I found a miracle worker, Catherine Vance Attorney at Law!…read more Despite losing her Law Office in the Fire, she continues to work hard helping People from the Ridge, and her Community. When my Spouse decided He should walk away with everything we had acquired after the Fire, Catherine agreed to help with my Case. Ms. Vance was precise, paid attention to detail, and stayed on top of everything. Never having been in a Legal battle, I had no idea what I was doing, but she did, and she kept me apprised of everything happening along the way. When I told Ms. Vance I wanted to fight back, she answered (with class, and confidence,) "I do not fight, but I do work smart, and do things the correct way", and that she did. I can never thank her enough! If you need an amazing Lawyer, I highly recommend Catherine Vance Attorney at Law.

Mr. McHugh is a lawyer. Just not a very helpful one…read more Please consider the following questions before allowing Mr. McHugh to take your money and represent you. Would you like a lawyer that: Advocates for you? Communicates with you? Possesses a sense of urgency? Instills a sense of reassurance or partnership with you? Takes notes regarding your case and then actually refers to them in the future? Makes eye contact with you? Remembers your name? If you answer "Yes" to any of the above questions, then Mr. McHugh is not the lawyer for you. Instead, if you would like a lawyer that: Starts off your first consultation by saying: "I don't mean to insult your intelligence..." and then does exactly that. Makes you feel like a simpleton because YOU don't understand the law or the intricacies of the court. Requires continual hand-holding, follow-up, and prompting from you for any action to be taken on your behalf. Does not respond in a timely manner to your calls, voicemails, or emails. Simply forwards emails to you from the court or the opposing counsel with no explanatory comment or additional context. Forces the opposing counsel to write a hardcopy letter to your lawyer that starts with: "I have been trying to reach you. Please give me a call." Just to get a response and discuss terms. When confronted, admits that his communications with you have not been "up to par" and yet is no more proactive or transparent in future interactions. If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions, then congratulations! Mr. McHugh is your kind of lawyer. If you retain Mr. McHugh, expect to pay full price for less than full service. You will be left in the dark and then get billed for doing your own case management and communication. Mr. McHugh failed to put forth even the minimum expected effort for a retained attorney. At no time in handling my case did he proactively reach out to me with information, options, or communications to bring my case to a timely resolution. In every interaction it was up to me to initiate communication or prompt him to take action in contacting opposing counsel or continually remind him to ensure key elements I desired were included in the iterative drafts of court documents. The gut-wrenching process of a divorce or custody dispute is draining and comes at a high emotional cost. Paying for an attorney that is distant, disengaged, and unresponsive only compounds the cost. Had Mr. McHugh expended half the effort on my behalf that I spent on writing this online review, I would have avoided a great deal of unnecessary anxiety, stress, and fees. Save yourself the trouble, frustration, and headache of my experience. Keep searching and find a helpful and committed lawyer to represent you.

Anil listened, was very responsive, gave great legal advice, and very quickly got me the best possible outcome for my case.

I normally never write reviews, but my experience with Ms. Keya Brown as my daughter Kelsey's child…read morecounsel compels me to speak up so other parents are aware. From my personal experience, I feel that Ms. Brown handled my daughter's case with a lack of care, urgency, and righteousness. There were serious concerns brought to her attention during my supervised visits with my daughter including an incident where my daughter was dropped off to me after allegedly consuming a weed edible. As a father, this was alarming, heartbreaking, and something I believed required immediate action and strong advocacy. Despite sharing these concerns, I felt that Ms. Brown did not take appropriate steps to address the situation or ensure my daughter's safety was fully prioritized. In my view, her overall handling of the case in the North Butte County courthouse left me feeling unsupported and unheard as a parent who simply wants the best for his child. Because of my experience, I cannot recommend her services. I strongly encourage other parents to be cautious and to thoroughly evaluate any counsel representing their children. I am also in the process of seeking guidance and reviewing options with the State Bar regarding how my daughter's case was managed, as I believe every child deserves representation that is diligent, responsive, and committed to their well-being. This review is not written out of anger, but out of truth and responsibility as a father. I put God first in everything I do, and I believe accountability, integrity, and righteousness must guide every professional who works on behalf of a child. God bless. -- Cristian F.

I could tell she was knowledgeable & enthusiastic about the law. If you have ever hired an attorney before you know it's important to feel your attorney is confident, experienced, & approachable. During my conversation with Mz. Brown I came to the decision that she is someone who will be reliable, forthcoming with information, & extremely professional throughout my case. If you are looking for a family law attorney, my personal recommendation is to call Keya Brown & speak with her.

I'm very pleased to have retained her and stuck with her, that is not to say that there weren't times of frustration due to the speed at which the case moved, which might be a similar complaint found elsewhere in the reviews, but that has more to do with the nature of the legal system than with Crista's lack of commitment. Often times I would receive an email at 12:30 at night after she had been at the officer all day, she somehow found time to be both a mother and a dedicated professional. On a separate occasion she worked on my case during a recovery after surgery she was working, all of which is very impressive. If you hire her, I encourage patience, she is like a steam engine, she may appear slow at first but given time she works much faster delivering powerful persuasive arguments.
