Attorney Jay helped me out with my injury case a couple months ago. I called around a couple of places and most took my name and number and I couldn't talk to a lawyer. My friend recommended Jay and I called his number and he picked up and talked to me about my case for a long time and helped me with all the questions I had. Extremely pleased with the results of my case and I'm very pleased with the level of service. Thank you so much Jay!

I was asked by a friend (not internet savvy) to help search for some legal advice, so I turned to yelp to filter out the top rated lawyers to cut down on call time.
Aventus was the second on the list that I had called and ended up being the last since I didn't need to call on any others. They genuinely listened to the scenario and gave some sound feedback. I setup an appointment so they could talk directly in detail with my friend. I'm happy that Aventus helped my friend get things resolved quickly, and my call list short! Their 5 star review is well deserved!

What a great group of guys. Jay and Jonathan really took care of me during my accident process. I got rear ended SO HARD that my car stopped working, it was immobile, and i was in a lot of back pain. The person that rear ended me also didnt even have insurance! These guys really helped me feel at ease that everything will be taken care of and I was compensated for my time and medical bills that followed taking care of my injuries. Its nice having someone to take care of process for you so you can just go see the right physicians to get back to normal healthy living and you didnt have to spend hours on the phone with insurance companies, back and forth, stuck in limbo, not knowing if your bills will be covered or not. A+ for these guys! Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Mr Ghassan Shamieh in San Francisco for my application. After a challenging experience with my previous lawyer, I was relieved to find Mr Ghassan , who approached my case with professionalism, dedication, and compassion. They carefully reviewed all the evidence, updated the necessary documents, and crafted a detailed narrative to respond to an RFE. Their attention to detail and ability to narrate the complex aspects of my case were impressive. Thanks to their diligent efforts, my application was successfully approved.
Following that, Mr Ghassan guided me through the next stages, including my I-485 application. They made sure everything was in order, always keeping me informed and offering clear, thoughtful advice. Their responsiveness and support have been invaluable during this process, ensuring I felt confident and informed at every step.
If you’re looking for a lawyer who truly cares about their clients and has the expertise to navigate complex immigration matters, I highly recommend Ghassan Shamieh.

I had the pleasure of working with Aaron Cadiz, and I can confidently say he is a true professional in his field. His extensive knowledge and hard work made a significant impact on my case, successfully dismissing several of my charges. Aaron’s communication skills were exceptional. he kept me informed every step of the way, which was exactly what I needed during this challenging time. What stood out most was how he treated me like family, ensuring I felt supported throughout the process. I wholeheartedly recommend Aaron to anyone seeking legal assistance. Thank you, Aaron, for your outstanding service!! you truly are the best!

Having someone on your side who is knowledgeable, professional and compassionate while one is going through this particular hardship is essential. Moui fits all these aspects and would be your best choice when filing for bankruptcy. Moui is not only an expert in her field, she is confident, understanding and extremely helpful. She really took a load off my shoulders by thoroughly explaining the process and clearing up any confusions I had. She also guided me on the right decisions, was very truthful and very respectful. Communication between herself/assistants was also friendly, consistent and timely. You will not feel lost or overwhelmed having Moui on your side. I really appreciate her and everything she’s done for me.

He cheated me out of 9 months of seeing my children by having my wife place a restraining order on me to drag my name through the mud to get her out of felony domestic violence charges. My wife assaulted me many times over the years and because she was injured while violently attacking me,( I have never assaulted my wife)he turned it around and made me look like the bad guy.

I was referred to Daniel Martin, but I didn't think we would use them, we just had questions. Truthfully I didn't have any idea how to deal with this type of situation so I chose to hire Daniel and I'm glad I did. Daniel guided us through a process that was completely foreign to us. We did not have the time nor the knowledge to fully understand how to handle the paperwork, our rights, and the court process. Daniel was patient, non-judgmental, and understanding. Throughout the process, I messaged him often and he'd answer right away or let me know he would get back to me as soon as he could. He never left me hanging nor waiting around. He answered all of our questions and communicated that he would do his job to dismiss the case, which is exactly what happened. I would highly recommend Daniel and the firm. First time I have felt that a lawyer was honest, sincere, and on my side. Thank you Daniel.

10 out of 10, highly recommend, do not look else where! Hendrick is amazing! I originally retained him when I was charged with resisting arrest about 3 years ago. A day before my first court date Hendrick took my case and from that point forward took care of EVERYTHING. Fast forward to 2024 my husband was facing a felony charge that could carry a 3 year sentence, Hendrick was able to negotiate time served, home detention for 30 days and his immediate release. Definitely highly recommend that you contact Hendricks law firm and let them represent you in your legal matter, you will not regret it! Thank you so much Hendrick! My family and I will always appreciate what you have done for us!

I WOULD HONESTLY GIVE 0 STARTS IF I COULD!!! REEL FATHERS RIGHTS IS HERE FOR YOUR MONEY AND NOT YOUR RIGHTS!
I would run like your hair is on fire there is nothing good to say about this corrupt practice. I spent over $15,000 in 2 months with Reel Fathers Rights not doing ANYTHING for me. When I said they did NOTHING they really did NOTHING the only thing I got out of it was a scheduled FaceTime call with my son. We were supposed to go in for a custody battle (with LOADS) of evidence that would have made it an easy case yet NONE of the evidence was provided and nothing was even talked about. Heath was the one to suggest we push back the hearing for my case back (so they could keep stealing my money for the next 2 months).
THEN after the case I was not and still have not be contacted AT ALL about what was actually done during court (this was in January). It has been over 3 months and I was not been reach out to by anyone except the billing lady even after I reloaded my “trust” ($3500) TWICE (paid them $7,000) when the firm wasn’t even doing anything and I had 2 months until we present all the evidence that I had already been billed for and paid.
I have called them multiple times to try and get that paperwork and everything that they have “filed” and spent with my $15,000 I have paid in the last 2 months and I have yet to be sent anything except for a bill.
During my time having these guys as my attorney the best part was firing them and finding a new attorney. BUT (not to my surprise) when I fired them my “trust” went from $700 all the way down to $200 so it essentially costed me $500 to fire them and of course there was no explanation and there were charges added that didn’t occur and I can prove.
I have never felt like a company left me worse off than I started with but this firm is TERRIBLE. Heath would tell me “we should file this” then when I would give them the go ahead to do it then he would turn around THE NEXT DAY and tell me “ah nah let’s not file that anymore not worth it” EVEN THOUGH I HAD ALREADY PAID AND BEEN BILLED OVER A $1,000 FOR THEM TO DO IT!!!!
I really don’t want YOU to have this experience as I know MANY MANY MANY others have had the exact same experience as me so please DO NOT let this firm steal your money switch to an attorney who is cheaper won’t add and make up fake charges to bill you for and actually does there job. (Such as saying that you had an hr phone call with the attorney when you didn’t and have phone records to prove it). I know there is many people who have filed a complaint with the California bar against these guys which goes to show how bad and corrupt of a business they are running.
Heath baker is the laziest attorney I have ever met, will not represent you in person, wastes time on your call (that is $600 an hr) talking about things that are not relevant to your case whatsoever, and will not follow up after court or even send an email. There is a lot more that I could say and share from my experience but I think that you get the point by now.
TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!!!!!

Reel fathers rights is not a place that is in it too help fathers. They are in it to rip you off and steal your money during my time with the firm. They were extremely poor with any communication and wait until the last second in the middle of the night to review or do any of my documents along with charging 600+ dollars per hour Attorney fees, and they charge on top of that to file every single little thing, including any communication between anybody ever and after my account was closed when I fired them, they had proceeded to With another 800+ dollar bill you’ll find a photo attached of the billing document after they have been fired and before they have returned my remaining trust. And during my time with them, they claimed my attorney went on vacation, but during the time they actually had to let her go, and they had to move one of my court dates saying that they had to be another court case And resulted in me having to pay all of those fees for them to change my date I do not recommend this firm. They are not accommodating with anything. They have no tolerance policy the second you get upset that they’re charging so much money they threatened to leave you. I fired this firm on April 5, 2024, and this billing statement is April 11, 2024

Kevin Gres is an exceptional legal professional who embodies integrity and compassion. When hope seemed lost in our search for representation, Kevin's empathy and dedication shone through from our first conversation. He not only took us on as clients but also eased our anxiety with his expertise and guidance. Throughout the process, Kevin's kindness and excellent communication skills remained unwavering, and his commitment to fighting for justice was evident. He is a true advocate for those unfairly accused, going above and beyond to explore all avenues for the best outcomes. Incredibly grateful for Kevin's brilliance and integrity, words cannot fully express our appreciation for his outstanding service.
Thank you again Kevin, your kindness is one we will remember forever.

This attorney Mr Cornell allows attorney Steve sinfield to list his office location at the banning office 422 e Ramsey in banning calif.
The state bar says it not allowed and the city hall has no record of a business license for the Steven sinfield having office of rent or lease agrement
Persons went to that office to serve small claims paperwork on the attorney brooks vs Sinfeld the manager of the office stated he does not have an office in the building.
The state bar sent a card to the address and it was returned to sender for Mr Steve sinfield.
The office manager has been told to keep the door unlocked during business hours but she refuses because the attorney shaffer Cornell tells her not to keep the door open during open hours 8-,5
She will not display all ( if any business licences are also required by the law of persons doing business at the banning office. There are 6 people using that location but no business licences are issued and most of building is empty
The building owner does not know Steve sinfield but the address on state bar website lists his information in banning address that's not true

I am incredibly grateful to have had REJALI Law Firm as my legal representatives. From the moment I reached out to them, I was met with a level of professionalism and respect that made me feel valued as a client. The attorneys and staff treated me like a family member, which made the entire process much more comfortable.
What impressed me the most was their willingness to answer any questions I had, no matter how small. They were always available and eager to provide clarity, which significantly alleviated my concerns during a challenging time. Their approachable nature and genuine care for their clients truly set them apart.
I wholeheartedly recommend REJALI Law Firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. I will certainly be referring my friends and family to this trustworthy law firm in the future. Thank you, REJALI Law Firm, for your exceptional service and support!

It was a plum pleasing pleasure as well as a privilege to have Omid representing me in this lawsuit. From the moment that I met him until now he has been more than a stand-up person that you could really trust. I even had my girlfriend on the phone with me and she mention the same thing about his warm spirit. She noticed the same thing that I noticed how contrite and honest omid is . I am so happy about the settlement and the way he conducted his business with me. I truly believe in this young man and will recommend all of my friends to this law firm. All I can say is much thanks and God bless you and your family. He truly looks out for his clients and I can say a thousand more times thank you thank you thank you!

Our Aunt worked with Aaron for her Trust. We were so impress with the kindness and professionalism we encountered with him we wanted to use Monday Morning Trust for our Trusts.
We worked with Ryan. He made it very easy to set up our Trusts and we were able to do it over the phone. The presentation of the the Trust documents is excellent.
They took a worrisome task and made it very easy to complete. It’s one less concern as we begin our retirement.
Thanks.

I have not retained this attorney as of this moment and therefore cannot speak to his performance, but I will say that I called at 6:30 pm on a Sunday and he not only answered but provided realistic and true advice. This on its own speaks more highly than most legal advocates I've experienced. Regardless of what route I choose to take, he treated me like a person and didn't provide any fake promises. I'm grateful for that.

I highly recommend The Law Office of Curtis Daugherty. He handled my husband’s case professionally and was aggressive when he needed to be. He was able to help my husband with custody and child support issues and overall the outcome was better than what we could have asked for. He cares about his clients and knows exactly what he is doing. Although, it was a long stressful process in the beginning it was worth it in the end and we could not have asked for a better attorney and his paralegal Jackie. We most definitely trust him and his team for any future issues that may arrise to represent my husband again. Thank you.

Do not retain Mr.Quinnan if you are in need of an actual advocate. He is sadly a cog in the broken machine. When things get tough he won’t be there for you. He is a man’s man in every sense of the word and I’m sorry that I made the mistake in trusting my life to him and his partner Peter Kuykendall. In my most crucial moment they deserted me and blamed it on the “fine print.” I guess speaking the truth was simply too much for these boys to handle. not a huge surprise there. Buyer beware.

When my husband was hit by a car driving his motorcycle, I called the Law Offices of Kevin McConnell. Two hours later he was sitting in my living room helping us arrange for medical treatment, explaining the insurance claim process, and how he could help. Over the next few weeks Kevin responded to every email or phone call immediately and even helped us get his Harley from the tow yard. He is extremely personable and the information he provides is clear and understandable. We recommend Kevin McConnell as an attorney in the event you are ever in an accident.

Ryan Fender is an unbelievably dedicated and knowledgeable lawyer in his field. I had a very sensitive and emotional situation when my father died and my brother sued me and he helped us and was sensitive to my broken heart but also kept it real and calmed me down. He knows everything you could even think of and then some. I couldn't be happier with his help and he also answered every single email or call in a very timely manner. Even when he was on vacation, he answered me in a minor emergency situation. Thank you Ryan!!! You are the BEST!!!

Ryan is an outstanding attorney! He is very thorough and got my family through probate! When I had any questions about the process, he answered my questions throughly and in a timely manner. I have referred 2 people in my family to Ryan. One is currently using him for probate and one is about to use him from probate. If I ever need a probate lawyer again there is no question of who I work with again!

I had a telephone consultation scheduled at 5:30 a couple days ago. Waited for 20 minutes, no call. I called the number I originally called and the receptionist said she would send a message to the lawyers. So I waited some more. I still received no call that day. That was 2 days ago. I never heard back from them.

I really appreciated the feedback from Mr. Morales, he was patient, thoughtful, and answered all of my questions without making me feel rushed or like an inconvenience. I really appreciated hearing from him directly as well, and that he didn't "sugar coat" anything and fully explained how different factors can make one case more difficult than another, and how that will affect his approach to the case. He is very authentic and transparent, and that's such an important factor for me when choosing an attorney.

I am thrilled to share my experience working with the exceptional team of Robert, Mary, and Sunny. Robert consistently provided prompt and thorough responses to all my inquiries via email and phone, demonstrating an impressive level of dedication. His ability to explain complex matters in a clear and understandable manner was truly remarkable, and I felt fully supported throughout the process. I placed my complete trust in Robert, and he exceeded my expectations by skillfully negotiating with the other party, achieving results that I had previously thought to be unattainable. Thanks to his careful handling of the situation, I was able to avoid a stressful court battle with my ex-husband. I am sincerely grateful for the outstanding service and outstanding results delivered by Robert and the team.

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:
-
For Victims:
- Filing for protective orders: A lawyer can help victims of domestic violence obtain temporary or permanent restraining orders, which provide legal protection by restricting the abuser’s access to you and your children.
- Representing you in divorce and child custody matters: Domestic violence often leads to divorce or separation, and a lawyer can represent you in family court to protect your assets, secure custody of your children, and arrange spousal and child support.
- Criminal representation: Lawyers work with law enforcement and prosecutors to pursue criminal charges against the abuser, ensuring that you are informed and supported throughout the legal process.
- Safety planning and legal advice: Lawyers provide advice on how to stay safe legally and can assist in securing temporary housing, providing guidance on how to leave abusive situations safely.
-
For the Accused:
- Defending against charges: A lawyer will build a defense by investigating the case, gathering evidence, and challenging the claims made against you. If necessary, the lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or penalties.
- Challenging protective orders: If a restraining order has been placed against you, a lawyer can contest the order and present evidence to defend against it, aiming to minimize its impact on your life and reputation.
- Handling related family law issues: Lawyers help defend against domestic violence allegations in divorce, child custody, and visitation disputes, working to protect your parental rights and reputation.
- Preventing long-term consequences: A lawyer will work to protect you from the long-term consequences of a domestic violence conviction, such as a criminal record that could affect employment, housing, and more.
How Are Domestic Violence Lawyers Paid?
Domestic violence lawyers generally charge for their services in different ways depending on the case's complexity and the type of legal work involved. Common payment structures include:
- Hourly rate: Many domestic violence lawyers charge by the hour, with rates ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and location. Hourly rates are common for both criminal defense and family law matters.
- Flat fee: For specific tasks, such as filing a restraining order or defending against a straightforward domestic violence charge, some lawyers offer a flat fee that covers all legal work related to that service.
- Retainer: In complex cases, such as those involving criminal charges, divorce, and custody disputes, a lawyer may require a retainer fee, which is an upfront payment that covers future legal services.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some domestic violence lawyers provide pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services to victims of domestic abuse who cannot afford legal representation.
It’s important to discuss fees during your consultation to ensure you understand how much your case will cost and what payment options may be available.
How Much Does a Domestic Violence Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a domestic violence lawyer depends on the complexity of your case, the lawyer’s experience, and the type of legal work required. General cost estimates include:
- Restraining orders: The legal fees for filing a protective or restraining order typically range from $500 to $2,500, depending on whether the case requires a hearing.
- Criminal defense: If you’re defending against domestic violence charges, legal fees may range from $2,500 to $15,000 or more, depending on whether the case goes to trial and the severity of the charges.
- Family law issues: Legal fees for divorce, child custody, and other family law issues related to domestic violence can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
- Hourly rates: Domestic violence lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour for their services, with more experienced lawyers charging higher rates.
Always ask for a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand the total cost of legal services.
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).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
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.
- Questions about your safety and legal options: Be ready to ask about the best steps to protect yourself and your family, as well as what legal actions you should pursue.
-
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.
- Legal documents: Bring any legal documents you have received, such as a restraining order, criminal charges, or child custody filings.
- Questions about your defense: Prepare questions about the legal process, possible penalties, and how the lawyer plans to defend your case.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation and provide the best possible legal advice.
