She also resolved all aspects of my divorce too. I was quite happy with her and she's a wonderful attorney! I want to thank her as it was years ago and my daughter is grown and great. It all worked out and even my ex I has no problems with because I still allowed him to be w his daughter as he is her father thru 2 years of age til 18 when she became a adult. It was a scary time for me as I was young but having cherie on my side w my daughter being my main thing over anything! Cherie provided me w honesty integrity and a sense of YOUR NOT ALONE. Thank you Kimberly De Lima. P.S. SHE WAS NOT EXPENSIVE I WAS STRUGGLING BUT SHE MADE IT AFFORDABLE! GOD BLESS HER!

Over the last 2 years, she handled our case very professionally and when she went to court with us, she knew exactly what to say. She moved our complicated case along through the court system and we are almost at a satisfactory conclusion.......Through no fault of hers, my brother and I had a disagreement on how to proceed so she could no longer represent both of us. I found her to be very professional and highly ethical.....

Tammy-Lyn Gallerani is not a divorce attorney I would recommend. I'm surprised someone said in an…read moreearlier review that she has a good reputation. When we were with our divorce judge, he acknowledged that she is a screamer in court proceedings, but he also said, "That's who she is," and shrugged his shoulders. I was very lucky that my ex-husband hired her because I was able to win my divorce and he left the marriage with his tail between his legs!

My case needed much more investigation by Attorney Tammy-Lynn Gallerani, into the illegal actions…read moreand harassment by the Respondent throughout the proceedings. Her fees were way too high for the little work she did representing me. I do not recommend Attorney Tammy-Lynn Gallerani. After her poor representation I sought another Divorce Attorney that was excellent. He has retired so I cannot recommend him or I sure would.

I visited Christina McPherson once for my divorce. After collecting a $1000 retainer, she stopped…read morereturning my phone calls and never did any work on my case. She apparently closed her business to go back to school, but she did so with the help of my money. She was unprofessional and unethical in the extreme. I wrote her many emails, left many messages, and sent postal mail. She apparently is back in business, but a tiger doesn't change its stripes. If you have a choice, avoid this fraudster. (2021) Update in 2023: Per Ms. McPherson's request, I emailed her. She replied that she was ill and was not expected to survive; she did not contest the fact that she stole $1000 from me in 2004. She rejected my request to make good on her obligation. My previous review stands.

When life decides to throw you a curveball, you may find yourself in need of some legal help. My…read moreemployer was served paperwork stating that my ex-wife was calling herself a creditor for student loans she had gotten before we were even married. She was holding me accountable for half of her student debt after we had agreed that she wasn't going to. Had levied my bank account and started garnishing my wages. Nowhere in the legal documentation was she ever named creditor of anything. I am frankly amazed this even made it through the courts. Decided I definitely needed to seek legal help. Found McPherson Law Group on yelp*. Did the consult and met with Amanda Martin. Communication is mainly through email which is convenient. She managed to build a solid argument that never needed mediation by a judge, other than his stamp of approval. The whole ordeal took 9 months. Whaddya gonna do? This was my first experience with a lawyer and I would say it went well. Any lawyer hopefully gets better with experience, and I would say Amanda did her homework on this one. I hope none of you ever need a lawyer, but if you do, give McPherson Law Group a call, or send them a message!

I couldn't be happier with the service and the result. I hired Pamala because I felt it was crucial…read moreto present my case professionally rather than appearing on my own. It was my first time at a civil hearing, and frankly, I was shocked watching others present themselves unprepared. It made me so glad to have Pamala by my side. She was completely prepared, knew exactly what to do, and took all the pressure off me. I only had to answer a few easy questions regarding dates, while she presented the evidence efficiently--focusing only on what mattered to the judge. I realized that what the court thinks is important isn't always what I think is important. I am so glad I left this to a professional; I was granted the order I sought, with a longer duration than usual. Not only that, I was happy to hear from Pamala that the hearing did not use up my entire retainer. Thanks, Pamala!

Jennifer took care of everything quickly from start to finish, affording us peace of mind. She listened to our concerns and grievances and was always available to answer any of our questions. At court, Jennifer puts on a fierce front when needed and at the same time, has a nice human touch. What really impressed me was when she drove all the way from Pleasanton to San Jose for a court hearing when the judge summoned her last minute. She's dependable, driven, and truly has a heart of gold! There's no one else I'd rather have in my corner to fight for us besides Jennifer. I 110% wholeheartedly recommend her services!

But when I wrote back, called twice, and then emailed again- it took 5 days (including a weekend) for a response. I finally spoke with the lawyer on 4/1/25, but she told me she was going out of town for a bit and to reach out afterwards. When I reached out a few weeks later (4/18/25) inquiring about hiring SrivasLaw, no one responded as of 5/4/25. I understand being busy, but at least a quick note saying they don't have the capacity to take on new cases would be helpful. I feel like I wasted my time calling multiple times, emailing multiple times, and talking to Ms. Srivastava for her firm to ghost me in the end.
