Yadira Ramirez is an excellent attorney. I was blindsided by false sexual assault allegations. Yadira was always calm, cool and collected. I felt she had my best intentions. She had a lot of patience when I got angry or upset because I didn't understand how the courts work, or how lawyers communicate with the courts, and also the laws. I felt more at ease once when she thoroughly explained how court proceedings take place. Although, I could not ever be fully at ease because of the implications in my case. We had evidence that showed my innocence. But even with that, I still felt anxiety because of how inconsistent the courts in America are. Yadira could have told me that I had a airtight case and that we were going to win in court. But she was honest and said that courts are unpredictable and that she can't guarantee a victory. Which I understand. But she also said that we do have good evidence and that would show favorably for me in court. Court was set for a Friday, and on Monday my accuser decided she wanted a consent agreement. I did not know what that was, and Yadira thoroughly explained what it was. The first draft of the consent agreement their attorney sent Yadira was bogus and unfair. Yadira told me to stand firm and not accept the terms. Yadira redlined the document an added language in my favor. Their side sent back another agreement, and Yadira once again said to stand my ground and not accept it... So finally 2 days before we're supposed to go to court. My accuser and her attorney caved and gave in to our terms and a much more favorable consent agreement, which ended up in a dismissal of my accuser's restraining order against me... I was extremely anxious and nervous the entire time, 3 months of absolute hell. Yadira gave me my life back and restored a little faith in the legal system. There are lawyers out there that 100% care about their clients and Yadira is absolutely one that cares. I recommend Yadira for any legal matters regarding restraining orders. Thank you Yadira

Thomas Ybarra is a highly organized and knowledgeable attorney and I'm so grateful for his attention to detail when it came to my divorce proceedings. He was always honest with me about what to expect and also heard me when I told him what I wanted/needed. He was able to successfully argue my position for sole custody of my two children, secure me spousal support and child support, and negotiate an agreement that allowed me to keep my house. His attention to my case was constant and I could always get ahold of him when I needed advice. I highly recommend Mr. Ybarra's counsel if you are looking for representation in a divorce or child custody case. He knows the law and is able to explain how the process works. He made my very volatile divorce bearable and having him in my corner was a complete godsend. No one truly wins in divorce, but in my case he got me a big win on paper. Grateful for his representation.

Thomas Ybarra has been an amazing lawyer for my case. Thomas is a great listener and knowledgeable about family law. Thomas made me feel very supported throughout the process. I would highly recommend Thomas as a lawyer.

It is so stressful to need legal help and to know where to start. They get it! I feel so taken care of and at ease with Gearing Rackner and McGrath Group. They are incredibly responsive and professional. I always appreciate their advice and work as their attentiveness is spot on! They got work done so quickly. I am so fortunate and grateful they are my team when I am in need. The outcome of my cases have been what I was striving for. Thanks so much!!

I contacted Andy Newsom for help with child custody. From the beginning, Andy was upfront with expectations and gave me a general layout of what to expect moving forward. Andy is a great communicator and has no issues making a complicated situation look easy. I had specific circumstances regarding my case and Andy knew exactly how to navigate every angle. Working with Andy definitely brought my stress level down, knowing that someone has your back in a highly stressful situation is imperative. I highly recommend Andy Newsom and his team, Also big Thanks to Linda. Thanks GRM!

Thought I could manage my divorce through mediation alone. Not until Adam Shelton came on board did I feel safe, supported, and fully informed. Huge shift from feeling overwhelmed and fearful to being proactive and productive - you need someone knowledgeable, experienced, hard working, and compassionate in your corner.

I would recommend Dave Gearing to anyone needing family law services. He helped guide me through a difficult family transition period, with the results in line with what he said would happen. He gave me the opportunity to save money by letting me do as much of the work as I was able to. Dave's wealth of experience showed through in his relationships with many of the major players in the process. He was creative when called for, calming in stressful times, and could help me step back and laugh occasionally from a broader perspective. His staff was great to work with, too. Dave is somebody you can trust to give you an accurate assessment, fight hard for your interests, and seek a fair resolution.

Andy and the rest of the team are impressive. They are receptive, thorough, friendly, and can somehow make really complicated matters simple to understand. Highly recommended!

I would highly recommend Adam Shelton to anyone looking for family legal representation. Adam is hard-working and reliable. While I know he was working with many clients, I always felt like a top priority. He was prompt at responding to me and answering all my questions. Adam is trustworthy and personable. He gave me sound legal advice and helped me make the most reasonable decisions in my situation. He was always well prepared and his knowledge and hard work paid off. Divorce is never easy but working with Adam helped make the best of a difficult situation.

Andy Newsom helped me navigate one of the worst times of my life. He understands the emotional toll while keeping an even keel. His “bed side manner” kept me confident and focused. He lays out your options and scenarios in layman terms and really puts a magnifying glass on the bigger picture as well as your future. This is uncharted territory for most of us. Many things I didn’t realize I had to consider. Andy was actually my second attorney and I interviewed quite a few. He was a champion for my interests without adding additional confrontation to an already contemptuous dynamic. After all, we have to rebuild a new functioning relationship with our children’s other parent. Mr. Newsom’s legal assistant is a true professional and the nicest person. This is not a situation we hope to find ourselves in, but I’m glad I had this team fighting for me.
