What recent reviews say

Most clients experience responsive, knowledgeable lawyers who explain legal strategy clearly and deliver strong outcomes. Staff members like Chera, Joshua Lee, Mark, and Shaefer Shepard earn consistent praise for professionalism and genuine care.

One long-standing complaint centers on Erika Angles's filing errors, which prolonged a family law case by years despite billing for reviews. The issue involved withdrawn representation and unaddressed escalations, though this represents a small minority of the 1061 reviews.
