Everyone at Summerall Law was great to work with, and walked us patiently though all the areas that normally trip people up, as well as areas more specific to us and our situation. We did all the convos and prep via video call (great to minimize commuting time), and they have multiple locations for signing the final copies in person. We haven't used them for more detailed or custom work but will happily do so when the time comes, and have friends who have used them for this and are very happy. If you're looking into will, trust, or estate needs, would definitely suggest checking out Summerall Law!

Let's go over what Mrs. Pascoe claimed for my case: 1) 500…read moreusd for Court filing fee 2) 500 for meeting 1 3) 500 for meeting 2 TOTAL: 1,500 Answer: 1) In California, when you hire a lawyer to represent you in a divorce case (or any family law proceeding), the process to inform the court of their representation is typically handled by filing a Substitution of Attorney form (Judicial Council Form MC-050). This form notifies the court that your new attorney is now representing you, often replacing self-representation (in pro per) or a prior attorney. There is no court filing fee required for submitting the Substitution of Attorney form. This is a standard statewide rule for superior courts handling family law matters like divorce. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/substitution-attorney 2) We met for 5m just to sign 1 paper that he is now representing me. 500 usd for 5 min. 3) Next time we met was only to hand him a check and let him know that he is no longer needed. Handling of check was charged another 500 usd as considered as a meeting with the client (obviously). While he may partially technically be right in terms of meetings only, think again if you like to have this kind of ethics follow you during your case and weather something like this should cost 1,500 USD.

We're now left with very little time to find a replacement and we'll probably lose a lot of money as a result of this surprise from them. Facts: we agreed to work together at the start of this year. They shared a portal for us to upload docs into. It took us a few weeks to get started uploading those docs but we're still within their purported time-frame in mid-February. We had some access issues that, for myself, they fixed; that was not fixed for my wife and we had to bug them several times in the last week before our scheduled tax prep meeting. They then reached out to me, saying that they can no longer work with us and that they'll delete all the files I uploaded to their vault. When I asked them why, they did not respond.

My seller's husband had generously allowed "a friend" to stay in the home to avoid homelessness, but unfortunately, that goodwill was taken advantage of--and his friend refused to leave. Adam and Ashlee worked tirelessly, navigating multiple court filings and setbacks with patience and professionalism. Thanks to their persistence and expertise, they were finally able to secure a court order and coordinate with the Sheriff to lawfully remove the friend. It was a stressful situation, but their commitment made all the difference. If you ever need a team that knows how to handle tough tenant issues the right way, these are the people you want in your corner.
