I came to Cornwall Family Law Office in a very unconventional way and my divorce, custody and child support cases were a mess. The team at Cornwall Family Law was compassionate, understanding, and honest. They conducted themselves with integrity, while at the same time staying tough while defending my side. They were very communicative and forthright. In the courtroom Breanna was amazing! She was the picture of poise and clever sophistication. She won my case when I thought there was little hope. Having Cornwall Law Office take over my case has been a blessing. I will be forever grateful!

I’m currently in a very nasty divorce and custody battle and I am so happy I chose Breanna Cornwall to represent me. She is beyond knowledgeable and so extremely professional. She won’t try to waste your money and is always so level headed even in the court room. She works professionally, efficiently, and diligently for her clients. She is the best around at what she does. I did an extreme amount of research and asking around before hiring an attorney and I’m so glad I was pointed to her. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer. You won’t regret hiring her. You will only regret not having her on your side in the court room. You want to ensure you have an attorney who knows what they are doing and not one that’s wasting time and money and making the case more complicated. Breanna and her team is exactly that and are for sure what you want and need when it comes to the courtroom. I am truly thankful for her and her amazing team. Hands down the absolute BEST in this town!

I highly recommend the Cornwall Family Law Office to any one seeking legal defense for custody and visitation cases. They expedited my consultation for the very next day. Breannas strategic methodology has captured me and is exactly what I’m looking for. She has given me a ray of hope after so many years of delusive contentment. To God be the Glory !!

I would highly recommend Breanna and her team at Cornwell family law to anyone in need of professional, knowledgeable and meticulous representation. Breanna listened to all of my concerns and even to those of family and took note and heart. She took the time to explain all of the legalities and points of California law and process that were so foreign to me. Her and her team, specifically Shana, Peggy and Payton were very compassionate, efficient, understanding, and responsive. With my busy healthcare schedule they were patient and accomodating. In prep and execution on hearing date Breanna handled all of the details with very impressive strategical precision. She advocated with a keen and thorough knowledge of the law and came through with us resolving all of the matters in question. Breanna and her team were a definite light and blessing in a very difficult time not only because of the legal matters but because we were in the middle of a pandemic and host of other outside situations that had also presented unique challenges. Breanna and her team were easy to reach, reassuring, and their skill level I am sure unmatched and by far exceeded my expectations.

Breanna, Chris and the entire team at Cornwall Family Law have been such a blessing to me and my family. They are one of the most knowledgeable family law firms in Monterey and provide nothing short of top-notch service. They helped us in a series of family legal matters and were always quick to respond, provide advice, and set proper expectations throughout the entire process. They also made themselves available via phone, email, or in person, when needed. Due to their diligence and attention to detail they saved us thousands in legal fees that we would have unnecessarily spent to get to the same outcome. Thank you again for all your help!

Traci is a consummate professional, lawyer and my highly trusted advisor. I've employed her since 2013 for my divorce and since then periodically with questions as they've come up. Without fail she's responsive, and I feel like she's been extremely knowledgeable about divorce and family law. In particular, I feel she's extremely reasonable and always seeks to paint both sides along with attorney's costs, so I'm fully apprised of the consequences of any action I might need to take. It's that common sense approach rather than a bull dog mentality that I feel is her particular strength. I totally recommend her.

She was timely with all my questions and made me feel safe throughout the process. She was sensitive to my sentiments and I am so thankful that I met with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking an amazing lawyer with focus on Custody/Divorce/Settlements. I also love that everyone who works in the office is a women!

I've had full physical custody of my two boys since my divorce in 2011. They're father moved out of state and although I was willing to work with him on visitation, he felt like I was being unfair. When he served me with custody papers, I was so worried and anxious of what was to come. I have always tried to do what's in the best interest of my boys, but I was worried that maybe he would not be reasonable with what he wanted versus what I was proposing (which is exactly what happened). I spoke with a few attorneys before I found Mello & Pickering. The other attorneys sounded out of touch and cold to my situation, which made me feel even more panicked. I called to set up a consult with Traci Pickering and immediately felt like I was talking to someone who had my boys best interest at heart. She focused on the facts and helped me feel at ease with the whole scenario. I was almost in tears with total relief... Traci made me truly feel like she had my back. Traci decided that her associate Jessica Pellerin would be perfect to help me with my response and in court as we proceeded. Jessica was extremely thorough and really made me feel like she understood my situation. After a failed mediation with my ex, we were set to move forward to JCC. The cost of this was really racking up and with my ex also holding out on child support, I spoke with Jessica (who was soon going on maternity leave) we decided together to have me represent myself. She assured me that she would be there for me if I had any questions. My case was then transferred back to Traci to be on a consulting basis as JCC approached. The day before the JCC, I spoke with Traci and she answered all my questions, coached me on what to expect, and reassured me that I could handle it. I cannot say enough that these women are the best thing that has happened to me since all this drama first began. What an inspiration it is to have extremely professional and strong women help me through this incredibly scary and uncertain process. If you're in need of help these women are the ones to go to! Thank you Jessica and Tracy, I couldn't have handled it without you!

Ladies--Traci Pickering is who you want in your corner. I want through a very much unwanted divorce and Traci was my rock. She made herself available to me whenever I needed her and she was sympathetic but realistic. She told me the truth- the way the legal system actually works, as opposed to how it should work. I was able to mediate an appropriate settlement and move forward with my life. Traci was smart and no-nonsense but still kind and empathetic. I am SO glad I retained her services. She made the worst experience of my life a little bit easier-- I am so glad she was the attorney by my side.

Divorce is never something you plan for and the complexity and legality of it is something most couples don’t know, understand or inquire about. If you want the best legal representation please don’t hesitate to use Families First Mediation. Samira and Deborah are organized, professional, empathetic, knowledgeable, and efficient. They made the process simple and clear, ensuring both parties were satisfied. They answered and addressed all questions and concerns always being neutral. I’ll highly recommend it if you want to avoid the courtroom and save some headaches! Thank you Samira and Deborah!!!!

Dina is very knowledgeable both in terms of the divorce laws and accounting. She is a great listener and amazing in finding a solution that works for both parties. She has a very creative mind to resolve conflicts be it about child custody, scheduling or asset division. Dina and Deborah have everything very organized, structured and efficient. Last but not least, she has a very soft heart always encouraging and referring clients for marriage counselling first before going through the process. PS. I don't think Dina needs these reviews. Try to make an appointment with her and she is usually booked up for the next two months! This speaks for itself how popular she is.

I hired Audrey Gamble to represent me. However, she was completely unresponsive, except for quips like 'Maybe you can become an attorney after all of this.' I asked her to file documents for me, but she was obsessed with trying to force me to agree to stipulations to appease my husband's high powered attorney and would not work on the aspects of my case that I was interested in. If your interested in competent divorce attorney, do not come to Huey and Gamble, unless you want to be forced into bad stipulations while she doesn't work on your case.

Do not waste your time and money here. They have high hourly rates. Appear to court late and ask for documents the night before. Very unprepared. Different lawyer from their firm appears at the court so keeps changing. The new attorney appearing barely knows what is going on. Not knowledgeable in the custody subject. The bill has charges incorrect. They charge for every minute and second you speak to them.plus add an assitional 20 extra on top. Make sure you check and track the times you talk and reach out to them as they will over charge you if you do not check. They advise you to do something and at court they do not tell the judge they advised you to do so. Beware. They seem nice at first but until they take your money.. Do not hire their services.

Do not take your divorce to this firm. My family has spent a lot of money for my case. And the bills are padded. Outrageous fees to feed this family and on child custody support cases; they are not aggressive or concerned about the spouse and children that have not had received back support payments . Or if they have shelter and or food. Or if they’re power has been shut off.emails at times are not answered in a timely manner and they bill for every email even if is regarding follow up on the same issue. They bill for each text outrageously. I say hey dead beats dads if you want someone o n your side hire these guys.

FABULOUS!!!!! I called the Moreno Family Law firm TWO DAYS before my hearing/trial and Michael Moreno took my case without any hesitation. I had a civil harassment restraining order pending against me that occurred in the workplace and I was so scared to go to court since the last time I went I couldn’t even speak to the Judge without shaking. The Opposing Party was a bully and I was frightened that if I had a restraining order granted against me it would ruin my career forever. Michael Moreno asked that I drop off the paperwork ONE DAY before the trial and he showed up prepared, looked sharp and fought for me like I had been his client for years! The judge did not want to dismiss the restraining order against me and Michael had an intellectual and persuasive response to every position the Judge made. Even when the judge disagreed with him he KEPT FIGHTING FOR ME and making new arguments that slowly started to change the Judge’s mind. Michael didn’t give up until he was able to successfully change the judge’s mind and WE WON!!! The judge dismissed the restraining order against me and I was able to walk away from the court house with NOTHING pending against me. I truly believe that the universe was in my favor when I found The Moreno Family Law firm to help me with this civil harassment restraining order (work place harassment). THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am truly grateful and I would recommend EVERYONE to this firm. Michael Moreno is a TRIAL EXPERT and the staff was helpful and kind. They even called after the hearing to make sure I was happy with the representation I received. INCREDIBLE FIRM. (This was all during COVID shelter in place and they were available to me 24/7).

If you are looking for an incredible family law firm, LOOK NO FURTHER. SERIOUSLY. READ: I wish we could give this law firm a 1000/10 rating. Magdalena and her team are exceptional. Incredibly detailed, focused, strategic, and really concerned for the well-being of all involved. We hired Magdalena and her team after going through 2 very poor, detached, uninterested attorneys that really did not do a great job of representing us. In less than 1 month of retaining her, we have accomplished more than we have in over 1 year. Thank you for all you do. For your mission to do what is best for those with little to no voice, you are an angel, a soldier, and we are so thankful to have you as part of our team/family.

I honestly can't thank this firm enough for the help they gave me for one of the most stressful situations I have had to deal with in my life. My ex made things very difficult and tried to drag things out to make things hard and this team was extremely supportive of me and kicked butt getting things done and in a super timely manner. Katie Keeley and Derick Austin were in charge of my case. They were both very up front and straight shooters as far as what was realistic. I came into this scared and not knowing even where to start and I honestly don't think I could have picked a better team to represent me and I would recommend them to anyone. I will say, my only reservations when I came here in the beginning was this place is pretty pricey. I was very upfront on what I had to spend and they felt confident they could do everything in the retainer I paid. Well, we didn't even make it to court before my retainer was up and I noticed my invoice was a bit off with some stuff. When I asked about it, not only did they not make me feel bad at all, but he didn't argue anything with me at all. He looked over my stuff and was super helpful and I was very pleased with how he handled the situation. Derick Austin is genuinely a good person who takes care of his clients. Katie was extremely thorough, supportive and professional to me but was sharp and intense when I needed her to be. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for and I got everything I wanted, I got it quickly and I would absolutely use them again for any future needs I have. Honestly, their help was priceless and thank you for your help.

I cannot think of better outcome than what he could have done for me. If you need his services, I highly recommend at least interviewing Mr. Louie.

Unfortunately, Nicole scrambled at the last minute to prepare for my big day. I showed up to court, and she failed to submit my statement on time for the judge to go over our case. Even OC from a different county submitted the week before. Then she told me after the botched court date all her revelations, which was not helpful at all after the fact. After an embarrassing train wreck of a court date, I switched to a new lawyer who was able to settle my case swiftly, empathetically, professionally - without having to go back to court. Literally, achieved nothing with Nicole except for negatively impacting my case. It's a shame that I threw away so much money that could have gone towards my kid when we could have settled out of court.

I have been using Hoover Krepelka for years. Jim Hoover and Travis Krepelka handle custody, divorce and all types of Family Law issues. I would not hesitate to use them again or refer them to friends and family. My attorney is Jim Hoover (a bulldog in the courtroom) but there are other attorney's in the office that are really good too so you are sure to find someone that fits your needs and personality style. If you need a family law attorney you want the right team on your side and in my book Hoover Krepelka is that team.

Divorce and marriage are life changing events and it would be foolish not to get the best counsel available. Hoover Krepelka provided free counsel that helped friends of mine to do the right thing when they got married; and now both are fully aware of the contract they entered in together. My neighbor turned to Hoover Krepelka when she realized she is not getting what she and her children deserved. She told me that finally! somebody is actually listing to her and fighting for her and her children's rights. February 2020, Travis Krepelka is one of the finest lawyer with ethics and principles. I recommend him to anybody, when they get married especially as it is only to the couples advantage when they are on the same page.

I worked with Jim Hoover and his team for over 2 years. At first I felt very well represented. I ended up settling with my ex of an 18 yr marriage for 1/2 of what he made in one year. The Hoover team billed me 1/4 of that amount. My Jr attorney suddenly left the firm with no parting words, I received a letter. I was assigned a new attorney and was billed even more. I tried to stop the litigation because of the fees, but Hoover team would not respond and kept litigation going. When I tried to hire a new attorney, I was warned by many in the field that Hoover's team has this reputation.
