    Stay away. Each appointment is 1-2 months out for mediation and she's biased towards woman.

    Treacherous attorney. Helped the other side on several occasions then setup a settlement conference…read moreand wasn't there to represent me, instead pressuring me to sign away my custody on the spot. Has sent me sensitive paperwork from previous clients with their names intact. Allowed my kid to be SA'd at her mother's home, wouldn't take it to court. Treacherous.

    Ruined my life. I was once a young 13 year old girl who was being abused, my mother was a drug…read moreaddict my entire life, she didn't listen to me, she twisted my words, she did why SHE FELT was best instead of what was actually best. By 16 my mother was homeless, and that meant so was I, after a year on the street I became pregnant, now with no education, no stability, a baby on the way & no relationship with my father because of the long court process and the manipulation of the courts by my mother and Ms Vance herself. I was left alone and abandoned by the person who was framed "FIT" . I'm not 28 and I haven seen my mother in years , i've worked extremely hard to repair the damages in mine and my father's relationship, I'm a great mother, but a struggle with my own traumas, and I do feel like my trauma's were at the end of the court system and Miss Vance herself, I know you probably hear a lot from parents who feel like they were wrong by attorneys, but do you ever hear from the kids who were affected 15 years later and I'm still struggling, I still have nightmares, I've been through things that could've been avoided. Had my attorney been more involved and maybe listened more to what I had to say instead of what my mother had to say. I do not feel like the intentions behind what happened to me were good. I feel like they were done in bad faith. I don't believe that if I had of been placed with my dad that my life would be the way it is today. I feel like I was robbed of a childhood by the court system and by the attorney who is appointed to me, the people who are supposed to protect me and make sure I was OK when my mother did not.!!! miss Vance hope you know you have affected me as a child, and it has followed me into my adulthood in ways that cannot be fixed, I still think about you to this day and I will never forget your name. And that is not a good thing.

    Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

    I normally never write reviews, but my experience with Ms. Keya Brown as my daughter Kelsey's child…read morecounsel compels me to speak up so other parents are aware. From my personal experience, I feel that Ms. Brown handled my daughter's case with a lack of care, urgency, and righteousness. There were serious concerns brought to her attention during my supervised visits with my daughter including an incident where my daughter was dropped off to me after allegedly consuming a weed edible. As a father, this was alarming, heartbreaking, and something I believed required immediate action and strong advocacy. Despite sharing these concerns, I felt that Ms. Brown did not take appropriate steps to address the situation or ensure my daughter's safety was fully prioritized. In my view, her overall handling of the case in the North Butte County courthouse left me feeling unsupported and unheard as a parent who simply wants the best for his child. Because of my experience, I cannot recommend her services. I strongly encourage other parents to be cautious and to thoroughly evaluate any counsel representing their children. I am also in the process of seeking guidance and reviewing options with the State Bar regarding how my daughter's case was managed, as I believe every child deserves representation that is diligent, responsive, and committed to their well-being. This review is not written out of anger, but out of truth and responsibility as a father. I put God first in everything I do, and I believe accountability, integrity, and righteousness must guide every professional who works on behalf of a child. God bless. -- Cristian F.

I could tell she was knowledgeable & enthusiastic about the law. If you have ever hired an attorney before you know it's important to feel your attorney is confident, experienced, & approachable. During my conversation with Mz. Brown I came to the decision that she is someone who will be reliable, forthcoming with information, & extremely professional throughout my case. If you are looking for a family law attorney, my personal recommendation is to call Keya Brown & speak with her. Likely you will get the sense that she is someone well positioned to represent your best interests.

What was supposed to be a "neutral" mediation process turned into a free for all for my ex wife with his endorsement. I have subsequently seen 2 lawyers to address parts of the mediation settlement and both have said this was one of the most lob sided mediation outcomes they have ever seen. Do yourself a favor and avoid his mediation services and get a good lawyer.

    Mr. Bury was court appointed to represent my son, as his father and I have been in and out of court…read morefor years. At first I was nervous that a lawyer was going to represent my son, as I felt I had failed as a parent and would have to try to parent not only with one disagreeable authority (the father), but potentially two, loosing control of parenting and of my ability to advocate for our son's best interest. However, Mr. Bury was kind, thoughtful, fair, and compassionate of our son's true needs and took the time to meet with our son and thoroughly consider all factors. I believe his recommendations for our son and for each of us as parents were accurate and fair, and I believe both of us as parents were led to evaluate our parenting and to improve. We were given suggested tools, and our son was given a voice. Mr. Bury was not demanding, condescending, or reactionary. He was fair, thoughtful, respectful, and knowledgeable. A word about the negative reviews- take them with a grain of salt. Not all people are willing to take responsibility for their part of negative outcomes, and those stuck in the court system are usually there for a reason (the father and I are both responsible for our repeated court stints). It is not the responsibility of a mediator to make decisions or change behavior, all they can do is guide based on their assessments and their knowledge of the law. It is the responsibility of the parents to accurately communicate and be open to perspectives and growth.
