Her and her team did an amazing job on keeping me updated throughout the process. High Conflict custody cases are very difficult to deal with as is, with Melissa's guidance throughout the past 4 years has helped with the transition. The process was long due to the other party making it difficult to get shared custody. I trusted the steps needed and in the long run I was able to achieve what was in the best interest for my children. Her and her office responded in a timely manner and answered all of my question. Custody cases are difficult as it, I thank Melissa and her office for making my experience a positive one that in the long run benefitted my children. I would highly recommend them to friends and family!

I'm sure you see reviews like this all the time, but I'm going to tell you about a very special…read morehuman being: Christina. I had this review saved in my drafts for the longest time, not because of hesitation, but because of how chaotic and dreadful my situation was behind the scenes. I had gone through 2 years of absolute hell with my case, and was in a position where I had to find a new attorney after being scammed by another and being backed into a corner by the slimiest greaseball of an opposing counsel. I was so sure the outlook was as bleak as it could get. Finding Christina was actual kismet. She saw me as more than just a paycheck, and gently made sure I kept my head on. She actually took the time, heard me, and did everything she could to pull me out of what was looking to be a permanent residency in a mental and emotional prison of my ex's making. Soon, my son will be coming here for his first visit, and it's the first time I've felt like there was hope for the future in god knows how long. You can't put a price on that. She said she wasn't a miracle worker, but I'll tell you right now that she's the closest you'll get to one. I look forward to working with her again in the future, and if you know what's good for you, you will too. I can't thank you enough, Christina.

I couldn't understand and she kept deflecting . Anyway , for the vast majority of the day , we text back and forth , then she called saying she wanted to refer me to someone else because she hadn't filed this type of document before . I told her I wanted her to do it as I had already spent hours going back and forth about the logistics with her via phone and text. She called me back again around 8 pm last night , and we spoke for 1 hour and 8 min and we left off with her saying she'd do the forms and send me the ones I had to fill out . And she was supposed to connect with me today. All day I didn't hear from her. No explanation . No text . And when I called to inquire what was going on, she chose to not answer. She didn't even have the courtesy to let me know and now I have a deadline and I'm left in limbo. The unprofessional and unethical manner she handled this left me in a very bad position , with no way to get the documents I needed in time to be filed. Totally harmed me and didn't have the decency to call. I am very disappointed and can't believe someone in a professional position would do this and harm someone , especially knowing I was in a time crunch. She then sent me a text after my review, threatening me. I wrote back that I have the right to write a review of my experience. I would be very cautious in using this business for anything.

I thought very hard about writing this review, but I do feel other people ought to be warned. I am…read morea trans woman, and I wanted to hire a lawyer to do my name / gender change forms. I googled and found that Levine Family Law advertises this service. They charged, as I recollect, $3500. The forms went in fine, but then I waited for months for the court order to be entered. At first they said six weeks, but the timeline kept slipping. I started having calls with Levine asking what was happening--they said the SF court was backed up and that it would take time. But it became clear that they did not have a direct line to the courthouse and had a very difficult time getting hold of human beings over there: they were essentially blind. I asked for a call with my lawyer, Stan, but was informed he had left the practice (nobody had told me). I had a call with the office manager Katie, and she basically told me I'd just have to wait. It was very nice and all, but she said I just needed to wait. I live about 20 min drive from the courthouse, so after that call I got so frustrated I got in my car, and I went to the courthouse. There was no line at the records office. They pulled my application, and the clerk said he'd put it on the top of the stack on Monday. By Tuesday, my name/change order was granted, and I had my certified copies. What makes me angry is that I was repeatedly told that the courthouse was busy and, essentially, incompetent, but actually every interaction I've had with them, whether for this or for other records requests, has been prompt and efficient. There is almost never a line; they are very helpful in answering questions. It has become clear to me that Levine Family Law merely scapegoats the courthouse, and that the true issue is their inability to get anyone there on the phone. In the USA, we don't hire lawyers merely to fill out forms--we hire them to shepherd us through the legal process. Levine family law certainly would never be as cavalier about the fate of a child custody or divorce decree--it is only their trans clients that they leave to fend for themselves, twisting in the wind for months. It is unconscionable to charge people $3500 and then be unwilling to take twenty minutes to, say, show up at the courthouse and make sure the decree actually gets entered. If you're not willing to do what it takes to get the decree granted, please don't offer it as a service. As it is, I have no doubt that if I'd filled out the forms myself and gone to the courthouse on my own, I'd have gotten everything done much quicker and more cheaply. I want to reiterate that the forms they filed were apparently fine, but they had absolutely no orientation to actually following up with the court. No doubt they will respond to say that they did their job when they filed the forms. But I was advised by Stan specifically that he was going to be in my corner, following up on these forms. When a firm charges for this service, they are charging for peace of mind--the idea that they will handle everything. If all you want is someone to file forms, maybe this law office is fine, but if you want someone who will make sure the decree actually gets granted, you shouldn't go with them.

I had a video consultation with her where she told me the process and procedures for a living trust for a single individual. She answered all my questions and made it easy to understand. Stress and confusion drastically faded as we moved closer to the finish line. It took almost 3 months to complete, but that's a real good timeframe. Especially when I'm busy with my kids, I had to find the right time to schedule our meetings. I had one consultation via zoom, two zoom meetings, then in person signing. I really like how Nerisha made the process very simple and educated me on everything that was included in the living trust package. The price was fair, if you need to get a living trust done-- do it now! Don't wait like I did because it'll only get more expensive. She's a very sweet and knowledgeable woman. I love how professional she is while being a friendly face with empathy. I will definitely recommend her to all my friends! I can't wait to receive everything in the mail and officially be done adulting!
