My husband's attorneys clearly showed no care for him or his finances. Rosemarie consistently discussed the pros, cons and costs of each choice I needed to make. She was also patient with the emotional side of getting divorced. She worked hard for me and was honest about where she expected we would finally end up. We settled in mediation as she predicted.

Humane Legal Warriors…read more Veronica came billed by her referrals as "a real bulldog" though occasionally hard to reach due to high demand. In consultation she quickly grasped my situation with a few pointed questions. In court, where opposing counsel showboated or exaggerated, Veronica was calm, matter-of-fact, almost conversational. This was unnerving at first, but after our first couple rulings (favorable), I saw the other attorneys' performances as aimed at clients, not the judges. Veronica doesn't perform or exaggerate; She deals in facts that matter to the court, and delivers. When opposing counsel misrepresented events or twisted my statements, Veronica was quick to object sharply. I did not find her hard to reach: She seems to monitor e-mail at all hours, replying on weekends and holidays when necessary. Amy, her Chief Managing Paralegal, is fantastic - Sharp, tough, efficient, quick to recognize strategic value of details, and empathetic when needed (I needed a lot of reassurance). Divorce is awful enough, but the opacity and pace of the legal system is terrifying when family and financial matters seem to hinge on every ruling. Amy did a great job of keeping events in context of the law and our strategy, advising me on what to expect, and preparing me for each next step. She was responsive even when clearly managing a heavy case load. Working closely with her, I found myself fascinated by the process, and as another reviewer relates, at times even enjoying it. Both of them can be abrupt, perhaps an occupational hazard which I found intimidating, but came to recognize as ultimately in my best interest by not wasting time on what wasn't material or legally advantageous. Both could also quickly switch tone when I made clear my nerves were frayed. Their small adjustments and spontaneous offerings of compassionate perspective helped me trust they were honoring their fiduciary role, and actually cared about the outcome for me and my family, not just for their scorecard. As my case unfolded, that trust was rewarded with results. Despite the opposing party hiring a big firm and spending over twice what I paid in legal fees, the court ruled decidedly in my favor at nearly every hearing, and we settled with a very reasonable financial division. Most importantly, what Veronica, Amy, and their team secured for me is beyond valuation: A fair custody arrangement, and the legal protection throughout a very contentious divorce to enable me to live my life and enjoy some of the best family moments I've had in years. I feel unbelievably fortunate to have had Veronica, Amy, and their team represent and guide me through an otherwise very trying ordeal.

I hired Ms. Freitas for a complicated divorce case from a 30-year marriage after seeing positive…read moreGoogle reviews. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I later read that she review gates, and from my experience, it appears this may be true. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Ms. Freitas for complex divorce cases. She doesn't listen, is unprepared and sticks to her agenda, not what is best for her client. Her communication was inconsistent. Important emails were not read before calls, and I often received multiple, confusing responses from different team members. I spoke with Veronica twice; the initial consultation 1.5 years before and a useless phone call 2 days prior to mediation where she berated and lectured me instead of discussing my concerns. Veronica's preparation for mediation was lacking. I had to review materials myself with the mediator, as Ms. Freitas had not read the opposing counsel's documents. Billing was unclear and included charges from unidentified staff. When I raised concerns, Veronica became defensive, stating she was cheaper than most attorneys and I should be grateful.

I am thoroughly disgusted with Attorney Chi Nguyen's lack of professionalism and communication…read more I found her through Yelp in July 2025 with glowing reviews. After a July 4th consultation, I hired her to handle my parenting plan matter (not my protection order, though she gave advice on that too). What followed was one of the worst professional experiences I've ever had. Here are the main issues: Never in court - She never once appeared in person, only via Zoom. We paid her the same as anyone else, yet she didn't show up physically. Unprofessional appearance - On Zoom, she dressed in casual T-shirts, not courtroom-appropriate attire. Paralegal overseas - The paralegal assigned to our case (Bernard) was working permanently out of the country. This made direct communication about our case nearly impossible. Bad legal advice & dishonesty - She advised my child to drop a protection order to "help" with a 50/50 parenting plan, then denied ever giving that advice in court. This damaged our case. Unprepared in court - Judges were visibly frustrated with her lack of preparation and awareness of required next steps. Communication failures - She ignored the client portal (where we receive notifications) and instead sent critical updates by regular email, which caused us to miss deadlines and hearings. Documents were submitted incorrectly and late, resulting in continuances, sanctions, and extra costs we had to pay ($700). Recent failure - For a GAL hearing, financial documents we sent in late August were submitted at the last minute. She failed to consult us on which GAL we preferred, leaving us blindsided in court. We left court feeling defeated every single time. Yesterday's hearing was the final straw--we fired her immediately. Hiring an attorney is stressful enough; you need someone professional, prepared, and communicative. Chi Nguyen was none of these. Do not hire her. I only gave 1 star because Yelp wouldn't let me submit my review without doing it.

I contacted her around September to handle my case, and from time to time I asked her for updates in which she gave me very basic information. One day the DOL sends me a notice that my drivers license has been suspended because of failure to notice the court of my options. Mind you, this is something that is completely done by the lawyer. I message Chi, and she started to blame the court about how ridiculous they were, but in reality she should've kept status on my case. It's clear Chi treats each case as a $$ bag and doesn't care to check up on the status of her clients cases. As a result, this lead my insurance going up because Chi was unable to keep up with my case. Why would I go to a lawyer just to have my insurance go up....... and having to deal with that.??? Although she helped me with my ticket It's clear she doesn't value her customers and her replies are just straight up unprofessional at times. I wouldn't recommend her and steer away, there are other lawyers. A

After witnessing this firm in action recently, and seeing a *shocking* review left recently on…read moreGoogle Reviews about domestic violence, I felt strongly compelled as a citizen to leave this review. One of the reviews for this firm celebrates a legal victory, but it's important to challenge the narrative presented. An acquittal in a court of law does not automatically equate to a "false accusation." It signifies that the legal standard of proof "beyond a reasonable doubt"--a very high bar--was not met by the prosecution. Many documented cases of domestic violence, unfortunately, do not result in convictions due to the inherent difficulties survivors face in the legal system. Credibility attacks, skillful legal maneuvering, and the way trauma can impact memory and testimony are often exploited, regardless of the underlying facts or evidence like documented injuries. Praising an attorney for "destroying the credibility" of a complainant, especially in a DV context, warrants scrutiny. Was credibility destroyed, or was a traumatized individual effectively attacked on the stand? To suggest this acquittal definitively proves the accusations were false ignores the statistical reality that the justice system frequently struggles to deliver convictions in these complex cases. This outcome could equally be viewed as another example of those systemic failings. While this legal chapter may be closed, the underlying facts remain. One hopes that all involved consider the potential long-term consequences, as public and professional opinion often takes a broader view than the courtroom allows, especially if the full circumstances, documentation, and witness accounts were ever brought to light.

They also offered a payment plan option, which I took, and that made a huge difference for me financially. Overall, I truly appreciate their professionalism, understanding, and consistent support from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation.

Thereafter, she went above and beyond what was required of her to provide free legal advice to me across a period of three months.

Thanks to her contacts and experience, she was able to eventually get a hold of the deputy prosecutor to persuade him not to file any charges!! Throughout this entire harrowing episode, Coleen has been a steady and reassuring source of strength for me. She patiently dealt with my incessant questioning while always keeping me in the loop. Furthermore, I personally find her rates to be very reasonable considering her background and experience. Coleen not only has her client's interest at heart, I firmly believe she is the most well-equipped to protect her client's interest. No matter how big or small, I highly recommend anybody in need of legal help to contact Coleen immediately!
