Ana helped my friend Victor with his case. She is so professional, kind hearted, loyal, hard working, consistent, considerate, and compassionate. She truly believes in justice. She has changed his life for the better. Ana, this was your God given assignment. You are a one of a kind. A BEAST in the courtroom and I say that in the most sincere way! Ana takes her time, is very thorough and thoughtful and she stops and nothing to give you what you truly deserve! May God ALWAYS be with you Ana.

Loghmana Law Firm is top-notch. I was in a car accident in August of 2023 and even though it took almost 14 months for my case to settle, patience paid off and I received a satisfactory settlement. If you are in any kind of accident, this would be a law firm to seek help from.

Mr. Jim Bulger was excellent. He was always very professional, helpful and knowledgeable. He kept his word on EVERYTHING. He also helped us reach a settlement. Not only did he help us reach settlement, but he made sure we got the maximum settlement possible. I have great confidence and trust in him and this law firm as a whole, as they diligently fought for me. There is no way I can possibly show all my gratitude to This firm for all they’ve done to for my mother and I. If you want people who are fair, knowledgeable, honest and professional, This firm is the right one for you!

I had a case that no one was willing to take. My own insurance company refused and failed to back me. It was a hot mess. I had extensive injuries along with a totaled car. It was a fairly desperate situation. Serber Law took on the difficult task of repping my case. When you need someone to go to bat for you and win Jonathan is your man. He worked on this case and settled it when there were no good outcomes on my end. He is extremely invested in helping his clients. In the rarity of the times, I truly felt supported, seen, and taken care of throughout the entire time we worked on this case together. Words of gratitude are but a small token of appreciation. I am so thankful to Jonathan. Serber Law is where I intend to refer friends, colleagues, and family along with any personal needs that may arise.

We hired Jamra and Jamra for a volatile divorce and were super happy to have Michael Hanasab handle our case. There were lots of scary issues to contend with regarding child custody and allegations about unfairness in the divorce proceedings. Michael gave the best advice, although I wasn’t the best at following it, I did end up getting full custody of my children. I wish that all of this never happened but am very grateful to Michael for being the voice of reason. He was able to defend a lot of the unjust accusations and kept a calm demeanor throughout all of the drama. I will always be appreciative of Michael’s knowledge of the law and his ability to apply it with such precision. He is honest, reliable and professional. He will get the job done for you and I would highly recommend him.

I was in a very stressful and critical phase of my divorce where I was being accused of some pretty untrue, but lethal things that could have caused me to not get the custody of my children I wanted and deserved. I hired Mike and he came in there and made the "clutch free-throws" when it counted. He responded perfectly to the opposing council. We ended up going to court and he walked in their looking highly polished and confident, not arrogant and made the opposing council so nervous, they had no choice but to back down and give me what was fair and reasonable.
I highly thank Mike for his professionalism and patience in this war-like and stressful situation. I'd highly recommend him.

I hired Michael (along with Grace Jamra) in 2011. I came over from another big firm as I had been disappointed with the direction of my ongoing custody case. At the time I hired Michael I was facing more litigation and hearings and an evaluation. Michael was able to talk to opposing counsel and made every attempt to calm the situation. He knew my case inside and out, was reachable when I needed him and guided me through some very tough times. When it came to the evaluation Michael was instrumental in helping to pick the right evaluator (something that took quite a while) and met with me on several occasions to answer any and all questions I had about the process. Needless to say, my case turned around and in the end Michael was able to get opposing party to settle (even though opposing party was adamant about fighting and going to trial).
As for cost, I had to laugh at the negative review here. I was charged triple that amount at my previous firm in a matter of months. The billing with Michael @ Jamra & Jamra was incredibly fair and hugely different billing practices than some of the bigger firms. I never once felt I was being over billed or double/triple billed like I did at my previous big firm. Anyone who is going into custody litigation needs to do research and realize that it is an expensive area of law and the more litigation involved the higher the costs. I wouldn't think twice before recommending Michael to others if they needed a good and competent custody/divorce lawyer.

My initial impression of Kathleen was very positive—she came across as competent, driven, and solution-oriented. I spent months organizing and sourcing all my court paperwork at her request, which was the hard part of the process. However, once I completed this, the experience went downhill quickly.
Her 'team' began giving me the runaround. I reached out over six times to get an appointment, and they canceled multiple times. Despite this, I gave grace, trusting my first impression of Kathleen. After yet another cancellation, they said I would have to wait until the new year to be seen. I requested a date for 2025, booked months in advance, but the appointment came and went without any communication from her office.
I reached out to express my disappointment over the wasted months of effort on a sensitive case not to mention the $800 consult fee, urging Kathleen to do better. Her response was dismissive—claiming her staff said I had new representation (which is false) and that she is not taking 'new' clients. There was not even an apology for the months of wasted time, lack of communication, or the sheer number of follow-ups I had to initiate.
This was a deeply disappointing experience, marked by unprofessionalism and poor taste. I cannot recommend Kathleen based on my experience.

My attorney lied in documents and to the Judge in April 2023, saying that I had agreed to something I flat-out refused to pay. which was my son's girlfriend's attorney fees. I refused to pay and told her that. I am still working on fixing the problem with the other attorney I hired after firing Jonifor this act. I ended up filing a Bar complaint on November 28, 2023, and it was closed due to lack of evidence, so I will need to straighten this out with my new attorney and with the court. This experience was a lesson learned.

Jeffery has helped me and my family through a long series of family law, litigations, divorce, paternity, custody and adoption procedures. At every turn , he has been very cool about explaining the legal system that often seems unfair and stacked in favor of rich people . we have always been successful, even if things took longer than I had expected. I have referred many friends to him and they all have had the same experience. Jeffery is deadly blunt but very caring and accessible a no BS guy in a world full of chaos. I am so grateful for him and his knowledge and all the help that he has provided me over the years!! I highly recommend him.

He is part lawyer, part chemist but mainly an honorable guy. Voted #1 lawyer in my book!

I was wrongfully stopped for a traffic issue which turned into them illegally searching my vehicle and booking me a for a pistol. No felonies no record or anything. They tried to get me in four felonies which dropped down to 1. Allison made sure to press the issue on my behalf that it was an illegal search. She stayed consistent with me. And made every court date. They eventually dropped the case. I would recommend Allison to anyone. She’s tough, eager, and knows what she’s doin. I felt very comfortable she pulled up on me numerous of times in person to discuss my case. I love her and I can’t say enough. Thank you Allison.

In December 2021, I found myself in a dire situation. I was a trusting wife whose husband had sole control over our finances, investments, business, and estate. After a 20-year marriage, where I believed that my spouse was a trustworthy, hard-working partner, I discovered that he had engaged in a pattern of illegally siphoning money from our properties through deceptive means and had hidden these assets from me. Our marriage was ending, and I had little to no funds to pursue legal representation.
I found Elyse Margolin through a referral from a trusted friend. From the first consultation to the day I met with Elyse to sign my final divorce documents, she became my guardian angel, confidant and trusted friend. Elyse demonstrated such compassion, humanity and professionalism which saved me and my son during a frightening and traumatic period in our lives. This was not as easy divorce case. Assets had been concealed in such a devious and complex manner it required the assistance of a forensic accountant to uncover. Elyse and her staff were tenacious in tracking down every account, every hidden debt (including massive tax liabilities), and uncovering every deception. Her dedication to her clients and legal expertise ensured that I could remain in my home and provide for my own future and that of my son.
Elyse is a crusader for her clients. She believes in justice and doing what is right. I was the underdog in a case that could have easily left me destitute and homeless. But for the dedication and support of Elyse and her amazing staff, I would have lost everything. What happened to me is a cautionary tale of what can happen in a marriage when a spouse is entrusted to have total control of all the marital finances without oversight. I made this mistake and Elyse was there to counsel me about the importance of taking control, finding my power, and becoming the master of my destiny. If you see yourself in anything I have shared, please call Elyse Margolin and know that she will be your counselor and savior just as she was mine.

The Law Offices of Levin & Margolin by far is truly exceptional. I can't emphasize enough how highly I recommend Attorney Elyse Margolin. Once you experience her services, you won't need to look anywhere else. Elise is incredibly responsive, highly knowledgeable, and a person you can trust implicitly. Her entire team is dedicated to safeguarding your best interests throughout the process. I can confidently assure you that no other attorney will put in as much effort as she does.
In my case, the legal matters were quite intricate, but having Elise and her team by my side filled me with empowerment and confidence. When it was time to step into the courtroom, I felt invincible because she was representing me. I can't stress this enough; Elise is a formidable force in the courtroom, and I truly pity any opposing team that goes up against her.
Should I ever require legal assistance in the future, there's no doubt I'll be reaching out to this Law Firm. If, for any reason, they are unable to take on my case, I know I can trust Elise to refer me to someone equally exceptional. I have unwavering faith in Elise, and my trust extends to her entire team, who are not only highly professional but also genuinely compassionate.
A million thanks Elyse and Nicole.

CAUTION! Michelle Cohen- Huggies is NOT to be trusted. It is only a matter of time before the claims of her unethical tactics become proven and she is disbarred. I too, have experienced her attempt to win by default and lie that I was properly served for an unlawful detainer. filed for a motion to quash (must be within 5 days from when served) and was dismissed. If you are her opposing council, do not under estimate her willingness to lie, cheat or steal!

Jennifer and her very talented right hand, Belki (her superstar paralegal), have been fierce advocates for me and my daughter, Scarlett, throughout the most challenging and gut-wrenching custody case involving domestic violence. I cannot express enough praise to Jennifer for her expertise, integrity, passion, patience and continued fight for my daughter’s best interest. I am so grateful and blessed to have Skolnick Family Law on my side as I continue to navigate family law matter.

Jennifer was terrific at representing me in Los Angeles County. My divorce case originated in Hawaii, with my ex-wife fighting over visitation with my 2 daughters and demanding large alimony and refusing to settle. It took 5 years, but it is finally over and I am free of alimony in CA. Jennifer wrote successfully and researched past case law to make a successful argument and get my ex-wife to settle. I thought my divorce would never be over, and finally it was. I would certainly recommend Skolnick Family Law.

My story is probably nothing new and will sound very familiar. Phil and I met and married in Dallas. I worked during our marriage and my husband was the primary source of income with consideration to our lifestyle. I also helped with his financial problems early in our relationship, before and after marriage. I had more in savings, a steady job, and an A rating credit report. After three years of marriage he wanted to move back to Los Angeles, where he was working in the entertainment field, and restart his career that collapsed due to a substance abuse problem. With reluctance, I quit job and career path and moved from Dallas to Los Angeles for my husband’s career, which increased his income substantially. My career however faltered in Los Angeles and I had to start over again in a different field and work my way up. After 12 years of marriage we divorced.
Two years after the divorce was final, my ex came back requesting to stop support claiming health issues was causing him to work less. I contacted my original attorney and he could not take the case due to his workload and traveling and he sent me several referrals. After contacting all of them I felt confident with Jennifer Skolnick. She returned my calls, was communicative of the process and gave me realistic expectations of possible outcomes. She didn’t sugar coat the realities of court proceedings which I appreciated.
Part of the legal process required financial disclosure on both parties, and this is what scared me most. I was diligent about saving my money for the future and I thought a judge would side with my ex-husband and say that I didn’t need his support any longer. With a fine-tooth comb, Jennifer reviewed my financials and my ex-husband’s and determined that there were no significant changes in either of our income’s and he did not work less or make less since his visits to his doctor. But still noted that a judge will make the final decision. She then reviewed his medical reports and tests and found a statement buried in the reports that Phil admitted that he did not believe that his health was affecting his work and was able to work full time-even though he claimed his health was the reason he was requesting to stop spousal support. I believe it was Ms. Skolnick’s diligence in reviewing years of financials and medical reports that helped our case for spousal support to continue. In writing my declarations and memos of opposition Jennifer wrote with a logical and concise flow, had facts to back up statements of Phil’s financial stability, my contribution to my marriage, giving up my career for his, and his ability to continue to work and that his health improved with medication. There was no comparison with Ms. Skolnick’s declarations and memos of opposition and my ex’s attorney’s. My documents were factual and well written whereas his attorney had no facts to back up any of their grievances.
Ms. Skolnick’s attention to detail was valuable. She asked several questions about my marriage, asking about subjects and details I never thought would make a difference in defending my case. Her questions made me think about what I did for my husband financially before and during our marriage, where he was in his life before we met and when we met, our lifestyle habits, his spending habits and mine, and the responsibility of taking care of our home. It was an emotional 5 months of gathering documents and remembering the beginning, middle, and ending of a relationship but Ms. Skolnick was able to help and keep me on track with her “to do lists” for me that helped me get through this process.
Ms. Skolnick is an exemplary attorney and I would strongly recommend her.

I can understand some reviews left about Mr. Kramer. I had the same impression about him as some others.
When I left my experience with this law firm, Mr. Kramer reached out to me. I stood firm on my decision to let my review stand.
He can come off as negative. But he really is a kind man once you understand him better.
He also responded to my email reaching back out to him, about a question that I needed a professional opinion on.
He spared his time for me and guided me. Even though I’m not a client of his, Mr. Kramer was still willing to help me, despite my review, I left about him that he disagreed with and disliked.
He’s a cool guy. He gained my respect. He’s a good and skillful debater. Worth his price if you can afford him.
Thank you so much for your kindness Mr. Kramer!

I reached out to Dr Kramer due to a google search for helping with Malpractice from Kaiser. While Dr Kramer did come across short and rough over the phone, and requested a 5-figure up front retainer, I wanted to vouch for him since I saw so many people complain about his initial phone call.
He is rough and direct. But that is what you want in an attorney. He’s also uniquely qualified since he has both an M.D. as well as a J.D. He got his law degree from Stanford. I called on Memorial Day, a holiday where most firms only let me leave a voicemail and never actually returned the call, and DR. Kramer answered the phone personally. I was requesting an ex parte motion be filed asap and despite the short notice, he was willing to get it done in less than two days filed with the court.
He may not be the cheapest attorney, but he’s direct and answers the phone or messages you back quickly. This is a rare thing in the legal industry.
Most attorneys will likely give you a lot of lip service. I actually prefer the direct to the point nature that Dr. Kramer gives. He doesn’t waste time.
So if you are very sensitive and need someone to be gentle with you over the phone for an initial meeting, he likely isn’t the person for you. If you want an aggressive, hard working attorney who is overqualified for his role and still willing to take smaller cases, then he is your man. As an experience finance expert who graduated from Harvard University, I can genuinely tell you that this is a rare trait to have from an attorney. Anyone would be lucky to have him represent their case.

CAUTION! Michelle Cohen- Huggies is NOT to be trusted. It is only a matter of time before the claims of her unethical tactics become proven and she is disbarred. I too, have experienced her attempt to win by default and lie that I was properly served for an unlawful detainer. filed for a motion to quash (must be within 5 days from when served) and was dismissed. If you are her opposing council, do not under estimate her willingness to lie, cheat or steal!

What a Domestic Violence Lawyer Can Do for You
A domestic violence lawyer provides legal assistance to individuals involved in cases of domestic abuse, whether you are a victim seeking protection or someone accused of domestic violence defending against the charges. These lawyers help with obtaining restraining orders (protective orders), representing clients in criminal court, and handling related family law issues such as child custody, divorce, and visitation rights.
If you are dealing with domestic violence, a lawyer can help protect your rights and navigate the legal system to ensure your safety or defend you if you’re falsely accused.
When Should I Hire a Domestic Violence Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a domestic violence lawyer if you are:
-
A Victim of Domestic Violence:
- Filing for a protective order (restraining order): If you need immediate protection from an abuser, a lawyer can help you file for a protective order, which legally requires the abuser to stay away from you and refrain from contacting you.
- Divorce or separation due to abuse: If domestic violence is a factor in your relationship, a lawyer can help you pursue a divorce or legal separation and ensure that you are protected throughout the process.
- Child custody and visitation issues: A lawyer can help you secure custody of your children and limit or restrict the abuser’s visitation rights to protect the safety of your children.
- Filing criminal charges: If you are pursuing criminal charges against the abuser, a domestic violence lawyer can work with law enforcement and prosecutors to ensure the case is handled properly.
- Assistance with safety planning: A lawyer can advise on the legal steps to create a safety plan, including securing temporary housing, and taking steps to protect you and your family.
-
Accused of Domestic Violence:
- Defending against criminal charges: If you’ve been accused of domestic violence, a lawyer can defend your case, challenge the evidence, and represent you in court. If possible, the lawyer can help get charges reduced or dismissed.
- Challenging a restraining order: If someone has obtained a protective order against you, a lawyer can help you contest the order to prevent it from negatively impacting your life, including your employment and child custody rights.
- Dealing with family law issues: Domestic violence allegations can affect child custody, divorce, and property division. A lawyer can represent your interests in family court and ensure that your parental rights are protected.
- Avoiding criminal record implications: A lawyer can work to minimize the impact of the allegations on your record, which can affect your employment, housing, and future legal matters.
Hiring a lawyer at the earliest stages can help ensure your rights are protected and the case is handled effectively, whether you are seeking protection or defending against accusations.
What Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Do?
A domestic violence lawyer provides various legal services depending on the specifics of your case. These responsibilities often include:

Top Questions to Ask a Domestic Violence Lawyer
Before hiring a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to ask key questions to ensure they have the right experience and approach for your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with domestic violence cases?
Ensure that the lawyer has handled domestic violence cases similar to yours, whether you’re a victim or the accused. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, flat fees, or a retainer, and ask for a detailed cost estimate. -
What is the likely outcome of my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case, including potential challenges and expected outcomes. -
How long will the process take?
Domestic violence cases vary in length, so ask the lawyer how long they expect the process to last and what might cause delays. -
Will I need to appear in court?
Ask if your participation in court is required, and how the lawyer plans to represent you during hearings or trials. -
What steps should I take to protect myself or my rights?
Whether you’re a victim seeking protection or defending against allegations, ask the lawyer how they will help you navigate the situation.
How to Check the Credibility of a Domestic Violence Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable domestic violence lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Check their bar status: Verify with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for domestic violence experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in domestic violence cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients say about their experience with the lawyer.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have been involved in domestic violence cases.
- Check for memberships in relevant organizations: Look for certifications or memberships in family law or domestic violence advocacy groups, such as the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV).

To get the most out of your first consultation with a domestic violence lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
-
For Victims:
- Details of the abuse: Prepare a detailed account of the abuse, including dates, locations, and descriptions of any injuries or threats.
- Police reports and medical records: Bring copies of any police reports, medical records, or photographs that document the abuse.
- Legal filings: If you have already filed for a restraining order or been involved in any legal proceedings, bring copies of those documents.

-
For the Accused:
- Details of the allegations: Prepare a detailed account of the incident or allegations against you, including any evidence or witnesses that support your defense.
