I googled and found that Levine Family Law advertises this service. They charged, as I recollect, $3500. The forms went in fine, but then I waited for months for the court order to be entered. At first they said six weeks, but the timeline kept slipping. I started having calls with Levine asking what was happening--they said the SF court was backed up and that it would take time. But it became clear that they did not have a direct line to the courthouse and had a very difficult time getting hold of human beings over there: they were essentially blind. I asked for a call with my lawyer, Stan, but was informed he had left the practice (nobody had told me). I had a call with the office manager Katie, and she basically told me I'd just have to wait. It was very nice and all, but she said I just needed to wait. I live about 20 min drive from the courthouse, so after that call I got so frustrated I got in my car, and I went to the courthouse. There was no line at the records office. They pulled my application, and the clerk said he'd put it on the top of the stack on Monday. By Tuesday, my name/change order was granted, and I had my certified copies. What makes me angry is that I was repeatedly told that the courthouse was busy and, essentially, incompetent, but actually every interaction I've had with them, whether for this or for other records requests, has been prompt and efficient. There is almost never a line; they are very helpful in answering questions. It has become clear to me that Levine Family Law merely scapegoats the courthouse, and that the true issue is their inability to get anyone there on the phone. In the USA, we don't hire lawyers merely to fill out forms--we hire them to shepherd us through the legal process. Levine family law certainly would never be as cavalier about the fate of a child custody or divorce decree--it is only their trans clients that they leave to fend for themselves, twisting in the wind for months. It is unconscionable to charge people $3500 and then be unwilling to take twenty minutes to, say, show up at the courthouse and make sure the decree actually gets entered. If you're not willing to do what it takes to get the decree granted, please don't offer it as a service. As it is, I have no doubt that if I'd filled out the forms myself and gone to the courthouse on my own, I'd have gotten everything done much quicker and more cheaply. I want to reiterate that the forms they filed were apparently fine, but they had absolutely no orientation to actually following up with the court. No doubt they will respond to say that they did their job when they filed the forms. But I was advised by Stan specifically that he was going to be in my corner, following up on these forms. When a firm charges for this service, they are charging for peace of mind--the idea that they will handle everything. If all you want is someone to file forms, maybe this law office is fine, but if you want someone who will make sure the decree actually gets granted, you shouldn't go with them.

Working with Ingrid was a dream experience! My family and I live in a 100 yr old home in Oakland…read morethat had a bathroom that desperately needed upgrading. Ingrid has an artistic eye that clicked perfectly with our design wishes. She listened to our ideas and compiled 3D drawings to help us visualise what our bathroom would look like. Once we decided on a few key features and a design template, our project design came together very quickly. We chose tiles, a custom built vanity and marble top, flooring and bathroom hardware with Ingrid's input over a few weeks and then building work started with a general contractor, Adam Arrington Construction, suggested by Ingrid. We had Ingrid as an invaluable link whilst the works were carried out. All in all, the project was thorough and executed with great skill and a keen eye for detail. Our new bathroom has all of the hallmarks of what can be built by skilled craftspeople when great design is guiding a project. We are so grateful to have found Ingrid and to have her and Adam's expert work adorn our home.

Review of Tracy Lemmon -- Lemmon Employment Law & Conflict Resolution…read moreI was terminated by a major technology company while on protected medical leave, with active internal complaints and external agency filings pending. The company had locked me out of all systems within hours of my filing complaints, and opposing counsel was running out the clock while offering nothing substantive. I needed someone who could force a real conversation. Tracy did that. She engaged opposing counsel directly and didn't let mischaracterizations stand -- she quoted their own words back to them in writing and held the line. When the other side tried to reframe the narrative, Tracy kept the record clean and the pressure consistent. She coordinated strategy across multiple state and federal agencies simultaneously, which created the kind of leverage that actually moves a large employer off its default position of silence. The monetary result was strong -- meaningfully above what I expected going in, and well beyond the company's initial posture. But Tracy didn't stop at the headline number. She optimized the tax structure of the settlement in a way that materially increased what I actually took home, secured employment record protections that matter for future background checks, and ensured that every internal investigation was formally closed. Those details compound long after the check clears, and she understood that from the start. She's also genuinely collaborative. She kept me copied on everything, ran drafts past me before sending, and respected the documentation I brought to the table rather than sidelining it. If you show up organized and prepared, she'll put your evidence to work. I'd strongly recommend Tracy for anyone facing a California employment dispute against a well-resourced employer. She got me to a pre-litigation resolution that I didn't think was possible when I first engaged her.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

While the Berg Injury Law firm represented me 1) They did not initiate contact with me once 2) They never made a single discovery in support of my case. Because of their poor performance I terminated their services after 10 months. This time Berg Injury were quick on their feet to notify me, my insurance and the other party's insurance that they were to be paid $5,600 prior to me recovering my insurance coverage for my bodily harm. Very disappointed. I will get $0 from this accident that has left me with permanent damage while Berg grabs my insurance coverage.
