This was my first time ever needing an attorney, and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. My attorney was John Hardy, and his paralegal was Randy Bravo. From our very first conversation, I felt like I was in good hands. John approached my situation with compassion, honesty, confidence, and wisdom. He was transparent about what to expect, took the time to thoroughly research my questions, and always provided thoughtful, practical guidance. Throughout the process, both John and Randy were incredibly responsive and always responded to my questions quickly, which gave me a great deal of confidence during an unfamiliar and stressful time. Looking back, I know I made the right choice with Wade Litigation. The entire team was professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the process. Ana was always helpful with billing questions, and Ashlee was consistently kind and quick to respond whenever I reached out. I highly recommend John Hardy and the entire Wade Litigation team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate legal representation. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. In our experience, this attorney was a lot of talk with very little action. We spent well over $40,000 over the course of two years on my son's custody case, yet we felt we were essentially in the same position we started in. After such a significant financial investment, we expected meaningful progress, consistent communication, and an attorney who would aggressively advocate for my son and his children. One of the most frustrating aspects of this experience was that it often felt as though Robert was siding with the opposing attorney rather than fighting for my son's interests. The repeated continuances and lack of progress were especially heartbreaking because my son was unable to see his two young children for a period of time. We hired an attorney expecting someone who would take our concerns seriously, follow through on commitments, and work diligently toward a resolution. Unfortunately, that was not how we experienced this representation. My son has requested his case records multiple times, including documentation of the work performed and communications with the opposing attorney. We also want a clear, detailed breakdown of the work Robert completed and how the more than $40,000 in legal fees was spent. We believe that, after investing this much money and time, we deserve transparency and accountability. We were also disappointed by the limited in-person court appearances. To our recollection, Robert appeared in person only once during those two years, with the other proceedings handled through Zoom. Meanwhile, the case continued to be postponed, and we were left feeling that important matters were not being followed through on. Given the amount we paid, we expected more progress, communication, and effective representation. The situation was particularly difficult for our family because the custody proceedings affected the children's relationships with one another. One of the children was also involved in the legal proceedings in a way that was difficult for our family to witness. Out of respect for the children's privacy, I will not share further details, but the emotional impact on our family was significant. What makes this experience even more frustrating is that since no longer using Robert, my son has been able to accomplish more on his own and has made progress in seeing his children. After spending over $40,000 and two years with this attorney, seeing my son move forward without him has left us questioning the value of the representation we received. This experience has been disappointing, stressful, and financially draining. When a family hires an attorney for something as important as child custody, they expect dedication, honest communication, accountability, and someone who genuinely advocates for their client. Based on our experience, we did not feel we received the level of service or representation we paid for. I strongly encourage anyone considering hiring this attorney to ask detailed questions about billing, communication, court appearances, case strategy, and measurable progress before making such a significant financial commitment. Our family invested more than $40,000 and two years hoping for meaningful help. We were left disappointed, with unresolved concerns and the feeling that we had to move forward on our own. I would not make the same choice again based on our experience. read more

Wade Law tells you what you want to hear, but also charges you a lot for much of nothing... Over the course of working with this litigation firm for the last four years, I've spent much more money than I needed to and didn't see the results that I was promised when it mattered the most. I would go with a different law firm and not put your loved ones or livelihood at risk with this firm... Look elsewhere. read more

Unprofessional Custody Representation - Complete NegligenceRetained Wade Litigation (specifically William H. Stewart) for my child custody case and paid a retainer upfront. It was a complete disaster. Over an entire month, I received a total of only 32 minutes of interaction with zero meaningful legal strategy, guidance, or feedback.The firm completely failed to monitor my case file and neglected to inform me that a mandatory court request for a remote appearance had been officially denied. This total failure of communication forced me to scramble to court in person at the absolute last minute. To make matters worse, the attorney showed up late to the mandatory court hearing (arriving at 1:35 PM) and inappropriately instructed me, the client, to handle his professional responsibilities by explaining his tardiness to the court officer.Following a continuance, the attorney directed me to schedule a family therapy appointment but completely forgot to coordinate or notify opposing counsel. I sat waiting at the appointment for an hour, only for the attorney to text me admitting he "forgot" to contact the other party. I have explicit written text messages from the attorney apologizing for these exact "mistakes" and "oversights."They took thousands of dollars from me and completely abandoned my child custody case when I needed competent representation the most. When I demanded a refund, the firm retaliated by trying to manufacture an unsubstantiated "outstanding balance" of over $11,000 to threaten and intimidate me into dropping my disputes. I have filed formal fraud and misconduct disputes with my financing company, my bank, and am escalating this directly to the State Bar of California. Avoid this firm at all costs if your family's future is on the line. read more

Just want to thank Wade litigation, and specifically Yuri Voronin for helping, and representing me in a civil matter. Mr. Voronin is an excellent attorney who did everything in his power to make sure that the case against was dropped, which it was. Thanks to Mr. Voronin and his dedication and hard work my case was totally dismissed without prejudice. I would highly recommend Mr. Veronin to anyone who is looking for a dedicated and hard-working attorney. His knowledge of the law and his ability to litigate in my behalf is the reason that my case was totally dismissed. Thank You Very Much read more

$10,300 in fees and nothing was accomplished, not even a court appearance. Every point of contact is billable. The atty ($500/hr) called me and left a voice message. The message was billed as 0.1 hrs costing $50. I often would and talk to the Admin person, but when they relay the conversation to the atty, it's billable!! They dropped me as a client without accomplishing a thing. read more

I have been working with Wade Litigation for 2.5 years as I have navigated a very difficult divorce. From my first contact with Jake for the intake process to my recent email update from my lawyer, Paul Dumont, I always feel taken care of. My paralegal Kristina feels like a friend and she is always caring and efficient. Ana King is also amazing, she has been extremely kind as we deal with invoices. I would recommend them to anyone and often do! Hopefully my divorce process is almost finished but I feel secure knowing Paul, Kristina and Ana are in my corner. read more

Whether you're spiritual or not, I prayed for the perfect attorney to guide me through my high-conflict divorce. Discovering Wade Litigation's website felt like the answer I'd been seeking. After submitting an intake form, they paired me with Ryan Romero--and I couldn't have asked for better. Ryan didn't just expertly navigate the complex legal maze; he genuinely cared about me as a person, supporting me through intense emotional turmoil every step of the way. He not only met my goals but exceeded them. Thank you, Wade Litigation, for assigning exactly the right advocate. I can't recommend Ryan highly enough! read more

I came to Wade Litigation during one of the most difficult and emotional periods of my life, and I left with every outcome I had hoped for. That says everything. John Hardy was outstanding from start to finish. He balanced professionalism and genuine care in a way that made a stressful process feel manageable. He listened, he advocated fiercely on my behalf, and when it was time to push hard, he did so without hesitation and at my direction. The litigation was resolved quickly and in my favor. Family legal matters are deeply personal and can be very challenging. It was important that I found an attorney, and firm, that understood this. It was important that I had someone who fought for my best interest while keeping me informed and supported throughout the process. If you need someone in your corner who delivers real results, you found it at Wade Litigation. read more

I had a difficult litigation that I had never experienced. The attorney, Masumi Sakai, was very professional, personable and knowledgeable about how to best handle my case. I appreciate how towards the end of negotiations they worked with me. I was told by another source that if I went to trial the cost might run way over my budget but we were able to use mediation to prevent that situation. It all worked in my favor. I am forever grateful. read more

John Hardy was my attorney. He was great in my civil suit. He kept excellent contact throughout the process. I was very well informed of options and next steps. Thank you and I would recommend Wade Litigation. read more

Wade Litigation was a 5+ stars overall experience, if I could give more I would. Special thanks to Attorney Anthony Daher and Paralegal Nancy Adams they were both wonderful. Under the circumstance I was going through, a Civil Lawsuit or any kind of Lawsuit can be very stressful. Anthony's strategic thinking, planing and fast reacting gave me the assurance and peace of mind I needed. The monthly progress updates and continuous communication made this process less stressful. The outcome was more than I could of hope for, my case was Dismissed plus a compensation. I would definitely recommend Wade Litigation and Attorney Anthony Daher for any Lawsuit you are going through. read more

To many unanswered questions, i kept getting the run around rep couldn't help with my situation at all it was always i'll get back to you

Don't be fooled by the many name changes of this "law firm". They scammed me 3 yrs ago for over 12k and they never did anything but file for continuances for my divorce (against my wishes). It's a very shady operation. I went through the Los Gatos office but ended up dealing with different attorney's throughout the state (never personally) and was billed for many unjustified legal and paralegal charges. It's a complete sham/scam. They'll try to keep you on the hook for retainer fees with no legitimate services provided. And, they delayed my what should have been an easy divorce by soaking me for money until I called them out... read more

We retained Steve Derby of Wade Litigation to represent us in a real estate dispute after purchasing a renovated property with major undisclosed defects. The seller not only misrepresented the home's condition, e.g., falsely stating it was connected to public sewer when it was actually on a non-functional septic system, but also failed to follow government-required permitting and inspection processes. This resulted in severe damages caused by multiple serious plumbing and mechanical issues throughout the house. Despite clear and ample evidence, the seller decided to sue us in superior court, which led us to retain Steve for arbitration. From the very beginning, Steve demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and deep legal expertise. There are too many good things to say about Steve, but the key highlights are listed below: 1. Steve carefully examined every document we provided and gave us candid assessments of both the strengths and risks of our case. This set realistic expectations for arbitration. His thoroughness allowed him to analyze our case efficiently, and he truly remembered everything he reviewed, which impressed us until this day, considering he's involved in so many other cases. 2. Over several months, Steve helped us identify and piece together critical evidence we had overlooked. He built a compelling narrative around the seller's substandard renovation work, strengthening our case significantly. This is the exact opposite to our prior attorney who simply waited for us to produce arguments and evidence. 3. Based on the evidence compiled, Steve crafted a comprehensive approach that dismantled the seller's claims and reframed damages around the property's diminished value. This was far more persuasive than the repair-cost arguments we had initially focused on. 4. As arbitration neared, Steve prepared us with multiple strategy sessions and submitted a pre-hearing brief with more than 300 exhibits, compared to fewer than 10 from the opposing side. 5. During this time, the opposing attorney attempted delay and blame-shifting strategies, including trying to vacate arbitration and shift liability to the seller's real estate agent. Steve countered each of their filings effectively, securing rulings in our favor. 6. During the arbitration hearings, Steve conducted direct and cross-examinations with precision and strong command. His guidance kept us focused and protected us from the opposing counsel's aggressive and distracting questioning. 7. Steve's closing brief was exceptionally well written, with a strong and cohesive narrative that tied our claims to the evidence. In the closing argument hearing, his presentation was structured, persuasive, and adaptable to opposing counsel's points. Throughout the litigation process, Steve was consistently responsive and took the time to explain each step in plain language, which gave us confidence and peace of mind. This was a stark contrast to our prior attorney who left us confused, uninformed, and concerned with the overall process. The result: we won almost the full compensation requested, plus legal fees. This outcome would not have been possible without Steve's expertise and relentless advocacy. Having previously worked with another attorney who lacked motivation and strategy, we know how rare it is to find an attorney like Steve. He is thorough, responsive, and exceptionally skilled in litigation. We highly recommend him without reservation. read more

Very professional and in my consult it was explained to me what I could expect. I believe all of them would go beyond your expectations and very fair in my opinion. I would recommend this firm to anyone without hesitation! read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. Wade Litigation assured us from the very beginning that this was a straightforward case they could resolve quickly. Ten months later, after draining us for tens of thousands of dollars, they have nothing to show for it. No resolution, no settlement, no trial - just bloated invoices padded with duplicate billing, attorney-rate charges for clerical work, and block-billed entries that hide what was really done. In September alone, they demanded nearly $40,000 across two back-to-back invoices, on top of thousands more in mediation "fees" and retainers. When I explicitly asked for a trust ledger to reconcile deposits, withdrawals, and balances, they didn't provide it -- they resent their invoices as if that were the same thing. That's not transparency; that's stonewalling. To make matters worse, our own attorney couldn't even pronounce our names correctly during mediation, despite months of corrections from both my husband and me. The firm also came to mediation unprepared, forcing delays while we all waited on incompetent paralegals to do work they had already billed us for. That's not advocacy, that's negligence. This firm promised quick results and delivered nothing but threats: pay another $20,993 or we'll drop you. Wade Litigation doesn't fight for clients - they bleed them dry. If you value your money, your sanity, or your time, stay far away. read more

I was involved in a complex and stressful legal situation for 4 or 5 years and working with this firm has genuinely restored a lot of my faith in the legal system. From the beginning, my attorney Steve Derby was honest and realistic about what to expect -- not sugarcoating anything, and also not leaving me in the dark. That kind of transparency meant a lot to me. I always felt informed and supported rather than confused or brushed off. Communication was excellent. I received timely updates, and I really appreciate the app that they use that has the attorney handy and the different departments listed and it tells if they are available at the time or not, It makes things pretty easy. Most importantly, I feel like they actually cared about my case and about doing things the right way. They're professional, organized, and straightforward, and I'm grateful to have had them in my corner. If you're looking for a law firm that's responsive, honest, and truly advocates for their clients, I highly recommend them. Doug S read more

I worked with Wade Litigation, and attorney Yuri was assigned to my case. They provided exceptional legal representation throughout my litigation and consistently demonstrated professionalism, strong legal knowledge, and clear communication at every step of the process.

I am truly grateful for their support and confidently recommend Wade Litigation to anyone seeking skilled, reliable, and effective legal representation. read more

I live in the Monterey Bay Area and trying to find an experienced Civil Attorney was a nightmare to fight a frivolous lawsuit. After some google searching online, I found Wade Litigation. All I had to do was provide them with a time line and police reports; it was all taken out of my hands after that. My Attorney, Evan Livingstone, and his staff was extremely knowledgeable and very thorough to the point that they shut down the petitioners case with a SLAPP motion. They were reasonably priced for someone with knowledge of civil law and in the end we retrieved a motion for some of our attorney fees.. If I ever had to go through with something like this again Wade Litigation would be my first choice. read more

The team assigned Eric Schattl as my lawyer, and my GOD was he the biggest blessing and life saver. I co-owned property with my emotionally and financially abusive ex fiancé. When that relationship ended, I needed a lawyer to help me receive a buyout offer I rightfully deserved or pursue litigation. Eric didn't just help me escape a horrific situation, he stood up to my ex and his shady lawyer with integrity, diplomacy, and a level of professionalism I didn't think was possible within such circumstances. Eric is not just a master at work; he's a kind-hearted man who genuinely cares about the wellbeing and financial stability of his clients. Eric took the most challenging, gut-wrenching chapter of my life and alchemized it into a bright, new beginning full of promise and financial security. Anytime I called the front desk or the financial team, every member of the firm made me feel heard, safe, and valued. I can't thank Eric and the Wade Litigation team enough. And I will always recommend Eric to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation. read more
