I reached out to Laura for help in transferring a forestry property to my father's trust that was…read more20+ years overdue after not just one, but two deaths in the family. From the first call, she set us at ease with clear and concise explanations of the potential probate paths that we might have to go down. As she got further into the matter, she was able to communicate with both the county and the forestry service to accept a simpler transfer process which saved us both time and money. After far too many years of stressing, Laura was able to get the matter resolved in a matter of several months. I wish we had called her sooner!

Where do I even begin…read more... If your Ex hired a lawyer in El Dorado county with a name that rhythms with "Smessa Layer" DO NOT HIRED THEM. I honestly think they work together going back and forth just to rake up their clients bills. Not to mention, if they go to court for you, they charge each client for the court hearing an hourly fee only to give you 10 min of their time. I hired Luke to finish up my divorce once my ex's lawyer decided to ask for my retirement information. At this point, I was 85% done with my divorce. I had filed papers on my own, requested a settlement date, applied for spousal support, etc (payed all of that out of pocket). I had even come to an agreement with my ex. Things had transpired between us and the agreement was no longer a 'go' so I called Luke with the expectations of his solely getting me a divorce, I.e, write up an agreement stating that my ex keeps his things and I keep mine (which would have worked for both parties). Originally I was quoted $7500 as a retained and was told verbatim by Luke "we usually do $10000 for a retainer, but since you are almost done, $7500 should be more than enough". Halfway through I had to pay $3500 more and they ended up charging me close to $1000 over that on my final bill. For a simple settle agreement that I was forced to go to court for. I set them up with one need- a settlement agreement and it took months and thousands of dollars to get it.

Working with Mike Petersen has been the worst thing that ever happened to my family - I truly…read morebelieve that he indirectly killed my grandfather.

I went to this attorney for help with Social Security Disability. They accepted my case and told…read moreme it would be about a year before court. About six months later I receive a letter from B. Alberts that I have been dropped as a client and that I have a court date scheduled in less than a week. The letter stated that I was dropped because they couldn't get a hold of me?!?! Strange, I'm holding a letter from B. Alberts in my hand addressed to me, at my address. The letter states that they tried to call me but the numbers they had were disconnected. This may be true but I would think that B Alberts had more than a week or two to advise me of my much earlier the expected court hearing. Why they would wait till the last minute to mail me something about it and that I'd been dropped as a client?!?! Due diligence was not exercised in my case. To make matters worse while looking for a new attorney every local disability attorney I called wouldn't touch me after telling them my case file was at B. Alberts's office. Now I'm completely destitute, all thank to B. Alberts Attorney at Law.

I highly recommend Dale Gomes! He is an amazing defense attorney! The best in California in my…read moreopinion!! I hired Dale Gomes to help defend me against 3 bogus/frivolous lawsuits a few different people filed against me around the same time. All 3 cases were riddled with lies and absolutely no truth! Within just a few hearings Dale shut down every single false accusation. He was so articulate, organized, and detail oriented..He truly made the entire process easy and stress free for me. If it weren't for Dale's professionalism, years of experience, and hard work, I really don't think any of the judges would've ever seen the truth. These lawsuits were very complex, but Dale laid out all the facts in each case effortlessly. At the end of the day it only took 3 hearings for Dale to get all 3 of these bogus cases dismissed for good!!!! I put all my trust into Dale Gomes and I'm so glad I did! No attorney will fight for you like he will- I can promise you that! He's a bulldog in the court room! No matter how small your case may be, he will fight fearlessly for you! Thank you Dale for all your hard work.. I sincerely appreciate you bringing the truth to light and getting these frivolous lawsuits dropped!!!
