Separation and divorce can be a grief-stricken experience, and navigating the legalese around it…read morewas the last thing I wanted to deal with. My ex and I decided to end our marriage cordially, amicably and with respect. We had a shared goal of preserving our finances for the family's future and keep the legal expenses to an absolute minimum. Sheila is very knowledgeable and accomplished at her craft. She understood our situation and expectations right off the bat. In our very first meeting, she assured us that the process can be as simple, humane and financially efficient as we want it to be, and the truth couldn't be any further. She was very calm and empathetic throughout our engagement. She was prompt, responsive, reasonable and always gave us the space to make decisions. I highly recommend Sheila to anyone that's committed to making their separation peaceful and respectful.

I came to her during a difficult time and needed clear, honest guidance. She was incredibly responsive and took the time to do a thorough review of my situation and the employment contracts and agreements I sent over prior to our meeting. She asked thoughtful questions, walked through the details, and helped me understand my options. I got strong expertise, relatable examples and not just generic legal advice. What stood out was how she was helpful after the meeting. She followed up with clear emails, practical advice, helpful next steps, and made herself available when additional questions came up. If you're dealing with an employment issue and want someone who is sharp, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping empower you with the knowledge you need to navigate your situation well, I'd highly recommend Laura. If a situation arises in the future where I need advice again, I know where to find it.

Immediately after…read moreour initial call, she sent a concise roadmap that clarified my options and how we'd proceed. Over the following weeks, Laura remained fast to reply, thorough in her explanations, and patient through each revision--never rushing, never losing focus, and always advocating for my interests. Just as important, her fee was fair and transparent; she didn't try to add unnecessary work or push me toward higher costs. Thanks to her steady, strategic approach, we finalized a stronger agreement, and I felt fully supported from start to finish. Strongly recommend!

Update: I have received a very courteous call from Lauren Rios after posting my review; she…read moreexplained their intake process and I suggested it would have been nice to hear something along the lines of "if your case can wait till the month of _________, we'd be happy to consider it at the time." Bumping my review by one star. After reading glorious reviews, Lauren Rios was my number one choice and the first attorney I contacted. The receptionist took down my personal details only to inform me right away that they are not accepting new clients at this time. I wasn't asked for any details of my situation to determine whether the firm has the expertise or the bandwidth to take on my case, now or in the future. This left me wondering whether my Jewish-sounding last name made them turn me away without any further consideration. After all, it would be enough to ask for a first name only in order to carry on a conversation.

If you decide to get a pre-nup or post-nup, you ABSOLUTELY cannot do any better than Nanette…read moreStringer for your legal counsel. I can't recommend her highly enough! Nanette met with me and provided excellent counsel, was completely patient and kind and came extremely highly recommended from another pair of family law attorneys. What is so great is that she specializes in pre and post nuptial agreements, which is very rare not only in California but the Bay Area. Unless Elle's experience, I found Nanette polite, kind and very caring in person, on the phone and via email. She was extremely responsive, on the ball and prompt with every meeting and everything I could have needed. Not to say we "wiped the floor" with the other attorneys (ha ha...) but holy cow, I could NOT have done any better than choosing Nanette for my representation. She is passionate about what she does, as knowledgeable about the particular subject matter as anyone could ever get, and literally a field expert in this exact corner of the law. Her office is also in a convenient location on the Bay Area Peninsula with easy parking and easy to find. If you are late or early you can walk right over to the shops on San Carlos Ave and grab a coffee or sweets from Suzie Cakes. Getting a pre/postnup can be stressful and emotional (I think one meeting I was crying!) but Nanette is a champ and honestly having her on my side made the entire experience run swimmingly. I guess if I ever end up getting divorced and or remarried I'd hire her again and again, with pleasure! In the meantime, I recommend her to all Yelpers and happily send her any referrals from my friends. Cheers, and thank you again to Nanette- she is so awesome!!

He does what is exactly necessary to get the best fair result, without wasteful drama or grand-standing. He came through for me. Wonderfully! And it was a long hard case.
