Montgomery Paisano concluded my divorce for me in MAY2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. He was responsive and always looking out for me. He recommended changes to the draft Marriage Settlement Agreement, which we accepted, and the Agreement was accepted without comment by the Family Court. Working like that during a pandemic shows commitment. I made a good choice is working with Montgomery.

PLG was helpful and efficient in helping us make sure our divorce papers and agreement were done right.

They helped me out with a very complicated manner. Very trustworthy, very helpful. Eighty recommended.

I am severing ties with peninsula law group montgomery pisano said it would cost $2,500.00, alj. I have to go to sup., alj, misrepresentation bar, state bar, supr. I would like all the files sent to me bar said to go to fee arbitration, remed, was supposed to yong won kim, hamed akhavein correct evf's, 60 and 40 hours. I have had persons reported to patrol services. I filed a police report, evf's to correct were theft and clothes, your responsibility supposed to be corrected wasn't.

I returned from Afghanistan and faced a contentious divorce. Montgomery Pisano was extremely helpful and effective in handling a difficult divorce. He walked me through the maddening California divorce process and effectively managed my expectations and frustrations with the time involved. I would definitely refer Mr. Pisano to anyone in a similar situation.

Highly recommend. Nancy and her team handled my case professionally, kindly and effectively. Grateful for a straightforward process handled by this firm.

Very trustworthy, easy to communicate with. Professional, well-organized, very responsive to questions and thorough with guidance. Nancy and her staff took an immense load of worry off my shoulders, when I needed my case to be done right. Thank you so much!

Never call me back i leave my name and my number and im still waiting ????

If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy, and passionate attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Nancy Martinez. Nancy was my attorney but she is more like my daughter! When I came to Nancy, I was frustrated and overwhelmed with the local county government that was trying to take a Conservatorship over my finances and person and tell me what to do. I repeatedly told the county to shove off but they kept harassing me. When they did file a case against me, I went to Nancy and told Nancy what was happening and how fearful I was about the county meddling into my private affairs. Even though Conservatorships were not her area of practice, she patiently listened to me, consoled and comforted me, and assured me she will do everything possible for me. During the court hearing she was spectacular and was able to deliver the results I wanted. I cannot thank her enough. I hold her in high regard and most of all with deep admiration and affection. If you need a great, caring attorney, just pick up the phone and call her. Good luck with your case! Chris Alexander

Nancy is one of the most highly skilled attorneys in the Bay Area. She handled my DV case expertly and we got the best outcome possible, better than I expected. I recommend her to anyone.

Do not waste your time and money here. They have high hourly rates. Appear to court late and ask for documents the night before. Very unprepared. Different lawyer from their firm appears at the court so keeps changing. The new attorney appearing barely knows what is going on. Not knowledgeable in the custody subject. The bill has charges incorrect. They charge for every minute and second you speak to them.plus add an assitional 20 extra on top. Make sure you check and track the times you talk and reach out to them as they will over charge you if you do not check. They advise you to do something and at court they do not tell the judge they advised you to do so. Beware. They seem nice at first but until they take your money.. Do not hire their services.

Do not take your divorce to this firm. My family has spent a lot of money for my case. And the bills are padded. Outrageous fees to feed this family and on child custody support cases; they are not aggressive or concerned about the spouse and children that have not had received back support payments . Or if they have shelter and or food. Or if they’re power has been shut off.emails at times are not answered in a timely manner and they bill for every email even if is regarding follow up on the same issue. They bill for each text outrageously. I say hey dead beats dads if you want someone o n your side hire these guys.

Effective firm. Marilyn has over 30 years of experience and is the best attorney you can get for your family law case. She is a family law specialist. Michael Moreno is a trial expert and specializes in Domestic Violence, Custody, and Restraining Orders. Truly the best attorneys you can find in the bay area for family law.

FABULOUS!!!!! I called the Moreno Family Law firm TWO DAYS before my hearing/trial and Michael Moreno took my case without any hesitation. I had a civil harassment restraining order pending against me that occurred in the workplace and I was so scared to go to court since the last time I went I couldn’t even speak to the Judge without shaking. The Opposing Party was a bully and I was frightened that if I had a restraining order granted against me it would ruin my career forever. Michael Moreno asked that I drop off the paperwork ONE DAY before the trial and he showed up prepared, looked sharp and fought for me like I had been his client for years! The judge did not want to dismiss the restraining order against me and Michael had an intellectual and persuasive response to every position the Judge made. Even when the judge disagreed with him he KEPT FIGHTING FOR ME and making new arguments that slowly started to change the Judge’s mind. Michael didn’t give up until he was able to successfully change the judge’s mind and WE WON!!! The judge dismissed the restraining order against me and I was able to walk away from the court house with NOTHING pending against me. I truly believe that the universe was in my favor when I found The Moreno Family Law firm to help me with this civil harassment restraining order (work place harassment). THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I am truly grateful and I would recommend EVERYONE to this firm. Michael Moreno is a TRIAL EXPERT and the staff was helpful and kind. They even called after the hearing to make sure I was happy with the representation I received. INCREDIBLE FIRM. (This was all during COVID shelter in place and they were available to me 24/7).

People are great..100%

I used Madigan & Lewis for a postnuptial agreement and Tori (Victoria) was my Primary lawyer. Everyone that I interacted with was super nice, professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Tori is very good at what she does. She thoroughly answered all of my questions and patiently explained everything. My husband’s attorney even said that the postnup was the best-written that she has ever seen. I had a great experience and would highly recommend Madigan & Lewis.

I switched attorneys mid-divorce to work with Victoria Lewis at Madigan Lewis, and I'm so glad I did. Tori is easy to work with, supportive, and very thorough in her legal approach to what was a complicated and contentious case. She was strategic, researched & presented legal issues thoroughly, and was 110% in my corner. I wanted someone to stand up & be tough during the process, and she was ready & capable to be that person. She explained the legal issues well, and helped me make decisions along the way. Mine was not a simple or cheap case, but I wanted good representation and I got it. I definitely recommend Tori.

I had the pleasure of working with Victoria Lewis as my consulting attorney (on child custody issues) during my divorce. And I can honestly say that I was very impressed with her expertise in all aspects of a divorce situation (child custody, financial, etc). My divorce was very complex and I truly believe that it was all of Victoria's professional advice, support and guidance (especially, in some highly charged emotional situations) that made a world of difference in the final outcome. Victoria has my absolute trust and I will "hands down" recommend her to anyone who needs help when going through a divorce.

Victoria Lewis is an exceptional family practice attorney who was my legal counsel as I went through the process of divorce through mediation. She is compassionate, clearly explains the legal process, is conscientious in working through every detail to arrive at a fair settlement, and responds readily to all emails/calls. At mediation meetings, she was poised,articulate, and commanding of the situation. Victoria was also adept in moving the process forward when the other attorneys involved were not responding in a timely manner. Additionally, she provided excellent referrals for estate planning services, tax and financial advising. I highly recommend working with the firm of Madigan and Lewis.

I had no idea where to go for a divorce attorney and feel so lucky to have come across Kim Madigan. She is very professional and knowledgeable and effectively negotiated on my behalf on complex issues in my divorce in the areas of custody, visitation, and spousal/child support. Doesn't sound too complex at first glance, but we were dealing with everything from the ex insisting I have zero custody and even trying to leave the state with our son, to trying to involve our son in the conflicts which was not good. All issues were resolved without having to go to court. I felt like everything Kim was doing for me she has already done though, and she was clearly a step ahead of the opposing attorneys. Kim also set clear expectations with me up front and helped me understand the process before we embarked on it, and helped structure a custody proposal in a way that works with my busy work/travel schedule. Long story short my son is happy with the outcome and I spend even more time with him nowadays, compared to the time before I moved out, and that is the most important thing. Also Kim is so pleasant, compassionate, and easy to talk with and that helped greatly during this tough time. What also helped was how easy it was to work with this firm, they get things in writing and processed extremely quickly and the operation is modern and paperless. They have a great paralegal Annette and she helped a lot too. Highly recommend this firm if the need arises.

Attorney Zhou was very professional and was able to help me find the point of the problem. I won a great victory in the first court hearing and asked the other lawyer to withdraw on his own. I am very happy to see the victory.

These guys are really great. They promptly respond to your inquiry in a timely manner with professionalism. Highly recommend them if you ever need any legal services.

I highly recommend lawyer Zhou. She is very experienced in family lawyer. In the case of mixed marriages between China and the United States, she has a great understanding of the laws of China and the United States and gives professional opinions.

I have to Thank Joanne and her professional team. They are very efficient, experienced and responsible attorneys. They are very patient to listen and answer your concerns and questions, give you very professional advice and respect all your decisions. I'm so glad and lucky to have her as attorney.

Today is 2020’s Thanksgiving Day and I have chosen to write this commentary today in the hope that those in need can see it. I think I am really lucky to find Joanne Zhou as my lawyer. Because of my ex-husband's financial control, I had no money when I found her, and she decided to take over the case without receiving any payment from me. And she did everything she could to help me get whatever was best for me. She also constantly encouraged me to be brave and strong, and gave me the confidence to believe I can have a good life. With her help, I went through the most desperate days. I'm not done with my case yet, but I feel like I've been reborn in the process, and I couldn't have done it without her, without the cooperation of the team of The Zhou law Group. Now I'm with my two kids safety and peaceful. Thank you!Happy Thanksgiving!

I have been using Hoover Krepelka for years. Jim Hoover and Travis Krepelka handle custody, divorce and all types of Family Law issues. I would not hesitate to use them again or refer them to friends and family. My attorney is Jim Hoover (a bulldog in the courtroom) but there are other attorney's in the office that are really good too so you are sure to find someone that fits your needs and personality style. If you need a family law attorney you want the right team on your side and in my book Hoover Krepelka is that team.

Divorce and marriage are life changing events and it would be foolish not to get the best counsel available. Hoover Krepelka provided free counsel that helped friends of mine to do the right thing when they got married; and now both are fully aware of the contract they entered in together. My neighbor turned to Hoover Krepelka when she realized she is not getting what she and her children deserved. She told me that finally! somebody is actually listing to her and fighting for her and her children's rights. February 2020, Travis Krepelka is one of the finest lawyer with ethics and principles. I recommend him to anybody, when they get married especially as it is only to the couples advantage when they are on the same page.

I worked with Jim Hoover and his team for over 2 years. At first I felt very well represented. I ended up settling with my ex of an 18 yr marriage for 1/2 of what he made in one year. The Hoover team billed me 1/4 of that amount. My Jr attorney suddenly left the firm with no parting words, I received a letter. I was assigned a new attorney and was billed even more. I tried to stop the litigation because of the fees, but Hoover team would not respond and kept litigation going. When I tried to hire a new attorney, I was warned by many in the field that Hoover's team has this reputation.

Jim Hoover and Christine Pham were excellent they helped me with my response for custody and I was able to be heard in my case and got my custody back with my kids just in time for the holidays . I highly recommend them and they are very professional and detailed.

I hired Jim to be my divorce attorney and am so glad I did. He was extremely professional, patient, and helpful. He is a kind person with a good moral compass and that can be hard to find in a lawyer. Jim and really the whole staff were always available if I had questions or needed assistance. I felt comfortable and safe there in a time during much discord in my life. I would definitely recommend them should you find yourself in need of a great attorney!

My attorney is Jim Hoover (a bulldog in the courtroom) but there are other attorney's in the office that are really good too so you are sure to find someone that fits your needs and personality style. If you need a family law attorney you want the right team on your side and in my book Hoover Krepelka is that team.

    Divorce and marriage are life changing events and it would be foolish not to get the best counsel available. Hoover Krepelka provided free counsel that helped friends of mine to do the right thing when they got married; and now both are fully aware of the contract they entered in together. My neighbor turned to Hoover Krepelka when she realized she is not getting what she and her children deserved. She told me that finally! somebody is actually listing to her and fighting for her and her children's rights. February 2020, Travis Krepelka is one of the finest lawyer with ethics and principles. I recommend him to anybody, when they get married especially as it is only to the couples advantage when they are on the same page.

    I worked with Jim Hoover and his team for over 2 years. At first I felt very well represented. I ended up settling with my ex of an 18 yr marriage for 1/2 of what he made in one year. The Hoover team billed me 1/4 of that amount. My Jr attorney suddenly left the firm with no parting words, I received a letter. I was assigned a new attorney and was billed even more. I tried to stop the litigation because of the fees, but Hoover team would not respond and kept litigation going. When I tried to hire a new attorney, I was warned by many in the field that Hoover's team has this reputation.

    I hired Jim to be my divorce attorney and am so glad I did. He was extremely professional, patient, and helpful. He is a kind person with a good moral compass and that can be hard to find in a lawyer. Jim and really the whole staff were always available if I had questions or needed assistance. I felt comfortable and safe there in a time during much discord in my life. I would definitely recommend them should you find yourself in need of a great attorney!

Unfortunately, Nicole scrambled at the last minute to prepare for my big day. I showed up to court, and she failed to submit my statement on time for the judge to go over our case. Even OC from a different county submitted the week before. Then she told me after the botched court date all her revelations, which was not helpful at all after the fact. After an embarrassing train wreck of a court date, I switched to a new lawyer who was able to settle my case swiftly, empathetically, professionally - without having to go back to court. Literally, achieved nothing with Nicole except for negatively impacting my case. It's a shame that I threw away so much money that could have gone towards my kid when we could have settled out of court.

Nicole Aeschleman and her office were cautious and swift with all of our legal issues. She handled everything with ethics and were very honest. I respect that in a law firm. Our mediation settlement was settled with determination to get what was best for us and there was no backing down! I sincerely thank you Nicole!

My experience with Aeschleman Law was priceless: when I met Nicole, I knew I found someone I could trust. Very professional and I knew they would care about me as a client. I cannot say enough good things about this firm. I looked forward to our meetings and the firm would always keep me updated on my case. If you have legal questions, ask Nicole.

This staff is amazing!! They were very professional, courteous, caring and friendly! I would tell everyone who needs a lawyer to contact them. I consider them friends.

This was the second time I have used Aeschleman Law and they have a wonderful staff who really show compassion and understand you and your situation. They have taken great care of me during my lawsuit. Truly outstanding.

Mr. Louie did an exceptional job representing me during my divorce. He has a level-headed demeanor and a great ability to break down complex matters into simple, comprehensive terms. Mr. Louie will be a true advocate of your interests at heart and someone you can count on for sound advice. The prompt and dedicated nature of his work made all the difference. I highly recommend you reach out to him.

I have interviewed 5+ lawyers in San Jose before coming across Mr. Louie. All other lawyers were focused on how to sell me their business instead of giving the reality perspective of the case. For example, other lawyers were telling me how I will be winning the case, versus, where Mr. Louie was being honest of the situation and variables that will be difficult for the case, providing the strategies how to overcome them. I cannot think of better outcome than what he could have done for me. If you need his services, I highly recommend at least interviewing Mr. Louie.

Calvin and his team did a phenomenal job helping me dispute a problematic roommate. Thorough and timely, they really are experts in the field. Certainly recommend.

Intense attorney!! Brutally honest will not take a case unless he believes he can win.! Calvin Louie has helped me several times in the past 30 years, never loosing any of my cases. He want an intense lawyer who's honest and can win your case go to Louie and kitsuse.

Christine Louie and Calvin represented me during a child custody and property case. Although that process is never fun Christine and Calvin were a pleasure to work with; they were always empathetic and understanding of my situation, and I always felt that they had my best interest in mind. They were punctual and always kept me up to date on the status of my case. I am pleased with not only their service but also with the outcome of my case. As much as I appreciate their services I hope to never have to use them again (nothing personal), but if for whatever reason I did, I would go back to Christine and Calvin. Thank you both for all your help!

We were searching for an Attorney for a Step Parent Adoption case. After interviewing several offices over the course of about 2 weeks we came across Chris. After seeing his reviews we reached out to Chris and it was the best choice we could have made. From the first conversation we knew immediately that we would be in good hands. Unlike other lawyers, Chris was very straightforward and honest from the beginning. He was straight to the point and focused on the facts. He was always reassuring and patient to answer all questions and concerns. Most important of all he was confident and he cared which for us is everything. Chris’ confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process allowed us to remain focused. Best way to communicate I found was via email which worked out for us beautifully. Thank you Chris for everything, from the bottom of the Perez Family’s hearts thank you! We are eternally greatful!

This is the best lawyer. Attorney dull has great integrity, respect and understanding for his clients. Knowledgeable and is really realistic but very hopeful. Alot of jerk lawyers out there but this one is not. An amazing office dynamic and is responsive and smart.

This guy had me running around fighting for my kids while he was wasting my time delaying my time every paper I had to get all the leg work nothing got turned in he promised so much and did nothing I ended up fighting my case and winning by my self while he asked for more court dates a true joke!!!

Very helpful

This Attorney is reliable and honest. I refer to take a visit and find out for your self. This attorney is an honorable and responsible person. I recommend it. With a visit you will see it.

If you have to go through divorce, I strongly advise hiring The Law Offices of Steven Dinneen. The start of a divorce process is very intimidating. I had met with another law firm prior and did not get the same detailed information that would allow me to make the best decisions for my situation. I felt they could not represent me quite like Steven and Kevin could. Hiring Steven and Kevin was a great decision as they helped guide me through this painful process. Everything from correctly filing all the forms with the court, serving papers to my ex-wife and ensuring that my interests were protected under the law. Steven and Kevin told me all of my options and thoroughly explained the benefits and drawbacks of each. I am impressed with the office as it is very clean, organized and has professional knowledgeable staff. I found the best quality law office in San Jose and I plan to stick with them for all my family law matters until my child is 18 years old. I am very grateful of their services. If you have to go through divorce, I strongly advise hiring this firm.

Coming from a terrible attorney who did absolutely nothing for me to Steven was life-changing. I had a very dramatic and high conflicted custody case and would not have been able to get through it all without Steven and Faune. From the start, they were very honest about the process and time. Steven and Faune are straightforward, responsive, and dedicated to resolving any issues at hand. After seven years, my case is still handled with urgency and high importance when situations arise. This firm, all the way to the assistants, are very passionate and knowledgeable in what they do.

I love lunch with my daughter

Steven did a great job guiding me through a difficult experience previously unknown to me. He put together an effective strategy based on sound and solid reason and was successful against much more seasoned attorneys. Thank you Steven for your effort and ability. I am pleased to have had you representing me. Jeffrey R

Have been in a family law dispute over child custody for 5 years now. My attorney was Bobby Lau , I looked for a second attorney to help as my case full of problems and needed help to resolve asap. I hired Steve and the very first time I called him for assistance they ignored me for 3 weeks and then I went in got my money back and fired this fool. Useless attorney point blank!
