Scott Levin guided my spouse and I through a genuinely difficult and drawn-out divorce mediation…read more There were many moments where resolution didn't seem to be viable, yet Scott stayed patient and steady through every delay and setback. His experience and knowledge of family law is invaluable. He truly is a peacekeeper! One of the things that stood out most was his ability to read the room and adjust his approach as needed. Early on, he kept things low-key and gave both sides space to stay comfortable continuing in the process. His creativity when working on dividing assets and liabilities made an incredibly stressful situation less so. As we got closer to the finish line, he was very proactive in helping us reach an agreement. That kind of judgment, knowing when to hang back and when to step in, is a valuable skill in mediation. If you're dealing with a complicated or emotionally charged divorce, I can't recommend Scott highly enough. He got us to a fair resolution when it genuinely felt uncertain at times, and he did it with professionalism and skill throughout.

Ugh a divorce! But, Scott made it way less ugly and…read moreactually listened to me. He made this God awful situation less stressful without triggering anything!

I needed to have a prenup done, which seemed like a daunting task. The law makes both parties get…read moretheir own independent attorney in order for the Prenup not to get thrown out. To make matters more complicated, I was bringing my fiancé here from Latin America so the prenup had to be translated into Spanish to make it valid. My past run in with many attorneys had left a bad taste in my mouth since I had never found one that wasn't just interested in lining their pockets at the expense of the client. I also have to admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I spent a lot of time calling most of the family law attorneys in the Cbad and Oside areas, and sat down with five of them. I finally settled on the Carnohans. I am extremely happy with the results. Without going into long details, I would like to fully endorse the Carnohans for a job well done. Some of their good qualities are: 1. They always answer the phone/email and respond quickly 2. Joe is fluent in Spanish 3. If you're an experienced person like me who wants things done a certain way, they can advise you and work with you. On the other hand, if you have little experience with legal stuff, they can hold your hand as well. 4. Joe has a reputation of being straight up, reasonable and honest, so that other legal professionals will act professional with him. Remember, even if you win, most of your money will be eaten up if your attorney has to battle hard or worse yet, collaborates with the other side to shake you down for loose change. Best to get an attorney that is honest and works for YOUR best interest. 5. The Carnohans make the complicated simple... whereas most attorneys seem to take something simple and blow it up into something complicated. 6. Most importantly... Joe and Michele are human. They care. Having been married forever with like 5 children, they answer to a higher value system than money, and it shows. They're good down-to-earth people. 7. Joe surfs quite a bit. Ask him about the waves ;) If you are looking for the best family law or estate planning attorney... I've already put a ton of time into doing the research for you. Here's the DL. Go with the Carnohans. They'll treat you right. Just sayin... I'm amazed!

Based on good internet reviews, I wanted to hire Samin to help me with my divorce, but she wasn't…read moretaking new clients. So I worked with her colleague, Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided great service and information in a timely, professional manner. At some point, she announced she was leaving the practice, for reasons I don't know. So I was transferred to Samin. Samin and I met over zoom a few times. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Then we decided that mediation wasn't working and I needed to take my husband to divorce trial. So I hired her to represent me instead of on a consultation basis. That's when things started going wrong. Over the next few months, it became harder to get in touch with her. Email responses would take 3-4 business days. Her paralegal was helping me put together forms to file (FL-150) but edits back and forth would take days to come back for my review, wheras I made sure I always returned my part within 1 business day to them. It took 2 1/2 months for her firm to complete the form and file it!!! All the while I was losing out on having the form filed for the purpose of retro spousal support. More than once when they returned the forms for my review there were errors, some glaring, which required more time on my part, more emails back and forth and -yup- more time billed to me. So one day I called the office to express my anger and frustration at the process and asked for a call back so we could talk live instead of email. I never got a call back!! Four business days later I got a stern email. Never was there an explanation or apology for why I couldn't get them to speed up or attend to my case. At one point, Samin told me it was my fault for changing my mind (for 24 hours) and telling her that I thought I might try mediation again instead of court, but then told her never mind and to proceed. Divorce is messy-it is normal to have doubts and 2nd thoughts. Instead of telling me that it's MY fault that the process is taking so long, maybe guide me through the pros and cons of each option and have a little sympathy. Plus, that mixed message only accounted for 2 business days. Not the 2 1/2 months that it took to get that form finished. After feeling ignored, underserved, overwhelmed and uncared for, I finally pulled the trigger and let Samin go. I hired Honorable Legal Services-DeAnn Salcido, who has been phenomenal. Attentive at every step, incredibly informative, educational. She gives me notes, articles with highlights an annotations for me to read. She explains my options clearly. She responds in 1-2 days every time. We've done multiple zoom calls. And her office has a marvelous online system that organizes my files, forms, correspondence and upcoming dates in a way that is clear to both of us. AND she costs LESS than Samin! If I had had DeAnn from the start instead of Elizabeth and Samin, this process would have gone a LOT smoother and faster.

He told me it should run me between $5000 and $10,000 Maximum. After a few months, his paralegal told me I needed to hire another attorney to draw up the DRO for the division of my brokerage account, pension, etc. I had to spend another $3600 to retain an attorney who "wrote the book on DRO's." Had I known Mr. Johnson or his staff weren't capable of drafting a simple DRO, I might not have retained him. The attorney he referred me to would seldom return my phone calls or phone calls to Mr. Johnson's office. Her incompetence cost me another few thousand dollars in attorney fees and drew out a simple divorce to lasting over a year and a half. My total legal fees between Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Elizabeth Van Clief amounted to over $17,000 and months of delays and frustrations. One thing I will sat us Mr. Johnson's office staff and paralegals were outstanding.
