One Star - Unprofessional and Disrespectful Experience…read more I'm writing this review to caution others about the extremely unprofessional experience my family member had with Mende Romaniak. I was helping a family member secure legal representation and they reached out to what I thought was a reputable company. From the very beginning, Mende's demeanor was dismissive and unprofessional. She rolled her eyes during the conversation, smacked her lips, and made it clear through her body language and tone that she wasn't interested in truly helping. When my family member calmly and respectfully shared that they didn't feel it was the right fit and asked what they could pay her for her time, Mende responded, "nothing," and abruptly hung up the call. That type of behavior is not only rude, it's completely unacceptable in any professional setting, especially one where individuals are seeking legal guidance during sensitive situations. My family member approached the consultation in good faith and was met with unwarranted attitude and disrespect. There are many reputable, compassionate, and professional attorneys out there who take pride in their work and the way they treat people. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Mende Romaniak is not one of them. I do not recommend her services and urge others to proceed with caution.

Do Not Recommend - Poor Representation, Overcharged, and Negligent…read more I hired Attorney Sean Kledzik from Bartholomew & Wasznicky LLP on May 20, 2025, after being assured the full scope of my case--including a DVRO filing, UPA case, and trial--would cost $15,000. Sean was the only attorney available from the firm to handle my domestic violence restraining order case. Once he received the full retainer, communication completely fell apart. I called the office seven times over ten days and got no response from Sean or anyone at the firm. When we finally prepared my DVRO (Case No. 25DV01590), Sean and his paralegal, Nicole Thompson, rushed me to finalize the documents with only a few hours' notice--twice. I was at work during both instances, under immense pressure to meet last-minute deadlines that were caused by their own delays. Sean represented me in two hearings before I ultimately fired him due to his incompetence and lack of preparation. At the first hearing on May 28, he and his paralegal showed up 45 minutes late. He did not prep me at all, didn't explain what to expect, and made no effort to strategize with me. At the second hearing on June 17, Sean was again late and offered no real defense against the false claims made by the other party. He didn't object, challenge, or advocate for me in any meaningful way. Because of this, false allegations went unchecked, and I am now required to drug test three times a week and still don't have custody of my children. Despite this minimal, substandard service, Sean charged the full $15,000 retainer for just two hearings, rushed filings, and partially completed UPA paperwork. I was left in a significantly worse position than I started--both legally and financially. I strongly urge anyone in a sensitive family law matter to avoid this attorney. I feel completely taken advantage of and deeply regret trusting this firm with my case.

This is a review of Jacquelyn's Salon 2475 Elk Grove Blvd. #120 Elk Grove, CA, 95758. I had an…read moreappointment with Bella at 5:00pm Wednesday 12-21-2022 I went in for an Aurora haircut. The stylist, Bella was not sure she could do it but would try. I did try making some small talk with her, but she really wouldn't talk much. Bella had asked me to put my head down, I figured just to do the back. She was cutting my hair and was about to take my hair from the top clip and she stops and says I'll be right back, I said OK. Once Bella left and went to the back my sister did come up and told me she doesn't know what she is doing, she was chopping up my hair in areas and leaving long strings in other areas. About 10 minutes later another hair stylist, I believe the owner, comes out and says Bella is nervous and upset, she can't finish your hair. She then says that Bella said myself and my sister were talking about her and said we didn't like how she was cutting my hair. I explained that My sister, who was sitting over 25 feet away from me, and I never said one word at all. My sister and I hadn't spoken to each other at all since we got to the Salon, until Bella had excused herself, gone to the back and did not return. The other stylist (owner) said she couldn't finish my hair until tomorrow. I told her I had to be in Fresno tomorrow to pick up our Christmas guest. She went to the back to call someone else to come in if they could. We waited for another 15 minutes and neither one came back up front. I took the clips out of my hair, and we left. Leaving a customer with their hair chopped up and having nobody in the shop who could finish it is out of this world. I was supposed to go out of town for Christmas on Thursday, now I have had to change my plans and be late an entire day! All this due to Bella, but her shop owner as well. This was incredibly unprofessional! I will never go into that Salon again and would never recommend anyone else to go either. If the stylist cannot come out herself and apologize and tell you herself that she is unable to continue she has no business in the profession! I have attached photos of my ruined hair; the length was originally down to my shoulders. Believe me if I could have left no stars I would have. Unfortunately, you must click on at least one. BEWARE: DO NOT GO TO THIS SALON!!!

Jacquelyn was so nice and helpful - showing me the difference in the wigs and letting me try on whatever I wanted. She has a nice variety of wigs for different ages and styles. She also has a good selection of head coverings, bangs, etc for hair loss. She is very educated in this area and would recommend. I was thinking about driving to Roseville but I was so happy to only have to drive across the street. I ended up getting a nice wig that matched my old hairstyle but with beautiful coloring and another fun long purple one.

Would happily work with him again

Every video was stunning, emotional, and perfectly captured the special moments of our wedding. They were timely and professional throughout the entire process. Edits were delivered on schedule, communication was smooth, and on the wedding day itself they were prompt and perfectly in sync with our timeline. You can tell they work incredibly well as a team, and beyond their technical skill, what really stood out was their genuine passion. Not only do they care deeply about their craft, but they also clearly cared about celebrating our love and telling our story in a meaningful way. They even flew to Chicago to film our wedding despite being based in Sacramento. On top of that, we received three USB drives and a beautiful wedding book, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you're looking for videographers who are professional, passionate, reliable, and insanely talented, Raw Emotion Studio are the ones to hire. We couldn't be happier with our experience or our videos.

We got a teaser for social media, an 8 minute video capturing more details of the day with the songs we were able to choose from his list, and a hour and a half documentary of the ceremony, reception, and our first dance! Super thankful for his attention to detail, talent, and the product!

I'm over this place... been coming here since I was a kid. I assume the business has been purchased and this is a new owner decision... lame! Do better. Yes you replaced the one I didn't like, because you laid it on me thinking I wouldn't notice. And the new flavor was different too! If hard work is replacing quality product with cheaper, lower quality product and then jacking up the price (my same order for 30 years has never been $8) -- when you come in and change / take away things people like to make more money that is lame. You take that away from people who care. As for not coming back? I will not.

I also ordered the All American Burger, and it was straight‑up fire: juicy, flavorful, and way better than I expected for a café‑style spot. The whole place gives off a subtle UK/England vibe with how clean and polished it feels, and I loved that the bathroom is labeled "WC" -- such a fun little touch that adds to the charm. They've also got a nice pastry selection, and my daughter was obsessed with her cupcake, so that's a win in my book. Between the great prices, the early happy hour, and the overall cozy, polished atmosphere, I'll probably be back. It's the kind of spot that feels low‑key but still thoughtful, and the value is hard to beat.
