Although it seemed like forever before the final settlement, in the end, it was well worth the wait.
Craig fought hard, advocating for me and I am more than satisfied and grateful for that extra effort that paid off.
After all the mental trauma from the crash, I can finally put it all behind me with a life altering settlement.

On 06/18/2022 , my life changed. After I was released from the police station the following day I felt alone, embarrassed, remorseful, hopeless, empty, sad and clueless as to how I was going to face my new reality. That day I was taught a big lesson that I will never forget. As a kid my father told me that two of the most important dates in someone’s life are, when you are born and when you find out what you were born to do. My dream and goal in life was to be a public servant as a firefighter/medic; thus, I always tried my best to maintain a clean record and contribute to my community. I achieved my dream and served my community proud, but that dream was short lived. For the last two years my life has been on stand by and every time I hear a siren on the street my heart shatters. From the moment I first spoke with you Mr. Levin I knew I had chosen the right attorney with the right team; you and Jon and all your staff gave me hope during a time of uncertainty. I will never be able to thank you all enough for how hard you fought for me. Today, my life has changed again but in a different way. Thank you again for fighting for me so that I can get my life back as well as fighting for me dream to become a firefighter again, it is people like you that motivate me to be the best version of myself. I will write a review for you all and with my hand on my heart I thank you again.

In my 10 years of working with business attorneys, Oz has been the best one so far. He is unique in that he spends a lot of time educating business owners. I've never met an attorney who spends their valuable time mentoring and guiding business owners to make the right decisions. A female business owner who I referred to Oz was looking to own a franchise. After speaking with Oz, and learning the pros and cons from him, she decided not to purchase this franchise. That right there is incredible generous work by Oz. Most business attorneys get right down to business and contracts, but not Oz. He talks to you.

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 worked with Maxwell on a web related project. What I learned about Maxwell is that he shows a lot of class and cares about each and every client. He's easy to talk to, knows what he is talking about and all around great to work with. I'd recommend him to anyone looking for an attorney to review a family law case of any kind in Irvine.

I sought Shawn's legal advice regarding a car accident case about a year ago and it was the best decision I have ever made. Shawn handled the entire process down to the smallest detail. While doing all this, he constantly kept me informed. He is a realistic, transparent and clear lawyer. He never made empty promises. He already knew how the case, which concluded this week, would end a year ago. It was great working with you, Shawn. I hope I never get into a car accident again, but if it does, you’re the only person I’ll call🙏😊

BRUNO NALU worked with my family and I when my dad was killed in a bicycle accident in Irvine in August 2022, they were extremely thorough and helpful throughout the entire process and took the time to explain our options and helped advise us on making the best decision for our family. They made us feel like they truly cared and we weren't just another number to them which was important to us during such a traumatic and emotional time for our family. I can't recommend BRUNO NALU highly enough for your legal needs!

I highly recommend Mr. Kapesh Patel for his outstanding legal services. My immigration case was quite complex, but Mr. Patel navigated it with exceptional skill and dedication.

Mr. Kapesh Patel is an outstanding attorney, I was very excited and confident to have a childhood friend since 1988 to represent me. He helped settle a complicated dissolution of marriage when things were not looking good for me. I started my case with a different attorney who clearly could not handle my case properly, I was heading into my 3rd year of back and forth with negotiations. I knew it was time to bring in a professional, I reached out to Mr. Patel and subbed him in as my new attorney, after a few short months Mr. Patel reviewed my case, and was able to settle with the opposing counsel for a fair settlement. I was very happy with the outcome and the support that Mr. Patel offered me during this difficult time. He was always available and ready to answer my questions. I will always be grateful.
I would highly recommend Mr. Kapesh Patel for your family law legal matters; he will work for you.

When it comes to family law, having a competent, understanding, and well-respected attorney is a must. After much research, we decided to trust Jon Mason with our move-away case. After explaining our situation during a phone consultation, he was honest with us about the challenges we might face and gave us a good idea of what we could expect. Throughout the whole process, he made himself available for phone calls, responded promptly to our emails, and was diligent in writing and filing paperwork for our case. After submitting declarations and enduring a 730 child evaluation (ruling in our favor), we were able to reach a settlement allowing us to move out of state with our son. We can’t put into words how grateful we are for Mr. Mason and all the hard work he put in to winning our case. Move-away cases can be difficult to win, but with the guidance and expertise that Jon brings to the table, you’ll set yourself up for the best chance at winning.

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to given Jonathan Mason's excellent work on our complicated out of state child custody case. After researching many reviews/websites he was a godsend to our family. We wanted someone we could feel comfortable with as well as someone who had enough experience to guide us through this dreadful process. He was responsive, patient, compassionate, honest and gave us piece of mind the entire time. He handled our case with the highest degree of professionalism. Jonathan helped bring the truth and facts to light in our court case. I want to thank Jonathan for representing us during one of the most difficult, frustrating and emotional times for our family. He always made us feel like our case was priority. Because of him we were able to gain primary custody of our five year old!!! I can't express how highly I recommend his services to anyone who feels like they are the underdog. If you are reading this you MUST hire him and if you don't, I wish you luck because you will need it. Jonathan - I wish you and your team much success! You will forever be our go to attorney and we will send friends and family your way.

We just finished the Jury Trial yesterday 02/08/2024. We won a $20.71M judgement. The jury found in favor of us the plaintiffs in EVERY count of allegations plus we got 100% of what we ask for in punitive damages.
It was a fraud case our company got defrauded. Mr. Brown took over the case on fifth month after the first complaint was filed. The first thing he did was write up an new complaint which made everything SUPER CLEAR. This is the MOST important thing you want to keep up in a lawsuit - KEEP EVERYTHING CLEAR & COMPREHENSIVE or NEVER CAUSE ANY CONFUSIONS for the Judge or the Jurors.
Mr. Brown was crushing the defendant’s attorneys. He kept our allegations/story CLEAR & SIMPLE. Why this happened, how did it happened, who was involved and ALL evidence to support your claims. That’s really all you need to win a trial.
You will never understand how important it is to keep things CLEAR before you actually attend a jury trial. Because at the trial, the defendant will do everything they could to cause confusions to the jurors, these “confusions” could potentially turn into your disadvantages which also could create challenges to the authenticity of your story factual background.
Mr. Brown has done an incredible and amazing job keeping our lawsuit CLEAR. I want to say even a young kid could understand what happen listening to his opening statement and closing arguments. And the truth is the jurors didn’t even bother spending the time going back and forth, because everything is so clear they understand what happened, they have all the evidence they want to see lined up clear and logical to support the facts.
If it wasn’t Mr. Brown, we would have a lot more challenges in our case. The other side is a fraudster, and fraudster often “lie” try to cause confusions to the jurors. Mr. Brown proved CLEARLY that the other side is a liar and 100% NOT credible. He proved it by pinning the defendant to his lie and use
evidence to prove he lied.
If any of you are victims of fraud, in harm of any breach of contract, or suffered damages from any business or personal wrongful conduct. You want to consult and hire Mr. Brown as your attorney.
It was a large case for our company and we browsed at minimum 30+ firms before hiring Mr. Brown. The result of this trial proved we made the right choice. He’s so logical and he doesn’t waste a second on “arguing”. He knows the game he knows what is the RIGHT approach to win. Because every lawsuit is different. You need Mr. Brown who is able to identify the merit of the case, and understand the insights.
Again, the worst thing you want to do or the stupidest thing you could do is to cause confusions at the court. The other side will always want to bring up nonsense arguments. You don’t need to jump into their “trap” arguing back and forth. Because the more you argue about nonsense, the weaker you are at trial even you have a strong case. All you need to do is have Mr. Brown prove to the jury this is nonsense and everyone inside the court room will understand what kind of game the other side is trying to play.

I am extremely happy with Brown & Charbonneau and their attorneys Greg Brown and Mark Higuchi. My case was complicated with lots of details. Greg and Mark did their homework and were very well prepared for our presentation before the judge. Their efforts, preparation and professional presentation helped us win our case 100 % in our favor. A special thanks to both and I strongly recommend them to all.

Robin, was referred to me by a good friend who also works in Law Enforcement. Her knowledge about law enforcement financials and family law is second to none. She was head and shoulders above the few other attorney I interviewed. I kept all my retirement, deferred comp, and no child or spousal support. I have 50/50 custody and 90 percent on my third child. The best by far!!!!!

My divorce was, as most are, contentious. Robin instantly made me feel at ease. I felt that she understood me and my case. She was the perfect blend of knowledgeable professional, aggressive (when necessary) lawyer and empathetic advisor. My outcome was better than anticipated and she ensured that the impact to me, my career and my children was as minimalized as possible. She is truly a master of her craft. I highly recommend Robin Grant. Thank you Robin.

Mr. Bridgman is extremely professional. I am dealing with a serious legal matter and he took the time to listen to my case and gave me excellent advice. Bruce's priority is his client's best interest. He explained to me that he wanted me to first see what the outcome of my matter is before stepping in as this would be unnecessary if it is resolved.

I was referred by a friend to Bruce and his law firm. Bruce and his staff helped me with resolve a family law case matter related to an old judgement where my ex husband was in contempt of the court order.
Working with Bruce made the process so seamless. My first consultation was free, and Bruce was so diligent in taking the time to thoroughly and carefully listening to the details of my case he narrowed down a strategic plan. He explained the details of the plan and explained the step by step process of my my case. Bruce was extremely attentive throughout the process and was able to resolve the case quickly which resulted in us not needing to go to court and settle the case and thus saving me money and time that otherwise would be spent.
Bruce is a great professional, ethical and extremely knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is prompt and quick at getting things done and I really appreciate all his help with my manner. I highly recommend him and will definitely come back for any legal needs in the future.

Andy and his team has been with me since day 1. He helped me to win full custody of my child. He then helped me to obtain move away orders years later. Now I’ve come back a 3rd time and he’s won for me yet again! He has never let me down and has always been honest and straight forward. Andrew and his team are supportive and clear when explaining and they set honest expectations. I feel so confident every time I’ve had to enter the courtroom because I have Andrew and his team on my side. I would recommend Andrew and his team to my loved ones and anyone who wants to have the best on their team.

Andrew Klausner is an awesome attorney! After 13 months of my case dragging on, and my previous attorney was just billing me dry. I decided to hire Andrew Klausner to handle my case. He took the bull by the horns, cut through all the crap that was being thrown around by opposing attorney. He argued the law like a pro that he is. Shut the other side down and won the case. Highly recommend Klausner and Johnson.

Matt Cadwell is AWESOME!!!
Matt Cadwell, and the entire staff at Boyd law, gave me reasons to believe that lawyers are not money suckers. In my experience, Matt has proven that the team at Boyd Law actually cares and thinks about their clients first.
Divorce is one of the most stressful things a person can go through. Matt was right there with me every step of the way. His commitment to my case give me the courage to fight for what is rightfully mine and not be taken advantage of. He is the most kindest, supportive, easy to talk to attorney I've ever met.
He attended court with me on several occasions throughout my long complicated divorce and won some unthinkable hearings.
I am very grateful for all the help and support Matt provided me and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch attorney.

It has been an amazing experience in what could be the most stressful time in someone's life. I'm extremely lucky to have worked with such an amazing group of professionals who were supportive, caring and treated me with the utmost respect. Matt Cadwell (Managing Attorney), Maggie, Susana, Ashley, Richard and Kimberly were amazing (there are probably a few others that have helped - it felt like I had the entire firm on my side)! They were relentless (in a good way) and kept me aware of what was going on with my case at my pace. They were extremely responsive to any questions I had.
Matt was an amazing individual - he truly tried to keep my options open and gave me different routes we could take - balancing financial and time concerns. He never quit and always had a plan in place if certain avenues didn't pan out - this was a very intricate dissolution.
I'm fortunate that we were able to get a resolution and it was worth the time and investment.
Overall I’m very thankful for all of everyone's efforts - especially Matt's. I would definitely recommend them to anyone that needs legal support!

I never imagined having to fight for my kids. We always said it would never happen. Well my ex banked on the fact that I would not be able to fight. I almost couldn't until I found Matt Cadwell. As an attorney Matt went above and beyond to help me and my children. As a human being he understood my position and took all necessary stes to make sure my case was heard and my needs were met. Listening to all my concerns, wants and needs, Matt developed a strategy that proved to be successful. While preparing for trial, Matt gave me the opportunity to read and review all questions and gave me an opportunity to insert questions of my own while constantly reminding me that this was all up to me and he would do whatever I wanted. He showed concern for my well being each and every step of the grueling court process. Matt is not only smart and professional, he has a heart and understands his clients needs. This was not easy, but Matt prevailed and the judge had no choice but to make a decision in my favor. Each time I was nervous or scared, Matt was able to calm me down by reminding me that being nervous was good because I cared. He cared too. Whether I needed help with emails or understanding procedures, Matt made sure I understood. He fought hard and spent countless hours preparing himself and me for trial. I would recommend Matt Cadwell to anyone that should find themselves in need of services through such a difficult time in life. Trust me. I had to interview several attprneys after firing the first one I had. Matt is honest, dependable and will work extremely hard for each of his clients. If you found yourself on this page because you need someone to fight for you, Matt is the fuy you want and need to stand with you and fight for you.

Having Stephen represent me in my Child Custody case was the best decision I have ever made. His professionalism, attention to detail and knowledge, let alone his high moral character and ethics, helped me win my case for my son at a time when I almost lost all hope.

Stephen helped with a case my ex wife brought to OCCS after 30 years falsely claiming I owed back child support. He was very thorough and explained everything to us on our level. His presentation in court with all of the facts and his knowledge I believe helped make a quick decision by the court in our favor.

Steve is a true professional. Steve represents his clients with integrity and is upfront and honest. Steve represented me during a separation with my wife but our goal together was to save our family and find a solution that did not include divorce. Steve believes in preserving the family and was awesome throughout our proceedings eventually earning the respect of my wife which ultimately led to saving our marriage. Steve was very empathetic during the process and I would highly recommend him to anyone.

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.
