I first met Margaret Mulvihill in January of 2018. My wife had been diagnosed with Alzheimers…read morealmost 4 years earlier. My wife has one daughter from her 1st marriage who we had just gifted $22,500 to. The daughter lives in Arizona and came to visit the Bay Area. The daughter had secretly already purchased a one way ticket to Phoenix for her mom. She wanted for her mom to live there permanetly. In our 12 years of a happy marriage we had never even had an a real argument. In January, 2018 I was served divorce papers; I knew I needed an attorney. I interviewed 6 lawyers before I got to Margaret. Margaret had the qualities that I was looking for: a sharp, analytical, and creative mind and a wonderful amount of compassion for her clients. Over the last three years I feel I know her quite well. In those 3 years we hit major road blocks to getting a settlement the latest one being the closure of the judicial offices in Santa Clara County for a long stretch of time because of the virus. Margaret's solution was to find a private judge. She is a caring person, and an extremely hard worker who goes the extra mile to provide legal and emotional support. She even helped my son in a dispute he was having regarding his property line in a mobile home park without billing him. She is the whole package.

Our experience with William Chaddock as fiduciary for a probate estate has been extremely…read moredisappointing. The estate has still not been fully paid out, and despite repeated calls and emails, Mr. Chaddock has not responded. A fiduciary should communicate promptly and act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, but that has not been our experience here. We would recommend proceeding with caution and asking very specific questions about responsiveness and timelines before hiring him. Mr Chaddock or the attorney working with him on this probate/estate Jeffrey Killeen have stopped communication with our family and there is still over $100,000 that has not been paid out.

I had an appalling customer service experience working with Kevin Courtney over the last eight…read moremonths to settle my dad's estate. I chose him only because my dad had used his firm to update estate planning documents. I deeply regret my decision as, through Mr. Courtney's negligence and awful communication, he made this already difficult process even MORE stressful and arduous. Mr. Courtney failed to adhere to the clearly defined terms of his engagement letter: to send me monthly statements. Therefore I was unpleasantly surprised to get a bill at the end for nearly double the original cost estimate. He also ignored my explicit request to get an account statement a month earlier. As trustee, I needed this information so I could properly maintain a cash reserve for unexpected expenses. Furthermore, he KNEW I was gathering information on outstanding debts and still did not mention his outstanding bill. When I asked Mr. Courtney why he did the above, he stonewalled and dodged the question. He said tersely he "waited until completion". This is a shameful lack of understanding what his client needs and unwillingness to accept responsibility for falling short. I could go on with other examples, but will stop there. Needless to say I would never work with Mr. Courtney again, and would definitely not recommend him to others.

Mr Penn has no concern for child welfare. He is very biased to whichever sides attorney hired him…read more My son and his wife divorced after the loss of their 12 yo daughter. My son had a complete breakdown. His behavior was horrible. He verbally attacked me and stated he didn't want me near his son. Several months later he got his life back on track and recanted his statement. Our grandchildren spent one weekend per month with my husband and I. When our DIL went to Vietnam Nam we cared for the children for two weeks. We kept both children during vacations from school and over holidays. During our interview with Mr Penn he was more interested in reliving his military career and seeing if he and my husband had friends in common. He paid little attention to me. Needless to say this went to trial and we were denied ANY visitation with our grandson. Our son is allowed to see his son every 6 weeks in a counselors office. The counselor has suggested they go to dinner or gaming and his former spouse will not allow it. Unless we spend another $40K in attorney fees we cannot see our grandson. Our grandson lost his beloved sister, his father and grandparents who doted on him. Mr Penn should/could have worked to ensure the boy received love from all parties. Instead he opted to side with my DIL attorney as (we believe) he is on retainer with them.

Mr Penn. did everything he could to fight for my custody case, and he always try to save money for me. He was leading in the right direction because it was so stressful for me, and I got panicked all the time. Also a lot of thanks to Heather, she has been responsive and helpful the whole time.
