This is my first review on online in my life. If you read this review, you have the most…read moremiserable/endurable time. You feel like you lost your way. I am sorry. Before Kathleen, I had hired 17 years' experience (native English) lawyer, and the divorce process and life had been getting messed up. I was not sure if I had extreme stress because of divorce, lawyer, ex-spouse or me. I lost my control after 6-7 months later and decided to change the lawyer to Kathleen Dong who my friend of friends (they are lawyers too in the different subject) recommended. After that, I was able to breath and focus on my job and life. I let Kathleen led me to close the case. Kathleen stopped me what I wanted(desired) based on the current law. however, she was very flexible to decide to get the deal, effectively leverage timing, gave me advice in impacted short words and considered what I needed for my life after the divorce while she processed my divorce cases. She had not hesitated to respond to protect me and prevent any indirect insult from my spouse's lawyer. I felt comfortable to trust her. I am not sure that Kathleen is a good lawyer or right lawyer to others, but she is good to me. And, it is a true that Kathleen and her team help/support me to close the divorce within 3months after she accepted my case. Thanks again.

Divorce is never easy, but my case was especially difficult with delays and complications. Without…read moreKathleen K. Dong and her team, I don't think I could have brought it to a close. From start to finish, Kathleen provided expert legal guidance, but also genuine care and empathy. She took the time to listen, ensured I felt heard, and treated me as a person, not just a client. Even when the process felt overwhelming, her steady support gave me the courage to persevere through the toughest moments. Her legal expertise, combined with her thoughtful guidance, made a difficult process more manageable. Thanks to her dedication, we were finally able to resolve the case. If you're facing a challenging legal journey, I highly recommend the Law Office of Kathleen K. Dong--they don't just represent you, they truly stand beside you with compassion and professionalism.

I'm not sure how they are getting 5 star ratings, but it definitely fooled me when I hired them…read moreback in May of last year. Let me be clear, the negative reviews seem much more realistic as I experienced identical stuff with them. Long story short, they did nothing for me after I took them as representation and made payment. When I mean nothing, I mean literally anything outside of filing normal paperwork, they simply didn't do. Want a suggestion? Get ready to pay them thousands for a quick meeting. Writing an email to them? Better hope they don't need to go to the bathroom in between because you will pay for that time. Another reviewer states it perfectly : "there team was working on my case, which means everyone needed to be aware of the status, and I was paying each of them". This times a million is so accurate!! Every month I would get a new bill with charges I couldn't make sense of, and half of those charges were one team member discussing with another about my case... like seriously?? In the end, I think I payed close to $15k for the 8 months I had them!! 15k!! And mind you, we never went to court or anything. It was literally just email replies and filing paperwork. I told them from the beginning I was trying to be conservative with funds and wanted to end this asap, and they asked for a $4k retainer acting like that would be all I need. They weren't upfront about future costs or options I could make. How in world did I have to replenish another $11k in addition is beyond me. Straight up scammed by thieves. **edit : one thing I wanted to clarify, their rates look somewhat reasonable, well at least for Palo Alto region standards.. hence why I was suckered. But it's not the rate that's the issue per se, rather, it's how they charge you each month based off these rates (see above note on how they charge discussions between team members). My previous lawyer (worst move ever leaving them for this one) charged me 1/4th of what they did, and we actually went to court. This firm will make you suffer with endless costs and charge you thousands each month when there is NO movement in your case.

Earlier this year I found myself in a very unfamiliar place knowing I needed to file for a divorce,…read morebut had not idea where to even start because I knew it was going to be an uphill battle and a very difficult process. I got to speak with one of the senior attorneys and he took the time to answer questions I had and gave me an idea of the process for a divorce. The next day I payed my retainer fees and within days after that I heard back from the attorney that was taking my case. I decided to hire an attorney to help guide me through this process because I new it was not going to be easy and there were kids and property involved. I wanted to go into this process knowing I had someone looking out for my best interest and someone with the experience and knowledge. The attorney that took my case took the time to get to know my situation, my needs and what I wanted out of this divorce. They address my concerns and put me at ease. They also made me feel like they actually cared to help me and that I wasn't just another case they had. I liked that I was constantly updated on the case and when I would call to speak to my attorney she would make time for me and take my call or I would get call back shortly after. Law Office of Steve Dinneen has a very knowledgeable, professional and efficient team. They made this difficult process as smooth as possible. I felt heard and cared for. I have and will continue to recommended them to friends because I know they will be in good hands. I just want to say Thank You for everything and I'm very grateful to have worked with Steve Dinneen and his team.

From the moment I engaged their services, they provided unwavering support, strategic clarity, and the kind of steadiness that becomes indispensable in a legal battle of this magnitude. Steven's strategic foresight and long-term planning were pivotal--he consistently anticipated challenges before they arose, and always charted a clear, realistic path forward grounded in deep, practical legal experience. Faune, his partner, brought a level of precision and diligence that elevated every aspect of the case. Her meticulous attention to detail ensured that nothing slipped through the cracks, even as the case expanded across family court, civil court, child protective services, DCSS, the district attorney's office, the police, and criminal court. Their complementary strengths--Steven's big-picture strategy and Faune's exacting execution--made them a formidable legal team that remained composed, knowledgeable, and pragmatic no matter how complex or chaotic the circumstances became. The result of their extraordinary efforts is something beyond what any legal outcome could represent: they helped preserve my relationship with my children in the face of a relentless five-year campaign intended to sever it. I will never forget what they've done for me and my family. Their commitment, intelligence, and tenacity quite literally changed the course of my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

When I first reached out, I was in a fragile state navigating a divorce involving domestic violence. Even though he wasn't able to take my case, he generously offered a free consultation where he not only helped validate my overall approach, but also showed genuine compassion and understanding. What stood out was his willingness to go a step further--he helped me sanity-check the lawyer I was planning to hire, which gave me much-needed confidence in my next steps. Six months later, when I found myself struggling with a lack of responsiveness from my attorney and growing concerned about delays, I reached out again to see possible options and if switching lawyer would be necessary. Once again, he was incredibly generous with his time. He didn't just listen--he provided clear, practical strategies that helped me re-engage my lawyer effectively. As a result, my case moved forward and was ultimately resolved within two months. One time, I was so stuck, Angelo called me immediately when he saw my message without any charges. I also really appreciated how thoughtful and efficient he was in preparing for the consultations. The information he requested ahead of time ensured that our conversations were focused and made the best possible use of investment made. His professionalism, empathy, and willingness to help--even without taking on the case--truly set him apart. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate family law attorney.
