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!

Finding Dorothy completely changed everything. From the start, she was proactive, clear, and genuinely focused on getting my case resolved. Within just 3 months, she did what my previous attorney couldn't do in 5 years. One thing that really stood out was her deep familiarity with the local court system. She knows how things work, what to expect, and how to navigate it efficiently--which made a huge difference in moving my case forward. She kept me updated, explained everything in a way I could understand, and made me feel like my case truly mattered. That level of dedication is rare. If you're feeling stuck or unheard, I highly recommend Dorothy. I only wish I had found her sooner.

I am beyond grateful that Dorothy was recommended to me. I reached out the very same day, and…read morewithin an hour she personally called me back. From day one, I have never once doubted having Dorothy by my side. No second guessing, and no uncertainty. I trust this woman completely. As a mother, navigating a difficult child custody case while trying to protect and advocate for my son has been one of the most emotionally draining and heartbreaking experiences of my life. There were moments where I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, scared, and emotionally worn down trying to balance court, parenting, work, and simply holding myself together through it all. Dorothy never once made me feel like I had to carry that weight alone. What truly sets Dorothy apart is that she does not treat you like "just another client." She takes the time to genuinely know you as a person, your life, your family, your fears, your goals as a parent, and what truly matters to you and your children. She understood that this was not just a legal case to me. This was my child, my family, my everyday life, and my future as a mother. Every conversation, every hearing, every late-night worry answered through an email, and every difficult moment throughout this process has shown me how deeply invested Dorothy is in helping her clients and protecting families. She fights for you with the same passion and dedication as if your case were her own. In moments where I felt emotionally defeated or uncertain, Dorothy helped me feel grounded, reassured, and supported. Dorothy is honest, compassionate, incredibly knowledgeable, and always responsive. During such a long and emotionally exhausting custody case, having an attorney who communicates in a timely manner and consistently stands beside you makes all the difference. Her professionalism and courtroom experience are undeniable, but it is her heart, dedication, and genuine care for people that truly make her exceptional. You can tell this firm is built on integrity and compassion. Her husband, Matthew Losinski, has also always been extremely welcoming, kind, and professional whenever I've visited the office. You immediately feel comfortable walking through their doors. It truly feels like a family-oriented law firm that understands the human side of family law, not just the legal side. As a parent, putting your trust in someone during one of the hardest periods of your life is not easy. But I can honestly say Dorothy made me feel heard, protected, supported, and never alone! If you are looking for an attorney who will genuinely care, fight tirelessly for you, guide you honestly, and stand beside you through one of the hardest times in your life, I wholeheartedly recommend Dorothy Chow-Losinski and Matthew Losinski.

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!

She gave clear, insightful ideas and sent me away with things to research In 2018 I looked for a trust attorney and wanted to work with Hannah. She was too busy to take my case, but she quickly reviewed some paperwork on a weekend, answered a few questions, and saved me from sleepless nights. Hannah referred me to a great attorney so I felt well cared for, even if I couldn't work directly with her. She's made legal stuff understandable and actionable. It's a bonus that Hannah's brilliant, organized and nice. If you need a lawyer with Hannahs's specialties, I highly recommend contacting Hannah.

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.
