When I first reached out about hiring a traffic lawyer, he took the time to explain the process clearly and set realistic expectations. I paid the fine upfront per San Mateo county process for him to handle scheduling the court date. He then represented me and successfully had the ticket dismissed. Within approximately 45 to 60 days after the dismissal, I received a full refund from the courthouse. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Stephen was professional, transparent, responsive, and effective throughout the entire process. I would gladly retain his services again if needed and highly recommend him to anyone seeking assistance with a traffic matter.

I'm really not certain I would recommend their services even though…read moreMike Mengarelli did get a settlement offer in the end through mediation. I didn't always feel that he had my best interest at hand nor did he listen to my case properly. There were times during the case his advise on specific situations I feel hurt my case even when my concerns were in writing. Possibly because it was a relatively small case which is why I felt less heard I didn't feel completely protected against the other side. I was not clearly given a mediation agreement before going to mediation despite being out of country and calling out my issues with this. Although I address my concerns to him I was not given final say,he nor the mediator actually consulted me during the final offer number which he accepted on my behalf. The amount was less than the bottom line number given to him before mediation. Not wanting to alert the other side to our break down in our relationship I was left to take the less than stellar offer amount which more than half was eaten in fees. I don't feel he makes too much of a attempt to uphold the settlement agreement after he has been paid. Nor did I find my billing was updated and disclosed on a timely basis explaining all fees.

I was contacted by this attorney after being referred through a State Bar referral service…read more Initially, the voicemail and introduction were professional and gave me a positive first impression. Unfortunately, the call quickly went downhill. Very early on, the attorney claimed to already understand my case without asking several key questions that would reasonably be expected in a family law consultation. When I attempted to clarify or provide context, the conversation turned into what felt more like a lecture than a consultation. Comments such as "whoa," "pump the brakes," and repeated interruptions made it difficult to get a word in. The tone became increasingly dismissive, with statements like "no, no, no -- this is this type of case," despite limited fact-gathering. I ultimately let him speak uninterrupted, at which point the conversation abruptly shifted to billing. I was told the case would require a $12,000 fee, framed as reasonable because "it's not $10k and other firms charge $15k." There was no clear explanation of scope, strategy, or why that number made sense for my situation -- just a comparison to higher numbers elsewhere. I then raised reasonable concerns about publicly available information: mixed reviews, limited time practicing in California, and lack of specialization in the specific area of law I was seeking help with. I asked how he would address those concerns and explain why hiring him would make sense. The response was dismissive, characterizing negative reviews as coming from "a few angry or upset people," followed by the comment that this was not "shit on Nick day." At that point, I ended the conversation and thanked him for his time. Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and overly familiar in tone, rather than client-centered or consultative. If this is how communication is handled with potential clients, I would be concerned about professionalism in higher-stakes settings. Zero stars if that were an option. I would also caution others that a State Bar referral does not appear to vet for professionalism or communication style. Only licensure I suppose.

I paid an exorbitant fee for a family law consultation expecting legal insight, guidance, and at…read moreleast some willingness to discuss potential options. Instead, I left feeling like I had paid hundreds of dollars simply to be told that nothing could be done unless I retained the firm. I presented evidence of financial abuse and explained the circumstances surrounding my case, hoping for meaningful advice or direction. Rather than receiving any substantive assistance, I was met with what felt like indifference and a sales pitch for additional legal fees. The message was clear: unless I was prepared to spend even more money, my concerns were not worth addressing. I understand that attorneys are not obligated to represent every client, but charging premium consultation rates while offering virtually no practical guidance is difficult to justify. What made the experience particularly disappointing was the complete lack of empathy. Family law clients are often facing some of the most stressful and financially devastating situations of their lives. A little compassion and professionalism would go a long way. This consultation felt less like a legal service and more like an expensive screening process designed to determine whether additional fees could be collected. I left feeling dismissed, frustrated, and no closer to understanding my legal options than when I arrived. I would strongly encourage anyone considering this firm to ask exactly what they will receive during a paid consultation before spending their money. My experience was that the cost far exceeded the value provided. Better yet just ask CHATGPT yourself save your money.

This firm does not care about their client and here is my story. I chose FKKB because of their…read morewebsite touting their ability to handle high asset and complex divorce matters. My Husband and I had a start-up, formed in 2012, initially headquartered in Walnut Creek, CA. In Fall of 2014, my husband moved our HQ to Denver, CO. With teenagers and aging parents in CA, I had to fly back and forth, while my husband stayed in Denver. Our Company was our ONLY ASSET. In December of 2016, our company received a valuation of $4 billion. I filed for divorce in February 2017 due to a health issue caused by the toll of having to fly back and forth all the time. When I filed, I worked with another firm. But, by June of 2017, I realized that first attorney was out of his depth. Within 4 months of filing, I then switched to FKKB based on my internet search. My husband was an MBA JD, but never practiced law. I told FKKB that he was smart and that they needed to get a jump on him. As soon as I filed, I was fired from our company, which was standard. Instead of a good salary for part-time work, now, I received unemployment in the amount of $2400/mo. With the first Attny my initial spousal support award was $8500/mo, based on my husband's salary of $28,000/month. The Spousal Support order was not 'permanent', but could be modified. Within 6 months of hiring FKKB, my husband permanently stopped paying any spousal support at all, forcing me to move again for the second time since filing. Could FKKB see the error in the support order and move to make it 'permanent'. Nope. During the course of their representation, when FKKB finally requested financial documents from our company in Denver (the only asset we had), we received a letter from Denver counsel that we had no jurisdiction, there. FKKB failed by not immediately getting local Denver Co-Counsel. So the complexity, in part, required action in Denver, which FKKB never asserted. If they are 'sophisticated', they should have anticipated a jurisdictional issue. For the next two years, through a series of strategic maneuvers, my husband outplayed FKKB and dumped our company into the bankruptcy court in April of 2019, just so I would get nothing. He continues to work, but now has a newly formed company, of which I am not a part. That was the objective. I told FKKB what he would do. I was married to him for 17 years. I knew his M.O. In the end, I got nothing. Even the $250,000 in spousal support arrears were erased, because they were not made permanent. Though I am not sure a 'permanent' order would have solidified the arrears, I think it would have been harder to erase them, especially since he never filed anything to reduce them. I spent all I had on these attorneys, which might not seem like a lot of money, but with no support, I spent $165,000 in fees to FKKB. I ran out of money in December of 2018. In my last meeting with FKKB, Partner Rolf Kruger said to me that my husband was the worst guy he'd ever seen, and that if I wanted to get my millions, I should just write a book. So my husband, who is not certified in family law, and never practiced law, was much more sophisticated in a divorce matter than FKKB. My husband out-maneuvered FKKB. So what does 'Complex' mean on their website? To me, 'complex' means, 'no matter where the money is hidden, even internationally, we'll find it and get it.' How good were they? What did I get for $165,000? Not one thing. At 60, I returned to the job market just to pay my bills. In June of 2020 I had to represent myself in an in-person, 8-hour divorce trial. I phoned FKKB to ask if they would please read my trial brief, which I had written, and I would pay them for their time. I spoke to Rolf Kruger. He said, "No, we're done with this matter". Nice. I would never recommend this firm. They only cared about earning fees, and never took my best interest to heart . As a client, I am smart, respectful, and deferential. I am not unstable. I don't take any prescription drugs. I was not bothersome to them, except that even I could see how inadequate their representation was, especially with regard to Colorado, and tried to convey the urgency. My warnings fell on deaf ears, and my worst fears were realized.
