I’ve used Linda Garrett 3 or 4 times now for her coaching calls and each and every time she lays out exactly what is needed and what I need to do for my next step in my case. She gives honest, true, professional opinions on your situation and always makes it relatable and explains it in a way you can easily understand. I also love the fact that if she feels you can do this case on your own, she will suggest that you just do a coaching call instead of retaining her. Which, is not usual for a lawyer, especially for one in such high demand as her.

Linda was very professional she answered all my questions and made me feel more confident in myself in starting the process. She let me know she is there for me if I need anymore help. I love her unbundled services especially for us struggling to make it parents or not parents during this pandemic. I will definitely use her services if needed again.

Ms. Garret was very responsive and could get an appointment very quickly. Out of all the attorneys I’ve dealt with over the last 8 years she was finally an honest and trustworthy person. She looks out for her clients best interest and is not just trying to take their money. She really wants her clients to succeed and be prepared for any outcome. She has excellent advice for all the varieties of situations that can happen! She helped me get through a very hard time and gave me the best advice and coaching that I’ve ever received in family law. After a horrific 8 years of custody battles and dealing with the court systems I can say a big Thank You to Ms. Garrets coaching! That she really helped me see things in a different perspective and made a huge impact on hopefully never seeing a court room again! I highly would recommend her coaching services if you cannot afford to retain an attorney or just need some Family Law legal advice.

I had the opportunity to work with David Knecht while finalizing the details with my divorce. I honestly think if I didn't have a good attorney, I would have lost everything. Mr. Knecht came up with a brilliant legal strategy that helped me get full custody of the kids, and a very fair amount of the other assets. If you are looking for a top quality, divorce, legal services, I highly recommend David Knecht Law.

We are very pleased with Sarah Orr. She guided us through a very difficult guardianship issue for our grandsons. The issue took more than a year to unfold. She was there, on time, fully informed, and very friendly yet professional. Sarah helped us see the most important underlying issues, and she told us clearly when she thought we were off base or had unrealistic expectations. She was willing to do what we wanted, while providing relevant guidance on how the system works; something we knew nothing about. She spoke down to earth non legalese language , and helped us understand how and when to proceed , when to wait, when to fight, and when to settle. We are very pleased to recommend Sarah Orr.

My ex-husband found her online to serve as a mediator for our divorce. I wish we had gone with another attorney. Not only was she horrible as an attorney but she's unreliable and very openly rude. She told my husband at the time that I was out to get every penny I could out of my husband and she said this while I was present. She also kept telling us that she would have certain things ready by a certain date but never followed through on it. We ended up firing her half way through our meditation process because she said she didn't know when things were going to get done. This is the person who initially said she had a lot of time to handle our case right away but once we paid her a retainer, all of a sudden, she got super busy and always had to go to court. So, I ended up picking up from where she left off and finishing it myself. One of the worst attorneys I have ever dealt with.

I can whole-heartedly recommend Sarah and her team based on my experience. No matter what your circumstances, dealing with a family law situation is not easy. This Law Office’s high quality professionalism, sound and thoughtful advice, superior communication and compassion helped me to complete this process with dignity. There are never any “winners” in this realm of law, but my ultimate outcome was equitable and has given me peace of mind. I never doubted for a moment that Sarah’s strategy and efficient use of time was always in my best interest. Thank you, Sarah, I’m grateful.

How can TIFFANY EVEY your senior paralegal and office manager rate you 5 stars? Isn’t that a conflict of interest? ~ Horrible experience with Pakpour.

I cannot begin to tell you how terrible my experience was with Lisa Mendes. It was my 1st time hiring an attorney and I cried after the case was over and felt so helpless and hopeless. She knew I was vulnerable and didn’t know anything about court or family law. These are people who are supposed to help you fight your case. I lost my case and to make matters worse, there was a conflict of interest with the opposing attorney. Apparently they knew each other. Please make sure you have a good sense of feeling about your attorney before paying them all your savings. MaKe sure all your questions and concerns are answered and not rushed. Are they truly explaining the case to you for you to understand? There’s a lot of legal lingo you won’t know but this should be explained, if you have a good attorney???? Do they really have your best interest at heart? Unfortunately in my case, I was doomed to begin with.

for not even 2 months of work on my case, $22500 in fees. They made is seem like they did so much work and it was such a basic case. Charged for things double triple times, because none of them even knew the status of my case at any time. Even opposing counsel mentioned they had know idea what they were doing especially with billing. Got no retainer back which I thought was illegal?? Also got charged for trust account replenishment which is NOT a bill I thought it was for work not yet done ?? Gave horrible legal advice which would have made a huge difference in my case if I listened to them. So glad i let them go

I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude to Vanessa and her team for helping me with my divorce. When I approached Vanessa, I was completely lost. My case was quite complicated as it was internationally involved, and I was scared that no one would take it. After my initial meeting with Vanessa, I felt much more grounded and breathed with relief. Not only are Vanessa and Alice so knowledgeable at what they do, they are also kind, and really supportive emotionally. They provided truthful and practical advice on how to proceed and were very patient every step of the way. I trusted them through every step of the process and I am extremely grateful for the outcome? Thank you Vanessa, Alice, and Kaitlin! I highly recommend this law firm to anyone seeking advice and help with family law.

I don’t even know where to start here. I came to this law firm from a cheap attorney who was constantly messing up but luckily the person taking me to court had no case so I would win but never because of the attorney. When I was looking for a new firm I had a free consultation with Vanessa and after speaking to many others Vanessa really stood out with compassion and a professional caring attitude. When my court case went to family court months later i immediately thought of this firm. When I called to book Vanessa she was all booked up after some disappointment I was told that there is a whole team here and another attorney was available... Sara Driesen took my case and she was beyond amazing! She was a fighter in court... and my personal therapist haha. I can’t express how important Sara has been to my children and myself and everything we went after we got in court! Far exceeded what I thought was possible. My kids don’t have to deal with the issues they were put through for so long. Sara also helped me come up with payment arrangements when court started to stretch out, not to the fault of Sara but to a compulsive liar we were dealing with in court. I had a great job at a architectural firm and unfortunately the pandemic left me strapped financially Sara was always understanding. Lawyers are expensive and often court stretches longer than expected and you should be prepared for that.... just a tip. I will say that the billing was a bit inconsistent in terms of when I was receiving statements this could be the pandemic and the like and sometimes reading the bill was confusing but after a quick email they did great explaining it and helping me understand what I was looking at. Sara, Molly, Brianna, and daisy are all amazing these ladies are all responsible and great at communicating and I felt like I had an army by my side I love and thank you all! You all helped in more ways than you know. I am forever grateful.

I will start by saying that I never give bad reviews for a restaurant or really any services. I don’t believe in that as you never know what is going on with someone Individually or the owners trying to make a living. Being that this involves my children and other families that may be choosing Vanessa, I am compelled to review. I gave $5,000 and the team blew thru it by reviewing basic items for a divorce/family Case I was ABOUT to embark on. I didn’t even start officially in court. I saw the 5 stars and knew it was $450/hr so I thought “wow she must be good.” It was no different than if I paid $50/hr to a no name. She doesn’t care about the children, I can tell you that. It’s a job to her and wow does she charge for it. I got my small amount of retainer left and moving on. I am one of several that had similar experiences as me with her. Trust your intuition when choosing a lawyer for something as important as your babies. Don’t go by reviews or hourly rate.

The team there takes care of everything and everyone. They are always there to answer questions, you feel safe, and you feel taken care of from a-z. There is a bit of magic to their screening process (I used a surrogate and she is like family to me now) and they knew from day one that we would feel this way in the end!

My husband and I were both blown away by how professional, caring, and knowledgeable Megan and her amazing team at Family Formation are. My only regret is not having contacted them sooner, but when things hit rock bottom and I was just about to lose hope, I got a glowing referral from a friend about Family Formation. It was a mere seven months from the day of our consultation with Megan to when we received the call about having been selected as adoptive parents to our wonderful little baby girl! Our five-year long journey in trying to have another child was rife with grief, loss and setbacks, but it culminated in a wonderful experience and relationship with Megan and her team. My husband and I felt that her legal and emotional support were unparalleled (especially compared with other social service agencies and private adoption lawyers that we have interfaced with--both locally and out-of-state--over the years). Family Formation will always be an important part of our family story--forever!

Whenever we had a question there was always immediate follow through and a response. Mr. Layton and staff were enjoyable, and professional. In court it was very obvious that Mr. Layton was well liked and respected by his peers (from the Judge, court clerks and opposing counsel). We were lucky to have found him.

Randy was nothing short of amazing and inspiring. He took our case in the middle of a trial. Our lawyer at the time did not have the "chops" so to speak for what was a very contentious guardianship trial. We needed someone who could hit the ground running and Randy did not disappoint. He has a keen ability to quickly familiarize himself with the facts of the case and zero in on the crucial elements. Watching him in action almost makes we want to be a lawyer. He's was extremely articulate, incredibly respectful - paying the appropriate deference to the court, and quick thinking during cross examination and re-direct. His line of questioning was superb - laying the foundation, which allowed the story to emerge. He worked furiously and kept pace with the constantly changing directions of the trial. While Randy guided and advised us, he vehemently supported our decisions and the outcome that we were seeking. He is confident, firm when necessary, and never without a sense of humor that helped put us at ease and build trust. Thank you Randy for taking us on as your clients - we are so appreciative and in your debt.

After trying other attorneys--who often were condescending, overpriced, pessimistic and uncaring--I was so thankful to have found Warren Law Group. Randy and Larry are kind, decent people. They have good hearts and will fight for you. They were very direct with me and asked many insightful questions. Ultimately, they went to bat for me and made inroads that others before them couldn't or wouldn't do. They're smart, resourceful and creative and offered reasonable solutions. I was very happy with the results. They didn't overcharge me or nickel and dime me. They are truly stellar people, and I give them my highest recommendation for having your back and doing their best to help you. After many years, I'm still in touch with them on and off to say "hello", and they are on my Christmas card list. If you don't want to send your current attorneys a Christmas card, drop them, and hire Warren Law Group!

On meeting Randy with a box full of legal papers and 7 years of battles in a very ugly and time consuming divorce case, I knew I was for once in the right place. Randy took on the complexity of the case now at the appeals court, worked his legal knowledge together with his partner, they both worked relentlessly on my case to prepare responses etc etc. They had everything spot on in regards to my case and the law. Randy is a top professional and is brilliant in court with the top appeals Judges. Randy not only knows his stuff but he takes the time to also educate you on the law and what you need to know, he did so with ease and with humor and honesty. I felt totally confident and have the upmost respect and trust in Randy. Thank you Randy for getting me through one of the toughest times of my life, you are a truly outstanding person who I will always remember and highly recommend to whoever is in need of legal services.

Don’t hire a pregnant lawyer. I am a mother and I thought her maternal status would mean her understanding. What is actually did was she rushed through my case at the end because it was taking longer than she expected it would and was going to, and might interfere with her taking off for maternity leave as she was planning -instead of having another lawyer at her firm finish the job in a professional mannor. I got screwed over since I was self employed, she didn’t fight for the court to allow me to use my tax deductions (necessary costs of licensing and expenses to run a contacting business) these are allowed/deductables on my tax returns, and so the other attourney not wanting them allowed they increased my income by 40% so as much as the fathers who has no overhead expenses because he is an employee. So she didn’t press for it, the court added back necessary expenses and as a result I was granted only $180. Child support for my 2 young kids. This barely pays for a cell phone, a pair of shoes or any afterschool class for two kids. I referred a friend before my case was finished unfortunately-before knowing how awful a lawyer Erin is... My friends case was won because ge was abusive to their child. Father was ordered by court to pay the lawyers fees. Well my friend had already paid them because it’s required to be pais as you go along. So Levine Law Firm told her their policy is they don’t just give her back her money until After they collect it from the other party! He wasn’t even ordered to pay as much as she was to them-they don’t pay her back even monthly the court fees he’s paying back! He stopped paying and now they told her she has to take him to court again to get him to pay the court ordered lawyers fees (to get her money back from them once payments are completed) Wait- woukdn’t that be their job to collect payment from him themself, abd sue him themself if he didn’t follow the courts order to pay them? They still have not given my friend back her money, even for the part of the total bill they did get payment from the father. Levine Law Firm and Erin Levine are crooks and horrible lawyers working together with Erin.

I retained Levine Family Law Group to help me with a domestic matter that needed clearing up, from several years ago. I found the process to be easy, thorough, and professional. Monica Espinosa represented me and she was engaged, interested, compassionate, and intensely understanding of my situation. Throughout the entire process, which was approximately six months, one initial "in person" meeting was all that was required. After that, communication consisted of email and an occasional phone call - Monica was extremely responsive and made the process that much easier. I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm and, more importantly, Monica Espinosa. She went out of her way to ensure my legal issue was handled swiftly and professionally. Thank you, Erin and Monica. I truly appreciate you both.

Erin recommended working with and highlighted one of the most unethical, unprofessional, ineffective, and psychotic family therapists in the Bay Area, Alison Urdan, who is a nightmare to work with, devastating families and children, while carrying out her own profit driven agenda. She manufactures negative characterizations and works to give sole legal custody to fathers, especially in cases involving paternal domestic violence and abuses. Alison is not anything worth trusting your children or family to. Incredibly disappointing to see Erin blindly sell Alison on her website despite numerous attempts to let Erin know of Alison’s consistent history of wrong doing and illegal and unethical conduct.
