    If you're looking for a mediator who is responsive, easy to talk to, and genuinely committed to…read morehelping parties reach a resolution, Emily Robinson is an excellent choice. Emily was an outstanding mediator to work with. Although we were unable to reach an agreement in our case (due to lack of cooperation from the other party), Emily was wonderful throughout the process. She was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and very accommodating to our needs. Her professionalism and approachable manner made a difficult situation easier to navigate. I would highly recommend Emily to anyone in need of mediation services.

    I cannot say enough good things about Emily. She recently represented me in a very difficult case…read moreinvolving both a custody battle and a complex financial dispute over four years of unpaid child support arrears -and she helped me win. From the very beginning, she stood out not only for her deep knowledge of family law and the legal system, but also for the heart and compassion she brings to her work. She took the time to truly understand my situation, guided me through every step, and fought for what was fair and right with unwavering dedication. One thing that really stood out was her honesty and transparency about pricing. She always made sure I understood my options, never pressured me, and worked with me to find solutions that fit my budget and comfort level. That kind of integrity is rare, and it made the entire process so much less stressful. What makes her exceptional is that she genuinely cares about her clients and their families. She balances professionalism with empathy, making you feel supported and heard throughout the process. It's rare to find someone who is both an outstanding attorney and a wonderful human being, but she is exactly that. If you're looking for a family attorney who is sharp, passionate, honest, and truly committed to her clients, I can't recommend Emily highly enough. She changed my life and gave me hope when I needed it most. As a parent, nothing is more precious than your child and their wellbeing. Emily helped me in protecting my son and saving my kiddo from some serious heartache.

    I have been working with Marina for 3 years now on relationship counseling…read more I have seen a handful of other counselors over the years. Marina by far is the best and easiest to communicate with! She makes me feel comfortible and at ease.

This has helped me feel less defensive and communicate in a more productive and positive manner. Marina is an amazing listener! No matter what the topic is during our sessions or how much I ramble on... Marina listens, processes, and offers up fair and honest observations and suggestions. She always brings a positive outlook that is supportive and truely caring. Marina is also honest and straightforward with you. Very easy to talk to and feel comfortible around. A good person all around and an amazing counselor. 5 stars!!

    I cannot overstate the impact Marina has had on my life. Over the years, she has supported me…read morethrough profound grief, major life transitions, and the ongoing realities of raising a child with special needs. What sets Marina apart is that she doesn't just listen with deep compassion--she provides real, practical tools that help you navigate life and solve problems in meaningful, lasting ways.

    I sought out the assistance of Seige Law (Rick and Rachel) for help with my business. Initially it…read morewas with setting up the business and then eventually with mediation and buying out my partner. Both Rick and Rachel were extremely helpful and professional. Rick would realistically tell me what my expectations should be and provided excellent legal advice. Both him and Rachel were timely, detailed and helpful during these transitions. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking legal advice and representation in their areas of expertise. In referring someone to Siege Law based on my experience, here are some highlights: 1). Rachel and Rick were readily available to take calls to answer questions that came up during the process. (Rick even called me while his car was being serviced at a car dealership). 2). Their support staff reached out very shortly after my conversations with Rick and Rachel to process appropriate documents. 3). The quality of representation I received during my mediation showed that Rick really cared about providing a good outcome for both parties (my business partner and I were on good terms and just wanted a fair agreement). 4. They were fair with estimates with pricing and costs did not exceed the estimate. 5. Provided referrals. Rick provided and helped facilitate introductions for other business professionals to help support me and my business. I would highly recommend this firm and would utilize them in the future!! I can tell that Rick and all his staff really care about their clients and the work they do.

    Siege Law & associates were highly professional, efficient & handled my case with ease. They were…read moreaccommodating and affordable. Hands down the best firm and lawyers I have ever employed.

    Mine was somewhat of a difficult case. Due to my naivety of divorce law, I had agreed to an…read moreirregular clause in my divorce settlement, that would allowed my ex to take me to court as he saw fit, at my expense. Soon after the divorce, my ex took me to court, and I found myself needing an attorney that I could trust to advocate for me. No small thing since I had lost all trust in my divorce attorney. Judy came highly recommended by a good friend of mine who not only knew I needed an excellent attorney; but that I needed one who would relentlessly fight and advocate for me as if I were her only and most important case. And that she did. Judy not only won my case, she won it with integrity. I highly recommend Judy and her amazing staff to anyone who is look for the very best divorce attorney.

    I retained Judith Rhodes to handle my complex family law case for which she worked on many issues…read moreover a period of approximately 12 years. I found her to be an excellent attorney who was well skilled, well respected, and who I relied upon, resulting in my receiving good results through the court system. I have recommended her to my friends, many of who have retained her and have had the same excellent service provided by her and her staff. She truly cares about her clients and works very hard, as do her staff members, to get the best results possible. I am writing this as I was upset to see the prior review made by someone who apparently doesn't know her. I have dealt with Judith on may issues over many years including dissolution of marriage, child custody and support, QDRO, countless court appearances and a trial. I can't imagine there being a better family law attorney in Ventura County, Los Angeles County or elsewhere. She is outstanding, which is the reason I have given her the top rating possible. I will continue to refer her to my friends when they need a family law attorney.

    Julie Stankowski and her office did an outstanding job on my case. My case was quite difficult to…read moresay the least, but Julie made it happen. Her and her office were always there when I had questions, and very responsive. Julie worked several late nights for me and always got things done. I absolutely know I would not have won my case without her as my lawyer. If I ever need an attorney again, I will certainly be calling her back and I would recommend to all my friends and family. If you want strong legal advice and legal council, definitely go to Julie.

    This review is long over due!…read more I have to begin by saying I can't express enough how grateful I am to Julie and her entire team for the guidance, support and advice that they provided to me throughout this incredibly horrible experience! They were more like family helping me along then a Law Firm that I had hired. Thanks to the advice given, and the unprecedented amount of hard work, my case went from hopeless to being dropped by the filing party. If I had not listened to the legal advice given along with the legal expertise of Julie and her team, that outcome would have never been possible and I would still not be able to see my son. I'll break this review into the three categories that I believe will be most helpful to anyone considering hiring Julie to represent them. ( Cost, Family Law Knowledge, and Ethics) Let's start with cost because I know that is the first thing that comes to mind when you are put into a situation that requires a lawyer. First and foremost Julie has very competitive rates for the caliber of services she and her team provide and more importantly, is completely transparent. Her and her staffs billing is exactly where you would hope it would be, with the simpler tasks all residing within the paralegals and the more complex issues being dealt with by the attorneys. The billing is also extremely clear down to the minute, so you know exactly what you are paying for. I never had to question a single charge or what I was being billed for. Second, is the qualification of her and her team's expertise. I couldn't have found a better attorney to represent me where the entire world "loosing my son" was resting upon it. Julie is a master at her craft and able to pivot in a moments notice. Another reviewer said " she is a bulldog in the courtroom that actually cares about her clients", I couldn't agree with that more!! Any attorney worth their salt will have a full client base as Julie always has, but the service Julie provides, you would think that you are her only client. She knows your case inside and out and will fight to get you what you want/deserve! Which I think is a perfect transition into Ethics. Julie and her team hold themselves to the highest of ethical standards! So if you want a firm that's going to screw your ex and in turn child/children out of what is truly the best for your child/children please look somewhere else! It wouldn't be fair to her or her team if I didn't try to sway those of you with that intent away from her time and services. They are the best, but their fight is for those who deserve it. Those moms and dads who are fighting for what is the best for their child/children and not their own vindictive selfish purposes
