From day one, they've treated me like family--always kind, supportive, and welcoming. Denise is funny, straight to the point, and most importantly, honest. She doesn't sugarcoat anything; she tells you how it is and goes above and beyond to help. Gina is just as wonderful--professional, caring, and always there when you need her. Their dedication and compassion make a stressful process so much easier. I know many lawyers who recommend Denise, and after my experience, I completely understand why. Highly recommend them both

I walked out because if I wanted to feel worse with No clear answers, I would have stayed in that marriage, that I am trying to divorce. Some of these reviews go back 13 YEARS and yet I was still treated with condescending, hurtful comments and no clear answers on anything, only thing that was clear was her defending herself when it wasn't needed or asked for or necessary. SMH... Next time make sure you hang up a phone before you call someone stupid... I have it on my VM and it's you and your voice. Period. Unbelievable.... I went here for "Help" period. I got no answers and was meet with hostile nonsense. So unfortunate

Her delay, many mistakes on her part, failure to give clear directions and snotty attitude have caused me a great deal of stress. I also had to communicate with my soon to be ex-husband again and again due to her errors and delay. Prior to hiring her we hadn't had to communicate in over 6 months. The whole reason I hired her was so that I wouldn't have to speak with him. She was so rude when I had to ask her question after question because she wasn't clear. This is not the first time I've worked with a Paralegal. Absolutely horrible experience! Please, for your peace of mind, DO NOT hire her. She can respond with whatever excuse she wants but I would never work with her again.

Update: I received…read moreMarizen's private message and her request to edit or remove my review--this request was notably left off her public comment as noted in the screenshot attached. Since the 2 stars (which equates to the "[service] could've been better") were due to the unprofessionalism and inattentiveness shown (not due to her being an LDA), I have no reason to change my rating or delete my review. TL;DR: Marizen is NOT a lawyer. She is a Legal Document Assistant that cannot provide you with legal advice. She is a significantly affordable option for a Living Trust but she is unprofessional and has poor attention to detail-- key characteristics that are paramount to detailing an important document. Details: I left a Living Trust inquiry via her site and Marizen emailed me back within 1 day to "text" her back for a scheduled over-the-phone consult. Upon speaking with Marizen it was clear she did not take the time to review the few questions I had sent her in my initial inquiry as she was confused as to what the consult would primarily be regarding. Her rates were significantly less than what other competing services were offering which raised an orange flag for me. Upon further research, I realized Marizen was NOT a lawyer, but rather a "Legal Document Assistant (LDA)." According to the CA Attorney General, LDAs cannot give legal advice. This was my first encounter with an LDA, which allowed me the opportunity to do the necessary research to make a more educated investment. Had Marizen gotten back to me with the necessary next steps and questionnaire as she had promised (it's been over 1.5 weeks), I may have considered her as a possible option to complete my Living Trust needs. But if you are looking for a more affordable option, perhaps Marizen is a good fit for you.

I write this review with the excitement to share my amazing experience with Maya. Maya's attention…read moreto detail, skills, experience and care for the client, was the main reason why I got both my kids back. As I battled an unfair restraining orders, custody battles of two kids with two different mothers and experiencing the vast confusion of the court system and laws. Maya was there to educate me, guide me, and make me understand each step of the way. At the end of my long battles in court, I finally got the results I wanted, I get to see my two girls, no restraining orders, and have a fair 50/50 share custody with my kids. My daughters call her, their super hero. They always tell me that, if anything happens to us, we can always call Maya! This may sound a little cheesy, but coming from my girls, this means TRUST. We know we can always count on Maya. Her experience and her care for her clients is exceptional! She response fast and is always clear with her explanations. Her quality of work is clean and precise. We thank Maya for keeping our family together! I highly recommend to hire Maya! You will NOT regret it!

From the owner: Maya Grey is a passionate family law attorney who specializes in helping individuals navigate some…read moreof the most difficult and painful experiences of their lives. She handles all issues related to divorce, legal separation, and parentage actions, including matters related to child custody, child support, spousal support, and complex property division. She also helps clients wanting assistance with pre-marital and post-marital agreements. Additionally, Maya serves as a consulting attorney for clients in mediation and those seeking a second opinion. Maya is a fierce advocate for her clients, and will stand up for their best interests in court and in negotiations with the other side. However, she believes that the best and most cost-efficient outcome is when a negotiated settlement can be reached outside of court. Therefore, she works hard to avoid litigation unless it is necessary. Maya tells her clients what they need to hear, and not necessarily what they want to hear, in order to help them achieve the best results for their case. Prior to founding Grey & Associates Family Law, Maya practiced for over 7 years at the highly respected firm Blum, Gibbs, Davies & Owen, LLP. Maya taught second and third grade for 5 years prior to attending law school. She received both her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Masters in Education from UCLA.

Mr. Doyle was the first attorney that set up a time to talk to me that night. He was very prompt, answered all my questions and told me that he would take my case. He was very understanding about my case and honestly I felt like he really cared. I was not wrong in picking Mr. Doyle for my attorney. For the next several months Mr. Doyle picked up my call or called me right back every time I called him. He talked to me when I thought I could not go on any longer. He was compassionate and understanding every time I spoke with him. He informed me right away if there were ever any changes in my case. Sometime I felt as though I was talking to a good friend and not my attorney. He charged me for his services and nothing more. I never felt as though he over charged for hidden fees or things I could have done myself. He does not ramble on the phone just so he can charge for an hour phone call. He is direct and to the point. I always feel as though he answers all of my questions and I'm never feeling lost or confused. Everytime I took Mr. Doyles advise, my case turned out as expected. He is very knowledgeable in family law. I honestly don't know what I would have done without him. I felt as though he really saved my life. I am so glad I hired him as my attorney. If you need an attorney, look no further, Mr. Doyle is the best.

If I could give negative stars I would. Know that this comes from a professional licensed person…read moreand these are just the facts. DO NOT CALL BEN KEIZER. This completely unprofessional dude came highly recommended from an attorney I was already working with. So I felt comfortable calling them. As a licensed professional, this hearing and criminal charge was a big deal and could have had huge impacts on my life and career. I spoke to him on a Monday or a Tuesday and I had a hearing scheduled for the following Monday. He wanted the entire fee upfront. I simply didn't have all of it. I told him I could give him a substantial down payment and could pay him the entire fee within a couple weeks. He explained how he had such respect for my profession as he had worked in my field in the past. He assured me he was with me and was going to help me. He told me he would call my by the end of the week with a payment arrangement he would accept. So I relaxed. I didn't call anyone else. By Friday I hadn't heard from him. I was very anxious but I just trusted he would keep his word. After all, he was a recommendation from another attorney with whom I liked and had experience with. On Saturday, I tried to call his office because I had received no communication from his office whatsoever. No calls. No emails. Nothing. So I was able to find another attorney on a weekend who took my case and she was amazing. This guy began calling me Monday morning at the same time the hearing was taking place. He did not do what he said. He lied to me. He ignored my situation. His communication is so unprofessional that it is non-existent. If you value yourself, your case, your money, your time, and your respect, run as fast as you can away from this law firm!!

The difficult assignments that would normally cause stress are handled with confidence and efficiency, and I always know my cases are in good hands. Having a reliable process server is invaluable in this profession, and Dimitrius has earned my complete trust. I can't recommend him and Sleuth Process Servers highly enough.

The lady knows her stuff and is worth every penny. She's been in the game for 40 years, and in my opinion, experience matters.

In the courtroom I felt well prepared by Anne, and she didn't miss a beat. She is incredibly skilled at knowing when to speak up and when to hold back. She is whip smart, and excellent listener and has a laser sharp read on people. I would not want to be opposing counsel against her. She arrives calm and prepared, and has a firm handle on what the judge needs to see to rule in your favor. I'm not just thrilled that we won; I've been genuinely impressed with Anne's capability and professionalism throughout the whole process. She is responsive, prompt, and will go out of her way to let you know how to keep costs down. Without hesitation, I give Anne Bonfiglio and everyone I interacted with my gratitude and highest recommend! Thank you for being on my team, Anne!!!
