    I had a great experience with the Next Legal team putting together a prenuptial agreement. I was…read morechoosing between them and two other firms local to the South Bay Area and they showed up with warmth, a clear start to finish plan, and very reasonable pricing. Once the agreement was drafted, there was a California specific addendum needed on the documents for us to get them notarized. The team quickly added it and corrected the document within the hour. I was able to get a comprehensive prenuptial agreement not only drafted and reviewed, but finalized and notarized within a reasonable amount of time. The attorneys, law clerks, and administrative managers were so kind every step of the way. Thank you all!

    I'm not sure how they are getting 5 star ratings, but it definitely fooled me when I hired them…read moreback in May of last year. Let me be clear, the negative reviews seem much more realistic as I experienced identical stuff with them. Long story short, they did nothing for me after I took them as representation and made payment. When I mean nothing, I mean literally anything outside of filing normal paperwork, they simply didn't do. Want a suggestion? Get ready to pay them thousands for a quick meeting. Writing an email to them? Better hope they don't need to go to the bathroom in between because you will pay for that time. Another reviewer states it perfectly : "there team was working on my case, which means everyone needed to be aware of the status, and I was paying each of them". This times a million is so accurate!! Every month I would get a new bill with charges I couldn't make sense of, and half of those charges were one team member discussing with another about my case... like seriously?? In the end, I think I payed close to $15k for the 8 months I had them!! 15k!! And mind you, we never went to court or anything. It was literally just email replies and filing paperwork. I told them from the beginning I was trying to be conservative with funds and wanted to end this asap, and they asked for a $4k retainer acting like that would be all I need. They weren't upfront about future costs or options I could make. How in world did I have to replenish another $11k in addition is beyond me. Straight up scammed by thieves. **edit : one thing I wanted to clarify, their rates look somewhat reasonable, well at least for Palo Alto region standards.. hence why I was suckered. But it's not the rate that's the issue per se, rather, it's how they charge you each month based off these rates (see above note on how they charge discussions between team members). My previous lawyer (worst move ever leaving them for this one) charged me 1/4th of what they did, and we actually went to court. This firm will make you suffer with endless costs and charge you thousands each month when there is NO movement in your case.

Time went by and my divorce never got finalized, my ex husband is scamming me, using my soc sec number. I call Adam and all the dude lawyer did was insult me, telling me, (oh it's only a few thousand let it go) when all i really needed was help with the rest of my divorce. Im sorry but this dude is an @$$hole and then he tells me, oh it's going to be difficult to get a divorce now. Mind you im just a woman (human being) try ing to get help for myself to divorce my husband and all this jerk did was insult me and say bye. What kind of person acts like that? He couldn't even remember me. I dont care how many people think he's so great, as far as im concerned he in asshole in my eyes. And I dont care if he like my saying so or not. Screw him, never will I ever recommend this man for anything. He's a prick lawyer who thinks his $#!t doesnt stink. Pompous creep

Besides being a deep well of knowledge of the family & civil court system here in San Francisco, I was especially impressed with his quick response times and willingness to work during off hours if something unexpected came up. One should expect legal services to be costly, but the value here is very competitive with other options. Needless to say, I would reach out to Adam Gurley Law Offices again if any more legal issues come up!

Very thorough, excellent at explaining the "whys" of what we were doing together, and fun to work with - even working through thorny topics!

I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

James was an ultimate professional, he even found an error in the legal description of our latest deed recorded in 2003 by comparing it with our initial purchase deed from 1998 and our neighbor's deeds. He divided the whole process into different stages and made a complicated process relatively easy. At first, he asked a lot of questions to collect personal data and gauge what exactly we need for our plan. Then he gave us some specific homework and encouraged us to ask more questions. At the final stage, he gave us a big beautiful binder of estate plans with a cover letter about some further instructions to avoid any problems in the future. Over all, he was a delight to work with and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

A…read moretrue Oracle, gentleman and human being, who will push aside his personal life to make sure your urgent family situation (missing children!) is addressed -- even on Christmas Day. My wife physically assaulted me while on a court-ordered a EPO and then abducted my children the week before Christmas for a month. Bob spent four hours during Christmas Day with me laying out everything I would need to know and he was later proved to be 100% accurate on every single word that came out of his mouth. Bob is truly a nice guy. I don't think he'll ever retire because he loves what he does and he provides such a strong value to the local families who urgently need his expertise navigating the challenging family court situation often for the first time. I tried to find an attorney several days before Christmas and the entire industry was out of service until the second week of January. I believe my wife took my children that week specifically to make it very challenging for me, but Bob stepped up and saved the day in a huge way. I could ramble on for hours about how Bob and Carolyn are consummate professionals, and how they changed my perspective on family lawyers. Bob and Carolyn secured 50% parental access for me within three weeks. The opposing firm told my wife to run away with our kids after removing them from the home and was using every tactic in the book, but Bob played hardball in the most professional way during the most important time in my entire life. He stepped up like an athlete during the Olympics and I forever will love Bob.

It took a while but thanks to Carolyn's persistence we were finally able to get the matter resolved. Without her efforts I would never have been joined to my ex-wife's pension because the divorce was 28 years ago and the original court's order was not carried out due to pre-digital record keeping snafus. I'm also very grateful to Bob for helping me navigate through a very challenging time in my marriage. He is extraordinarily responsive and knowledgeable and I recommend him and Carolyn to anyone contemplating a divorce or other family law matter.
