    Had an appointment for a prenuptial agreement and they never called me. Emailed them to say they…read moremissed the appointment and no one returned my email.

    I don't often leave reviews (and this is my first non-restaurant review) but a 5 star review is…read morewell-deserved here. For some context, I stumbled across Ben after seeing a reddit post recommending prenup lawyers in CA and ended up hiring Ben to draft a prenup. He was fantastic and all his positive reviews are well-deserved - from the beginning, he was fantastic, patient, answered my questions clearly with excellent reasoning, responsive, and was a great person to interact with. I also wanted to add that I'm a lawyer myself, so have some extra insights which might help anyone reading this review - these will also indirectly address the two sole negative yelp reviews I saw. In my opinion, it can be really hard for regular people to find a great lawyer at an affordable price, and Ben is definitely that. My experience with Ben was that he really knew his stuff - I was doing my own separate research and reading relevant statutes/case law, plus carefully reviewing the contract of course, and everything he said was spot on. Unfortunately, you won't get that level of quality legal knowledge with every lawyer out there - and if you have a nuanced situation, random internet research won't be as helpful as a great lawyer who spends time researching and analyzing your specific situation. This leads me to another point: Ben struck me as the kind of lawyer who is willing to tell you things that you may not want to hear, and that is exactly the kind of lawyer you want. In my opinion, there are some lawyers out there that will tell their clients things to get more money, for example by leading their clients to believe they have a better case than they actually do to get more legal fees. My impression of Ben is that he's not like that, and that's why I have and will continue to recommend him to any of my friends that want a prenup or any of the services he offers (in fact, one friend also hired him for drafting their prenup as well). All in all, I don't think you'll go wrong in hiring Ben and hope that this review helps out others who read it.

I was seriously bit by my neighbor's dog in their home and they refused to give me their homeowners insurance information to pay my medical expenses, so I called the Dog Bite Law Group and signed with them. Good thing I did. They handled everything and got me a very fair settlement - if you or anyone you know has been injured by a dog don't hesitate to contact them and they will help you out.

I was…read morea client with Montevideo for three months and the experience was eye-opening in the worst way. First, they love bomb you to get you to sign with them. After you do, they will never again reach out proactively. I initiated every communication and was frequently ignored. Their go-to line is that if you don't hear from them it's because they are busy working on your behalf. This false message is meant to make you stay quiet. Despite my requests to speak with a paralegal or attorney, I never did. All communication was routed through an intake manager, which is a way for them to avoid accountability for the false and misleading information they give you. I received inconsistent and often contradictory information -- particularly around the communication with the insurance company. It became clear over time that the goal was to make me feel like my case had little value so I would be relieved to accept whatever low offer they put in front of me. They drag the process out, prioritizing quantity of cases over quality of representation. Months pass with little communication, bills pile up, and you grow exhausted and desperate. By the time an offer comes, you have been worn down to the point where you will accept whatever they "negotiate". They will not take your case to court -- that takes time and effort that does not fit their model. They told me that if I wanted to pursue a lawsuit with another firm then I should expect to pay upfront for representation. This is false. Personal injury attorneys work on contingency. That statement was either ignorant or intentionally misleading. I fired this firm. If you are hurt and want someone to preserve your rights and best interest, look elsewhere. Hire an attorney who is honest and willing to fight for you.

After getting more details, he has given me a no-nonsense legal advice that has literally taken the big weight off my shoulder. He was very thorough, straight-forward, and very sincere in his desire to help even though I am not yet a client. I will totally recommend him to everyone. If you're not sure about your situation, whether you have a case or not, this lawyer is the person to call. "Better call John!" -Maria (Irvine, CA)

    I had a difficult long-term support case which Boyd Law, and especially Matthew Cadwell, did a…read morefantastic job of helping me bring to a close. This firm is professional and flexible and focused on outcomes. They are not the cheapest, but ask yourself, do I want this resolved? If that's your true aim, hire them. Mine was a long a painful road due to the opposing party and their lack of response, but Boyd was there consistently. Mr. Cadwell did an AMAZING job in court and had no issues going toe-to-toe with the Sacramento judge on the applicable law, the previous orders and the merits of the current case to ultimately prevail. His experience in court was masterful and a sight I won't forget. He and his team worked to get this done.

    I hired Boyd Law for a single Request for Order regarding my adult daughter's support arrears and…read moreattorney's fees. The total bill came to approximately $18,000. At the hearing where I appeared alone, because I could no longer afford to keep paying for representation, the judge described that amount as the most outrageous fee she had ever heard for a single RFO, and awarded me $0 in fees. She embarrassed and humiliated me by speaking about it over and over again. After the hearing, I raised these concerns directly with the firm. Matthew Cadwell reviewed the billing and told me the time spent was in line with what he'd seen in other matters, but acknowledged there was some time they could credit back. He offered a $500 courtesy credit, which I accepted. That was over a week ago. I've heard nothing since, and the credit was never processed. I also want to note that it was my attorney at the firm who told me, partway through this case, that I should go forward on my own rather than continue paying, since their continued involvement wouldn't necessarily change the outcome and he could not guarantee attorney's fees would be recovered. So when Matthew later suggested the result might have been different if the firm had been present at the hearing, that was hard to hear relative to what I had already been told by my attorney. For five months, my ex-husband contributed nothing toward our daughter's support. I paid this firm roughly $18,000 to get one court order, for which he still hasn't complied with the payment schedule on time, and hasn't complied with a second order to disclose trust information either. I liquidated retirement funds, incurred tax penalties, and took on credit card debt to cover the gap in the meantime. this entire experience has been nothing short of awful, and yet I believe I was doing the only thing available to me since nothing else I tried had worked. I can't recommend this firm due to all that has transpired. I am left feeling angry, disappointed, and embarrassed by all that transpired.
