The worst experience ever with an attorney. The first two…read moretimes that I had court attorney Wilber Salgado didn't show up in court and sent a subsitute (that did nothing for my case), instead of working on my case Mr. Patena was more busy talking about Trump with the attorney of my ex-husband at the end of the hearing. Third time Wilber finally show up (more than 30 min late), cuz he was so busy with his other client over the phone. I told him that I want it representation for the child case only (I would manage the child support case myself) because at the time I didn't have 1200 extra to pay him, on top of the $4500 that I payed to retain him (for doing absolutely nothing on my case) and just like that he dismissed my case. Sooooo unprofessional. And send me a letter saying that he no longer represent me. I barely spoke to him, twice over the phone. Communication is always with the secretary or the paralegal. If you guys are looking for custody cases make yourself a favor and dont hire Wilber Salgado for those matters. I think he take too many cases at the time and go with the one that give him more money and put no effort in your case if that means less money for him. I was promised that my daughter will come to court to be interrogated and for a period of 7 months that never happened. We only went to court to waste the $4500 credit I had for hiring Wilber but no advance on my case whatsoever. I also speak Spanish, so Wilber insists on speaking Spanish to me as if I couldn't speak English and he was translating to me (which I speak perfectly). I want to speak English only to make clear that I understand the language perfectly so this attorney dont try "bs" more; thinking that I couldn't speak English. I went to college for Political Science so I understand English more than enough.

I had the opportunity to work with Mr. Salgado and his team for a few court hearings in San Joaquin…read moreCounty and Santa Clara County. The first court hearing was to transfer a child custody order from Santa Clara County to San Joaquin County. Mr. Salgado represented me and demonstrated a high level of expertise and attention to detail. Normally these types of cases can be challenging, but he was diligent and showcased his experience and skills. Mr. Salgado was able to get Santa Clara County to grant the child custody transfer to the county where I live now. The second court hearing was for a temporary restraining order. I am forever grateful that Mr. Salgado represented me in this court hearing. The person the restraining order was against was my son's father who was physically, mentally and verbally abusive. I can't thank Mr. Selgado and his team for their time and their attention. I moved to a new area and didn't have family, but I had a valuable attorney and law firm on my side that I can't thank enough. The last court hearing was the child custody hearing. I have the final hearing next week, but again, I'm extremely thankful for Mr. Salgado and his law firm. I would not have made it through the last few years without them. They've been an extreme help getting through stressful times. Overall my experience with Mr. Salgado and his team was positive, highly professional, efficient, and would recommend their services to others seeking legal representation in this area.

He did give me realistic expectations, even when it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but he delivered exactly what he promised (and more), he got me more than I even thought was possible. His bluntness made me check myself, and that's what I needed. Whenever I found myself caught up in the drama my ex creates, Mr. Levatino always brought me back to what is really important- my child. At the end of the day, I feel that my child has a fair custody arrangement with both me and her father. Mr. Levatino is definitely not an attorney who is going to take your retainer and give you false hopes and leave you disappointed.

If you're vulnerable, overwhelmed, or looking for real support -- look elsewhere…read more Curtis Legal Group handled my case after I was rear-ended by a drunk driver who fled the scene. What should've been a clear, aggressive pursuit of justice turned into one of the most exhausting and disheartening experiences I've ever had with a professional service. They lowballed me from the start -- initially offering me $1,000-$2,000, knowing I was struggling, desperate, and scared. I pushed back and begged them to at least try to get me $5,000-$6,000 -- not because that was fair, but because that's the bare minimum I needed to survive at the time. Eventually, they gave me $5,000 and I thanked them, not because I felt satisfied, but because I was trying to stay polite and hopeful. I was worn down. They took advantage of that. That should've been a red flag to any law firm that cared: when a client is asking for the lowest possible amount just to survive, that's not a negotiation win -- that's a failure of representation. They didn't fight for me. They didn't keep me informed. They didn't explain the process or walk beside me like they promise on their ads. And when I've tried to revisit the way my case was handled -- not even asking for money -- just for acknowledgment -- they ignore it or delete my comments. I lost my car. I lost peace of mind. I lost trust in a system that's supposed to help victims -- and Curtis Legal Group played a big part in that. Be careful who you let speak for you. They might not say much when it matters most.

I hired Mr. Hogan for my family law matter expecting professional guidance, communication, and…read morestrong representation during a very stressful time. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. After paying a $2,000 fee, I felt that very little work was completed compared to what I expected from an attorney handling an important legal matter. The majority of the work I observed consisted of limited communication with the opposing attorney, one phone call with me, and preparation of draft copies of FL-300 and FL-950 forms. I did not feel that my concerns were properly addressed, my instructions were not followed, and I did not receive the level of attention, communication, or support that I believe a client should receive when paying for legal services. When I attempted to communicate my concerns, I felt that the response was unprofessional and dismissive. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering hiring Mr. Hogan to carefully evaluate whether his communication style, level of involvement, and approach match their expectations. Family law matters are already difficult and stressful, and clients need an attorney who is responsive, respectful, and actively involved in their case. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received that level of service. If I could give a zero-star review, I would. Unfortunately, my overall experience did not meet the expectations I had when hiring an attorney. I believe clients deserve an attorney who provides clear communication, professionalism, and meaningful effort toward their case, and based on my experience, I did not feel that I received the level of service I paid for.

Also, when there is honesty laid out from the beginning then you can really see the value in his services. I definitely would recommend him even if you at least get a consultation with him. You want in any real life case that has to do with important matters like family to have a seasoned and respected attorney by his own fellow attorney community to be able to be taken seriously in court. I was moved by his humanity.
