After searching for estate planning attorneys for quite a while, I found Nerisha on Yelp...and I'm…read moreso glad I did. I was helping my parents find an attorney they'd feel comfortable with, and she was exactly that. Nerisha was incredibly responsive and always made time for our questions. Her warm, understanding approach put my parents at ease, and her knowledge and approachability made a difficult process feel manageable. After years of trying to help my parents get their affairs in order, it's such a relief to finally have it done...and done in a reasonable amount of time, with a process that felt smooth every step of the way. Don't look any further. I'd recommend Nerisha to friends and family in a heartbeat.

I had a video consultation with her where she told me the process and procedures for a living trust for a single individual. She answered all my questions and made it easy to understand. Stress and confusion drastically faded as we moved closer to the finish line. It took almost 3 months to complete, but that's a real good timeframe. Especially when I'm busy with my kids, I had to find the right time to schedule our meetings. I had one consultation via zoom, two zoom meetings, then in person signing. I really like how Nerisha made the process very simple and educated me on everything that was included in the living trust package. The price was fair, if you need to get a living trust done-- do it now! Don't wait like I did because it'll only get more expensive. She's a very sweet and knowledgeable woman. I love how professional she is while being a friendly face with empathy. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends! I can't wait to receive everything in the mail and officially be done adulting!

But when I wrote back, called twice, and then emailed again- it took 5 days (including a weekend) for a response. I finally spoke with the lawyer on 4/1/25, but she told me she was going out of town for a bit and to reach out afterwards. When I reached out a few weeks later (4/18/25) inquiring about hiring SrivasLaw, no one responded as of 5/4/25. I understand being busy, but at least a quick note saying they don't have the capacity to take on new cases would be helpful. I feel like I wasted my time calling multiple times, emailing multiple times, and talking to Ms. Srivastava for her firm to ghost me in the end.

Ms. Abbass seems unaware that she works in a service capacity for the benefit of her clients. She…read moreconsistently takes a condescending, belittling tone to her clients when asked reasonable, run of the mill questions related to trust and estate planning. As an attorney with over 15 years of law firm and in house experience, I have never witnessed such unprofessionalism from an attorney. Her behavior and lack of any empathy or awareness give lawyers a bad name. She was condescending in person in 2020, when we came in to wet-sign our documents. After some abuse, we called her out on her tone and conduct, and she duly apologized. Six years later, it's disappointing to see that she has made no effort to improve her conduct over the years. We recently asked for copies of past estate documents; rather than respond with a simple and professional "I didn't retain them past X time period" her response included verbatim "I am sorry I cannot meet your deadline. I am too busy. Further, I do not appreciate messages from AI. I am too busy to decipher." Contrast this to our Colorado attorney: "It's nice to hear from you, I hope you're doing well. We do not have the signed copies of your original documents. You can click here to access unsigned copies of your documents (the password is the last 4 digits of the phone number we have on file). Please let me know if I can be of further assistance." This should tell you everything you need to know about what to expect from this office. Heed the many, many 1-star reviews.

I interviewed multiple lawyers and I initially selected Ms. Bartlett in 2021 because I felt she…read moreunderstood me as a woman and a mother. My soon to be ex was a narcissist and I needed someone to be ahead of the game and support me. When we went to court to ask for child support and other filings considered the paperwork was not filed at all and the judge couldn't rule on anything. Ms Bartlett stated it was filed but the judge again said there was nothing. After court was over I received the paperwork to sign it and have it filed properly and the date was stated for that day. I was not happy as I was not receiving any money at all and was trying to get on my feet. I switched lawyers and I believe she knew I needed someone who was more experienced with a high conflict case but when I went back to court with my new lawyers to ask for back child support they denied me months of support because it was my fault that the first lawyer dropped the ball. I was upset but my new lawyers were uplifting and encouraged me this was her mistake and request my retainer back. I did not seek it as I am finally done with the divorce but I wished I had asked more question throughout the process as ultimately this was my life and money that was on the line.

I cannot thank Lamano Law enough for the outstanding work they did on my case. After being pulled…read moreover by CHP on the freeway and charged with a DUI, I was extremely worried about my future, especially because I hold a commercial driver's license. From the very beginning, the team at Lamano Law was professional, knowledgeable, and reassuring. They handled every aspect of my case and provided excellent representation in court. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, my DUI charge was reduced to a wet reckless, which was a huge relief. I was placed on probation for two years, and once my probation was completed, Lamano Law successfully helped me get my case expunged. Most importantly, they helped protect my commercial driving license, which allowed me to continue working and supporting myself. Their dedication, communication, and results exceeded my expectations. If you are facing DUI charges and need a law firm that truly fights for its clients, I highly recommend Lamano Law. They made a difficult situation much more manageable and achieved an outcome I am incredibly grateful for.

I worked with Arlene a few years ago when my custody case first began. At the beginning, I felt…read morevery confident hiring her. I believed there was significant evidence supporting my position, and based on our initial conversations, I expected aggressive and effective representation. Unfortunately, my experience was very different. I drained my savings and accumulated credit card debt paying legal fees, but I was extremely disappointed with the representation I received. I understand now, after years of dealing with custody court, that obtaining anything other than 50/50 custody can be extremely difficult. My issue is not simply that I didn't receive the outcome I wanted. My issue is that the representation I experienced did not match the expectations I felt had been set when I hired her. I was particularly disappointed by her professionalism and preparation during the Zoom court appearance I attended with her. After spending a significant amount of money, I was ultimately told that I should essentially accept the 50/50 arrangement. I ended the attorney-client relationship after only one court date, having accumulated debt that took me years to recover from. That experience made me extremely hesitant to hire another family-law attorney. I eventually did so for a more recent custody matter, and the difference has been night and day. My current attorney is equally, if not more, expensive, but I feel informed, represented, and that meaningful work is being done on my case. That comparison is ultimately what prompted me to come back and write this review. Family-law cases are already emotionally and financially exhausting. Based solely on my own experience, I would not hire Arlene again. What was most upsetting was that I believed I understood the strategy and what she intended to fight for when I retained her. It was only after our court appearance went badly that her position seemed to completely change, and I was suddenly being told I should simply accept 50/50. Had that been the advice and expectation communicated to me from the beginning, I would not have spent the amount of money I did pursuing the case with her.

With more than 40 years in the field, her depth of knowledge is extraordinary, and her hourly rate represents tremendous value for the level of expertise she delivers. If you want seasoned, steady, and highly skilled representation, Arlene Kock is outstanding. Simply the best!
