He assumed because I was presenting a voluntary project (on my end) I was asking for some type of favor. Call these guys if you want to be cut off multiple times and talked down to. Still offered to do the work when he realized I expected to pay after being cantankerous the entire time. Not counsel for creators, just a regular old impatient jerk of a lawyer. Editing to add that I had to call the office to get them to call me at the scheduled time. No respect for a your time when they are late to a scheduled call. Editing to respond: one of my business partners walked in during this call and immediately remarked on the tone being dismissive and rude. After them making that observation I immediately called the front desk to ask that the summary not be moved forward as to not waist more time. Then another person called back asking why I called and I told them again. So I guess communication is an issue all around. There were no "pointing toward other resources", which we didn't need anyway, just being written off until I had to insist, somewhat astoundingly, that I expected to pay. Then I gave you a quote I had already gotten from another lawyer. Then a price was finally put forth. It has been mentioned in other yelp reviews that you push ppl to write good reviews and I should have been more wary of that possibility. I'm not sure your reviews reflect anything other than a business strategy.

The team provided me with information that helped me to get a better understanding of the issue. I think they are a solid company to use for legal advice with 2 general caveats. 1.) As the client, you need to come in having performed basic research (a la Google). This will help you get the most bang for your buck. 2.) FOLLOW-UP. I have worked with attorneys, I have a Masters of Law, and volunteered at legal clinics, the client that vehemently follows up may be annoying but they get remembered. Be an advocate for yourself. I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because I am a hard grader. I work in professional services and have supreme high standards when it comes to rating services. I've seen the best and work with the best so I don't give out 5's casually. The service has to wow me AND surpass all my expectations with a soupçon of over and above. This wasn't that. But their service was as promised, effective, and delivered. That makes them a solid option and better than other lawyers that will take your money, leave you naked, and make you bitter about working with attorneys. I recommend them.

Sorry, as a paying client, I don't want to hear that. I want my lawyer to be swamped helping me, not putting me on the back burner. I have found that in general, attorney patent filing fees are absurd. I didn't end up using the attorney for that, not because I couldn't afford it, but because despite my questioning for details and fee justification, he failed to convince me that the time he claimed that would be invested in my filing was worth the thousands of dollars he charges. There is so much good, accurate and FREE information on the Internet/YouTube on this subject. I filed my patent by myself with success. I have no problem paying for advice but this firm turned cold toward me when they realized I wasn't going to throw tons of money at them for the filing. They did a great job making me feel like they were doing me a favor and even that I was a nuisance. I could never recommend them.

I always would go to him when I had a legal question, knowing he'd give me an excellent pros/cons, risks/rewards analysis of any legal issue I might have bring him. When he opened his practice, I retained him immediately. While I may not have issues pertaining to IP (although I probably will at some point), I'm sure I'll need legal counsel in general for my business. One of his best qualities is his ability to quickly adapt to a variety of legal situations and outline several options for his clients. However, his best quality, and one that can be hard to find in an attorney, is he is truly trustworthy and reliable. If he tells me he's going to look into something, it'll be him who does it. If I need a contract drafted, I know he'll be the one who drafts it. He doesn't just take your money and pass it off to a 1st year associate. You'll understand what I mean when you request a consultation with him.

With my…read morecriminal record, I was trying to apply for citizenship and was honestly scared about the possibility of being referred to immigration court. She recommended Attorney Noreen--and that recommendation truly changed everything for me. From the very beginning, Noreen showed not only incredible knowledge in both immigration and criminal law, but also genuine care and understanding for my situation. She took the time to guide me, reassure me, and help me feel hopeful during a very stressful and uncertain time in my life. Her experience and dedication made all the difference. What felt overwhelming at first became a smooth and steady process because of her. I am beyond grateful for her support and expertise, and I can't recommend her enough.

Noreen was my lawyer, recommended to me by her father, Gustavo Barcena. Unfortunately, I was very…read moredisappointed with many aspects of my experience. I'm writing this review in hopes that Noreen has improved in these areas, including the way her staff handles cases and communicates with clients. Here are a few areas where, based solely on my personal experience, I believe there was room for improvement: * Speaking confidently and professionally during court proceedings * Being knowledgeable and prepared regarding the details of a client's case * Knowing her clients and their basic case information * Meeting filing deadlines * Communication with clients and their families I do have to acknowledge that not everything about my experience was bad. Noreen did ultimately help get me released from the Adelanto Detention Center. I was not released at my first bond hearing, but I was eventually released at my six-month Rodriguez bond hearing. I am grateful for that. However, during court proceedings, I often felt that Noreen struggled to speak to the judge fluently, confidently, and professionally. She would frequently get stuck, stutter, or appear to scramble for the right words. In my opinion, part of the reason seemed to be a lack of preparation regarding the details of my case. I understand that attorneys can have many clients and that it can be difficult to keep track of every detail. However, there were times when I felt as though she went into court without being fully prepared for my case. During court, she would sometimes pause and ask me for important information. For example, on one occasion she stopped and asked me, "Where did you enter the USA?" There were also multiple occasions when she got my name wrong during court. As a client, I would at least expect my attorney to know my correct name and basic information about my case. There were also many times when the judge would stop the proceedings and correct or scold her because of incorrect or missing information. At times, these exchanges were embarrassing to witness. She would apologize to the judge and then continue after providing or obtaining the correct information. In my case specifically, there were also issues with filing deadlines. There were times when the judge would ask her why something had not been filed. Her responses would be along the lines of, "I'm sorry, Your Honor, I just sent it in," or that she had the paperwork with her and would be submitting it while requesting additional time. From my perspective, these issues caused unnecessary delays in my case. After I was released from the Adelanto Detention Center, I was applying for cancellation of removal. Because I had been released and my case was continuing, I expected her to apply for a work permit for me. In my case, that did not happen for months. Eventually, she filed for it. Later, when that work permit was approaching expiration, I was not notified that I needed to apply for a renewal. As a result, I ultimately lost my work authorization. My family and I also gave her hundreds and hundreds of dollars throughout my case. There were times when she requested funds for applications that, to my understanding, were ultimately not filed. While I was detained at Adelanto, she asked my family for a $1,800 money order to file Form I-485 through my spouse. My family provided the money order so that the application could be filed, even though my case was not yet at that stage. Eventually, I stopped providing additional money, and Noreen withdrew from my case. I asked her to refund any unused funds associated with forms or applications that had been requested but were never filed. Her response was that those funds had been used to file for my work permit. Unfortunately, things became more difficult after she withdrew from my case because I needed to obtain my case file from her. This was one of the hardest parts of the entire experience. I was told that part of my file had been shredded and that some documents had been provided to me electronically in PDF format. I was also told that another portion of my file was in storage and could not immediately be accessed. It took several weeks before I finally received part of my file, while I was told that the remainder had already been shredded. In the end, I can't simply say that Noreen is a bad lawyer. Perhaps I hired her during the earlier years of her career and while she was still building her practice. Maybe she took on too many cases at once. I honestly don't know. What I do know is that, based on my personal experience, I would not hire her again to represent me in court. I see that Noreen is now very involved in the community, and I genuinely hope that she has grown from her earlier experiences and continues to improve her practice. Most importantly, I hope she is able to provide strong representation and truly help others who are in need.
