Barbara Kuehn isn't just an attorney ; she's someone you can truly trust when it feels like…read moreeveryone else is against you. She has gone above and beyond for me, offering not only legal expertise but genuine compassion and support. Barbara helped me through some of the most difficult times in my life, with my daughter and her school, and later when my partner was dying. She made sure he was protected and that all his legal matters were handled while he was unresponsive. She was there not just as a lawyer, but as a caring human being, offering a hug and a listening ear when I needed it most. If it weren't for her, I don't know where I'd be. This is now my third time turning to Barbara for help, and I can't recommend her enough. Don't try to face things alone in the Bay Area, there's no one better to have on your side than Barbara Kuehn.

How interesting: I'm one of the only real reviews on here, and I'm one of the only negative ones…read more Huh, I wonder how you get so many fake (good) reviews..... My honest review: I hired the Law Offices of Christiana Samuels to aid in my divorce. I am not an attorney, nor am I a divorce attorney. However, I believe that I have been mistreated as a client, and I am pursuing recourse through the California State Bar. I spent thousands of dollars, and months of my divorce, trying to work with this firm, and, during that time, I actually moved backwards in my divorce. In fact, my attorney never provided one solution or answer to what my ex was doing/arguing. I've now lost privileges to my child, and I'm facing a much more dire financial situation due to the mistreatment I received here. I never imagined I would hire an attorney who would make things worse--and then ask for more money. So, after over 6 months, thousands of dollars, and feeling like I am now in a WORSE place, I cannot recommend that anyone employ this firm. Our legal troubles are too important to be dismissed like this, which is the treatment I got the most from this firm. They won't want anything to with you... until you need to pay more money, of course. In fact, right in the middle of a very intense battle with my ex, my attorney abruptly STOPPED answering my calls and emails because "the retainer was too low." Can you believe that? You will be abandoned by this firm if you are a little low on the retainer. It doesn't matter if you need your attorney in that moment--money comes first for the Law Offices or Christiana Samuels. Please, learn from my mistake and take your challenging, confusing, and painful legal matters somewhere else. Because, at that made-up firm, you might actually find a lawyer who cares about you. You won't find that here.

Tracy is incredibly knowledgeable and her staff members are so sweet and easy to reach for scheduling and assistance. Absolute shout out to her assistant Rob for quick responses and follow ups! I 100000% recommend consulting and hiring Tracy as she will definitely have your best interest in mind.

I didn't feel listened to, sometimes didn't feel respected (such as when she said I sounded like a…read moredomestic violence victim) and often felt pressured. I hired her because I thought I might need an aggressive lawyer. But when my divorce went amicably and I decided that I was financially secure enough not to need spousal support, this very quality worked against our ability to collaborate. The firm "fired" me as a client after 13 months and $42,000 in lawyer fees. I think she is competent, very good about replying quickly, and a good person. However, I found her too rigid in her thinking and overly reliant on protocol. If you are a "Intuitive" personality on the Meyer-Briggs personality test, look for a different lawyer.

When I…read morewas initially searching for a lawyer, Szeto-Wong Law was one of the fastest offices to respond to my inquiry. They were very thorough in examining my case and quick to follow up. I knew this team would be the right one for me. I predominantly worked with Dean, who is very calm and communicative. Dean was always transparent about where we were in the process and what to expect next. Both Dean and Gina were very understanding and supportive during this stressful time. They were happy to jump on a call if I had any questions or concerns. Anytime I emailed the team, I would always get a prompt response within normal business hours. Dean and Gina are very knowledgeable about employment law, which gave me peace of mind. They helped explain the more complicated parts of the litigation in layman's terms, which allowed me to make the best decisions for myself. Dean and Gina always advocated for the best case outcome for me. I highly recommend Szeto-Wong Law for anyone looking for litigation support!

This is the only firm where I truly felt that the client's well-being came first. Gina made me feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Gina to anyone in need of legal representation. I trust her professionalism, knowledge, and sincere commitment to her clients.

After receiving a very quick reply with great info from Attorney Doris Mei, I had a feeling that she is a great lawyer, and she can help my case end successfully. I decided to choose her services, and that was one of the smartest decisions I've ever made. She is a professional in the divorce field. Via phone call, she explained to me the whole process to close my case. She is very well organized. All documents were stored on Google drive and separated by folder so that I can access them anytime. She is very careful and dedicated. After the phone calls, she emailed me in each step with detailed guidance about what I should do. She is also very responsive via email. Emails were replied quickly even that was at night or during weekend. When the other party had questions, she patiently explained with many examples or documents to clarify. I did not know how to start my case for several months; but with her help, my case ended smoothly within less than two months. I really appreciate her help.

I originally filled out the forms, filed the petition and paid the court fees for an uncontested…read moredivorce in September 2018. The time I had spent waiting at the courthouse during my first two visits made me decide to use the legal plan from work to complete the process. I was originally referred to an attorney who was conveniently located a couple of miles from my home who told me that my case should take no time at all. Two years later and after multiple rejection letters from the Courts and visits to his office to redo forms that he filed on my behalf, I called the legal plan, explained my situation and asked to be referred to someone who is really well-versed in family law practice. Best decision ever! I called Doris S. Mei's office and got a schedule for consultation right away. Doris called me herself and was very patient and thorough. I forwarded all the forms and letters from the Court and found out that my previous attorney had used up almost all of the hours covered by the plan even though he was never able to make any headway for my case. This also meant that I would end up paying for services out of pocket. Doris helped me explain to my legal plan why I should not lose out on benefits when the previous attorney filed the forms with deficient content that caused the rejections and had cost me 2 years of my time. I was granted additional hours to cover the fees for her services. We basically had to start over to make sure that we complied with the Court's very strict rules for document review. I dealt with Doris personally every step of the way. She was very detailed and took the time to explain things during our phone conversations and followed with emails with specific instructions. It literally took me months to obtain all the required documents from an uncooperative ex who wanted to make things difficult for me, but Doris willingly made an exception to proceed with my case even when they had stopped taking new cases due to their full caseload. Once she was able to file all the forms, we had to deal with the delays caused by the Courts' backlog and Doris regularly checked status and provided me with updates. And did I say that we did everything via email and Google Drive? I only had to use snail mail once...only for forms that needed to be notarized. I never once met Doris in person partly due to the pandemic that forced us to do business differently, but would love to meet her in person someday to thank her properly for helping me move on... divorce case was finalized and closed and I'm now able to put it all behind me. She's also very patient, sympathetic, reliable, and sensible... a REAL PRO in my book! I would definitely recommend her services (not that I would want to see any of my friends go through a divorce ) to anyone!
