I hired Matt Blado to represent me in a Gilmore election (a case that allows an ex spouse to…read morecollect their share of the pension should the other party refuse to retire). He frequently didn't respond to me during the process. Before our court hearing I reached out multiple times trying to make sure he was ready with the expert witness he had me hire and pay for. Our very first court appearance he had to postpone because he failed to serve my ex! Then there was another hearing that was asked for another exemption. Zero response until a week before the hearing. I get a frantic call from Matt encouraging me to settle for less than half of what I would get in court! I refused. He gave me some story as to why it was in my best interest to take the 50%. Then he came back and said my ex was refusing that amount and it would be less than 30% of what I was entitled to, however his firm would make up the difference. HUGE RED FLAG and alarm bells went off! I work for a professional services company and we do NOT pay our clients. Then the next email I get is from an associate at his firm sending me a response filing by my ex's attorney. It detailed out Matt's failure to respond to settlement negotiations, and failing to file MY witness list (so I have NO expert) in trial. The court filing was clear this guy had not done a thing to help my case and it was all detailed out for the judge. I cried! I had waited over a year with his delays and extensions he requested on my case and now I have no chance of winning and zero faith in his ability to represent me. I took his offer as long as he put in writing to pay me the money to bring me to 50%. He said he would write off the attorney costs (well I certainly expected that since he screwed up the whole thing!) and he said he cut me a check within X number of days. Well that came and went. No money. Then he sends me a release he wants me to sign that says I won't discuss his screw ups! Absolutely NOT! He cost me money and he let my ex get away with even more BS. That was an insult on top of the injury he caused me. I filed a complaint with the state bar and I hired an attorney to represent me against Matt. I didn't quite get the amount I would have from my ex, but I still get to warn other people to run. This guy misses every deadline and can't even serve notice to the opposing counsel! Do yourself a favor and don't hire Matt Blado.

I did not feel respected and like my time was worth while. I told him my occupation, therefore not making much money, and he still charged for every. Little. Thing.

He also waited for two weeks after he received the necessary information before filing with the court. In addition he charged me $1500 for a procedure which took him .9 hour (LESS than one hour) to complete the charge should have been less than $225. After I paid the $1500 he sent an email asked for $500 more. Matt has a reputation for putting things off. He lied to me for 6 years and never told me that he failed to send in the $25 filing fee until I submitted a complaint with the California State Board. The amount I have lost is now more than $600,000. Matthew is incompetent and rude.

During my consultation with Mr. Boyer I found him to be knowledgeable regarding my rights, answered all my questions thoroughly and was extremely professional. I knew immediately he was the right choice to represent me. Mr Boyer and his staff did an excellent job throughout my entire divorce. They submitted the proper documents and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He backed up all our conversations with an email to clarify what was discussed and eliminate any confusion about the process. While counsel for my ex-wife was less than stellar, Mr. Boyer consistently remained calm, professional and informed me of my rights. Mr. Boyer helped me to make fair and rational decisions until we finalized the divorce. Thank you MSM Family Law! I would also like to thank Sara and Stacie in Mr. Boyer's office. They were efficient and compassionate during what was a lengthy and frustrating case. I would highly recommend MSM Family Law and Jeremy Boyer to anyone looking for a competent law firm

Don't let the lack of reviews stop you from contacting Sunnen Law!…read more I sent out a desperate Yelp inquiry and Mr. Sunnen contacted me right away. My situation is hardly worst case scenario -- annoying more than anything -- but I still needed representation and within 24 hours. Mr. Sunnen and his team made it happen! His attention to detail and overall memory retention is extremely impressive. He speaks with so much confidence and doesn't skip a beat...an outstanding litigator! He's always been very honest with me about my legal options and the possible outcomes. He is transparent about billing matters and will work with your budget to get you the results you need. Looking over my invoices, there was no "nickel and dime" stuff going on. In fact, it's the opposite. The first time he represented me, he told me he would give me back my money if the other party didn't show up to our hearing -- said no attorney EVER! But he meant it! I've paid over-priced lawyers in the past and the only thing I got over a 2-month period was a $13,000 bill and one court appearance, in which five different employees were paid and, I could never get in touch with anyone. THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AT SUNNEN LAW! He runs his own firm with a small team of professionals. Everyone is so personable! His wife works there as well and she is AWESOME! Not to mention, they have small children of their own, which is important to me as a client. Not only will you get legal results with Sunnen Law, but they treat you like a human being...you can't get that anywhere else! I highly recommend!!! P.s.

He and his paralegals were well informed on the details of my particular divorce and how to translate the mess in legal terms cohesively and at no point did I feel like my time, emotions or money were being played with, which unfortunately can happen in this field. He is calm and strategic in how to handle high-conflict personalities. Anyone who has lived with individuals with strong narcissistic or Cluster B traits knows how complicated those situations can become, and Matthew navigates them with experience and composure. He also has a strong professional reputation and is well connected in the legal community, which became clear throughout our process. Most importantly, he helped secure the best possible outcome for my children and I during a very difficult time. Even when my financial situation became tight, he continued to move the case forward and worked with me so we could see it through to completion. If you are looking for a divorce attorney who is strategic, and focused on results I highly recommend Matthew Mesnik and his team.

I'm truly grateful for his support throughout this journey and highly recommend him and his firm.
