The whole journey I had for getting a permanent residency in US was been a roller coaster but through the help of Atty. Kenneth Reyes and his law firm I made it within a year.(Covid-19 or pandemic year). In 2016, my 1st application for permanent residency was denied due to lack of evidence of extreme hardship for my husband, it is with different lawyer. I already gave up but we still decided to reapply again after a year. My husband uncle refer us to Atty. Kenneth Reyes and his law firm. He is knowledgeable, highly competent and ready to help. He explained to us very well my case would be and how they will help me in getting my green card. During the application process, Ms. San Lachica was been so helpful, every phone call i made she's been there without any hesitation to answer all my questions and being so patient for gathering all my documents. Ms. Gabriella Castro is so kind and brilliant, she represented me during my interview. After a week of interview, I received a phone call from Atty Reyes, he told us that my application for Fraud waiver and Permanent Residency was been approved, I can't contain my happiness because I've been waiting for this moment for 5 years. I highly recommend Atty Kenneth Reyes and his Law Firm regarding immigration matters. I can guarantee, you would not regret every cents you pay, its all worth it. GODBLESS and Thank you so much for helping me reach my dreams.

Being in a tough situation, I did not know where to begin to file for divorce when my marriage was dissolving. I didn’t know where to file either since I live in Texas and respondent in California. Kenneth Reyes Law Firm was the first listing when I went to Google search. Mr. Reyes was willing to assist me in my long-distance divorce. A member of his staff, Gabriella Castro, was very instrumental in handling our back and forth communications and I was always able to speak to a live person when I needed help. Mr. Reyes and his staff are always caring, compassionate and professional. They explained each process that would happen and each step to be taken so I understood what was happening at all times. I knew payment was going to be an obstacle but the firm made allowances until my house was sold. Mr. Reyes was able to win on my behalf in unexpected challenges, e.g. respondent didn’t want to pay me for community property but Mr. Reyes’ firm took legal action and was able to find and win those funds for me. I would highly recommend the services of Kenneth Reyes Law Firm to anyone. Mr. Reyes and his staff will definitely handle your case with the greatest of care.

First of all I would like to thank Attorney Reyes and everyone in Law offices of Kenneth Reyes. I am very happy that my divorce went faster than i expected. Attorney Reyes is very knowledgeable of what he is doing. On our first meeting , he explained what will be the process and everything i need to do . Which gave me confidence that it will go smoothly and it did! Again thank you very much Attorney Reyes, God bless you and the rest of the members of your firm. LE

I am so overwhelmingly grateful for the efficient service of this law firm that helped me in my divorce case. Atty. Kenneth Reyes is definitely a very great lawyer as well as his associates. To Ms. Saniata Lachica, for all the guidance from the start up to the end and most especially Atty. Gabriella Castro who is very trustworthy and acted promptly to achieve our desired result. From the bottom of my heart, God bless and more power to your law office!

Thank you to my two attorneys who handled my case . Atty. Kenneth you’ve been very patient and “masipag “ diligent working out . You solved the big problem . I’m very proud of you “ as my fellow Filipino , you deserved all the merits . God bless your office forever . Thank you . From tom jen

Karen did an amazing job with a very difficult case. Coming from a family of attorneys it takes a lot to impress me and Karen always did. Definitely happy she was on my side and made me feel like I was getting the best advocate out there.

Karen Brown is by far the best family law attorney I have ever worked with!! I was working with a couple of attorneys from San Diego that completely ruined my current family custody case. My previous attorneys took advantage of my situation and didn't do anything in my best interest and against by wishes. Karen Brown sat down with me and helped me regain control of my case, my handle on life and my world which is my son. She spent countless hours rebuilding my case to make it the strongest possible. Not only was my case extremely well put together but she did an excellent job in the courtroom; this resulted in the judge granting me everything I requested and a few additional last minute additions. As a result of her strong litigation skills and abilities to build the strongest case possible, I was granted more time with my son which will allow me to give him the attention he deserves from his father and allow me to mentor him into being an upstanding citizen and human being. I also requested for my son to have my last name, and due to Karen Brown's extensive knowledge of the legal system and tough litigation skills, I was allowed to change his last name to mine which will allow him to carry on my family name and legacy. I would recommend Karen Brown's legal services to anyone seeking a strong family law attorney and have done so on many occasions. If you are looking for or are in need of a strong attorney make sure you stop by and visit her first. She will go out of her way to help you and your loved ones as well as ensure you have the strongest case possible before stepping into the courtroom or into out of court negotiations. She is invested in her clients and their best interest.

I had 5 attorneys before I I hired Karen Brown. I had spent a lot of money and had gotten nothing. Two of my lawyers worked with my ex wife's lawyers and I was sent down the river without a paddle. Karen took a difficult case and fought for me because she cared about the children and believed me. Karen is ethical and truly represents her client with loyalty.. Thank you Karen Brown that I now spend such wonderful times with my two daughters.

I wish divorce on nobody. It is about one of the ugliest things one can experience; but, of course, it is also one of life's unfortunate realities. Because of its inflammatory nature, who you have in your corner fighting for you is crucial. I had an unusual case in that I was already divorced (foolishly I was unrepresented in the initial proceedings) but my ex-wife was planning on relocating with my children to a different city (without my consent). Because I had no representation the first time around, I got completely squeezed financially with a support schedule I couldn't handle, and I needed it reduced legally. I interviewed three other divorce attorneys before a friend recommended Beverly Hills family law specialist Karen Brown. Every attorney I spoke with told me that I had a case, but Karen got the ball rolling immediately. She demonstrated her expertise in the area of family law, and I could tell that she was tough, and that's what I wanted, as I was dealing with some irresponsibly ruthless people and needed somebody strong by my side. Karen was definitely that. She was tough on me too, which was good because she prepared me for the difficult questions I would surely face in court (and which I did). Karen was thorough and always open for communication. Although it wasn't cheap (I only bring this up so you don't fool yourself in believing there will be an inexpensive way out, as some family law attorneys will lead you to believe. It just isn't so), she was mindful of my financial situation and allowed me to take care of anything I could that would keep costs down. When it became apparent that the other side was not willing to negotiate on any issue, Karen was an excellent strategist, making moves that ultimately secured our argument--I could not have asked for more. Come game day, Karen was prepared and solid in the courtroom, and everything turned out alright. Although I was unsuccessful at stopping the relocation, I received a great custody schedule--fair with time made up during summer for that which I'd lose as a result of the move away--my support obligation was lowered to a more reasonable schedule, and most importantly my ex-wife learned that she couldn't just arbitrarily and unilaterally make decisions regarding the children without a strong response from Karen's office, which ultimately has kept her in check. Again I say I wouldn't wish divorce on anyone, but if it is unavoidable, you need a strong professional in your corner, someone who understands family law comprehensively and who will be there for you during tough times, and not just dump you off on an inexperienced associate. I cannot recommend Los Angeles divorce attorney Karen Brown highly enough. For one of the most important decisions you may ever make--hire Karen Brown: you will not be disappointed.

david d. david d. Los Angeles, CA 1 friend 3 reviews Share review Embed review Edit review 5.0 star rating 5/17/2018 Karen Brown was a godsend for me in my divorce case. Prior to hiring Karen, I had 5 attorneys, and $100,000 later. Two of these unethical attorneys betrayed me and worked with my ex's attorneys. The other 3 were useless and were intimidated by ex's attorneys. My ex came from lots of family money and very legally savvy and played the divorce court game extremely well. She hired two and three attorneys at a time, and they lied and coerced, and pressured me to agree to their demands. When Karen came on the scene, things changed for me and my children. She believed me and in me, and in the truth, and never gave an inch to the requests of my ex's attorneys. She stood strong and in the end the judge saw the true picture. I now enjoy great times with my two daughters, the two most important people in my life. Thanks to Karen's ethical standards, and care for the truth, and what is good for the children my life looks far brighter than it did when I had the worst representation with the previous 5 attorneys. Thank you, Karen Brown.

We may not be happy with our outcome but I can not hold this firm at fault. I am thankful for Mrs Wong and the firm. I know the system was against us from the gate and you did your best... Thank you guys for your effort and also for straightening out the charges. My wife and I appreciate it . We wish your firm all the best and will recommend others to you. You were all extremely pleasant people. Thank you and God bless

Charlene Wong represented me in my child support case at Claery & Hammond, LLP, and I am very pleased with her work. In addition to being sympathetic, Charlene was also very professional. Throughout the case, she always kept me updated on the case and answered all my questions. Even when she was not available, her colleague Timothy McArdle was very professional and made me feel like I was the highest priority. Brianda Edwards, the paralegal, was also excellent. It is recommended that you utilize this law firm.

From the beginning and through two years in the court system, dealing with delays with Covid-19 the Claery & Hammond Law Firm was there all the way. Attorney Medill work with me and presented different approaches to succeed in winning the case. Attorney Joel Acuario presented the case at trial. Outstanding attorney when it came down to the issue at hand. Just want to thank everyone at the Claery & Hammond Law Firm.

I found Claery and Hammon law firm when I was searching for a divorce attorney online. During the initial phone consultation, Mr. Claery help me feel at ease, and assured me that his firm would do their very best. My representing attorney was Joel Acuario. From the very beginning, I felt his compassion and sincerity in his representation. Their office staff, Brianna, Teresa were very professional and kept informed of all filings and court dates. I definitely recommend this firm for representation.

Rebecca was my attorney. Really great attorney she helped me to stay grounded with my situation. She was even my in between person. Thank you for make me feel protected and defending me.

Thank you Terry for helping me during my divorce as it was one of the hardest things for me. Because you took the time to listen to my case you handled my divorce in the best manner possible. Not only did you look out for me but you also looked out for my children. Thank you for being the wonderful person you are and a great attorney. The twins and I love you

She is very attentive, very professional, and very caring. You hear all these scary stories about attorneys being soulless creatures. Teresa crushes all those rumors. She listens to every concern you have and tries her best to get it done in a timely manor. I even received calls and emails over the weekend from her so she can get things done. She’s worth every penny.

Teresa Beyers handled my divorce and child custody case and i received everything i was asking for. I appreciated the extra attention and how she explained everything to me in a simple way so i would understand it. Highly recommend! Bruce M Soto

Terry Beyers was so compassionate in my sensitive case. I'm sure she has heard so many stories but listensed to my story as if it was her first time hearing about my type of case. When I had questions and contacted her by text, she would respond rapidly. I highly recommend her.

Mrs Beyers is the rarity in Family Law. She does not over reach and tells the truth about a massively broken system. She puts children first, and tries to get both sides to get to their separate futures. My divorce was a worst case scenario, and Mrs Beyers was brought in on limited scope to salvage what was gross misconduct by all against her client. She guided me (the father) to the places i need to be and is retained for support matters. As it only takes one to make a nasty divorce and my ex is that one.

    She is very attentive, very professional, and very caring. You hear all these scary stories about attorneys being soulless creatures. Teresa crushes all those rumors. She listens to every concern you have and tries her best to get it done in a timely manor. I even received calls and emails over the weekend from her so she can get things done. She’s worth every penny.

Best attorney ever! She is an amazing person. I found her based on her good reviews on google. I can’t believe what she has done for me so far. She knows everything and she is a very experienced attorney. I was totally lost, and she helped me to solve my problem. I had a divorce case with a bunch of narrow areas, but she helped me to finish that chaos. She is very responsible and loyal to her work. She won’t waste your time. She won’t charge you extra or for nothing.( this is a very important part, usually you get charges from your attorney and you don’t even know why!? But you won’t get that kind of experience from her.) I wish I had more space to write plenty of good things about her. She is awesome. I love her, and I feel she is one of my family members because she always cared about me and my family. Thank you Jacki, and wish the best for you.

Jackie is a Grate attorney, strong and know what she is doing, she working on my sister's complicated case, so we feel like we can rely on her and achieve right goals.

Jackie is the best attorney you can have by your side. She is very knowledgeable, caring and straight forward. I am very grateful that I found her for my case.

First off, Jackie A is the best lawyer I have worked with. My case got so messy to the point where multiple lawyers were involved before her, but she was amazing. She was honest and real about everything in my case. She definitely knows what she's doing and does it in a great way. I've recommended her to others and have heard nothing but the best about her. I would highly recommend her to anybody that needs a lawyer.

I was introduced to Jackie by her former client with high recommendation. Jackie took her time to explain the process by addressing all the issues I had. Jackie has helped me to navigate thru the divorce process by advising me what my expectations should be from the legal point of view by weeding out my emotional driven expectations. She kept me informed at every stages of the process. She communicated very well and replied to my phone calls promptly. I was able to witness Jackie’s ability to keep the legal fees at a minimum which was well integrated with her dedication to win the case in a timely manner. She is detail oriented, very knowledgeable, and skillful. Jackie is a lawyer I highly recommend for anyone going through a divorce. Thanks Jackie

I have always believed in giving credit where it is due. I must say that hands down, Michael Nathans is certainly a top notch Family Law Attorney. He is very passionate, professional, experienced and extremely skilled at what he does. His counsel and expertise have proven to be so very valuable. Anyone who has found themselves facing divorce knows that it is one of the most difficult, devastating, confusing times of your life. Having an attorney that I can talk to, one of such high caliber helping me to navigate through these rough waters has allowed me to breathe and sleep a little easier. My case has been a very difficult one and Attorney Michael Nathans has been with me every step of the way. I am very grateful for all of the hard work that he and his amazing staff have done and for all of the victories we've had. If you are looking for the very best , Attorney Michael Nathans is it......The Very Best !!!

My story is quite simple but serves as a cautionary tale for all single parents going through legal difficulties within the family law system. Five years ago, I was advised to seek mediation services as I was going through divorce proceedings. The advice I received was to be a 'nice guy', work with the other parent in order to resolve issues, create a mutually fair court order and seek child development services from third parties. But, after going down that road for many years and realizing that my father's rights were being trampled upon and outright ignored, I finally had enough and decided to seek the services of Michael Nathans. My results may be an outlier, but within 8 weeks, we had a court date, documents prepared, forms filed and everything finalized. I was able to obtain 50-50 custody of my son along with resolving many issues that had previously been ignored. We now had a signed court order that was fair and I attribute this amazing outcome solely to Michael's hard work, diligence, tremendous speed and work ethic. After availing myself of his services, I realized that I had made a mistake previously (with the other mediator). My son and I wasted many years of our lives trying to seek a fair outcome. Michael proved to be a STRONG advocate for me and fought hard for my rights. Therefore, if you're in the same boat and find yourself with seemingly insurmountable issues, hire Mr. Nathans ASAP and don't make the same mistake I did long ago. You will not be disappointed !!!

I hired Michael about 2 years ago, even though he is on the pricey side it was money well spent! While working with Michael it was obvious he is confident and determined to conquer each case. In addition, his office is clean and his staff is welcoming and professional. I definitely will not think twice about hiring Michael again. Thank you Michael and staff for your hard work! *HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!* -Maricela H.

This man saved my life. If I had 1,000,000.00 I wouldn't heir anyone else to represent me. Michael makes it happen. Love you Michael for the amazing attorney you are. Thanks for everythingyou have done for my son and I

Michael is no doubt an exceptionally brilliant and highly skilled lawyer that I have came across. The way he leads the case in the court is truly impressive. His strategy on each aspect of the case is crystal clear and his execution plan focuses on meeting all the client needs. He doesn’t leave any minute details and bring up solid arguments throughout the trial to prove his point. I do like his strategy of bringing up out of the box ideas and thinking beyond the case to find out more information which we never thought of before. He has been very much involved with us and set the right focus for us that helped us to do better prepare for the case. I don’t have any doubt that if we did not have Michael’s support we would have been very unlucky. He opened totally new dimensions for us in a marriage annulment case that he fought for us. He led the case very strongly from the beginning in an efficient, strategic and calculated manner. Not only he worked out several options with us to proceed but also guided us how the case can be settled out of the court. His command in the court and approach towards opposite counsel was phenomenal. He not only understands the dynamics of the case but also the psychology of opposite party and acts accordingly. He is well aware of all the emotional aspects and its outcomes in the trial while at the same time he knows how to tackle and elaborate what is normally overlooked. We are still waiting for the final decision in our case, but we are very happy that we made a sound decision to hire him. The efforts he put in our case and his passion to win is what impressed us the most. He never sits idle for few minutes and doesn’t take things lightly and fight as hard as possible till the end. We have learned a lot while working with him especially what to look for if you are planning to hire the best lawyer for your case. Michael is a very nice individual too and an easy to work with person who is always approachable and ready to help you out. I would definitely hire him again if needed and he will be my only recommendation to someone looking for a lawyer to represent him/her in civil court.

I interned at this law firm from August until now. Taryn may has to be one of the worse supervisors I have worked for at this law firm. She hardly responds, it takes her forever to get back to my emails, she has no empathy even when she knows she’s wrong she will not apologize on her behalf. I had a hard time with scheduling with this supervisor, It’s not a professional setting because they do as they please. Taryn, let me go because I missed one appointment, my parking took forever to get my reimbursement, and I had complain about her. If you’re looking for an internship don’t do it here because as I mentioned people line her don’t care she shouldn’t be a supervisor here.

I wish I had a better experience. Everyone was very welcoming and were ready and willing to help, but I waited to be seen 6 hours (10am-4pm) only for them to tell me they couldn't help me. I wish they would have told me at the beginning so that I didn't have to waist a whole day. Especially because I had to pay someone to babysit.

I have volunteered at the Center for going on 15 years. The Center provides highest quality legal assistance to low income Californians who have great needs to help them navigate the family law court system in order to achieve a fair, just and equitable resolution in their legal matters. The Center’s highly qualified staff attorneys and other employees and their network of volunteers in the community provide the highest level of legal care and services. Their mission is devoted to removing barriers, and facilitating access, to the family law justice system.

Nice and helpfull staff. Really hear you out.

HBFLC is a well run organization that depends on a host of volunteers. The organization has a relatively easy way of plugging in and helping on as much of a frequent basis as your schedule allows. The work they do is much needed and is a great resource.

I cannot say enough to express my satisfaction and positive experience in regards to Boyd Law. My experience with Karie Boyd surpassed my expectations . She listened, cared, answered with detail, simplified the processes where I needed clarification, and was more responsive than I could have ever imagined. A true professional and top lawyer!

Divorce is not easy but hiring Stephen Chen was the best decision I made. He listened carefully to what I wanted and effectively obtained a favorable outcome for my case. No detail was overlooked in my divorce settlement and Stephen ensured my interests were protected. Stephen addressed all my concerns and questions, always responding promptly to emails and phone calls. He demonstrated an ability to respond with patience and provided guidance based on his professional knowledge. I would highly recommend Stephen for any area of family law!

Though dreadful, initiating my divorce was a necessary step towards healing. Early on, I committed myself to approach this process with compassion and Stephen’s vision allowed for that. In Stephen I found someone communicative, responsive, a true professional who understands that working efficiently and with a sense of urgency matters for someone going through an already difficult moment. Thank you Stephen and Valerie for your support and guidance!

Very professional and straightforward. My case was done without going to the court.

I hired Castellanos & Associates for a nasty custody case. My ex wanted to move from California with our daughter. Edwin and his staff went to work on my case with all hands-on deck, and I truly felt valued. Not only was I able to stop my daughter from leaving, but I was able to get a joint parenting plan. Along the way, I was kept informed and always felt that my case was a priority. I would highly recommend Castellanos & Associates and will continue to turn to them moving forward. Thanks so very much.

I had a very simple divorce matter that my husband decided to make more difficult and everyone in the firm went out of their way to help me, from giving me the best advice long before I retained their services to following through all the way to the end. Everyone to a person has been overly kind, considerate and helpful. I found the fees reasonable and even during this COVID 19 period, I appreciate the work and effort the law firm gives me. You would do exceptionally well if you retained this firm for your legal needs.

Amazing Service, Great Knowledge and Wisdom. Sincere and Trustworthy Service. Helpful Staff and Professional Advice. Thank you Castellanos & Associates for your superb service : )

I retained Castellanos & Associates in 2013. I was married for over 24 years. I had thought the case would be simple as we did not have any minor children. My husband had a good job and a pension. However, I was wrong. The case became very toxic. My ex hired a lawyer and wanted to fight about everything we owned, including not wanting to pay support. At one point, he told me that he wanted to leave me with nothing. Thank god for attorney Edwin Castellanos and his staff. They fought for me and made sure I received everything I was legally entitled to. My case lasted five years because my Husband would not settle and wanted to litigate everything. Mr. Castellanos has a very busy practice and is often in Court, but he explained that to me when I first hired him. I could have gone with another lawyer, but Mr. Castellanos was very patient with me and explained the entire process to me. I never felt that he had something else to do when he was with me. Even though my husband hired a very aggressive lawyer to intimidate me. I would say his lawyer was a loudmouth. Mr. Castellano's knowledge of family law won over the Judge. I found out through this case that it's not who is louder but smarter. I won my case because of the excellent work and preparation of Castellanos & Associates. Since my case ended, I have referred Edwin Castellanos to various friends and family, and I heard that they had received the same level of representation that I got. I wanted to write this review because I want other people going through the same thing I went through to get the best possible legal representation I got. I recommend entirely Castellanos & Associates.

Castellanos & Associates represented me in my divorce case. I worked primarily with Edwin Castellanos. His calm and empathetic demeanor throughout the entire process made him a pleasure to work with. I found Edwin to be easily accessible, and he would always respond to me as soon as possible. When he was in Court, I could always count on speaking with another member of his staff that was equally knowledgeable about my case. Castellanos & Associates were professional yet sensitive to the emotions surrounding my divorce. I am thankful to Edwin and his team and appreciate their work, and will certainly recommend his legal services without reservation.
