GOOD LAWYER, BUT NOT FULLY UPFRONT!!…read more I want to share my full experience so others can know what to expect. Last year, after my mother passed away, my father wanted to put his house into a living trust. We went to see this lawyer together. Since my parents had purchased their home as "community property without rights of survivorship", I knew this could be an issue. That type of ownership usually means that when one spouse passes away, probate is required because their share does not automatically transfer to the surviving spouse. Probate is exactly what we wanted to avoid because it adds time, stress, and extra fees. So during the very first visit, I specifically asked if that would be a problem. She confidently told me "no, that should not be a problem at all" -- that she could fix it, and the process should go smoothly in just two visits. Based on that reassurance, we moved forward and paid her half of the total fee as a down payment. However, later that same day, she called me back and said she had actually run into a problem with the house being under community property. She then referred us to one of her colleagues to handle it instead. When I contacted that lawyer, I was told it would cost $6,000 just to remove my mother's name and transfer the property deed into my father's name. That was a huge and unexpected expense we were not prepared for -- and exactly the type of problem I had asked about in the beginning. To be fair, she is polite, professional, and very nice in person. She also speaks Spanish, which was great for my father since it's his native language. But I left feeling that she hadn't been completely upfront with us. At first, we were told it would be a simple two-visit process, but once we had already paid, the story changed and the costs went way up. My advice: she may be a good lawyer, but do your research, ask very detailed questions, and get everything in writing before moving forward.

Unlike my ex's family, who have all been divorced, some 2 times over, this was a common rodeo for them (congrats on joining your family club, girl!) After asking around, 3 people automatically said "get Mel Hatamian to represent you", so I did exactly that. Mel had a consult with me and answered all my questions. She didn't take my case right away, she asked that I think it over before I file. Which I thought was interesting, I thought lawyers were all about the money. This gave me a sense of relief to know that she was working in my favor. I won't air my dirty laundry, but let's just say I didn't have a pre-nup and people starting to dig in a cookie jar that didn't belong to them. Mel gave me a list of everything I needed to demonstrate "separate property". I was married for 19 months, and my divorce took 15 months. It was painstaking and at some points, so petty. Mel was so understanding, answered all my questions, and represented me so well. When we went to court, she was a complete BOSS. Literally left opposing counsel in tears. 5 stars for Mels responsiveness, her attention to detail and, and her superb staff. I never had a missed call (they always pick up the phone) and I never had an email go by without a response in 12 hours. I remember Mel once emailed me back at 4am! Girl works hard! If you're getting a divorce, don't think twice about hiring Mel to represent you!

After that first entire month of working with her it was impossible to get in contact with her or her assistants. My texts were almost never answered and my calls were always sent to a full voicemail box. If I called back to back was the only way I would get a reply and it was because she was in court and needed me to stop calling. I was always respectful of her schedule and never tried to hassle her, but there was an extreme lack of communication between lawyer and client. I was in an accident that has damage that clearly shows that I was not at fault, I never had an adjuster come out and it is unfortunate that she gave up on my case so easily. Its as though my case did not matter to her and that could be because she had more "promising" cases on her roster. It just feels like not much effort was put towards my case and time was wasted. Now its about two months later and my damaged car is still sitting in an expensive garage with no adjuster ever coming to look at it. In addition to my circumstance worsening, upon her informing me she was relieving her offices of the case she told me that no claims were filed against me personally. Literally two days later I get a bill in the mail from the other insurance company. I am NOT saying this part is Madeline's fault, the misinformation just proves that she did not take my case seriously. My point is, if it was easy I wouldn't have sought out the assistance from a lawyer to handle my accident. I was in an accident alone and was hit by a car with multiple passengers. Who in addition were barbaric at the scene called friends to the scene to act as witnesses. I didn't feel like I had the knowledge to handle it myself but I had proof because of the damage left on my car. (Proof that was completely undermined and ignored.) I let Madeline know this and I still wasn't represented well. I needed a lawyer that would fight for me and I didn't get that service with this particular case. If your case is straight to the point and not tricky this may be the law office for you otherwise I would encourage you to search for someone that guarantees a true fight for you. Maybe even ask for examples for them to show their commitment because I initially felt safe with her willing to take the case, her work ethic towards mine just proved otherwise. This also could be because they work on a lean which means if you don't win the case there are no fees. So if its serious it might be worth paying someone upfront to believe in your case.
