They guided me through each step with clear communication and professionalism. They were well organized, responsive, and made a anxious time feel less stressful.

I especially appreciated how efficiently they handled the paperwork and court requirements. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing reliable and effective legal assistance.

I received mostly unhelpful service from Mr Les Paredes and the Law Offices of Stephen D Hamilton…read morein my divorce and child custody case. My case was very complex. Your experience may vary. Attorney Les Paredes is a very nice guy and eloquent speaker. I think this law firm may be better at servicing simple, straightforward legal cases that require less attention to detail or effort in order to achieve justice. My children and I needed robust, focused legal service from an attorney who genuinely deeply cared about achieving justice for my children and myself. It was very clear Attorney Paredes decided I wasn't a priority for him, potentially because - "the System" - has loopholes and flaws that were unjustly utilized against my children and their needs by my ex-spouse in dishonest, dirty tactics from the start. I believe achieving justice for my children was more work than it would have been worth for this firm. So, it seemed that my children and I were deemed a waste of time and were neglected. Attorney Paredes went completely dark without a word or response for weeks at a time while my ex-spouse's attorney was asking him for responses or to provide paperwork that he had committed to deliver. The flaws in the paperwork were persistent, even redundant, and frankly at times outright shocking, if they were prepared by Mr Paredes and not by my ex-spouse's attorney. It was embarrassing how badly my ex-spouse's attorney was running circles around Mr Paredes, purely from a fiduciary responsibility and client service perspective. However, I continued to be invoiced monthly as if I were a priority. I don't blame Mr Paredes for systemic flaws in civil law. However, I think Mr Paredes and the staff at The Law Offices at Stephen D. Hamilton do not not put in fair effort for their clients, or at least not for those who are in a contentious divorce or child custody battle like mine. Mr Paredes shouldn't have taken a challenging case if he didn't have the determination to give it commensurate effort. I have extensive, copious notes detailing what I believe any neutral third-party would agree was an ongoing highly unprofessional legal service well below what one should expect to receive when hiring a state licensed family law attorney. There is a very persistent pattern of negligence in services rendered in my detailed notes of phone calls and other correspondence with this law firm while their client. Further, the monthly invoices are difficult to cross-reference with the services rendered. If you need a reliable effort from your attorney and your divorce or child custody battle are very important to you, you will likely be better served by another law firm.

Attorney Josh Martin is a nice guy. However, I found that he wasn't a very good listener. His lack…read moreof concentration, focus, and listening skills severed my ability to achieve justice for my children and myself in my divorce case. I would see a "deer in the headlights" glazed eyes blank stare while I was conveying specifics of my case followed by legal advice that corroborated that he either didn't hear or misunderstood many of the specifics of what I was telling him. Mr Martin would go a week or more at a time without responding to questions that I asked over email. At one point, I asked Mr Martin in-person in his office why he didn't respond to my emails, he smirked and joked that he liked my "long emails, because they give me a lot of content to use for calculating billable hours." But, somehow, he seemed unaware of the details in the content when giving me legal advice, which was more troublesome than his glee in being able to rack up billable hours. I'm happy to pay someone handsome fees for fine work. That's when I realized I needed to look for a new attorney, which I did. But a lot of irreparable damage had already been done to my divorce and child custody case due to lack of attention, focus, and poor counsel received in the earliest days of my divorce case. My divorce case was complex. Your experience may vary. Edit: I later learned that Joshua Martin's paralegal is a former attorney from Cincinnati, Ohio who moved to the central coast of California after dishonorably losing his attorney's license in Ohio, per widely available court documents from Ohio Supreme Court. I don't want to shed light into that on here more than necessary to help other other parents make better informed decisions when assessing the family law attorneys available for hire in SLO County. Please read Ohio Supreme Court's documents by searching 'Michael Elliott Finucane divorce attorney and misconduct per Ohio Supreme Court' for more information on Joshua Martin's paralegal who was formerly an attorney. Specifically, Ohio Supreme Court states that "misconduct that resulted in this acceptance of respondent's [Michael Elliott Finucane] resignation [from the Ohio State Bar Association] with discipline pending". Mr Joshua Martin is a smart fellow. He hired a dishonored former attorney to be his paralegal. I believe I should have been made aware of the legal troubles of Mr Joshua Martin's paralegal while in my initial consultation.
