Don't waste your time here. 3 lawyers here and left a message on Saturday for a call back for potential hire. It's Monday afternoon, 2pm, and no call back . I call the office , and cost is $180 for a phone consultation lol Ridiculous.. before I initiated that consultation , I gave a little more information, and turns out, the lady returned on the phone to say "we can't help you." No information given other then that. Another lawyer in this broke town that isn't worthy of doing good work and glad I didn't go to them which I will hire someone out of town with higher Yelp reviews! Look elsewhere for this and look up solid high reviews !!! read more

Horrible response time getting paperwork signed and delivered. They are not in a hurry to get your divorced finalized because they can tack up the bills with phone calls and emails. read more

I needed a good divorce attorney and thought I found one, I was very very wrong picking this unreliable law firm. My case was fairly simple, no properties involved. I was married for 17.5 yrs. I had recuperated from Major back reconstructive surgery n doing well until I ended up being paralyzed in a hospital. Come to find out I was poisoned with arsenic. This is when I was abandoned by the wife and fully paralyzed. She also stoled my inheritance monies of $80k, that was the last time I saw her. I explained all of this to Miss Torres, part owner of Cash-Dudley & Torres. She explained that's not part of my case, the poisoning. Okay, let's see, I inherited $100k, unfortunately like a idiot I put those monies into a Jt savings account, I didn't want problems for her(wife) if I were to pass. I almost did, I went from 200+ to 145lb in little over 2 months. I know she did this, no one else could have, I just can't prove it. Anyways this a long story. This law firm would Absolutely Never let me speak to my attorney-Torres, Never in 4yrs, which is absolutely ridiculous, could I unless it was on their calendar to do so. They PostPoned-Postponed Non Stop. They Always used COvid 19 as a excuse to continually Postpone. Each time costing me Lots n Lots of my monies burning Up my retainer. Finally they send me papers to sign for a conference mtg (4yrs+) then court if we don't agree to sign. Now I don't understand these papers n asked to speak with Torres, no I have to speak to a paralegal,, I still don't understand. I still have three months to conference date. I talk to Their bookkeeper n I'm told I have to pay the balance of the bill which is $4.5k before Torres will continue. I had sent $1500 for the comparison of both of our retirements as I agreed to prior to this conversation with the Bkeeper. Now I had agreed to $100 per month which they took out of my checking account and I was doing this almost for a year. Bookkeeper says that wasn't enough, Torres said it was enough. Torres stated she'd work with me on my bill. Next thing I know as I'm reading the divorce agreement papers from the wife's attorney that was sent to me. I knew something was wrong when I got that in the mail. I'm not supposed to get mail from the wife's attorney. I call the Torres firm and I'm told I'm Not represented by them Anymore. Actually I'm not surprised. I didn't want to carry a balance with them and I told them that over n over this would be paid off very soon. That bookkeeper Knew they were dropping me when she said the balance had to be paid in full before conference time. So if you have $20k extra to just pay a attorney to Drop you at the last minute because they wanted a additional $4.5k retainer before your one n only one conference mtg on top of the $18k that Uve already Paid, that's the law firm for you.Torres paralegal said it was in the contract that I signed on with them that the extra retainer is required for conference n court. They gave me a Song & Dance as they we're putting over a barrel. They Would Never let me talk to Torres unless it was on their calendar to do so. Torres never returned my calls but Always managed to send me a monthly bill. She never worked with me like she said she would. So if you want to be put over the barrel for $20k plus and dropped as a client even though you're paying them monthly as agreed, then I Highly Recommend that firm. Good Luck & I don't believe in luck at all. I don't believe Attorneys either, I've never found one I could trust in retrospect ‍ read more

Disappoint: The staff was courteous and professional. After paying 180.00 for a consultation. One would think that being on time or at least an " Im sorry" would be important . I waited in the lobby for 30 min. No one said a word. After 35 min, I stood up and requested my check back. read more

Petricia Torres has given me really good advice when I was not able to think straight. Going through a divorce is very difficult but having her by my side has given me the confidence that someday everything is going to be OK. read more

Please save yourself the stress and absurd amount of money and go somewhere else, to an attorney who actually cares and fights for their client's rights. Patricia Torres is not the one!! She shows ZERO emotion or care in your case. She will tell you what you want to hear during the initial consult but once hired it's a whole different ball game! She will charge you absurd amounts of money for every little thing including emails that she doesn't even acknowledge, calls you don't get back in a timely manner, calls with others you didn't authorize etc. She is completely impossible to reach, sometimes having to schedule APPOINTMENTS weeks in advance to even speak to her on the telephone for five minutes which is absolutely ridiculous. Patricia was one of the most unhelpful, unsupportive attorneys that I've ever worked with not to mention the most expensive, she didn't give a damn about my case after being hired. She does the bare minimum. She wasted my time, missed opportunities and did nothing at my hearings that I asked or that we discussed and took me for thousands of dollars. I dealt with her unprofessional assistant as well, who also doesn't return calls and always sounds annoyed with you. It's unbelievable. This place will not get you anywhere but broke! They don't deserve the one star that I had to give and do not have your best interest at heart. Don't end up like us...read the other bad reviews, they're true! Run far away from this dishonest "attorney" read more

I was directed to Cash-Dudly & Torres. I set up a consultation with Stacy Speiller. She had booked 3 consultations for the same time. I was last. They changed me 180.00 dollars for 30 minutes. After I explained to stacey what was going on for 15 minutes she said she was going on vacation and had to many clients to take me on. That she could refer me to one off her Associates if I would like. So at the end of the day I was without representation and 180.00 less. I would give zero stars to stacy speiller read more

Patricia is the best lawyer! She's worth every cent! I definitely recommend to to anyone going through a divorce or custody battle.

My cousin used this spot for his custody situation and said April was awesome. Well I decided to use her for my divorce and custody. I'm very pleased with the outcome of everything and her fees are well worth the work she does. I highly recommend anyone in need of a good family law attorney to call them ASAP for a consult. read more

Torres represented me in the past. I went to mediation and she sat there while the other lawyer representing my ex rip into us. I had to basiclly fight back myself and Torres had the gaul to tell me to stop. If i had not spoken up my ex would have got everything he requested. I really did not feel represented. And after all that I was quoted one price and in the end she added an additional $1000. And I just called to ask a simple question about that case..they did not know who I was but wanted me to pay for consult on that case I had they represented me so poorly. If you want a divorce attorney save your money and go to a less expensive one because this one is way over priced and for nothing. read more

Thank you Stacy Speiller for being a Attorney that has BALLS! When I say Balls I mean she is a fighter. I have had several Attorney's and she is the only one that really stood up for me. Thank you again Mrs. Speiller. read more

This office came highly recommended when I started my divorce process. I live in San Joaquin county & was assured by their office that they service my county. Well come to find out the "highly recommended" attorneys of the office only do Stanislaus county. The only option is 1 attorney that comes to my county. On first meet I felt satisfied with my choice. But as time has progressed & issues have arisen my lawyer & her paralegal have cared more for my ex's concern & issues than mine, I am paying them to be my voice & to fight for me. Now that there are custody orders in place my ex refuses to give his address & April Meyer tells me not to worry about it & I need to let it go, get over it. He is in violation of court orders and there's nothing she's going to do about it! I'm so over their lack of care for my case. I feel so unimportant, b/c I don't have a "high-asset, high net worth" case then I'm just not worth quality representation? I feel trapped since I'm waiting for a "trial" date...I would love to fire them. If you want a law office who doesn't much care for fighting for their "lower-net worth" clients & do the bare minimum then look no further. But if you want an attorney who fights for you & demands what is right no matter how much your net worth is then please keep looking. This place isn't it. read more

This attorney office is deplorable. They do not care if their filings and lies destroy children. If you have money to burn this is the office for you. They fight for trials, file unnecessary paperwork at your expense, and lie. In fact Patricia Torres is known by colleagues as a shameless liar. If you are that person who wants a divorce and want to destroy your ex they are for you. If you have children involved I would steer clear. They also sell a book on their website about child custody. Don't buy it! They do not follow any of the guidelines outlined. For your children's sake run far from this office. They do not care about you, just money. All they see are dollar signs. If you don't have money they won't even give you the time of day. Divorce is hard enough on both parties involved with out hiring these individuals to cause massive drama and irreparable damage to all involved. Again, if you have kids run. The emotional trauma they will bring is not fair nor worth your child's emotional health. read more

Ms. Torres has been knowledgeable and kind every time I have come to her office for a consultation. She knows what she's doing, and gets right to the point. I wish I had known about her when I started my divorce. It would be finished by now, and with better results. A consultation for $180 is a Bargain. read more

Anybody out there looking for a very professional legal team to represent you then you must pick cash dudley and her staff. When I first started looking for an attorney I based it on the best price I could find. Big mistake. If you want somebody that has your best interest at all times then this is the team. Yes I paid a little more but it is well worth it because when you go the cheap route it actually costs you more in the long run due to hidden charges along the way. When you call ask for Patrica Torres. Patrica and her staff are awesome and they do truly care about you and your case. I want to thank you and your staff for a great job. read more

Patty is AMAZING!! She got my husband and I everything we asked for. It's not easy for a father to get custody of a child (big surprise courts favor the mother) but with her it was possible! I watched her fight for my mom so there was no doubt in my mind we wanted her to be our lawyer as well!! She definitely doesn't back down and will fight for you and for what's right! Can't thank her enough! read more

Miss Stacy speiller is like a god for me, I have no words to say anything else about her, I don't know how can i tell what I feel, but she came in my life like a Angel. I had my divorce pending since 2012 with another attorney but he never did anything with my divorce case. There was always new court dates, every time I was going to the court and still the same new court hearing that's it. And then I contacted to stacy speiller in 2017, yes 2017. I made an appointment with her I talk to her, I explained her what was going on, and told her that my divorce is pending since 2012 and now it's 2017. I was crying when I was explaining her my side. At the end of my meeting she said you'll be ok, and you're gonna have divorce very soon. I was so happy to hear that bcs she was confident about my case. I met miss Stacey speiller in June 2017 . And I had court hearing in August 2017 then at my first court hearing with stacy spiller I went to the court and I had my divorce in the same day, wow just wow. I was crying I couldn't believe that it happened? But finally I got divorce. Bcs of the stacy speiller I got my divorce in one court hearing just one wow. Bcs of my old attorney my divorce was pending since 2012 but I got my divorce only bcs of stacy speiller in August 2017 . Just in one court hearing. She is the best. Very professional, really good with clients. I don't even have enough words to say thank you to her. For other people she's the attorney but for my she is the Angel. Thank you so much stacy thank. You means a lot for me. read more

Wow this firm is not good. I went there a few months back regarding my child custody case. She was no help at all paid 180 dollars for a 10 min consultation and said i needed drug classes when i told her i dont use drugs. She had told me that my case would cost $3000 dollars. And would not even take my case. Even if i did use substances wouldn't a lawyer defend you instead of against you. Anyways i hired Vita. And i passed hair Follicle test by the way and i DID NOT HAVE TO ATTEND DRUG CLASSES BECAUSE MY X WIFE SAID I WAS USING. I WANT MY 180. DOLLARS BACK THAT YOU GAVE ME FALSE HOPE AND DID NOTHING FOR ME. AND TOLD THAT WHOEVER ELSE I WOULD HIRE WOULD BE DOING ME OUT OF SERVISE LIES ALL LIES. DONT GO TO THIS ATTORNEY. read more

This law firm knows the legal system and will help you to the best of their ability. The paralegals are not the best, they don't follow through with calling back when they say they will, but the attorneys, specifically Patti Torres, is hands down the best choice. I've worked with this office for almost 9 years now and the only complaint is the paralegals and not responding, but the actual legal knowledge and representation you receive it outstanding! The lawyers are straight forward and tell you directly if your thoughts are irrational, they also advise you that if you don't give them 100% of the info/facts that it will be very difficult for them to represent you. So, if you're as straightforward with them as they are with you, then this is the law firm for you! Just remember, the paralegals aren't the best when it comes to return phone calls, emails and keeping things moving, you might have to put in a little follow up work yourself to keep the paralegals moving, but the legal knowledge and representation is above and beyond! read more

I have been using this law office for about 3 years now and I am completely satisfied. I have read some other reviews and I have to say I have never experienced any wrong doing by anyone there. My attorney is April Meyer and she definitely makes me feel like she has my back. Everyone's case is different and we cannot win every battle. There were definitely times where I felt completely defeated and thought that the courts were not listening but April helped me see how it works and although I did not get exactly what I wanted my little girl is happy with the situation and that's all that matters. Lawyers are the there to support us within reason. They are our voices when we need one and they are our cheerleaders when we feel like giving up. However, keep in mind that although they fight for us we cannot always have our way and sometimes there just isn't anything anyone can do. Remember they do not make the rules. Any time I have called the office I have gotten a response and everyone has been so kind to me. When things got rough for me they worked with me so I could stay with them. I have to go back to court yet again and I am so happy I have April because I couldn't do it without her. Its nice to have someone invested in me and someone who seems to feel what I feel and wants to help me make it right. I may not get a response right away but I also know that they are so good at what they do that I am not the only one calling them or needing something that day and even if I have to wait a little while the job is still being done for me expertly. These ladies are the best at what they do and they will definitely fight for you and be in your corner so I hope that everyone reading these reviews will check them out I promise you will be glad you did! read more

I have been represented Patti Torres for about the last four years now. My case has been very complex property, divorce, 4 children and abuse. Patti has been by my side through this entire struggle and obstacles. I started off with a other lawyer who basically handed my ex husband everything including my children and he never was apart of before our split did not know their daily routines or school schedules or sports schedules. Patti listened to myself not just to myself, but my children were heard. An the truth was heard and that was the biggest blessing. She is amazing, to this day I am still going through the process of things and she continues to work with my children and I she has not given up on us once. An we are talking a little over 4 years and believe me it has not been easy at all. She has shown up to hearings even when her voice is going out to fight for her clients. I would recommend her 1000 times over. She has guided me in all the right directions. Thank you Patti read more

if you want professional help look elsewhere I put my trust in patty it was probably better if I represented my self .. in the web page she states that she is a pro at family law but its not true I paid 1,650.00 for her to represent me and she didn't show up till child support case worker went and got her from another room and then she was falling asleep in the court room this is not what I expected from a 350.00 dollar an hour professional law firm she asked me to produce a lot of docs and info and didn't even use it in my favor I got screwed with out a fight o yea and they changed me 75.00 for a phone call... read more

This law firm came highly recommended and I thought I'd found the right attorney to help me with me with my custody case. I was way wrong! She didn't listen to me or help me in the slightest. My custody order has more flaws than I can count and when I pointed them out she did nothing to change them. One example is their is a block of time where no one has custody of the children! You'd think a family law attorney would have fixed that when I showed her. But nope. She brought none of my evidence before the court and straight lied to me about several things. When I called to ask about it she wouldn't come to the phone and then sent me a letter. She billed for double than she quoted, despite only meeting with her twice. Then billed me for letters she sent me twice. Every concern I had she told me not to worry about them, but my concerns were right. I wouldn't recommend this firm to my worse enemy. read more
