True Advocacy: Fixed a Previous Attorney's Mistakes and Secured Our Future…read more Words cannot express my gratitude for Jonathan Hosford and his incredible staff, especially Victoria. My late husband worked for PG&E for 45 years, but while battling late-stage pancreatic cancer, his $1.33M pension was wrongfully blocked due to a fraudulent domestic order. We had previously paid a different local law group over $60,000, only for our case to sit stagnant for months while they pushed us toward devastating financial decisions.When we found Jonathan, he originally had a three-month waitlist. However, once he heard the absolute urgency of my husband's health and the injustice of our situation, his compassion took over. He stepped in immediately. Throughout this entire painful process, Victoria was a lifeline--always supportive, responsive, and deeply kind. Jonathan quickly identified three distinct Family Code violations (2550, 2556, and 2610) that prior counsel had completely missed, and filed the necessary motions.Tragically, my husband passed away before the hearing, and the opposing party evaded service for six months. Despite these heartbreaking hurdles, Jonathan and his team never gave up on us. He stayed dedicated to me as a widow, navigating complex service issues and bringing the truth to light in front of the judge. Thanks to Jonathan's relentless work, the judge agreed to sign the order, and the case is finally in judgment. While the wheels of justice can move slowly, Jonathan achieved what the previous firm couldn't. Because of him, my husband's final wishes were honored, and I am able to stay in our dream home we purchased together. If we had hired Jonathan first, my husband could have collected his rightful pension during his lifetime. Jonathan and his wonderful staff provide a rare combination of legal brilliance and genuine heart

Exceptionally and refreshingly professional, proficient and effective. From business experience, most of the negative comments on Yelp, if not all, typically are a result of unrealistic expectations. We all suffer from inefficient communication skills while under stress, especially when confronted with legal matters. Others may be influenced by anxiety and/or apprehension caused by unknown, unpredictable results from already distressing issues (divorces, business dissolution, etc). As a member of a group, a network, who are extremely skeptical and CRITICAL of attorneys, I can't speak strongly or highly enough about the effectiveness and efficiency of Hosford & Hosford/Hosford Family Law (San Luis Obispo). Best wishes for resolving your stressful issues and remember, the key to successful results is communication (ask questions, clarify, verify, double and triple verify even at the risk of sounding annoying!)

What truly set them apart was Jonas's incredible personal touch--he would regularly hop on hour-long phone calls with my brother and me, not just to discuss legal details, but to provide genuine emotional support.

Peter, I owe you an apology. My review should of been written MANY months ago. I got caught up in…read morethe exhilaration of my BF's case being dropped, the pandemic and just life itself. Peter Depew is THE BEST ATTORNEY in SLO and Universal. I say this from the bottom of my heart. His retainer was 1/10th less, was one 0 less than the cost of what 3 other attorneys required. Peter was patient and listened to what I felt was the route we should pursue for his legal defense. Other attorneys and even my BF didn't think this was possible, the one charged, did not believe that he would be granted a suppression hearing, nevertheless win the suppression hearing. I DID, PETER DID When this "situation" occurred, which was that a hotel employee called the police on me (female) for trying to check in at the hotel with an expired drivers license during the pandemic. We were driving up and down the coast for my birthday, from Southern California. My birthday is August 8th and we went to check into this particular hotel August 14th. Now mind you, we have a runny stayed in several hotels since my drivers license technically expired but because of the pandemic all expiration dates on expired drivers licenses were extended until December 31, 2021. The front desk person said, and a very silly town, that he can check me in because my drivers license was expired and long story short I thought he was joking and I was very tired and I said come on please check me in and he said if I don't leave he'll call the police. So I said OK call the police, I figured they would help me out. I figured the policeman will ask the clerk what's wrong and the police officer within tell the clerk OK all drivers licenses are extended through the end of the year on her drivers license and it's OK to check her in it's considered valid. The officer that came into the lobby approached me very aggressively, asking me, you have a fake ID? My reply to him was, fake ID? I have no idea what you're talking about. So I gave him my drivers license he runs it he sees that everything's OK with my drivers license and he just says let's see what's going on outside with your boyfriend. I'm thinking why is anyone outside with my boyfriend, he's just sitting in the car waiting for my stubborn ass to come outside. The police decided that they had probable cause to have him step outside of his car and search his car. I forgot what the exact charges were, all I can tell you is they weren't good. Besides me being shocked that searched his car, while I stood there dummified, I was doubly shocked with what they charged him with. He's back on track now, thank g_d, all good. Back to how amazingly, awesome Peter Depew is. So like the other three attorneys that I emailed, Peter called us, we explained the situation, I presented the facts that I felt established that my BF was illegally searched. I asked Peter if he would file for the evidence to be suppressed. Unlike the other attorneys, who were the seasoned attorneys, who thought I was NUTS, Peter said, "Helene, If everything you're telling me is accurate and truthful then he has a good case and yes I will file for a suppression hearing. The other attorneys basically said, listen what are you telling us doesn't make any sense and you probably don't have all the information. Even if what you're saying is true, the likelihood of being granted the evidence hearing is not likely and even if he is granted evidence hearing, the request to suppress evidence to be granted is so slim ......... the retainer is $$$$$$$$$ add a 0 to what Peter's retainer fee. Besides Peter being an EXCELLENT attorney, he thinks outside of the box, he is open minded, he is kind, he is willing to work with you AND he LOVES HIS MOM A LOT!!!!! Peter's love and respect for his mom surpass' the excellence of his stellar work. THANK YOU PETER. THANK YOU PETER'S MOM FOR RAISING SUCH A WONDERFUL MAN AND ATTORNEY.
