Abrupt Closure & Zero Communication on Client Trust Funds…read more CNL Law Firm abruptly closed its doors with virtually no notice. Clients received an email on Monday, July 20th stating: "We are writing to inform you of a critical and time-sensitive change regarding your legal representation. Effective Friday, July 17, 2026, CNL Law Firm, PLLC has closed." It has now been a full week since the closure, and the managing attorney/owner has provided zero communication regarding how or when clients will receive their unused retainer funds held in trust. Multiple follow-ups have gone completely ignored. It is deeply unprofessional to shutter a legal practice without an established process for returning client property and unearned retainer balances. Proceed with caution.

There's a sense of panic that you don't know what to do next. I couldn't imagine not seeing my stepson as much as possible! Such a fearful emotion! A friend of mine heard our story and referred us to CNL law. Our nights of lost sleep were gone after one meeting with Chris Little. He's amazing!! So confident and assuring and approachable. We worked with him for many years and he and his associate Rachel Lopez battled the good fight relentlessly and we felt so supported! End of the story, we have a happy family life and we all get to be together during every week and build memories!!! We couldn't be more grateful for CNL law firm saving our family!!

They are completely useless and overcharge for everything. They are rude and when I expressed my concerns with the quality of service I received, they basically told me they didn't care. When you are facing any court case (especially one involving kids) you need a kind, thoughtful, and tough support system and they are unfortunately none of those things. Save your money and the tears and avoid this firm at all cost!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Elissa and Kathleen! They are exactly the people you…read morewant in your corner when life gets hard. My divorce was without question the lowest point of my life, and I went into it feeling completely unprepared. This team gave me the support, clarity, and expertise I needed to get through it. They showed up for every question, every meeting, every hearing, and every single step of the process. Beyond the legal guidance, they provided real emotional support, which meant the world to me. Elissa was strong and unshakeable when she needed to be, yet always kind and understanding toward me. My ex was incredibly obstinate and difficult, but Elissa never gave in to his pressure and ultimately secured a fair division of our marital assets. Kathleen consistently brought a positive attitude and a welcoming, supportive presence. I truly cannot thank or recommend them enough. When you're walking through one of the darkest seasons of your life, this is the team you want standing beside you.

Trial prep was like having a top-notch sports coach getting me ready for the Super Bowl! The whole team, including the amazing paralegal Cindy, was personable and made a super tough process way more bearable. Finally, you get what you pay for - Laura and Cindy are worth every dollar spent. What I was able to receive in child support and reduced alimonty will pay for itself in two months. Highly recommend!

Rachel Catt is a wonderful human being who helped me through the toughest years of my life. Right…read morenow, I believe she is in Boulder, Colorado, soon to open up a practice in her new (or newish) home. If you have the chance to work with her, on any issue legal, parenting, divorce, or human issue of working with former loved ones out to "get you" in a divorce or custody battle, you want Rachel by you side! This is my review from her San Francisco-based Legal practice from the 2006-2008 time frame. She is an absolute gem! User her services!!! :-) I can't believe I was so lucky to find Rachel to be my legal representation during my divorce. I can't imagine how I could have survived my "high-conflict" divorce without her unwavering support. I have been a client of Rachel's for over five years. Her Skills: In short, she demonstrated COMPLETE MASTERY of: 1.) Family Law, 2.) The San Francisco Unified Family Court, and 3.) The psychology of the crisis I was going through in this divorce. Her Services: - She patiently explained how the process would go. - She negotiated with opposing counsel effectively and efficiently, and - She won Court Orders from the judge . . . that no one would have dreamed she could get. As a father of two young children (3 and 1 at the start of the divorce), I was at a significant disadvantage in getting generous visitation times from the Court. In negotiations with my x-wife and her very high priced representation, they were intractable, unrealistic, and in fact combative in their pleadings with the Court. Since Stipulations were impossible to agree to, the onus was on Rachel convince the judge. She did it in spades!!! The psychology of being a Client: From my point of view, this ability to speak to my psychological and emotional support during this horrendous process may be the most uncommon and indeed valuable facet of her services to me. Her ability to support me mentally, psychologically, and dare I say spiritually was phenomenal. Integrity: She is one of the finest people I have ever known, and she dispelled every stereotype of lawyers I have ever heard. How did I find her? She was the number one name (out of three) that my friend who is in fact a family court attorney in San Francisco gave me. My friend, could not represent me due to our personal relationship, gave me the referral to Rachel. Thank God for that! I talked and/or met with the other two attorneys on the list, but it was clear from my meeting with Rachel that she was the right one for me. I can't speak highly enough of her! Feel free to contact me directly if you have any further questions, Randall.

I would absolutely recommend her.

Had my appt today with JR Phillips and was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and no-bull attitude. He was very upfront as to what he recommended in the area of wills and living trust issues.

Mark Smith and Marilyn C, the paralegals were incredibly easy and great to work with. Todd Bovo was very welcoming and took his time with me reviewing my case. I never felt rushed nor pressured to use them. I gave them what they needed. They took it from there. I never needed to hound them for anything. It was made clear this could take a year to year and a half and yes, it took 15 months. I would get occasional updates and that was all I needed. I never had to reach out to them. I got my settlement offer. I was advised it was solid. Although it was solid, they said there would be a good chance to obtain a little more. They managed to do just that. I received a settlement that was more than fair to me and my legal firm. I cannot recommend the Bovo Law Firm enough. For absolutely anything legal, you cannot beat the staff of professionals over there. Let them do the work, you just focus on your everyday life. They will handle everything. Thank you personally to the entire staff for all your hard work and efforts. I'm very happy with the way things turned out. True professionals with lots and lots of experience.
