I lost $8k to Figueroa, their non-refundable retainer, for an uncontested divorce with literally almost nothing to show for it but a tremendous amount of stress and the near-constant feeling of abandonment by my lawyer. It was extremely stressful trying to get anything done through Figueroa. Possibly Figueroa's most aggravating habit was a the following loop, which characterized the 7 months I suffered under Figueroa:
1) My wife's attorney would reply with new requirements,
2) I would incorporate them, write my full reply & sent it to Figueroa to type into their master document. Figueroa uses a locked format that I (the client) cannot edit.
3) Figueroa would ignore me generally for about a week.
Note, this consisted of me sending Figueroa my reply with Figueroa charging me 1/10th hour ($35) to acknowledge receipt of my email, but no indication if or when Figueroa would do anything about it. I learned to email them every day ($35 charged each email with nothing to show for it); I had to bug them daily or they completely forgot about me for literally weeks at a time.
4) Once Figueroa did incorporate my response and sent it to me for proofreading (my requirement), the Figueroa reply almost invariably incorporated serious typos that I had to fix. Because the client cannot access the Figueroa format, I had to wait, and wait, for the paralegal (or whoever) to change her mistake. They had a different paralegal respond to me almost each time, so there was usually no continuity and I had to update each new paralegal almost weekly, costing a new amount each time.
- This Figueroa cycle of ignoring me for a week at a time or longer made an already stressful situation much worse; it was clear Figueroa did not have my back. They didn't even know my back was there! They still charged 1/10th hour each time I called or emailed, which turned out to be a fruitless endeavor on my part).
This stretched on for 6 months; a significant part of this was fixing their own mistakes since they couldn't seem to type.
My ex-wife and I reached final agreement after the ex increasing her demands 7 times in writing, but I could not get Figueroa to type it into their form.
So I fired Figueroa, after it was clear I was so low on their priority list that I was not worth a reply. Apparently they make their $$ in litigation so if you have an uncontested divorce, use the lawyer I replaced Figueroa with, which started from scratch (using her own forms), charged less than half the Figueroa retainer, and had me legally divorced in one month. My impression of Figueroa is they are a very unfocused, disorganized office, with a different person replying every time - if they replied at all. Nearly impossible to speak to my attorney there; she was almost always too busy to talk to me. Overall, a very bad experience that was completely avoidable.

The Figueroa Law Group is phenomenal! From start to finish my case was very organized. When I had questions, I got answers. Along with advice on how to conduct myself during a very stressful divorce case. When opposing councils met at trial, it was very clear who you wanted on your side! Many thanks to the entire Figueroa team for your commitment to me and the accomplishment of our goals!

I was in a battle for my children with an ex-husband with a bottomless wallet & the best attorney in his town. Well, I got the best attorney in my town with Diana. She listened, referenced law books, looked over all the documents I took to her (a few inches thick) and we hired her. She always stayed in touch and now our kids are our kids. My ex-husband has NO rights to the children. It's as if he never existed. I am proud to say that my oldest child has her Master's Degree in Social Work, helping abused and PTSD youth, while our son has Autism, he is an adventure everyday (and safe, THANK YOU DIANA), and our youngest just graduated High School and is on her way to college. I could not recommend a more professional and caring law firm and attorney than Diana Figueroa and The Figueroa Law Group, P.A. We are forever thankful to you.

First I would like to thank my attorney Diana Figueroa for her time, her professionalism & knowledge of the process, for her caring & understanding, and most of all for making me feel like family. Without going into details about my case and the hardships that I’ve been through, Ms. Figueroa has helped and guided me every step of the way to get me through this difficult times. The entire staff are very smart, understanding and caring. Without you, throughout this process, I do not know where my daughter, my son and myself would have been right now. You are my guardian angel. God Bless you.

I retained 2 attorneys at this practice over the past 2+ years. Nearly $20,000 spent. It took over a year to get child support and a trial date. Then my attorney left the practice and no one notified me. My trial was cancelled due to covid-19 and my date was never rescheduled! Nor was I notified of the courts reopening. It took weeks to get responses and sometimes deadlines were missed, because they failed to notify me of opposing councils settlement offers and discovery requests. The only time I received regular communication was when they wanted more money.

I met Diana Figueroa approximately a year and 1/2 ago when we both joined a national group of like-minded attorneys. During that time I had the opportunity to meet with Diana on a regular basis via Zoom.
I have found it to be thoughtful, engaging, knowledgeable, ethical and wise.
I would highly recommend her without qualification.
