My very successful wife has hired an attorney that is dragging my name through the mud, and being disabled and on a tiny fixed income, I couldn't afford to retain an attorney to help me. Allysyn jumped right in with advice on how to move forward on offense, rather than trying to un-explode a bomb that already went off! The care and compassion for me in my situation was a very welcomed feeling of relief. Allysyn didn't judge me based on the accusations listed in the filings, she talked me through the whole process and left me feeling like this is going to all be ok. Now that she's got the ball rolling I'm not scared. I will update this review as we get done with this nightmare divorce. Smile, it'll be ok, just get Allysyn to fight for you! Thank you, Allysyn!!

I…read morehad been trying mediation for several years with little progress, and I felt frustrated and was ready to give up on mediation Brook helped me gain clarity about what was important to me and helped lay out a road map for how to move forward and try to finish through mediation. She helped me understand the law and see areas I should offer more leeway while at the same time encouraging me to take a stronger stance about issues that really mattered. She also gave incredibly valuable guidance on legal issues that had been overlooked in mediation; such insights lead to substantial changes to the final agreement in my favor. She and her team are incredibly efficient and also provided a lot of follow-up and warm support. I know Brook would have been a great lawyer in court, but with her guideance I was able to save additional time and money and complete mediation after a few sessions. With Brook's advice I participated in mediation with greater confidence and the final agreement was much fairer. Now that the divorce is behind us, my relationship with my ex is improving and coparenting is much smoother. I would highly recommend Meakin's Law!

This review is long overdue!…read more After working with an attorney that would not help with my high conflict custody case, I found Melissa back in 2020 and after a brief exchange and hearing her input I hired her immediately. Her and her team did an amazing job on keeping me updated throughout the process. High Conflict custody cases are very difficult to deal with as is, with Melissa's guidance throughout the past 4 years has helped with the transition. The process was long due to the other party making it difficult to get shared custody. I trusted the steps needed and in the long run I was able to achieve what was in the best interest for my children. Her and her office responded in a timely manner and answered all of my question. Custody cases are difficult as it, I thank Melissa and her office for making my experience a positive one that in the long run benefitted my children. I would highly recommend them to friends and family!

I cannot thank Lamano Law enough for the outstanding work they did on my case. After being pulled…read moreover by CHP on the freeway and charged with a DUI, I was extremely worried about my future, especially because I hold a commercial driver's license. From the very beginning, the team at Lamano Law was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They handled every aspect of my case and provided excellent representation in court. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless, which was a huge relief. I was placed on probation for two years, and once my probation was completed, Lamano Law successfully helped me get my case expunged. Most importantly, they helped protect my commercial driving license, which allowed me to continue working and supporting myself. Their dedication, communication, and results exceeded my expectations. If you are facing DUI charges and need a law firm that truly fights for its clients, I highly recommend Lamano Law. They made a difficult situation much more manageable and achieved an outcome I am incredibly grateful for.

She even supplied me with extra resources that I had not known of or considered. 100% recommend if you are looking for someone who knows what they are doing and what they are taking about.

She stepped in…read morelate in the day, quickly understood the complexity of the situation, and immediately got to work. Despite the time pressure, she provided me with a clear, strategic courtroom script that helped me stay focused and preserve critical issues on the record. As someone who has been navigating this process pro se, going up against an extremely litigious opposing party and what feels like a very father-leaning courtroom dynamic, Norah has been the edge I needed. She is sharp, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable -- but what sets her apart is that she combines that precision with empathy. She doesn't minimize your situation or default to "well, this is what you signed up for." She meets the facts head-on and builds a plan. Norah is astute, composed, and tactically thoughtful. She understands both the legal framework and the human dynamics of family court. If you need someone who can move quickly, think clearly under pressure, and equip you with strategy rather than platitudes, she is that lawyer.

I thought very hard about writing this review, but I do feel other people ought to be warned. I am…read morea trans woman, and I wanted to hire a lawyer to do my name / gender change forms. I googled and found that Levine Family Law advertises this service. They charged, as I recollect, $3500. The forms went in fine, but then I waited for months for the court order to be entered. At first they said six weeks, but the timeline kept slipping. I started having calls with Levine asking what was happening--they said the SF court was backed up and that it would take time. But it became clear that they did not have a direct line to the courthouse and had a very difficult time getting hold of human beings over there: they were essentially blind. I asked for a call with my lawyer, Stan, but was informed he had left the practice (nobody had told me). I had a call with the office manager Katie, and she basically told me I'd just have to wait. It was very nice and all, but she said I just needed to wait. I live about 20 min drive from the courthouse, so after that call I got so frustrated I got in my car, and I went to the courthouse. There was no line at the records office. They pulled my application, and the clerk said he'd put it on the top of the stack on Monday. By Tuesday, my name/change order was granted, and I had my certified copies. What makes me angry is that I was repeatedly told that the courthouse was busy and, essentially, incompetent, but actually every interaction I've had with them, whether for this or for other records requests, has been prompt and efficient. There is almost never a line; they are very helpful in answering questions. It has become clear to me that Levine Family Law merely scapegoats the courthouse, and that the true issue is their inability to get anyone there on the phone. In the USA, we don't hire lawyers merely to fill out forms--we hire them to shepherd us through the legal process. Levine family law certainly would never be as cavalier about the fate of a child custody or divorce decree--it is only their trans clients that they leave to fend for themselves, twisting in the wind for months. It is unconscionable to charge people $3500 and then be unwilling to take twenty minutes to, say, show up at the courthouse and make sure the decree actually gets entered. If you're not willing to do what it takes to get the decree granted, please don't offer it as a service. As it is, I have no doubt that if I'd filled out the forms myself and gone to the courthouse on my own, I'd have gotten everything done much quicker and more cheaply. I want to reiterate that the forms they filed were apparently fine, but they had absolutely no orientation to actually following up with the court. No doubt they will respond to say that they did their job when they filed the forms. But I was advised by Stan specifically that he was going to be in my corner, following up on these forms. When a firm charges for this service, they are charging for peace of mind--the idea that they will handle everything. If all you want is someone to file forms, maybe this law office is fine, but if you want someone who will make sure the decree actually gets granted, you shouldn't go with them.
