Sherine has been an enormous help to me during a high conflict and difficult time. She is both…read moreprofessional and incredibly thoughtful and I am so grateful to her for her understanding and patience with her clients like myself. She makes me feel safe and taken care of. She has invested personal time in reaching out to me to ensure things are going smoothly with my case and problem-solve whatever comes my way. I can't say enough good things about her. She's got you covered on the legal side of things, but also just makes you feel like you're being genuinely cared for by a friend. She is strong-mannered, detail oriented, and I've heard her be compared to a shark (in the best way) while in court. I also appreciate how strongly she advocates for those having trouble fighting for themselves. I can only hope that more people who are struggling find her because she is such an incredible resource.

I came to Ms. Sherine Pahlavan's office for a very simple and straightforward joint filing case (in…read more2015). After she (or her paralegals) put together draft of the case. She sent the whole case to me for final review. I found several shortcomings and mentioned that to her in a written email. She responded that she would incorporate them, and she forgot to do that and submit the case without modification! After I hit some legal walls (as direct consequence of her negligence) I came back to her and seriously asked her why she forgot to submit the corrected forms. - First she dragged me over without answering, or making up lame quick responses. - After I showed her the details and attached all of our correspondence, instead of covering her negligence, she switched to another channel: "Now you can fill this secondary correction if you want and it costs you $XYZ". I think there was two consecutive unprofessional behavior, first submission of wrong case and second shift blame and lack of corrective action after a client hit a wall due to that mistake. ######################################################## THIS PART IS WRITTEN AFTER HER RESPONSE (In response to the comment of Ms. Shirine Pahlavan, below I was client of her office in Davis, and I paid her for summery dissolution, and I have the receipts of the check which was written to her and she cashed that! and I have my documents which were sent with her address and signature! and I post that as proof here!) This is a very solid proof of my write up above, she is not careful in her legal work and and even does not bother herself to do a simple search in her computer or email before typing her response to my Yelp comment.

I've had the privilege of working with Attorney Courtney M Prado, on several legal matters over the…read moreyears, and I truly can't recommend her enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about the people she represents. What sets her apart is that her support doesn't end when a case is over. She has always been willing to answer my questions, share her legal knowledge, and point me in the right direction--even when there was nothing in it for her. That kind of generosity and integrity is rare. Throughout every case, she has been responsive, honest, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. She takes the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I understood my options and felt confident every step of the way. It's hard to find someone who combines exceptional legal expertise with such compassion and selflessness. I'm incredibly grateful for everything she's done for me, both inside and outside the courtroom. If you're looking for an attorney who truly has your best interests at heart, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Sincerely Fatimah Abughannam

Long time client with Fetzer's group. There are only a handful of attorneys in Sacramento that are…read moretop notch, and Fetzer's office is the best one to work with. I've also worked with Bartholomew & Wasznicky , a reputable office as well and I interviewed half a dozen attorneys in town before making my decision. What really set Fetzer's office apart for me is the communication is thorough, they are detail oriented, and have a "been there, done that" energy throughout the process. Dianne is great and so is her staff, I really like her paralegal. For my situation, I have a very difficult ex that has made every turn of the divorce a nightmare for both me and the kids. I needed a lot of hand-holding and without Fetzer's approachability the bad moments in the divorce would have been even worse and perhaps insurmountable. My ex's attorney was more of a "hired gun" with little professionalism that tried virtually every trick in the book from "Emergency hearings", 3111 investigations, false police reports, etc. to make our case into a character smearing contest. The best attorney you can have in family law is a reasonable, prepared, kids first focused professional that will set you up for success with the mediator(s), evaluators, and the judge. There is some sticker shock with the bill, but I wouldn't say it's an obnoxiously larger margin than any other attorney in town. With family court it's better to put your best foot forward at the beginning of your case because returning to court would cost even more and you could lose time with your kids. Fetzer is a step ahead, it's worth the peace of mind.

I was dealing with a divorce judgement that was being challenged by my ex-wife. After considering…read moreseveral family law options, I was drawn to Lewellen Family Law Group. My decision was highly influenced by their pledge to build a strategy. Such a critical element in the process! In previous experiences I had dealt with attorneys who "filed the necessary motions and responses", but never shared a "plan"! I ended up meeting with a Sr. Attorney by the name of Amrit Kullar! From our first meeting he guided and counseled me on what he was confident would be OUR best approach! He was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and very personable. Early on in the process he felt like a friend who was supporting me! Did we prevail? YES!! Truly cannot say enough about this law firm, and moreover, Amrit!

She's to the point, doesn't waste time, and stays focused on the facts and what actually matters in court. What stood out to me was her ability to articulate herself and her courtroom presence.

If you're looking for someone sharp and respected in the courtroom, I recommend Judy.

STOP!!! for the love of God turn back now while you still can. my fiancé and I hired this attorney…read moreon 8-20-21 for a family and law hearing and let me tell you, this is was by far the worst experience I've had in a very long time!! Lets see where do I even begin?? for starters, this attorney is very rude condescending and fits characteristics those of a narcissist as this attorney acts as if she's practicing law for all the wrong reasons. On 9-3-21, I had mediation and it did not go well as my mediator didn't even know I had a attorney and what's more, this attorney failed to submit any paperwork supporting my concerns for my child what so ever which gave the other party the edge as at least their attorney was inclined enough to submit their paperwork. Even the mediator was in disgust that my attorney left me hanging the way they did. The mediator then suggested that I ask my attorney for answers which I did, now here's where it gets good. I messaged this attorney that same day after mediation, expressing how I felt and that I was upset that she didn't do her job after all, I did just fork over 4k to her and I as a client had the right to know and to be outraged just like any other client has the right to get answers after they paid good money for something that was worthless. this attorneys reasoning as to why she didn't submit any paperwork was absolutely preposterous. She tried telling me that she needed 10 days in advance to submit paperwork to the mediator which was far from the truth, it states on the bottom of the page that only 5 days in advance are required. When I, fact checked this attorney, she tried weaseling her self out and said this was on me since there was additional paperwork that I needed to send them in order to be submitted to the mediator which was yet another lie as I checked what's called mycase account and there was nothing under the task category. there were two others that were working on my case that made it clear that when ever there was any paper needed from me, it would in this category . After this attorney had no way out of this one they then decided to take this to the extreme and withdrew from my case. my fiancé and I still cant wrap our heads on how petty and arrogant this attorney is. It became evident that this attorney is just another attorney that was sold on a dream and is willing to burn who ever if it means it would help them pay off their law school loans faster. I now have to somehow come up with another 2k that this lawyer snatched from me and get a more qualified attorney before the 20th!! THIS ATTORNEY HAS COMPLETELY WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY!!. they charge you $325 an hour for services that aren't even worth $3.25 a hour .. I have pictures to prove what I speak of are facts. let me know how you would like to be contacted and I'll be happy to send them to you. PS. I now found a much more qualified attorney, Let me EMPHAZISE that my current attorney has done more for me in the consultation than jesslegal has done in the whole 2 weeks+ that I've been with them. Stay away from this firm people or you'll be the next one getting ripped off!!
