Last year I found Warren law firm through Google, I had tried 5 other law firms and no one wanted to take my case. I had 4 days to respond to my denial of my Green Card and Angela, Suyapa and the whole team set aside everything to work on my case and they worked effortlessly and went above and beyond. Within a month my denial was resolved and today I have my Green Card almost a year later!
If you want a team that will fight for you and will not back down to a challenge this is the firm you should go with. I am so grateful for their dedication and hard work!!! I highly recommend them!!!

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 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.

Facing divorce? Don't know what to do? Terrified of the process? Do yourself a favor and contact The Graves Law Firm in Pasadena. Ms. Graves was there for me each step of my divorce. She was always professional, courteous, and understanding that what I was going through was extremely difficult. There was no judgement. Just solutions. I felt that Ms. Graves and associates were experts in family law. And while we avoided court, I felt Ms. Graves and her team were ready to fight for me.

I hired Mr. Jarrod Wilfert for a DUI with injury case. This case was over two years old and even though I originally was told, I passed the sobriety test and did not get a DUI for some reason they decided to bring it back. Keep in mind, I had made several complaints about the police department, ignoring restraining order and allowing me to be abused. I had all the evidence to show not only was I assaulted that same month which is why I tested positive for a medication. They didn’t decide to bring the charge back because I got an evading police charge because I have PTSD Which had already been communicated with the police department many times. I did not evade the police. I let the car roll forward while having a panic attack. I tried to make that case for the police Evasion case Which should’ve been allowed because I really did have a mental health diagnose That I had been treated for four I had proof that I dealt with Negligence from the police and I put in reports. Nobody cared they wouldn’t let me make those arguments and they let me get a conviction which made them review the dui Decide to charge me. I had proof that I was assaulted that same month that I put in a complaint to the police department because the police who responded was friends with my ex who was my abuser. I also had proof that my car was rear-ended just a couple weeks before, and I took it into a mechanic who said that if it continued to Have break problems To bring it in, I had text messages with the owner of the car telling him that I thought I needed to bring it back in. I was on my way to the mechanic when the accident happened. I passed a sobriety test, and my roommate was with me when I passed it But for some reason, two years later during court They changed it And it said I did not pass. These were all viable arguments I could’ve brought in front of a jury But was advised not to because Mr. Wilfert told me he believed I could get it reduced to a misdemeanor, And from what I understand that would’ve this dismissed The whole case. While going through all this, I had to watch my abusive ex get hate crime And then get them dismiss due to mental health problems. Which he only saw because he was court ordered too, But as a woman who deals with a real medical condition and pays out-of-pocket for my my treatments Wasn’t the same treatment within my own community because apparently I’m a bad woman who needs to take a accountability. Besides all this There was several mistakes made with my case. For some reason, the police were very eager to have me go into the jails, So I was requesting house arrest, especially because of Covid. Mr. Wilford receptionist told me she was sending in the paperwork, right away. But after contacting the sheriffs department, I found out the paperwork was never turned in, I had to fill out the paperwork myself And turn it in last minute. If I didn’t persistently I would’ve had to go into the jails at one of the most dangerous times during Covid. Months later, I had texted Mr. Wilford because he told me to text him anytime, I texted him four times in one month Because the judge told me if I did everything within months, He would reduce the charge to a misdemeanor And get me off probation. So I was excited and I was texting him trying to get information on meeting up to discuss this. He never responded and you see me get concerned as if I thought something happened to him. Instead of getting a professional response and being allowed to be informed on my case and get help, I had the receptionist contact me getting… FULL REVIEW IN PHOTOS

For our case, dealing with the juvenile court, Mr. Wilfert seemed very unprepared. We would basically get information the day that we were in front of the judge, and the DA pretty much ran the show.
It is a misrepresentation that Mr. Wilfert states that he will fight for you, and is knowledgeable because he used to be police officer and a DA himself, because he lets the court decide and have control of your case, thus your destiny.
I had to start calling Mr. Wilfert's office and demand that he would communicate and tells anything about our case.
If your case is serious and you are looking for an attorney that is going to fight for you, and present a good defense, communicate with you about your case, do yourself a favor, and do not hire Wilfert Law.

I was looking for a Family Law Attorney to help me with enforcing my Divorce Decree and during my search this was the only law firm during intake that took the time to look at my case file and find my ex had filed a request for order to try and take custody away from me. Right from the getgo Eric and Lanie were on point with walking me through the process and providing factual evidence to support my case. Eric was very levelheaded and knowledgeable during the hearing and the judge sided with us. I will from now on be utilizing Eric and his team from this point forward with all my legal matters.

I highly recommend Eric Schneider, he is smart, knowledgable, thorough and attentive throughout the process. Having a lawyer who pays close attention to detail can make a significant difference. That's really important, especially when safety is a concern. Eric made sure everything where the law is concerned is followed and carried out. He continues to be a great resource when I have questions and responds quickly. I would highly recommend Eric Scnheider. I am beyond pleased with my experience.

I wanted to share my appreciation and admiration for the incredible services provided by Mike Kasemi, my former immigration lawyer. Working with him was an absolute pleasure, and he exceeded all my expectations in every possible way.
From the moment I walked through the doors of Mike’s office I knew I was in capable hands. Mike demonstrated an unparalleled level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication throughout my entire immigration process. He guided me with clarity and confidence, making a complex and daunting process seem manageable and even empowering.
What truly sets Mike apart is his genuine compassion and unwavering commitment to his clients. He took the time to understand my unique situation, addressing all my concerns with patience and empathy. His approachable demeanor and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure my needs were met left a lasting impression on me.
Thanks to Mike’s exceptional legal skills and tireless advocacy, I achieved a successful outcome in my immigration case. He navigated every obstacle with grace and proficiency, ultimately securing the best possible result for me and my family. I am forever grateful for his invaluable support and guidance during this pivotal time in my life.
I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. He is not only an outstanding immigration lawyer but also a genuinely compassionate and caring individual.

Carol is an extremely competent and knowledgeable attorney in the matters of family law. Finding a very good family law attorney is extremely difficult and I was very lucky to find Carol for my case. She guided me very well from the beginning regarding my case.
In the beginning, my case seemed to be very difficult or there were so many issues but the way Carol handled everything calmly, we were able to have the settlement in couple of months.
Carol always responded back to my emails or phone calls. She was always reachable. I am so grateful to Ferreyra Law Group for handling my case and guiding me in this difficult , emotional and stressful situation.
Thank you Carol Ferreyra.

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

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

I’m not sure where to start as my child custody and support case had gone on from 2019- 2024. Needless to say I’ve become close to my attorney and staff. Bryanna Brandalesi and Melinda Bozick always had my best interest and back when defending myself on a complicated and intricate case. Both were always understanding and helpful. I can not say enough about Bryanna because not only is she honest, hardworking and willing to go the extra mile for her clients but she is professional and knowledgeable about the nuances of child custody and support.
Thank you Bryanna and Melinda in all that you have done for my family.
If you should every need representation, I recommend Miller and Associates, Attorneys LLP

When I started the process of my divorce over 2 1/2 years ago, I thought I would be able to it without an attorney. After a couple months of back and forth, and getting nowhere I reached out to Miller & Associates. This was the best decision and the only thing I wish I would have done different was reach out sooner. Leigh and Anthony were phenomenal! They answered countless questions, walked me through the process step by step, and ensured everything was done timely and correctly. I didn’t feel pushed while making decisions, everything was always fully explained and I was able to make the best decision for myself and my daughter. They assisted with child support and contacting my ex-husbands place of business when I wasn’t able to get any answers. They took a stressful situation and helped me feel more at ease and comfortable with the entire process. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Overall, the staff at Miller & Associates is knowledgeable, caring and will do what it takes to ensure you are taken care of to the best of their abilities. If you are going through a divorce or a custody issue, call them…they will be able to help you and guide you through a difficult situation.

What a Family Law Lawyer Can Do for You
A family law lawyer provides legal services related to family relationships, including marriage, divorce, child custody, and adoption. Family lawyers help clients navigate emotionally charged legal issues, providing guidance and representation in disputes that affect spouses, children, and parents. Whether you're going through a divorce, seeking custody of your children, or drafting a prenuptial agreement, a family law lawyer ensures your rights are protected and your interests are represented.
Family law attorneys often handle sensitive matters and offer objective legal advice, helping clients reach fair outcomes either through negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
When Should I Hire a Family Law Lawyer?
Hiring a family law lawyer is beneficial in several situations, especially when legal matters involve close personal relationships. Common reasons to hire a family law lawyer include:
- Divorce or separation: When ending a marriage, a lawyer can help you navigate issues such as division of assets, spousal support, and child custody arrangements.
- Child custody and visitation disputes: If you and your co-parent can't agree on custody or visitation, a lawyer can represent your interests and work toward a solution that benefits your children.
- Child support: Whether you’re seeking child support or defending against a claim, a lawyer can help ensure the appropriate amount is calculated and enforced.
- Prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: A lawyer can help draft or review agreements that protect your assets in case of divorce.
- Adoption: Family law lawyers guide you through the legal process of adoption, ensuring that all requirements are met.
- Domestic violence or restraining orders: If you're a victim of domestic violence or being falsely accused, a lawyer can help you obtain or challenge protective orders.
- Paternity cases: If there are questions about the paternity of a child, a lawyer can help establish or dispute legal fatherhood.
Hiring a lawyer early can prevent issues from escalating, and they can offer you the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome in emotionally charged situations.
What Does a Family Law Lawyer Do?
A family law lawyer provides a wide range of services depending on your specific legal needs. Their responsibilities may include:
- Advising on legal rights and options: Helping you understand your legal rights regarding divorce, child custody, support, and other family law issues.
- Filing legal documents: Drafting and filing petitions, motions, and agreements with the court, such as divorce papers, custody agreements, or support orders.
- Representing clients in court: Arguing your case in front of a judge if a settlement can’t be reached through negotiation or mediation.
- Mediation and negotiation: Assisting with alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, to reach agreements on issues like custody, property division, and support without going to trial.
- Enforcing court orders: Helping you enforce court orders related to child support, alimony, or custody if the other party fails to comply.
- Drafting prenuptial or postnuptial agreements: Creating agreements that protect your assets in the event of a divorce.
- Handling adoption proceedings: Ensuring that the legal process of adoption is followed, from filing paperwork to finalizing the adoption in court.
How Are Family Law Lawyers Paid?
Family law lawyers typically charge clients in one of several ways, depending on the complexity of the case and the lawyer’s experience. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Most family lawyers charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and location. Clients are billed for the time spent working on their case, including consultations, court appearances, and document preparation.
- Flat fees: For more straightforward legal services, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, some lawyers offer flat-fee arrangements.
- Retainer fees: In cases that are expected to require significant time and attention, such as contentious custody battles, a lawyer may charge a retainer, which is an upfront payment that covers the initial costs of legal services. The lawyer then bills against the retainer as they work on your case.
The exact cost will depend on the complexity of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure, which should be discussed upfront.
How Much Does a Family Law Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a family law lawyer varies based on factors such as the lawyer's experience, the location, and the complexity of your case. Here are some general cost guidelines:
- Hourly rates: Family law lawyers typically charge between $150 and $500 per hour, depending on their experience and the complexity of the case.
- Flat fees: For simpler cases, such as drafting a prenuptial agreement or handling an uncontested divorce, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.
- Retainers: For more complex matters, such as contested divorces or custody battles, lawyers may charge a retainer ranging from $2,500 to $10,000 or more. The lawyer will bill against the retainer for the work they do on your case.
- Additional costs: You may also be responsible for additional costs, such as filing fees, mediation fees, or expert witness fees.
Always ask for a clear breakdown of the lawyer’s fees and any additional expenses during your consultation.
Top Questions to Ask a Family Law Lawyer
Before hiring a family law lawyer, it's important to ask questions to ensure they're the right fit for your case. Here are key questions to ask during your consultation:
-
What experience do you have with family law cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has experience handling cases similar to yours, whether it's a contested divorce, child custody dispute, or adoption. -
How will you charge for your services?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges by the hour, a flat fee, or requires a retainer. Ask for an estimate of the total costs involved. -
What are the possible outcomes of my case?
An experienced lawyer should be able to give you a general idea of what to expect based on the facts of your case. -
What is your approach to resolving disputes?
Ask whether the lawyer tends to favor negotiation and mediation or whether they prefer to take cases to court. This can help you determine if their style matches your goals. -
How long do you expect my case to take?
While it’s difficult to predict, the lawyer should give you an estimate based on similar cases. -
Who will be handling my case?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may do much of the work, so make sure you understand who will be your main point of contact.
How to Check the Credibility of a Family Law Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable family law lawyer, follow these steps to verify their credentials and reputation:
- Check state bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice in your state and is in good standing with no disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for reviews on websites like Avvo, Google, or Martindale-Hubbell. Previous clients can give you insight into the lawyer’s professionalism and success in family law cases.
- Request references: Ask the lawyer for references from past clients who can speak to their experience with the lawyer.
- Review their website or professional profile: Look at the lawyer’s background, case history, and areas of focus to ensure they have substantial experience in family law.
- Look for professional memberships: Membership in reputable organizations, such as the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), can indicate a lawyer's expertise and dedication to family law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a family law lawyer, it’s important to come prepared. Here’s what you should bring:
- Relevant documents: Bring any documents related to your case, such as marriage certificates, prenuptial agreements, financial records, custody agreements, or court orders.
- List of assets and debts: For divorce cases, prepare a detailed list of all assets (e.g., homes, bank accounts, retirement funds) and debts (e.g., mortgages, loans, credit card balances).
- Details of the family issue: Provide a written summary of the situation, including key dates and facts related to your divorce, custody dispute, or support issue.
- Questions for the lawyer: Write down any questions you have about the legal process, costs, and potential outcomes.
- Your goals: Be prepared to discuss your objectives, such as custody arrangements, property division, or spousal support, so the lawyer understands your priorities.
Being organized and clear about your situation will help the lawyer evaluate your case more effectively and offer the best advice for moving forward.
