When I first got divorced I didn't do the research on divorce attorneys that I should have and I paid the price in court. Two years later I needed to go back to court and this time I did the work to find out what office would be the best to help me. Mr. Bruder and especially his paralegals went above and beyond for me and my children. I could not be happier with the outcome and would recommend their office to anyone.

Mr. Bruder and his staff have helped me every step of the way. For over 5 years I was involved in a very ugly divorce. It involved a lot of pieces. Threw the whole process they never misled me or forgot to mention key factors. It was my story but they knew it just as well as I did. Mr. Bruder always is poignant and to the point in court. The judges respect him and listen. He and his staff take the extra time to make sure I understood the process and the next steps. I would highly recommend Mr. Bruder and his staff.

Vanessa was great, and the entire office was always willing to work with me. Mr Bruder went out of his way to explain what my rights were. Vanessa went out of her way to make me fell like I was a good person, even though the other partner in the matter made it seem like I wasn't. Thank you

Attorney Dale Bruder represented me in a challenging family law case. He and Irene were incredibly well prepared every step of the way. They were attentive, and always available to me throughout the process. He is honest, ethical, and assertive. I am thankful for his service and highly recommend.

Attorney Dale Bruder represented me for for a little over year. Mr. Bruder and staff did an amazing job representing me through the court case. The staff is friendly and I was guided through the whole process. I felt relief that I didn’t have to go through the case by my self. I am extremely satisfied with the services I received as a client I would recommend the Law Office of Dale Bruder to any one needing legal services.

I hired Maria, shes a paralegal there at the office, and she was very patient with me and handled everything quickly. She was very sweet to my daughter and I. I'd highly recommend going to her or any of the lawyers there at the office. Very warm environment, I'll definitely be back with any future needs.

I hired Ms. Mattos after consulting with several other attorneys. I am in a same sex marriage which Ms. Mattos had never handled. She assured me she could handle it however. Not only did she handle my case, I came out the winner on almost every issue. She is a no nonsense attorney who had to calm me down several times and it paid off. Her demeanor in court is calm and cool. While I witnessed other attorneys getting agitated, Ms. Mattos always stayed calm and it always paid off. I would hire her again for any matter. Also, her office staff is really friendly and informative, often answering your questions at a lower rate to save you money. Thank you Ms. Mattos and Belin for a job well done!

If you're looking for someone who knows all the in's and out's with your divorce Ms. Mattos and her team meets that expectation. I'm really happy you help me through it all and very very pleased with your hard work. I will pass you guys on to anyone needing a noble lawyer.

A close family friend gave me a helpful recommendation for this firm. Based on that, I expected competent representation. I received that, and more.

She is in it for the money not for her clients at the beginning she plays you like your case is easy and you will most likely not even use the total retainer . Lie dont fall for it. Then she even helped the x referring a attorney for her. Trust me dont hire her.

Finding a competent child custody attorney can be a daunting task. With that in mind, I began my search for someone who was worthy of listening to my concerns, preparing the necessary paperwork in a timely manner, and then going to court and battle for custody of my children. Curtis has delivered the goods. Curtis and I have had numerous phone and in person conversations. Curtis will focus on the important items to discuss that are relevant to my case. Curtis has turned in all paperwork and documents when needed and has never missed a deadline. In the courtroom, Curtis is "solid" and focused. Curtis maintains a high level of professionalism, has good rapport with the judge, and asks the appropriate questions in a manner that is not demeaning or condescending. Although I have another court date ahead, and not by Curtis' choice (Curtis has tried to resolve the matter numerous times), I have no hesitation to returning to court having Curtis represent me and my children.

Do not be tricked with these bought 5 start reviews, like I was. I had to seek my own legal council and fire him for his negligence. His staff lost paper work! which resulted in a horrible mediation outcome! He attempted to send legal agreements via email without my authorization. Once confronted, his words were "it was an accident!" His defensive strategy was very feeble! The lies of a sleazy car salesmen were sickeningly present! It now makes sense because I found out he used to be a door to door salesmen. His charisma of assertion, charm, and trustworthiness is strong, but deceptive! He got me 27% custody, tried to side with the other lawyer regarding division of assets and debts. He also offered half equity of my truck to my ex wife! Bottom line is, you better have a great deal of patience when dealing with a empty man of this kind! BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE!!!!!

Willing to take time and listen to you. He’s compassionate and will work hard for you. His staff is extremely organized and everyone in the office has great communication. When it come to court time he is prepared organized and ready to fight.

My now husband used him for a divorce case. Should’ve know to walk away when he didn’t even shake our hands at initial meeting. Only hired him because of these reviews. I too am shocked at them. He lagged on replying his paralegal or assistant was clueless. I remember one day she didn’t even know we had court thank goodness I called to ask about it. Didn’t do anything he said he would do. Literally dragged out the case a year. Drained all the money we paid. Such a waste. I wouldn’t use this attorney again if he was free or the last one on earth. You’re better off representing yourself.

I was impressed with Mr. Daugherty’s overall demeanor, knowledge and skills for my personal situation. Mr Daugherty demonstrated impeccable organization and detailed information regarding the law. Mr Daugherty is a straightforward, no bones individual. Mr Daugherty explained the law in layman’s terms, so i understood. I felt so comfortable having Mr Daugherty represent me.

He answered the phone himself and took the time to give me a complementary, quick consultation. His honestly about my situation was much appreciated. I only took off a star because I couldn't afford to hire him, so I don't know what the outcome would have been like but he does appear to be very knowledgeable and straight forward. Thank you, Mr. Bartlett!

Couldn't be happier with my experience. Mr. Barlett answered every question I had with patience and expertise. I came in with no clue how to manage my particular situation and he carefully described what my options were. He broke down exactly what I'm looking at in terms I can understand and explained the best plan to move forward. I would absolutely return for any future needs I may have down the line.

Bob Bartlett in my opinion is one of the most professional, knowledgeable and brilliant attorneys in the State of California. A man of great character.

This attorney was exceptional for me , consistent and quite reliable when he didn't have to . Good man !

Bob is one of the most down-to-earth lawyers I've ever worked with. Can't recommend him enough!

After having met up with other attorneys in fresno, I made an appointment with Mr. Wilson and I’m sure that he’s the perfect attorney for my case. He answered all of my questions and his answers were extremely detailed. He went above and beyond providing me with important information about my issue. He was very kind, gentle and friendly. I highly recommend him.

I called 5 minutes before 12 wanting to know if they could assist in a divorce. The woman was not very clear on the phone like she had no idea what i was talking about and then not even a minute into the conversation; she pressed the mute button and acted like she could not hear me. she forced me to disconnect and then when I did, it went straight to voice mail. not professional at all

I had a very informative free consultation with Glenn Wilson and I would highly recommend his services. He's very polite and honest.

Mr. Wilson and his staff were not only very successful for me in court, but extremely understanding and patient with me explaining court details. I also believe that I was given incredible advice for the sake of my children. Staff has been so very helpful with paperwork and questions. Highest recommendation

He did not represent me because of geography but he was very informative and helpful . gave me great advice knowing he couldnt represent me . great person

Great attorney very helpful easy to work with very compassionate very honest

Erik was very helpful, friendly and seemed very well educated on every concern I had. Highly recommend Erik.

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. I highly recommend Erik D Hawkins, Attorney at Law, and am extremely pleased with the work that he has done on my case.

Erik Hawkins was the kindest, most compassionate and laser-focused attorney I have ever worked with. He is incredibly thorough and dedicated to his work. He was very accommodating in making himself available at odd hours and weekends, and performs exceptionally well under pressure. I could not have better things to say about Erik, highly recommended!

Erik has an exhaustive knowledge of Divorce law. I had a unique situation that several other attorneys struggled with. I spoke to Erik, and from the first meeting it was clear that he knew the law, and he could think creatively and strategically in applying it.

Can not recommend highly enough. Zeppy and her team were very caring and professional guiding me through my court case.

Zeppy Attashian and her team are AMAZING. I received nothing but professionalism and the utmost care and compassion for my personal situation. Zeppy and Maggy listened to all of my concerns and made me feel protected and most importantly heard. I would highly recommend this law office to anyone seeking a highly intelligent and professional attorney. 5/5 starts for me.

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.

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

Fantastic attorney...very understanding and kind but a barracuda in the courtroom. Highly recommended.

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."
