This is the only Yelp review I've felt obligated to write because integrity is a quality that I would not have thought to be high on the list, but Janet Dockstader proved otherwise--and I'm extremely grateful for that. If this review helps even one person out, it was probably worth the time it took to write. In your quest to close the previous chapter of your life and move on to the next one, you will undoubtedly be forced to make decisions about who gets what and how hard you want to fight for what's right. Needless to say, certain battles may not warrant the associated cost. In order to make a sensible decision, however, you need an attorney that gives it to you straight and prevents you from going down rabbit holes that will only cost all sides time and money. Over the course of 18 months that felt like an eternity, I can honestly say that Janet and her team never led me astray. The two key reasons I would recommend anyone at least go in for an initial consultation are 1.) they are not all about the dollar and 2.) your case will get more than their fair share of attention (I'm talking all hands on deck) as important dates near. Complaining about inefficiencies and inequalities in the legal system would take days, but trust me, they exist--especially as it relates to family law. There are a number of occasions where the law firm could have profited by leading me down a different path, but they were more interested in behaving ethically and avoiding unnecessary expenditures on my behalf. Also, as submission deadlines and trial dates neared, Janet and her team of professionals worked overtime for me. The latter is more important than you currently know, because legal dissolution or separation is a process where months can go by without movement from the other side. You will, at times, feel isolated and extremely removed from the process. Rest assured, with Dockstader Orliczky in your corner, things are getting done. Due to the extensive amount of preparation, Janet was able to uncover hidden facts about the opposition and force a settlement in the 11th hour that cost me significantly less than going to trial would have. Almost all of the terms were what we wanted to begin with. Considering that the opposition did not, at any point, want to accept a settlement, this was an undeniable win. With the past now officially behind me, I look ahead to brighter days. Thanks Janet and team!

This review is long overdue. Never in my life did I think I would need to hire an attorney, but I…read morecannot recommend Robert Bare and his team highly enough. Robert's expertise, dedication, and compassion made a world of difference during a challenging time. Initially, due to my understanding of attorney fees, I planned to handle the legal proceedings on my own, with some help from my local courthouse legal aid office. However, I quickly realized how taxing and discouraging the process could be when seeking the protection I needed. It became clear that I shouldn't go through this alone, and I decided to seek the help of an attorney. Fortunately, my partner came across Robert Bare's office, and he was able to take me on as a client at the very last minute. From our first consultation, it was evident that Robert is highly knowledgeable. He explained everything in detail and made sure I fully understood my options. Robert was patient, empathetic, and reassuring throughout every step of the process. Thanks to Robert, I won my case and received the best possible outcome in my favor. His genuine concern for my well-being and his occasional follow-ups post-case really stood out, especially during moments when I needed time to heal. I am eternally grateful to Robert Bare and his team. There are simply not enough words to describe how highly I recommend Robert Bare as an attorney.

I missed out on months of spousal support as a result of this mishap. I fired Mr. Bare, represented myself, and had an excellent outcome. Mr. Bare was easily convinced that my ex-husband's outrageous legal claims "might have merit" and insisted on going down rabbit hole after rabbit hole, chasing nothing and costing me, a single mother, thousands of dollars in the process. Mr. Bare stated at one point "I didn't know you needed money" as part of his justification that they had not aggressively pursued appropriate child support for my, then 2 year old, child.

I really appreciate all the help attorney Martinez and his team provided to us. It was a very uncertain situation because I did not know what to do, and I was overwhelmed with all the online information from ChatGPT to Google. I felt the empathy since the first time we interviewed, his team provided me with the all the answers and even tough I didn't like some of the answers they were very honest and direct since day one. Also the process of my case was very fast, even before than I expected. They also prioritized medical assistance for myself, making sure I could recover in a timely manner. The team was very supportive in all the process answering my questions, phone calls and literally taking me by hand to understand this process, forms medical recovery. Gaby was the person working on my case with attorney Martinez, she was very good on letting me know where my case was,and where we are going in the near future. That really provided me with peace of mind. I definitely would recommend Martinez Law Firm to any family, friend or coworkers.

Nice enough guy and seemed to know what he was doing. I was so convinced that I hired them twice for the same ongoing issue, so I paid a total of $5,000. At trial on the last date, I specifically asked Mr. Hunter to make sure that I would get a reasonable portion of my deposit back. He assured me that all the boxes were checked correctly and to make sure that I left the place broom swept. I also had another case with this company and so my other attorney was trying to prepare something and he needed to include my deposit return, but couldn't find it in the documents submitted. I called Mr. Hunter and was explaining to me that it was right there...then he pulled up the document himself and noticed he missed something and that my deposit was forfeited. He said, "sorry, I messed up" and got off the phone. My deposit was $5,000, what I had paid them! I reached out to Mr. Martinez to report the issue. He said Mr. Hunter was on vacation and would follow up once he got back on the 16th of July. It is the 27th. I have reached out twice and now Mr. Martinez will not respond. So my recommendation is to stay away from this law firm. I understand that mistakes happen, but take accountability, and more importantly, follow up. The fact that they have done neither shows that integrity is not their strong suit, and that makes them HORRIBLE at best!

I rarely give negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience because it may help…read moresomeone who is in a vulnerable or desperate situation, as I was, and is considering hiring this attorney based on the positive reviews. My case took much longer than I expected and became increasingly frustrating. I initially spoke with Deborah R. only once. After that, Rebekka T. began communicating with me and repeatedly requested additional paperwork and information. I called the office and spoke with Maria V., who was very kind and helpful. I explained that I thought I was working directly with Deborah, and Maria told me that was no longer the case. Unfortunately, when I later tried to contact Maria again, I was told that she no longer worked there. Throughout my case, I was repeatedly asked for more and more paperwork and information, resulting in additional billable time. I found myself spending a significant amount of time going back and forth providing personal information and answering questions that I felt had already been addressed. Ultimately, I incurred a large legal bill, which I paid, but I felt that I had very little to show for the amount of time and money spent. Then I began receiving communication from Andrea L., who said she was assisting Rebekka. She called me and asked many of the same questions I had already answered for Deborah and Rebekka. This was particularly difficult because, at the time, I was dealing with serious health issues and undergoing chemotherapy. I was exhausted and not feeling well, and repeatedly having to revisit sensitive personal information was extremely stressful. I also received a bill listing Andrea L. as a senior attorney and charging me for one hour. I had documented the telephone conversation, and my records showed that the call lasted approximately 22 minutes. I became concerned when I noticed that the phone number associated with Andrea had a Georgia area code. I researched her credentials because I wanted to understand why I was being charged a senior attorney rate. At the time, I was unable to find a California license for her and found information indicating that she was an attorney based in Georgia. I questioned Rebekka about why I was being charged a senior attorney fee for this time and asked for clarification. She offered to discount the bill, which she did. I also copied Deborah R. on my email because she was the attorney I originally believed I was working with. Rebekka responded that I was her client and did not need to discuss the matter with anyone else. I found that response concerning, particularly given my questions about who was handling my case and how I was being billed. Eventually, I decided I needed to find another attorney. Finding a real estate attorney who was willing and able to take on my complicated case was not easy. Fortunately, I found a different real estate attorney who was compassionate, responsive, and communicated directly with me. He immediately reviewed my situation and explained that we could resolve the matter without going to court and unnecessarily increasing attorney fees. The difference in my experience was remarkable. He was determined, honest, considerate, and gave me peace of mind knowing that my case was being handled properly. He ultimately helped bring the matter to a successful conclusion. I am sharing my experience not to discourage anyone from making their own decision, but to encourage people to ask questions before hiring an attorney: Who will actually be handling your case? Who will be communicating with you? What billing rates will apply? And who exactly is being billed for the work? When you are already dealing with a difficult legal situation and especially when you are dealing with serious personal circumstances. You need an attorney who communicates clearly, treats you with compassion, and gives you confidence that your case is being handled carefully. Based on my experience, I would not hire this firm again.

I appreciated that Debra does not like to see her clients bullied. Down right, will NOT allow it. She carefully gathers all the information, decides on the best way to use it, and then knocks it out of the park. Debra really went to bat for me. I appreciate everything she did to make me feel strong and capable of going the distance. She said to me "When this is over, you're going to know that nobody can ever Mess with You. Not as long as you have me!" And boy was she right. Side note: a year after my case was over a client of mine found out her husband had been unfaithful - and was pretty brazen about it. She was devastated but knew she wanted him out of her life. I gave her Debra Opri's phone number. To this day, she thanks me for saving her life! Debra kicked that cheaters butt all over the courtroom! All this to say, if you are looking for an attorney who means business and gets the job done. STOP. You've found her.
