I had very extenuating circumstances. My divorce included division of a business, complicated further by assets with multiple names on title. Kennedy was really easy to communicate with. He has a way of explaining things "in plain English" that I really appreciated. I always felt well taken care of, and in my opinion, our divorce was processed efficiently and his representation was excellent. The few times we went to Court, Kennedy already knew the clerks and you could tell, he was in his element. I did not get a chance to work with his associate, but she is excellent, I am sure.

I recently wet to court and won my case! I used Koblin Family Law as my Counsel. Friends and Family told me never represent yourself as having a lawyer who deals exclusively with the Law is the only way moving forward when it comes to Life, Property, and children! It's just to deep an emotional, mental, and financial drain on your psych. Give yourself a break and get representation before The Court of Law . Don't hesitate to call Koblin Family Law Center. The Best move I ever made.

Kennedy Koblin literally fixed my life. I have no qualms about publicly posting I went through a tough divorce that involved family court. It was incredibly complex and emotionally difficult. Kennedy Koblin and his staff of support personal and attorneys have been knowledgeable, patient, professional and responsive. I can not recommend them enough.

Highly Recommend! I have nothing but positive things to say. Usually in life we hope to never find ourselves in a situation where we need a lawyer, however I could not be more grateful I found Tierney Law Group. Kent Tierney is professional, gracious, and will fight for you. When working with Kent, I could tell he is a man of integrity and could feel his genuine compassion for people. He is highly skilled in his field and I never doubted his expertise and judgement when handling my case. Personally, I am not an expert when it comes to legal knowledge. Kent was very patient, walked me through each step of the process, and made things clear and concise. He was always welcoming and never made me feel foolish for asking questions or for want I needed. He was honest and provided me with reasonable expectations and peace of mind throughout. In the end, Tierney Law Group resolved my case to my complete satisfaction with less stress and pain than I ever would have expected. Before hiring Tierney Law Group, I absolutely dreaded having to get a lawyer. Now, I cannot imagine a smoother process. I cannot thank Kent Tierney and his team enough for how they handled my case! If you need a lawyer, do not hesitate to go with Tierney Law Group, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend their team for Family Law, but I have no doubt they can do it all!

We were referred to Kent by a friend of a friend. He listened attentively to our situation and provided guidance and support through a very difficult process. We were extremely grateful to have his knowledge and expertise available to us. He always had our best interests in mind, even if it meant suggesting not to utilize him for certain things to save us money. We highly recommend Kent if you are looking for a knowledgeable lawyer who is personable and always looking out for your best interests.

I relocated to Asia in early 2016, unfortunately, my tenant started giving me headache after spending more than $8,000 on home improvement to make him happy. I hired a property manager to take care of my tenant, but my tenant started to intimidate me. The property manager suggested me to hire a lawyer to resolve issues. Finding an attorney was not a fun thing to do overseas, I am grateful that I found Kent (kudos to Yelp!). Our communication was done via emails and phone calls (date and time were always agreed before I called up) due to the time and location differences (Asia vs. America). I can see how busy he is and how small my case was (from attorney's point of view), however, he always responded to my emails in time and made time to talk to me over the phone. In addition, he has a menu price list, which gives me an idea how much to budget for the worse case scenario. My case was a bit complicated because both sides, tenant and landlord, did not fully understand the real estate law and contract law, it required a professional to make sure I did everything right, and my tenant had no right to do what he claimed "lawful". Kent suggested me to write the Vacate Letter myself, however, I would rather pay Kent to write and send the letter to resolve the issue "professionally" than save money. The case was resolved peacefully as I wished. I want to express my gratitude for his efforts and time. With his experience and knowledge of the law, I am no longer intimidated by nonsense.

Cristin Lowe was a great attorney for me, she helped me with my DVRO case that my soon to be ex was trying to file to gain custody of our kids. I came to her in such a mess and she assured me she could take my case and helped but I was still scared. The day of court she coached me before we walked in the court room and before I took the stand. I walked in with my attorney by my side feeling really good. Cristin was very direct and very prepared for the case. She asked the Plaintiff questions that I haven't thought of. Now we're finishing up my divorce, I'm very thankful for her and I thank god I found her. if I can give any advice it would be to get Cristin Lowe as your attorney you will be in GOOD HANDS. Not only is Cristin Lowe a great person to work with but words can't express her staff Josh and Vicki they are two of the best people you could ask for. Thank you Team Lowe.. Sakari Weekly

After taking my 400.00 as well as talking to an intake secretary who convinced me Lowe could help me, she told me she wouldn’t be able to because I wasn’t prepared for a lawyer yet. I had all my paperwork to show her that I was told to bring. I have never heard of a lawyer turning someone away. I was so impressed with all the videos she has prepared for the public, but upon meeting her I met a completely different person. So sad and disappointing.

Two reviews in one - how about that! The first one is about Cristin, then one for the office as a business itself. Cristin - She loves her job, something I could tell the first time we met or when things got tough and complicated in court. I had a difficult child and divorce case, of which Cristin handled with empathy, acumen, and awesome command of her legal team. In court, she is calm, collected, precise, yet aware of her surroundings. In my case, it might have been that the opposing legal team that was downright horrible at their job, because Cristin stood in stark contrast, showing respect for both parties, the judge, the case, while maintaining her pace. Initially I had thought that she would be expensive (since they're based in San Ramon), but her rate averages with the Bay Area's. Total cost-wise, your mileage may vary of course, but for me, it was worth it, even though I'm stress out monthly about how much I still owe for the entire case. Law of Office of Cristin M. Lowe - Nestled in a Bishop Ranch building, the law office is small, yet adequate. It's open and neither feels unwelcoming or warm. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If there was a downside, it's the feedback/communication loop between legal team, staff, and client. Mind you, during my case it was great, but it's the post-case service that suffers. Sometimes I'd call to ask a question and would be told that they'd call me back with answers; in my experience, it's been 65% response rate from the office. The finance/billing department is also another weak spot of the business, which is really why I deducted a star from this review. I'm on monthly auto-pay, but have run into times where I was double-charged, sent "pay now" or "overdue" messages even though I'm supposedly on auto-debit, and have had no alert communication from finance about interest being tacked-on to my outstanding account. Legal services naturally cost an arm and a leg, and the finance department should be on the ball in helping clients feel that they're still in control of their money.

Divorce is one of the worst experiences anyone can go through in life. The most important element to survival of divorce is representation by competent legal counsel. The Law Offices of Cristin Lowe and her firm of professionals is the right choice. Cristin and her team are compassionate, caring, and cost conscience while providing specialized legal expertise in family law. I would not have been able to endure the numerous challenges of my divorce without the stellar representation of Cristin Lowe, Traci Holian, associate, and her law office team, and wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone.

I gave Peter 2 stars before but now I have an update, I believe he is bipolar or take drugs. And watch out with his office staff they are super unpolite (they don't want anyone in there), they act cold and act like mommies reciting a script. AH and the receptionist, calls for the manager who is even worse. When I went to small claim courts I found out that he had not remove the eviction he initiated even when I told him the tenant had already gave me the keys, and I told him in an email and by the phone to remove the eviction. I am not sure, if he did this to create more chaos. or simply because he forgot. In any event, I am still considering suing this attorney for the default judgment that my tenant won, because of his lack of due diligence. Ah, and If you speak English as a second language he will not be kind or courteous. He told me that my English wasn't good enough, ??? I believe that he takes your money and then moves in a way to create more problems so he can continue on the case and when there is no more fight (as it was my case)he leaves you in the cold because there is no opportunity for more money.

We were searching for an Attorney for a Step Parent Adoption case. After interviewing several offices over the course of about 2 weeks we came across Chris. After seeing his reviews we reached out to Chris and it was the best choice we could have made. From the first conversation we knew immediately that we would be in good hands. Unlike other lawyers, Chris was very straightforward and honest from the beginning. He was straight to the point and focused on the facts. He was always reassuring and patient to answer all questions and concerns. Most important of all he was confident and he cared which for us is everything. Chris’ confidence and reassurance throughout the entire process allowed us to remain focused. Best way to communicate I found was via email which worked out for us beautifully. Thank you Chris for everything, from the bottom of the Perez Family’s hearts thank you! We are eternally greatful!

If you have to go through divorce, I strongly advise hiring The Law Offices of Steven Dinneen. The start of a divorce process is very intimidating. I had met with another law firm prior and did not get the same detailed information that would allow me to make the best decisions for my situation. I felt they could not represent me quite like Steven and Kevin could. Hiring Steven and Kevin was a great decision as they helped guide me through this painful process. Everything from correctly filing all the forms with the court, serving papers to my ex-wife and ensuring that my interests were protected under the law. Steven and Kevin told me all of my options and thoroughly explained the benefits and drawbacks of each. I am impressed with the office as it is very clean, organized and has professional knowledgeable staff. I found the best quality law office in San Jose and I plan to stick with them for all my family law matters until my child is 18 years old. I am very grateful of their services. If you have to go through divorce, I strongly advise hiring this firm.

Coming from a terrible attorney who did absolutely nothing for me to Steven was life-changing. I had a very dramatic and high conflicted custody case and would not have been able to get through it all without Steven and Faune. From the start, they were very honest about the process and time. Steven and Faune are straightforward, responsive, and dedicated to resolving any issues at hand. After seven years, my case is still handled with urgency and high importance when situations arise. This firm, all the way to the assistants, are very passionate and knowledgeable in what they do.

I honestly can't thank this firm enough for the help they gave me for one of the most stressful situations I have had to deal with in my life. My ex made things very difficult and tried to drag things out to make things hard and this team was extremely supportive of me and kicked butt getting things done and in a super timely manner. Katie Keeley and Derick Austin were in charge of my case. They were both very up front and straight shooters as far as what was realistic. I came into this scared and not knowing even where to start and I honestly don't think I could have picked a better team to represent me and I would recommend them to anyone. I will say, my only reservations when I came here in the beginning was this place is pretty pricey. I was very upfront on what I had to spend and they felt confident they could do everything in the retainer I paid. Well, we didn't even make it to court before my retainer was up and I noticed my invoice was a bit off with some stuff. When I asked about it, not only did they not make me feel bad at all, but he didn't argue anything with me at all. He looked over my stuff and was super helpful and I was very pleased with how he handled the situation. Derick Austin is genuinely a good person who takes care of his clients. Katie was extremely thorough, supportive and professional to me but was sharp and intense when I needed her to be. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for and I got everything I wanted, I got it quickly and I would absolutely use them again for any future needs I have. Honestly, their help was priceless and thank you for your help.

After my initial meeting with Vanessa, I felt much more grounded and breathed with relief. Not only are Vanessa and Alice so knowledgeable at what they do, they are also kind, and really supportive emotionally. They provided truthful and practical advice on how to proceed and were very patient every step of the way.

I don’t even know where to start here. I came to this law firm from a cheap attorney who was constantly messing up but luckily the person taking me to court had no case so I would win but never because of the attorney. When I was looking for a new firm I had a free consultation with Vanessa and after speaking to many others Vanessa really stood out with compassion and a professional caring attitude. When my court case went to family court months later i immediately thought of this firm. When I called to book Vanessa she was all booked up after some disappointment I was told that there is a whole team here and another attorney was available... Sara Driesen took my case and she was beyond amazing! She was a fighter in court... and my personal therapist haha. I can’t express how important Sara has been to my children and myself and everything we went after we got in court! Far exceeded what I thought was possible. My kids don’t have to deal with the issues they were put through for so long. Sara also helped me come up with payment arrangements when court started to stretch out, not to the fault of Sara but to a compulsive liar we were dealing with in court. I had a great job at a architectural firm and unfortunately the pandemic left me strapped financially Sara was always understanding. Lawyers are expensive and often court stretches longer than expected and you should be prepared for that.... just a tip. I will say that the billing was a bit inconsistent in terms of when I was receiving statements this could be the pandemic and the like and sometimes reading the bill was confusing but after a quick email they did great explaining it and helping me understand what I was looking at. Sara, Molly, Brianna, and daisy are all amazing these ladies are all responsible and great at communicating and I felt like I had an army by my side I love and thank you all! You all helped in more ways than you know. I am forever grateful.

I will start by saying that I never give bad reviews for a restaurant or really any services. I don’t believe in that as you never know what is going on with someone Individually or the owners trying to make a living. Being that this involves my children and other families that may be choosing Vanessa, I am compelled to review. I gave $5,000 and the team blew thru it by reviewing basic items for a divorce/family Case I was ABOUT to embark on. I didn’t even start officially in court. I saw the 5 stars and knew it was $450/hr so I thought “wow she must be good.” It was no different than if I paid $50/hr to a no name. She doesn’t care about the children, I can tell you that. It’s a job to her and wow does she charge for it. I got my small amount of retainer left and moving on. I am one of several that had similar experiences as me with her. Trust your intuition when choosing a lawyer for something as important as your babies. Don’t go by reviews or hourly rate.

I cannot begin to tell you how terrible my experience was with Lisa Mendes. It was my 1st time hiring an attorney and I cried after the case was over and felt so helpless and hopeless. She knew I was vulnerable and didn’t know anything about court or family law. These are people who are supposed to help you fight your case. I lost my case and to make matters worse, there was a conflict of interest with the opposing attorney. Apparently they knew each other. Please make sure you have a good sense of feeling about your attorney before paying them all your savings. MaKe sure all your questions and concerns are answered and not rushed. Are they truly explaining the case to you for you to understand? There’s a lot of legal lingo you won’t know but this should be explained, if you have a good attorney???? Do they really have your best interest at heart? Unfortunately in my case, I was doomed to begin with.

for not even 2 months of work on my case, $22500 in fees. They made is seem like they did so much work and it was such a basic case. Charged for things double triple times, because none of them even knew the status of my case at any time. Even opposing counsel mentioned they had know idea what they were doing especially with billing. Got no retainer back which I thought was illegal?? Also got charged for trust account replenishment which is NOT a bill I thought it was for work not yet done ?? Gave horrible legal advice which would have made a huge difference in my case if I listened to them. So glad i let them go
