Mike was so sensitive to our needs. It felt like I was talking to a family friend. What I liked most about the experience is that he took the time to find out what was important to us. We are a young couple and we don't have a lot but he took the time to explain what we needed to do as we gained assets to ensure they were protected. I will certainly be using Mike and his law office again to set up wills and a trust when the time comes. He's been doing this for 38 years and his genuine concern for people and knowledge is very apparent. Thank you, Mike for your help and guidance. We will be seeing you again in the future!

I contacted this lawyer to help me with my restraining order and to represent me at my hearing…read more During our first phone conversation, he asked me to email him 60 pages of restraining orders so he could see my wife's accusations against me. I had to pay over $120 for faxes. When this lawyer received my restraining order, he called me to ask me 3 questions, this lasted 10 minutes. He told me that he would finish reading the restraining order and then call me back. I waited hours, days without a call from this lawyer. I left him emails, voice mails... he never answered me. I then decided to call him back and he told me bluntly that he could not help me because my wife's accusations were serious and he did not want me to lose my money. that my wife has a 97% chance of winning her case and that I should find another lawyer! This lawyer is not professional, serious, he made me waste my time, my money and when you are a lawyer, you do not speak to the client like that by saying that my wife will win // he already gives an answer for this hearing, which has not yet taken place and as if he were the judge! A lawyer must fight for his client, even if his client is the worst serial killer! This lawyer is not professional, not serious, he wastes money unnecessarily, does not respond to emails, phone calls and voice mail that we leave him. Lawyer to avoid at all costs!!!

Her price is fair. I recommend working with Tiffany Berry.

After secretly becoming a client of the local Center for Domestic Violence, after 25 years of…read moresecrets, I got courage and traumatically filed for divorce. After my husband's latest abuse, he kidnapped all of our money and I was left desperate and finally filed for spousal support. That's when my husband got an expensive attorney in Sacramento. After a year of his lies and ridiculous actions and so many filings of things like trying to charge me rent and having me move out immediately and reduce special support to zero, (all denied) My husband's attorney fired my husband. After a year on my own, doing all the filings myself- a series of miracles led me to Sandy Hurley of Hurley Legal Services. This wonderful lady, with 25 years experience as a paralegal, helped me to get court ordered permission to sell some of our property to retain an attorney myself. I retained Aaron Dosh as my attorney. An excellent attorney! Still my husband was offering me not one penny of settlement and we were headed to trial -which is very rare in the United States. Only 6% of divorces end up in a trial -but that was going to be us. Enter James Gwinup, in my opinion, the settlement guru of El Dorado County. I am sorry that Mr. Gwynn up had to deal with my husband as his client. But here I am, the opposing party, writing a five-star review on my husband's attorney. He is a miracle worker to get my husband to agree to a settlement - after 2 years of hell. The local county law facilitator, Mr. Michael Friel, assisted me in many ways, and he told me that a settlement is "an amount that I can live with and that I agree to". So, even though it is less than 1/4 of our net worth, I have obtained approximately $200K in cash and property. I credit this miracle to my husband's attorney- Mr James Gwinup. I can't thank you enough, Mr Gwinup, and your office. Thank you also to Sandy Hurley, who has become my dear friend, Aaron Dosh, and his wonderful office, Mr. Michael Friel and all the ladies at the County Clerk's office and Judge Lauren Bowers. And my highest thanks goes to God, Who was with me through this greatest trauma and extremely difficult time of my life. James Gwinup has helped me to secure a settlement large enough to provide for my new future - living without being under the shadow of secret abuse. I would give him ten stars if it was possible. He is kind and knowledgeable and able to deal with the most difficult client. If you need an attorney- this is a settlement miracle worker.

I had heard stories that the state could take up to a third of the value of the estate and that it would take forever to settle. From our first meeting, Jon Zitomer addressed those concerns and misconceptions. He was always very patient and even more thorough in explaining the process and making it easy to understand. There was a lot to do but Jon at every meeting would use his white board to explain what action was needed in what bucket. He always prepared an action plan that turned a complicated situation into bite-size steps. He referred me to a good tax accountant - there were tax issues - and even attended the first meeting. It was nice to know that I had Jon's thorough note-taking as a back-up in case there was anything I missed. I was so impressed with Jon's work on my Mom's estate that my wife and I went back to him to put together our living trust, something we had been putting off for too long.
