With Gratitude to Lisa Radcliffe…read more I had a consultation scheduled with another attorney when an attorney friend recommended that I reach out to Lisa Radcliffe--and I'm certainly glad I did. Lisa is a top-notch attorney. She answered many of my questions thoroughly, was extremely knowledgeable and personable, and her fees were very reasonable. What impressed me most, however, was her perspective. Lisa emphasized the importance of keeping a divorce as amicable as possible and, where circumstances allow, avoiding an unnecessary legal battle that can quickly deplete a family's financial resources. More importantly, she never lost sight of the potential emotional toll that prolonged conflict and hostility can have on children. Lisa was a breath of fresh air. She struck me as a different kind of attorney--someone who combines legal knowledge and practical advice with genuine care, compassion, and an understanding of the human consequences of divorce. Those qualities can be difficult to find in an often adversarial legal landscape, and I am very grateful that I was referred to her. With gratitude to Lisa Radcliffe.

From the very beginning, Lisa demonstrated an extraordinary combination of legal expertise, strategic thinking, and genuine care for her clients. Lisa is the kind of attorney you want when everything is on the line. She is meticulous in her preparation, masterful in the courtroom, and always two steps ahead in anticipating the other side's moves. Throughout my case, she protected my rights with unwavering focus and ensured that the facts and evidence were presented clearly and effectively. What impressed me most was how balanced she is -- both fierce and steady, assertive and thoughtful. She never overpromised, but she consistently overdelivered. I always felt informed, supported, and confident in the direction of the case thanks to her clear communication and honest guidance. Divorce is never easy, but having a lawyer like Lisa makes all the difference. I am profoundly grateful for her dedication, integrity, and the outcome she helped secure. I recommend Radcliffe & Radcliffe without hesitation to anyone who needs exceptional family law representation.

Joe Wolch and Kate Mignani my message for you, don't ever forget how a 30 year old respondent with no law experience and a $20 a month ChatGPT subscription outsmarted and beat your entire firm in court. Law School 101: It's not what you know, what you feel or think, it's what you can prove in court Joe. (I did also have an attorney but most of my preparation was done with AI). Big thanks to Joe Wolch and Kathryn Mignani for representing my ex in both our divorce and a restraining order case. In my opinion, it lacked evidentiary support and may have been tactically motivated, as I've come to learn is not uncommon in Family Law cases for leverage in negotiating. For a marriage that lasted just six months with roughly around $5,000 in total community property, no kids, no houses, they still managed to rack up over $57,220 in legal fees on her side. This review is legitimate and follows Yelps TOS as it deals with my experience with them being the OC in this case. Their client (my ex) was ultimately found not credible and impeached multiple times in court, leading Honorable Judge Wendy Coates to dismiss the TRO completely. And at the end of the divorce case, she had to write me a equalizing check for property division.... Kathryn Mignani specifically was the attorney that questioned me when I was on the stand testifying. During my testimony, I observed Kate Mignani struggling with basic questioning and often stuttering over her words, and seemingly not able to respond with how I was answering the questioning. From my perspective, she seemed unprepared to challenge testimony that I had carefully and anticipated for months. I studied for hours on how to properly answer these questions and Mignani didn't grasp I was able to circumvent what she was wanting me to say. In my opinion, this demonstrated a lack of competence in trial advocacy. My attorney and I were expecting at least a little more in-depth questioning but got nothing of substance. I have no formal legal training, so I actually used AI and large language models to simulate potential cross-examination questions from Wolch, Mignani, and their paralegal (I believe her name is Kate Gums). I fed the system our prior correspondences and noted their behavioral patterns in how they reacted to documents my attorney, Aaron, and I would submit. This helped me prepare extensively for what I anticipated would be a much more thorough line of questioning. The AI was actually more in-depth and subjectively speaking, harder to answer than Mignani herself. In my personal opinion, it was fairly obvious from the start that this wasn't truly a domestic violence case, but rather an attempt to manage my ex's public image. Now I don't know whether or not Wolch's team advised my ex this claim had no foundation, but one can only hope they did. Looking back, I'm surprised Wolch's firm chose to proceed. But seeing the attorney's fees disclosure each party exchanged, showing around $57,220 plus several days of trial that hadn't been billed yet, it now puts the situation into a clearer perspective. I left the courtroom genuinely surprised that someone this terrible in trial advocacy could be in active legal practice. Joe Wolch, who I assume owns the firm and I'd assume is responsible for approving this case and continuing it to depths of ridiculousness, continued to pursue the matter despite the absence of any credible evidence indicating wrongdoing on my part. This resulted in an unwarranted challenge and attempt to ruin my reputation and professional standing. I understand not every attorney shines in litigation, but in my perspective, this felt more like someone winging it than advocating effectively. Kate Mignani was absolutely terrible at questioning me up on the stand and I'd highly advise contacting me if you want to see the transcripts of how awful she was during the trial. If anyone is interested in reviewing the partially redacted public transcript or the case itself, feel free to reach out, everything was said on the record and is available for verification. Thank you again, Joe and Kate, for representing my ex throughout both our brief marriage and a lengthy restraining order dispute. Despite a marriage that lasted just over six months with limited community property and no children, legal fees on her side exceeded $57,220. In my opinion, the TRO lacked evidentiary support and appeared strategically motivated. Ultimately, Honorable Judge Wendy Coates dismissed the restraining order after finding my ex's testimony not credible and specifically noting that certain claims were impeached by video and witness evidence. It turns out the court sided with actual evidence over uncorroborated allegations. I never had any doubt I'd win.

What began as an attempt at an amicable separation turned into a nightmare when my ex hired an aggressive litigator and weaponized the court system against me and our child. Despite co-owning our home and paying the mortgage for 15 years, he locked my daughter and me out, forcing us to live out of my car. Stan's colleague had described him to me as having "the biggest heart," but said that that when faced with a crisis, Stan would show up with fierce expertise to protect us. This is exactly what Stan did. What sets Stan apart: * Genuine compassion combined with expert family law knowledge * Clear strategy focused on protecting children's wellbeing * Collaborative and professional even when opposing counsel escalated situations While my ex's counsel engaged in courtroom theatrics, Stan and his team never lost sight of what truly mattered: my child's wellbeing and our family's future. Stan and his team are everything you want in legal representation: skilled, strategic, compassionate, and committed to protecting what matters most. Big shoutout to Hannah Probets and everyone in the office (Maria, Sylvia, Chloe!) They truly understand families, not just legal procedures. After a year of unwavering support, strategic guidance, and steady presence through the storm, I'm free to move forward. Stan gave me my life back. With deep gratitude.

After having a consultation with Vanessa she sounded very nice and compassionate about helping me. She very strongly recommended to file an ex parte order which I agreed to as I trusted her judgement. Fast forward a few weeks later to when her law office filed the ex parte order, she couldn't be in court because she was to busy so she told me Lorena Garcia would be able to be there for this upcoming court date. If not she said it would look bad if I waited for her to be available. Ever since then I never heard a word from Vanessa, she was the one I wanted to be working with originally, but it felt as though she had no time to deal with me or my case and just pushed me off to someone else. She should have been up front about this from the beginning instead of handing me over to Lorena. When it came to the actual court date Lorena was not good, very soft spoken and did nothing! She said she was going to bring up all these points to the judge but literally said 2 things and was done. After court when we were talking she even went as far as to say I should "Look up my husbands ex girlfriends to see if I could get information out of them and get them to write a statement." Why would I ever do that?? This is the advice that you give me? This place does NOT care about their clients, they only care about making money off you! After court I told Lorena that I wanted to drop the ex parte order. She then proceeded to charge me an extra $3K when she specifically said she could not work on my case any further. The one thing I asked her to do was to drop the order and she did not do it! WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY DO NOT GO HERE!
