They did a great job with my divorce. They really worked hard to keep drama at a minimum. I feel like they had the best interest of my kid and mind and advised me fully on all of my options. They managed my ex well even though he did not have representation. Also, they navigated COVID with great communication.

Thank you Puja, Andrella and Eloisa for being professional, reliable and knowledgeable in helping me to get to a peaceful place about my divorce. A divorce is never an ideal situation and these ladies understand this well. They are consistently available, efficient and represented my interest well at every hearing. They are proactive in their approach in checking for new filings so there are never any surprises at the hearings. These ladies go above and beyond to make things easy for me during that challenging time. I highly recommended Sachdev Legal Group as their expertise and professionalism is unmatched. Love these ladies. Thank you for everything.

Sachdev Legal Group made my divorce as easy and painless as possible and was so professional and outstanding through the whole process. I first contacted Puja for a consultation when I was considering filing and she provided sound advice that proved extremely helpful when initially filing. The whole team at the practice was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely responsive through all the paperwork and the entire divorce. One way the team went above and beyond was to send cards or emails with their business updates and words of encouragement during COVID when the courts closed down. I thought this was a wonderful extra thing to keep spirits up during a difficult time. I would absolutely work with Sachdev Legal Group again and would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of Family Law assistance.

I reached out to the Sachdev legal group for resolving a messy situation. Any situation that requires you to hire attorneys is an emotionally charged situation making it challenging to see clearly. The paperwork is daunting and it takes time to understand the terms. My case was no exception at the very least. While Andrella and Puja handled the case and often guided me. Eloisa was my interface into the firm. She deftly managed my paper work and answered all my never ending questions. Eloisa translated legal terminology and requirements in simple terms. More than anything the entire firm was respectful, patient, and a beacon of tranquility in a bad situation. If you find yourself in a situation where you need lawyers I strongly urge you to give Sachdev Legal group a call.

First, Thank you to both attorneys Andrella Gonzalez and Puja sachdev for helping me and standing up to my ex husband. Second Thank you Eloisa Rodriguez for taking my calls with a smile and being best at your profession. The entire team was extraordinary knowledgeable with my divorce case. Also Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa cared and I felt thier sincerity towards me when I was emotionally not doing well. My Ex husband goal was to destroy me emotionally and to drag me in court to not sell the house....etc but at the end Andrella Gonzalez @Sachdev legal group got me everything and helped me to get through the divorce and still on my side incase my ex wants to retaliate. I felt the office charges ???? were reasonable for the work that they had to put into my case, worth every penny. They are the best divorce attorneys can anyone have and I felt blessed to have them as my attorneys ????????. Thank you again Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa. Amal

This firm is incredible! From the front desk staff to the attorneys, everyone makes you feel right at home in your most troubling times. In particular, my interactions with attorney Leo Arzumanyan have been fantastic. Leo is attentive, responsive and highly motivated. Above all else, Leo has a knack for impeccable legal writing. If you’re in need of attorneys who will dedicate their time to winning, I strongly recommend hiring the law firm of Antonyan Miranda.

I needed some legal advice and got a recommendation to call Ramona (Tumber). She was attentive and patient and her advice was informed and clear. I couldn't understand all of the options I had accessible to me and she laid everything out in a way even I could understand. A fantastic experience even if the call was for something less than ideal.

I reached out to Concierge Attorney Ramona Tumber for some help on a personal legal matter. She was so helpful and she's got such a positive can-do attitude. She asked me specific questions that expanded my thinking and led to other options for addressing my problem. I recommend her for anyone needing some help with personal/family related legal advice.

Ramona K. Tumber Esq. Is fantastic to work with. Legal family issues are difficult. Ramona listens and then brings her professional knowledge and energetic follow through to bear in resolving your issues promptly and effectively. I recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney with integrity.

Alicia is PHENOMENAL! She was very quick to take my call and get me the help I needed. She is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend giving this firm a call. Their team is very knowledgeable.

I have used this firm three times in 10 years. Five stars each time. Divorce in 2010 with David representing me, then a property dispute with my ex in 2016 that worked out very favorably for me, and finally in helping me with a prenup (no jokes about not learning my lesson). Kyle is an easy going "surfer dude" who knows his stuff. When my fiance's lawyer wanted to add language at the last minute, he made a very reasonable and convincing argument (in front of that other lawyer) that was a slam dunk for my side. I hope I never need their services again but I would definitely recommend them. If you hire them, they are on your side and not trying to gouge you with superfluous "lawyer" billings.

I had Kyle as my attorney and he was absolutely amazing! I am so beyond thankful to have chosen him as my attorney! He explained everything to me that was going on through my Family Court Case.. I have recommended them to other parents going through Custody battles.. I will keep recommending him as well! Amazing people work there for sure!

After calling three or more other family law attorneys, and after explaining my situation, their response was "that my situation was one that they were not familiar with"or as one put it "would not know where to start", I was very relieved to have found Wilkinson & Finkbeiner. From the moment of my first call to the friendly and knowledgeable office person, who was able to understand my unique situation and also explained that Mr. Wilkinson had just recently had a case similar to mine, told me she was confident that he could help. When I received a call back from Mr. Wilkinson to explain my case, he was very understanding of my exact situation, and upon his reassurance I knew I had found an attorney who not only knew how to handle my child support case but who I had the utmost confidence that he was able to help me. From start to finish of my case, I was kept up to date with all of the information, court dates and court documents, as the case progressed. I am deeply grateful for Mr. Wilkinson and the law office staff for helping me in obtaining my past due, back child support from over 24 years. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for the best Family Law Attorneys in San Diego!!

Me and my husband were served papers from my 11 year old daughters father who had NEVER been involved with her EVER, but in between stints in prison, all of a sudden wanted custody and visitation. Went to court 3 times, due to him being arrested numerous times during the court proceedings. Finally we decided to get a lawyer to stop playing these games. We met Scott, and IMMEDIATELY knew we picked the right lawyer!! He ABSOLUTELY killed it in court, and actually got his RIGHTS TERMINATED......which in California is extremely difficult. If I can tell anyone who needs help, CALL SCOTT and JUSTINE!!!! They are the most honest and hardworking lawyers EVER!!!! I know that my situation is unique, but SCOTT AND JUSTINE ARE AMAZING!!!!! THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY FAMILY!!!!! ????????????

I would recommend Scott in an instant. He is extremely competent, intelligent, creative, and a pleasure to work with. I think a good attorney is one you are pleased with and have no complaints about. A great attorney is one that you don't ever want to have working against you. Scott is the latter. You are fortunate to have found him.

I had great expectations for Ben and his crew, but what I got was subpar legal representation to say the least.. Sons mom filed a move away request out of the blue, and at first I was even contemplating whether, or not to even hire an attorney,because her allegations were so farcical, over the top, completely untrue, unfounded, and unbelievable. but with so much at stake I decided I would play it safe, and just pay the professionals. From the start I had questions about what was going on with my case, Ben, and his crew, are good at making invoices , and running up the bill, but they will not work for you. During the months leading up to the,” $8000 dollar train wreck”. I was never prompted for evidence, I was never called I had to voluntarily scan, and PDF evidence over to his office on my own, sometimes I would get a confirmation email, other times I would not. I asked if I could bring my emails, pictures, and text messages in for them to scan, and build my case file, but they fully took advantage of the COVID-19 restrictions saying, “ they weren’t allowing people personal visits into the office, because of the COVID”. This was another way they could focus on bringing in new retainer fees, and focus on the money aspect of it, opposed to the defense, and actual representation aspect of it. Guys do not hire these people, they will loose your case, you have been warned. On the day of the evidentiary hearing, evidence linking mom to illicit activities, gambling, and prescription drug abuse, was not presented. In addition threats made to me by other parties on moms side, like death threats, threats to come to my house, pictures of new gun purchases, and people holding them,that were sent to me, were not presented at the hearing. Upon cross examining me, Ben repeatedly asked me questions related to corporal punishment of my son, and stepson, the purpose of which, I still have not figured out. In the end the Judge ruled capriciously , chopping up family code section “ 3040” , while Ben just sat there like a deer in the headlights. I lost the half custody of my son, to a person with a history of bad child parenting, with a history of violent convicted felons, and drug addicts in the home. My exhibit list was virtually non existent, very few documents, half irrelevant, the other half of the exhibits indiscernible. Instead of quickly discrediting mom, and mounting a solid defense, against, a "I said so therefore, it must be allegation", Ben was unprepared, and made us both look bad. If O.J. Simpson was found not guilty again for another murder, it would not be more egregious, it could not be anymore off base than the train wreck that Ben, and his “ wrecking crew”, managed to create for me. Unbelievably there is more, In the end I asked them, “ to file a substitution of attorney”, with the court so that I could get get their incompetent rear ends off my case, and of course they dragged their feet for another two weeks, and I was not able to file a “peremptory challenge” in time, to ask for a new judge for my upcoming motions. I was very nice, and did not bother them, while they were on my case, in fact, this is the first time I have expressed my frustration with them They did not put the work in that they billed me for, and therefore, Ben was unprepared for what should have been an easy case, a case that was textbook example of what female on male domestic violence looks like. "I said so, so therefore it must be evidence". I paid $8000 dollars,and it made my problem much.much worse. Horrible job!

Embry Family Law jumped in when my regular attorney was not available (due to a conflict in schedule), and handled my Ex Parte matter perfectly. I know the attorneys and staff personally, and I see how diligent they are working for their clients, trying to provide the best possible outcome, every single day.

I used Embry Family Law for a child custody/support case... couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my legal issues! Ben and Nicholas worked on my case over a year due to the pandemic shutting down the court system. Regardless of what was happening, they continued to push forward till they were able to resolve my case. I will continue to use Embry Family Law for future family legal issues and highly recommend everyone do so as well!

Working with Ben Embry was great. He's very professional, responsive, and was always available to answer any questions I had. His team is also amazing and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would recommend Embry Family Law to anyone!

This firm represented the other party yet made me feel just as important when it came to my questions! The paralegal Nicholas was beyond helpful! I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing firm. They made the divorce process painless! Thank you!

Is not worth it.you would gr any helpers.just waste your money and time .No body care about your case. Find some where else. But is not here. You will like me . Spend a lot money ????????. Is nothing worth it.you will lose you case and your Money's.

I highly recommend Tara Yelman and her team. I used Yelman & Associates in my divorce. She was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her billing to be transparent and highly efficient. I found her to always be better prepared than her opposing counsel. She was always the one to recommend creative ways to resolve negotiation sticking points. And her knowledge of the law and judicial procedure in court was outstanding -- helping to shorten the process and work with me and my ex to find solutions that worked for both of us. Even after the proceedings, she has provided ongoing guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post divorce -- which has been crucial in helping my family move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend.

Hands down all the way for Tara Yelman. She was g-d sent. A true attorney who wants the best for their client. I've met with other lawyers prior to retaining her. There are a lot of attorneys who are just there for your money and don't want to work hard including after hours, holidays, weekends. They just want to settle and take the easy way out. Unlike, Tara she put her 110% into your case and her expert advice is incredible. She's worth every PENNY! She works nights, weekends and even holidays if there is something serious. Remember folks, stuff happens when its after "office hours" or you get served for an Emergency hearing on Friday at 4 pm to appear in court on Monday or Tuesday morning. You have to be ready for whatever comes your way! Tara ,you are the best including your right hand Geoff and others!!

I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years. I've seen the quality of the arguments made on my behalf and Sara always had clear thoughts and rational behavior with opposing counsel and the court. The team at Yelman did great work. Most important in this process is the cost. Clients are often driven apart by their lawyers, which benefits only the firms involved. Trust me -- I experienced this before Yelman, as did my ex. Sara did not inflame for the benefit of further court actions (and therefore fees). She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions. Moving to Yelman over the past 4 years was the best financial choice I made over this extraordinarily challenging phase of my life. I am so grateful for their representation and guidance, and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.

    I highly recommend Tara Yelman and her team. I used Yelman & Associates in my divorce. She was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her billing to be transparent and highly efficient. I found her to always be better prepared than her opposing counsel. She was always the one to recommend creative ways to resolve negotiation sticking points. And her knowledge of the law and judicial procedure in court was outstanding -- helping to shorten the process and work with me and my ex to find solutions that worked for both of us. Even after the proceedings, she has provided ongoing guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post divorce -- which has been crucial in helping my family move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend.

    Hands down all the way for Tara Yelman. She was g-d sent. A true attorney who wants the best for their client. I've met with other lawyers prior to retaining her. There are a lot of attorneys who are just there for your money and don't want to work hard including after hours, holidays, weekends. They just want to settle and take the easy way out. Unlike, Tara she put her 110% into your case and her expert advice is incredible. She's worth every PENNY! She works nights, weekends and even holidays if there is something serious. Remember folks, stuff happens when its after "office hours" or you get served for an Emergency hearing on Friday at 4 pm to appear in court on Monday or Tuesday morning. You have to be ready for whatever comes your way! Tara ,you are the best including your right hand Geoff and others!!

    I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years.

I want to thank Siobhan Curley for helping me settle an issue literally over night. She stepped in when I needed support and walked me through the steps I needed to take to remedy an issue. She was kind, clear, and very knowledgeable about the law. After we met, I completed the steps she told me to take and the issue was resolved the very next morning! I can't thank her enough. She is such an intelligent and supportive human being. Immediately after we spoke, I felt calmer and more in control of the situation. Please reach out to her if you need legal advice, she is incredible!

Working with Michael S. Steiner at Goldberg Jones made my life a lot easier while navigating through the difficult waters of a very complicated and challenging divorce. Michael is not only a great professional he also has a personal touch that was very much appreciated throughout this ordeal. I strongly recommend Michael should you face marital separation.

Michael Steiner is a phenomenal attorney. He was very responsive and proactive throughout my divorce process. Frequent updates ensured I always stayed informed and there was never a lull in communication. The process was a bit drawn out becuase of covid but Attorney Steiner is durable and educated. Thank you again for the guidance and great results.

I want to thank Goldberg Jones for their help with my situation, especially Michael S. Steiner, Esq. he is a down to earth guy, professional and outstanding at his job, he helped me and guided me through the whole process. Guys, I really recommend them, they are in our corner and not only helping but defending us!! Thank you very much Michael S. Steiner, Esq. for all your help and guidance!!

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS! I initially spoke to Zephyr Hill who agreed to be my attorney. However, when he sent me the retainer agreement he switched me without notice to Michael Steiner- WHO IS A HORRIBLE ATTORNEY! I should have dropped them then. Basically Steiner would respond to emails and phone calls sporadically at best and when you speak to him he seems to have his mind elsewhere. The last straw was when he agreed to file an ex parte on my behalf, however, after I followed up with him days later he tells me " I decided not to file it." No explanation for not communicating this to me. I will be filing a complaint with the state bar. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

Highly recommend the team of professionals at Primus. I'm an active duty service member and they worked hard and were very realistic and attentive to my case. I got my kids back after the navy sent me away and my ex went to mork on me. Definitely worth every penny and I was able to win my case all due to the support and work my lawyer and her paralegal i won't name drop them but they rock. I would Absolutely recommend them to anyone going the a divorce or custody battle.

Kimberly is very professional and hard working. I didn’t think I would have a chance of getting my daughter back. Kimberly fought hard. She is always responsive and caring. She was always aggressive and strong in the court. I was very lucky to have her fight by my side. I will never forget her. I followed Kimberly from her previous firm. I made sure to have Kimberly. I was impressed and comfortable with her. The case ended well. I have been living my happiest days alongside my daughter. Thank you Kimberly!

Highly recommend Primus Family Law group! They were patient with my lack of knowledge and worked with me to achieve expected results. Kimberly Soule Esq. was a pleasure to work with and an absolute pro. Hopefully will not need legal guidance in the future, but if I do, they will be the first call.

Worst law firm I have ever dealt with! Represented my daughter for two ten minute hearings. Came totally unprepared, did not defend my daughters position at all! Paid $4000 for the twenty minutes of representation and fired them! Then they sent my daughter a $2500 bill on top of that. Insane!

Bonnie is awesome. She came highly recommended and I was impressed with her divorce podcast. Bonnie explained every step of the process and answered all my questions. Bonnie cares about her clients. She is experienced and very knowledgeable on the law. Bonnie and the Primus Family Law staff worked to finalize everything for me, easily and speedily.

Don’t take Julie O Wolf’s sweet voice and demeanor for granted she is a beast in the courtroom. She will fight for you like no other. I’ve worked with many attorneys regarding my dissolution and no one can compare to her tactfulness against opposing council. She just, GETS IT no need to prep her up she does all the work and formulates a plan and executes! Thank you Julie.

Julie is an exception Lawyer who has been of tremendous help to me! I was dealing with a very long and complicated divorce/child custody/child support case previously with another firm. They did not provide me with the help I needed. I am SO thankful that I found Julie to take over the case! She has been fantastic at negotiations, and has really explained everything in detail to me all along the way. I highly recommend her services!

Julie was wonderful during my case. I had an unusual situation and Julie was clear on how the outcome may play out. She does not sugar coat anything and fights tooth and nail for the protection of the child and encourages her clients to make rational and healthy decisions during their case. After being an emotional wreck (which she could of probably charged me a mental health service fee????) I was able to settle and have the most time with my son as possible. Highly recommended.

It was pleasure working with Julie Wolff. I was dealing with an out of state child support case and she made it less stressful for me. She was very responsive, transparent and didn’t make me feel bad for asking the many questions I had. Thank you Julie!

ZERO STARS ACTUALLY!!! I reached out to Julie Wolff to represent me in court so I can file for 50/50 custody of my children, modify visitation, and modify child support. She sent me an intake form to fill out which I had filled out same day and sent it back. Julie followed up with me to have a 20 minute consultation. Julie is not my first lawyer and I have never heard of a 20 minute consultation. After she quickly ended that phone call her main concern was how she was accepting first payment or retainer. I told her multiple times on the phone that my insurance covers my payment in full for custody and visitation. I told her, the only thing I would have to pay is for child support and that is a reduced rate of 25% of regular rate bye attorney. Along with me explaining that to her verbally I also emailed her all of my case assist confirmation numbers MULTIPLE TIMES. These numbers pull up my case and EXPLAIN WHAT I AM COVERED UNDER AND HOW PAYMENT OF ATTONEY FEES WORK FROM MY INSURANCE. My insurance also advices any attorneys that do not know the coverage for said plan member to call direct and they will happily assist them in what is covered. This was too much for Julie to do and she asked that I call to verify what she will be payed and too email her with what they say. Aside from what I am covered under, I also said I don't care what I need to pay or how much it will cost I just need to get the ball rolling for my paperwork, because everyday that goes bye is affecting my children. Still did not matter. She kept requesting papers that I have emailed to her 3 different times at this point, and would not accept a phone call, text message or physical appointment to straighten the confusion out. What she did instead was email me the same email three different times requesting what I have already sent her. SEE MY FRUSTRATION!!!??? Julie did not try helping, calling, or explaining anything to me to try and get her what she needs. She felt sending the same email two more times (which clearly was in confusion) was the best and most professional way of handling that, thus leading me to not even accept her as an attorney being as difficult as she was. When people seek out Attorneys I personally do not feel that whomever they choose to represent them, should make they're life simply more difficult with no clear direction. In my benefit she made it very easy for me to know what kind of Attorney I am looking for, so, Thank you Julie Wolff... I see you come back at people with negative reviews and attack their character thus proving my point of unprofessionalism. please don't attack my character this was a review of your work ethic and how you handle your Law Firm. STEP IT UP!!! Please do not try saying that I am a "BOGUS SCAMMER" either, I am very real.

I absolutely recommend Yvonne Rizzo for family legal services!! With an already burdening schedule, I was in and out of court with my children's mother consistently. Repeated motions for ridiculousness. My attempt was to be reasonable. However, after a completely false narrative and even a restraining order I felt as the court would believe anything they were told. After contacting Yvonne, I was not only relieved to have her caring and professional legal services on my side, I was impressed by the ability to finally be stress free and focus on my schedule, knowing I had yet another court date. I am thankful for the time, effort, and concern Yvonne put into my case. After a complete success in court, I cannot thank Yvonne enough. I not only recommend Yvonne, I have no doubt that for any future matters with my divorce, I'll simply call my attorney. Thanks Yvonne!!

Ms. Rizzo provided excellent legal services for our family. From the first meeting you know that you are in competent and caring hands. Her responsiveness to phone calls and emails instills great confidence. No one seeks legal advice lightly. We received expert legal advice. I recommend her services without reservation.

She is an awesome Father Advocate lawyer. Hard working very dedicated and honest Attorney.

Yvonne Rizzo is always available to talk to about my case. She maintains the highest level of professionalism and cares deeply about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.

I highly recommend Yvonne Rizzo Family Law Attorney to anyone not being treated fairly in the courtroom and in need of Legal Representation. I have been going through family law for a year now with 9 months of no legal representation. Eventhough I was no threat to my child and the mother is an alcoholic with prior DUI's just got arrested for a DUI, the court granted her full sole and physical custody and for me 10% visitation with 0% sole legal or physical custody. For the first 9 months I was constantly getting mistreated in the courtroom eventhough there were hard evidence of proof and proof of lies against the opposing party due to a bias judge. Out of the 9 months the mother of my child withheld my daughter from me for 5 months. During the 5 months I filed 3 ex-parte hearings due to visitation violation of court orders and safety concerns with proof and still got dismissed, 1 hearing was cancelled and not even heard by the judge stating it's " Not an emergency". Since i hired Atty. Rizzo, not only was I able to be heard without being turned away but she was able to get me visitations with my daughter again after 5 months but with more time and days with overnights too. I now have 35% visitation with 4-5 days every week with my daughter and looks to get better from here on. Thank you Mrs. Rizzo.

The firm is the definition of excellence. My case was handled professionally, aggressively, and with compassion. I am extremely grateful, thanks especially to Megan Vito!

I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients and their best interest.

Lindsay is the best attorney in San Diego very passionate about her job. Works very well goes above and beyond. If you want the best she is the person to go to.

It's a great thing that I have called Fair Cadora first. I didn't expect them to be this good. They are very friendly and professional. Excellent communication, we had the most ideal outcome. Thank you, you are the best.

Kevin and team are highly motivated and passionate about what they do. Family law & divorce situations can be tiring and very stressful for all parties involved. The level of care and compassion they put into each individual case is bar none and truly what sets them apart. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. If you or a family member have been contemplating divorce, I highly recommend reaching out to Kevin to see what he’s able to do for you.

    I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients and their best interest.

    It's a great thing that I have called Fair Cadora first. I didn't expect them to be this good. They are very friendly and professional. Excellent communication, we had the most ideal outcome. Thank you, you are the best.

Mr. Cook represented me after learning my ex forged my signatures in divorce documents and filed in CA when neither of us lived there so CA had no jurisdiction. It was an open and shut case. I hired a handwriting expert who found that the signature was not mine and Mr. Cook mailed my ex a hearing notice. I was not confident that the address I had for him was current so I asked Mr. Cook to email him as well (he said he would and never did). his communication is terrible and he isn’t organized. Hearing date comes and I’m embarrassed by the way Mr. Cook stammers over his words and poorly articulates hisself. The judge sets a new court date because my ex didn’t appear and she wants proof that he was notified (Mr. Cook insists that he was and says he has proof but a few weeks later tells me that he actually received the letter back in the mail). a week before the new hearing Mr. Cook tells me he is going to mail out the hearing notice, I tell him it should’ve been mailed out there isn’t enough time, he insists it will be delivered next day knowing the address is in Afghanistan... I tell him he needs to email my ex who responded and Mr. Cook had a lengthy (the bill for it was pretty high and I would not have wanted him to even do more than just notify him) conversation with my ex on the phone then proceeded to tell me that my ex doesn’t know we are notifying him late and as long as the judge doesn’t mention it that I will be fine. My ex shows up to the next court date and the matter is settled. The judge ruled in my favor on the forgery but no thanks to Mr. Cook. My ex admitted it was not my signature. The judge did not rule for my ex to have to pay my legal fees. Mr. Cook tried to argue with the judge who shut him down because he didn’t properly file his paperwork so the court couldn’t rule on any other matter. I ended up paying so much for the hand writing expert which the judge requested to be there for the second case but only because my ex didn’t show up... the expert didn’t even have to testify at the second date and all of his fees. DO NOT HIRE HIM!

Attorney Andy Cook and his team of professionals were the best. Going through a divorce is stressful to say the least. With Andy in my corner I felt like a winner. At the end of divorce I was. Always prepared and motivated he removed a lot of my worries. A true General in the battlefield of litigation. Thanks Andy, can’t say enough. Just glad it’s over.????

Mr. Cook's high level of knowledge and experience was clear from the start. Mr. Cook was able to quickly analyze all the important matters and was able to timely and competently resolve a challenging case. Maintaining a high level of professionalism, Mr. Cook's focus was always on fairly resolving issues and disputes, never allowing potential emotional pitfalls to wreck the work which had to be done. I highly recommend Andy and his awesome staff at the Law Offices of Andy Cook.

Mr. Cook is an A+ attorney, as he has represented not only me, but my wife and family as well. Whereas the CA judicial system is highly unpredictable, Mr. Cook helped us navigate these unpredictable waters and fought for us with the tenacity and resourcefullness as we’d hoped for and wanted. His years and experience working in the San Diego courts system are evident as he knows and understands the nuances and personalities of the all judges and guided us in the safest and least risky path he could, affording us the best outcome. His work ethic and staff are truly professional, and we remain thankful to have him on our team! He is also military friendly and understands the demands placed on service members, and works with them. We have no regrets, nothing but praise and satisfaction for several jobs well done, and wouldn’t hesitate to retain him and his team again if need be. Mr. Cook and his team are the best of the best, and we gladly give them our seal of approval and an A+ rating!

It is my great pleasure to recommend Mr. Cook to anyone requiring the services of an attorney. Mr. Cook came in to my life during a time of great turmoil. He demonstrated a unique ability to listen and define complex legal issues while providing all the support I could possibly require. His professionalism, sincerity and extraordinary legal knowledge are truly amazing.
