    Ruth and her team did a great job helping me through a very difficult divorce. They were very…read morerespectful and sensitive about the intense health problems I deal with. They were also a safe team to work with as someone from the LGBT+ community. They were very clear with me about the realities of my situation and made me feel empowered to make very difficult decisions without making me feel overly pressured. When I had to appear in court to finally settle the divorce, emotionally and physically I could barely function that day. Ruth made the whole experience as quick and easy as possible and arranged things so I barely had to be in the same room as my ex. I can't thank them enough for helping me through such a deeply painful time. If you need a lawyer who is very competent and kind, I highly recommend Ruth Wyman.

I could not have expected anymore professional, thorough, care_full service from her and her office, both as a professional service that was meticulous in collecting detailed evidence and as in a professional service that was full of care about my wellbeing through this process. Her office staff was also incredible, in documenting evidence , her appearance in the court and presentation of my case, everything that happened before and during the court could not have been done any better. Ruth Wyman is a superb lawyer that I highly recommend.

This law firm did an amazing job and handling all the paperwork between the federal government and myself I have nothing but praise for them. Their knowledge of the laws and the paperwork as well as the requirements in order to get my then fiancé now ex-wife to America from the Philippines was phenomenal.

    Despite not needing to as the buyer, I purchased a home in Champaign while I was staying in…read moreSacramento California (with nothing more than a virtual walk-thru! ;D). Because of my exposure, I was looking for a really fair minded, professional, organized law firm that could take me from earliest negotiations right on through to final sale! And this is what Maatuka Al-Heeti Emkes and her amazing staff did for me! After coming out of a 30-year marriage and subsequent divorce, they made me feel certain, assured -- they made me feel empowered! Gave me the drive to finish something I'd never done alone and wasn't sure I could do! They helped me make a start on a brand new life and with that, they helped me build a home. =) And I will tell you this much, as the newly single, scared and unsure, price was absolutely a factor (anyone who tells you any different is a Rockerfeller of the atypical kind ;D). But MAE Law Firm (as they often call it) was absolutely spot on as far as that score! They were so fairly priced, and for all of my worries, they made me feel like very special client, even though they'd never be able to pick me out of a crowd! Even though I'd never spent a moment in their offices! It looks like there has been some kerfuffle here - that I absolutely cannot speak to! -- but I just wanted to say that from my experience and in everything that happened for me, my experience was very dissimilar to those in the negative. And price-wise, $500 was my entire bill for the time and attention Ms. Emkes gave to my project. In comparison to her competitors, it was well below any other quote I'd received.

    A few years ago. I had an incident that I needed law help with. As it happened, a few days before…read morethat. I had received one of Mr. Patels mailers and I thought okay. I'll take a chance on Mr. Patel. Big mistake. I called and the person that answered the phone was very rude. She told me that I had to make an appointment so I did. I had an appointment with a young man who was not Mr. Patel, but I assumed that he was a lawyer. Big mistake. He said that before he would do anything. I needed to give him $2000 and he would take care of it. Giving him that money was a huge mistake. Because after that he would not take my calls or return my calls. And as I remember it. The next time I saw him was at the courthouse. As we were going in to the courtroom. And I quote, "we are going to plead guilty because I (me)am a large white man with a bald head and there is no way that I would be found innocent because the plaintive was not. So after paying $1300 and In court costs and fines. I let it go for a while thinking about it (because I am a little bit afraid of attorneys). I decided I would let Mr. Patel know about this. When I would call he would not take my calls and would not see me when I drove by his office. I did leave my phone number with the receptionist and ask for Mr. Patel to call me. I did this many times. When I came into his office mind you, I knew he was in there because I could see him walking around. I know what he looks like and I was not there to start a big commotion. All I wanted to do was explain to him what happened. So I knew he was trying to avoid me. Now I know that $3300. It's not a lot to Mr. Patel. It's not one car payment on his Masarati or McLaren that he's driving this month or whatever it is that he's driving now. But it means a lot to me. I've had 2 heart surgeries. I've had cancer bouts twice and I've had over 20 other surgeries and I've been on SSDI for years. So that money meant a lot to me and he did nothing to earn it. I'd like to give him a zero. But a one is the lowest I can give. Now I just hope maybe this review can stop someone else from making the same mistake that I made.

If you want a firm that treats every case like it's their very first, Wozniak and Associates is the firm for you! They are extraordinarily incompetent. Though they've been a firm for over 20 years, they appear to have NO idea what they're doing. Their phones and emails seem unable to contact the outside world, as they will never return any of your messages. They will do their best to keep you as in the dark and confused as possible, then charge you over and over and over when you call and try to get any shred of information about the confusing and life-ruining process you're currently going through. I was in an awful situation and I hoped a lawyer could help me. Jay Ping was definitely not the lawyer to call. Jay does all sorts of delightful things like joke that he's "not a morning person" then show up late for your court hearing with a dry cleaning tag still attached to his suit! I begged him for 6 months to get my ex to send my passport, social security card and birth certificate that he was holding hostage. Jay did nothing. I told him my ex drained the bank account. Jay did nothing the first time, and didn't even call me back when I told him it happened a second time. I told him my pet was sick and I wanted to come back to my house to see her before she died. He did nothing and I never saw her again. I told him I needed things from my house as I had hardly any clothing or belongings. He did nothing. I drove 14 hours by myself to get into my house. He did nothing and I had to call a locksmith. When the divorce was finalized he told me I just needed to print out the judges opinion - 6 pages airing every detail of my personal life - and use that to change my name. The woman at the social security office literally laughed and asked if it was my lawyers first divorce. But none of that is the worst part. The worst part is that he breached attorney client privilege to negotiate on my behalf with my ex-mother in law when I specifically told him that she was not a lawyer and not to be involved. Instead, he charged me to negotiate with her. When I told him not to, he said okay, then did it again charged me more. When I complained about this ethical violation, the firm agreed to refund the money for this violation of my privacy. That was in May. As the mail also flummoxes them, I just received the check today, in March. It is for the wrong amount and made out to the wrong name. Oh well!
