I was referred to this law firm by a good friend during an extremely serious and time-sensitive situation involving an emergency protection order. Unfortunately, my experience with this firm was extremely disappointing and, in my opinion, unacceptable. I initially spoke directly with Christopher, the owner/attorney, and explained the urgency of the situation and the circumstances we were dealing with. Based on what I told him, he assured me that this was something he could handle and that they would move forward. I was sent a retainer agreement, paid the requested fees, and believed the firm would act promptly given the seriousness of the situation. Unfortunately, after retaining the firm, my experience changed completely. Most of my communication was with a member of his staff,His sister! His sister who has no legal background or certifications was giving me legal advice that I felt was wrong and I repeatedly felt that my concerns were being challenged or dismissed rather than treated with the urgency I had explained from the beginning. I repeatedly told the firm that my wife and I were afraid for our safety and that we needed immediate help. For approximately five days, I felt that we were being delayed and strung along while I continued emphasizing how urgent the situation was. Tragically, during that period, the situation escalated. My wife and I were physically attacked inside our home, the police became involved, and the individual involved was arrested. This was exactly the type of escalation I had been trying to prevent when I originally contacted the firm seeking emergency legal protection. What makes this experience especially upsetting is that I retained this firm specifically because I believed immediate legal action was necessary. I cannot say what the outcome would have been had things been handled differently, but I can say that I repeatedly communicated the urgency and my fear that the situation could become violent. I have since filed a complaint with the State Bar regarding my concerns about the firm's handling of the matter, and I am considering pursuing additional legal remedies. This review reflects my personal experience and the events as I experienced them. When someone contacts an attorney during a potentially dangerous emergency, communication, urgency, and follow-through matter tremendously. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received those things from this firm. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this firm for an urgent protection-order matter. read more

As of March 16, 2026, it has been nearly ten months since I retained this attorney in June 2025 to expunge two misdemeanors, and I still have nothing to show for it. The lack of communication has been inexcusable. I have had to reach out every two to three months just to get any response, and I have the emails to prove it. Each time, I was reassured they were going "above and beyond" on my case. Yet the last time I heard from them was January 2026, and as usual, silence followed. I paid $3,000 for this representation. On top of that, they requested I obtain fingerprints at an additional cost of $165, which I did promptly. That money, like the rest, led nowhere--no updates, no results, no accountability. I have little hope this review will prompt any change -- this firm has made it abundantly clear that collecting fees is their priority, not delivering results. I am left deeply disappointed and frustrated, having trusted a law firm that took my money, made empty promises, and simply stopped caring. If you are considering hiring this attorney, please learn from my experience, save yourself the time, money, and aggravation. read more

DO NOT hire this law firm unless you want to pay $5,000+ for stress, negligence, and ghosting. My daughter and I hired this firm for a restraining order. They missed court deadlines, ignored repeated messages, billed me for calling to *ask why they weren't doing anything*, and billed over $2375 in hours after *we fired them*. I ended up filing the court paperwork myself, with no prep, no response draft, no subpoenas, and no support... all after they promised me they'd handle everything. Then, six weeks later, they magically produced an "invoice" with made-up charges after I filed a complaint with the State Bar. If you're scared, vulnerable, or in a serious legal situation **run.** these people are despicable crooks!!!! read more

Dawn Dunbar is an amazing attorney. It was so refreshing working with her . My life was turned upside down with this case and she handled me with care , and went in and got my case closed like a beast ! Thank you Dawn . read more

Dawn Dunbar is the absolute gold standard in this specific area of law. I am so grateful for her zealous protection of me. I highly recommend this firm. read more

The case didn't go to court but they still sent me an invoice over $8,000+ after weeks of me asking what the total came out to, and they most definitely did not do $8,000 worth of work, I was never prepped for court because I didn't go. Thankfully the case is settled now but you could easily find any law firm to settle a case outside of court for less. I wish I could say I had a better experience like the other reviews but they couldn't even obtain a police report successfully so I really would not reccomend. read more

These people are despicable crooks!!! I sent them a $5000 retainer and they basically ghosted me... I fired them and after 6 weeks of asking for my money back they sent me a fake bill for $4800!!! I complained to state bar and filed a small claims lawsuit. read more

They helped me get a restraining order against someone who is very dangerous. It was a pretty scary and uncomfortable situation. I felt it was of utmost importance to hire a firm who had expertise in this and they really delivered. The firm is courteous and kind. They really explain things to their clients. They also seem to care about their clients, which is a rare thing to find in an attorney. Their fees are extremely reasonable. They also helped me recover the attorney fees from the defendant. Dawn was my assigned attorney and she did an excellent job. She was so knowledgeable and very easy to deal with. Thank you so much for being there for me during a scary time. read more

Hired Christopher, as my attorney and they are doing an outstanding job. I highly recommend this them representing you, reviews speak volume.. and so dose their services. Rates are affordable. read more

Mr. Chris Chaney slayed this TRO filed by a JEALOUS neighbor who was in heated feud with me. Amazing what people try to do to you when they hate your advancements in life, and it brings out JEALOUS neighbors. Best thing I never set foot in the court. TRO was squashed, The End. This is the BEST LAW OFFICE for TRO they handle everything for you! Chris is exceptionally well at his craft." read more

do not let dawn dunbar represent you. don't do it. you will regret it!!!! would not even speak with me or prep me for closing statements or cross examination. omitted vital evidence provided to them. refused to meet with me in person despite the fact that i am disabled. dawn told me to text her questions to be asked of opposing party but refused to ask any of them. totally ignored me. my signature was forged on closing documents and never provided to me for over two months after the trial which i lost. i provided hundreds of documents and penal code sections but was totally ignored. i was more prepared as to the violations then the attorney's who never researched encroachment codes or fire hazard codes, but they never used the material i provided. i now have a restraining order against me from a neighbor who has been harassing me, constantly filming me, screaming obscenities at me and bolted his gate into my wall, despite the fact that i built it and provided the survey to dawn and chris. dawn never spoke to me when i confronted her about the forging of my signature. i have that document now. will the cal bar do anything about this misconduct? who knows but chris kept threatening me that i was asking to many questions with constant threats and let opposing counsel introduce hearsay evidence without any objection. the judge admonished me for calling the police but it was dawn who told me to do so she sat like an ice cold mannequibn and never fessed up. letters from my doctors, multiple pictures, reports from adult protective services never introduced, even the judge suggested she should have subpoened the police who wrote reports but she failed to do that also. she was way buddy buddy with opposing counsel. i never received the final declaration which should have been delivered to me by courier or fedex since i was on zoom due yo my heart condition and other infirmities. needless to say i lost the case and my money down the drain and was forced to pay opposing parties fees, as well. totally unprofessional and vindictive. do not hire this firm. i am 75 with multiple medical conditions. these people are malicious, incompetent and heartless but they will take your money and sell you down the river. chris did nothing to prepare me for cross examination and let dawn's vindictive behavior towards me prevail. out $40,000, but the injustice and the manner in which i was treated by this law firm is much more egregious then the monies i was force to spend due to their gross misconduct. chris had to know what she was doing and promised to be there for closing arguments, he lied and never showed up at court or i reiterate prepped me for cross examination which was unbearable and has exacerbated my serious health conditions and my neighbors are still at it, emboldened by the horrible representation i recieved from chris chaney's office which he let dawn steam roll me. gross misconduct by ignoring the client's needs and repeated requests. ignored totally. read more

Chris Chaney is great. He was referred to me by another former client. I thought my situation would be rather simple and made much easier by hiring a professional. Mr. Chaney quickly put my mind at ease with his professionalism. Unfortunately, the situation became complicated despite Mr. Chaney's and my best efforts to head off potential trouble at the pass. Ultimately, it became an embroiled mess. Unfortunately I am not here to say that I am giving 5 stars because Mr. Chaney was able to facilitate justice or get my objectives accomplished. The sad truth is that a lot about the "Justice System" is a crap shoot and it's terrifying how little we can affect outcomes sometimes, no matter where the truth is. But Mr. Chaney was dedicated and never abandoned my case even when it turned out to be a giant mess and a lot more hearings than it should have been. He's a truly good human and really wants to help people. It was definitely not Mr. Chaney's fault that things turned into a dumpster fire and believe me, I've done the post op and would love to blame somebody. So. You're probably going through some ill life stuff if you need an attorney in this area and you'd be in good hands with Mr. Chaney. As horrid as everything was, it did take some of the sting out that Mr. Chaney was skilled, caring and professional. It didn't go my way but I'm grateful. I don't think anybody else could have done better considering the con artist I was dealing with. read more

I can not say enough good things about Chris and his team. They go above and beyond to give their clients a fair chance with their cases. A cousin of mine hired him a few months ago and had a favorable outcome because of his tenacity. Being that the case went so well I decided to refer him to a friend of mine and Chris secured them a great deal. I will definitely be referring him to anyone who needs a criminal attorney because Chris is the best. I appreciate his attention to detail and responsiveness. He truly cares about his clients and wants them to go on and live great lives free of legal issues. read more

I retained Chris Cháney for a TRO, from day one he knew what he was doing, his work was impressive. When we went to the court hearing, Chris was prepared (he did a great job with my declaration and preparing evidence) and when he crossed examined the other party, his questions were short but meaningful. Chris work was so good that the Judge did not need me to take the stand because Chris did a great job discrediting the other party, my constitutional rights were protected with Chris, the judge ruled in my favor without me testifying. I strongly recommend Chris for any of your legal work, he will prevail! read more

So let me first start out by saying that Mr Chaney is as professional as they come I had some questions regarding a restraining order mind you I'm a person calling him for advice and he took his time out of his day to talk on the phone for like 25 mins and invited me to his office to further speak cause I was going to retain his firm to draft up some documents Iike the attention to detail was incredible he treated me sooo normal and he listened to all the questions I had and gave me amazing advice I could only imagine what he will do for you if he represents you extremely nice and thoughtful and caring I genuinely appreciate him he's doing a great service I may come back to him for another matter thank you read more

Mr. Chaney and his law firm did an incredible job of helping me navigate through a stressful period of my life. I had a TRO brought upon me by a person who had broken my jaw in a nightclub in 2011. Luckily for me, and through Mr. Chaney and his law firm's incredible job, the judge threw the TRO in the garbage where it belonged. I will never forget what Mr. Chaney and his law firm did for me. I give him my absolute highest recommendation to anybody in need of legal defense. Thank you so much. read more

If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney, give Chris Chaney a call. Chris helped me with a small legal matter and I really couldn't be more pleased with the experience. I felt like Chris was genuinely looking out for me and my best interests and so would absolutely recommend him without hesitation. Oh, and he was always available to take my call, responded today emails right away :) read more

I highly recommend Chris Chaney. I've known Chris for almost a decade, and can say that he is one of the most honorable, genuinely kind and intelligent people I've ever met. He recently helped me with a legal issue, that literally lifted a million dollar weight of my shoulders. With his quick mind, he untangled a web, drilled down to the heart of the matter, and communicated a plan of action in terms I could understand. Chris also has true empathy for others. It's simply not in him to take advantage of someone, a quality that is rare. Chris Chaney is honest, hardworking, determined, caring and utterly professional. His qualities set him apart from the vast majority of the other lawyers out there. You couldn't ask for a better attorney to represent you. read more

Initially I'm skeptical of lawyers so it was nice right from the start to have a referral for this man Christopher. And I must say he lived up to my expectations which are easy-going, attention to detail and doesn't procrastinate: all complaints that I could have for lawyers in the past. If you want a comfortable, easy-going, shoot straight from the hip, friendly relationship with your lawyer then this is your go to man. It has been a very positive experience. read more
