Victor is an amazing attorney to say the least! I originally hired Victor based upon his stellar…read morereputation as well as his experience with appeals and I can say with full confidence that I am extremely glad I did. After months of working with Victor on my case through the appellate process, I have been nothing short of highly impressed with Victor's skill, knowledge, and professionalism. He has been very thorough with my case, and he is always great about keeping me up to date on the latest updates, filings, etc. I also greatly appreciate how Victor always makes himself available to answer any questions that I may have regarding my case and the appeals process as a whole. This process was extremely stressful prior to hiring Victor, however, once I knew I had Victor in my corner, my stress level instantly dropped tenfold. I would highly recommend Victor without hesitation!

I rarely write reviews, but after my experience with Goldberg Jones, I felt compelled to share how…read moregrateful I am for the outstanding representation I received especially from attorney Svetlana Couture. From the very beginning, Svetlana demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, preparation, and dedication. I was facing one of the most difficult and stressful situations of my life, and her strategic approach immediately gave me confidence that I had the right advocate in my corner. She remained focused on the facts, stayed several steps ahead throughout the process, and consistently provided honest, straightforward guidance. What impressed me most was her ability to analyze every aspect of the case, anticipate challenges before they arose, and execute a clear plan. Thanks to her hard work and unwavering advocacy, the temporary restraining order matter against me was ultimately dismissed. Throughout the entire process, she helped me stay patient, trust the process, and remain focused on the bigger picture. I also want to recognize Goldberg Jones as a firm. In a legal system that often feels tilted in favor of women and mothers, Goldberg Jones genuinely stands up for men's and fathers' rights. They understand the challenges fathers face and are committed to ensuring their clients receive fair treatment and strong representation. That commitment was evident in every interaction I had with the firm. Successful outcomes like mine do not happen by accident. They are the result of countless hours of preparation, attention to detail, and attorneys who truly care about their clients. Svetlana Couture exemplifies all of those qualities. I am incredibly grateful for everything Svetlana and the team at Goldberg Jones did for me and my family. If you are a father or man looking for knowledgeable, dedicated, and effective legal representation, I highly recommend Goldberg Jones and, in particular, Svetlana Couture. Thank you again for everything.

When I first retained Men's Legal, I was told the case would not cost more than $4,000, even on the…read morehigh end. That turned out to be false. I have already paid $4,824.95 and was just billed another $1,575. To make matters worse, my attorney, Francisco Batara, attended a critical video hearing from the DMV while handling personal business, not even in a private or professional setting. He later claimed the Judge never read the X factors, but if he had been competent and focused, he would have realized that $500 a month in support for four children--with me having physical custody and the respondent at 40% timeshare--made no sense. His lack of attention cost me significantly and dragged this case out much longer than necessary. Because he missed the Judge's reasoning during that hearing, he later told me he had already drafted a Request for Order to correct the issue--but said he couldn't file it until I paid the remainder of my bill, which was $825. After I paid that, I was then hit with yet another $1,575 charge once he filed. This firm is not worth it. Between the misleading estimates, excessive billing, and lack of professionalism, I would not recommend Men's Legal.

The request for information he asks for sometimes made me feel like it is over the top, but when it came to the mandatory settlement conference, I finally understood the method to his madness as he walked all over opposing counsel because of his preparation. It was obvious they were ill prepared and no match for Chris's strategy. The exhibits and case law that he presented were so abundant that they didn't have anything to counter, had no push back, and accepted our offer. As far as billing, every month I would get a detailed accounting of the work he would put in on my case, matching the accounting I had recorded, which made me trust he wasn't padding the bills like most attorneys do. I am so grateful I found him and would give him as many stars as they would allow me to give. I would recommend him to anyone wanting sound advice, reasonable fees, and a very well prepared attorney on your side.

Gisela Acevedo is, without exaggeration, one of the best family law attorneys you could have in…read moreyour corner. After working with other attorneys in the past, I can confidently say the difference was night and day. From the very beginning, Gisela and her team operated with a level of professionalism, urgency, and precision that immediately put me at ease. My case required a quick turnaround, and they moved quickly but never carelessly. Every detail was handled thoughtfully and with intention. What truly sets Gisela apart is how deeply she listens and how strategically she approaches each case. She didn't just hear me she understood me. She consistently kept my child's best interests and my own at the center of every decision, while also helping establish strong, healthy boundaries that will serve us long-term. She provided clear options, honest guidance, and practical strategies that made me feel informed, prepared, and confident every step of the way. I never felt dismissed, rushed, or confused, I felt supported and genuinely represented. Family law matters are incredibly personal and stressful, but having Gisela in my corner gave me real peace of mind during an important chapter of my life. She is worth every single penny and absolutely delivers when it matters most. If you want an attorney who is sharp, responsive, strategic, and truly invested in her clients, I cannot recommend Gisela and her team enough.

I remember reading other people's stories and thinking, "That's us." Those reviews gave me hope, so I wanted to leave one for the next family who's in that same place. Working with Jessica and her team has been one of the best decisions we've made. When we made the difficult decision to go to court, our priority was protecting our child. We navigated incredibly emotional situations and made decisions that will shape our family's future for years to come. Throughout our case, Jessica was thoughtful, strategic, honest, and exceptionally well prepared. She never overpromised, but she always helped us understand our options and fight for what mattered most. I also want to give an honorable mention to Mareva. Great legal strategy matters, but so do the people who keep everything moving behind the scenes. Mareva was consistently on top of appointments, deadlines, scheduling, and making sure we were prepared every step of the way. She was always available to answer questions, even on short notice. We didn't just hire Jessica--we gained an entire team that genuinely cared about our family. Throughout the years we've worked with them, we've always felt seen, understood, and supported. What impressed me most was that we never felt like just another case. Jessica and her team took the time to understand our family's unique circumstances, remained calm and professional even when emotions were running high, and provided steady guidance through every stage of the process. If you're a single parent, part of a blended family, or facing a difficult custody matter, I know how overwhelming it feels to choose an attorney. It can feel like you're placing your family's future in someone else's hands. For us, Jessica earned that trust over and over again. Excellent legal representation isn't inexpensive, but neither are the consequences of poor representation. Looking back, every dollar we invested was worth the peace of mind, the preparation, and the advocacy we received. My partner and I still look at each other and say, "We would hire her every single time. Worth every penny." To Jessica, Mareva, and the entire team: thank you for walking alongside our family through one of the hardest seasons of our lives. We are deeply grateful for your professionalism, your compassion, and your unwavering commitment to protecting what mattered most to us. I hope this review gives another family the same hope that those reviews gave me when we were searching. If you're wondering whether Jessica is the right attorney to trust with your family, from our experience, the answer is an unequivocal yes.
