Shana was very helpful, knowledgeable, patient, kind and most of all caring! She gave me excellent advice and I would highly recommend her as an attorney!

Ms. Black is a highly experienced, compassionate & aggressive attorney. She actually cares. I would highly recommend.

Shana was a great choice as my lawyer. Made my difficult situation less stressful on my part. She's extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. - help me able to achieve the best possible outcome for my case. She makes you feel like family and going to do everything she can to help you. You are her number one priority. She was able to skillfully negotiate a settlement that was far more favorable than I ever imagined.

I'm so thankful to Shana, She was very professional and honest from the start about what we could expect, and followed through with everything we discussed. She made my difficult situation a bearable one. The knowledge she shared helped me to receive the outcome I desired. Divorce is extremely tough and devastating, but I knew that Shana would take good care of me throughout the process, and I will be in great hands. Together with her team, I am very confident that they will get what I deserved.

When I knew divorce was imminent, I had a recommendation from a parent at my child's school to sit down with Shana. I hired Shana based upon the initial meeting and the very first hearing, Shana all but demanded I take my wife at the time up on her offer to reconciliate. I knew this was a trap, merely to get a restraining order I had filed dropped. As I predicted, my X immediately filed for divorce upon me dropping the restraining order. There seemed to be zero prior planning done for my multiple hearings. Shana often misspoke, and brushed off procedural errors by the court initially, that inevitably led to me firing her as my attorney. I would get the opposing party agreeing to sign a custody agreement, and Shana would not send the documents requiring signatures. There were always excuses as to her lack of initiative and timeliness. Shana always made sure to collect her money in a very timely manner, which would make sense if she produced results. My children were abducted by their mother and fled the state as a result of Shana not getting a judges signature on our custody agreement, that I negotiated with my X... not Shana. My X had an attorney that would write her declarations. I had to write my own declarations, and demand she begin writing them based on her fees. I represented myself in NC and secured full custody myself. I have been legally separated for a year and 4 months. I had my X agree to sign a divorce agreement, then spent months begging Shana to send the document. Then she attempted to say I was unclear in my requests. Honestly I liked Shana, and ignored everyone's advice to drop her early on. Simply because of hearing her on the phone with her daughter after court one day, she had her pull over so they could pray together, her daughter was distraught about something. Being a Christian, I chose to stick with her. My major complaint is how much money Shana was given, and how few results 35K yielded. I'm filing a complaint and seeking reimbursement. I had 4 lawyers in 4 different states during these hellish past two years. Shana was the highest paid, and yielded the fewest victories or results.

Don’t take Julie O Wolf’s sweet voice and demeanor for granted she is a beast in the courtroom. She will fight for you like no other. I’ve worked with many attorneys regarding my dissolution and no one can compare to her tactfulness against opposing council. She just, GETS IT no need to prep her up she does all the work and formulates a plan and executes! Thank you Julie.

Julie is an exception Lawyer who has been of tremendous help to me! I was dealing with a very long and complicated divorce/child custody/child support case previously with another firm. They did not provide me with the help I needed. I am SO thankful that I found Julie to take over the case! She has been fantastic at negotiations, and has really explained everything in detail to me all along the way. I highly recommend her services!

Julie was wonderful during my case. I had an unusual situation and Julie was clear on how the outcome may play out. She does not sugar coat anything and fights tooth and nail for the protection of the child and encourages her clients to make rational and healthy decisions during their case. After being an emotional wreck (which she could of probably charged me a mental health service fee????) I was able to settle and have the most time with my son as possible. Highly recommended.

It was pleasure working with Julie Wolff. I was dealing with an out of state child support case and she made it less stressful for me. She was very responsive, transparent and didn’t make me feel bad for asking the many questions I had. Thank you Julie!

ZERO STARS ACTUALLY!!! I reached out to Julie Wolff to represent me in court so I can file for 50/50 custody of my children, modify visitation, and modify child support. She sent me an intake form to fill out which I had filled out same day and sent it back. Julie followed up with me to have a 20 minute consultation. Julie is not my first lawyer and I have never heard of a 20 minute consultation. After she quickly ended that phone call her main concern was how she was accepting first payment or retainer. I told her multiple times on the phone that my insurance covers my payment in full for custody and visitation. I told her, the only thing I would have to pay is for child support and that is a reduced rate of 25% of regular rate bye attorney. Along with me explaining that to her verbally I also emailed her all of my case assist confirmation numbers MULTIPLE TIMES. These numbers pull up my case and EXPLAIN WHAT I AM COVERED UNDER AND HOW PAYMENT OF ATTONEY FEES WORK FROM MY INSURANCE. My insurance also advices any attorneys that do not know the coverage for said plan member to call direct and they will happily assist them in what is covered. This was too much for Julie to do and she asked that I call to verify what she will be payed and too email her with what they say. Aside from what I am covered under, I also said I don't care what I need to pay or how much it will cost I just need to get the ball rolling for my paperwork, because everyday that goes bye is affecting my children. Still did not matter. She kept requesting papers that I have emailed to her 3 different times at this point, and would not accept a phone call, text message or physical appointment to straighten the confusion out. What she did instead was email me the same email three different times requesting what I have already sent her. SEE MY FRUSTRATION!!!??? Julie did not try helping, calling, or explaining anything to me to try and get her what she needs. She felt sending the same email two more times (which clearly was in confusion) was the best and most professional way of handling that, thus leading me to not even accept her as an attorney being as difficult as she was. When people seek out Attorneys I personally do not feel that whomever they choose to represent them, should make they're life simply more difficult with no clear direction. In my benefit she made it very easy for me to know what kind of Attorney I am looking for, so, Thank you Julie Wolff... I see you come back at people with negative reviews and attack their character thus proving my point of unprofessionalism. please don't attack my character this was a review of your work ethic and how you handle your Law Firm. STEP IT UP!!! Please do not try saying that I am a "BOGUS SCAMMER" either, I am very real.

This firm is incredible! From the front desk staff to the attorneys, everyone makes you feel right at home in your most troubling times. In particular, my interactions with attorney Leo Arzumanyan have been fantastic. Leo is attentive, responsive and highly motivated. Above all else, Leo has a knack for impeccable legal writing. If you’re in need of attorneys who will dedicate their time to winning, I strongly recommend hiring the law firm of Antonyan Miranda.

I needed some legal advice and got a recommendation to call Ramona (Tumber). She was attentive and patient and her advice was informed and clear. I couldn't understand all of the options I had accessible to me and she laid everything out in a way even I could understand. A fantastic experience even if the call was for something less than ideal.

I reached out to Concierge Attorney Ramona Tumber for some help on a personal legal matter. She was so helpful and she's got such a positive can-do attitude. She asked me specific questions that expanded my thinking and led to other options for addressing my problem. I recommend her for anyone needing some help with personal/family related legal advice.

Ramona K. Tumber Esq. Is fantastic to work with. Legal family issues are difficult. Ramona listens and then brings her professional knowledge and energetic follow through to bear in resolving your issues promptly and effectively. I recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney with integrity.

Alicia is PHENOMENAL! She was very quick to take my call and get me the help I needed. She is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend giving this firm a call. Their team is very knowledgeable.

I have used this firm three times in 10 years. Five stars each time. Divorce in 2010 with David representing me, then a property dispute with my ex in 2016 that worked out very favorably for me, and finally in helping me with a prenup (no jokes about not learning my lesson). Kyle is an easy going "surfer dude" who knows his stuff. When my fiance's lawyer wanted to add language at the last minute, he made a very reasonable and convincing argument (in front of that other lawyer) that was a slam dunk for my side. I hope I never need their services again but I would definitely recommend them. If you hire them, they are on your side and not trying to gouge you with superfluous "lawyer" billings.

I had Kyle as my attorney and he was absolutely amazing! I am so beyond thankful to have chosen him as my attorney! He explained everything to me that was going on through my Family Court Case.. I have recommended them to other parents going through Custody battles.. I will keep recommending him as well! Amazing people work there for sure!

After calling three or more other family law attorneys, and after explaining my situation, their response was "that my situation was one that they were not familiar with"or as one put it "would not know where to start", I was very relieved to have found Wilkinson & Finkbeiner. From the moment of my first call to the friendly and knowledgeable office person, who was able to understand my unique situation and also explained that Mr. Wilkinson had just recently had a case similar to mine, told me she was confident that he could help. When I received a call back from Mr. Wilkinson to explain my case, he was very understanding of my exact situation, and upon his reassurance I knew I had found an attorney who not only knew how to handle my child support case but who I had the utmost confidence that he was able to help me. From start to finish of my case, I was kept up to date with all of the information, court dates and court documents, as the case progressed. I am deeply grateful for Mr. Wilkinson and the law office staff for helping me in obtaining my past due, back child support from over 24 years. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best Family Law Attorneys in San Diego!!

Me and my husband were served papers from my 11 year old daughters father who had NEVER been involved with her EVER, but in between stints in prison, all of a sudden wanted custody and visitation. Went to court 3 times, due to him being arrested numerous times during the court proceedings. Finally we decided to get a lawyer to stop playing these games. We met Scott, and IMMEDIATELY knew we picked the right lawyer!! He ABSOLUTELY killed it in court, and actually got his RIGHTS TERMINATED......which in California is extremely difficult. If I can tell anyone who needs help, CALL SCOTT and JUSTINE!!!! They are the most honest and hardworking lawyers EVER!!!! I know that my situation is unique, but SCOTT AND JUSTINE ARE AMAZING!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FAMILY!!!!! ????????????

I would recommend Scott in an instant. He is extremely competent, intelligent, creative, and a pleasure to work with. I think a good attorney is one you are pleased with and have no complaints about. A great attorney is one that you don't ever want to have working against you. Scott is the latter. You are fortunate to have found him.

Stay away from this Attorney !!!! I swear, this is the worst attorney I have ever dealt with. I hired Sami for my divorce case since June 2020 as he recommended by Yelp in San Diego area. From that time until now (May 2021) Sami has done nothing except submit the divorce papers in the court since June. I'm contacting him periodically by phone and email to inquire about what he is doing for the case, but without any response !!! Unfortunately, a whole year has been wasted for nothing!! I paid him a flat fee amount of $2,435 for nothing !! Again, don't lose your money and time. Don't hire this guy. I just want to comment on your reply to my review. Would you please explain which tasks you have completed? You do nothing!!!! You charged a flat fee for nothing, if you did something please explain it. Just check your email and phone and see how many emails and calls without any responses!!! Is that your professionalism to deal with your clients? Have you asked me for extra fee and I refused? You just let me wait for a whole year for nothing. I hired another attorney, she completed all the requirements and she got the trail within one month only!! Once again, you charged me the fees for nothing you did !!!

This review is long over due! Sami has gone above and beyond with helping me get through a divorce. I truly lucked out when choosing him as my family law attorney. Divorce and child custody can be awful...it is awful!! But Sami has made my experience a lot easier. He is always quick to respond with any questions I may have, especially when everything feels so uncertain in a time of divorce. He made me feel at ease with my situation. I would recommend Sami to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He is professional, reliable and affordable. Thank you again Sami!

This review is really long over due. But I feel like I should write it in order to help others in search for a good attorney, just like I was 2 years ago. Sami is a great attorney, very knowledgable, professional, honest and efficient. He won't sugar coat or give you just the unswear you want to hear, but he is honest and compassionate. He empathizes with his clients. Divorcing was the hardest experience in my life. It was a difficult divorce and Sami was able to make it less stressful with his knowledge and personality. He has a way to calm things down. While lots of attorneys out there will try to escalate the conflicts in order to make more money, Sami will try to calm things down in order to solve the conflicts easier. Thank you Sami.

I would recommend him to anyone looking for a family law attorney. He is one of a kind. He actually cares about his clients. He is really responsive and helpful. He is not like the other lawyers out there who only cares about the money. Sami will treat you like a friend and will fight for you to get the best outcome you can get.

I would recommend Sami to everyone! He has truly picked his calling in life... He does not charge any extra fees, he is very affordable and is the most honest upfront lawyer anyone could ask for. I used Sami for a custody case and left more than satisfied with the outcome. With his pleasant demeanor and confidence in the court room; gave me a sense of ease in a difficult situation. Thank you again Sami!!!! :)

    Stay away from this Attorney !!!! I swear, this is the worst attorney I have ever dealt with. I hired Sami for my divorce case since June 2020 as he recommended by Yelp in San Diego area. From that time until now (May 2021) Sami has done nothing except submit the divorce papers in the court since June. I'm contacting him periodically by phone and email to inquire about what he is doing for the case, but without any response !!! Unfortunately, a whole year has been wasted for nothing!! I paid him a flat fee amount of $2,435 for nothing !! Again, don't lose your money and time. Don't hire this guy. I just want to comment on your reply to my review. Would you please explain which tasks you have completed? You do nothing!!!! You charged a flat fee for nothing, if you did something please explain it. Just check your email and phone and see how many emails and calls without any responses!!! Is that your professionalism to deal with your clients? Have you asked me for extra fee and I refused? You just let me wait for a whole year for nothing. I hired another attorney, she completed all the requirements and she got the trail within one month only!! Once again, you charged me the fees for nothing you did !!!

    This review is long over due! Sami has gone above and beyond with helping me get through a divorce. I truly lucked out when choosing him as my family law attorney. Divorce and child custody can be awful...it is awful!! But Sami has made my experience a lot easier. He is always quick to respond with any questions I may have, especially when everything feels so uncertain in a time of divorce. He made me feel at ease with my situation. I would recommend Sami to anyone in need of a family law attorney. He is professional, reliable and affordable. Thank you again Sami!

    This review is really long over due. But I feel like I should write it in order to help others in search for a good attorney, just like I was 2 years ago. Sami is a great attorney, very knowledgable, professional, honest and efficient. He won't sugar coat or give you just the unswear you want to hear, but he is honest and compassionate. He empathizes with his clients. Divorcing was the hardest experience in my life. It was a difficult divorce and Sami was able to make it less stressful with his knowledge and personality. He has a way to calm things down. While lots of attorneys out there will try to escalate the conflicts in order to make more money, Sami will try to calm things down in order to solve the conflicts easier. Thank you Sami.

Fantastic attorney! Well prepared for court and incredibly competent and persuasive. Cassandra is calm in her approach and very caring towards her clients. Her knowledge of the law carries over Into the courtroom giving the client the confidence that she is doing EVERYTHING possible to win the case. In my circumstance it was a slam dunk! Would chose Cassandra again and again.

Cassandra Hearn represented me in a particularly acrimonious divorce and DV case. She was always professional and well-prepared for our many court appearances. Cassandra communicates well and often, and is clear, concise, and realistic with information and expectations. Divorce is extremely difficult, but having an attorney who has integrity, and is kind, intelligent, and knowledgeable makes it bearable.

Cassandra and her team have assisted me with family matters over the past few years. She was referred to me by a friend and I in turn have referred her to numerous individuals facing custody issues or other family issues. She is responsive, detail-oriented, and very honest when it comes to managing expectations regarding potential court decisions. She has gone to court twice on my behalf and both times I could not have been happier with her level of preparation and professionalism. I continue to consult her whenever issues arise. 10/10 recommend.

Stay away from Ms. Hearn unless you want incompetent representation and someone who only cares about cashing your checks. She "represented" a close friend in a custody dispute her with ex-husband. I am aware of everything she did and didn't do during the time she represented my friend as I was left to help clean up some of the mess. Ms Hearn failed to communicate with or respond to my friend repeatedly, failed to timely file important documents, claimed she served her adversary on dates when she never did, and failed to write letters to opposing counsel after repeated requests to do so. One of the letters she did write had to be completely rewritten because it looked like it was written by a third grader. My friend was forced to hire another local attorney and now she is severely prejudiced because of Ms. Hearn's gross ineffective assistance. The absolute ONLY thing she cares about is getting paid. I'd search for another attorney in the area if you need help because Ms. Hearn is not the answer you are looking for.

The most honest, organized, & professional attorney with whom I’ve ever had the opportunity to work. Having Cassandra on my side has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Thank you, Cassandra for your informed advice & excellent work!

Attorney, Maria Taylor, has a kind, compassionate heart along with honesty, integrity, etiquette, knowledge, intelligence, the power to persuade impossible and unpredictable! By working with her, I shortly noticed even more treasures of her professionalism along with most magnificent personality! Ms. Taylor has done what seems impossible during my divorce! She was with me all the way in the process going thousand extra miles. She will WIN your case, your heart and protect your future!

I have consulted with Maria Taylor during some of the most stressful circumstances in my life and she was really an amazing resource. Not only was she very knowledgeable and professional, but her calm and empathetic demeanor gave me much needed emotional support at the time it was most needed. At the same time Maria was always very forthright and honest about what I could expect and told me the truth even when it may not have been exactly what I wanted to hear. If I have any family law issues in the future, I'll definitely go back to her.

I've worked with Maria for years. She's probably the most skilled and zealous family law attorney I've encountered. I've repeatedly seen her go above and beyond for her clients to put them in the best situation possible. Nobody ever wants a divorce, but if you need one, you couldn't ask for a better lawyer to help you through it.

Maria Taylor goes above and beyond! My case was tough, contentious, and the opposing party did everything they could to drag it out as long as possible. That is when you need an attorney with experience and professionalism. Maria saw through their tricks and she fought like a barracuda, bringing a swifter and very favourable resolution for me. Thanks to her recognizing inconsistencies and unethical procedures on their part, she also won me partial attorney fees and a sweet extra offer during mediation. I also want to mention her promptness in returning emails and phone calls – I never for a moment felt alone in this. I most highly recommend her!

Professional and helpful. I would recommend Maria Taylor, you wont regret it.

Is not worth it.you would gr any helpers.just waste your money and time .No body care about your case. Find some where else. But is not here. You will like me . Spend a lot money ????????. Is nothing worth it.you will lose you case and your Money's.

I highly recommend Tara Yelman and her team. I used Yelman & Associates in my divorce. She was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her billing to be transparent and highly efficient. I found her to always be better prepared than her opposing counsel. She was always the one to recommend creative ways to resolve negotiation sticking points. And her knowledge of the law and judicial procedure in court was outstanding -- helping to shorten the process and work with me and my ex to find solutions that worked for both of us. Even after the proceedings, she has provided ongoing guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post divorce -- which has been crucial in helping my family move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend.

Hands down all the way for Tara Yelman. She was g-d sent. A true attorney who wants the best for their client. I've met with other lawyers prior to retaining her. There are a lot of attorneys who are just there for your money and don't want to work hard including after hours, holidays, weekends. They just want to settle and take the easy way out. Unlike, Tara she put her 110% into your case and her expert advice is incredible. She's worth every PENNY! She works nights, weekends and even holidays if there is something serious. Remember folks, stuff happens when its after "office hours" or you get served for an Emergency hearing on Friday at 4 pm to appear in court on Monday or Tuesday morning. You have to be ready for whatever comes your way! Tara ,you are the best including your right hand Geoff and others!!

I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years. I've seen the quality of the arguments made on my behalf and Sara always had clear thoughts and rational behavior with opposing counsel and the court. The team at Yelman did great work. Most important in this process is the cost. Clients are often driven apart by their lawyers, which benefits only the firms involved. Trust me -- I experienced this before Yelman, as did my ex. Sara did not inflame for the benefit of further court actions (and therefore fees). She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions. Moving to Yelman over the past 4 years was the best financial choice I made over this extraordinarily challenging phase of my life. I am so grateful for their representation and guidance, and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michelle Paul was nothing was ever "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce process from start to finish, Michelle kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Even though I filed for divorce, 6 months later I had a change of heart and decided to have Michelle stop the divorce two weeks before going to court. Michelle listened and was very supportive of my decision, and worked quickly with the other councilor to resolve all remaining issues. I highly recommend Michelle Paul! Todd Hurt, Retired Navy

Another outstanding job for Michelle Paul and her team. Michelle and her team were my legal representation in 2017 when she pulled an almost impossible task to gain custody of my 2 kids and a move away outside the United States. We enjoyed Japan for 3 years and we owe it to her and her team. We have been state side for two weeks. Today she accomplished yet another challenging task in our court teleconference. She terminated spousal support completely; along with additional custody time share in our favor. Words CANNOT describe the impact she has made to our lives. Highly recommended. God bless her and her team.....

Michelle was more than helpful throughout the entire process. She was accommodating, nourishing, and honest. There's no person I'd rather have to help me through my tough legal situation.

To All Who Seek Family Counsel Michelle Paul is the one!! First a big THANK YOU to you Michelle for being there for me throughout my divorce case. You were and ARE professional, knowledgeable, caring, very detailed-oriented and always with a smile. You took on my case with ease and ensured it was resovled in a timely manner. As a military officer, you stood by me and always explained the law in simple terms to me and that means alot to me. At the end of the day, I came out of family court VERY satisfied with my case. As my opening statement reads, anyone whether civilian or military, seeking GREAT legal counsel, Michelle is the one!! Again thank you Michelle for being MY attorney.

Michelle Paul and her firm have been absolutely professional with me. They worked tirelessly to help me with my case. Michelle was determined not to back down when it came to getting me and my Daughter exactly what we were entitled to. Her knowledge of family law just blows me away. Her work ethic is absolutely impeccable! Michelle truly cared about my case and would call just to calm me down. What other attorney would do that? Never a disappointing moment with our representation!

Second time I've worked with this law firm, specifically Mr. Matteson. On my own personal experience Scott and Matteson Family Law have worked in the most professional manner. They respond fast to all phone calls, message, etc. Mr. Matteson is on top of his game! Straight forward type of lawyer that will guide the case to the right path. Even though my case was dismissed on my behalf he always kept me on the loop as to what evidence is needed on my part to prove a compelling case. If I have to go back to family court again I will definitely hire Mr. Matteson again. Thank you!

Mr Scott has been in the game for a minute. He is well seasoned and very much respected within his profession. If your looking for the cream of the crop well god must be on your side , cause you found it!! I left this journey not only with a great attorney but a new found close relationship with a stand up family in Scott Family Law Remind you that I am a father that won custody of his children and got attorney fees awarded. Best investment I could of ever made for the CHILDREN! That being said What y’all waiting for... Let’s Get it!!

Mr. Scott spent more time reviewing my case and taking the time to make sure I understood what the best plan was. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He was not trying to take at the little resources I had and push me to retain him. Instead, he made me wish I had met him sooner. Thank you so much Mr. Scott. You were the angel I had been praying for!

The law offices of James D Scott has helped me a few times with problems I've had with family law. Mr. Scott's office staff it's very professional. There attentiveness and quick response to questions and phone calls is always so appreciated during a difficult time.. Mr. Scott takes his time to explain in detail the process every step of the way. Thank you for such great customer service

In my case, I tried to settle on my own. Opposing counsel was very aggressive and pushed me to a point where I had to hire someone. I am so thankful for James Scott and his office for guiding me through this difficult process. Mr. Scott educated me, protected me, and fought for me. I highly recommend a consultation with Mr. Scott before you hire anyone else. I sleep very well at night knowing that opposing counsel bit off more than he could chew.

    Mr. Scott spent more time reviewing my case and taking the time to make sure I understood what the best plan was. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He was not trying to take at the little resources I had and push me to retain him. Instead, he made me wish I had met him sooner. Thank you so much Mr. Scott. You were the angel I had been praying for!

    In my case, I tried to settle on my own. Opposing counsel was very aggressive and pushed me to a point where I had to hire someone. I am so thankful for James Scott and his office for guiding me through this difficult process. Mr. Scott educated me, protected me, and fought for me. I highly recommend a consultation with Mr. Scott before you hire anyone else. I sleep very well at night knowing that opposing counsel bit off more than he could chew.

Highly recommend the team of professionals at Primus. I'm an active duty service member and they worked hard and were very realistic and attentive to my case. I got my kids back after the navy sent me away and my ex went to mork on me. Definitely worth every penny and I was able to win my case all due to the support and work my lawyer and her paralegal i won't name drop them but they rock. I would Absolutely recommend them to anyone going the a divorce or custody battle.

Kimberly is very professional and hard working. I didn’t think I would have a chance of getting my daughter back. Kimberly fought hard. She is always responsive and caring. She was always aggressive and strong in the court. I was very lucky to have her fight by my side. I will never forget her. I followed Kimberly from her previous firm. I made sure to have Kimberly. I was impressed and comfortable with her. The case ended well. I have been living my happiest days alongside my daughter. Thank you Kimberly!

Highly recommend Primus Family Law group! They were patient with my lack of knowledge and worked with me to achieve expected results. Kimberly Soule Esq. was a pleasure to work with and an absolute pro. Hopefully will not need legal guidance in the future, but if I do, they will be the first call.

Worst law firm I have ever dealt with! Represented my daughter for two ten minute hearings. Came totally unprepared, did not defend my daughters position at all! Paid $4000 for the twenty minutes of representation and fired them! Then they sent my daughter a $2500 bill on top of that. Insane!

Bonnie is awesome. She came highly recommended and I was impressed with her divorce podcast. Bonnie explained every step of the process and answered all my questions. Bonnie cares about her clients. She is experienced and very knowledgeable on the law. Bonnie and the Primus Family Law staff worked to finalize everything for me, easily and speedily.
