She is an intellectual, argument based lawyer in the courtroom which bodes well in many cases. I'll give her 5 stars when I see her go up against a top notch litigator who doesn't pay attention to paperwork and details. . . and win. Other than that (and the fact that she works for a big law firm with overhead), I can't figure out a reason to not hire her. I debated giving her 5 stars, in fact.

I was involved in a divorce case that turned very, very messy, years after I thought it had been a…read moredone deal. The other side were masters at heel dragging and stalling for no reason other than to create as much trouble and expense as possible. Geniveve was able to cut through their nonsense and brought about a resolution swiftly and equitably. I was thrilled with the results and this speaks volumes about Geniveve's competence and effectiveness. Very few lawyers are able to take on the Church of Scientology, the most litigious people on earth, and bring them to heel. Well, she did it and did so rapidly. I can think of no better recommendation for an attorney. Her work on my case gives her five stars in my book.

Joan LeBlanc is awesome. She took over a complicated estate case that two other lawyers had…read morescrewed up. I gave her the file, which was literally five and half inches thick, and then met with her a week later. We discussed details for three hours in the meeting, she didn't have any notes, but knew everything. Her suggestions were also very well thought out, and she clearly stated the implications of the various strategies we can employ, all legal of course. She is definitely on the expensive side, but if you have a somewhat complicated case, Ms. LeBlanc is clearly superior and worth it.

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.

Although we may not be done with the process, we have had a great experience so far and I truly recommend Pyrus Law.

I truly cannot recommend Jennifer enough to anyone who is going through any type of immigration…read moreprocess. My husband and I retained Jennifer's services for our Adjustment of Status process for the K1 Fiance Visa and we could not be happier with the results. Prior to Jennifer, during our K1 journey, we worked with another attorney who truly made us feel less than for asking questions. We did not feel supported or heard. With Jennifer, it was the complete opposite, she was always happy to schedule a time to chat and honestly, she explained the process so thoroughly that most of the time we didn't even need to schedule additional meetings. Jennifer and Litha (Jennifer's Paralegal and Case Manager) were both so wonderful and supportive throughout our journey and just so helpful in consolidating everything we sent them into comprehensively, well-put together documents for our case. Jennifer even thoroughly explained the interview process to us and ran a mock interview with us so we were fully prepared before our actual interview. We will be going back to Jennifer for all our future immigration needs. (P.S.- what initially sold me on Jennifer was that she has a page on her website dedicated to Strongi Chang Cheung, the firm's very own Parabeagle. As an avid dog lover, I automatically fell in love with Strongi and knew in my gut that Jennifer was the right person to handle our case, and I'm so glad I trusted my gut and we went with her.)
