However, a few times along the way, I had questions and Laura was responsive and very clear in helping me understand things. Laura explains things better/more clearly than the other people I worked with. For example, she explained "reservation of jurisdiction" with more context and more thorougly than the mediation attorney and my own attorney, along with its limitations and scenarious where it has really made a difference, but did not subvert what the parties intended. I've also found valuable the general webinars where I'd heard Laura speak prior to engaging her help. Laura also helped with how to frame alternatives I was presenting. She was very sensitive to the emotional tone that we wanted to maintain (our goal was having a divorce that honored our marriage and where we had no regrets about the manner/process of the divorce itself), and suggested phrases that captured things in the warm and constructive tone that was my goal.

**Paula Goforth - Family Law Attorney in Carlsbad, CA - Highly Recommended**…read more I cannot recommend Paula Goforth highly enough for anyone needing a family law attorney in Carlsbad. I recently worked with her on my divorce agreement after having consulted with four other attorneys in the past, and the difference in the results she achieved compared to the others was truly amazing. I honestly never expected to receive even half of what she was able to secure for me in my divorce settlement. Paula went above and beyond in every aspect of my case. As a full-time working parent with very little spare time to navigate the complexities of a divorce, I was incredibly grateful for her ability to take care of everything that needed to be done. She handled the details with professionalism and efficiency, alleviating a tremendous amount of stress for me. Looking back at the years I spent raising my five children largely on my own, often working multiple jobs and receiving very little support, I truly believe that my experience would have been significantly different, and far less difficult, if I had consulted with Paula Goforth years ago. It was a hard lesson learned, but I am profoundly grateful and feel truly blessed to have found her when I did. What Paula has done for me and my children is nothing short of a true blessing. Her dedication, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for her clients are evident in her work. If I or any of my friends and family ever need a family law attorney in the future, I will not hesitate to insist that they go to see Paula Goforth first. She is exceptional, and I wholeheartedly recommend her services.

Based on good internet reviews, I wanted to hire Samin to help me with my divorce, but she wasn't…read moretaking new clients. So I worked with her colleague, Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided great service and information in a timely, professional manner. At some point, she announced she was leaving the practice, for reasons I don't know. So I was transferred to Samin. Samin and I met over zoom a few times. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Then we decided that mediation wasn't working and I needed to take my husband to divorce trial. So I hired her to represent me instead of on a consultation basis. That's when things started going wrong. Over the next few months, it became harder to get in touch with her. Email responses would take 3-4 business days. Her paralegal was helping me put together forms to file (FL-150) but edits back and forth would take days to come back for my review, wheras I made sure I always returned my part within 1 business day to them. It took 2 1/2 months for her firm to complete the form and file it!!! All the while I was losing out on having the form filed for the purpose of retro spousal support. More than once when they returned the forms for my review there were errors, some glaring, which required more time on my part, more emails back and forth and -yup- more time billed to me. So one day I called the office to express my anger and frustration at the process and asked for a call back so we could talk live instead of email. I never got a call back!! Four business days later I got a stern email. Never was there an explanation or apology for why I couldn't get them to speed up or attend to my case. At one point, Samin told me it was my fault for changing my mind (for 24 hours) and telling her that I thought I might try mediation again instead of court, but then told her never mind and to proceed. Divorce is messy-it is normal to have doubts and 2nd thoughts. Instead of telling me that it's MY fault that the process is taking so long, maybe guide me through the pros and cons of each option and have a little sympathy. Plus, that mixed message only accounted for 2 business days. Not the 2 1/2 months that it took to get that form finished. After feeling ignored, underserved, overwhelmed and uncared for, I finally pulled the trigger and let Samin go. I hired Honorable Legal Services-DeAnn Salcido, who has been phenomenal. Attentive at every step, incredibly informative, educational. She gives me notes, articles with highlights an annotations for me to read. She explains my options clearly. She responds in 1-2 days every time. We've done multiple zoom calls. And her office has a marvelous online system that organizes my files, forms, correspondence and upcoming dates in a way that is clear to both of us. AND she costs LESS than Samin! If I had had DeAnn from the start instead of Elizabeth and Samin, this process would have gone a LOT smoother and faster.
