Stuart Walker is generous with his time and kind . During my initial consultation he agreed to a conference call with my two adult children and myself. He spent time answering all of our questions. He was successful in negotiating a positive and timely outcome for me in a difficult divorce situation. He is truly a "human being" not the typical image of an aggressive lawyer. His office staff was sensitive and responsive to my needs during a very emotional time. He got the job done. A number one. Thank you Stuart.

I have been navigating my divorce without an attorney for the last few months and have attempted to get information over the phone from different attorneys from time to time. Then I found this Stewart Walker and even though I am not a client of his he has ALWAYS taken time out of his day to answer my questions over the phone. I appreciate that he is willing to help without demanding a consulting fee or asking for me to come into the office to meet him face to face and all of the information he has given me has been very useful. Thank you!

Stuart and his team helped me navigate through a domestic issue (TRO) with the attention to detail and professional knowledge required to not only layout my side of the argument, but also find the flaws in the case against me. They were quick to answer questions, and eased my concerns throughout the process. If you are fighting for yourself or a loved one, this team has the experience necessary and can be trusted.

I have known Mr Walker over 20 years. He has given me very useful advice and recently explained a different legal view to a legal problem I had. I was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement based on his assistance.

I have found Mr. Walker to be competent with a careful approach to representing his clients. When I have needed a consultation, his office has always made time for me. Last I feel his fee for service is more reasonable then many other law offices I contacted.

Damian has retired and moved back to Ireland. We'll miss ya

Mr. Nolan is an exceptional lawyer when he represented me with my family law case. Not only with the outcome of my case but with how he approached the matter. He gave me the confidence I needed to hear with all the doubts I was having prior to retaining a lawyer. I had the opposite suggestion from a different lawyer prior to consulting with Mr. Nolan, which further made my doubts about winning the case even greater. His no-nonsense aggressive approach was beneficial to my case and I could not even imagine how my case could be it it wasn't for Mr. Nolan. The entire staff was helpful, and was always there when I had questions. I am so glad I retained Mr. Nolan's firm for my family law case.

I called in to more then likely retain mr. Nolan . I couldnt even get past the assistan who says her name is Molly. I repeatedly explain I have a family law matter out of downtown Los Angeles. As such a sensative matter I think a personal assistant plays a key role when retaining an attorney.

I made an appointment with Mr. Nolan based on the good reviews he has. I showed up early one hour not expecting to be seen but the staff was great and friendly and Mr. Nolan saw me within 10 minutes of me getting there. I was in and out very quickly very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and Mr. Nolan. He was very friendly and honest. I highly recommend anybody looking for an attorney to pay him a visit.

Mr. Nolan is an excellent attorney. He is very honest and on point his team are also amazing. I'm very happy with the outcome of my custody case with my 4 kids. He is the attorney you want by your side. I wish i could give 10 stars Thank you to Mr. Nolan and your team

It has been over 60 days since I have last seen my baby, and I had been oblivious to my rights, after working with Mr.Duron we were blind sided by a restraining order, after serving the mother of my child, we had to prepare quickly and we did so. We won the case and the restraining order was denied, he and his team has helped me so much throughout this process and I would suggest them out of anyone. Best pricing as well! They truly do love with they do and care about their clients. I would give them 10/10! I will not see my baby soon after not seeing her for long. Thank you.

I had Paul on my case and not only did he not respond to me as much as promised but he failed to succeed in my case then put a new person on my case without any information about me or even notifying me first then went to court and caused me to loose everything I gained nothing but a very bad experience that caused me to only have viking rights and loose all access to my child now I have to do even more running around just to see her most horrible lawyer office ever don't waist your money I don't recommend this office to anybody they are liars and they don't listen its a waist of time and money!!!!!! They should close this office down:/

Going through a very nasty divorce case. Judge had granted three years full property control of my house to my soon to be ex wife. Mr. Duron fought that ruling and was able to have my soon to be ex wife to move out of my house in 31 days! Excellent experience with this firm. The entire staff is very professional, super grateful for the positive results! Thank you!

I hired mr Duron and his team around October of last year after dealing with horrible custody battle that was leaving me with no answers I was close to giving up but thanks to Mr Duron things have cleared up and things have been going right thanks to Mr Duron and his team I would recommend him 10/10 work

I am so thankful for having Tracy, who is Mr. Duron’s paralegal, she is by far the best when it comes to communication and helping you in every step of your case and making it an easy process with her guidance. Thank you Tracy! & thank you Mr. Duron for representing me.

WARNING: simple divorce cost 38,000 dollars. Never went to court once. I was told I was family and would never hurt me. Well he did. My sister just passed away he did her final papers. My brother in law recommended him to me. I hired him for a certain amount of money but he decided to hand my case to another lawyer. Not telling me that she was going to charge me over 300.00 dollars an hour. There was many mistakes made many. I found out I was divorced from my kids. No call from my lawyer just and email that he charged me for but the email was way after the divorce was final. I have met with 4 lawyers who are sad that these kind of lawyers give them a bad name. Office staff will tell u he will be in the office today, a week later he will call u and say I was on vacation. Happens 6 times. Also he had 5 different people working on a divorce which means you pay all 5. Very unorganized overpriced lawyer. I would not recommend ANYONE to use this company. He didn't get anything for me other than the state law requires. Feeling ripped off taken advantage of. I stopped getting billing statements as soon as soon as he got a 40,000 lean against my home. He always said He would find out why no billing statements but of course never did. He made sure he used it all. Be very careful who u choose for a lawyer even if they say there family. Choose wisely!! Didn't finish my case the 38,000 did NOT cover the QDRO. Separation of retirement. Wanted a 1,000 to do it. Got it done for 300.00 by a respectable paralegal. If you need a lawyer call the BBB they will recommend you someone who will not RIP u off feeling defeated. Please choose wisely!!! Sterns and Sterns took a quarter of my earnings. Only got what the state law says so I could have hired anybody. Just beware!!!!! I also had a budget BUT he decided to stop billing me so he took off with my budget! Also paid to get my ex-husband's paychecks garnished and paid Ryan for it. I paid for it but it never happened. I will continue to tell people please call the BBB they will get you a lawyer and not take your money. Now that I have used Ryan and two other lawyers and a paralegal I know for sure that sterns and sterns over charged me by thoudands. I was told that $38,000 was way too much for what I got. Ryan made an agreement with me over the phone for a certain amount of money and decided to change All on his own. Please think about who you were hiring even if they say they are family look into their business find out not who they are as a person who they are as a businessman. I trusted him and so did my family but he has lost more respect than he will ever know. I just want people to be aware and know what they're getting and just because somebody says their family get it in writing. I tried to talk to Ryan and resolve this. He wouldn't budge he hardly had anything to say because he knew he was wrong. My new lawyer would have charged me at the very most $15,000. So just remember that when you go to look for a lawyer remember what Stearns and Stearns did to me and probably others too. Lawyers aren't rock stars! So years later I see all the charges I did not get sevice for. Beware call the BBB. Don't you think your lawyer would go over the divorce papers with you.? No no nothing he mailed me my divorce papers and never spoke to me about what I was getting. Also he never ever checked in to make sure my name was off the house loan. He really really screwed me over and if I were you I would not use him as a lawyer. Please look it up this lawyer has been disciplined by the licensing authorities. Look it up.

I have been working with Stearns Kim Stearns & Ryan for 6 months now. They have been a pleasure to work with.

Ryan, Loe and staff were wonderful during my very difficult divorce. They were there for me through all the questions and concerns. They definitely helped me reach a resolution and defended my position with compassion. Would recommend them to anyone!!

I can't say enough nice things about the lawyers at Stearns Kim & Stearns who helped me. I knew I couldn't afford a costly divorce, and they handled it beautifully. Ryan Stearns was really helpful in explaining to me how to get our property divided and support established, and even outlined a budget to get it done. He did explain to me that he couldn't guarantee staying on this budget, since litigation can be unpredictable, but I appreciated that he was upfront and honest about that. Fortunately they were able to keep my case on budget! I really liked how straightforward Mr. Stearns’ and his lawyers were, they were all so helpful! Loe Chaelee, one of the associates and who worked closely with me, was an absolute rock star!

The law office of Stearns/Kim/Stearns handles a lot of real estate matters for our office. They are very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. I’ve worked with Ryan Stearns for the past 6 years, he has been a pleasure to work with. All of the team members have been great to work with. Great job Team Stearns, Kim & Stearns!!!

Thank you Gia !She help me with my divorce,I didn't have to worry about court procedures,she took care of everything. Her staff was always very supportive and professional, never did I feel ashamed. Really charismatic people and willing to work with you.

They left for lunch and the sign said will be back at 2:15 PM I called to get a more accurate time and they said 2:30 it is now 2:45 and they still aren't open. It It was about 3:30ish and I got helped. I was in to get something notarized and I got a discount on it because I waited for a while. they care for there people.

Genuine care for helping client's out with their legal needs.

Gia was a pleasure to work with. From our initial meeting she took the time to listen to the details of my case and we discussed my options moving forward. She was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. Gia was also gave me a fair price on the divorce paperwork she completed for me. My situation was already very sad in nature but Gia handled it with care, while making sure that I was not taken advantage of. I will continue to be grateful for her help and would recommend her wholeheartedly!

I have had an accident case and a wrongful eviction case that Mr. Pacheco has helped me with. I have complete confidence in them and highly recommend their services. The staff is very competent.

    Gia was a pleasure to work with. From our initial meeting she took the time to listen to the details of my case and we discussed my options moving forward. She was very knowledgeable and answered every question I had. Gia was also gave me a fair price on the divorce paperwork she completed for me. My situation was already very sad in nature but Gia handled it with care, while making sure that I was not taken advantage of. I will continue to be grateful for her help and would recommend her wholeheartedly!

Worst attorney in Los Angeles, she charged me $5000 dollars upfront without even showing once to court, her filing fees are ridiculous. The day before my hearing, she called me in her office just to have her accountant asking for another $5000, she delayed my hearing for an additional 3 months. It was a total waste of my time and money.

Retaining this attorney was the worse mistake I had ever done. She is a money hungry attorney. paid her 15k in 5months. Because she was too interested in her vacations. This attorney abandoned my case for one month, missed several court appearances and did not tell me and at the end she said be prepared to pay alimony and child support. Entire office was unprofessional, would mail correspondence to wrong address and then tell me that the mail was returned. DUH wrong address. This happened multiple times. If there was a negative I would have give her one. RUN RUN RUN

Mrs. Gallegos represented me a few years back, she is an excellent attorney. Gets the job done efficiently. Would definitely recommend her!

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.

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.

Jeffrey is an exceptional lawyer. When I reached out to him I had already been a year into my case and felt like it was going nowhere. I decided to drop my lawyer and was referred to Jeffrey to pick up the pieces. With hesitation I gave him all of my trust as a last ditch effort to complete my case. He did not disappoint! Within four months he had everything completed. Not only did he make this process easier, but he kept me informed every step of the way. He was very responsive to emails and personally does all of his own admin work (so you know it will be done right the first time). Jeffrey is VERY REASONABLY PRICED as well. Thank you Jeffrey for your efforts in my case and making me feel like a priority. I would 100% refer my friends and family to him.

Attorney Stearman is professional in everything. My case was opened and closed within approximately 5 months, from ending of Jan to middle of July, 2021. At first, I was frustrated and did not know which attorney that I could ask for help. I received no recommendation so I did a research and luckily built my trust in attorney Stearman. Let me be straightforward, as long as attorney Stearman understood my situation, he completely and actively took control over the case. He showed me what outcome would be based on the supporting documents and evidences provided. He responded to my emails within 24 hours. When I did not think or go the right way, he actively guided me back to be on track. Especially, when the other party (who was involved in the case with me), caused too many problems, resulting their paperwork to be returned, as I suggested, attorney Stearman did his best to assist the other party as well. I had 2 cases going on at the same time, and when I explained how the 2 cases were related, attorney Stearman also showed concern that kept reminding me about how the deadlines of 1 case could affect the other. Long story short, if you really need help, please give yourself a chance to talk to attorney Stearman. He will definitely help you understand by simplifying and guiding you on the the right way.

My experience with the Attorney, Mr. Stearman was satisfying.. I had a few questions and he was very helpful and listened to my concerns.

Mr. Stearman was easy to work with, prompt, and very helpful guiding me through a very difficult time. Always answered my questions no matter what they were. And gave me an easy list of paperwork he needed and had the paperwork I needed to fill out ready to go. I would recommend Mr. Stearman to anyone.

Retaining Jeffrey Stearman was the best decision I could have made regarding my case. He was very knowledgeable and proactive. He is worth every penny and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal services. Five stars across the board.Thank you Jeffrey.
