Review
I had a previous lawyer who was very inexperienced and was over charging me. I was able to find Sean and worked with him for many years. He was able to help me win my case. Sean is very experienced and is there for his clients, I feel his rates are very reasonable and he was always on my side 100%. I can't say enough wonderful things about Sean as a person and a lawyer.
Sean is a EXCELLENT attorney. I interviewed several family law attorneys and he was by far the best. I was so relieved that I was able to retain him, he has never steered me wrong. He knows several approaches on how to go about winning your case. It depends on your style and what you want. He is able to be the lawyer you need. LAW: Sean is an expert in family law. There are so many times when my ex's counsel didn't know the law or was trying to do something shady, and Sean was spot on. He makes sure that the judge and other attorney's do the right thing. He fights for you and knows exactly what he is doing. If there is something he doesn't know or remember or a law changed, he pauses and does his research. He never makes anything up. He is humble and really great at his job. JUDGEMENT: Sean always guides me in the right direction. He knows and pays attention to whatever judge is ruling. Knows how they think and weighs the options for what has been done historically. He offers a few options, walks you through the risks and gains and then off you go. He is clear headed and sharp. WISDOM: Sean has seen so much and can offer advice on many fronts. He knows exactly what he is doing. He knows when to push and when to back off. CHARACTER: Sean has outstanding ethics. He will always guide you in the right direction. And he is always supportive, much like a therapist. PARALEGAL: Aaron is an absolute pleasure to work with. He always helps me and guides me. If I make a mistake in a form, he is always so kind and makes sure I do it right. They are a strong team. I couldn't have done this without Sean and Aaron. After being in court for so many years, I get to see a lot of attorneys at work and I know that I am lucky to have Sean Joyce in my corner.
I worked with Sean over my divorce, and he made a painful time far less painful. My separation from my ex became a bit acrimonious as we argued over money and property, but Sean kept my eye on the ball and led me through everything in a manner that was fair and honest. It was very important to me that I never had the feeling that I was "getting over" on my ex, nor that I was being taken advantage of, and Sean fit the bill for this perfectly. Sean knows California divorce law really well, and in the situations where he might not know something exactly, he does't make something up; rather, he pauses and actually finds out what the right answer is. He and his paralegal, Aaron, are really well organized, which was key to moving things through quickly and so that I didn't have to duplicate or add to my efforts. Whenever I called or came in to his office, Sean had all documentation at his fingertips (this is a tip of the hat to Aaron) and he had all germane topics in the barrel, ready to fire them off, one by one. This good organization saved me money. The last thing is about Sean's character: He acts almost like an arbiter, rather than the stereotypical divorce lawyer that we all see in the movies. He's kind and patient, and communicates with empathy; he doesn't show bravado; he knew that what I was going through wasn't easy, and he respected that; he doesn't cut corners, but he doesn't waste time. I'd recommend Sean to anyone.
Since the moment my divorce started I have worked with Sean. Two times I had to do modifications to my parental agreement and Sean helped me on every occasion always looking for the best interest of my daughter and me. He also looked for ways that could be beneficial for me in terms of not over spending money. He is also fast responding to emails and calls. On one occasion, prior to my meeting with the mediator and my ex at 9:00AM, he called me at 8:30AM to make sure I was ok for the meeting and to reassure me that things were going to turn on my favor if I followed his advice. That call made the difference and indeed the meeting turned out on my favor. My hats off to Sean, he has been very helpful with great advice and wonderful service. Always had positive outcome. Kudos to Aaron as well, he has also been very helpful and always courteous on the phone and when stopping by the office.
Sean and Aaron were nothing less then amazing during my divorce. I retained Sean after my first attorney was not cutting it. Sean and his team stepped in and took control in a every aspect. They provided quality information, amazing communication and the best outcome possible. They didn't sugar coat anything which made it so much easier. If you need help in a family matter Sean and his team is where you need to go. They turned every rock over so no surprises happened and gave me the best quality service and attention with the matter at hand. Again I cant thank them enough for what they got me through and the way they did it.

Alan is a superlative lawyer and an absolute joy to work with. His depth of knowledge of the court system and Family Code made him utterly indispensable to me. He's a guy you can lean on. Alan's law partner, Claudia, was also very supportive and helpful reviewing materials with me. They make a great team! Alan is a tank -- he doesn't get stopped by trivialities and negligible details. He is unwavering in the court room (even though my nerves were completely shot) and supportive beyond any measure. Alan clearly loves his work and never loses sight of justice. He doesn't give you false hope or false optimism; he'll give it to you straight. He's also a very compassionate person, which is refreshing. If I ever have a civil matter in the future, Alan will be the first person that I call because I know that I'll get balanced, objective counsel. I cannot thank Alan enough for the excellent work he did with my case. Even though the circumstances leading me to Alan were unpleasant, I thoroughly enjoyed working with Alan on my case. Alan was a crutch to me and my family through difficult times, and he got me the win that I needed and deserved!
Alan Silverman is compassionate, insightful, and fair. His understanding of complex cases makes him a “go to” attorney. He is available to handle difficult cases. I was able to reach him on weekends. He was available to accommodate my schedule. He always returned my calls. He is a trained psychologist, so you get the best of both worlds. He worked with me on legal fees.
I could not have been more satisfied. The service was professional, prompt, and sensitively handled. The cost was reasonable and appropriate. I cannot recommend their services more highly.
Alan was meant to be my attorney! I began my divorce process in 2009. When I started the process, I had, supposedly, one of the best attorneys in San Francisco for divorces. That was a disaster! The main attorney barely worked on my case. I was handed off to someone who would not listen to me and basically gave into my ex’s attorney. I found Alan through the yellow pages! Yes, the actual phone book! Alan’s background in psychology was exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t think someone who was a psychologist and attorney would exist! My case is probably the worst case Alan and Claudia has ever seen. Fast forward 5 years. Alan and Claudia are not just great attorneys but they are great people! I have given up hope so many times during the last 5 years, but Alan has continued to give me hope and support. Alan knows my finances are tight but he continues to advise me and helps me minimize my bills. Alan understands the “mind games” my ex plays on my daughters and helps me form a game plan. Both Alan and Claudia are accessible after hours and on weekends. I have gone through some extremely rough situations the past 5 years, and each time I needed to reach them, they were available. They are compassionate, empathetic, honest, and very straight forward. Alan will tell you exactly what he thinks is the best course of action for your case. I have learned a lot from both Alan and Claudia. Given the way my ex is, I’m sure I will continue to need Alan and Claudia on my side for the next 9 years! There are no other attorneys I would like on my side!
I seldom write reviews, but given my unique experience with Alan and Claudia, I feel I must let others know that good attorneys still exist. Alan and Claudia are extremely ethical and professional attorneys. What sets them apart from the rest, however, is their empathy and loyalty to their clients. Alan and Claudia are NOT just about the money. They are in it because they care. When I came to see Alan I had been through 2 attorneys, my case was a mess, but he still gave me hope and decided to take my case when others would not even consider it. The emotional support Alan and Claudia provide to their clients is rare to find in their field. My first attorney lacked professionalism and knowledge about all aspects of family law. My second attorney was from a well-known and large firm in the south bay that specializes in litigation. They were extremely expensive, and showed care about me and my case when I had the money. However, it was a different story when I run out of money and it was almost certain I would not get awarded attorney's fees from the judge given that they had awarded this large firm $150,000 that they immediately exhausted in just a 3 month period. This large, "reputable" and well-known firm, discharged me with absolutely no basis other than, I suspect, they knew the judge would not award them another large fee. I was then referred to Alan by another mother who had a very good experience with him. Alan was different. I had absolutely no money when I came to see him. He took a chance with me, but he cared about justice. He believe that fairness should prevail and he would help me achieve the best outcome possible for my situation. My case is still ongoing, but I can tell you that Alan has done more t than just fight for me and my children. He has given me hope and the belief that there are still honest and good people in this world. Alan is very much to the point and deals with honesty, so if you are not prepared to deal with him in this manner, then he is not the right attorney for you.

I was very lucky to be introduced to Kevin Duffy prior to starting my divorce. Kevin was very insightful, efficient and very much to the point with facts, always guiding me with my best interest in mind. Kevin was also very respectful and always had a “best in class” behavior with the opposite party which I truly appreciated…diplomacy usually wins the race! Kevin is a great lawyer and a good person.
Yes, I would definitely recommend Kevin. He handled a very difficult divorce in a very thoughtful and non-emotional manner. He is very good at summarizing the critical issues to the judges and opposing counsel. He is respected in his industry and is very good at understanding the details of his cases including the financial matters. My case required over nine years of financial tracing and documentation which he had no issue absorbing the details.
Kevin is a great lawyer and went above and beyond to help get the desired outcome. I'd highly recommend his firm to handle all of your family's legal needs.
Very positive experience with Kevin Duffy, who provided with a great advice, clear strategy, and professional support during the process. Definitely recommend him as the knowledgeable attorney who is able to provide with a reliable representation you can trust.
Top notch! Excellent attorneys, could not recommend them more!

Review
Words matter. Words matter double when paying for every single one. After interviewing ten lawyers, I was particularly impressed by Barry Schneider and his son, Carrie Schneider. Unlike the other attorneys I had spoken with, Barry and Carrie stuck to the point with great empathy and even greater efficiency; every minute I spent with them on the phone (mostly) or in person (rarely) was time and money well spent. My appreciation grew as we delved deeper into my complicated divorce case. They came up with solutions for issues other attorneys had told me not to touch. They were also honest and upfront about issues they believed would bare no weight in court. During the divorce we were bombarded with one settlement proposal after the next from my ex, most of them almost identical to the previous one. Barry and Carrie could easily have taken advantage of this situation, racking up my bill by tens of thousands of dollars, they did not. They responded only to the appropriate proposal/email/what have you. They both won my case and saved me money. So far three of my friends worked with Barry and Carrie too, and have had a similar outcome. I highly recommend these excellent and considerate lawyers.
Cary was great. I strongly recommend using Scheider Law in any of your family Law matters.
Barry is my go-to guy, both a divorce counselor and a deeply experienced family lawyer. He has a wide range of experience in handling and counseling on separation agreements, marital settlement agreements (including dealing with real estate issues, custody issues, visitation, family law courts and procedures. Barry is widely respected in the legal community because he is smart, down-to-earth and very practical. I know because I have used him for my own legal matters and have referred numerous clients to Barry with complete confidence in his abilities.
He got me a better-than-fair deal on my divorce, and I managed to stay friends with my ex, an important issue terms of raising our kids. Subsequently, he advised me on some pretty complex real estate and business issues which saved me a lot of money. And for whatever it's worth, he was very easy to talk to.
Barry Schneider was a fantastic attorney, and really catered to all of my needs. He was kind, explained everything in a clear and easy to understand manner, and made the entire legal process seamless. He made sure that everything was taken care of so I didn't have to worry about any of the paperwork or the timeline at which it was all proceeding. There is no better attorney to deal with family and civil law, and I would recommend him to anyone.

There is no better attorney to deal with family and civil law, and I would recommend him to anyone.

In a very bleak, corrupt and opportunistic legal field, Steven Ruben provided light, hope and professional effectiveness. His office administration and personnel were tirelessly supportive in seeking to correct a series of prior litigation errors entirely unconnected to Ruben Law Firm. Steve Ruben accepted a difficult and complex case that others had declined, late in its litigation process. He was realistic, candid, generous of spirit, intelligent and his skills provided measures of relief that previously had been denied. My family have reason to be grateful for Mr. Ruben's help and humanity. His quiet support, and that of his office continue to this day.
Being a family law firm is hard. Divorce and custody issues are always fraught and no one walks away happy. Its easy to feel sour about your attorney as a result. But if you want a law firm that cares about you and your case, and tries their best to do the right thing by you, the Ruben Law Firm is a great choice. They have been in this business a very long time, and experience counts. And they are good people. Steve Ruben knows his stuff and you should not hesitate to seek his advice. I speak from personal experience as a client.
Is just a great building in a nice Location I am I A mire the Building
Very professional staff who provided excellent counsel. Great follow-up.
Mr. Ruben is very knowledgeable in family law and a consummate professional. He will fight for his client and at the same time he will let you know if you’re out of line. He handled my very contentious divorce and custody case extremely well and it resulted in the best outcome I could hope for. His staff is very good and always attentive.

I had a previous lawyer who was very inexperienced and was over charging me. I was able to find Sean and worked with him for many years. He was able to help me win my case. Sean is very experienced and is there for his clients, I feel his rates are very reasonable and he was always on my side 100%. I can't say enough wonderful things about Sean as a person and a lawyer.
Sean is a EXCELLENT attorney. I interviewed several family law attorneys and he was by far the best. I was so relieved that I was able to retain him, he has never steered me wrong. He knows several approaches on how to go about winning your case. It depends on your style and what you want. He is able to be the lawyer you need. LAW: Sean is an expert in family law. There are so many times when my ex's counsel didn't know the law or was trying to do something shady, and Sean was spot on. He makes sure that the judge and other attorney's do the right thing. He fights for you and knows exactly what he is doing. If there is something he doesn't know or remember or a law changed, he pauses and does his research. He never makes anything up. He is humble and really great at his job. JUDGEMENT: Sean always guides me in the right direction. He knows and pays attention to whatever judge is ruling. Knows how they think and weighs the options for what has been done historically. He offers a few options, walks you through the risks and gains and then off you go. He is clear headed and sharp. WISDOM: Sean has seen so much and can offer advice on many fronts. He knows exactly what he is doing. He knows when to push and when to back off. CHARACTER: Sean has outstanding ethics. He will always guide you in the right direction. And he is always supportive, much like a therapist. PARALEGAL: Aaron is an absolute pleasure to work with. He always helps me and guides me. If I make a mistake in a form, he is always so kind and makes sure I do it right. They are a strong team. I couldn't have done this without Sean and Aaron. After being in court for so many years, I get to see a lot of attorneys at work and I know that I am lucky to have Sean Joyce in my corner.
I worked with Sean over my divorce, and he made a painful time far less painful. My separation from my ex became a bit acrimonious as we argued over money and property, but Sean kept my eye on the ball and led me through everything in a manner that was fair and honest. It was very important to me that I never had the feeling that I was "getting over" on my ex, nor that I was being taken advantage of, and Sean fit the bill for this perfectly. Sean knows California divorce law really well, and in the situations where he might not know something exactly, he does't make something up; rather, he pauses and actually finds out what the right answer is. He and his paralegal, Aaron, are really well organized, which was key to moving things through quickly and so that I didn't have to duplicate or add to my efforts. Whenever I called or came in to his office, Sean had all documentation at his fingertips (this is a tip of the hat to Aaron) and he had all germane topics in the barrel, ready to fire them off, one by one. This good organization saved me money. The last thing is about Sean's character: He acts almost like an arbiter, rather than the stereotypical divorce lawyer that we all see in the movies. He's kind and patient, and communicates with empathy; he doesn't show bravado; he knew that what I was going through wasn't easy, and he respected that; he doesn't cut corners, but he doesn't waste time. I'd recommend Sean to anyone.
Since the moment my divorce started I have worked with Sean. Two times I had to do modifications to my parental agreement and Sean helped me on every occasion always looking for the best interest of my daughter and me. He also looked for ways that could be beneficial for me in terms of not over spending money. He is also fast responding to emails and calls. On one occasion, prior to my meeting with the mediator and my ex at 9:00AM, he called me at 8:30AM to make sure I was ok for the meeting and to reassure me that things were going to turn on my favor if I followed his advice. That call made the difference and indeed the meeting turned out on my favor. My hats off to Sean, he has been very helpful with great advice and wonderful service. Always had positive outcome. Kudos to Aaron as well, he has also been very helpful and always courteous on the phone and when stopping by the office.
Sean and Aaron were nothing less then amazing during my divorce. I retained Sean after my first attorney was not cutting it. Sean and his team stepped in and took control in a every aspect. They provided quality information, amazing communication and the best outcome possible. They didn't sugar coat anything which made it so much easier. If you need help in a family matter Sean and his team is where you need to go. They turned every rock over so no surprises happened and gave me the best quality service and attention with the matter at hand. Again I cant thank them enough for what they got me through and the way they did it.

Loved working with Brent Kaspar and the whole team. Having been a stay at home mom for over 20 years, I had originally been overwhelmed at the financial implications of our amicable but HNI divorce since I was so unfamiliar with the complexities of company ownership and Brent’s financial background gave me so much peace of mind. Everyone was very supportive and responsive and have made this process go as smoothly as possible, even my ex has been so impressed with our team he’s often requested we have my team help us clear bureaucratic hurdles since my council has been so fast and efficient! Highly recommend!
The good part: Named partners are great, front office staff is great. The firm got me through my (uncontested) divorce in under 12 months without any major hiccups. Unfortunately the lawyer who actually worked on my divorce was not as good at communication or execution. Emails would sometimes go unanswered, calls were never returned, and requested copies of documents were never provided. In the end we ended up obtaining and filing some of the final paperwork ourselves rather than continue to deal with the associate.
Every step of the way, from the initial interview to the final result in my family’s favor, Brent, Ramon and Cindy helped to instill confidence in the family law process. During my initial call with Brent, I knew this is the best possible firm. He assured me the claims made were unfounded and his firm had experience winning this type of case. Cindy introduced me to Ramon who was chosen as the team lead on my behalf! What a wonderful team and a great outcome for my family! Thank you.
Kaspar & Lugay law firm was pro, experts, and highly motivated. We did the full process until the end by distance. I work in Asia and never had the need to fly over to fixed any issue. Everything went well and I am happy to had the opportunity to be represented by Kaspar & Lugay. I highly recommend Brent & Robert. Once again, Thank you.
Brent took care of my relatively straight forward divorce case. He made a great impression at the consultation meeting but unfortunately, I feel like I paid a premium price when I was not expecting mediocre service. After my payment was submitted, Brent’s communication made me feel like my case was not a priority and it was all about the money. I struggled to get his response for basic answers or explanations and I ended up having to pay more than expected and agreed upon. Overall, very disappointed, and I would not choose to work with him ever again.

Don’t hire a pregnant lawyer. I am a mother and I thought her maternal status would mean her understanding. What is actually did was she rushed through my case at the end because it was taking longer than she expected it would and was going to, and might interfere with her taking off for maternity leave as she was planning -instead of having another lawyer at her firm finish the job in a professional mannor. I got screwed over since I was self employed, she didn’t fight for the court to allow me to use my tax deductions (necessary costs of licensing and expenses to run a contacting business) these are allowed/deductables on my tax returns, and so the other attourney not wanting them allowed they increased my income by 40% so as much as the fathers who has no overhead expenses because he is an employee. So she didn’t press for it, the court added back necessary expenses and as a result I was granted only $180. Child support for my 2 young kids. This barely pays for a cell phone, a pair of shoes or any afterschool class for two kids. I referred a friend before my case was finished unfortunately-before knowing how awful a lawyer Erin is... My friends case was won because ge was abusive to their child. Father was ordered by court to pay the lawyers fees. Well my friend had already paid them because it’s required to be pais as you go along. So Levine Law Firm told her their policy is they don’t just give her back her money until After they collect it from the other party! He wasn’t even ordered to pay as much as she was to them-they don’t pay her back even monthly the court fees he’s paying back! He stopped paying and now they told her she has to take him to court again to get him to pay the court ordered lawyers fees (to get her money back from them once payments are completed) Wait- woukdn’t that be their job to collect payment from him themself, abd sue him themself if he didn’t follow the courts order to pay them? They still have not given my friend back her money, even for the part of the total bill they did get payment from the father. Levine Law Firm and Erin Levine are crooks and horrible lawyers working together with Erin.
I retained Levine Family Law Group to help me with a domestic matter that needed clearing up, from several years ago. I found the process to be easy, thorough, and professional. Monica Espinosa represented me and she was engaged, interested, compassionate, and intensely understanding of my situation. Throughout the entire process, which was approximately six months, one initial "in person" meeting was all that was required. After that, communication consisted of email and an occasional phone call - Monica was extremely responsive and made the process that much easier. I would wholeheartedly recommend this firm and, more importantly, Monica Espinosa. She went out of her way to ensure my legal issue was handled swiftly and professionally. Thank you, Erin and Monica. I truly appreciate you both.
Called for a consultation appointment and at front I was asked for a credit card to move forward with the appointment ($375) Run away form this firm.
Erin recommended working with and highlighted one of the most unethical, unprofessional, ineffective, and psychotic family therapists in the Bay Area, Alison Urdan, who is a nightmare to work with, devastating families and children, while carrying out her own profit driven agenda. She manufactures negative characterizations and works to give sole legal custody to fathers, especially in cases involving paternal domestic violence and abuses. Alison is not anything worth trusting your children or family to. Incredibly disappointing to see Erin blindly sell Alison on her website despite numerous attempts to let Erin know of Alison’s consistent history of wrong doing and illegal and unethical conduct.
Levine Family Law is an awesome family law firm in the bay area. Erin's team is made up of the most committed attorneys who can handle your prenuptial agreements, divorce mediation and complex family law mediation. She is my go to referral source for family law help in the area. Don't wait to call, you won't regret it.

I came to Gerard at a really rough time-- the divorce of a 16-year long marriage (plus 2 years of being together prior) with two kids still school age-- and I was in terrible shape. Gerard was immediately helpful and comforting, with a friendly presence that had me feeling better right away. His experience and knowledge made the process smooth and successful. He is honest and transparent in explaining scheduling, cost, and likely outcomes, and he has great expertise in advising and negotiating. Perhaps most important of all, he is compassionate, which meant a lot to me in the face of the pain I was feeling at one of the roughest moments of my life. Thank you Gerard-- I'll always be grateful. PS The divorce settlement came through after my initial review and the process is complete. I'd recommend Gerard to anyone looking for a great lawyer during a tough time, who can help see you through it from the transition to resolution.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Friendly, kind, fair minded, and ethical. Gerard is an excellent communicator who keeps great organized notes, grasping the BIG PICTURE, with attention to details - arriving at a settlement or legal agreement that supports the client's needs. Services including documents and online court submissions with email communication are a real plus to save on physical meetings if the client is living outside of the Bay Area. The office and conference room are very nice. Free parking in the rear is always available and a real plus. Gerard was a fantastic adviser to me with a divorce. His advice - always excellent, calming at times, and punctual. I will use him if ever I need future legal assistance.
I was so relieved to have the calm, structured and supportive mediation and guidance of Gerard while navigating the extremely emotional and unsettling business of Separation and Divorce after a 20 year marriage. He listened so well to our concerns and desires (to be as fair as possible during the split) while also considering & keeping the welfare of our children at the forefront. There was a bit of tension and difficulty with some parts - but his experience and knowledge helped us get to a compromise we could both live with. I’m so grateful to have found someone both my ex and I connected well with and respected - to be an important guide during such a difficult time in our lives.
Mr. Falzone was exceptional at calmly mediating for us using a solid structure that made things very easy. Even though we had to do the mediation via zoom because of COVID, it went really well and we'd definitely recommend him.
Very down to earth and makes sure you understand all the options to make the best choices.
