A great local attorney, who seems to know everything about property rights and right away questions. Chris goes the extra mile to help his clients. read more

My experience with Jennifer O'Brien was extremely different from that of Elle B. I called the office for help with formalizing and recording an easement on a rental property, and ask to speak with her because of the real-estate work she listed in her CV. I found it easy to work with her. She listened carefully to the issue, we had a friendly interaction, and she quickly generated a professional document ready for recording, in the appropriate legal form, and covering several issues that had not even occurred to me. I would certainly return to her if I ever needed legal help on a real-estate issue, and have no hesitancy in recommending her. (And no -- she did not ask me to write this review. I felt compelled to do so after seeing the very negative earlier review, which is so different from my own experience.) read more

Christopher Neary is an excellent attorney. You can disregard the reviews of Laurence T. And Chi Chi R., who are one and the same, because Laurence T., a bully, a liar, and a thief, has been beaten soundly in a court of law by Mr. Neary more than once. The most notable of these losses is when Laurence T. attempted to foreclose on 48 properties while he was an HOA board member for the Sherwood Ranch Homeowners Association. Laurence's negative reviews are based solely on his position as a sore loser! read more

Terrible attorney! Disorganized, condescending, sloppy, poor understanding of the law, and more interested in increasing office billings than resolving issues. Stuck in the stone ages is right! The peeling paint you are greeted with as you trudge up his office stairs is your first clue. This one is well beyond his expiration date. You throw milk away at that point-enuff said. =) read more

RUN, FAST! I called this office yesterday and Neary answered. Apparently they can't afford a receptionist or secretary? Why is the lawyer answering the phone. The connection was poor and I couldn't hear him well enough and asked him to repeat his name. He stated, "I'M GONNA SAY IT ONE MORE TIME AND IF YOU CAN'T GET IT, THEN I'M HANGING UP!" Mind you this is supposed to be a grown man in a professional field. The amount of anger and immaturity was immeasurable. Then I got transferred to Jennifer O'Brien. She was even worse. I was calling for a simple request, to get a copy of my father's will since my stepmother had a massive stroke which has left her paralyzed and unable to speak and he assigned me as the executor of his estate. This girl (because she doesn't deserve to be called a woman with her immaturity) actually yelled at me and eventually hung up in my face. People like this should not be able to practice law or work in any public sector. Their behavior is criminal and ugly and down right evil. I will be reporting them to the California board. read more

I had some questions and was given the run around by several lawyers in my area. I called her…read moreoffice and left a message regarding my situation. I was wondering about the correct legal way to notarize documents. I promptly received a call back from Erin, the Notary woman in the office. She not only answered what the others wouldn't, she sent me links so I could research more myself. I can't tell you how much time I spent trying to reach someone who'd answer a quick and apparently easy question. I wanted to hire my mom a lawyer but Erin informed me that wasn't necessary. Notarizing it wasnt needed, so not only did she save me time, she saved me money. I wasted an entire day calling Humboldt county lawyers. My first call to Elina's office in mendocino was all i needed to do and I'm so happy I did! Her mother Erin was professional and prompt. She went over and beyond helping me. If I ever need a lawyer I'm skipping Humboldt County for Mendo and I'll call and recommend Elina's law office first. 5 stars

As I showed her 1 model I built & explained what she was looking at she paused while starring at it. Then said..."We need to move forward with that." Her words were a gust of fresh air & I sensed genuine support. Her fees are very reasonable as I still had to work. She explained everything about the process & her follow through is superb. There are times the USPTO office is slow to respond & Cynthia is very tenacious! Out of a 10 rating I have to give her a 20 because she's that thorough! D. Wedertz S.M.

The problem was that they werent listening to me- they were approaching spatial design in the wrong way Anna, on the other hand, spoke to me about what I wanted to get out of the space, what was going on currently in my life, and what I hoped to achieve. She pointed out issues in my house that were creating chi blockages (in my office for example). I made the changes she recommended and that week my productivity skyrocketed and I got 2 job offers! I have also felt vulnerable in certain areas of my life, and with the changes Anna suggested, such as planting trees in certain areas or moving around my furniture, I feel much more confident.
