Divorce is hard enough, even if it goes smoothly. My ex and I hired Katie Fox to take us through…read moremediation, my hoping that we could get through it quickly with professional help and arrive at a fair solution for both of us. What resulted was my ex dragging her feet, getting more angry, confrontational, retaliatory and passive aggressive as the process went on. Katie Fox our mediator did nothing to actually mediate between us, allowed my ex to delay months and after a year and $10k, we had absolutely nothing to show for the time and money except a filing of divorce which I could have easily done for basically free at the courthouse. When I started to question and express dissatisfaction at how slow the process was and how little we had accomplished, Katie Fox got combative and fired us as clients, after taking out money for sending a few emails and accomplishing nothing. Please do yourself a favor and find a different mediator, there are many out there and this form showed me they are absolutely not reliable or trustworthy.

Katie Fox is a consummate professional, and understands fully, the nuances around divorce, and the toll it can take on both partners, and their families. I felt heard and understood, and for that, I am extremely appreciative and grateful of her.

They were measured yet sensitive; supportive but balanced; and most importantly, calm. The entire process ended up taking longer, but it was not traumatic and expensive. Sarah gave both of us time and space to reflect and converge, and de-escalate whenever a difficult decision comes up. It was the smoothest process that a divorce can be, and I owe it all to Sarah & Brianna. They are the ideal candidate if you seek a peaceful closure.

I was referred to Shelia Gropper Nelson through ALRP of San Francisco. I received a letter from…read moreReese Law for a debt I was unable to pay back in 2002. I wad on disability then and continue to be on disability from AIDS and cancer. I had to let my car go back due to no job or income. Fast forward to 2022, and now Reese Law is filing a lein against me for 44 thousand dollars for interest on the car debt that stayed on my credit report for 8 years. I contacted Shelia Gropper Nelson and forwarded all the legal information that Reese Law had sent to me in the mail. I was willing to file for bankruptcy, and she agreed that her services would be pro-Bono. She sounded like she was willing to assist me, but I never heard from her again after I made three more attempts to contact her. Eventually, I received a letter that read there was a 44k lein placed against me here in the courts of San Francisco. I sent a copy of the notice to Shelia Gropper-Nelson per her request. I never heard anything from her again. I would have been more than willing to pay for an attorney for what I needed, rather than being gas lighted by Shelia Gropper-Nelson. I was not going to beg her for her services. Apparently, she never intended to take my case. I have no idea as to why the AIDS Legal Referral Panel has her listed in their database as a reliable attorney for the AIDS community. ALRP should remove her from their list of attorneys. She did not have the decency to even set some financial arraignment or payment structure for her services. Instead, she's listed as a resource for an underrepresented segment of society. I could not think of anything I might have done or said to her that may have caused her to become offended. All she did was gas light me. I do not recommend her for any legal services, and she should not be a resource for any underrepresented group of people who are shunned by society.

I contacted Susan Jewel to assist with estate planning based on Jewel & Stoneman's positive Yelp…read morereviews and am happy to add my recommendation for Susan. The whole process was well communicated up front and executed efficiently. Susan's approach is very practical and she provided many great examples that made the complexities and potential scenarios easy to understand. She is also very quick to respond to emails. When completing the final paperwork, there's lots of information to absorb and again she made everything totally clear. All and all, very smooth and more engaging than I expected for something I put off for years and years. Highly recommended!

Ten years later I decided to update my trust and again Susan's professionalism, knowledge, expertise and commitment to her clients is still evident. She gifted me with peace of mind.

She is a force to be reckoned with. She is quick on her feet, eloquent with her words, and will not let the not let the other side walk all over you. Most importantly, she will fight for what you want and has your back 100%. Unfortunately she was not recommended to me sooner because of cost, but having gone through a few attorneys before Monica, having her from the start would saved me more money and also brought me closer to where I want to be in my case. Since having Monica as my attorney she has been steadily moving the case along in the right direction. Court cases take a long time, but with every hearing we are making progress. She even makes huge strides outside of courtroom by being able to negotiate with the other side. Monica is beyond amazing! She is so easy to talk to I sometimes forget she is my attorney. I couldn't be happier and am so grateful for all that Monica has done for me to this day. Oh and she writes great declarations too!

An initial phone call with Jelena, where she very clearly and patiently explained the idea and purpose of this document, got us thinking about the relevant questions. She was very responsive to multiple changes made to the initial intake form. Jelena guided us through this process with clarity and confidence, which made this a very positive experience for us. This was especially so when we met in person for the signing and she made sure we took time to pause and reflect on the implications of certain choices and guided us through possible scenarios until we were both satisfied and confident. After the trust was set up, she sent us a very helpful list of next steps to do and don't, as well as advice on what documents to provide in specific future circumstances during the trust's lifetime. It was a pleasure working with her on this and we would highly recommend to her anyone looking to handle this seemingly complicated and tricky legal issue with someone who genuinely cares for their clients' best interests and puts in the time and work to explain legal issues to the layperson.
