The request for information he asks for sometimes made me feel like it is over the top, but when it came to the mandatory settlement conference, I finally understood the method to his madness as he walked all over opposing counsel because of his preparation. It was obvious they were ill prepared and no match for Chris's strategy. The exhibits and case law that he presented were so abundant that they didn't have anything to counter, had no push back, and accepted our offer. As far as billing, every month I would get a detailed accounting of the work he would put in on my case, matching the accounting I had recorded, which made me trust he wasn't padding the bills like most attorneys do. I am so grateful I found him and would give him as many stars as they would allow me to give. I would recommend him to anyone wanting sound advice, reasonable fees, and a very well prepared attorney on your side.

During my consultation with Mr. Boyer I found him to be knowledgeable regarding my rights, answered all my questions thoroughly and was extremely professional. I knew immediately he was the right choice to represent me. Mr Boyer and his staff did an excellent job throughout my entire divorce. They submitted the proper documents and answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. He backed up all our conversations with an email to clarify what was discussed and eliminate any confusion about the process. While counsel for my ex-wife was less than stellar, Mr. Boyer consistently remained calm, professional and informed me of my rights. Mr. Boyer helped me to make fair and rational decisions until we finalized the divorce. Thank you MSM Family Law! I would also like to thank Sara and Stacie in Mr. Boyer's office. They were efficient and compassionate during what was a lengthy and frustrating case. I would highly recommend MSM Family Law and Jeremy Boyer to anyone looking for a competent law firm

Before I share my horrific experience, I want to warn all those that are in a custody cases and/or…read morechild support your case may be overlooked getting a reasonable outcome with this attorney. William Fuhrman has shown me once again zero faith in legal services here in San Diego. He has now cost me the safety of my child, time and money for refiling, and unfair moneys that are due because of the lack of representation in my custody hearing. He has exhibited negligence and carelessness in my case which is a little more complex. He is rude, intolerable, blatantly ignores communications that would make him work for answers, and lacks seriousness in court. Getting on to my experience, I hired William to handle my custody case and child support. Firstly, I made it clear before the contract I would only use $4000 max for services. Of course, after I fired him he decides to overcharge me. I made myself very clear that I wanted to get full physical and legal custody of my daughter. William actually told me I am not going to get that granted. I told him I want to try anyway for the safety of my daughter. I gave him the long explanation of the dangerous living environment for my daughter due to a heavy drug user at my ex's home. It was imperative I get my daughter out of there. After I had a mediation with family court services they even recommended to the judge I should have full custody of my daughter and limited visitation to my ex. I expressed my deep concern and request for full custody with family court services. With them recommending to the judge it shouldn't be that hard from this point. Well, William for some reason filed with the court a lesser time than 50% and an outrageous visitation schedule. William didn't listen nor keep up with my case with new events happening as I needed to correspond with him on such events. Even on the day of the hearing he LEFT the computer while the names were being called which in turn was not present when the judge called us into the hearing. When I called him to let him know this he told me he had to just step away for a while. I enforced my position in going with the family court services recommendation to have full custody. He then went back to the hearing wait room and didn't even bother to speak up to the judge to get our case heard. We were told we will have to come back the next day. William is now charging me for that day we missed. So, you will get charged for his mistakes. Next day, he started the hearing telling the judge the family court services recommendations were too harsh and would contest the recommendation. I had no idea what he was saying that morning with his legal terminology and considering I knew I had already told him my request for custody. I later read deeply into the subject of the hearing and my stomach dropped. The judge was giving my ex more than 50% of custody and making me do the drop off and pick ups at a Vons which was close to my ex. William neglected many of my requests to the judge that day. Returning my daughters passport, paying back all the monitor visits my ex was to pay, requesting time back with my daughter since my ex was using the court as an advantage claiming multiple TRO that were granted. All restraining attempts were denied by the judge. Requesting at least an emergency holiday vacation for my daughter to see her family for the first time over the holidays. Nope, he also made a BS schedule for holidays. All of this and he couldn't even take the time to explain to me what the orders were after the judge made them. He was too bitter because I told him that was a poor job he did, then asked him to file an appeal or somehow fix what he did. I expressed I would not be continuing with him if he didn't fix this. This ultimately ending our last conversation on the phone with William saying "go fuck yourself". Then hung up. To speak more of his unprofessionalism, William sent me emails containing another clients case information with a settlement negotiation. It makes me wonder if my case information has been shared with another party. Ask yourself if you would want your case information being shared to a random person...(maybe a hacker.) That puts us all at risk. More disregard or irresponsibility to my case he would call me to ask information that was already provided to him in previous emails. As a firm they have staff to read through emails for information.

When I first retained Men's Legal, I was told the case would not cost more than $4,000, even on the…read morehigh end. That turned out to be false. I have already paid $4,824.95 and was just billed another $1,575. To make matters worse, my attorney, Francisco Batara, attended a critical video hearing from the DMV while handling personal business, not even in a private or professional setting. He later claimed the Judge never read the X factors, but if he had been competent and focused, he would have realized that $500 a month in support for four children--with me having physical custody and the respondent at 40% timeshare--made no sense. His lack of attention cost me significantly and dragged this case out much longer than necessary. Because he missed the Judge's reasoning during that hearing, he later told me he had already drafted a Request for Order to correct the issue--but said he couldn't file it until I paid the remainder of my bill, which was $825. After I paid that, I was then hit with yet another $1,575 charge once he filed. This firm is not worth it. Between the misleading estimates, excessive billing, and lack of professionalism, I would not recommend Men's Legal.

I rarely write reviews, but after my experience with Goldberg Jones, I felt compelled to share how…read moregrateful I am for the outstanding representation I received especially from attorney Svetlana Couture. From the very beginning, Svetlana demonstrated an incredible level of professionalism, preparation, and dedication. I was facing one of the most difficult and stressful situations of my life, and her strategic approach immediately gave me confidence that I had the right advocate in my corner. She remained focused on the facts, stayed several steps ahead throughout the process, and consistently provided honest, straightforward guidance. What impressed me most was her ability to analyze every aspect of the case, anticipate challenges before they arose, and execute a clear plan. Thanks to her hard work and unwavering advocacy, the temporary restraining order matter against me was ultimately dismissed. Throughout the entire process, she helped me stay patient, trust the process, and remain focused on the bigger picture. I also want to recognize Goldberg Jones as a firm. In a legal system that often feels tilted in favor of women and mothers, Goldberg Jones genuinely stands up for men's and fathers' rights. They understand the challenges fathers face and are committed to ensuring their clients receive fair treatment and strong representation. That commitment was evident in every interaction I had with the firm. Successful outcomes like mine do not happen by accident. They are the result of countless hours of preparation, attention to detail, and attorneys who truly care about their clients. Svetlana Couture exemplifies all of those qualities. I am incredibly grateful for everything Svetlana and the team at Goldberg Jones did for me and my family. If you are a father or man looking for knowledgeable, dedicated, and effective legal representation, I highly recommend Goldberg Jones and, in particular, Svetlana Couture. Thank you again for everything.
