I'm very grateful that I was referred to Jinna when I was looking for someone I could trust…read more From our first consultation, Jinna quickly understood my situation and helped me focus on realistic goals and the right path forward. She listened carefully, created a comfortable environment, and gave clear, practical advice instead of wasting time on unnecessary steps. That gave me confidence from the beginning. I also appreciated that she had experience working with international clients and was comfortable with remote hearings, which made the process much easier for me. My case ended up taking almost three years, which was much longer than I expected. Throughout that time, Jinna remained consistent in both her communication and approach. She made sure I understood my options, explained each stage clearly, and helped me think through decisions carefully instead of reacting in difficult moments. What stood out most to me was her ability to stay focused on what mattered most while still paying close attention to the details. Even over such a long process, I always felt that decisions were being made thoughtfully and with care. I'm also very grateful to Bona for always being responsive and organized, and to Ron and Lauri for their support throughout the process. Having a reliable team made a real difference. I would recommend Jinna and her team without hesitation.

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.

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!!

After multiple consultations and thousands of dollars in the trash and hearing "not much I can do" and frustrated, Attorney XYZ referred Attorney Ji Park of Park Family Law.

Attorney Park took my call, listened with her best Dr. Bedside Manner and immediate unbiased empathy and said, "I'll take a look." Within a few days, she contacted me and said, "I think I see something but it will be an uphill battle." We met and within a few days after retaining her, she assembled a team of attorneys that included additional local counsel but sister state counsel, ALL of who concurred with her vision and agreed, that there was something there.

I do not recommend this firm…read more I'm sure they'll respond the way they always do to negative reviews by claiming they can't find any record associated with my name. That's intentional. I don't want to identify myself while my case is still unresolved and risk having my case sabotaged before I have the chance to find another attorney after they've dragged me along for nearly two years. I genuinely feel bad for the staff because my case manager was always responsive. It seemed like she was the only one making an effort because the attorney who was supposedly assigned to my case never communicated with me--not once. And that's considering I had two "case managers" during the duration of my case. After nearly two years, I never had a single conversation with the attorney who was supposedly representing me. I did everything they asked of me. I attended therapy, provided witnesses, gathered evidence, and followed every instruction they gave me. Despite all of that, they never filed my case. Now, after almost two years, they've decided to drop my case, saying it "isn't feasible to pursue." If that was truly the case, why did they accept it in the first place? Why continue representing me for nearly two years if you never intended to take it to court? If my case was so weak that it wasn't worth pursuing, you should have been honest from the beginning instead of wasting valuable time that I can never get back. To make matters worse, after keeping me in limbo all this time, they tell me I now have only a limited amount of time left to find another attorney and pursue my claim. Their delay has put me in a far more difficult position than I would have been in had they simply declined my case from the start. Based on my experience, this firm appears to be more interested in cases that lead to quick settlements than in genuinely advocating for their clients. If that's not the case, then their lack of commitment is deeply concerning. Either way, my experience has been extremely disappointing, and I cannot recommend this firm.

He took the time to understand my situation and always made me feel that my concerns were heard and taken seriously. His thoughtful guidance helped me navigate a very challenging time with greater clarity and confidence. What I appreciated most was his ability to anticipate potential outcomes and provide honest, realistic advice. He never encouraged unnecessary legal battles or unrealistic expectations. Instead, he focused on finding practical solutions and achieving fair resolutions while helping me avoid the additional stress and expense of going to trial. Throughout the entire process, I truly felt that Lee was on my side and genuinely cared about achieving the best possible outcome for me.

This is my Reply to Lee Salisbury's Response to my first review. PLEASE read my prior review. Both…read morereviews should be read together. Lee mentioned, several times, that he works as an arbitrator on a "voluntary basis." If he did not have adequate time to prepare for my proceeding, then he should NOT have agreed to take on the matter. It is not acceptable to waltz into an arbitration proceeding and wing it when one of the parties has a lot at stake. Whether or not he is getting paid, he has a fiduciary to duty to be prepared and to do a competent job. I do not believe that I got that from Lee. He work was shoddy and last minute. Similar to the work product explained in the Avvo review of his firm from an anonymous reviewer on January 15, 2013. Lee stated that my review "does not present a fair and accurate picture of the arbitration process that occurred." (His words). Not only is my prior post accurate, it is precisely what occurred. I gave a detailed and factual account of what happened. Something his response did not do. Instead, he defended himself by giving an explanation of the rules of arbitration proceedings per the Los Angeles County Bar Association (LACBA). That response was misleading. I believe that response was also meant to confuse the readers. I believe he responded as he did because he could not respond to the facts I presented. I explained in my prior review exactly how he violated the arbitration rules of the LACBA. One example is that he allowed the arbitration to move forward with only two of the three required arbitrators present. The other example I gave is that he did not give us the 3 free hours that he was supposed to give us per the rules of the LACBA arbitration proceedings. I relied on having those 3 hours when I prepared for the arbitration. He also tried to mislead by saying that arbitration is less formal than a court proceeding. That is only partially correct. While it may not be quite the same as a court proceeding, we are still supposed to be allowed to put on evidence. Also, the rules of evidence and due process still apply. I speak from experience. I have had prior experience representing a party in an arbitration proceeding. I also represented a party in a fee dispute that was mediated. Mediation is the less formal proceeding. Arbitration is more formal. He also stated that he could not get into particulars because the proceeding is confidential. It would not have been necessary for him to have made any reference to the facts or circumstances which were the subject of the arbitration proceeding. I was able to give a factual recount of the arbitration process without any reference to the underlying facts. The experience I had with Lee as lead arbitrator is similar to the experience described by Neda Y in the Yelp review posted on March 8, 2025. Neda shared that her (or his) Ex, who was self represented, crushed Lee in court proceedings because of Lee's lack of preparation. S/he shared that Lee's office was sanctioned for their lack of knowledge and preparation. And, that she was ruined after paying that firm thousands of dollars for representing her. As explained in my prior review, I lost income and work opportunities because of the time I spent preparing for that fee arbitration. Thereafter, I had to file a lawsuit and prepare for a trial de novo because of Lee's shoddy work. That loss of income almost ruined me. Of course, Lee's office defended Neda's review in the same manner as they defended mine. They stated that they could not get into particulars because of confidentiality issues. Then they gave a narrative of the general stressors involved in a standard family law dissolution matter. Then there is the Yelp review from Vat T that was posted on October 18, 2024. Vat actually filed a state bar complaint against this firm. In their Response, this firm denied that Vat was ever a client. Non clients cannot file state bar complaints. This firm spends more time defending itself than preparing for matters that they agree to take on.
