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.

It was my first time at a civil hearing, and frankly, I was shocked watching others present themselves unprepared. It made me so glad to have Pamala by my side. She was completely prepared, knew exactly what to do, and took all the pressure off me. I only had to answer a few easy questions regarding dates, while she presented the evidence efficiently--focusing only on what mattered to the judge. I realized that what the court thinks is important isn't always what I think is important. I am so glad I left this to a professional; I was granted the order I sought, with a longer duration than usual. Not only that, I was happy to hear from Pamala that the hearing did not use up my entire retainer. Thanks, Pamala!

Jill helped me understand what to expect, how to prioritize, and next steps in sequence. Even though she will not be involved in any of this. Just out of the goodness of her heart, and I suspect a very strong ethical code. A true humanitarian and advocate.

She helped me understand the law and see areas I should offer more leeway while at the same time encouraging me to take a stronger stance about issues that really mattered. She also gave incredibly valuable guidance on legal issues that had been overlooked in mediation; such insights lead to substantial changes to the final agreement in my favor. She and her team are incredibly efficient and also provided a lot of follow-up and warm support. I know Brook would have been a great lawyer in court, but with her guideance I was able to save additional time and money and complete mediation after a few sessions. With Brook's advice I participated in mediation with greater confidence and the final agreement was much fairer. Now that the divorce is behind us, my relationship with my ex is improving and coparenting is much smoother. I would highly recommend Meakin's Law!
