Where can I start when I tell you that I feel so much more relieved and at ease having Debra and…read moreAlex on my team. From the very beginning, she's been nothing but honest she shoots straight from the hip and there's no bull attached. The only reason I haven't given five stars is because my case is still open. My ex decided to serve me with a divorce and during this whole time all he has done is stall me out as soon as he had me served, I responded within two weeks. Not only has he showed up without his paperwork twice in court, and is now asking for an extension of time during this whole hectic and stressful process, Debra, has reassured me that it'll soon come to an end. My hopes are that it's favorable as this could never be an easy Process for anyone. When I first started this journey without council, it was so confusing and so overwhelming but from the very first phone call I knew that this woman would get the job done. If you were thinking of getting a lawyer, please consider connecting with Opri & Associates.!!

Then Debra Opri should be your first phone call because she's not only a fantastic lawyer, but She Means Business and DOES NOT PLAY AROUND. I appreciated that Debra does not like to see her clients bullied. Down right, will NOT allow it. She carefully gathers all the information, decides on the best way to use it, and then knocks it out of the park. Debra really went to bat for me. I appreciate everything she did to make me feel strong and capable of going the distance. She said to me "When this is over, you're going to know that nobody can ever Mess with You. Not as long as you have me!" And boy was she right. Side note: a year after my case was over a client of mine found out her husband had been unfaithful - and was pretty brazen about it. She was devastated but knew she wanted him out of her life. I gave her Debra Opri's phone number. To this day, she thanks me for saving her life! Debra kicked that cheaters butt all over the courtroom! All this to say, if you are looking for an attorney who means business and gets the job done. STOP. You've found her.

This is one of those reviews that I want to really share everything amazing, but also I acknowledge…read morethis is just a YELP review, and anyone and their brother will read it. With that said, Lauren and her team were the saviors I needed in a time of serious and dark despair. They were immediately responsive, transparent, clear, available and fully invested in my case as if they were themselves on trial. I'm still not exactly clear how I found them, and how all the connections worked out the way they did, but the absolute LEAST I could do in return for them is to share with everyone and their brother that Lauren and her team are worth the investment. With that, yes, their rates maybe be higher than others, however when it came to how efficient they were with their time and how everything was invoiced, I honestly feel like I got an amazing deal, an objective ally, and a whole new level of respect for the profession and process. Lauren & team, you did everything right. Thank you, thank you, and thank you.

One thing I wanted to add but couldn't because of the character limit for my first review…read more.. This is not me trying to diss Google reviews or act like Yelp is perfect. Yelp has its own issues too. But in my experience -- especially with law firms, mechanic shops, rental-related services, healthcare specialties, and other service-based businesses -- Google reviews can be very misleading. Some businesses have nearly perfect Google ratings, but when you look closer, some of the reviews feel like bots, fake reviews, or paid reviews. Then you check Yelp and the picture looks completely different. For example, I came across a law firm with nearly perfect Google reviews, but on Yelp, that same firm averaged around 3 stars. Other locations for the same firm were closer to 1-2 stars, with detailed complaints that sounded much more like real customer experiences. Another tip for fellow Yelpers searching for lawyers: if a law firm has no negative reviews anywhere -- not on Google, Yelp, Avvo, Facebook, or any other platform -- that's a red flag to me. You really think they met every client's expectations? Every single time? Yo..let's not be naive lol. That doesn't mean every negative review is fair, and it doesn't mean every positive review is fake. But I've learned to actually study the content of both. What are people complaining about? What are they praising? Would those issues matter to you? And honestly, this applies to a lot of services -- not just law firms.but mechanics, doctors, therapists, contractors... oh yes, contractors are a big one. I'll have to write a whole separate review for the contractors I've used while remodeling and flipping houses. Different day. So no, I don't blindly trust Google reviews. I'm not saying Yelp is perfect, but Yelp gave me a better sense of the full picture. I hope this helps a mom, a dad, or a family, because some of these services and reviews we rely on are not as simple as finding who has the best tacos.

To respond back to this attorney. I hired this attorney for trial representation and at the very…read morelast minute at the courthouse she refused to go into the courtroom and pressured me to settle without any prior discussion. I want to make it clear that she did not give me the option to either settle or litigate. She simply said that "if we go in there we will lose." She also stated that flight tickets are $40, which was false and completely far off the actual price of tickets to fly to Texas from California and vice versa. She claimed that she was giving me something better than what the judge was giving me without any evidence. She also stated that Judges cannot interfere with a parent relocating out of state, which was also a lie as they can, if the relocation blocks the child from being able to see the other parent. I even informed her that when the opposing counsel told the judge she wants to relocate, the judge looked at her in disbelief like "what are we doing?" This comment went over her head. She ultimately robbed me of my right to trial by pursuing and pressuring something that was against my wishes. I confronted her about it and she said it was my inability to understand while it was actually her inability to litigate. If she could not litigate my case, she should've declined to take it altogether rather than taking my money and doing something that was against my wishes. All she did was mediate both parties even though she was not hired to be a mediator. This goes against her own fiduciary duty to the client, who was myself at the time. It appeared that she became lazy and felt uncomfortable litigating and going against my opponent in court. She should not be taking contested cases. To sum it up, based on my experience, she will take your money but not actually put effort into litigating your case in front of the judge.

Deborah and Emily are exceptional. I was in Family court fighting for custodial rights for 5…read moreyears, and it took getting these two on my side to finally win. I had gone through 4 different lawyers before them. Each time I thoroughly checked reviews and interviewed them, only to have their true identities show up later. Lawyer 1 (AVVO 9+) didn't listen, Lawyer 2 (AVVO 9+) didn't prepare until the weekend before and yelled at me for asking questions (and lost), Lawyer 3 got results but cost truly insane amounts (my entire inheritance in 9 months), Lawyer 3.5 (separate DCFS case) was ok, but still cost too much, Lawyer 4 (AVVO 9+) listened well at first, but never again, and then finally Deborah was recommended to me by a lawyer that worked next to my office (not family law). NONE of my prior frustrations appeared again. I worked primarily with Emily, but I feel I got the perfect dose of Deborah's oversight. Important aspects were run by her, I had access to her, but my bills were not overly peppered with her time. Emily was a great listener, and even better, she was great at explaining her rationale so that I didn't have as many questions. She never hid from me, the documents she authored were good, and she drafted them quickly. She welcomed my input, and even used some of it. I never felt the need or justification for questioning their bills, and I appreciated the occasional unsolicited write-off of a call or effort here or there. I truly felt that they CARED, from start to finish, and I finally was able to conclude a chapter of my life I never want to revisit, with all of my "must have" custodial rights. I highly recommend!!

Custody cases are never easy, but having a legal team that genuinely cares makes all the difference. I will always be thankful for Emely and the entire team for their dedication and support.

Retaining Jackie came with her years of knowledge and experience, her ability to negotiate, her professionalism, her understanding of the law, and her ability to anticipate issues before they became issues.

I am in the middle of a contentious divorce and my counsel at the time had said I needed to find a…read morenew attorney who could better handle the criminal allegations that had been made against my husband. I had been a victim of domestic violence for 10 years. My attorney gave me several names and Mary Beth Holloway was one of these options. I paid for the half hour consultation and Ms. Holloway started by saying she didn't know what she could do for me. I advised what my attorney said and the extensive domestic violence in the marriage. Ms. Holloway said "if there was abuse, why did you stay?" Apparently she has never heard of the trauma bond. I also have C-PTSD from years of torture at the hands of my husband and she sneered and said "everyone wants to say they have PTSD but they rarely do." I was victimized all over again. I cut the call off after 10 minutes and spent the rest of the day trying to recover from Ms. Holloway's callous attitude. If you are looking for a great attorney who understands domestic violence victims and can handle them empathetically, this lawyer should be your last call. I wouldn't wish her on my worst enemy.
