It's hard to put into words how much gratitude I have for Cameron Fernandez and his team. When I…read morefound Cameron, I was exhausted and terrified about entering a custody battle. My case was complex, involving substance abuse, and I knew I needed someone who could truly understand addiction and fight for both me, the child and the recovering parent. He spent over an hour listening to my concerns during my consultation and assured me that he felt confident in taking on my case. And once we got to work, I knew I made the right choice in retaining him. Over the course of several months we worked together closely piecing together evidence and building a solid foundation. Cameron was always quick to answer my questions, was honest about realistic outcomes and did his best to keep the billing fair and at a minimum. But most importantly, Cameron did an excellent job at communicating with the opposing party that our goal was not to isolate the child or cause shame, but to establish long-term sobriety and stability for our child. Throughout the course of my case, the child remained in my care with frequent contact with the other parent as sobriety was established (which was our goal). Fast forward to today, thanks to Cameron, Kenneth and the rest of the team at CMF Law, I am now in a healthy co-parenting relationship and our child has both parents in their life. I am forever grateful for my decision to hire Cameron and can not recommend him enough.

His office was COMPLETE mess; files and stacks of paper all over his desk and all over his office. He kept taking other calls during my consultation. He was on one call when he totally lost his temper and started using the f--k, God Da-- it, sh-- words, etc. at his staff. I found him to be extremely unprofessional, rude, disrespectful, and asked a lot low-level and irrelevant questions. At the end of our meeting, he gave me a contract to sign. After this unprofessional encounter, I decided to read his Yelp reviews (2.2 out of 5.0). To say the least, his 2.2 score and the reviews are extremely frightening and alarming. Amongst many other allegations, this man sounds like a fraud. Ed Somogyi is a TOTAL disaster and should be disbarred. For your own good, avoid him at ALL costs.

I'm going to file a formal complaint to the California State Bar Association for his handling of fees and practices. He charged me for a consultation for 30 minutes and then told me he didn't have the time to take my case. If there are others who have had a similar experience with him, I encourage you to join me. I am extremely saddened about this as I was taken advantage of and gave him a week to respond with nothing. Again I went to him because of his father's legacy in San Luis Obispo, CA. Unfortunately he is not his father and wasted my time and money with no response. There's a reason he doesn't have a good review on yelp. I went against my instincts because of how good his father was as a lawyer in town. Buyer beware!

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

Typically we (Veteran's network) avoid using Yelp or submitting Yelp feedback, however, Stephen,…read moreValerie and son John are the exceptions. 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!)

I could not find one attorney to say anything positive about Bill and 805. There are great and very professional attorneys out there. They are to hard to find, but they do exist. After contacting over 45 local law firms, I finally found 'my guy'. While his office is in San Diego, he is worth every penny, and I feel blessed to have finally found the right attorney.
