Paula is the Lawyer you need and want. She reviews everything and documents prior cases, summarize…read morein a clear precise manner. I needed her help regards to my divorce .You will find ourself poring out your soul, and I am not one to let on about my private life. I make my mistakes but prefer to learn from it and move on. She never rushes, keeps you informed and updated. She works long hours and I can attest to that by the emails that she wrote and sent in the early morning hours. She has a very calm way about her that will calm you down. If you need help, at least see her and find out for yourself. I would have given her 10 stars if I could. Valerie S.

If you are looking for an honest, caring, understanding family law attorney, who is also…read moreprofessional, knowledgeable, and willing to go to bat for you, look no further than Paula Robinson. Paula has worked with me through my divorce (amicable) and custody (not so amicable). Throughout the entire process Paula acted as not only good legal council, but as a support for me. She made sure I understood the legal process, recommended top notch professionals for me to const with, and most importantly, Paula told it to me straight. Sometimes the truth is hard to hear but she never shied away from being true, real, and honest. I don't know if I would have made it out of the challenging process (at least it was challenging in my case) with my sanity without Paula. She is a tremendous resource and I can not recommend her services, and her, more.

Oh my God finally an attorney with a brain. Expensive yes but worth it. Why are divorces so…read moreexpensive? Because they are worth it that's why. After two amazingly crappy attorneys (not just my opinion there are other reviews to attest to this), Geoffrey got it done. Took a while because my idiot ex-husband Julian kept dragging it out, but the case was resolved to my advantage. It did not help that the other two incompetent attorneys who didn't last very long on my case did not work out. Sometimes you just have to find the right fit. not sure how the first two attorneys Jennifer and Keith stay in business. Ms. rude and mr. stupid. So thanks Geoffrey, for saving the day.

I started working with Barbara over 13 years ago when seeking a divorce. Over those 13 years,…read morethere were numerous times I would have to re-hire her for support and court appearances. I cannot say enough about her as a person and her skills. I always admired how she represents herself in the court room as well as her representation of my case in our numerous court appearances. You will not regret hiring Barbara!!

We were so very pleased to have Barbra representing us in a recent court case. It was a very…read moredifficult situation, and she handled it with the upmost professionalism.

I've had lots of lawyers ,some good some bad. I can say this if Mike accepts you and you do what he asks , he knows he can and will win . He won't take you just to get some money . He is driven to win period .

I was excited about Tessa's boss energy, and having a local fierce female attorney…read more Unfortunately it wasnt a good experience. They failed to handle my documents properly so the thing I paid them thousands to prepare wasn't even considered by the court. They were hard to get ahold of in general, and the preparation of said document was done with very little communication with me. It was sent to me to sign without any input or review at the VERY last minute and my request for edits was met with curt dismissal. Very disappointed.

Tessa helped me tremendously through the darkest time of my life. My ex kept my children from me…read morefor two months and I had no avenue or knowledge of the system and what I needed to file to regain my children. My ex and I were separated at the time but not on paper, so going to the police did nothing for me. Even as the mother of my children, law enforcement told me their hands were tied without any legal documents. He had my children in another County away from our home and I feared that would complicate things. Since Tessa is a divorcee herself, she is highly relatable and eased me into the process with real life accounts and uplifting me during this tough time. She is realistic and supportive, she walked me through the processes and had pre-meetings with me for court dates anytime I requested it. She made getting my children back a priority. We did encounter some hurdles with the local police in the city my kids were being held but Tessa kept pushing forward with different options and avenues for me. I was able to get my children back right around Mothers day and it felt like a miracle! After the custody was all sorted out, she helped me get my divorce finaled...which is a long drawn out process, regardless of which lawyer you choose. Tessa and her staff were available to support me in anyway I needed, even from afar. I am based in Monterey County but I never once felt like they weren't providing me with excellent service and support. I highly recommend Tessa if you are looking for a supportive lawyer who will fight for you even when you feel like giving up. Divorce is not easy but there is light at the end of the tunnel and Tessa can help you navigate through the tough court system.

Carolyn Harris and her assistant Melissa have handled my case for the past 5 years since the…read moreDecember 2019/January 2020. From my divorce, to custody battle, and a whole lot in between, Carolyn has been second to none when it comes to the value of handling my case(s). I would recommend Carolyn to any person who is in need of a true professional when it comes to Family Court. Please be mindful that an Attorney is only their best when you as a client handle your situation(s) professionally. I assure you the value you will receive in your case with Carolyn Harris as your Attorney will be more than you expect if you follow her guidance and knowledge in handling your case. Do not second guess this choice!!

Her assistant is super nice but Carolyn is mean and crabby. She kept telling me what the court…read morewants. The thing is, if I'm paying an attorney, that person is suppose to be my advocate. I spend 15 minutes with her explaining things and she insisted I was wrong when I provided all the documentation. I spent another 15 minutes watching her on zoom read my documents. It was a complete waste of money and she looked miserable. Not all lawyers are unhappy. Look for someone who actually is a compassionate person and will be your advocate. The whole reason why you get a lawyer is to protect your right. Not to tell you what the court wants!!!
