Very thorough, excellent at explaining the "whys" of what we were doing together, and fun to work with - even working through thorny topics! We received a huge estate plan binder from him once the plan was finalized and some further instructions for making any necessary changes to deeds and accounts to add the trust and avoid any problems in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.

I couldn't be happier with the service and the result. I hired Pamala because I felt it was crucial…read moreto present my case professionally rather than appearing on my own. It was my first time at a civil hearing, and frankly, I was shocked watching others present themselves unprepared. It made me so glad to have Pamala by my side. She was completely prepared, knew exactly what to do, and took all the pressure off me. I only had to answer a few easy questions regarding dates, while she presented the evidence efficiently--focusing only on what mattered to the judge. I realized that what the court thinks is important isn't always what I think is important. I am so glad I left this to a professional; I was granted the order I sought, with a longer duration than usual. Not only that, I was happy to hear from Pamala that the hearing did not use up my entire retainer. Thanks, Pamala!

I went to Dave to have him take…read morea look at my finalized divorce judgment because Divorce.com left me holding the bag ("file the finalized divorce packet, you're good to go") after 4 months working with them. I did the self-service thing with the Hayward court but it left me with more questions because I couldn't figure out what path Divorce.com did for me. Dave took one good look of my pile of mess and he was like, "this is no good, it'll get rejected". Lesson learned: have someone local to do your uncontested divorce paperwork. He got the right paperwork with Hayward's filing formats and filed my paperwork for me. All done within 24 hours. For the amount I paid him, it was worth it and it was a similar price to Divorce.com! I felt like I got the short end of the stick with Divorce.com who did half of what was supposed to happen. Anyway, thanks, Dave! A Quick Serve definitely. He's friendly, earnest and a real character. Very knowledgeable and has a lot of interesting stories to share from his life and work. Tip to driving to this place: enter via C Street and Main Street and park on Main Street. Google Map's direction is confusing if you're driving up on Foothill Blvd because you can't turn left on Main Street. I'll update this post in the future whenever I get a from the court and my freedom.

I first contacted All for the Family Legal Clinic in July 2021 seeking an attorney referral. I…read moresubmitted the online application, paid for a consultation, and was told I would receive a referral by the end of November 2021. My contact person was their office manager/paralegal, Jennifer Richardson. On December 10, I emailed her asking about the promised referral -- no response. I followed up several more times by email and voicemail, and still no one ever got back to me. I eventually gave up and put the matter on hold. Fast forward to 2025: I decided to try again. After numerous phone calls, someone finally called me back and instructed me to submit a new application, which I did on August 30, 2025. Their website claims they process the application and get back within seven days, yet it has now been almost two months with no response despite multiple voicemails throughout September and October. In one of my messages, I even said, "I'm desperate and need to plan accordingly, so please let me know whether you're able to help." Still nothing. They do not accept walk-ins, do not answer phone calls, and as of today, they don't even have a working voicemail system -- you cannot leave a message anymore. I made one last attempt to reach them before posting this review, and once again, no luck. This clinic's complete lack of communication is unacceptable and unprofessional, especially for a legal aid organization.

I got help ensuring the safety of my child and restoring peace to our lives. This team went above and beyond for my whole family, in helping us protect ourselves from my abusive ex. I cannot say enough about how blessed I feel to have come across this organization and highly recommend them to anyone looking for legal representation. A highly skilled team very dedicated to fighting injustice and protected the vulnerable. I'm forever grateful.

Phillip is thorough, patient with your questions, and helpful in suggesting directions that support the family's needs. As he does get busy, he recommended that we follow up with him as soon as we had reviewed all the documents.
