I had the pleasure of working with Nicole at Aeschleman Law, and I can’t recommend her enough. From our first consultation, she demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal complexities I was facing and provided clear, practical advice every step of the way. Her professionalism, combined with a genuine care for my case, gave me the confidence that I was in good hands. Nicole was always prompt in her communications, thorough in her explanations, and unwavering in her commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. If you're looking for a lawyer who is not only knowledgeable but also compassionate, Nicole is the one to trust.

I can’t recommend Aeschleman Law enough. Nicole’s empathy and knowledge came through in our consultation.

We are business people who have dealt with lawyers for 40+ years. We had no idea how to navigate a child custody problem, which turned out to be the most difficult and wrenching matter we had ever experienced. Jennifer’s advice was crisp, clear and effective. She explained the process we faced and the outcomes we could expect. In addition to being knowledgeable, she was accessible, responsive, and sensitive. She was at all times dignified, charming, and calm. I do not believe you could have a better person to help you.

My case involved working in an area where the court has very wide discretion (spousal support). The team at JHMoreno Law provided excellent and conscientious support over a 4-year period of support contention. They crossed all their t's and dotted the i's and documented everything. While this kind of administrative work is expensive, it was necessary in working with the slippery opposition. Much more important was the wisdom of the counsel provided to me. JHM, esq., was amenable to discussions about strategy and metaphor, most unusual in a legal context, but powerful in a trial situation. His associates were knowledgeable,
and, when they didn't know, they looked it up. The staff treated me like family and I felt comfortable expressing myself in their offices. The work they have done on my behalf is first-rate. These lawyers are real people and, contrary to the usual negative 'shark' connotation, the tone of this law firm is compassionate and helpful. They have gone above and beyond in their prosecution of my case. I highly recommend them.

The attorney and his associate were friendly and assuring but I learned the hard way that they were not as experienced as I expected and as they claimed to be. In the earlier court hearings, the attorney did not put in adequate effort to present my case in order to effectively deal with the opposing party. My case could have settled sooner instead of it being drawn out for over 2 years. I know that if there was a more experienced associate working on my case, there would have been better overview and anticipation of particular problems. Many things were unnecessarily done and too much time was spent over the briefs and other paper work, rewriting several times and reviewing them to make them "perfect" thus experience was gained by the associate at my expense. Also the exorbitant legal fees I paid did not get me the quality of advocacy as expected. The office support charges were very high too which I believe is due to a complex and sophisticated office system and a large staff.

Mr. Ajlouny was beyond professional. He was able to explain the process, strategy of how he will be able to get my case dropped, and gather all necessary documentation right away. Moreover before him I had no idea one could pursuade the DA not to press charges, but this is exactly what Mr. Ajlouny did. He was also very patient with me, and "held my hand" during one of the toughest times in my life. Hands down best lawyer ever!

I cannot express my gratitude enough for the exceptional legal representation I received from Edward during a very challenging time in my life. I was facing a potential domestic violence charge and was incredibly worried about the impact it could have on my future.
From our first consultation, Edward put me at ease with his compassion, knowledge, and clear explanation of the legal process. He immediately began working tirelessly on my case and built a strong defense.
Thanks to Edward's dedication and skill, the district attorney’s office ultimately decided not to file any charges and discharged me. This outcome has been truly life-changing, and I know I couldn't have achieved it without his expert guidance and advocacy.
I highly recommend Edward if you're in need of a skilled and experienced criminal defense attorney. He will fight for your rights, protect your interests, and work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for your case.

Edward. The bottom line - within next two weeks if you don’t meet me for the trial results - I will have the full right to leave you a truthful review here. I will also file the complaint with the State of Bar and file for malpractice.
Edward Ajlouny claimed himself being very experienced in his field and failed my case completely- he didn’t do any discovery, didn’t submit any documents to the court, didn’t subpoena the documents he supposed to get for the court, he didn’t explain the laws. He charged money and never returned anything. He was constantly on vacations. Then he said these cases are not appealable and I filed for the appeal. After he didn’t want to give the case materials and go over the trial results -
The appeal is not a new trial - what I have now on the appeal is your work I will have to go over.
I respect my time and efforts. I am also a lawyer. As a fact, you didn’t do your job for my case. You have two weeks since today - if you don’t comply with the laws, I will do what I said.

Never again will I hire this firm. My case was a few years ago but it was with this same firm and with Mr. Valencia himself. On the phone he mentioned good things like getting the best results for me possible and possibly getting the charges dropped. All good things you want to hear as a person searching for an attorney but that's not how it went. This guy showed up late to every single one of my court dates by half and or more. He pretty much just showed up to do what I was supposed to do, which is stand before the judge and respond to his requests. I have a prior criminal record so I wasn't expecting him to make magic but at least show up to my court date on time which he did not. All matters were called first who had attorneys but sure enough mine waited until he got there. I feel I would've gotten the same results without him for sure as he did very little communicating with the DA or anyone on the other side of the podium. To top it off on my last court date after not seeing him for over half an hour I called his firm and they informed me he was in redwood city helping someone else. Seriously not cool at all or professional. So they sent another attorney from his office but not until an hour and a half from when the court started. I'm not here to complain about my outcome from the court cause that was a separate issue but i am here to complain about the unprofessional relationship I had with Mr. Valencia and how I will never recommend or reach out to them again. So save your money or go elsewhere because I wasted $4000 for something I could've and should've done myself. Last but not least I think it's very unprofessional how in most of the reviews that are not favored to them they put the person on blast for the previous case they had with them. That's very rude, unprofessional and down right dirty. If they do not like the truth being put in the reviews then maybe they should not be practicing law and giving people false hope. So I won't be surprised if I see information about my case they handled on here based on the responses to reviews that aren't in their favor.

In November last year, based on online reviews, I started consulting with Riccardo. At the beginning, he was quite patient. I consulted several lawyers and eventually chose him based on online reviews and his claim during the consultation that there was a 99% chance of winning the case. I felt relieved to leave the case to him. However, after we paid him, he stopped communicating and never proactively kept in touch.
At first, I thought my case was not a big deal until I was charged and realized the seriousness of the situation. I spent money consulting another lawyer online, who advised me to write a character letter and resume before being charged, which could have helped. But Riccardo never asked me to do anything besides providing basic materials. He was also unwilling to communicate proactively, and I didn't dare to keep asking him questions. Whenever I had questions, they were relayed through his assistant.
Throughout this period, he didn't inform me of what he was doing, and I had no idea about his actions until my case became more severe. He didn't help me much during the whole process and even made excuses, saying the DA was too young to understand family difficulties, which made me feel he was very unprofessional. I had trusted him because he claimed to have 30 years of experience.
After my case resulted in a conviction, I didn't disrespect him until a week ago when I asked if he could attend court on that day. He agreed, and I was very grateful. But today, when I asked him, he angrily told me he was very busy. He could have refused me or informed me earlier. Instead, he made a lot of excuses.
I swear that this person is really unprofessional, and I even doubt if those positive reviews about him are real. I know that when someone makes a mistake and needs professional help, they might go online and look at reviews. If you don't want to waste your time and risk losing your case, you really need to be cautious and not rely solely on ratings. From my experience, sometimes they are not reliable. This is my personal experience working with this person, and I hope to share it with those who need help. I fully understand your feelings, but it's crucial to be careful when choosing a lawyer.

Dear Ginny and Cynthia (Paralegal),
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for the incredible work you've done as my lawyer during what has undoubtedly been a challenging and emotionally draining time in my life – my divorce. You offered me not only your expertise but also your unwavering support and empathy. Your guidance and legal prowess have been nothing short of remarkable. Navigating a messy divorce was never something I thought I would have to face, but having you by my side made all the difference. Your dedication to my case, your attention to detail, and your ability to stay composed in the midst of turmoil were truly impressive. You fought tirelessly for my rights and the best possible outcome, and I couldn't have asked for a better advocate. I wholeheartedly appreciate your unwavering support and the immense effort you put into my case. Thank you

We had such a horrible experience with this Counselor. She is always asks for cash and meets at strange places! I gave her $2000 , she never completed the case, and gets extremely aggressive and angry when I followed up! I then started to worry about this and did some research on her. She was previously a Pole Dancer at a nightclub ! Wow! No wonder she exhibits this weird and strange behavior, I wonder how she handles her other cases. My money went down the drain! Pls take caution before hiring her.

Divorces are ugly and expensive but if you have a reliable attorney like Jennifer who knows what she is doing then it makes your journey a bit easier. Her work is so thorough that the opposing party needed multiple lawyers and their representation still seemed chaotic at best. I am grateful that I found Jennifer.

I have worked with Jennifer off and on for over 12 years. She represented me when I had to go to court on 6 separate motions regarding issues with my ex-husband, plus 4 additional motions with him that she was able to negotiate so that we didn't have to end up at court. Her greatest strength is her ability to craft written contracts and agreements that protect your interests and your family. Her agreements withstood the test of time as my ex-husband repeatedly tried to break them or go around them, but she had written them so that they stood up solidly in court.
Jennifer is calm and logical; she works with the facts of the case and strips away the drama. Provide her with facts and, if possible, the documentation to back up what you say, and she will be a powerful advocate for you.
Jennifer has immense integrity, which is hard to find in an area of law where there can be a lot of mud slinging. It was great to work with someone who used her deep knowledge of the law, strong attention to detail, and powerful skill with words to win cases.
One area where Jennifer is less familiar is if your case has complex financial issues. You will want to pull in a CPA or someone else to partner on that. However, I've found that most lawyers are not as strong in the math arena, so you would likely need to do this regardless of who you hire.
Overall, I was fortunate to work with someone extremely smart, honest, pragmatic, and focused on getting me the best outcome. If needed, would I hire her again? Well, considering that in a way I've hired her 10 times already and gotten very optimal results, it's pretty obvious that I would definitely hire her again.

Jennifer and her whole team at Mello Pickering were amazing from day one. They were professional, caring and genuinely looked out for my best interests. Navigating a divorce can be highly charged and emotional and Jennifer made sure to keep things moving forward in a way that did not enflame an already difficult situation. Needless to say, divorce is expensive but Jennifer and her team made sure to keep things direct and to the point in order to not increase my costs. I really can't say enough good things about Jennifer and everyone at Mello Pickering for helping me through an extremely contentious divorce in the best way possible. Don't look any further if you are in need of the best family lawyer in San Jose.

I called her and was honest from the beginning that I could not afford her regular fees. I told her that I was just taking a random chance that she may help me as an attorney by taking me on at pro bono or reduced rate. She was super nice . She was talking to me for 30 minutes and empathized with my situation and we laughed about some things we had in common. Before we got off the phone , she told me she’d be in touch shortly to discuss “next steps !” I was very clear with her that I had a hearing later that afternoon and that my case was time sensitive . She said not to worry that she’d help me. I waited and waited - no call. I called her after a few hours , Bht no answer. Finally I ended up going to my hearing , not having heard anything from her at all. I was really taken aback as she assured she’d help me. I called her from my google voice number , wondering if she was avoiding me. Sure enough , she picked up. But what was shocking was she acted like I had done something wrong and acted like I was somehow a random person she’d never
Spoken to. Luckily toward the last 10-12 min of the 30 min call I’d had with her earlier, where she’d been 180 degree different and nice, the maintenance man was fixing something
In my apartment. I had been in the kitchen when I spoke to her, while he was
In the living room working on the heater. I asked him if he recalled me talking to someone and being already on the phone when he first came in ( I have given authorization for maintenance to enter without me having to open door or be home) and he said yes, he did remember . I asked him if the conversation sounded weird or bad as I talked from what he could hear from my end of the call. I was doubting myself with how Julia responded to me as she answered the phone. He said that he didn’t hear anything that sounded
Like a negative conversation and had heard me laughing a few times ( as I had also remembered ).
In any case , I’m not sure if there is an identical twin , an alternate personality or what it was . But her behavior was concerning. She left me hanging after I had counted on her and was waiting for her to follow through. My suspicion is that she communicated with minors counsel on my case, likely violated confidentiality and
Minors counsel has already violated confidentiality by disclosing and sending a previous case we had that was sealed, and sending documents to parties that had no right to view it. She’s under investigation by California bar attorney regulation. I’m reporting Julia to the same board for this. Her lack of professionalism was a hindrance to my case. She didn’t even have the decency to inform me she would not follow through. She instead left me waiting for her, never having the courtesy to let me know so I would not have wasted my time.

My ex filed a restraining order against me based on false claims and somehow the order was erroneously granted by a judge prior to a hearing. I desperately needed a family law firm to help me through this situation as my career had been jeopardized. I decided to call Bressman Family Law after seeing great yelp reviews. While other firms would have assistants call me and give me boilerplate answers to my concerns, Julia was the only one to give me a call directly and give me advice during my free consultation. She immediately started to run through strategic ways she would handle my case. I felt heard. I hired Bressman Family Law firm and in turn was provided with great service by Julia and Andrew. They're both very knowledgeable lawyers and experts in their field. They were aggressive in their tactics and they were able to settle my case outside of court which saved me money in the long run. Julia and Andrew worked outside of regular hours and dedicated a lot of time and effort into my case; sometimes even late into the night. I hope never to have to use them again! But if needed, I know they will get the job done.

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.
