When divorce is inevitable or necessary, finding the right person to guide you through this…read moredifficult process can be one of the most stressful steps. The divorce process is extremely painful, regardless of which side you are on. Finding someone to trust with your past, present, and future is a daunting experience. When attorney Marie Braun decided to take my case after our initial interview and consultation, I was relieved. I did not know what to expect, as this was my first and hopefully only time navigating a divorce process. Attorney Braun's exceptional knowledge, compassion, and patience helped me find a sense of direction and hope, even in the most difficult moments. Through this experience, I learned that trust and positive change are possible, and that a supportive and skilled law firm like hers can make all the difference. Attorney Braun was our light at the end of the tunnel, never giving up on me even though I think I was so much to handle at once. Attorney Richard Sullivan's extraordinary expertise and compassionate passion to uplift many of us to navigate the complex journey of the divorce process has brought together the most exceptional team to make you feel inspired, safe and valued in every single aspect, from the moment you arrive at the law firm, Jaden at the front desk/reception is warm and attentive, Stacey Rozell consistently excels in the financial aspect of this process, is a phenomenal, brilliant and patient professional, always available to guide you and answering any questions you may have through the process from his area of expertise. Karen, attorney Braun's paralegal was always on top of every single detail. I am in the final stages of this difficult divorce and all that I can say is my mental and physical health are thriving because faith was the cornerstone and TRUST that I had the most outstanding representation. Richard, Marie, Jaden, Stacey and Karen from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for everything. Words are and will never be enough to thank each one of you and show appreciation for everything you have done for us. Thank you, God bless you all!

Brianna Reyes, David Dworakowski, and Lilian Rodriguez are a formidable team. I had the pleasure of…read moreworking with Quinn & Dworakowski on a legal matter, and hiring them was one of the best decisions I have ever made. They reviewed my case with a fine-tooth comb, which was especially important because they had to carefully sort through and evaluate work done by previous counsel. They were engaged, attentive, thorough, and treated both me and my case with the utmost dignity and respect. I used to dread going to court. Working with this team completely changed that experience because I had full confidence in my attorneys and knew that my case had been carefully prepared. If I ever face future proceedings, I would hire David Dworakowski to represent me in court again without hesitation. I am deeply grateful for the quality of representation, care, and professionalism I received from the entire team.

My brother and I consulted with this firm and were assisted by Atty. Danielle Struwe. From the very…read morebeginning, Atty. Struwe made us feel comfortable and walked us through what we could expect during the process. My brother was going through a nasty separation and was not familiar at all with what rights he had when it came to child custody and child support as he was not married to his child's mother. Atty. Struwe answered all our questions, and was extremely knowledgeable. I don't ever wish divorce on anyone; but if you have to go through it and must hire a lawyer to represent you, I would definitely recommend this firm. They genuinely care about their clients' success and well being.

Bridgman of The Eagle Law Corp. not only accepted my case, but handled it with the highest level of professionalism from start to finish. He was honest, trustworthy, and always took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and clearly. His Paralegal and Legal Assistant, Viktoria Pyankova, was equally outstanding--professional, responsive, and very supportive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Attorney Bridgman delivered excellent results. I highly recommend him and The Eagle Law Corp. to anyone in need of experienced, dependable, and professional legal representation.

SUPER ETHICAL; SUPER RESPONSIVE; SUPER SMART!! Klein &…read moreWilson is my outside general counsel. In particular, Mark Wilson works on my matters. Mark Wilson is an expert on attorney ethics and is one of only about 100 California attorneys that is certified by the California State Bar as a "specialist" to address legal malpractice matters. Why do I care? I like knowing that the California State Bar has determined that my lawyer has earned the designation "specialist" and that judges and other attorneys have endorsed him as being one of the most ethical attorneys in the State of California. Every time I have asked Mark Wilson to work on a project, he completes the project on time and within budget. All his advice to me (about contract matters and addressing potential issues with vendors and clients) has been right on point, and his advice has saved me tons of money. He not only gives me sound legal advice, but he also gives me business advice which has been super helpful. Mr. Wilson is kind, thoughtful and takes the time to understand my needs even though he is always busy attending to clients and regularly works evenings and weekends to address clients' emergencies. Mr. Wilson is one of hardest working people that I know, and anyone who needs an attorney would be lucky to have him work on their matter.

He asked how much the case was worth. I did not know and that I needed a consultation and do they handle legal malpractice cases, he said yes. He then proceeded to tell me that the firm does not handle that type of case and would decline representation. I said, interesting, since you didn't aske me anything about the case. Very unprofessional!!! I then hung up.

My case has been going on since 2023, so there was a lot of history and a lot of details to go over. Doug was very generous with his time, especially at the end of the day, and took the time to really listen and understand the situation. He also did a great job of managing the limited time we had, keeping the conversation focused on the key facts and making sure the time was used as effectively as possible. He was very open and honest about how he viewed the case, what he thought might happen, the reality of the situation I'm in, and what it may take to finally get the case finished. What I appreciated most was that he did not just give me opinions without explaining them. He gave clear reasons for what he was saying based on his decades of experience, his knowledge of family law, and his familiarity with the other attorney and the judge involved in my case. The conversation was extremely helpful and confirmed several concerns I already had, while also helping me feel more confident about some of the strategies and approaches I had been considering. Every case is different, and every person has different needs when choosing an attorney, but I would definitely recommend reaching out to Pinkham & Associates and speaking with Doug to see if he is the right fit. He came across as experienced, thoughtful, direct, realistic, and very effective with his time, which are all qualities you would want in an attorney representing you.

Terribly unprofessional. When asked about a consultation for mediation for a divorce, the…read morereceptionist wanted to have a conversation with both parties directly on the phone, at that exact time, before scheduling a consultation. This is terribly unprofessional, considering two parties trying to have a divorce are probably not sitting together making phone calls. The receptionist was not a paralegal and had no legal background. The receptionist did not seem to have compassion for the situation nor did she seem to understand what the emotional toll of that situation would be. I think they call this lack of bedside manner. The would never call or refer this business to anyone based on the front end service. Edit - Douglas, your response does nothing to make any of the situation better. Like most businesses interested in profit, you have streamlined your sales funnel to weed out us riff raff. Well done. But you know.. if you have time to respond to Yelp reviews, don't you also have time to chat with potential clients? Or are you just interested in marketing through yelp to push potential leads into that sales funnel? Right.

Hello, my name is Nick K. and this review is in response to a recent false and defamatory review…read moreposted by Archana V below. Archana V is my ex-wife who has a propensity for emotional instability. Archana V. and I are currently engaged in a highly contested matter over the custody of our child. Unfortunately, this is not the first time that Archana V. has made false and defamatory accusations against legal counsel. Archana V. has another defamatory review against Ms. Shelly Pawchuk. Additionally, Archana V. has also posted defamatory statements publicly against me in various on-line forums, and has made threats against my employment and education. Some additional context, I received my graduate degree from Harvard University with a concentration in Legal Studies. I also completed legal coursework at various institutions in the world, including The University of Chicago and The London School of Economics & Political Science. In addition, I served as an expert witness in high profile civil litigation. Lastly and most relevant, is that I served as a law clerk for almost 1 year, for a Circuit Court District Judge, specifically in the Family Law/Domestic relations division where I observed over 900 cases across 336 hours in the courtroom. As a result of my academic and professional experiences, I am confident to state that I know much of family law, integrity, truth and unlawful behavior. What Archana V. is attempting to do, is to mar the reputation of one of the most respected law firms in the world; a law firm, which I respect deeply, a firm which continues to be recommended by top family law attorneys as well as other clients seeking representation in complex family law matters. Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has provided me invaluable and objective representation, and I firmly believe that they will continue to do so until these highly contested matters are resolved. The statements that Archana V. makes in her post are completely false and defamatory in nature. My experience with Stegmeier, Gelbart, Schwartz & Benavente, LLP has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Jason Schwartz should be avoided - This is my opinion…read more Jason represented me for a divorce trial and did a miserable job. We had a mistrial and I was able to rid of him but it cost me lots!!! This guy cannot think strategically at all and his brain works on randoms details. He did not know the judge we were assigned to and could not communicate to him in a manner that Judge could understand. His understanding of Business matters is poor and he could not communicate the issues involved in valuing a business or anything complex regarding assets. He was unorganized and refused to make outlines for court presentations and just shot from the hip each day - What a mess!! He does not prepare any of his own law and motion and just presented his underlings work in court without really knowing the issues. His law and motion guy was good and I requested that he take over the trial but Jason refused to stand aside and continued to bumble. Find someone else!

I had a wonderful experience working with Jonathan on a legal matter…read more He was very understanding, taking the time to listen to my concerns and review the proposed settlement thoroughly. He then made amendments that better protected my interests. Throughout the process, Jonathan clearly explained the legal standards and my options, which gave me the confidence to stand my ground and make informed decisions rather than feel pressured into accepting the settlement. I'm grateful for Jonathan's guidance and would recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer who takes the time to understand their situation and help them protect their interests.

After a recent interaction with Jonathan, I've revised my review and lowered my rating from two…read morestars to one. I believe that I have an obligation to warn the community about this lawyer. I asked Jonathan to address three aspects of my case: (1) The case for breach of contract. (2) The case for fraud. (3) The enforceability of the limit of liability. Jonathan was unable to keep track of these objectives: His summing up of the case partly addressed the first aspect, but completely ignored the other two. It was impossible to get a clear, concise, and unambiguous assessment from him. Jonathan relies heavily on an AI tool that spits out a huge amount of hard-to-digest information. Also, when I suggested that he share some of the risk, his confidence in the outcome evaporated. After spending more than $2,400, I decided to drop the case.
