I've been a client of Jennifer's since 2018 and she has expertly guided me through two custody updates. I'm a challenging client: I'm extremely detail oriented and will say no before I say yes. Jennifer is a strong and professional choice with a settlement focused practice. Through her guidance, I evolved from a place of fear to a place of empowerment (sometimes it was two step forwards, one step backwards, but hey, growth isn't linear). When I saw things through a specific lens she kept me in check and also went to bat for me when needed. She navigated through tough scenarios with varied options, combative opposing counsel, many, many questions, and always kept my child's best interests a priority. I would recommend Jennifer Owens to anyone who is in need of a talented, empathetic and intelligent attorney.

I am extremely thankful and fortunate to have Jennifer Owens as my counsel. After initially meeting several lawyers, I did not feel that any of them truly were focused on my best interest and therefore did not feel comfortable with any of them representing me in one of the most crucial and critical moments of my life. I am so grateful that a family friend referred me to Jennifer Owens. After calling her, she set up a meeting with me in her office immediately and met with me for over an hour for a consultation. She was so professional, knowledgeable, genuine and ethical that I knew right away she had my best interest in mind. I felt very comfortable and open to discuss my case with her. Since then she has always been available to talk with me when I need her counsel, and most importantly she has always been honest and direct to the point with me. During court proceedings, her presence is calming and she is amazing in her delivery and confidence. Her writing skills are excellent and she always makes sure that all paperwork is accurate, correct, and that I fully understand their importance and purpose. She provides me with excellent recommendations and specifically reviews the pros and cons with me so that I can comprehend this confusing and emotional process. This allows me to make the best decisions that will impact the rest of my life. I can say that Jennifer truly cares and she gives you all of her attention. I would not have made it this far without her, and for that I am and will be forever grateful. If you are feeling lost and confused and unsure on how to proceed, I strongly suggest that you give the Law Offices of Jennifer Owens a call for a consult, and meet Jennifer Owens yourself.

The Law Offices of Jennifer Owens has been such a great choice for myself. This is the THIRD law offices that I have used in my divorce. The first was horrible, the second not much better and now Jennifer Owens has been terrific. The number one reason I like how she works is that she tells you the truth. I feel she is truly trying to help me resolve my case, not just trying to rack up attorneys fees. She listens to my issues, offers possible suggestions, tells me when I'm being unreasonable, and we develop a plan that specifically works for my needs. I would recommend The Law Offices of Jennifer Owens to anyone going through the difficult task of getting a divorce. She will handle your situation with care and treat you as a friend, not a dollar sign.

I met with Mr Wildish to do a Real Estate Transaction. I was the buyer. The Seller was half owner of a Hospital that I was half owner of. I had an old Buy/Sell agreement for this property that was dated 2018. I told Mr Wildish that we needed to update the agreement and change the Attorney’s letterhead from 2018. Wow! I just handed Mr Wildish $5,000 to not even write his own Buy/Sell agreement. Instead, he sent the seller the old agreement with another attorneys name on it! He lied and told me that I said he could send it. Who in their right mind would do that?! I’m not happy and it cost me $50,000 for his ignorance. He couldn’t even coordinate a conference call. He gave everyone the wrong number. Give me my money back Mr Wildish.

I work for Bohm Wildish. I have previously been a client. I have had nothing but positive experiences in both situations. Everyone who works for the firm is reliable, honest and hard working. James Bohm did a mediation for me personally and the results were beyond favorable. I am proud to work and be associated with the firm. I would recommend Bohm Wildish to anyone who needs help.

I was extremely satisfied with the service I received. They were prompt with their feedback and response time. I would highly recommend this firm.

I just called to try to speak with an attorney and was given the worst customer service from the male receptionist who answered the phone. I tried to explain the case quickly to ask for a consultation and was given extremely rude service.... i am not sure if the actual attorney at this firm is even aware of this type of rudeness happening at his firm. i would say also this rude person does not even know just how monetarily huge of a case he just threw out the window for this firm due to his rudeness ... gl to you all who ever tries this firm i pray that you are able to get past the receptionist

I have had an exceptional experience working with Sherry D'Antony and all of the staff at Bohm Wildish & Matsen. They are extremely professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. They have also been clear and prompt in all of their communications. All in all, they have been a pleasure to work with.

After months of trying to find the right legal counsel that I could trust, I was graciously referred to Sean Yanez by a dear friend who highly recommended him and his firm. As a true skeptical person, I was a little apprehensive to speak with yet another "fast talking" attorney who wanted me to pay upfront for a consultation that may or may not answer my legal concerns, but to my pleasant surprise I found that Sean Yanez was the real deal with a heart. He not only gave me extremely valuable advice through his free consultation, but took the time to follow up right away with strategies I could apply to my legal matter right away. Also, instead of upselling me on his legal services, he was honest and straight-forward with giving me his recommendation without trying to take my money. He took the time to learn about my case before speaking with me and never had me repeat any information I already shared with his firm, he spoke to me with compassion and interest in my legal matter, and was extremely helpful at a time when all I had been used to was the exact opposite. Off the bat, Sean was sincere and full of knowledge that he shared openly without coming across as condescending or forceful. He was a breath of fresh air to speak with and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who needs an attorney that they can trust. I would have never found Sean through reviews due to my past experiences, but I'm so glad that he was recommended to me by a friend. Please believe me when I say that you can trust Sean and his firm to handle your family law matters. They are timely, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and most importantly they treat people with compassion, dignity and respect without overcharging and under delivering --qualities that can be so difficult to find in attorneys. You will not be disappointed.

A little of our story, My Husband and I hired on Mr Yanez & Associates to help us with a move away case from CA to CO for my step son who had primarily lived with us since he was 5 yrs old (he’s 11 now). His birth mother believed that with us moving away she should now have her turn in raising him and attempted to change the custody agreement. We were worried we’d lose the case and our son would have to stay behind and not be able to continue to grow up with his brothers since “courts tend to sway with the biological mothers” or so they say. My husband and I were fortunate enough to have had met with Sean in person a few years prior and were able to get a feel for how we’d hope he’d handle our case. And thankfully we were right. Even with all the Covid 19 obstacles he did not falter. We wanted someone who would listen to our concerns, someone who would answer our questions (and trust me we had a lot!) but not just with what we wanted to hear but with facts, with honesty and sincerity even if it wasn’t the answer we wanted. We wanted someone who knew the ins and outs of the court system and how it all worked and would give us their honest opinion. He was always was a step and ahead and very strategic. He gave us play by play and being in a situation where the end result could possibly be loosing your child, having someone like Sean who was literally there fighting with us made all the difference. Mr Yanez & Associates were always extremely timely with getting back to us quickly, we never felt out of the loop, we never felt as if we were in limbo waiting on responses or answers or what our next step should be. Their professionalism and knowledge in my opinion is bar none. The end result is we now live in CO with my stepson, and thanks to Mr. Yanez & Associates, my husband and I can continue to watch our boys grow up together. If you’re looking for an attorney for your case. Look no further!! Sincerely, a Wife & Boy Mom of 3

Absolutely remarkable family attorneys. Yanez and his team are extremely knowledgeable and give great advice. They know family law! I spent days seeking family law firms before making a decision. This firm was able to help me. Thanks to Mr. Yanez, I'll be able to be spend more time with my son again. If you're looking for a family law attorney for Irvine or the general Orange County area who cares, who's reasonably priced and knows what he's doing, this law firm without a doubt is a must consult with. I highly recommend them.

Our encounter with attorney Bettina was incredible. She walked us through the divorce process and allowed us to better understand the complexity of going through a divorce. I can honestly say that Mrs. Yanez and her Associates helped release my stress and allowed me to be able to sleep comfortably without worrying, she was phenomenal. Thank you again. I will recommend you and your team to my family and friends.

She is the worst Attorney ever. I do not have much money at the time so I rely on the court to assign me, then I got her for my custody case. She listen to my ex who also used to be a attorney at law. Then they all pull my daughter away from me even though I am the only raise my daughter up without any child support. At that time, my daughter was 8, now she is 15 and want to commit a suicide

Worth every penny! The best legal advice I've gotten. Amy is highly professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate; she understood my issue perfectly, and gave me very clear and to-the-point advice. Additionally, her team is very cordial and will take good care of you. Highly recommended.

Amy has always been a very knowledgeable and honest Attorney who gives me the information I need to know to make the best decisions on how to proceed with my case. I have had other Attorneys and seen other Attorneys in action. There is no one else I would rather have in my corner when push comes to shove. Her office and the rest of her team are exceptional as well. I recommend her highly and without reservation!

I can’t speak highly enough about the Montes Law Firm. They are honest, caring and kind, which you don’t find easily in the world of attorneys. Devon truly had my best interest in mind and went above and beyond to help me with my case. I am very impressed with her professionalism and her humanness. I highly recommend their services, you won’t be disappointed.

Excellent group of attorneys. Knowledgeable, Prompt, Great Communication - overall service was impeccable. Would absolutely recommend to others in Orange County needing assistance with family law. The lawyers and paralegals in this law firm are true professional and they treated me like family and with great respect. I can't recommend them more! If you want someone that actually cares and it's not in the business only for the money then make sure to call The Montes Law Firm.

Attorney Montes is, simply, the best! She's smart, dedicated, caring and has a tremendous amount of fighting spirit!! She's one of the good guys/gals. Amy took on my now fiance' s divorce and child custody case after he had dug himself into a hole due to an incompetent attorney. Amy was an answered prayer! She took on his case, was able to effectively deal with his (now) ex and her experience got him custody of his daughter. She doesn't know how to quit and is able to think on her feet, plus effectively deal with (crazy) opposing counsel. We owe Amy a tremendous debt of gratitude, and can absolutely not imagine being where we are today without her tireless effort. Amy Montes is the best!!

Maxine is responsive, trustworthy, knowledeable, upfront, and gets the work done, unlike the other 3 attorneys I hired prior to her.

Having dealt with several family law attorneys over the years with a complex paternity matter, Maxine was by far the best. I wish I would have hired her sooner! She is a very efficient and direct communicator and will protect your rights as a father to ensure your child support is fair and and in the best interest of your child. She is extremely organized, compassionate, and professional - you will notice a difference on your very first call. Don't try to take on the family legal system by yourself - Maxine will take care of you!

I am so grateful to have had a lawyer like Maxine representing me during my divorce. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and would definitely recommend her to anybody. She is the best at what she does. Thank you, Maxine!!

Maxine is very thorough, and when my divorce proved to be a challenge she was determined to help me finalize it. She answered all questions I had in a timely manner and did her best to help me understand what was going on and what needed to be done. Thank you, Maxine.

I hired Maxine to help me with my divorce, which can be a very emotional process. Maxine was patient and understanding with me as she helped guide me through what would have been a very confusing process. She was reliable, trustworthy, had a quick response time, and truly fought to protect my future. After interviewing several attorneys, when I met Maxine, I knew she was the right attorney for me. She made me feel comfortable, was conscious of my budget, and I felt like she really cared about the outcome of my case. Thank you again for all your help, Maxine. I wouldn't have been able to make it through such a difficult time without your guidance and support.

    I am so grateful to have had a lawyer like Maxine representing me during my divorce. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney and would definitely recommend her to anybody. She is the best at what she does. Thank you, Maxine!!

    Maxine is very thorough, and when my divorce proved to be a challenge she was determined to help me finalize it. She answered all questions I had in a timely manner and did her best to help me understand what was going on and what needed to be done. Thank you, Maxine.

    I hired Maxine to help me with my divorce, which can be a very emotional process. Maxine was patient and understanding with me as she helped guide me through what would have been a very confusing process. She was reliable, trustworthy, had a quick response time, and truly fought to protect my future. After interviewing several attorneys, when I met Maxine, I knew she was the right attorney for me. She made me feel comfortable, was conscious of my budget, and I felt like she really cared about the outcome of my case. Thank you again for all your help, Maxine. I wouldn't have been able to make it through such a difficult time without your guidance and support.

I should have done this a long time ago! But i hired this man when his office was in Brea, the first time we spoke he offered to represent me in my divorce with only a 2500 retainer which turned into 5000 when it came down to it and not much was done because my wife and i decided to reconcile which he strongly apposed and tried to talk me out of it and was pretty upset when i didn't take his advice. So when it came down to reimbursement oh boy that was a nightmare he would not take my calls his secretary would just tell me he's on vacation and mock me by telling me that she will et him know you called and will document and file our conversation which everyone knows it just means that she is gonna im gonna be billed an hour for every call i made. Sure enough i only recieved a couple hundred from the 5000 didnt get divorce he only made on short court appearance and 1 meeting with my wife and i.

He called me representing my ex husband and told me that I was irrational. He hung up the phone on me after getting frustrated. I think he thought because I was representing my self that he could step all over me and that I didn't know my rights. He was mistaken. Before he could contact me he actually called one of my family member to inform them of my legal information and case which entirely violates my 4the amendment. Now he will not answer any of my calls or emails.

So helpful!

William Strachan is an excellent attorney. He won me a great judgement on a divorce settlement, was fair in his billing, and had my best interest in mind during the entire process. I highly recommend him, and his paralegal Michael. They both worked extremely hard for me, and they will for you as well.

I had a legal matter to resolve which became urgent and Mr. Strachan stayed late one evening to see me quickly. From my first visit, he and the staff were personable, professional and efficient. Because of this, we were able to complete all paperwork quickly. Mr. Strachan was able to negotiate a settlement with the other party’s attorney quickly and without going to court, and the outcome was far better than I had expected and his fees were very reasonable. This was the best experience I have had working with an attorney, and I would highly recommend Mr. Strachan.

Hired Willam back in Jan 2018 after a lengthy divorce that lasted until July 2019. He stood by me every step of the way. He made the horrible experience of divorce manageable and kept me well informed. He fought for me and was able to get me favorable results. I never once felt that he did not have my best interest in mind. He is honest and genuine which is hard to say about most lawyers. I fully recommend him if you want a divorce lawyer that will fight hard for you.

William Strachan is an attorney with integrity and knows the law. His wealth of knowledge and experience has allowed him to help me navigate my divorce. I would recommend him without any hesitation.

Outstanding attorney. Expert in Family Law. Works tirelessly to prepare your case for court. Takes a personal interest in your results. I first met Bill Strachan in 2013 (on the advice of a close friend) to review a final judgement prepared by another attorney. Bill spent 30 minutes discussing the important dissolution details with me one-on-one and charged me zero. I thanked Bill for his time and told him that if I ever needed a Family Law attorney again, I would certainly hire him. Fast forward five years to 2018 and the ex blindsides me with a harsh wage garnishment, despite an oral agreement to the contrary, several promises not to do so (get it in writing folks), and an income that now exceeded mine. I immediately contacted Bill’s office for representation. Bill was prepared. The Judge heard testimony from both sides. The opposition was admonished and the case was a rout. I was so pleased with the results I drove to the Law Offices of William M. Strachan the following day to personally thank Bill and his team for their effort in representing me and for obtaining a fair judgement, which is what we sought. I would not, no, could not consider retaining any other Family Law attorney in the future. I hope I never need one, but if I do, that attorney will be Bill Strachan. Without hesitation.

"Sincere, Honest, Trustworthy, Compassionate are just some of the words I would use to describe Ms. Bokhari. She is truly a gem of a person. She took a very difficult case on my behalf and turned into something that was very amicable. She fought tooth and nail with the opposing counsel in safeguarding my interests, providing me with the best of counsel that I needed to ensure I was protected. What sets her apart with other members of her profession is the pure love for the profession and being available. She responded to my questions and concerns quickly and efficiently. She kept going full throttle until the satisfying result was reached, in my best interest. I would highly recommend you call her before calling anyone else if you are going through a divorce."

I’ve been working with Raazia on my case for years. Although my divorce was resolved, unfortunately I had to return because of new issues. I could always rely on her to give me professional sound direction in times when it seemed my case was impossible. The worst parts were having patience through difficulty. I have trusted Raazia and her team to help me when I felt that I had lost hope but she encouraged me to stay strong and in the end it was worth the struggle. If I ever have issues come up again I would call her again in a heartbeat.

We went to her office to get help applying for citizenship. From the beginning she was very kind, caring and detailed oriented. She made sure that the process goes smooth. Highly recommend her. I would give her 10 star if it was possible.

Excellent

The Law Offices of Raazia Bokhari provided impeccable and professional service for my child support case. Her team was extremely courteous, resourceful, and dependable. I am very unfamiliar with anything that has to do with the law and the intricacies of the system, yet they made me feel comfortable and at ease when I disclosed personal information with them. Bottom line, they provided the results I needed and I am very grateful. I highly recommend them to members of my family and to fellow readers.

I have nothing but good words to say about this organization. They are professional yet make you feel like family. There were times I just wanted to vent and they always listened offering encouraging words. Each associate I talked to was kind and compassionate. I highly recommend The Buncher Law Corporation to help you through the difficult challenges you are facing.

It was a very confusing and expensive experience having this company consulting me Pro-per in my Civil and Family Law case. First, the attorney i was dealing with Lauren Mulley quit 6 month into case without any notice. Second there was no new attorney assigned to me, so they were transferring me around and nothing was done on time. Third, my case was never closed, because they went completely unresponsive at the end, so i had to go somewhere else, after paying them for a year. Finally, they made feel like a beggar, I was constantly told that "i'm the last in line" because i'm on pro-per, that the "real" clients pay much more and get the proper legal representation because of the amounts they pay. Beware of the greedy Layer's Trap and take your business elsewhere. Im sure there are honest and helpful Attorneys out there, this place is not one of them.

The team at Buncher Law is excellent. I consulted with them regarding some family law issues and they were extremely helpful. They pointed me in the right direction and were very understanding about the situation I was in and were also experienced with what I was going through even though it involved some international complications. Sven and Kerrie are great and I highly recommend them!

Had a great experience with a very professional Team. Efficient and economical with a speedy result. Thanks to Sven and Entia.

Gerald helped with a custody case where my son wanted to live with me in my home state. I had a lawyer in my home state and Gerald in CA. Gerald came highly recommended by my original lawyer. He reviewed my case and stayed on top of every filling needed. He was willing to discuss all of my options and never was I left feeling that my son's and my concerns were not addressed. If ever there was a question, he would respond almost immediately. I can say that I feel and observed he is a true professional and expert at what he does . Everything worked out for the best and I couldn't be happier with the support received.

The only times I've needed legal advice have been during times of duress (obviously), but Gerald and his team made me feel confident about my situation. They were through, explained everything beautifully, the communication was great....I could go on and on lol. Being honest, I hope I never have to call them again, but if I ever need them I know they'll be there to support me. Thank you.

Divorce is challenging and having Gerry and his team representing me during this difficult time made it significantly easier. Gerry is extremely professional and assisted me in maundering through this complex process.

Answered my questions in an understandable matt8

After researching this Firm couple of years ago when I was looking for an Attorney , I came across The Maggio Law Firm . I was glad that I hired them . They were very attentive to my needs and request .they made me feel comfortable and well informed . My case just closed and I could not have asked for a better attorney. .
