From the start, Jennifer was kind, patient, and genuinely caring. My aunt was extremely nervous about the situation, and because English is not her first language, it was incredibly helpful that Jennifer is fluent in both Mandarin and English. Being able to explain everything clearly in Mandarin made a huge difference and immediately put my aunt at ease. Jennifer took the time to really listen, showed compassion for my aunt's situation, and gave thoughtful, honest guidance without rushing or pressuring her in any way. By the end of the call, my aunt felt much calmer and more confident about her next steps, which honestly meant a lot to our family. It's rare to find an attorney who is not only knowledgeable but also generous enough to donate their time and truly care about helping the community. We sincerely appreciate Jennifer's help and would highly recommend Amity Law - especially for Mandarin-speaking clients looking for clear, compassionate legal guidance.

First and foremost, I want to thank God. Without Him nothing is possible. Now, I would like to give a wholeheartedly thank you to Attorney Noreen L. Barcena, Ms. Alma Gabriela Bosch, Ms. Michell Chavez and the entire staff for all their hard work. I became a citizen in less than half a year! Stop searching for an attorney, Ms. Barcena is the one for you. Seriously! I have met several attorneys during my profession and no one is more empathetic to their clients than she is. She will counsel you every step of the way. Ms. Bosch called me to congratulate me and was so happy for me when they received the good news. They truly care for you. God bless them all! read more

It took me over a month to write this review because I wanted to make sure it was fair, thoughtful,…read moreand not written purely from emotion. I have even taken more time because the experience was genuinely difficult for me to process. I hired Patricia after deciding to move on from my previous attorney. I provided a complete file from my prior attorney and was told that her office would take over and begin working on my case. I paid my fees with the expectation that my case would be handled professionally and that I would have proper representation. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Months went by with very little communication. The day before a court appearance, her office began urgently contacting me, telling me I needed to go to the courthouse in San Diego to obtain paperwork because they were unable to get it remotely. I was left scrambling at the last minute, extremely stressed, and trying to help their office gather documents that I had already explained were included in my previous attorney's file. When I arrived at court, Patricia did not appear herself and sent another person to represent me. The person who appeared seemed unfamiliar with my case and did not properly introduce herself or advocate on my behalf. During the hearing, I felt completely unsupported. The judge questioned who was appearing for me and why someone other than the expected attorney was there. I was left trying to explain and defend myself while feeling embarrassed and overwhelmed in front of my former spouse and his attorney. I hired legal representation because I wanted a fair chance and because my family worked hard to help me afford that support. Instead, I walked away from that hearing feeling humiliated and alone. When I expressed my concerns to Patricia, her response was deeply upsetting. Rather than addressing my concerns, I felt dismissed and belittled. During our conversation, she told me that I was lying regarding what happened in court. That accusation was extremely hurtful and damaging. My profession is built on trust, honesty, and supporting people, so having my integrity questioned by someone I hired to protect me was devastating. I asked her how I could continue to trust someone to represent me if they believed I was dishonest. The response left me feeling unheard and unsupported. My experience with this firm left me without representation during one of the most stressful periods of my life. When I requested an accounting of my funds, I was told I would receive one, but after weeks of waiting, I was only informed that the money had been used. I never received the detailed accounting I was expecting. I originally chose Patricia because she was a woman, and I hoped she would understand the challenges I was facing. Instead, I felt dismissed, judged, and made to feel small. I am sharing my experience so others can make an informed decision. Please do your own research, ask detailed questions, and make sure you feel fully confident in who you trust with such an important and vulnerable part of your life.

I then began searching for a new attorney and spoke with several specialists before finding Ann Gottesman. From our very first phone conversation and meeting at her office, I knew I could completely trust her with my case. After thoroughly reviewing my situation, Ann honestly explained that because of my prior record and the circumstances of my case, the chances of getting my charge reduced were extremely low. She was straightforward and did not want me to spend unnecessary attorney fees pursuing unrealistic expectations. Even so, I asked her to continue and do everything possible for my case. Throughout the entire process, Ann guided me step by step and clearly explained everything I needed to do. English is my second language, but she always took the time to make sure I fully understood every detail. She consistently kept me informed about updates in my case and responded promptly whenever I texted or emailed her. Ann is calm, knowledgeable, professional, and highly respected. It was clear to me that her experience and communication skills carried significant weight with the district attorney's office. After nearly a year of persistent work -- including personal conversations, texts, and emails with the district attorney supervisor -- she was eventually able to negotiate a reduced charge for my case. One thing I learned from this experience is how important it is to have an attorney who is familiar with the court system, judges, and district attorneys. Everything I read in Ann's reviews turned out to be completely true. By the end of my case, the outcome itself almost became secondary because I was so impressed by Ann's dedication, honesty, and hard work. She truly treated my case as if she genuinely cared about me as a person, not just as a client. She went above and beyond in every aspect and even continued to help and support me after the case was over. Ann deserves far more than 5 stars -- not only because she achieved a favorable result, but because she truly cares about her clients. If you need legal representation, I highly recommend Ann Gottesman. She is the one attorney who will genuinely help and support you every step of the way.

Hello, First and…read moreforemost, I would like to thank Mrs. Michele Ferroni for her representation during one of the most difficult times in my life. This has all taken place from the onset and duration of the COVID-19 epidemic. Her solidarity has given me hope and provided undeniably positive results towards my family and I, during this very difficult time for all. My record is clean without prior issues in regards to the justice system. In late December 2019, around Christmas time I was involved in a personally devastating car accident. As a first-generation American who has never navigated the justice system and had no one to look to, I felt hopeless. I was referred to Michele Ferroni by a trusted immigration attorney whom volunteers her time towards advocating for marginalized communities in my line of work. I am so grateful for the referral to Michele, it has changed the course of my life. Words can not express Michele's representation as my attorney throughout my case. She has been an utmost and solid professional that was willing to take on a complicated case such as mine. Her expertise, precision, as well as her grit and determination was unparalleled. As zealous and diligent as she has been in tackling my case, she has also demonstrated her compassion and solidarity towards a person of color like myself who also belongs to the LGBTQ+ community. I consider her a true confidante as she has been a pillar of strength for me by going beyond her role. Throughout, Michele has been my anchor during this difficult time as she has created a safe space, always making me feel resilient and assured under her care. That's what sets Michele apart from anyone given her background, accomplishments, and accolades. She is truly a solid force that I feel honored to have on my side. She has given me the strength to navigate this difficult chapter of my life throughout a pandemic. Thank you so much. With nothing but gratitude and respect to the office and Mrs. Ferroni. - Luis M.S.
