When I hired Mr. Cavin I had been trying to battle for myself in court trying to get back four children that had wrongfully been taken away. My Ex earned over $100,000 a year and I had no earnings. He had hired a lawyer and had representation while I had tried to defend myself. I lost everything without a lawyer. I had been a homemaker for 9 years and he emptied our bank accounts leaving me barefoot and homeless. He got a restraining order that kicked me out of the house, despite the fact he knocked me out in my home, claiming I was unconscious because I was drunk. I was in jail for 19 days until all charges were dismissed by a Judge at the first hearing. But my Ex and his attorney concealed that from the Family Court and got 100% custody. When I first contacted Mr. Cavin I didn’t have the funds to hire him, but he talked with me on the phone for 90 minutes trying to encourage and educate me anyway. A few months later I borrowed the money and that was when my life turned around. I now have my children half the time, and I am working on getting full custody. I hadn’t seen my children for almost two years when Mr. Cavin and I worked together and gathered the evidence to prove I had been set up on a false Domestic Violence charge by my husband. The evidence showed the Judge he was a liar and I now have three days every week with my 4 children. Mr. Cavin also got the bogus restraining order dismissed and got me child support and alimony that had been withheld for 2 years. It is retroactive, and my Ex owes me thousands, AND was ordered to pay my attorney’s fees. Mr. Cavin and his staff handled my case with the utmost professional attention. As a client I feel that had it not been for Mr. Cavin I would never have been believed by the Court. Mr. Cavin truly has been my champion fighting a battle for me that only he could have won. The true care and concern I have received from Mr. Cavin has extended beyond my case and the court room. During my case I graduated from college. Mr. Cavin and his wife surprised me at my dinner with gifts for myself and my 4 children Mr. Cavin had gotten a court order that they be present for my college graduation despite my Ex’s opposition. My case has been in the process for two and a half years. It is not over as we are now dealing with custody evaluations. But I know that no matter how long it takes Mr. Cavin will be there till the end. When Mr. Cavin takes you on as a client he invests his heart and soul into getting you the justice you deserve. We all deserve to have a champion who will stand up for us and fight for us. If you’re in need of a champion your best choice is Kenneth Cavin, my attorney.

Mr Cavin advertises himself as being well known by court staff and he is right, everybody knows him. For more information look him up before you hire him. I didn’t. As a lawyer, this is my experience - he charged me for every little conversation we had. Even the free consultation is only for half an hour, after that clock is running. If you text or email you get charged, inclu for all personal conversations about his health. What you pay for retainer is nothing compare to what comes after - sometimes he will not answer phone calls, mail, email for weeks. Court date would approach and he would be no where to find. Imagine if you have something important coming up, like for example the custody of your child and you need to file papers but you can get a hold of your lawyer. His wife is the office assistant/manager and they both get sick together ( that’s what I been told once) and don’t answer any of their phones -he purposely asked the court that we come back for another hearing after I asked him not too. I was ok with what the court ordered. He told me that he is the lawyer and I can’t tell him what to do. But by coming to court again I had to pay him a big lump of money so it benefited him. - most judges don’t like him. So if the judge doesn’t like your lawyer think of how your case may turn out. -he is not a great public speaker and worse he did not come prepared. When judge asked him to summarize what we asked he was not able to do so. - I just got another bill from him and realized that there were charges in there that I paid long time ago. I never kept track of things. So if you decide to go at him, keep track of times you talk and charges in the bill to make sure you are not overcharged. This is my experience with Mr Cavin

In America, we are innocent until being proven guilty. It has been over five years and this man still has not been prosecuted. Why do you think that is? Your comments are incorrect. You do not know the merits of the case, therefore your flippant remarks are not only guesswork but are libelous. You should be cautious about what you say, especially in writing. Please read up on the term "defamation of character."

Zeppy has now protected two of my grandchildren and will definitely be the one we have to help with the other two. Zeppy and her entire office staff have been so compassionate and caring and have answered every question this Gamma threw their way. Zeppy is an actual human being who does care about the safety and well being of the children. She will go above and beyond to get what the children deserve and fight for their rights. My granddaughters were both allowed to have a voice and that meant the world to us. If you even hesitate to retain this office to represent you or your children, DON'T! I will forever be grateful for what she has done for our family.

I can't express enough how grateful I am that we were able to retain Zeppy Attashian in a very emotional custody case involving the very fervent wishes of my stepdaughter. We were having no luck with other attorneys, and none of them seemed to care what she was going through or her desires for her own life. Zeppy immediately put us at ease, showed care and compassion for our complicated situation (we retained her from out of state to represent us there). And her very quick and decisive course of action, as well as her guidance throughout the process, brought us to a VERY successful resolution. Our child is safe and happy because of her knowledge and dedication. Our child has been reunited with family she had been kept from, including her own sister. We are ecstatic. We also worked with Maggie and Vanessa quite often, who were always quick and efficient in their communication, and just like Zeppy always put us at ease with their kindness. It was a traumatic situation that they all helped us navigate as painlessly as possible. I truly believe their office cares about the well being of children in these horrible situations. Law is complicated and expensive, but this was money well spent with a reward that is PRICELESS. We will never forget Zeppy's role in this outcome. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

If you are searching for the right attorney you’re lucky you came across this review because there is no need to search any longer. I can attest first hand on how great Zeppy and her team are. The moment I walked through their office doors and was pleasantly greeted and I knew I had made the right choice. Zeppy KNOWS what she’s was doing. She had great insight and informed me on things I was not aware about. I had been dealing with my case for several years and she took a lot of the burden off of me. I felt confident in her knowledge of the law and her experience with cases like mine. If I had any question they we’re right there with an answer. I never doubted Zeppy and her team. Not once! They kept me informed of all that was happening and ultimately I was happy with the results. I “won” my case but the real victory was to able to work out our difference and move forward. I already had a friend ask me to provide them with Zeppy’s contact information. My friend was witness all that I was dealing with and wanted to help others by pointing them towards Zeppy. Please do yourself a favor, call now! Setup a consult. You will not regret it. Thank you Zeppy, Cathy, Heidi, Toni and the countless others that helped me through this. I hope I will never be in a situation where I’ll need legal counsel again but if I do, I know EXACTLY where to go.

I went seeking for a attorney after finding out that I might become a father and needed legal representation. As my case went on we found out that I was not the father and with Rebecca Medina’s assistance I was able to get off child support and be removed from the birth certificate. Throughout the case Rebecca and her legal team has been well at communicating information and legal strategy with me and my family, also she has been very flexible throughout the entire process. In the end I am satisfied with her and her team’s services and happy to be finished with the case.

As a single, first-time mom, I’ve reached out to Rebecca several times for a consultation in how to navigate potential issues with my daughter’s father. I’m always worried that I’m talking too much, or rambling on about information that’s not important. But each time, Rebecca has listened intently to my situation, asked helpful probing questions, and offered invaluable guidance. I know that my issues are probably small on the scale of what she’s qualified to handle, but she has never once made me feel insignificant and has made a genuine effort to understand my situation, take notes so she remembers me in the future, and offer me a comprehensive recommendation of articles to read, tasks to start working on, and contacts to get in touch with that could help with other aspects of my parenting journey. Her goal is to help me create a well-rounded support system, which she is apart of, that can help me with multiple facets of my situation with my daughter’s father (legal, mental/emotional, parenting, etc). It can be a scary world when raising a child on your own and trying to figure out how to navigate communication with the other parent. But after talking with Rebecca, I always leave feeling empowered, supported, and understood, with an array of tools and resources I can tap into for help. And the goal is always to take action steps that will avoid as much conflict as possible and stay out of the courts, which I really appreciate. If you’re needing an attorney, make sure to reach out to Rebecca’s office! She is knowledgeable, caring, and will help you navigate your issues, no matter how small or complicated they may be. I would recommend her to anyone, and am extremely grateful for her legal guidance and support.

The Divorce process sucks in CA but Rick and his team notably Leanna the paralegal were fantastic. It was a long process years due to unforeseen problems and wasn't cheap however, cheap was not the goal. The goal is to get a decision that is the most beneficial to you and your family and thats what I received. Some cases are more complex than others and complexity drives up the cost mine was like a Rubiks Dodecahedron. Overall the communication was a 10. I never felt like I was in the dark. The decision I got was a 9/10 sometimes you have to negotiate. I also used Rick for a trust and that was a much less arduous journey.

During an extremely emotional custody battle regarding my young daughter ,I was so lucky to find the law office of Rick Banks . I had a wonderful outcome and the office worked extremely hard with a short notice . Michele was amazing and I highly recommend her in easing your mind during a time of need . She was amazing from start to finish. Rick was extremely knowledgable and helped me come up with a vistation plan that suited my daughters needs . It was a win/win for everyone involved . I highly recommend this office . Rick even called me to check in before our court date after emailing me in the early AM hours helping prepare last minute. Excellent service with my hectic work schedule. They even called me when I should've been calling them . Thanks so much!

I was referred to Mr. Banks from a co-worker who had used him recently. At first I was a little concerned because he seemed like too much of a nice guy to be an effective divorce attorney. I was pleasantly surprised when we went into court and Mr. Banks ripped my ex a new one!! Not only was I able to get full custody of my kids, but Mr. Banks convinced the judge that my ex should only get supervised visits because of how he had been acting. Bottom line: don't be worried about Mr. Banks' easy going demeanor when you first meet him, because if you have to go to court, he's the guy you want on your side.

It was great to deal with Rick and his staff. The divorce process itself was extremely strong and emotional, but having Rick gave me the confidence that I would get everything I deserved and needed to move on with my life. After 9 months of back and forth non-sense from my ex and his attorney, he was finally able to get them to settle in court, before even going to trial. Not only did I get everything I wanted in my divorce settlement, but saved me the extra money by not having to prepare and go to trial. I give Rick the highest recommendation as a professional attorney.

During the extreme stress, I had a calming trust in his knowledge and experience with the complexity of company businesses, contracts and properties involved along with every other legal action. He is very honest, extremely hard working, never gives up, is committed to you as a person not just a client. He discusses everything, customizing to your individual needs and directs you in your best interests. He is of good character and has a strong purpose in protecting his client and his professional office is always accommodating and available to service you in a timely manner.

Paul helped me with a recurring case against an ex who had deep pockets and profound malice. He very competently moved my file through a series of motions and delaying tactics on her part, coordinating the whole with my counsel in yet another jurisdiction. You can rely on him to be the voice of legal reason, both for enforcement and child custody. Paul isn't cheap but you get what you pay for, and I got first-class service. To me that represents excellent value; don't skimp on something as important as your family.

Few of us really look forward to deal with a family law situation. When I began to look for a lawyer, I knew that I wanted someone who would understand the importance of my relationship with my son, and could feel some emotional connection to my case. From my first meeting with Erik, my confidence regarding my tricky custody case grew enormously. I began to believe that there was light at the end of the tunnel, and this belief turned out to be factually accurate. Erik has a deep knowledge of the law, and of human nature generally. Erik is a lawyer who is doing this work for the right reasons, and truly cares about making sure that his clients and their children get the most fair and best possible outcome from the court.
