Emily is the ONLY attorney I've ever seen make a DA mad, because Emily's knowledge and comprehension is way above that DA here in San Joaquin. Remind you she did nothing insulting or rude. Emily is completely fair across the board and will not sugar coat things for you. She has told me im wrong for doing certain things but corrected me and gave me advice rather then shunning me. Pricing? abnormally cheap for an attorney. I cannot explain how good she is with out talking about my case. If you're interested in results look up " CR - 2022 5346 " But to sum things up. She beat a case that would normally be seen as unbeatable. I have given her business card to multiple of my friends. We will be contacting her again soon to help my friend gain citizenship.

I can't still believe it! It's been a year now since I got out of immigration custody. First I was…read morerepresented by a lawyer who promised to get me out and that I had really good case. The first time I interviewed with him at RCCC Sacramento I felt something negative about him "HONESTY" I mentioned to my family but they still hire him since they were paying. Eventually, the feeling I had became true. He was not a lawyer but liar. He took my money, and waste my time for about 4-5 months. So I made the best decision of my life and decided to fired him. Then I was referred to the "BEST OF THE BEST" Lawyers Emily Chrim. The 1st time she interviewed with I felt all the positive energy. I don't have words to explain. But, I knew she was the one just by instinct. She is honest,dedicated,positive, puts effort, and she is real. She don't give you hope. But for certain she is going to fight for you all the way. Long story, short. I was granted "KAT" Convention Against Torture . Always be in debt with Emily. Me and family are so grateful. I recommend her to any one with immigration needs.

My family and I had an experience with this law firm during the administration of my aunt's…read moreCalifornia probate estate. The estate contained limited assets. According to probate filings, the executor received nearly $75,000 in compensation and reimbursements, and the attorneys received more than $16,000 in legal fees. Based on our understanding of the will, several beneficiaries did not receive property or distributions that they believed were contemplated, and no one received any amount as much as the executor for assets less than $325,000, some assets were never addressed at all ii the final accounting, where the family had to purchase the last legal filings themselves. One concern relates to notice and transparency during the administration of the estate. Following service of the Inventory and Appraisal in April 2025, additional filings were made with the court through November 2025. It is our understanding that only one beneficiary signed a Waiver of Notice of Proposed Action in April 2023, while other beneficiaries did not waive notice. Subsequent filings after April 2025, including the final accounting and distribution documents, were not served on all beneficiaries, including matters involving compensation. If accurate, this raises questions about whether all interested parties were provided notice and an opportunity to participate in the probate process. Another concern involves accounting and financial disclosure. A family member requested a complete accounting of the estate's assets, expenses, and distributions on multiple occasions, including through formal service upon the law office. According to our records, a full accounting was not provided in response to those requests. There were also concerns regarding communication. As the probate progressed, communication became more limited. Requests for information and clarification were not consistently addressed, and responses were not always provided in a timely manner. In one instance, a named heir who asked questions was informed by Terry Loa that she was not a party to the case. When Rebecca Sem was contacted directly, a similar response was received. Concerns were also raised regarding the handling of vulnerable individuals. Family members informed both the executor and the attorneys that the decedent's son had lifelong cognitive impairments and later experienced a stroke affecting his decision-making capacity. Based on our observations, no formal evaluation or action addressing these concerns was evident during the administration of the estate. Privacy issues were another area of concern. Despite notification that a granddaughter had a no-contact order involving her father, probate documents continued to include her address in filings and correspondence. Questions also arose regarding the distribution of estate property. The distribution of certain items, including antiques, jewelry, and a vehicle, differed from what some family members understood to be the intended allocations under the will. Those distributions did not align with the decedent's intent based on available information. When Atty Sems was asked directly what had happened to a great-great grandmother's rocker and other assets, the response was that the son was given the option and any remaining items were disposed of. Overall, based on our review of the probate record and our experience, there were concerns regarding communication, notice, accounting, and the administration of the estate. Probate attorneys and executors have responsibilities that include providing notice, maintaining transparency, and administering the estate in accordance with applicable law and the decedent's wishes. This review reflects my family's experience and our understanding of the probate record. Individuals considering this firm for estate administration may wish to review court filings, inquire about attorney fees and executor compensation, and seek clarification regarding notice requirements and accounting procedures. This law office failed in our opinion to follow legalities and allowed an exector, the law firm and her spouse (who had no family relations) to profit from a families traumatic event.

I hope people understand that rating a business or lawyer or anything for that matter shouldn't be…read morebased on person feelings or a perfect ending. For instance Mr.Ellis and I decided not to proceed further at the end of our second meeting. So why am I giving them 4 stars? That's quite simple he's professional, he's knowledgeable, he's most likely a very efficient divorce attorney, he has a great staff, they return calls promptly, there very polite and helpful and they do more then the expected. Also when we mutually agreed it wasn't the right fit, there was no animosity and even though I didn't want or expect a full refund he offered to do so. I tried to tell him the full amount in unecessary but it was decided. If your looking for a firm you should at least meet with them because they really are a very professional and helpful.

Mr. Norton purchased a few rings and after accommodating him, despite his brash and rude behavior, when he requested a size change, he then became very aggressive after losing a small diamond in one ring after having the ring for a few months, and being asked to pay $35. Instead of asking us to help, he immediately threatened to write bad reviews, called us names and used bullying tactics to try to get us to cover a nominal fee. He has come back several times via email to continue harassing us despite us telling him we would not help him anymore due to his harassing and bullying behavior. As a grown man and supposed professional, if he becomes so easily unhinged at something of this nature, going to such extremes, one can only wonder how he would handle the stresses of being an attorney. Mr. Norton is clearly used to trying to strong arm people and behave outrageously to get his way.

First of all, do NOT go family court without a lawyer. We have just started the process here, yet I…read morehave more than enough to rate Katie. I would have been absolutely lost without Katie's guidance. Her job is to inform you, advise you, and to guide you through the court proceedings. I'm telling you, what I thought was important to tell the judge, really wasn't that important. This is a very personal process and a personal ordeal and she understands that, and then keeps you on track. Will repeat again, do NOT go to family court without a lawyer. I shopped around for legal representation before finding Katie via recommendation by another very respected attorney. She is the truth! She kept me focused, kept me on topic, and kept reminding me of what was important during the particular phase of the mediation or court arguments that we were in. I'll admit that I balked at calling her at first because of a couple of negative reviews on here, but I am so glad I did. Katie knows her stuff. Do your part and she will guide you on the rest. As a side note, there are no inexpensive attorneys. Although cost was definitely not the most important thing on my list (getting my daughter back was #1, duh), Katie was the least expensive attorney that I received a quote from. Did I mention that she knows her stuff? I am beyond thankful for her and her work and it's only been a few weeks and 1 session of court. If you care about your kids and just don't know where to start, give her law firm a call. Wish I could give more stars.

I hired Katie Limas for my family law case as a single mom, but I was very dissatisfied with her…read moreservices. I repeatedly told her and her staff that I couldn't afford to pay more than what I was already paying. The billing process was confusing and unprofessional. I was often hung up on or threatened when I questioned the charges. I also discovered that I was being charged for every time my husband contacted her, which I was not aware of. In court, she seemed unprepared, often fumbling over her documents and forgetting important details. When I raised concerns, she became aggressive . At one point, she suggested that I sell my house to cover the fees, and when I questioned her intentions, she threatened to add charges, all by email. Due to the stress and anxiety caused by Katie Limas and her team, I decided to fire her. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any positive results from my case.
