When searching for an attorney to help my nephew get his record cleared after spending nearly a…read moreyear incarcerated and over 10 years as a registered felon, we used the AVVO website and Google to find attorneys with the highest ratings. We spent about a month searching and interviewing candidate attorneys, and in the end Mr. Coniglio came out at the top for my newphew's particular scenario. We just received the news that the motions that Mr. Coniglio and his team presented to the court were granted. He was extremely professional, efficient and cost effective and he operates with the utmost integrity. Additionally, as a retired software exec who has led numerous tech companies, I am very particular when it comes to detailed / technical writing, and I knew we were in good hands when I didn't have even a single edit suggestion for the motions that Mr. Coniglio and team drafted (a rarity for me). I highly recommend John Coniglio and his team.

Great Estate Planning Support!!!…read more I moved from out of state and had to have all of my estate planning documents updated per California law. Daniel Hollingsworth came highly recommended from friends, and I was able to quickly pass him my expired estate/trust documents to 1) make them CA-compliant and 2) also insert my own needed updates to reflect my current estate situation. After he had a chance to review my expired estate plan, I met with Daniel; he explained the differences between my previous state's laws and CA law, the changes he recommended and the rationale for each change. I found his opinions to be very insightful and appreciated the examples and scenarios he gave me to consider for each change. Daniel really put me at choice--and I felt I really understood my choices. I appreciated his explanations and the professionalism he exhibited in dealing with some touchy/feely family considerations too. Daniel and his staff quickly turned around my estate plan, and then he met with me and my young adult daughter so that I could sign off the final documents. He made the sign off quick for me, and yet very understandable for my daughter, who is one of my trustees. He also offered to do the same walk-through of documents for my adult son (also a trustee, but unavailable that day)--and it was so helpful to have everyone feel competent and confident in executing the estate plan together. I recommend Daniel for anyone who needs an estate plan/trust.  It was a night/day difference between his support and my previous experience out-of-state--and motivated me to write this recommendation. In fact, I'm referring my brother to him, as he is in the same process and I know Daniel is someone he can trust and depend on. Laura -- Pacific Grove

Sam is literally a life saver. I can't recommend him enough. Going through a divorce and custody…read morecase was the most stressful experiences of my life, and he guided me thorugh it far better than I ever could have hoped. He is incredibly responsive and consistently thoughtful in explaining my options and what to expect at each step. I never felt rushed or just like another case; he took the time to really listen and understand what mattered most to me and my family. Beyond being a skilled attorney, he was genuinely kind and compassionate, which made a huge difference in an emotional time and was always available when I needed clarity or reassurance. Most importantly he is completely trustworthy, I never doubted he was acting in my family's best interest & his advice let to better outcomes that I ever thought possible.

Amazing bedside manner, always calm, friendly, sympathetic, and with some humor here and there to lighten the mood. For context, our case involved consumer law and digital property, a dispute with a provider of cloud file storage that had deleted our account without sufficient notice. We contacted many lawyers for help and it seems unthinkable in 2026 but so many of them said they just had no idea about digital property. Or the ones who did have expertise were only interested in defending a big company not helping the little guy. Not only did Sam confidently take on our case but he had excellent advice about open source software that would help us be more self-reliant in the future so we're not as exposed to the whims of cloud providers.

My neighbor and I went to see Mr. Daunt over a road issue. We went as a team to split the costs…read more Mr. Daunt was aware that we wanted any communication with his paralegal or secertary for the lesser charge. this did not happen. We were asked for a $4,000 retainer. We were invoiced separately at $400.00 each for the consulation. Then we were charged things like Mr. Daunt leaving me a voicemail of 1 minute and 22 seconds at the rate of $40.00. Sending me an email at the charge of $40.00 and reading my very short responce of maybe 5 words another $20.00. All adding up to $700.00 each for my neighbor and I. My neighbor called the office and asked that Mr. Daunt not return the call yet he did and then charged for it. I feel the charges were unfair but you be the judge. I would think twice before hiring him. We fired him and sought out another Attorney.
