
How to Check the Credibility of a Child Custody Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable child custody lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and experience:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for family law experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in family law and child custody cases.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge the lawyer’s professionalism and success in child custody matters.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on custody cases.
- Check for certifications: Look for lawyers who are board-certified in family law or have memberships in organizations like the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) or local family law sections.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a child custody lawyer, come prepared with relevant documents and information:
- Court orders or existing custody agreements: Bring copies of any existing custody or visitation orders for the lawyer to review.
- Communication with the other parent: Provide copies of emails, texts, or letters regarding custody, visitation, or disputes.
- List of your child’s needs: Prepare a list of your child’s specific needs, such as medical care, education, and extracurricular activities.
- Timeline of the case: Outline key events related to your custody case, including changes in living situations or parental involvement.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions about the custody process, legal fees, and the lawyer’s strategy for your case.
By being well-prepared, you can help the lawyer assess your situation effectively and receive the best possible advice for protecting your rights and your child’s well-being.
