From day one, they've treated me like family--always kind, supportive, and welcoming. Denise is funny, straight to the point, and most importantly, honest.

Their dedication and compassion make a stressful process so much easier. I know many lawyers who recommend Denise, and after my experience, I completely understand why. Highly recommend them both

She was incredibly helpful in assisting with document preparation for my divorce and shared custody of our child. She helped make the whole process go VERY smoothly and told me exactly what to expect along the way. The day I filed my paperwork was so hard and emotionally exhausting. I was in tears as the court asked questions and looked through my papers but in the end they had EVERYTHING they needed for me to file and she followed up to let me know how to keep the process rolling. D provides VIP service and has been doing this so long that she knows exactly what judges & courts need and delivers a high quality product in exchange for paperwork close to what an attorney would provide at a fraction of the cost. I'd recommend her to anyone and everyone. You're in good hands with her!!

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.

At the end of my long battles in court, I finally got the results I wanted, I get to see my two girls, no restraining orders, and have a fair 50/50 share custody with my kids. My daughters call her, their super hero. They always tell me that, if anything happens to us, we can always call Maya! This may sound a little cheesy, but coming from my girls, this means TRUST. We know we can always count on Maya. Her experience and her care for her clients is exceptional! She response fast and is always clear with her explanations. Her quality of work is clean and precise. We thank Maya for keeping our family together! I highly recommend to hire Maya! You will NOT regret it!

From the owner: Maya Grey is a passionate family law attorney who specializes in helping individuals navigate some…read moreof the most difficult and painful experiences of their lives. She handles all issues related to divorce, legal separation, and parentage actions, including matters related to child custody, child support, spousal support, and complex property division. She also helps clients wanting assistance with pre-marital and post-marital agreements. Additionally, Maya serves as a consulting attorney for clients in mediation and those seeking a second opinion. Maya is a fierce advocate for her clients, and will stand up for their best interests in court and in negotiations with the other side. However, she believes that the best and most cost-efficient outcome is when a negotiated settlement can be reached outside of court. Therefore, she works hard to avoid litigation unless it is necessary. Maya tells her clients what they need to hear, and not necessarily what they want to hear, in order to help them achieve the best results for their case. Prior to founding Grey & Associates Family Law, Maya practiced for over 7 years at the highly respected firm Blum, Gibbs, Davies & Owen, LLP. Maya taught second and third grade for 5 years prior to attending law school. She received both her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters in Education from UCLA.

This completely unprofessional dude came highly recommended from an attorney I was already working with. So I felt comfortable calling them. As a licensed professional, this hearing and criminal charge was a big deal and could have had huge impacts on my life and career. I spoke to him on a Monday or a Tuesday and I had a hearing scheduled for the following Monday. He wanted the entire fee upfront. I simply didn't have all of it. I told him I could give him a substantial down payment and could pay him the entire fee within a couple weeks. He explained how he had such respect for my profession as he had worked in my field in the past. He assured me he was with me and was going to help me. He told me he would call my by the end of the week with a payment arrangement he would accept. So I relaxed. I didn't call anyone else. By Friday I hadn't heard from him. I was very anxious but I just trusted he would keep his word. After all, he was a recommendation from another attorney with whom I liked and had experience with. On Saturday, I tried to call his office because I had received no communication from his office whatsoever. No calls. No emails. Nothing. So I was able to find another attorney on a weekend who took my case and she was amazing. This guy began calling me Monday morning at the same time the hearing was taking place. He did not do what he said. He lied to me. He ignored my situation. His communication is so unprofessional that it is non-existent. If you value yourself, your case, your money, your time, and your respect, run as fast as you can away from this law firm!!

From my very first consultation with Indy Colbath Schmitt at Bay Area Family Law Center, I felt more at ease and confident about moving forward. Indy was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and compassionate.

What had felt overwhelming suddenly felt much more manageable. Her paralegal, Jerennina Piguing, was also wonderful--responsive, helpful, and supportive. Divorce is an emotional and stressful experience, but having professionals who genuinely listen and help you navigate the process can bring tremendous peace of mind.
