This review is long overdue. I hired Garwood Reeves for a family court custody trial, and I cannot…read moresay enough about how exceptional Lia Lorrick is. She stepped in on short notice and understood my case in a way that three prior attorneys from other firms could not. Lia is professional, extremely thorough, and highly strategic. She went head-to-head with a very experienced opposing attorney and executed with confidence and precision. Years later, I would still return to Lia for any legal matter without hesitation. Thank you as well to Mindy, Rebecca, and Casey for always taking my calls and offering support during an incredibly stressful time. I highly recommend the Garwood Reeves team.

I initially spoke with Emma (who was great during call). I asked to contact me once the retainer…read morewas exhausted since I am a single mom and not sure if I would have money to continue being represented. She agreed and said, they would contact me and would add a note on the file. That was the only reason why I went with the firm. I felt there was a mutual understanding so i decided to hire Garwood Reeves to represent me. When the retainer was exhausted, no one contacted me, they just sent a bill saying I owed them $$ XX since the retainer was exhausted. Invoices included inaccuracies. - they billed me for "calls" that did not occur. I keep screenshots of all of the calls to record the date and time. - 3 minute calls turned into .5 or more of billable work - 5 minute calls turned into 1 hour billable work. and that rate is at least $450 per hour After months of not talking, they sent me 2 additional invoices for services which I was not aware they were performing. I explained we hadn't talked for months and they had told me months ago we were done. And to top it off, a year later, I self-represented. They got wind I re-opened the case. they sent me a bill for over $2,000 for services I never approved. I was not even aware they were providing services for me. They never called me to discuss the matter. I am baffled. Luckily, I had an email from one year ago asking them to stop billing me (after the 2 invoice) and stop providing services. I am hoping they remove the bill from 2025 because I had specifically stated to stop providing services in 2024. This feels unethical. In hindsight, I feel misled by Emma Slattery so that I can be represented by Garwood. I feel taken advantage of. Also by looking at the several reviews, I am starting to see a pattern i believe that this is typical practice to rack up the billing. Either she is doing this because she's gaining commissions or she is practicing based on the company leadership. But regardless, it is not good. Several phone conversations that I had with her are null and void. She does not recall that I verbally told her several times to stop providing services in 2024. And then in 2025 I told her at least two times that I was self representing. Never did she mention that her company was working on my case . To it resulting in me getting invoiced for over $2000 for services that I was never aware of. My understanding is that we were done with them representing me in 2024.

Kayla Lynk was sooooo helpful! I needed someone to review my case with another law firm and not…read morereally going well. She reviewed the details and advised me on my rights and the options that I had. I was really going through it with my other attorney and it was great to get a second opinion and guidance on how to improve things to get to the finish line on my case. I really wish I would have found Kayla first because she was so kind and reassuring. Such a great communicator, compassionate and very nurturing. Thank you, Kayla! Hopefully I won't ever need another personal injury lawyer, but if I do, I'll call you first. If anyone else that I know needs a recommendation, I'll send them to you without hesitation. Thanks again for your help and support.

I don't typically write reviews, but when I do, it's because a business truly deserves it. Pines…read moreSalomon Personal Injury Lawyers in San Diego not only deserves a 5-star review, they have earned my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional service and support they have provided me. Here's a little about my story: A few months ago, I was involved in a serious car accident when a Tesla collided directly into my vehicle on the freeway. My car was completely totaled, and I sustained several severe injuries: I fractured two vertebrae in my neck, suffered an orbital fracture, as well as a right frontal hemorrhagic contusion and subarachnoid hemorrhage. I was taken to the hospital, intubated for a few days, and remained hospitalized for two weeks. To put it simply, this accident took a major toll on me both physically and mentally. While I was recovering, someone recommended that I reach out to Pines Salomon Personal Injury Lawyers. At first, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I decided to give them a call. From the moment I spoke with Aaron and his team, they were nothing short of reassuring. Without hesitation, they told me they would take my case and immediately began working on it. I provided them with the necessary documents and information, and from that point on, they took care of everything. Whenever I had questions or concerns about the progress of my case, they responded quickly and kept me in the loop. I honestly didn't expect much to come of it initially, but to my surprise, just a few months later, Aaron called me with the incredible news: they had reached a settlement with the party responsible for the accident. I was overwhelmed with relief and couldn't help but smile. The past few months have been the most challenging of my life, but Aaron and his team provided help in a way I never thought possible. All I had to do was share my story and provide the necessary documents, and they took care of everything else. I know this is a lengthy review, but I felt wanted to share my experience and give credit where it's due. Pines Salomon Personal Injury Lawyers are absolutely amazing at what they do, and I can't thank them enough. Special thanks to Aaron for his constant support throughout the process. If I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would, because they deserve it and more. While I hope no one ever finds themselves in need of injury lawyers, if you do, I can wholeheartedly recommend Pines Salomon Personal Injury Lawyers. They take care of everything and make the entire process as stress-free as possible.

MATTHEW BLADO Matt…read morecost me over $300,000 because he failed to send in a $25 filing fee for a real estate transaction. He also waited for two weeks after he received the necessary information before filing with the court. In addition he charged me $1500 for a procedure which took him .9 hour (LESS than one hour) to complete the charge should have been less than $225. After I paid the $1500 he sent an email asked for $500 more. Matt has a reputation for putting things off. He lied to me for 6 years and never told me that he failed to send in the $25 filing fee until I submitted a complaint with the California State Board. The amount I have lost is now more than $600,000. Matthew is incompetent and rude.

I cannot say enough great things about Attorney Garrison ("Bud") Klueck. He was absolutely amazing…read moreand helped me tremendously during a very stressful situation. What stood out most was not just his knowledge and professionalism, but his willingness to go above and beyond when it truly mattered. Bud stayed on the phone with me late on a Friday evening to make sure I fully understood my situation, my options, and the best path forward. That level of dedication is rare. He didn't rush the conversation, didn't make me feel like "just another case," and took the time to walk through everything clearly and strategically. His communication is direct, honest, and extremely effective. He has a strong command of the law and knows how to apply it in a practical way that actually helps you move forward. I felt confident knowing I had someone in my corner who genuinely cared about the outcome and was willing to put in the time to get it right. If you are looking for an attorney who is responsive, knowledgeable, and truly committed to helping you, I highly recommend Bud Klueck. He exceeded my expectations in every way and made a difficult situation much more manageable.

I went through two different attorneys. The first had just come out of retirement after several years and the second was essentially brand new. Neither of them was familiar with the current judges and both made serious errors that cost me time and money. The routine would go like this: request a meeting with Bud who would then call in the paralegal or attorney actually handling my case. Abundant promises of immediate action would ensue, but 3 weeks later we'd be in there again because nothing had been followed through with. If you decide to go with this firm, take notes at every meeting and ask the attorney to sign them as far as what they are doing and when. They delayed so long in filing my financials that the judge fined ME $5000 and then FLSD refused to reimburse despite it being their error.

Working with this law team was equally as bad as dealing with my Ex. they take your money, Elyse will never speak up or talk back to your emails. My family spent over $30,000 in three months, and I got nowhere. The only advancement I had with the judge was once I fired Butler law and went in on my own. I feel Robbed by this "business". Think, "scummy, crime, steal your money lawyers" This is Them! I unfortunately found them. The documents and emails from Sara Doroaorth could have easily been quick written by Chat GPTin seconds, which were substituted for simple call-backs, just to charge more and more money. Fine....if you're winning. But I got my ass handed to me over and over in court with a "lawyer helping women" PUH-lease. My experience was anything but that in the end. The quality was just bad from this law firm. Absolutely no wins in seemingly an easy case, and lost custody of my daughter for 2 years after spending thousands of dollars to have them help me. Judge Leah Hausch did not like this law team, it was obvious. This law firm will hurt you more, in a sensitive situation, and they won't respond. And their responses and "defense" are just Bad. Judge clearly hated them, and gave my lawyer really no time at all. This is one of those instances where if I could give a Zero or negative stars, I would. And to be honest, the person that really upset me the most is Elise Butler, because when I reached out to her about my case, and my lawyer, as the owner of the law firm, I never got a response from her. I honestly don't even know if she exists. She never spoke back, never wrote me back. I think they were embarrassed by how bad they got their ass handed to them in court with my case, that should've been so easy.
