    I worked with Szeto-Wong Law for my religious and disability discrimination employment case. When I…read morewas initially searching for a lawyer, Szeto-Wong Law was one of the fastest offices to respond to my inquiry. They were very thorough in examining my case and quick to follow up. I knew this team would be the right one for me. I predominantly worked with Dean, who is very calm and communicative. Dean was always transparent about where we were in the process and what to expect next. Both Dean and Gina were very understanding and supportive during this stressful time. They were happy to jump on a call if I had any questions or concerns. Anytime I emailed the team, I would always get a prompt response within normal business hours. Dean and Gina are very knowledgeable about employment law, which gave me peace of mind. They helped explain the more complicated parts of the litigation in layman's terms, which allowed me to make the best decisions for myself. Dean and Gina always advocated for the best case outcome for me. I highly recommend Szeto-Wong Law for anyone looking for litigation support!

    I am truly blown away by Attorney Gina Szeto-Wong's professionalism, dedication, and passion. From…read morethe very beginning, she has gone above and beyond in handling my case. She took the time to thoroughly explain the possible outcomes, walked me through each step, and offered thoughtful, strategic advice on what would be in my best interest. After speaking with more than ten different law firms, Gina stood out--not only for her legal expertise but also for her genuine care. This is the only firm where I truly felt that the client's well-being came first. Gina made me feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. I wholeheartedly recommend Gina to anyone in need of legal representation. I trust her professionalism, knowledge, and sincere commitment to her clients.

After vetting several…read morefamily law attorneys in NJ and CA, his calm, steady, and grounded presence immediately set him apart. When I was ready to move forward six months later, he picked things up seamlessly and efficiently. Within a short time, everything was filed and in motion. Throughout what was an incredibly emotional process, he showed remarkable patience, respect, and understanding. What I appreciated most was the directness of our working relationship.

Even in a complex situation with my co-parent, he navigated everything with professionalism and integrity, maintaining clear boundaries while keeping communication respectful and effective.

    It is a reputable law firm. Several people seek out my criminal defense firm each week and I have…read moreheard good things about this divorce firm for years.

    I'm not sure how they are getting 5 star ratings, but it definitely fooled me when I hired them…read moreback in May of last year. Let me be clear, the negative reviews seem much more realistic as I experienced identical stuff with them. Long story short, they did nothing for me after I took them as representation and made payment. When I mean nothing, I mean literally anything outside of filing normal paperwork, they simply didn't do. Want a suggestion? Get ready to pay them thousands for a quick meeting. Writing an email to them? Better hope they don't need to go to the bathroom in between because you will pay for that time. Another reviewer states it perfectly : "there team was working on my case, which means everyone needed to be aware of the status, and I was paying each of them". This times a million is so accurate!! Every month I would get a new bill with charges I couldn't make sense of, and half of those charges were one team member discussing with another about my case... like seriously?? In the end, I think I payed close to $15k for the 8 months I had them!! 15k!! And mind you, we never went to court or anything. It was literally just email replies and filing paperwork. I told them from the beginning I was trying to be conservative with funds and wanted to end this asap, and they asked for a $4k retainer acting like that would be all I need. They weren't upfront about future costs or options I could make. How in world did I have to replenish another $11k in addition is beyond me. Straight up scammed by thieves. **edit : one thing I wanted to clarify, their rates look somewhat reasonable, well at least for Palo Alto region standards.. hence why I was suckered. But it's not the rate that's the issue per se, rather, it's how they charge you each month based off these rates (see above note on how they charge discussions between team members). My previous lawyer (worst move ever leaving them for this one) charged me 1/4th of what they did, and we actually went to court. This firm will make you suffer with endless costs and charge you thousands each month when there is NO movement in your case.

    Getting divorced is VERY stressful; when my time came I was fraught with anxiety and doubts.  I'm…read moreso glad I retained Michael Pascoe to handle my case! Michael's "therapy dog" Coco sat by my side during my entire first visit and put me at ease; I petted her as Michael and I talked about the details of my case, and I felt a lot more relaxed and less stressed Michael is very knowledgeable and has years of experience with Family Law.  He also has a knack for making anxious people feel calm, safe, and well taken care of.  He obviously wants the very best for his clients, and that's exactly what he got for me - thank you Michael :-)

    Let's go over what Mrs. Pascoe claimed for my case: 1) 500…read moreusd for Court filing fee 2) 500 for meeting 1 3) 500 for meeting 2 TOTAL: 1,500 Answer: 1) In California, when you hire a lawyer to represent you in a divorce case (or any family law proceeding), the process to inform the court of their representation is typically handled by filing a Substitution of Attorney form (Judicial Council Form MC-050). This form notifies the court that your new attorney is now representing you, often replacing self-representation (in pro per) or a prior attorney. There is no court filing fee required for submitting the Substitution of Attorney form. This is a standard statewide rule for superior courts handling family law matters like divorce. https://selfhelp.courts.ca.gov/substitution-attorney 2) We met for 5m just to sign 1 paper that he is now representing me. 500 usd for 5 min. 3) Next time we met was only to hand him a check and let him know that he is no longer needed. Handling of check was charged another 500 usd as considered as a meeting with the client (obviously). While he may partially technically be right in terms of meetings only, think again if you like to have this kind of ethics follow you during your case and weather something like this should cost 1,500 USD.

My ex husband had a very difficult attorney in the sense that she was dragging my divorce along with my ex-husband but John was very good at trying to stop what she was doing and he always got something for me when they were trying to cheat all the time. John know exactly if the case will be a success or will be a waste of time. I had never had to be after him to tell him what to go for, he got it all for me as I was married 14 years and he got my share financially and custody with my kids. He always came with question to me if it was ok to proceed in certain way and I always agreed with him. He is a kind of person that can make you feel secure in court and not intimidated by anyone. He is very kind, honest, stern, professional and will not tell what you like to hear.He care very much about children and he made sure my kids had their share too. Overall, John is the best and I highly recommended to be anyone attorney. Jodi his paralegal is awesome too!

She brought calm, fairness, and clarity to every step of the process. From the start, she stayed focused on what the California Family Code actually outlines and guided us toward solutions that were fair and reasonable. When things got tense or new demands came up, she handled them with professionalism and calm, always grounded in facts and fairness. We tried mediation and had a discouraging experience. We were skeptical about trying again, but when we asked her to act as our mediator, she completely changed that. She helped us move past our impasse in no time. No matter how many times I needed her to clarify a term, she explained everything with patience and transparency. She made sure I understood every recommendation. By the time we finalized our agreement, even my attorney had nothing to add. That's how thorough and thoughtful her work was. She made an overwhelming process feel doable and made me feel supported and seen. I wanted a fair outcome, i.e., no "winner or loser", and she was instrumental in helping us achieve that. I talk about her to anyone who asks who helped me during my divorce, and I wouldn't think twice about recommending her. I plan to work with her again as I map out my post-divorce financial plan and strategy. She's incredibly knowledgeable, honest, and compassionate. I'm so grateful we found her.

Over the course of several months, Sandra consistently provided clear communication on a variety of complex issues in a prompt and courteous manner. Sandra has extensive knowledge of the laws governing various types of assets as well as the tax consequences of making certain decisions with a particular type of asset. Her detailed knowledge proved to be invaluable in guiding my family and me about which decisions were best to make in order to avoid generating unnecessary expenses. Without reservation, I would highly recommend Sandra to anyone who is in the process of navigating a complex financial and legal matter. Having her on your team will provide you with both the peace of mind as well as the confidence to know that you are making the best decisions given your individual circumstances.
