Jennifer completed a full estate plan for my wife and me after we relocated to California from Washington State. Jennifer was thorough, thoughtful, compassionate, and quick to reply to all of our many questions.
We are so relieved to now have a complete estate plan in place that conforms to complicated California law. I can't recommend her and her team enough, they were wonderful.

Jennifer helped our family when our father, who has dementia, was being mistreated by the hospital. The hospital staff would not allow any of the family to intervene or even access his patient records without a conservatorship in place. Jenna understood the urgency of the matter and put together the documents literally overnight. It still took a bit of time to get everything in place with the court, but Jenna kept us apprised of the process every step of the way. We can't thank her and her staff enough for their quick, compassionate assistance with what was a nightmare situation for our family.

Christian is the BEST attorney! He provided me a clear explanation of my case which made it less stressful in the beginning. He is understanding and supportive. There was no problem reaching him at any time of the day. He was transparent since the day I met him and that’s an important factor when choosing the right attorney. He will make sure you have everything you need even before the judge will ask for it. He made me feel ready at every hearing. He has plenty of experience at what he does. He will fight for you every step of the way. I definitely recommend him! You will not regret it one bit. He deserves more than a 5 stars with the effort he has put into my case. Thank you for your time and service, Christian. It was a pleasure working with you.

Christian is the best fit for you if you are looking for a criminal defense attorney. The prosecutor bullied me 12!!! courts simply because I had a public defender. I was facing a lot of trouble, but an acquaintance recommended him. Christian's strategic recommendation turned the tide in my case. He studied the case and said that my case was 100% winnable. I trusted him, and this is the result. Today, I was cleared of all charges. Thank you so much, Christian. I will recommend you to anyone who is in trouble.

Ray has [unfortunately] represented me twice for two separate accidents the past few years. He is very communicative, always kept me up to date on the case, and always asked how I was doing. I don’t ever wish a car accident on anyone, but if you have been injured in one, Ray is the one to go to!

Ray was recommended by a family member for his amazing work and how he took care of them, and well he did not disappoint not only answering any questions I had but answering calls when needed. But also making sure he did what he could so my case was treated fairly by the other parties and I was given the proper compensation for what had happened. I would highly recommend Ray for anybody out there that is in need of an attorney and that needs help with an accident case.

I completed a 7 week jury trial with Mr. Majd. Not many attorneys go to trial, let alone a trial that lasts almost two months. Trial lawyers get the best results. Period. We fought hard in court before a jury and judge who complimented us for fighting on behalf of a woman who alleged significant harm to her home. Anyone would be lucky to have Mr. Majd on his or her case. - Max A. Gruenberg

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!!!
He was paid in full and NEVER filed my response to my ex filing for divorce, even though I signed in his office a whole year prior. Now it's been 2 years into the process working together and he still hasn't filed?!?! Not only was that a huge fail - He can't mediate to save his life. If you are at an impasse in your divorce, he does not posses the tools to help you through it.
We stopped working with him and I hired an attorney who caught it immediately on the first phone consult. When I reached out Scott about it he ignored my question and told me, he has a system that works well and has many happy clients. (What does that have to do with him not performing the work he was paid for?) Total deflection.
An entire 2 years working with this man through the divorce process for nothing. Not only money wasted but time that I can't get back. I'm filing a complaint with the SDCBA, State Bar of California and filing a fee of dispute. $6k-$7k down the drain to accomplish nothing!

In a highly emotional and tense environment, Scott provided an environment where he supported the process by keeping us focused on the issues. Specifically, what I appreciated about Scott's approach was that he would explain what would typically happen in court, what would be arguable in court, what typically happens in mediation, and what were standard topics to be negotiated in mediation. Several times, we were close to moving away from mediation and going to court, which would have been an extreme waste of money in our case. Scott continuously tried to keep it on track to close out the process. I strongly recommend Scott as a mediator.

Words alone cannot express the appreciation and gratitude I have for the fantastic work that Land Legal Group did on my divorce case. They were incredibly efficient, highly competent, and provided exceptional service, handling everything with impeccable professionalism. I would rate them over 10 stars if it were possible. Attorney Joseph Land is a man of his word! From my first telephone conversation with Joseph all the way to the end of my case ,he and his team followed through with what he said they could do for me, and they did successfully. I never felt as though they put my case on the back burner. He always answer the phone himself right away or returned my calls immediately. Attorney Yana, who work along with Joe was compassionate and definitely knew the necessary legal steps needed for my case to have a successful outcome. She returned my emails and calls right away. They were all so very patient with me and never made me feel as though they were rushing me off the phone or didn't have time for me. I am so satisfied and happy with the Land Legal groups performance that I can go on and on. Also, thank you James who handled the financial portion of my case. If you are looking for a Legal team to get the job done legally, ethically and successfully the Land legal group is definitely the team you would want to handle your case. They truly value their clients and it is demonstrated through their performance.

It was nerve-wracking for me to go through the divorce process. I was having difficulty accepting and understanding why this happened but found calm with the help of Chelsea. Her thoughtfulness and sensitivity to my needs made me feel at ease and cope with what's in front of me, my daughter's emotional well being and what financial support was required for her and her mother. I followed and finished the recommended courses which expanded my understanding of my new life as a responsible father in a single parent household. Thank you for all you have done for me.

I have followed Chelsea on Instagram for over a year and love her relationship/prenup advice and education. I first purchased her Marry Me Smart course and then decided to use Chelsea to represent me as my partner and I drafted up our premarital agreement. At first I was anxious about the process but Chelsea is so knowledgeable and made the process easy, understandable and a positive experience. Thank you Chelsea for setting our relationship up for success!

Emily and Alex represented me during the development of my premarital agreement. I was under a time crunch and they both did quick and extremely thorough work. Emily and Alex were both very kind and I enjoyed working with them. I appreciated that they took the time to carefully explain various legal details. I hope I never need a family lawyer in the future, but if I did, I would absolutely work with them again!

I can't say enough good things about Candace. In a situation that is already stressful and difficult to be in, Candace was so friendly, communicative, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. She walked me through all of the paperwork, and filled me in on everything; easing my mind. Any time I had a question, she was quick to respond and explained things thoroughly, where I felt comfortable and educated on the next steps. Because of this, I knew I made the right decision hiring Candace. Absolutely worth every penny!

Candace Brooks worked with me on my bankruptcy for the better part of 2023. I cannot speak of her and her work highly enough!
She was kind when I shared my big feelings about filing for bankruptcy for the first time in my life. Flexibility is her superpower as I delayed the process several months to handle other priorities. When I returned ready to continue, Candace was patient as I caught up on my part of the process. She was a consummate professional while being personable along the way. She and her team made this as painless as possible while offering solid legal advice. I strongly and enthusiastically encourage Brooks & Carpenter as you consider legal representation.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natasha to draft a premarital agreement, and I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, Natasha demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care.
Natasha's communication skills are top-notch. She was always readily available to answer any questions I had, whether by phone, email, or via video meeting. She instantly put me at ease, making the process feel less daunting.
One of the aspects I appreciated most about working with Natasha was her patience and willingness to ensure I understood every detail of the agreement. She took the time to explain complex legal concepts in a way that was clear and easy to grasp, never once making me feel inadequate for not being familiar with legal terminology.
Natasha's approachability and friendliness made the entire process feel collaborative rather than intimidating. She listened attentively to my concerns and preferences, and incorporated them into the agreement while simultaneously providing valuable insights along the way.
Thanks to Natasha's expertise and guidance, what could have been a stressful and overwhelming process turned out to be surprisingly smooth and straightforward. She truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was in order and that I felt confident in the final agreement.
If you're in need of a trustworthy attorney who will make the process of drafting a premarital agreement as painless as possible, I wholeheartedly recommend Natasha.

The level of appreciation I have for Jenn McCabe and her team of associates is hard to put into words. The court system could really be described as a foreign land. One that is unfamiliar and structured in such a way that it’s almost impossible to navigate on your own. So if you find yourself having to enter into this system with a deeply emotional or traumatic situation on hand the pressure to have a wider perspective on how that system works is essential! That’s where Jenn McCabe came in and completely changed the trajectory of my case the moment she took it on.
She goes above and beyond to do whatever she needs to do to give you the best fighting chance in court. Before I had Jenn I had so much anxiety entering the court room. After having her as my advocate she represented me in court better then I could have ever done and I finally got the justice I deserved. This brought down my anxiety and kept me safe knowing someone else I could trust was representing me and presenting my case the best way possible. I’ve had an ongoing custody battle for over 2 years now and after hiring Jenn and her team I was able to attain full custody of my son and child support.
Bottom line if you’re looking for a highly competent, experienced and hardworking lawyer you can be assured that Jenn will meet all your expectations and more. I am beyond grateful for her guidance and level of professionalism. She’s the real deal and very pleasant to work with, down to earth and passionate in what she does. All my gratitude to Jenn and her team again I couldn’t have done it without them!

I had an exceptional experience working with Baghdaserians Law Group on my child custody case. From start to finish, the entire team showed professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for my situation.
Tarek Kholaki was the attorney, and I cannot say enough about his dedication. He remembered every aspect of my case and meticulously prepared all of my declarations, ensuring they were accurate, detailed, and effectively represented my position. His attention to detail and clear communication made the process smooth and stress-free.
For my hearings, Daniel Leonetti represented me in court. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to advocate for me both in and out of the courtroom were outstanding. I felt confident knowing I had such skilled representation.
One thing I appreciated most was how seamless the communication and collaboration were between Tarek and Daniel. Together, they ensured that no detail was overlooked and that my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism.
Patrick Baghdaserian also played a vital role behind the scenes, providing invaluable support to the team as a whole. His contributions ensured that everything ran seamlessly, and it was clear that the entire team worked together efficiently and effectively.
I also want to commend the office staff, who were always warm, welcoming, and highly organized. They made a potentially stressful situation much easier by ensuring that all paperwork was handled correctly and on time. I never had to worry about administrative details, which allowed me to focus on my case with peace of mind.
There were no drawbacks to my experience. Every member of the team went above and beyond to ensure the best possible outcome for me and my child.
I wholeheartedly recommend Tarek Kholaki, Daniel Leonetti, Patrick Baghdaserian, and the entire Baghdaserians Law Group team. Their professionalism, teamwork, and genuine commitment to their clients set them apart. If you’re facing a child custody case, you’ll be in excellent hands with this group.

Colin represented me in my second divorce which was simple, straightforward and inexpensive. My first divorce I was raked over the coals financially and emotionally.

I have referred clients to him and they concur.

Colin and I have been working together for years on a difficult collaborative case that would ebb and flow due to conditions that were outside of our control. Colin always made time for me when I reached out via multiple media options and together we negotiated a very fair settlement for both parties involved. I could not have done this without Colin's expertise, leadership, negotiation skills and forward thinking. I would and will continue to recommend Colin for legal representation to anyone interested in a Collaborative Law resolution to their situation.

Unbelievably poor service . My mother passed well over three years ago. My sister was the Trustee for the trust. I requested copies of my mothers bank statements and was advised that they were Not going to provide them… I.have called and emailed numerous times to get clarification on the remaining fund distribution. I find it amazing that it has taken over three years to settle an uncontested trust. Communication is a great thing and I don’t understand the unprofessional attitude of these folks. I guess the longer they drag it out the more fees they collect. I cannot stand folks that don’t answere calls or emails. Finally, I did get ahold of the paralegal yesterday morning and “ Jonny” stated she would get back to me in one hour. I never received the call…,

In 2022 I had came in and needed their services. I spoke with Julie and It was a tough situation revolving my father that passed away. She told me what they could do and they did their best to help me. I didn't understand certain things at the time and was under a cloud of pain among other things. They still gave me patience and took the time to listen to what had happened. I couldn't get a resolution in my case and retrieve my fathers items to this day, but it was never because of Brockway Law. Just an unfortunate series of events that made it difficult to continue further financially & emotionally. Brockway Law did the best they could and I will always appreciate it. Thank you

Dear Roy,
I know some folks who look back and think they could have gotten their awards from the Fire Victim Trust without an attorney.
That is not my experience. From my first meeting with you, I was comforted by your confidence that you would fight for us, even while you were dealing with your loss as well. That impressed me. You were clearly, “one of us”.
You have been consistently responsive and supportive in getting me and my family through this experience of joining the law suit. Your staff were always kind and helpful. And now you have helped me get to closure with my deceased husband’s claim. I thank you. And my sons do too.
You have my deep appreciation and admiration.

Tried to get a phone to call to see if I could hire or see if we would be a good fit. Just wanted to charge $375 for initial consult. I asked if that would go towards retainer and clerk did not know. I was offered email with info that’s generic? Then she said best of luck and have a great day? Not really the type of server I was expecting.
I did not necessarily want to speak with attorney just yet. A paralegal would have been fine. Was willing to sign a retainer so long it was worth pursuing.
Not the best way to sale the firm services.

We had a fantastic experience working with Beatrice Phan Law for updating our family living trust. We had created, revised, and updated our trust over the past several years with three other estate attorneys previously, and I can say with certainty that Beatrice Phan Law provided the BEST and most thorough service and planning of them all. We especially enjoyed working with her client services director, Helen Pak, who is AMAZING-- exceptional listener, very attentive and thorough, warm and friendly, professional and kind...all at the same time. Beatrice has a clear process that she follows for her clients, which I appreciate. It's something that doesn't happen overnight, nor should it: creating or updating your trust is an important step in taking care of your family and loved ones, so it does require a lot of thought and time, especially if you need to have those deeper conversations with your spouse about things. Beatrice and Helen were great in working with our busy schedules as well as keeping us accountable and reminded of the upcoming follow-up appointments we had together. We greatly appreciate all that Beatrice and Helen have done in bringing us peace of mind and taking care of us.

What was the problem that you had before you called our law firm?
I had many issues with my Vehicle but most of all trying to get a call back from an attorney was the hardest thing. So many out of area attorneys not very helpful was the WORST!!!!!

I bought a factory-certified 2017 Kia Sorento in fall 2018 from a local dealer.
In June 2023 at 55,000 miles, I first noticed a burnt oil smell when driving my car. The Kia developed an oil consumption problem and started burning 1-quart of oil internally each week, without any external visible trace.
I took my car to the Carlsbad Kia dealer, who performed all the service on it, and explained this latest problem. I brought it there several times through the end of 2023, hoping for resolution.
While still under factory warrant, the dealer said there was little they could do for me. They advised me to drive the car until the engine died and gave me the phone number to report my problem to Kia America HQ.
Likewise, Kia America pushed back and said I need to resolve it through the dealer. Feeling frustrated, I filed a complaint with the federal highway agency, NHTSA.
In January 2024, a family member had problems with a new hybrid Jeep Wrangler he bought and enlisted help from San Diego Lemon Law attorney Doug Sohn. That family member encouraged me to contact Doug’s office to see if they could also help my case.
In late January, I followed-up and filed an inquiry on the law firm’s website. One week later, they contacted me to set up an initial background call with attorney Doug Sohn.
I explained the whole problem to Doug who said he’d research this problem with other Kia owners and report back to me if he felt we had a valid case.
In February, Doug contacted me after his research, he felt I had a valid claim and agreed to take my case. We held a brief follow-up call to review how their firm proceeds on these cases, how valuation of my vehicle and their compensation works, and sent me forms to sign.
His staff asked me to submit several documents about my purchase of the car, title, service receipts, etc. Two weeks later, Doug provided me with initial draft of his letter to Kia America, outlining my case as supported by his research of this oil problem with Kia and Hyundai vehicles. His letter requested that they buy back my car, based on my damaged engine and unreliability of the frequent need for oil.
In April, my relative settled his claim with Jeep through Doug’s help and received full reimbursement for his problematic new vehicle.
In May, we received Kia’s acceptance of Doug’s proposal to buy back my Kia Sorento. I was overjoyed, with a great sense of relief on that news. The law firm warned me that Kia is not the fastest to resolve these cases and said it would take about 120 days to be completed.
As I drove the car for another four months, I kept replenishing oil into the engine every 1 to 2 weeks based on my driving. The car was becoming more unreliable, and it actually blew a cylinder during my last month of ownership.
By October, Kia finally arranged a date for me turn-in my car at the local Kia dealer, working with a 3rd party firm who handles these arrangements for Kia America. In early November, the law firm received payment from Kia, and Doug sent my check for agreed settlement amount.
Overall, I was extremely pleased with the law firm’s detailed follow-through and steady communication. The staff kept me informed regularly on the progress of my claim.
If you have a ‘lemon’ problem with your vehicle, I highly recommend contacting San Diego Lemon Law Attorney. Doug Sohn has decades of experience dealing with auto makers on their defective vehicles, and he’ll fight on your behalf to make it right for you! You’ll lay out No Funds for their service, as they are reimbursed by the auto manufacturers.

Mr. Berkley answered my phone call within hours of receiving my online message, and was able to jump in with his expert insights at a crucial moment of my life. He went above and beyond to provide objective feedback and information on how to move forward with a housing matter, and he was the most helpful and supportive attorney I have interacted with. I previously reached out to several other law firms, and the likelihood of a simple resolution seemed impossible. In 20 minutes, Mr. Berkley gave me a thorough appraisal of my situation, advised my options, and potential legal impacts and outcomes that I would have never considered. He gave advice to resolve the issue in a way that would benefit me, without increasing hostility between myself and the property owner. The core value of the advice was to resolve the issue seamlessly, quickly, effectively, and most importantly, move on with my life, which is exactly the values I would want in an attorney. I ended the phone call feeling reassured and equipped to move forward with dignity and a calm demeanor. This is the attorney you will want by your side, who also explains everything in detail, breaks down jargon you may not understand, and makes the process a better learning experience. Mr. Berkley was a beacon of hope, and I hereby recommend him without reservation.

I can’t say enough good things about attorney Gene and attorney Ryan at Sullivan & Sullivan! After a long and challenging journey with my case, I’m thrilled to say it’s finally over. There were so many ups and downs along the way, and at times, I felt like giving up. But Gene and Ryan were there every step of the way, offering the expertise, confidence, and support I needed to keep going.
I’m so grateful for attorney Jenna’s referral because choosing Sullivan & Sullivan was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. These two attorneys are exceptional at what they do! The care and compassion they have showed me during the entire process made all the difference from sending me to the best doctors for my medical care.
Thank you both for everything! The closure and success of my case will not have been possible without you.
God Bless… I Highly recommend Sullivan & Sullivan.

Posting class action claims, claiming a solar company is committing fraud to sell arbitration cases that don’t require a lawyer. Contract literally states on front page they the length of contract term and being non-cancelling. They are stealing money from clients they’re not licensed to defend and know they can’t defend. They tried stealing from me.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.
What Does a Mediation Lawyer Do?
A mediation lawyer provides a range of services to help clients resolve disputes through negotiation and mutual agreement. Their responsibilities often include:
- Representing your interests: Acting as your advocate during mediation to ensure your rights are protected and you understand your legal options.

- Facilitating communication: Helping to facilitate open and constructive dialogue between parties to clarify points of contention.
- Negotiating settlements: Assisting in negotiating fair and balanced settlement terms that are in your best interest.
- Drafting mediation agreements: Preparing the official mediation agreement that outlines the terms of the settlement, which is often legally binding.
- Avoiding litigation: Aiming to reach a settlement that eliminates the need for a court trial, saving time and resources for both parties.
- Handling complex legal issues: Explaining the legal implications of various settlement terms in cases with complicated legal matters.
How Are Mediation Lawyers Paid?
Mediation lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the time involved. Common payment methods include:
- Hourly rate: Charging an hourly fee ranging from $150 to $500 or more, depending on experience and case complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler mediations, some lawyers may offer a flat fee covering all legal work involved in the process.
- Retainer: In ongoing or complex cases, a retainer may be required as an upfront payment billed against as work progresses.
Discuss fees and payment structures with your lawyer during the initial consultation to understand the cost of mediation services.
How Much Does a Mediation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a mediation lawyer depends on several factors, including the case's complexity, the lawyer’s experience, and the time required to resolve the dispute. General cost estimates include:
- Hourly rates: Typically between $150 and $500 per hour.
- Flat fees: For simple mediations, fees may range from $1,000 to $5,000.

Always request a detailed cost estimate during your consultation to understand total expenses.
Top Questions to Ask a Mediation Lawyer
Before hiring a mediation lawyer, consider asking the following questions:
-
What experience do you have with mediation cases like mine?
Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in handling similar disputes. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the fee structure and request an estimate based on your specific case. -
What is the likelihood of resolving my case through mediation?
Seek an honest assessment of whether mediation is suitable for your situation. -
How long will the mediation process take?
Inquire about the expected timeline and number of sessions required. -
Will you personally handle my case?
Confirm who will manage your mediation and represent your interests. -
Can we pursue alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if necessary?
Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
