I have a signed letter from him dated February 7th, 2014 stating that once my 5 year probation is up, he'll expunge it for free. I contacted him once that time was up to get it expunged as he said he'd so at no extra cost, but he came up with every excuse for months for why he failed to do so and this was Pre-COVID. Then, later that year, I guess he got irritated that I kept contacting him to try to have it expunged, and he and his wife began being rude and almost threatening towards me. Once COVID started, he consistently used that as his excuse. I understood that he couldn't do anything when everything was locked down, but I was hoping he finally would once things opened again. After COVID, he continued to not do anything and after a couple of months him and his wife decided to simply not answer or reply to any text, email, or phone call (they screen their calls) when all I was trying to do is see if he would follow through with what he said he'd do. He simply won't because he won't get thousands more from me. I should have posted this long ago, but at least I finally got around to it, unlike James and my expungement.

You can't get a better lawyer than Roy Doppelt. In our free consult, he tried to give me as much…read moreinformation as possible so I could make decisions about my case and genuinely wanted to help, not rope me into legal fees. I opted to have him represent me, and that was my best decision in my entire divorce. Every step of the way, Roy was extremely responsive, thorough, clear, and always worked to achieve my legal goals. He would tell me when fighting an issue was not cost effective vs what was worth fighting for. He is not one of those lawyers who tries to make the situation more adversarial in order to make more money. He genuinely did right by me and always delivered the best service for the lowest possible fees. And, he managed to reach a settlement without going to court, which I didn't think was possible. I'm very impressed by him and I can't recommend Roy enough.

It feels like a divorce factory with a cable company approach to billing.

I hired Matt Blado to represent me in a Gilmore election (a case that allows an ex spouse to…read morecollect their share of the pension should the other party refuse to retire). He frequently didn't respond to me during the process. Before our court hearing I reached out multiple times trying to make sure he was ready with the expert witness he had me hire and pay for. Our very first court appearance he had to postpone because he failed to serve my ex! Then there was another hearing that was asked for another exemption. Zero response until a week before the hearing. I get a frantic call from Matt encouraging me to settle for less than half of what I would get in court! I refused. He gave me some story as to why it was in my best interest to take the 50%. Then he came back and said my ex was refusing that amount and it would be less than 30% of what I was entitled to, however his firm would make up the difference. HUGE RED FLAG and alarm bells went off! I work for a professional services company and we do NOT pay our clients. Then the next email I get is from an associate at his firm sending me a response filing by my ex's attorney. It detailed out Matt's failure to respond to settlement negotiations, and failing to file MY witness list (so I have NO expert) in trial. The court filing was clear this guy had not done a thing to help my case and it was all detailed out for the judge. I cried! I had waited over a year with his delays and extensions he requested on my case and now I have no chance of winning and zero faith in his ability to represent me. I took his offer as long as he put in writing to pay me the money to bring me to 50%. He said he would write off the attorney costs (well I certainly expected that since he screwed up the whole thing!) and he said he cut me a check within X number of days. Well that came and went. No money. Then he sends me a release he wants me to sign that says I won't discuss his screw ups! Absolutely NOT! He cost me money and he let my ex get away with even more BS. That was an insult on top of the injury he caused me. I filed a complaint with the state bar and I hired an attorney to represent me against Matt. I didn't quite get the amount I would have from my ex, but I still get to warn other people to run. This guy misses every deadline and can't even serve notice to the opposing counsel! Do yourself a favor and don't hire Matt Blado.

I left a glowing review then after everything was handled and the long and short of it was he did exactly what was needed. I had a pretty decent BAC and without saying much more the results were easy and simple. He helped me along the way, kept me in the loop, and when that part was over we waited until it was time for my probationary period to be over. The cost of that process was better than imagined. Once my probation was up Mark contacted me about expungement, and gave me the honest look at what could happen. It was either a yes or a no, and he was fully upfront about that. I said "let's go for it," expungements can be expensive, but Mark kept it reasonable. A few months went by, and while I admit I got antsy about what was going on, I knew Mark had a lot of cases to handle and I didn't want to interrupt him. He would check in with me from time to time keeping me up to date, and noted what to expect. After about 4 months Mark messaged me again and let me know the process was complete and the expungement was done. Mark did a great job. He delivered and never made promises he couldn't keep. He never gave false hope, but honest information on the process. We all know the stigma of attorneys/lawyers, but Mark deviates from that stigma. I recommend him whole heartedly, regardless of it being your first, or more than first indiscretion.

The attorney forced me into a stipulation that was not in my favor. The attorney suddenly quit the morning of my court date and a principal attorney called me 15 min before the court appointment to advise. None of the stipulations that I paid this firm to include in the stipulation are enforceable in court. Since my original attorney quit, the principal attorneys have been dismissive and unhelpful. One meeting I could clearly hear the principal putting her kid in the car seat and trying to talk to me at the same time. I was paying for her time. I'm a working mom, so I get it. But the attention and professionalism I was given by this firm was far below my expectations. I have since requested a full refund and been served with aggressively worded responses with all the principals copied. Obviously they are trying to intimidate me. DO NOT USE THIS FIRM. THEY ARE BOGUS. Again I paid over $10k to be in a worse off situation that I started.

When my daughter was involved in a tragic motor vehicle accident that resulted in the death of a…read moremotorcyclist, our family found ourselves facing what we believed were completely unwarranted vehicular manslaughter charges. It was the most difficult and stressful experience we have ever endured, lasting over two and a half years. From day one, Jay Monico and the entire team at Sevens Legal stood beside us. We weren't looking for an attorney who would simply encourage a plea deal--we needed someone who would thoroughly investigate the facts, challenge the prosecution, and fight tirelessly for justice. Jay exceeded every expectation. The evidence showed that the motorcyclist was allegedly racing at an extremely high speed on a city street and should not have been operating the motorcycle. Despite those facts, charges were still pursued against my daughter. Throughout the case, Jay remained steadfast, fearless, and completely committed to ensuring that the law--not emotion or public pressure--guided the proceedings. One of the things that impressed us most was Jay's willingness to stand his ground. He challenged the prosecution at every turn and never backed down when he believed the law was on our side. His persistence, meticulous preparation, and knowledge of evolving California case law ultimately helped secure a favorable outcome for my daughter after more than two and a half years of litigation. This case took an enormous emotional and financial toll on our family, but having Jay in our corner gave us confidence that someone was truly fighting for us every step of the way. We will always be grateful for his professionalism, integrity, and unwavering dedication. If you are looking for a criminal defense attorney who genuinely cares about his clients, is exceptionally knowledgeable, and will fight relentlessly for the best possible outcome, I cannot recommend Jay Monico and Sevens Legal highly enough. I sincerely hope I never need a criminal defense attorney again, but if I--or anyone I care about--ever does, Jay Monico will be my very first call.
