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.

According to my experience with them so far I have felt like I am the one who was trying to defense my own right. They gave you a hope to think that you may have a chance to win the case from the consultation but he gave our case to his assistant and his assistant told us to save the lawyer fee because the other party doesn't have a job and money if so they can tell us from the beginning during the consultation. The only thing I can say is good luck if you hire them.

Joseph Land gives his clients the attention they deserve and gets the results you want. I highly recommend the land legal group for any family law issues.

I am so blessed I found Joe. Since day one he was very patient, helpful, understanding, took his time to answer all my questions and concerns. Everything he told me he did and much more.

Land Legal Group took my case when others wouldn't. I reached out to five other firms and Joseph was the only one who took interest in my case. My only regret is that I didn't engage his service sooner. I felt supported and respected throughout the case. It was great working with Joseph and Alexandria, their efforts on my behalf was appreciated. I was always informed of the process and what to expect. I completely trusted them. I highly recommend Land Legal Group and will recommend to anyone I know in need of legal service.

So grateful to have found Joseph Land and his team. He has helped me with my on going child custody case for years now, starting in 2017.

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.

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.

    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.

Horrible service. Felt like he was on my husbands side the whole time. Wasted $5000 on nothing. I had to keep calling to see what was happening with my case. Could not confine in him. Charged me for ridiculous work, calls and emails. I ended up going back with my husband and stopped the divorce/case. I suggest a real lawyer. My husbands, Gille Kaye Law Group, PC . Pasadena CA. Great people nice and actually wanna do the work and help. They even gave back my husband his half deposit back $2,700. Unlike these people rip off, there only in it for the money.

We had multiple cases to face while Michael was representing me, and we literally won all of them. He maintained good communication an always worked with me when it came to money. Not once did he stress me about paying him etc. He fought for my daughter and I, and I could not thank him enough. It was a very stressful situation for many reasons, and having Michael represent me made me feel at ease, ESPECIALLY after the first hearing and seeing how well he prepped etc. We went up against a “high rated” attorney etc with a great amount of experience, and it looked like Michael was the one with decades of experience and confidence. I highly recommend Michael! Thank you all from Michael to his amazing office staff! This year battle has finally concluded because of a job well done!

Michael and his team are exemplary professionals. Michael listens intently to his client's needs, and acts with compassion and sincerity. Michael delivers practical, no-nonsense advice. He is very good at what he does, and has a great team around him. They will take care of you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Whitmarsh Family Law. Michael has continuously gone above and beyond to provide the best service for me. When I first retained Michael as my attorney I was in a really tough spot and needed some legal help on an extremely tight timeline. He was able to make time for me right away and I was in his office preparing paperwork and within a couple hours of contacting him. He continued to work on my case well into the evening to make sure that everything was done correctly and ready to be filed with the court in the morning. He walked me through the process step by step and made sure I understood and was comfortable with each decision. He has continued to provide this level of service for almost 2 years now as my case continues to progress. He promptly responds to any emails or calls and is very good about checking in with me from time to time to make sure I don’t have any questions or need anything. From his work it is obvious the amount of care and attention he puts into everything he does. I have been impressed with his skills when arguing in court, his writing skills, and his overall ability to see the big picture of a case and formulate a long term strategy that best serves me. He spent several long days in the courtroom with me on my case and having him arguing my side made me feel comfortable and certain that I was going to get the best possible result.

I needed help with my custody case and found Michael Whitmarsh after a long list of searches. I went for a consult and asked as much questions about his experience and history with similar cases. I found Michael to be very knowledgeable and professional. Michael has been very helpful with my case year after year.

I have the pleasure of working with Richard Evanns as co-counsel and have had cases against him involving collection matters. Richard is a very diligent thorough and knowledgeable attorney. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dependable collection attorney.

Richard Evanns settled a major outstanding debt owed to my business. He is super professional and great to work with. We will be working with his firm again.

Mr. Evans was very generous with his time speaking with me today regarding a small claims case and offered invaluable advice although I did not meet the minimum requirement for his representation. However, he did give me phone numbers to a few colleagues that may be able to help me with my case. Very appreciative of his honesty and referrals. Highly recommended!

I'm a personal injury attorney and Mr. Evanns helped me enforce and collect on a judgment I obtained against a defendant. Mr. Evanns was professional and very knowledgeable and was able to obtain the full amount of the judgment in a very short period of time. Thank you.

I've used Richard for multiple judgment collection matters for my clients. He is very reasonable with his rates, works quickly, efficiently, and effectively, and always communicates promptly. He is very experienced in the area of judgment collection and knows many different tactics and strategies to collect judgments from even the most tricky of debtors. Richard is aggressive with his collection tactics and is not deterred by the usual games and defenses that debtors use. I would highly recommend Richard to anybody that has a judgment that needs collection, as Richard is the best person for the job.

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

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.

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!

WOW is the first word that comes to mind about Warren.  I had a tough case fighting for custody of my teenager.  It is hard to enforce custody orders when your child is older and it was imperative to have enforceable orders as the clock was running out.  His orders along with Ex Parte's to get the job done in the shortest time we could do, were amazing.  Warren knew just the orders to ask for that were enforceable.  If you are coming from your heart as a parent for the best interest of your child, taking steps towards that goal consistently and with determination. Warren can help you move forward as soon as possible for the best interest of your child.  I highly recommend him so very much!! I highly recommend him so very much!!

Warren did a fine job. I think we worked together, and communicated well, as a team. We established three or four key points. Gathered facts and data, and presented those in very clear, almost irrefutable Exhibits. Being as highly motivated as I was to win this case, I was willing to put in whatever hours were needed to generate documents that supported the arguments as Mr. Shiell indicated. All in all, the outcome was better than I had hoped.

Warren is conscientious, reliable, intelligent, and professional. He did great work for me and I'd happily work with him again in the future. He explained everything to me clearly in terms I could understand, and followed through with excellent results. His knowledge and experience in family law is unrivaled - some of his work has become case law! In fact, the lawyer on the other side of the table clearly respected Warren very highly, which helped resolve things very quickly and effectively.

Warren Shiell did an excellent job representing me. He clearly knows his subject matter inside and out, and is highly articulate in his arguments. I found him to be not only very responsive but also proactive, as well as reliable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend Warren in any matter regarding family law. He is very smart, an expert in the field and an excellent person to have on your side.

I hired Warren Shiell to deal with a relatively straightforward matter involving the renegotiation of the final stages of my divorce agreement. While the legal aspects were not complicated, I needed someone who could help me plan out a strategy in advance (I came to him almost six months before a deadline mandated in the agreement) and be sensitive to the psychology of the situation. I’m sorry to report he was inattentive both to the case and to the notes I gave him about dealing with my ex, was difficult to reach, called out of the blue only when it suited him, failed to draft a proposal letter as I repeatedly ask him to do and then, with just a few weeks to go before deadline, disappeared on vacation for a month without any forewarning. The one document he produced was a strategy sheet, which largely reproduced work done by a forensic accountant (for which I had paid separately) and proved to be almost entirely unusable after I hired a new – fabulous, efficient, attentive and effective – attorney. After I dismissed him, it took him more than a month to provide a final billing and a check for the balance of my retainer, and then only after repeated reminders that became necessarily more insistent. In the wake of his dismissal, he charged three times as much for the last month as he had for previous four. He insisted he had charged me correctly for the work he put in, but I saw scant evidence that that was the case. I was deeply disappointed because Mr. Shiell came warmly recommended as a tough but fair-minded divorce lawyer who charged reasonable rates and gave clients their money’s worth. That was not my experience, on any front. Perhaps he didn’t find my case all that interesting. If so, he should have turned me down and/or referred me elsewhere, not wasted my time and my money. Others beware.
