I arrived at 6:15PM to fill out a short form about what I came here for, and I was paired up right at 6:30 to talk to one of the law students. He figured out my situation right away, and after talking to his supervisor, explained to me all the legal mumbo-jumbo I was dealing with, and outlined for me my courses of action. I was out of there in less than an hour and had all the information I needed to go forward with my case. Quick, professional, and willing to answer all of my questions! The attorneys-at-training and law students working here are great. If you ever have questions about work-related problems, this is the place to go! The Law Center is an especially important resource to Berkeley students and people who are at risk of being exploited in their workplace. The services come at no cost and aside from the clinics, you can call in to make an appointment. It is a bit far from campus for most students, but transportation (bus and BART) run right around the corner. There is no excuse!

After getting nowhere with Bay Area Legal Aid, I reached out to EBCLC during the first week of…read moreJanuary. I spoke with someone named Grace, who initially tried to send me back to Bay Area Legal Aid. I explained multiple times that I had already tried. There are at least eight different numbers that all reroute to the same line, and they do not accept walk-ins. You have to complete a phone intake first. I even went in person and was told the same thing. Grace acted like she genuinely cared. She walked me through steps to take and told me that if it didn't work, I should call her back and she would help me. I followed every step she gave me and kept her updated throughout January. By February, it took three separate attempts before she finally returned my calls. When she did, her tone was completely different. She was dismissive and told me they had more important clients to attend to. Then she referred me right back to Bay Area Legal Aid. The same place I had already explained I could not get through to. I felt upset and heartbroken. Why give someone hope and spend weeks telling them what to do if you had no real intention of helping? I made it clear that I had no other point of contact, which is why I had been reaching out consistently, but she said there was nothing she could do and referred me somewhere else again. This experience was frustrating, time consuming, and discouraging. I would not recommend this organization to anyone seeking real help or follow-through.

I selected East Bay Legal Services because they offered a standard 5-day process service with up to…read morefour service attempts. Initially, my experience was positive, they promptly filed my court documents, and I appreciated their quick work at the beginning of the process. Unfortunately, communication came to a complete stop after that. Over the following month, I sent multiple follow-up emails, made several phone calls, and left a voicemail requesting an update on the status of my service request. Despite these efforts, I generally received no response and no information regarding whether service attempts had been made or what the next steps would be. I understand that service of process is not always straightforward and that delays can occur. My concern was not the delay itself, but the lack of communication. Even a brief update would have been appreciated and would have given me confidence that my case was still being handled. Because I was unable to obtain any solid information after more than a month, I ultimately decided to retain another process server to avoid further delays in my court matter. I hope the company improves its communication with clients, as timely updates are especially important when people are relying on process service for legal proceedings.

A…read moretrue Oracle, gentleman and human being, who will push aside his personal life to make sure your urgent family situation (missing children!) is addressed -- even on Christmas Day. My wife physically assaulted me while on a court-ordered a EPO and then abducted my children the week before Christmas for a month. Bob spent four hours during Christmas Day with me laying out everything I would need to know and he was later proved to be 100% accurate on every single word that came out of his mouth. Bob is truly a nice guy. I don't think he'll ever retire because he loves what he does and he provides such a strong value to the local families who urgently need his expertise navigating the challenging family court situation often for the first time. I tried to find an attorney several days before Christmas and the entire industry was out of service until the second week of January. I believe my wife took my children that week specifically to make it very challenging for me, but Bob stepped up and saved the day in a huge way. I could ramble on for hours about how Bob and Carolyn are consummate professionals, and how they changed my perspective on family lawyers. Bob and Carolyn secured 50% parental access for me within three weeks. The opposing firm told my wife to run away with our kids after removing them from the home and was using every tactic in the book, but Bob played hardball in the most professional way during the most important time in my entire life. He stepped up like an athlete during the Olympics and I forever will love Bob.

I'm also very grateful to Bob for helping me navigate through a very challenging time in my marriage.
