Damian has retired and moved back to Ireland. We'll miss ya

Mr. Nolan is an exceptional lawyer when he represented me with my family law case. Not only with the outcome of my case but with how he approached the matter. He gave me the confidence I needed to hear with all the doubts I was having prior to retaining a lawyer. I had the opposite suggestion from a different lawyer prior to consulting with Mr. Nolan, which further made my doubts about winning the case even greater. His no-nonsense aggressive approach was beneficial to my case and I could not even imagine how my case could be it it wasn't for Mr. Nolan. The entire staff was helpful, and was always there when I had questions. I am so glad I retained Mr. Nolan's firm for my family law case.

I called in to more then likely retain mr. Nolan . I couldnt even get past the assistan who says her name is Molly. I repeatedly explain I have a family law matter out of downtown Los Angeles. As such a sensative matter I think a personal assistant plays a key role when retaining an attorney.

I made an appointment with Mr. Nolan based on the good reviews he has. I showed up early one hour not expecting to be seen but the staff was great and friendly and Mr. Nolan saw me within 10 minutes of me getting there. I was in and out very quickly very pleased with the professionalism of the staff and Mr. Nolan. He was very friendly and honest. I highly recommend anybody looking for an attorney to pay him a visit.

Mr. Nolan is an excellent attorney. He is very honest and on point his team are also amazing. I'm very happy with the outcome of my custody case with my 4 kids. He is the attorney you want by your side. I wish i could give 10 stars Thank you to Mr. Nolan and your team

It has been over 60 days since I have last seen my baby, and I had been oblivious to my rights, after working with Mr.Duron we were blind sided by a restraining order, after serving the mother of my child, we had to prepare quickly and we did so. We won the case and the restraining order was denied, he and his team has helped me so much throughout this process and I would suggest them out of anyone. Best pricing as well! They truly do love with they do and care about their clients. I would give them 10/10! I will not see my baby soon after not seeing her for long. Thank you.

I had Paul on my case and not only did he not respond to me as much as promised but he failed to succeed in my case then put a new person on my case without any information about me or even notifying me first then went to court and caused me to loose everything I gained nothing but a very bad experience that caused me to only have viking rights and loose all access to my child now I have to do even more running around just to see her most horrible lawyer office ever don't waist your money I don't recommend this office to anybody they are liars and they don't listen its a waist of time and money!!!!!! They should close this office down:/

Going through a very nasty divorce case. Judge had granted three years full property control of my house to my soon to be ex wife. Mr. Duron fought that ruling and was able to have my soon to be ex wife to move out of my house in 31 days! Excellent experience with this firm. The entire staff is very professional, super grateful for the positive results! Thank you!

I hired mr Duron and his team around October of last year after dealing with horrible custody battle that was leaving me with no answers I was close to giving up but thanks to Mr Duron things have cleared up and things have been going right thanks to Mr Duron and his team I would recommend him 10/10 work

I am so thankful for having Tracy, who is Mr. Duron’s paralegal, she is by far the best when it comes to communication and helping you in every step of your case and making it an easy process with her guidance. Thank you Tracy! & thank you Mr. Duron for representing me.

Stuart Walker is generous with his time and kind . During my initial consultation he agreed to a conference call with my two adult children and myself. He spent time answering all of our questions. He was successful in negotiating a positive and timely outcome for me in a difficult divorce situation. He is truly a "human being" not the typical image of an aggressive lawyer. His office staff was sensitive and responsive to my needs during a very emotional time. He got the job done. A number one. Thank you Stuart.

I have been navigating my divorce without an attorney for the last few months and have attempted to get information over the phone from different attorneys from time to time. Then I found this Stewart Walker and even though I am not a client of his he has ALWAYS taken time out of his day to answer my questions over the phone. I appreciate that he is willing to help without demanding a consulting fee or asking for me to come into the office to meet him face to face and all of the information he has given me has been very useful. Thank you!

Stuart and his team helped me navigate through a domestic issue (TRO) with the attention to detail and professional knowledge required to not only layout my side of the argument, but also find the flaws in the case against me. They were quick to answer questions, and eased my concerns throughout the process. If you are fighting for yourself or a loved one, this team has the experience necessary and can be trusted.

I have known Mr Walker over 20 years. He has given me very useful advice and recently explained a different legal view to a legal problem I had. I was able to negotiate a reasonable settlement based on his assistance.

I have found Mr. Walker to be competent with a careful approach to representing his clients. When I have needed a consultation, his office has always made time for me. Last I feel his fee for service is more reasonable then many other law offices I contacted.

Worst attorney in Los Angeles, she charged me $5000 dollars upfront without even showing once to court, her filing fees are ridiculous. The day before my hearing, she called me in her office just to have her accountant asking for another $5000, she delayed my hearing for an additional 3 months. It was a total waste of my time and money.

Retaining this attorney was the worse mistake I had ever done. She is a money hungry attorney. paid her 15k in 5months. Because she was too interested in her vacations. This attorney abandoned my case for one month, missed several court appearances and did not tell me and at the end she said be prepared to pay alimony and child support. Entire office was unprofessional, would mail correspondence to wrong address and then tell me that the mail was returned. DUH wrong address. This happened multiple times. If there was a negative I would have give her one. RUN RUN RUN

Mrs. Gallegos represented me a few years back, she is an excellent attorney. Gets the job done efficiently. Would definitely recommend her!

Jeffrey is an exceptional lawyer. When I reached out to him I had already been a year into my case and felt like it was going nowhere. I decided to drop my lawyer and was referred to Jeffrey to pick up the pieces. With hesitation I gave him all of my trust as a last ditch effort to complete my case. He did not disappoint! Within four months he had everything completed. Not only did he make this process easier, but he kept me informed every step of the way. He was very responsive to emails and personally does all of his own admin work (so you know it will be done right the first time). Jeffrey is VERY REASONABLY PRICED as well. Thank you Jeffrey for your efforts in my case and making me feel like a priority. I would 100% refer my friends and family to him.

Attorney Stearman is professional in everything. My case was opened and closed within approximately 5 months, from ending of Jan to middle of July, 2021. At first, I was frustrated and did not know which attorney that I could ask for help. I received no recommendation so I did a research and luckily built my trust in attorney Stearman. Let me be straightforward, as long as attorney Stearman understood my situation, he completely and actively took control over the case. He showed me what outcome would be based on the supporting documents and evidences provided. He responded to my emails within 24 hours. When I did not think or go the right way, he actively guided me back to be on track. Especially, when the other party (who was involved in the case with me), caused too many problems, resulting their paperwork to be returned, as I suggested, attorney Stearman did his best to assist the other party as well. I had 2 cases going on at the same time, and when I explained how the 2 cases were related, attorney Stearman also showed concern that kept reminding me about how the deadlines of 1 case could affect the other. Long story short, if you really need help, please give yourself a chance to talk to attorney Stearman. He will definitely help you understand by simplifying and guiding you on the the right way.

My experience with the Attorney, Mr. Stearman was satisfying.. I had a few questions and he was very helpful and listened to my concerns.

Mr. Stearman was easy to work with, prompt, and very helpful guiding me through a very difficult time. Always answered my questions no matter what they were. And gave me an easy list of paperwork he needed and had the paperwork I needed to fill out ready to go. I would recommend Mr. Stearman to anyone.

Retaining Jeffrey Stearman was the best decision I could have made regarding my case. He was very knowledgeable and proactive. He is worth every penny and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing legal services. Five stars across the board.Thank you Jeffrey.

    Mr. Stearman was easy to work with, prompt, and very helpful guiding me through a very difficult time. Always answered my questions no matter what they were. And gave me an easy list of paperwork he needed and had the paperwork I needed to fill out ready to go. I would recommend Mr. Stearman to anyone.

Indu and Bianca (paralegal) were amazing, attentive, and professional. Going through child custody can be hard but they made it easier and I was very confident going into the courtroom. My questions were always answered In a timely manner. I highly recommend

Really helpful with all questions. The process took a little longer than expected but Indu and her staff were very knowledgeable about the paperwork and the process for my case. Even though they did a lot extra work with phone calls and emails, their pricing was very reasonable. I also worked with Indu and her staff remotely (never met her in person since I live in the Bay) but her and her staff still took care of me and got everything taken care of. Highly recommend.

Indu handled my daughter's divorce from her philandering attorney husband. She was excellent. Patient, knowledgeable, compassionate with a high degree of integrity and always accessible; 5 stars.

Indu’s law office helped me with. Dismissal of a faulsly accused domestic charge. And there after. They got me full physical, and legal custody of my 2 boys. A plus service, law practice and professionalism. Highly recommend there services.

Ms. Indu is not only an excellent lawyer, but also goes above and beyond for what is needed to help her clients, she always makes sure that the interest of the client is in the forefront. Not only did she help me get the best arrangement in my case, she also guided me through other legal matters by recommending the best possible help. Even when she was on vacation, she communicated personally with me and was able to advise me on my matter and made sure her staff was aware of and communicated everything with me. Ms. Srivastav's mindset resonates down to her staff who works with her. Her paralegal/legal Secretary, Sonia Lepe is easy to work with and keeps you informed every step of the way. On one occasion, because I could not make it to their office till 5pm due to work, Sonia stayed behind while missing an important personal appointment to get my rebuttal in to the opposing counsel without any hesitation. I cannot thank them enough for all the help and personal effort they have put in towards my case. If anyone ever needs family law services I would highly recommend the Law Offices of Indu Srivastav.

Money hungry lawyers! Start you of by saying they can do this or that for your case and only need 5k to start BUT then every month after they ask you for 3k to be on the 4K retainer so since I was already 5k in I continued this until I was down over 15k and NOTHING was done! And if you don’t have the money they dgaf they simply say sorry we’re going to have to step down since you aren’t able to make payments... please be careful here don’t let them play you like they did me.

Mark and Kelly are professional and take the time with each client that is needed. Both are emphatic listeners but really know the law to protect the best interest of their clients. They are a power couple that work together as a great team. When I first met them both I felt immediately comfortable as they shared their diverse backgrounds in their journey to become both lawyers to protect and support individuals in need. I highly recommend anyone that is contemplating divorce or wanted to discuss adoption or ways to protect the family, to pick up the phone and call. It is always better to be proactive and educated than reactive.

Kelly and Mark Irwin are personable, very articulate in divorce and family law. One thing I love about them is Mark is an ex law enforcement officer. To all women who are in a domestic violence relationship, get Mark to be your divorce attorney. You will always feel safe! Kelly is such a caring attorney, she truly cares about each and every case. Talk to them please.

Great service from a firm that handles matters professionally and with great care!

Irwin and Irwin is a highly professional, ethical, knowledgeable, and compassionate law firm. When I first walked through the door, I was greeted by caring and professional staff. I knew I was not happy in my marriage and I needed to dissolve this relationship. Mark and Kelly guided me and answered all my questions. The excellent service of Mark and Kelly have helped me to gain my life back. I am involved in a very complicated divorce which has encompassed every aspect of family law from domestic violence to minor's counsel. Mark and Kelly have guided me every step of the way. Kelly does an excellent job of aggressively litigating and preparing for court hearings. She is very organized and thorough and has excellent communication and negotiation skills. She has done a superb job of fighting for my needs and the needs of my children. I have been very pleased with the support and help that I have been given during this process. I have been very fortunate that Mark and Kelly asked for and were granted a no contact domestic violence order. They were looking out for my safety and the best interest of myself and my children. This has been a blessing as it has brought peace into our home and provides us with an opportunity to heal from all the abuse that we have been through. Peace is priceless and I am thankful every day for this gift that we have been given. The staff at Irwin and Irwin and the attorneys complement each other and are a cohesive team. The firm is very efficient and ethical. They do an excellent job of communicating and making sure that I have and understand all the court orders. I have learned from other offices, who needed court orders or other information, that Irwin and Irwin is easy to work with. Although my divorce is not finalized, I am very appreciative of the help and support that I continue to receive from the law firm of Irwin and Irwin. They are a fabulous team and I would highly recommend them.

WARNING: simple divorce cost 38,000 dollars. Never went to court once. I was told I was family and would never hurt me. Well he did. My sister just passed away he did her final papers. My brother in law recommended him to me. I hired him for a certain amount of money but he decided to hand my case to another lawyer. Not telling me that she was going to charge me over 300.00 dollars an hour. There was many mistakes made many. I found out I was divorced from my kids. No call from my lawyer just and email that he charged me for but the email was way after the divorce was final. I have met with 4 lawyers who are sad that these kind of lawyers give them a bad name. Office staff will tell u he will be in the office today, a week later he will call u and say I was on vacation. Happens 6 times. Also he had 5 different people working on a divorce which means you pay all 5. Very unorganized overpriced lawyer. I would not recommend ANYONE to use this company. He didn't get anything for me other than the state law requires. Feeling ripped off taken advantage of. I stopped getting billing statements as soon as soon as he got a 40,000 lean against my home. He always said He would find out why no billing statements but of course never did. He made sure he used it all. Be very careful who u choose for a lawyer even if they say there family. Choose wisely!! Didn't finish my case the 38,000 did NOT cover the QDRO. Separation of retirement. Wanted a 1,000 to do it. Got it done for 300.00 by a respectable paralegal. If you need a lawyer call the BBB they will recommend you someone who will not RIP u off feeling defeated. Please choose wisely!!! Sterns and Sterns took a quarter of my earnings. Only got what the state law says so I could have hired anybody. Just beware!!!!! I also had a budget BUT he decided to stop billing me so he took off with my budget! Also paid to get my ex-husband's paychecks garnished and paid Ryan for it. I paid for it but it never happened. I will continue to tell people please call the BBB they will get you a lawyer and not take your money. Now that I have used Ryan and two other lawyers and a paralegal I know for sure that sterns and sterns over charged me by thoudands. I was told that $38,000 was way too much for what I got. Ryan made an agreement with me over the phone for a certain amount of money and decided to change All on his own. Please think about who you were hiring even if they say they are family look into their business find out not who they are as a person who they are as a businessman. I trusted him and so did my family but he has lost more respect than he will ever know. I just want people to be aware and know what they're getting and just because somebody says their family get it in writing. I tried to talk to Ryan and resolve this. He wouldn't budge he hardly had anything to say because he knew he was wrong. My new lawyer would have charged me at the very most $15,000. So just remember that when you go to look for a lawyer remember what Stearns and Stearns did to me and probably others too. Lawyers aren't rock stars! So years later I see all the charges I did not get sevice for. Beware call the BBB. Don't you think your lawyer would go over the divorce papers with you.? No no nothing he mailed me my divorce papers and never spoke to me about what I was getting. Also he never ever checked in to make sure my name was off the house loan. He really really screwed me over and if I were you I would not use him as a lawyer. Please look it up this lawyer has been disciplined by the licensing authorities. Look it up.

I have been working with Stearns Kim Stearns & Ryan for 6 months now. They have been a pleasure to work with.

Ryan, Loe and staff were wonderful during my very difficult divorce. They were there for me through all the questions and concerns. They definitely helped me reach a resolution and defended my position with compassion. Would recommend them to anyone!!

I can't say enough nice things about the lawyers at Stearns Kim & Stearns who helped me. I knew I couldn't afford a costly divorce, and they handled it beautifully. Ryan Stearns was really helpful in explaining to me how to get our property divided and support established, and even outlined a budget to get it done. He did explain to me that he couldn't guarantee staying on this budget, since litigation can be unpredictable, but I appreciated that he was upfront and honest about that. Fortunately they were able to keep my case on budget! I really liked how straightforward Mr. Stearns’ and his lawyers were, they were all so helpful! Loe Chaelee, one of the associates and who worked closely with me, was an absolute rock star!

The law office of Stearns/Kim/Stearns handles a lot of real estate matters for our office. They are very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. I’ve worked with Ryan Stearns for the past 6 years, he has been a pleasure to work with. All of the team members have been great to work with. Great job Team Stearns, Kim & Stearns!!!
