I would leave a minus 5 star if i could. The Spermling (SO CALLED ) Law Firm is a joke. We paid almost $14000.00 for our case, but they didn't do much for over a period of 8 months for us.The opposing Lawyer was too smart for them. They are arrogant and incompetent , I was on the phone with Mitchel Spermling and asked him a question and he hung up the phone and dropped our case, because he is not competent to answer questions. I emailed them to get a break down on our payment and they never responded. I am filing a complaint to the State Bar. Stay away from this Law Firm, there are so many great ones out there.

After being separated from their mother for well over 3 years, my children and I started going through a difficult time with her due to very concerning behavior on her part. She started downright terrorizing us after she learned that I had started dating a man. She filed lawsuits, harassed and hounded us, tried to track our every move, took legal steps to keep my partner away from my children and failed miserably, secretly filmed and took pictures of us and even stalked us. Co-parenting with her was a nightmare before it became impossible. It became so stressful and scary for my children and their mental state that I came to the conclusion that I needed to take some serious action to protect our mental health and to put a stop to the bullying and the emotional abuse once and for all. Luckily, the Sperling Law Firm came to our rescue and helped us resolve our issues with this troll. My attorney Lauren McAllister was equipped with all the legal advice and expertise that I needed and she stayed cool, calm and collected each time when facing the monster. Lauren put the monster in her place when she had to and put a stop to all the cartoonish distractions the monster tried to create in court. After a couple rounds with Lauren, the monster seemed to be getting discouraged and started to back off from the attacks. Typical bully behavior. She was no match for Lauren McAllister! My incredible attorney’s hard work led to the court granting me extended time with my children and I, and denying the monster every ridiculously controlling request and every viscous mean-spirited allegation. My children are finally at ease and love to spend most of their time in my care. And now that the monster has been repeatedly beaten by Lauren, it has humbled down and makes the weekly pick up/ drop off times less traumatizing for the children and I. This is the greatest gift to earn from this lengthy battle. My advice for anyone out there is to NEVER let a bully of any shape, form or relation, ruin the lives and mental health of your loved ones, and to hire the Sperling Law Firm to help you fight back! Because it’s worth it. Fight back and have these wonderful attorneys help you with your fight. Thank you for your talent and cool wit, Lauren McAllister !

Rozanna Velen is an excellent family law attorney. Look at her retainer as a long term investment-you pay a bit now, but save a bunch in the long run. Rozanna will give the facts and law to you straight, and let you know your options and risks. There are not many attorneys who will tell you to take a route that will make her less money...but that's how much of a straight shooter she is. I've sent dozens of people over to Rozanna. She is a respected professional in the legal community. She has obtained excellent results for myself, my friends and associates- including someone who originally (before retaining Rozanna) agreed to pay their spouse $80k...but after hiring Rozanna my friend RECEIVED $80k from their spouse. (Don't try to do a divorce alone if you have assets.) Some family attorneys are sleazebags who wring every drop of $ out of their client, bully, yell and scream at opposing parties, and don't care about the welfare of the child or adults involved. Rozanna is the opposite. She's got a good grasp on keeping things calm, and she focuses on the best interest of the child and other humans in the family matter. Hire Rozanna Velen.

Rozanna is an extraordinary family law attorney - one of the best! I hired her a year and a half ago and I couldn't be happier. What I like most about Rozanna is her direct approach and her willingness to keep things in perspective. She places me in a winning strategy and she gets me the results I deserve. She is also one of only a few honest attorney's whose sole mission is to HELP YOU rather than fatten their pocketbooks. Believe me, she will do everything she can to help you. Hiring Rozanna was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.

All major life decisions are difficult and making the decision to divorce my ex-wife was by far one of the most challenging decisions and experiences I’ve ever endured. My divorce from my ex-wife should not have been a complicated one, but my ex-wife and her “super lawyer” wanted to make it a long, drawn out and costly experience with the hope that by deploying underhanded delay tactics and never ending, senseless requests that my ex would be successful in stopping me from 50/50 legal and physical custody of my daughter, as well as other key divorce areas. I started my divorce journey by hiring “the wrong” attorney. I made an emotional decision related to my first attorney and hired an attorney who my friend had used for his easy divorce. After 1 year of endless mediation, countless emails, phone calls, senseless delays waiting for my ex to agree to 50/50 I was no farther along than when I started and had already spent thousands on attorney fees. I needed to find “the right” attorney to help me get divorced who was strategic, focused, ethical, responsive, thoughtful and would keep legal fees to only what was necessary. I fired my first attorney and after an in depth search including having my friends contact their inside/ back channel legal friends I found “the right” attorney in Rozanna Velen. Hiring Rozanna was the best decision of my life. Within 4 months of hiring Rozanna she pushed through the endless walls of delays and negotiated and procured a 50/50 legal and physical custody agreement and then helped me along that way to close out and finalize my divorce. Rozanna is highly intelligent, experienced, calm, strategic, responsive, ethical, focused and determined. I highly recommend Rozanna Velen.

Everyone at the office too, they are on top of things, answer quickly and overall kind.

I am glad I found Steven Stolar and his staff. I had never been through a divorce so I didn't know what to expect. It was a steep learning curve for me and, at times, a difficult process, during which Steven and his associate guided me - minimizing confusion, frustration and fear - to the best outcome for my set of circumstances. His office is on top of cases - they are knowlegable, remain aware of the details and status of your case and any new laws that may impact it. They are also accessible - responding to emails and calls promptly. I think Steven Stolar and his staff provide everything you could hope for in a family law practice.

Maryam would have settled my case in less than a year had the other side not dragged their feet. In the end I got everything I wanted!

If I could give more stars, I would. Tamara literally saved my life from a dangerous predator. She knew exactly how to guide me through the process and made sure I understood everything before proceeding on to the next issue, and was always very straightforward and honest. Mine was a very long and drawn-out process due to the level of psychosis of the other party involved, and Tamara definitely went above and beyond to keep me safe and ensure that my property remained in my possession. She worked when she was sick, pulled all-nighters and hustled over the holidays to ensure my safety. She made sure I received the maximum amount of protection from the courts, and even helped me regain some of the legal fees. She truly cares for her clients and it shows. I know she had lots of other cases besides mine but she always made me feel as though she was always there for me, and always responded immediately in an emergency, no matter the hour. She is truly what a great attorney is SUPPOSED to be. I always felt confident with her support, and believe me when I say that you will do well to trust her. Addendum 07/18/2021: Well unfortunately I was in the position where I had to hire an attorney again because of the same vexatious litigant, but I am so grateful to have Tamara on my side! She once again came through for me when I needed her the most, put my fears to rest, and took care of business. You will not find a more hard-working and empathetic professional in this field. Guaranteed.

I looked at the reviews and they were really good so gave her a call to help me with my divorce case and she made an appointment and the consultation was $425 when there are other people who do free consultation. It was alot but she told me she would put it on my retainer fee. So we made an appointment with her and she said her secretary would send me an email to confirm and they never did. That was a red flag. But I gave her a chance and I called again to send the email and they did. Then we made an appointment. I was ready for my appointment and they cancelled on me when I payed the consultation already. We made another appointment. She was late for our new appointment and she called and she cut me off because she needed to "order lunch for her son for school." And I was like what kind of professionalism is this? Then I let her do what she needed to do which took like 30 minutes but it was fine because I'm also a mother but she could've done that before our appointment. At that point I regretted paying her. I asked how much I was going to pay to finish my divorce and she said $10,000. I was like omg to just finish? I thought it would be 2500 or something. I asked her for some of my money back because she didn't even anything and everything was incorrect and she started arguing with me when I didn't get my full hour consultation either. I thought everything would be fine but paying her in the first place was a big mistake. Shes not professional at all I don't recommend her. There are other people who give free consultation and do a good job unlike Tamara.

Tamara knew exactly how to guide me from the first day she reviewed my situation. And even though court matters can take a while to settle in your favor, her advice was in alignment with what I needed to gain justice in a horrible situation. My situation was really bad because I lacked representation initially and had made mistakes of my own. I am overjoyed now that I did what she advised because it was such an enormous gain for me. So, thanking Tamara for what she did for me over time. She showed tremendous dedication in getting my visitation expanded and mapping out a way for me to gain my custodial rights back!! Tam, you proved to be a 300-mile-away gem in my personal journey of hardship!! Thankful to God for divinely having our paths cross at such a crucial and scary time for me. Sincerely, Ms. B.

I was referred to Cary by Steven Mindel to review my palimony case for viability. My legal situation is very complicated nearly 5 years later & 4 lawsuits between my ex & myself, so I knew it wouldn’t be “quick” or “easy” getting Cary caught up enough to decipher the situation, but I very clearly understand now why he is a difficult man to get a hold of, & why his hourly rate is as high as it is - because Cary is worth it. I walked in not expecting to get as much time, respect, information, support & truth as he kindly provided me with. I arrived with a sheet of paper that drew/listed out, each of the lawsuits: the case number, judge, date filed & complaints, organized chronologically. Cary spent about an hour with myself & a trusted family friend deciphering the overall situation & the best strategy moving forward. He told us what he knew about judges & other lawyers & their demeanours, he used his own past cases as examples to help us understand how he would arrive at his opinions. Ultimately, he told us the truth. It wasn’t necessarily enjoyable to hear (that basically everything I’ve already lost is lost forever & most likely will just get worse) & he agreed that none of this is by any means fair… but it was realistic & honest, & I can’t imagine a greater gift from an attorney. Altogether, Cary said it was not in my best interest to move forward on this case - that Cary could take my money at an hourly rate, but he didn’t feel the emotional & financial expenses were worth it. When I told him that I didn’t care if I spent every last dollar paying him just to drag my ex through some of the horrors my ex has dragged me through time & again, Cary calmly brought me back down to grown-up Earth: “That isn’t a good way of looking at it.” He reminded me that I’m still young enough to let this go & enjoy my life, & after a few tears, I felt lighter & good about letting this case (& everything else I’ve lost in these terrible 5 years)... go. Cary is patient, clear, kind, extremely knowledgeable, well-connected in the Los Angeles County court system, professional, realistic, & unexpectedly he also has a dry, lovely sense of humour in stolen moments. I would have felt proud & grateful to have him representing me. In my experience & interactions with him, I truly found Cary Goldstein to be a good man & a brilliant lawyer.

This law firm saved my life. They are one of the best in Los Angeles. They know what they're doing.

Cary's female associates, attorneys Lauren and Sarah work with Cary as a team, so you feel safe and protected going through the divorce process. I did my research before I hired him, so I knew that Cary Goldstein is also the top attorney in the country for Palimony cases. Unlike most palimony attorneys, Cary also has years of experience with Palimony cases. I was lucky enough to find Cary Goldstein as my attorney.

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!?

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.

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.
