They did a great job with my divorce. They really worked hard to keep drama at a minimum. I feel like they had the best interest of my kid and mind and advised me fully on all of my options. They managed my ex well even though he did not have representation. Also, they navigated COVID with great communication.

Thank you Puja, Andrella and Eloisa for being professional, reliable and knowledgeable in helping me to get to a peaceful place about my divorce. A divorce is never an ideal situation and these ladies understand this well. They are consistently available, efficient and represented my interest well at every hearing. They are proactive in their approach in checking for new filings so there are never any surprises at the hearings. These ladies go above and beyond to make things easy for me during that challenging time. I highly recommended Sachdev Legal Group as their expertise and professionalism is unmatched. Love these ladies. Thank you for everything.

Sachdev Legal Group made my divorce as easy and painless as possible and was so professional and outstanding through the whole process. I first contacted Puja for a consultation when I was considering filing and she provided sound advice that proved extremely helpful when initially filing. The whole team at the practice was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely responsive through all the paperwork and the entire divorce. One way the team went above and beyond was to send cards or emails with their business updates and words of encouragement during COVID when the courts closed down. I thought this was a wonderful extra thing to keep spirits up during a difficult time. I would absolutely work with Sachdev Legal Group again and would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of Family Law assistance.

I reached out to the Sachdev legal group for resolving a messy situation. Any situation that requires you to hire attorneys is an emotionally charged situation making it challenging to see clearly. The paperwork is daunting and it takes time to understand the terms. My case was no exception at the very least. While Andrella and Puja handled the case and often guided me. Eloisa was my interface into the firm. She deftly managed my paper work and answered all my never ending questions. Eloisa translated legal terminology and requirements in simple terms. More than anything the entire firm was respectful, patient, and a beacon of tranquility in a bad situation. If you find yourself in a situation where you need lawyers I strongly urge you to give Sachdev Legal group a call.

First, Thank you to both attorneys Andrella Gonzalez and Puja sachdev for helping me and standing up to my ex husband. Second Thank you Eloisa Rodriguez for taking my calls with a smile and being best at your profession. The entire team was extraordinary knowledgeable with my divorce case. Also Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa cared and I felt thier sincerity towards me when I was emotionally not doing well. My Ex husband goal was to destroy me emotionally and to drag me in court to not sell the house....etc but at the end Andrella Gonzalez @Sachdev legal group got me everything and helped me to get through the divorce and still on my side incase my ex wants to retaliate. I felt the office charges ???? were reasonable for the work that they had to put into my case, worth every penny. They are the best divorce attorneys can anyone have and I felt blessed to have them as my attorneys ????????. Thank you again Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa. Amal

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.

In the middle of a crisis, like a divorce where you need a lawyer, you need someone who can help you make sense of just about everything. Lowenstein Brown does just that! Michele and Liz are an incredible team, and they have a wonderful support staff! They focus on your goals and what you want (they like to point out “it is your life, and when we are gone you have to be happy with this”). They lay out the process and expectations very clearly. They work well with support counsel and outside specialists. You expect your lawyers to be good at the law – it was a wonderful experience to find two people who also have great compassion and sensitivity to what you are going through. They care and it shows in how they and their staff treat you from the first meeting to the last. I highly recommend Michele Lowenstein and Liz Brown.

Liz Brown represented my ex (I was pro per at the time), and lied to the judge about ownership of my daughter's college account. She told the judge that it was owned jointly by my husband and me, attempting to seize the funds for reunification costs. After I retained counsel, my lawyer was able to show the judge the documentation (which the judge himself had signed a few months prior) that proved that the college account was legally owned by my daughter. My ex was fined $2,000 for the lie. Liz Brown was not honest, inflicting on me an unnecessary court hearing to have to fight for my daughter's college fund. I would never recommend this lawyer, unless you want someone willing to lie and cheat for you.

I researched and spoke with several law firms before carefully selecting Lowenstein Brown. I needed to be certain that the firm I selected could handle a complicated family matter. In my first meeting with Michele, Liz and their support staff, I knew I had selected the very best attorneys to handle my case. Their ability to communicate the necessary steps, combined with their empathy and compassion, were more than I could possibly have hoped for. The entire staff was available any time I had a question or concern. Where the opposing counsel was sloppy and slow, Michele and Liz were fastidious and timely. If you are uncertain about who to select to represent you, look no further, Lowenstein Brown is the firm I would highly recommend.

Couple years of ago we have problem first with our adoption being contested. We got through with that issue with excellent help from Atty Lowenstein & Brown. Then it became an visitation rights issue and again with professional assistance from both Attys now we able to have a peace of mind. We have interviewed couple of lawyers but decided to hire them because we felt comfortable talking to them and gave us the real scope of the case with no promises. Also, the staff are very professional especially Katina. They are in constant contact with us with changes or need for more information.

Congratulations on being awarded the TOP Attorney in San Diego County award by The San Diego Daily Transcript!

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!

I want to thank Siobhan Curley for helping me settle an issue literally over night. She stepped in when I needed support and walked me through the steps I needed to take to remedy an issue. She was kind, clear, and very knowledgeable about the law. After we met, I completed the steps she told me to take and the issue was resolved the very next morning! I can't thank her enough. She is such an intelligent and supportive human being. Immediately after we spoke, I felt calmer and more in control of the situation. Please reach out to her if you need legal advice, she is incredible!

Working with Michael S. Steiner at Goldberg Jones made my life a lot easier while navigating through the difficult waters of a very complicated and challenging divorce. Michael is not only a great professional he also has a personal touch that was very much appreciated throughout this ordeal. I strongly recommend Michael should you face marital separation.

Michael Steiner is a phenomenal attorney. He was very responsive and proactive throughout my divorce process. Frequent updates ensured I always stayed informed and there was never a lull in communication. The process was a bit drawn out becuase of covid but Attorney Steiner is durable and educated. Thank you again for the guidance and great results.

I want to thank Goldberg Jones for their help with my situation, especially Michael S. Steiner, Esq. he is a down to earth guy, professional and outstanding at his job, he helped me and guided me through the whole process. Guys, I really recommend them, they are in our corner and not only helping but defending us!! Thank you very much Michael S. Steiner, Esq. for all your help and guidance!!

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! I initially spoke to Zephyr Hill who agreed to be my attorney. However, when he sent me the retainer agreement he switched me without notice to Michael Steiner- WHO IS A HORRIBLE ATTORNEY! I should have dropped them then. Basically Steiner would respond to emails and phone calls sporadically at best and when you speak to him he seems to have his mind elsewhere. The last straw was when he agreed to file an ex parte on my behalf, however, after I followed up with him days later he tells me " I decided not to file it." No explanation for not communicating this to me. I will be filing a complaint with the state bar. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

However, when he sent me the retainer agreement he switched me without notice to Michael Steiner- WHO IS A HORRIBLE ATTORNEY! I should have dropped them then. Basically Steiner would respond to emails and phone calls sporadically at best and when you speak to him he seems to have his mind elsewhere. The last straw was when he agreed to file an ex parte on my behalf, however, after I followed up with him days later he tells me " I decided not to file it." No explanation for not communicating this to me. I will be filing a complaint with the state bar. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Helpful with the questions I had regarding divorce. But, $3,000 up front is a bit more than what I was expecting considering we're in the middle of a pandemic

I've been with Men's Legal Center for years. My ex-wife has taken me to court multiple times throughout the years since our divorce. My first attorney unfortunately past away but he was awesome. Fast forward to 2020 and the law firm isn't the same. I 4 trials this year alone. Two of them I was trying to change visitation. Out of all 4 trials, Men's Legal Center did not win away! My child support over quadrupled. Visitation didn't change. And my ex-wife's lawyers were ruthless & made me look extremely bad in the courts eyes. Men Legal Center made my situation why worse. Stay clear of Men's Legal Center. They were a great law firm, they were.

I found this website while searching for someone who could provide guidance for my son on a pending divorce.... I felt lost in my google search, but as I looked at the Mens Legal Center, i focused on the reviews of individuals... some were not flattering, but the name Francisco Berata consistently revealed excellent comments.. so, I took a chance and called the office and left a message for him... he called me back! He talked at length with me as I shared background on my son's situation and challenges ( plenty of them). Francisco was polite, understanding, knowledgeable and willing to invite my son in for a free consultation to hear his needs and to guide him to next steps... THANK you, Francisco, for your patience and compassion... Awesome!!

Mens Legal Firm plays this game where they pass you around the firm to different lawyers and ask for court hearings to be rescheduled to extend the your service. Meanwhile your bill is going up. I am Active Duty Navy. While deployed to Japan there wasn't much I can do with the courts from overseas so I hired Mens Legal Service to help me and they passed me around and rescheduled court dates for 4 years. I 100% do not recommend this place. I never write reviews. My service was so bad I had to take the time out to warm others to go some place else. I got divorced 4 years ago and I am still paying, actually let me rephrase that, I am still getting charged. I argue and beg with my representation to file motions to the court, to get answers from child support services and no one got back to me. I divorced my wife, gave her the marital assets, custody, alimony and child support. All I ask for was visitation with my children. All I ever wanted was for the visitation agreement to be modified. THAT'S IT! Mens Legal Firm plays this game where they pass you around the firm to different lawyers and ask for court hearings to be rescheduled to extend the your service. Meanwhile your bill is going up. The first lawyer their died, then the next 2 lawyers quit. Even the paralegal or secretary or what ever there title is quit. Each time someone quit or pass my case around I would fill the next person in on the situation and the current representation would start from the beginning and get no where. My ex-wife is very uncooperative so what I wanted was a motion to have the judge decide on visitation. The lawyers argued with me and told me they would try to call my ex and email her and work it out. They all got no where and charged me for the phone calls and emails. I screamed that I didn't want them to talk to my ex and they did not listen. Be prepared to be played with and charged.

I knew full well, as a military father in a divorce case, in CALIFORNIA, was going to get a raw deal by their liberal judges. But towards the end of my case my hired attorney left their firm and left me with an attorney who had no idea what he was doing. He even leaned over and whispering, asked..."you were in the navy right?" I could have saved a retainer fee and better represented myself. Fix this Men's Legal Center so my future military members do not have to go through what I had to endure. Regards, Mark Aid

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.
