After witnessing my parents' long and adversarial divorce as a teenager, I couldn't understand why anyone would ever want to practice family law. It's such a messy space, and you have to deal with people at their very worst. Once I retained Lara for my own divorce, I finally understood. Yes, you have to deal with people at their worst, but you also get to help people when they need it the most. Lara's advocacy made such a difference during one of the most difficult times of my life. My main goal was to quickly (and cost-effectively) wrap up the divorce process with an ex whose focus was to make things more difficult at every turn. I specifically did not want a bulldog of an attorney. Lara is quietly competent, but assertive. She skillfully managed my ex's attempts to drive up costs and exert control over her and the Court. Lara is sharp and attentive. I felt like she listened and understood what was important to me, and was both direct and gentle in her communication with me. She was very efficient with my retainer. During a time when I was more frazzled than ever, knowing Lara had the situation under control saved me so much stress. She reminded me what I was legally entitled to and successfully negotiated a settlement agreement -- something that I would never have been able to accomplish on my own. In an alternate universe where I remarry and require a second divorce, I would hire Lara again in a heartbeat. Every moment of the divorce process, I was grateful for her advocacy. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Ryan Sanchez was the opposing counsel in my case for many years. He continually files baseless motions and claims on behalf of his clients, without ANY proof. My attorney tried reaching out to him numerous times to try and resolve an issue and he was unresponsive. He didn't show up to a court date that HE requested and was sanctioned to pay my attorney fees, as a result and has still not done that. This was almost a year ago at this point. On my review on Google, he said "he did not do this" This is yet another one of his lies. He was sanctioned to pay me $2,155 and has only paid my attorney $400!! read more

Sanchez is stuck up, unprofessional and rude. Would not work with him. I hear Hose is good, so if you go with this office go with her, but avoid Sanchez at all cost. read more

I can't tell you how much Lara was able to help my family. This was new territory for us and it didn't look promising. We chose them based on their reviews and ratings so I wanted to pay it forward. Lara represented my family in a custody battle and was able to negotiate great results. She put in work and displayed great negotiating skills. She kept the lines of communication open and was there to answer our questions in a timely manner. She kept us updated with each process and change. She kept her word and made us feel at ease without sugar coating the truth or facts. I highly recommend her if you're going through a custody battle and you need a professional to walk you through it. read more

If you are feeling completely lost and have no idea where to turn, your search is over! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hose & Sanchez. My partner and I had been going through some challenging times involving a child custody dispute. It occurred right at the onset of the COVID-19, shelter in place orders. Court houses were closed. Police were prioritizing more emergent calls. We were stressed out. We needed a subject matter expert in this arena. We found Lara through my employer group legal plan. Immediately in the first phone call, Lara put our minds at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and relentless. The price for the services we received exceeded my expectations. Pricing is fair. I loved Lara so much I referred her to my sister. My sister ended up working with Ryan and she had the same experience. Ryan came in on the tail end of her court proceedings and even advised that she pretty much didn't need him but he would show up for her on that day if she is adamant about it. I thought that was the most honest display of compassion. Both Lara and Ryan are honest, trustworthy and so genuine. They care so much about enforcing the fairness of the law and most importantly the children. Will continue to use their services if ever needed. read more

My wife and I (after too much procrastination), finally decided to create a family trust; it was our great good fortune to encounter Lara Hose as part of that decision. Lara is a delight, truly knows what she is doing (and better yet for us, is able to translate the legalese into understandable English...grin), She listened, patiently explained our options and the ramifications of each potential choice, and did so with intelligent and perceptive clarity. We feel that we got a "full measure" (and then some) of her efforts on our behalf...we are delighted. I would, without reservation of any kind, recommend Lara Hose for any legal matter; she is honorable, intelligent, fair, thorough, and possesses a scintillating personality. She is absolutely "one of the good ones", and as both my wife and I are in our late 60's, we have encountered our fair share of folk. We trust her, recommend her, and would not hesitate to send a beloved family member to her should they need legal services. read more

I hired Ryan and Lara to help me get a more balanced schedule to support my relationship with my daughter. Ryan was professional, thorough, and accomplished what most said wouldn't happen: He persuaded the Judge to go against the mediator's recommendation and grant me what we were asking for initially. Ryan went above and beyond to make sure that all the facts and information were presented to the Judge in an effective and efficient way. I will be using him in the future. read more
