During one of my most difficult times, attorneys Joshua Fabian and Elizabeth Mayberry were there to get me through my case. They stepped in with just a few weeks time to get caught up on my case and be ready for my court date. Thanks to them both I was able to regain custody of my daughter. I appreciate the help from all those at the firm who helped me win my custody case.
Highly recommend Claery and Hammond attorneys because they were there for me when I was trying to get away from my abusive husband of 5 years and trying to get custody of my 6 year old son. Joshua Fabian was my attorney for my court preceding and was there for any questions that I had with fast and clear responses. He included me during all strategies and made sure I felt comfortable and ready for every court date. Moving forward as a single mother the firm is able to work with me on payments so that I can retain an amazing lawyer on custody and divorce precedings as well. I feel very confident by having Claery and Hammond represent me and highly recommend speaking to someone if you are in a similar situation.
I received assistance from Jose Contreras and he walked me through everything that pertain to a parental case. He was very empathetic and trusting I would highly recommend this law office I received amazing service from their lawyers and billing personnel.
I highly recommend Claery & Hammond. The firm has assisted me during very stressful times. With their assistance, I now have primary custody of my daughter. I now feel as though I can finally move forward with my life. I want to personally thank Faith Corbaley and Scott Fingerlos for their hard work!
This is a review of my excellent experiences I had with this law firm. There were two attorneys assigned to my case, Faith Corbaley and Jose Contreras. Both are from the San Diego office. My case is a child support matter which started in 2012. Also in 2012, I moved to the Philippines. I am now retired and living on a fixed income from SS and OPM pensions. Being on a fixed income, I can no longer afford my support payments and my ex spouse is unwilling to change my support payments. As a result, I started being garnished from both my SS and OPM pensions for close to double the amount of the original monthly support payment. My lawyers submitted to the court an Income and Expense Declaration statement on my behalf and it shows that my expenses exceeded my income. Additional documents were also filed to the court by my lawyers and a court hearing was scheduled. The San Diego Child Support Services also conducted an audit and the outcome showed that a total of $3K was overpaid from the garnishments. At the court hearing, the judge reviewed all the documents submitted including the audit. After reviewing all the documents, the judge ordered the release of my two garnishments and ordered my ex spouse to reimburse me for the overpayments to be paid in monthly installments. Also, the judge ordered my ex spouse to pay some of my attorney fees payable in monthly installments. Finally, based on the Income and Expense Declaration document and other documents reviewed, the judge ordered my monthly child support, past due, and arrears be reduced and set to zero. I highly recommend Claery & Hammond for family law matters. especially my two attorneys, Faith Corbaley and Jose Contreras. Both are professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and aggressive attorneys. I feel comfortable and at ease when talking to them. It's like I am talking to two close friends or relatives and not as my attorneys. In summary, the work quality of my two attorneys in handling and resolving my case was beyond excellent. The case outcome would more likely be different and to the advantage of my ex spouse if I handled this case myself. Thank you so very much to Claery & Hammond and to attorneys Faith Corbaley and Jose Contreras for resolving my case!! Edward Y. Mapandan, Pangasinan, Philippines (formerly lived in San Diego, CA)

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.

I absolutely recommend Yvonne Rizzo for family legal services!! With an already burdening schedule, I was in and out of court with my children's mother consistently. Repeated motions for ridiculousness. My attempt was to be reasonable. However, after a completely false narrative and even a restraining order I felt as the court would believe anything they were told. After contacting Yvonne, I was not only relieved to have her caring and professional legal services on my side, I was impressed by the ability to finally be stress free and focus on my schedule, knowing I had yet another court date. I am thankful for the time, effort, and concern Yvonne put into my case. After a complete success in court, I cannot thank Yvonne enough. I not only recommend Yvonne, I have no doubt that for any future matters with my divorce, I'll simply call my attorney. Thanks Yvonne!!
Ms. Rizzo provided excellent legal services for our family. From the first meeting you know that you are in competent and caring hands. Her responsiveness to phone calls and emails instills great confidence. No one seeks legal advice lightly. We received expert legal advice. I recommend her services without reservation.
She is an awesome Father Advocate lawyer. Hard working very dedicated and honest Attorney.
Yvonne Rizzo is always available to talk to about my case. She maintains the highest level of professionalism and cares deeply about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.
I highly recommend Yvonne Rizzo Family Law Attorney to anyone not being treated fairly in the courtroom and in need of Legal Representation. I have been going through family law for a year now with 9 months of no legal representation. Eventhough I was no threat to my child and the mother is an alcoholic with prior DUI's just got arrested for a DUI, the court granted her full sole and physical custody and for me 10% visitation with 0% sole legal or physical custody. For the first 9 months I was constantly getting mistreated in the courtroom eventhough there were hard evidence of proof and proof of lies against the opposing party due to a bias judge. Out of the 9 months the mother of my child withheld my daughter from me for 5 months. During the 5 months I filed 3 ex-parte hearings due to visitation violation of court orders and safety concerns with proof and still got dismissed, 1 hearing was cancelled and not even heard by the judge stating it's " Not an emergency". Since i hired Atty. Rizzo, not only was I able to be heard without being turned away but she was able to get me visitations with my daughter again after 5 months but with more time and days with overnights too. I now have 35% visitation with 4-5 days every week with my daughter and looks to get better from here on. Thank you Mrs. Rizzo.

Review
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.

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.
Review
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!!

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!

The firm is the definition of excellence. My case was handled professionally, aggressively, and with compassion. I am extremely grateful, thanks especially to Megan Vito!
I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients and their best interest.
Lindsay is the best attorney in San Diego very passionate about her job. Works very well goes above and beyond. If you want the best she is the person to go to.
It's a great thing that I have called Fair Cadora first. I didn't expect them to be this good. They are very friendly and professional. Excellent communication, we had the most ideal outcome. Thank you, you are the best.
Kevin and team are highly motivated and passionate about what they do. Family law & divorce situations can be tiring and very stressful for all parties involved. The level of care and compassion they put into each individual case is bar none and truly what sets them apart. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. If you or a family member have been contemplating divorce, I highly recommend reaching out to Kevin to see what he’s able to do for you.

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!

I had great expectations for Ben and his crew, but what I got was subpar legal representation to say the least.. Sons mom filed a move away request out of the blue, and at first I was even contemplating whether, or not to even hire an attorney,because her allegations were so farcical, over the top, completely untrue, unfounded, and unbelievable. but with so much at stake I decided I would play it safe, and just pay the professionals. From the start I had questions about what was going on with my case, Ben, and his crew, are good at making invoices , and running up the bill, but they will not work for you. During the months leading up to the,” $8000 dollar train wreck”. I was never prompted for evidence, I was never called I had to voluntarily scan, and PDF evidence over to his office on my own, sometimes I would get a confirmation email, other times I would not. I asked if I could bring my emails, pictures, and text messages in for them to scan, and build my case file, but they fully took advantage of the COVID-19 restrictions saying, “ they weren’t allowing people personal visits into the office, because of the COVID”. This was another way they could focus on bringing in new retainer fees, and focus on the money aspect of it, opposed to the defense, and actual representation aspect of it. Guys do not hire these people, they will loose your case, you have been warned. On the day of the evidentiary hearing, evidence linking mom to illicit activities, gambling, and prescription drug abuse, was not presented. In addition threats made to me by other parties on moms side, like death threats, threats to come to my house, pictures of new gun purchases, and people holding them,that were sent to me, were not presented at the hearing. Upon cross examining me, Ben repeatedly asked me questions related to corporal punishment of my son, and stepson, the purpose of which, I still have not figured out. In the end the Judge ruled capriciously , chopping up family code section “ 3040” , while Ben just sat there like a deer in the headlights. I lost the half custody of my son, to a person with a history of bad child parenting, with a history of violent convicted felons, and drug addicts in the home. My exhibit list was virtually non existent, very few documents, half irrelevant, the other half of the exhibits indiscernible. Instead of quickly discrediting mom, and mounting a solid defense, against, a "I said so therefore, it must be allegation", Ben was unprepared, and made us both look bad. If O.J. Simpson was found not guilty again for another murder, it would not be more egregious, it could not be anymore off base than the train wreck that Ben, and his “ wrecking crew”, managed to create for me. Unbelievably there is more, In the end I asked them, “ to file a substitution of attorney”, with the court so that I could get get their incompetent rear ends off my case, and of course they dragged their feet for another two weeks, and I was not able to file a “peremptory challenge” in time, to ask for a new judge for my upcoming motions. I was very nice, and did not bother them, while they were on my case, in fact, this is the first time I have expressed my frustration with them They did not put the work in that they billed me for, and therefore, Ben was unprepared for what should have been an easy case, a case that was textbook example of what female on male domestic violence looks like. "I said so, so therefore it must be evidence". I paid $8000 dollars,and it made my problem much.much worse. Horrible job!
Embry Family Law jumped in when my regular attorney was not available (due to a conflict in schedule), and handled my Ex Parte matter perfectly. I know the attorneys and staff personally, and I see how diligent they are working for their clients, trying to provide the best possible outcome, every single day.
I used Embry Family Law for a child custody/support case... couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my legal issues! Ben and Nicholas worked on my case over a year due to the pandemic shutting down the court system. Regardless of what was happening, they continued to push forward till they were able to resolve my case. I will continue to use Embry Family Law for future family legal issues and highly recommend everyone do so as well!
Working with Ben Embry was great. He's very professional, responsive, and was always available to answer any questions I had. His team is also amazing and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would recommend Embry Family Law to anyone!
This firm represented the other party yet made me feel just as important when it came to my questions! The paralegal Nicholas was beyond helpful! I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing firm. They made the divorce process painless! Thank you!

This firm represented the other party yet made me feel just as important when it came to my questions! The paralegal Nicholas was beyond helpful! I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing firm. They made the divorce process painless! Thank you!

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.
