After my brother passed away from Leukemia, my sister-in-law went to Marcella for assistance with…read moretransferring the estate into her name. Didn't matter that she was carrying their one-year-old infant or that she just lost her husband, like many others (ref Yelp reviews), Marcella decided to charge my sister thousands of dollars for services Marcella isn't legally qualified to provide. Not only is she not qualified, but she provided the wrong service, and, in doing so, divulged sensitive information (my sister's, my mother's, and my home address) to other parties whom we specifically didn't want to have our home address for safety reasons. This was made very clear to her many times, but since she knew she was actively robbing people, she didn't care about the damage caused along the way. At some point, Marcella Goodwin disappeared with our money and documents. We've attempted to reach her for months. My sister has gone to her office multiple times, only to find it locked. She still possesses my sister's critically important original docs and their money. Marcella's business model is to overcharge for bogus services and then disappear for a while. If you have the unfortunate opportunity to utilize her services, know that you are giving your money to a thief and a liar. She has an F on the BBB. She has received cease and desist letters from the California Bar Association. I'm not entirely sure how she's not behind bars, but if you see her, be sure to let the police know.

It took a month of calling and mailing a letter, but I did finally get 2/3 of my prepaid money back without having to go file Small Claims Court. THANK YOU! They deducted several hours against the original check and it is padded in their favor to keep more money. I decided to just walk away with some of my money and not fight it out. If you need a standard revocable Trust, Legal Docs on Main may be the way to go for you. But if you need *ANYTHING* additional outside of that, you may be better off going with a Trust Attorney. ***FYI: Trust Attorneys ONLY require you to PAY AT signing, whereas you must PRE PAY with this firm. ***

The only remaining item was a distribution of the IRA. It has been 5 months and we've sent 20+ emails and phone messages with only one returned call 3 months ago. I understand busy, but that is simply neglectful. Just a returned phone call with some explanation would have made the difference. As it is, there will be tax consequences if this is not settled before the end of the year, and we live in San Diego now so dropping by his office to find out what's going on is not an option. 7/15/2016: A very honest and hardworking family law attorney, which is pretty tough to find in El Dorado county. He is reasonably priced, answers the phone, and gives it to you straight. It took a year and $65,000 to another attorney who was actually worse than self-representation to find Brad. He has worked hard, and been up front, and a breath of fresh air in a place even the Bar Association has classified as one of the worst counties in California to find fair representation.

Where do I even begin…read more... If your Ex hired a lawyer in El Dorado county with a name that rhythms with "Smessa Layer" DO NOT HIRED THEM. I honestly think they work together going back and forth just to rake up their clients bills. Not to mention, if they go to court for you, they charge each client for the court hearing an hourly fee only to give you 10 min of their time. I hired Luke to finish up my divorce once my ex's lawyer decided to ask for my retirement information. At this point, I was 85% done with my divorce. I had filed papers on my own, requested a settlement date, applied for spousal support, etc (payed all of that out of pocket). I had even come to an agreement with my ex. Things had transpired between us and the agreement was no longer a 'go' so I called Luke with the expectations of his solely getting me a divorce, I.e, write up an agreement stating that my ex keeps his things and I keep mine (which would have worked for both parties). Originally I was quoted $7500 as a retained and was told verbatim by Luke "we usually do $10000 for a retainer, but since you are almost done, $7500 should be more than enough". Halfway through I had to pay $3500 more and they ended up charging me close to $1000 over that on my final bill. For a simple settle agreement that I was forced to go to court for. I set them up with one need- a settlement agreement and it took months and thousands of dollars to get it.

His questions as well as his responses to my questions conveyed a deep understanding of the invisible nuances that exist in families while also conveying a clear path forward for our particular needs. I found this to be profoundly important. Of all of the people that I consulted, Josh left me with the most confidence. The straightforward simplicity of what services he offers and the value that you get is also a big deal, especially when you're already stressed out. I hope that no family ever needs help sorting through hardships, but if you do, definitely give Family Solutions a try.

From the moment I reached out, his response was impressively fast--within 10 minutes! He reviewed all of the extensive documentation I had submitted in advance and offered a free consultation that was not only informative but incredibly validating. Josh took the time to listen with empathy and offer insights with clarity. His professionalism and kindness were matched only by his precision and attention to detail. Although he acknowledged that my case--due to its complexity and contentious nature--might fall outside the scope of his mediation-focused practice, he provided excellent feedback on how well I had already organized my declarations. He was honest, supportive, and encouraged me to continue advocating for myself as I seek representation better suited for a high-conflict litigation scenario involving false narratives and abuse of legal process. Josh is clearly deeply experienced in working with couples pursuing amicable divorce resolutions, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a skilled mediator or attorney for a fair, affordable family law settlement. Even though he may not be the right fit for my specific case, I left our consultation feeling far more empowered, informed, and supported. Family Solutions is lucky to have him--and so are the clients he serves.
