You need a great family law attorney? You need an attorney to fight for you? Lindsey Bannerman is your go to!!! I found myself at the lowest place of my life, going through an addiction to alcohol and I lost my time with my child. I felt like the biggest loser and the most horrible father!! Lindsey was honest and up front with me, from the start. I had A LOT of trash on my street that I had to clean up. Lindsey guided me along my journey, was extremely patient and very understanding as well. When she was called upon all she did was hit grand slams!! I was hoping she would hit homeruns, but never expected her to hit grand slams. She fought for me through my child custody battles and aloud me to get more and more time with each and every court date. All she and we did was WIN!!!! I couldn't be any more happier and pleased with Lindsey and her team. Extremely professional, always polite and on top of my case every time I had an issue or question. I highly recommend calling Lindsey for your family law needs and/or questions. Guaranteed you will see how much of a sharp shooter and sniper she is.

Amazing! I contacted Lindsey through a message service on-line! Lindsey’s office got back to me right away and scheduled a very reasonably priced consult. Lindsey is taking on an adult adoption for me that is very special to our family! Lindsey is kind, professional and explained the process thoroughly. My family feels so blessed that our paths crossed and she is making a dream come true! I highly recommend her for your family law needs!

Calling Lindsey Bannerman to help me was one of the best decisions I have ever made. She is a wonderful person. My situation was very lengthy and complicated. I had called previous lawyers and even had hired a lawyer before her. While other lawyers did give me some great heartfelt advice, they were not interested in helping me, as they said they felt like it was going to be a long road and not enough compensation for their work. I almost gave up hope. I am a single mother with a son who has special medical needs and I had been fighting a custody battle as well. I prayed hard on what to do when I felt my options were running out and the little money I had, was wasting away with no solutions. I had a moment of despair, and literally prayed for hours on what to do. I woke up the next morning remembering someone had told me her name years ago, and I picked up the phone. She saw me in her office, and said she felt my story, and understood I needed a legal voice, and would be glad to help me and see this through. I cried. I was so happy I had finally gotten to where I needed to be after many months of research. I wish I would have called sooner! Her staff has been so helpful, and get back quickly with any questions you have. They never once made me feel silly with any questions I had. Lindsey stayed with me every step of the way and guided me and genuinely had my back from the moment we met. I would not have gotten through these last couple of years without her. She eased any insecurities and anxieties I had and professionally stood up and spoke about everything my son and I needed. We finally had a voice! I thank God everyday for her. Thank you to the entire office. If you are searching for a lawyer that does the right thing and whose heart is in the right place, this is the office to call! My son and I sleep safe and sound everynight thanks to this office. She's a go getter. Thank you Lindsey!

Used up my legal benefits before finishing any work other than my divorce was filed, which I learned later it could be done easily through self help center. Her legal assistant would contact me via phone calls or emails multiple times for same misunderstanding she made, then charged me for every contact including the ones she apologized for her mistakes. Refused to give me back copies of the files that I submitted. Made falsely documents and then rushed me to sign them. Evan charged my legal insurance, her assistant charged my personal deposit account, called retainer account. After I used the self help service, learned that the some work they had charged me for was no different than doubled dipping. Ignored my email and missed my first CMC, I personally showed up at first court date, but it was some one else representing my case whom I did not know, and that attorney did not know I was at the court since we have never met each other...It messed up. After I ended their service, found out my 15 hours or $3000 legal insurance benefits was used up by her, my deposit account was charged by her assistant was close to $2000, total charges were close to $5000, what was done? Self help center showed me later that nothing else was done besides the divorce was filed which cost less $500. This was my experience. Quite a pain while going through divorce hardship.

I met with Ms. Evans for the first time on July of 2017 to help me with my amicable divorce case. I was very impressed with how detailed and sincere she was. During our meeting, she asked me detailed questions about my situation and took notes the entire time. She was very efficient in preparing the documents for my divorce case that my husband who had a very unpleasant experience with his lawyer couldn’t help but compliment Ms. Evans on her honesty and efficiency and told me he wished he had her representing him. My divorce though amicable was very emotional experience for me. Having Ms. Evans representing me made it a whole lot easier to deal with. She was very considerate thought the entire process and got things done in a timely manner. She responded to my inquiries fast and gave me detailed advice. She is a person of integrity and I highly recommend her.

It has been five months since I have been working with Breanna and Jacob and I am impressed with the level of service they have been providing to my family law case. They will always support you during challenging times and will guide you every step of the way. It is a law firm that will actually listen to you. When looking for a family lawyer in San Joaquin County, I would recommend San Joaquin Family Law.

Working with Brianna and Jacob Benguerel was a real pleasure. I came in with a problem of the ex-husband not wanting to pay me money he owed me from that sale of a property and they were able to not only get me the money that was owed to me but able to put a lien on the house that he was trying to sell in order to get that money. The situation was very time sensitive and they worked really hard to make sure that I got what I needed. Their attention to detail as well as their professionalism were greatly appreciated. Brianna was very personable and was always there to calm my anxiety as well as answer any questions that I had. They definitely made the process that I was so terrified of a lot easier. Definitely would recommend them for any family law needs that you may have.

Where do I begin? Separations in itself can be not only stressful, exhausting and embarrassing to say the least! But then having to deal with an unnecessary battle over children who innocently have no say in any of it. I was almost stripped away from time with my best friend.. my son, 7 years of age who knew nothing but being by his fathers side all his life. And despite what drama, bickering and false accusations followed from a nasty separation and bitterness, I have Jacob from Family Law to thank for going above and beyond to make sure my son still had his father in his life. It was a circus show of a ridiculously uncalled for conflict on the other party’s behalf, but in the end morality, humanity and due diligence From Jacob favored my fight for my son. Thank you again, I’m forever grateful for your services!

I recently retained San Joaquin Family Law to represent me in a custody modification. Mr. Bengueral was very helpful in answering any questions I may have had and representing me in our current case. The paralegal, Breanna, was great in answering any questions I had, returning phone calls, and providing me the most up to date information. IHI was not 100% thrilled with the outcome, however due to Covid-19, I had my court date via video conference and it made it a bit difficult to discuss with Me. Bengueral during the hearing to address other issues the previous party had not brought up before this. I do understand this is not his fault and would choose him to represent me again in the future if necessary.

I have had the honor to knowTemica Smith for over 6 years, to know her as friend, attorney and manager. I have referred so many to her needing legal representation and to say she’s just an attorney or does her job isn’t justice… she fights for you as if you were her own family. She wants to know your story and help you. She’s professional and she was made to be an attorney. No doubts in my mind she works hard and wears her heart on her sleeve. You need any legal representation, hire Temica. She is honest, intelligent attorney and will fight for you.

It took me a few weeks to write this review, but I have to make everyone aware of this office. My ex who happens to be a narcissist filed to go back to court based off tons of lies he made up about me. He was granted custody pending trial. His schedule that he had consisted of 3 days every week and I provided transportation. This lady sent me to court with an inexperienced lawyer. She agreed for me the primary parent since birth to only have my children 24 hours one week, which is from 7:30 p.m-7:30 p.m the next night. I work and they go to school, so of course that’s not really any time for us to spend together. I get two weekends a month. The attorney also had comprehensive issues as well. I had to constantly repeat things that she had wrong multiple times. These people have no care in the world for anyone. She tried to explain, but how do you explain this? This is basically a office that encourage people to allow people to push them over, and accept it. You should never be inconsiderate of a excellent mother and her children. If they knew this was the plan, they should’ve let me go somewhere else. I expressed multiple times how uncomfortable the environment is there with him, and they accepted that. I don’t appreciate this poor service at all, especially due to me putting everything together. She literally just had to show up to court, and she never even presented anything in court. If you love your children don’t go here. They also offered a partial refund, but I have yet to see anything returned yet. Don’t go here at all.

I hired An attorney at this office to help me fight a case for Full physical custody for my children. The father already had a violent background and had been charged with domestic violence multiple times, so i figured this would’ve been an easy custody battle. He presented to court my kids and I lived in an unsafe environment, so they gave us 60 days to leave the ONLY place we had to live. My children and I ended up homeless for MONTHS. My attorney told me that my kids could ABSOLUTELY NOT be at the household we had lived in otherwise I’d lose custody. This entire time since that court hearing the father of my kids has been pawning them off to that same household he said was unsafe, on HIS weekends AND behind my back. Mind you, he only gets them TWO weekends out of the month. I thought they were not allowed there?????? I was told by MY ATTORNEY I’d lose custody of my kids if they went to this household!!!!!! Now every time I find out he took them there I can’t call the cops because When I did they said there is no paperwork Filed in the system stating that they can not be there. I Feel played! I wasted money on this case for nothing! The attorney typed up a 7 page declaration. She did not present not ONE thing in court to fight against my case. I felt she was more on the other party’s side than mine. I feel like I should have got my money back. Now they are charging me over $500 Of extra charges for BS contact with this attorney over phone or through emails. The system is corrupt. Thank god the father canceled the last hearing that was scheduleD because I would NOT want this attorney to represent me again, I rather represent myself!

Dianne was referred to my sister by three different attorneys, be aware if you want custody of your children DO NOT HIRE THIS WOMAN. She will send in a brand new attorney with zero knowledge of the case at hand, this woman sent in a different lawyer the day of my sister's court hearing. If you can afford the top dollar attorney please go with that choice. This was a very unfortunate situation, I wonder if my sister were white if she would have been treated differently.

I was offered good service and Lisa spoke to me listened to me and my case was really complicated so she offered me another phone consultation for free after analyzing some documents. In total she gave me 3-4 phone calls lasting over an hour and I only paid once for 30 mins. I've been to every law firm in stockton and have not found any other like Dianne Butler & associates.

I would like to share my experience of going through the divorce with the readers, before I knew about this firm and Casey, I went to another firm in Merced which was recommended as a prominent attorney, his wife as his PA asked for lots of documents and forms to complete which took me while and with help of other I did , they asked for lots of money to start with I see to their demands over and over, kept me waiting for several years , and asked for more and more money, any time I went to ask for the progress on my paid time I learned more about his family birth , accidents, divorce and death than my own case, finally I refused to pay more money until I see him in the court, he responded by giving back piles of papers which was supposed to be my file and showed me the door. I start searching and my son recommended Casey, I really believe she is not just the attorney with exceedingly professional , caring, knowledge, organized and readiness skills qualities, I believe she is an angel, when I saw her and my file was organized in different folder I noticed most essential part of my documents were missing, but she comforted me and with friendly attitude tried to sort my problem, with fraction of money I paid to the other firm within 6 months with readiness beyond my believe she solved my problem, I would like to say thank you my angel you are excellent.

The H.F. Layton Law Office has represented us in several cases, all of which we have won. One of the cases was delicate and difficult to say the the least. Mr. Layton and his staff worked tirelessly and proficiently on our behalf. Even in stressful moments Mr. Layton was patient, encouraging and understanding. 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. He is deeply and personally invested in his work. This is an impressive office! I cannot recommend the offices of H.F. Layton more highly!!!
