    Consistently has his client's best interest at heart. His management style is different than some, but he consistently gets the results!

    Laurel was an incredible help to my sister when we ran into passport issues while out of the…read morecountry. We reached out to her by email and she responded to us expeditiously with a lot of great information we were able to work with right away. After hearing about our situation, she provided us sensible counsel with regards to our legal options and the family law procedures we should take. Laurel is very honest, trust-worthy, empathetic and knowledgeable in her field. We were extremely lucky to have found her and grateful that she represented us. Two days after we retained Laurel and her law office, we were able to get the proper, signed consent forms from the dissenting party. And, this allowed us to get the emergency passports for the children and fly back to the US. Thank you to Laurel and her team for being there for us during a most difficult time.

    Our family went through an unimaginable nightmare that I wouldn't wish on anyone. My sister's…read moreex-boyfriend came home one night drunk and violently attacked her and our entire family. He was arrested, but days later he posted bail and was set free. We believed we had an airtight case: over 20 photos showing the injuries, a video of him admitting guilt, and statements from the children confirming the abuse. We thought the truth would prevail without the need for an attorney. We were wrong. Just three days before our family court hearing, he maliciously filed a false CPS report claiming my sister abused the children. CPS showed up without a professional sign language interpreter, despite my sister's deafness, and I had to step in to interpret. The children clearly told CPS they felt unsafe with their father and confirmed the abuse. Even though CPS wrote this in their report, in court his attorney twisted the facts, claimed I manipulated the conversation, and had the report thrown out on a technicality. Within five minutes, the judge shockingly awarded full custody to the abuser, who still had pending felony charges. In the following weeks, CPS reopened the case and we watched helplessly as the children were interrogated under their father's influence. It was the most unjust and painful experience of our lives. That's when we hired Christopher Hernandez in Riverside, thinking legal representation would save us. Unfortunately, Christopher failed us at every turn. We paid nearly $15,000 for constant frustration. He rarely answered calls, forcing me to call multiple times a day just to get any response. He juggled too many cases at once and admitted to it. Worst of all, when it came to court, he repeatedly forgot the facts of our case--facts I had thoroughly gone over with him many times. Every time we appeared before a judge, the opposing attorney ran circles around him, leaving us devastated and without real representation. It was clear he never truly cared about our family or the outcome. In what felt like our final attempt to save the children, we contacted the office at Laurel Buchanan. From the moment we spoke, Laurel's intelligence, professionalism, and genuine care were evident. She listened carefully as I explained the entire case and, within minutes, repeated back every critical detail with precision. Unlike the first attorney, she immediately identified where the court and CPS had failed and laid out a real legal strategy. Laurel showed us laws and protocols the previous attorney never even mentioned. She made it clear we had a legal path to reverse this injustice. Laurel and Wendy fought for us like no one else. Her knowledge of family law was unmatched, and she approached the case with both sharp legal skill and sincere compassion. She battled a dishonest opposing attorney and a flawed system with tireless dedication. Thanks to her and Wendy, we won. The custody order was reversed, and the children were returned to my sister. It was such an emotional victory that my sister cried--and Laurel, who had poured her heart into our case, shed tears with us. Laurel Buchanan didn't treat us like just another file; she treated us like family and fought for us as if it were her own loved ones in danger. She changed our lives. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone who needs an advocate against a broken system or a manipulative opposing party. She is brilliant, fierce, and compassionate--the very definition of what an attorney should be. Thank you Laurel, here I am a year later writing this review and I am still left for words for everything you did for us. When we thought it was almost over for us, you came to save and change our life's forever. We are forever thankful with you and Wendy, and the team. Thank you.

    I retained Rebecca in 2022 for a DVRO that my ex husband had tried to file on me Rebecca subpoenaed…read morethe Norco sheriff and used all my evidence that my ex husband's false R/O was a complete lie! I walked out of court with full custody and my ex was on supervised visits and he got a R/O against him!! That was a huge win because I was terrified!! Then that's when my ex husband's games really started! My ex then said I was crazy and on drugs and had me do a 730 evaluation and even tho he failed the evaluation? The dirty doctor gave him 50/50 custody? Then my poor son was living a nightmare!! My ex didn't stop with his lies and false accusations and poor Rebecca stayed by my side through all of this it was a nightmare for both of us! Repeated false CPS reports that just turned around and bit my ex in the butt! Evidence for miles and go to court? You have one judge that listens to everything? And a judge who can careless? My ex tested dirty not once but twice with CPS and came back inconclusive every single time? And the judges did absolutely nothing? He broke in my house we filed a R/O once again? And the judge just threw it out! Oh believe me it was like going through hell I was stressed out ! I have been accused of everything bad under the sun!! It's also exhausting and scary! His family also barged in my house and attacked me? Rebecca fought very hard for me from start to finish over 3.5 yrs where she was completely over my case but she didn't give up.. At the end of the day I walked away from everything but got full sole legal custody of my son and moved 2200 miles away. To me that was the biggest win. I am finally free and so is my son I knew it was all about money and the house and Rebecca made it happen. The court system is terrible and I don't wish that on my worst enemy!! My ex had money and used the court system as a further way of abuse and Rebecca saved my A$$ ! If it was not for Rebecca I would have lost everything!! It was the divorce from hell!! Instead of moving on like adults do? He wanted to see me suffer and used the court system to do it. And now he got fired rite before his second child support payment.. But that's KARMA maybe if he focused on himself instead of focusing on trying to ruin me things would be different.. I am going to miss Rebecca and Lisa but I'm glad this is finally done.

Rebecca's paralegal was especially wonderful, she took the time to walk me through the forms, answered my questions clearly, and made sure everything was completed correctly. Her patience and attention to detail made the process much less stressful. I really appreciated the support and professionalism and would absolutely recommend this firm.

    My husband and I made an appointment to have our living trust completed on August 26th and due to a…read morefamily emergency, we were not able to make it. I called to reschedule for Monday at 11:00. Prior to going to the appointment this morning, I asked if they would honor the coupon for 15% off (totaling a $225 discount). Roberta said unequivocally no because the coupon says no exceptions and the coupon expired yesterday, August 30, which was the day before our appointment, on a Sunday. I explained we were scheduled for last week but needed to reschedule. She said they wouldn't honor the coupon but they would give me the $50 referral discount because my sister referred me. I let her know what a disappointment it was especially because I had two people lined up ready to use their services but will not be referring them to any longer. They literally missed out on $4,500 worth of business because of a $225 discount they refused to give. Roberta was smug in her response. What I really wanted to tell her if there are no clients, guess what?? They won't need you. There's a difference between following the letter of a policy and choosing to provide exceptional customer service. Policies may set the minimum standard, but how a business chooses to treat its customers is what defines it.
