Kevin McConnell was my attorney in my most recent case. I have a very extensive criminal history,…read moreso of course I was in fear of being railroaded by the court system. While in custody, being represented by Kevin was very comforting. He came to see me and instantly made me feel at ease. In the courtroom he is a beast. Very professional and knowledgable. Fights for you harder than a gladiator at war. He always updated me with details and would go far and beyond the call of duty. I had three prison terms in the past so I thought for sure I was going to get an extensive amount of time. He did a very good job with my case. I ended up with the BEST possible outcome, I was amazed. He has a good relationship and rapport with the District attorney and the judges and makes sense of everything for them. Even more recently he handled the rest of my case due to it being prop 47 eligible, attended the hearing without me being present, handled it like a champ and I was released from the drug program early and was so happy I had to give him a Yelp review. Kevin does not tell you things you want to hear. He does not sugar coat things. He is very honest and gives you very good advice. I will continue to use him as my attorney as I trust his ability to get me the best outcome of any situation I face in the legal system. Thank you Kevin for your hard work. You made me a free man today!!!

One star (too bad there aren't negative stars lol!). I deeply regret hiring this attorney…read more I retained him for an extremely high-stakes domestic violence and child-custody matter, where the consequences could not have been more serious. I expected an attorney who would be prepared, assertive, and able to challenge material misrepresentations made by the opposing party. That was not my experience at the hearing. Not even close, it was pathetic. I watched significant factual issues and misrepresentations go inadequately challenged while the case moved toward an outcome with devastating consequences for me and my children. I had to email real-time corrections to them based on evidence already provided, but Counsel did not even look at the factual corrections as cited in my initial documentation until after the hearing, despite the fact that I called their office to flag it. I understand that no attorney can guarantee a particular result, and I am not criticizing him simply because I lost. My criticism is about the quality of representation I felt I received when it mattered most. I did not feel that the evidence, inconsistencies, or inaccuracies central to my case were presented and challenged with anything close to the force, clarity, or preparation that the circumstances demanded. I honestly could have represented myself better... This was the type of hearing where an attorney needed to know the record cold, react quickly when facts were misstated, protect the client's position, and make sure the judge had an accurate picture before making life-altering custody decisions. I left the hearing feeling profoundly underrepresented. I hired counsel precisely because I knew the stakes were too high to navigate alone. Instead, I walked away wishing I had chosen different representation from the beginning. I terminated the attorney-client relationship immediately after the hearing. If you are a white male, definitely hire him. If not, do NOT! Anyone considering this attorney for a contested DVRO or custody matter should ask very detailed questions about how they prepare for evidentiary hearings (they do not lol), how aggressively they address inaccurate testimony, how they plan to present conflicting evidence, and exactly what advocacy you can expect in the courtroom. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend him.

Mr. Francis is an honest attorney with a lot of integrity…read more He will work hard for your case. I have used him for child custody and support matters on more than one occasion. Both times were long cases with multiple hearings. He is experienced and has been working in the same area of law enough to know the judges, counselors and other professionals in the area. This will help you since he may know how they will decide. He truly wants to help. He is not in it for the money. He does not have a huge office staff with a lot of overhead. He doesn't take on a huge caseload to generate more revenue. He keeps it simple so that he can focus on your case and be an effective attorney for you. He has always been very responsive when I needed him. In my experience, he can read through lies and extract the truth. This will work well if your ex is dishonest or not forthcoming. He aggressively strives for truth. He doesn't put up with BS and can quickly cut through it. He also has been doing this for a long time so don't call him for free legal advice. Instead, check out his website. It has a lot of really useful info that helped me a lot prior to actually calling him. Probably one of the best websites out there for family law. https://www.wallacefrancis.com/ Many attorneys prolong the case or tell you what you want to hear so that they can keep fighting and keep billing you. This is not the case with Mr. Francis. If you are lucky enough to get him as your attorney, you will not regret it.

Roy Johnston was excellent in helping us put together a family trust…read more He took us through the somewhat tedious process step by step in such a way that it did not feel tedious. He broke up the process into measurable tasks, and guided us through each step with consummate professionalism, aplomb, and humor. We felt like our financial issues were in the hands of someone who was not only an eminently capable attorney but also someone who genuinely cared about his clients and the quality of his work. His support staff was similarly capable, helpful and relational. My wife and I give Roy and the Law offices of Johnston Thomas the highest recommendation for this kind of legal work.

Ryan, I only just noticed your response to my review. Three years may have passed, but the passage…read moreof time does not make the facts any less relevant. You claim that my review is "neither fair nor accurate," yet you do not identify a single statement that is supposedly false. Saying that professional rules prevent you from discussing details is convenient, but it does not explain why your firm failed to appear at my scheduled court hearing, leaving me dangerously close to having a default judgment entered against me. Only after I found another attorney were we able to appear at the last possible moment and protect my case. I was never given a refund only an apology after my case had nearly been seriously compromised.That was not merely a "bad experience," and it certainly was not the "amazing experience" your response advertises. It was a serious professional failure involving a client's legal rights and future. I have no interest in calling your office for a private conversation years later. You had every opportunity to communicate with me properly when I was your client and when it actually mattered. A generic denial followed by a marketing slogan does nothing to address what actually happened. My review remains relevant, and I stand by it.
