I don't take writing a review like this lightly, and it genuinely disappoints me that I feel…read morecompelled to do so, but here I am. First and foremost, Mr. Weimer is a good person. However, my experience with him in a family law matter did not meet the level of advocacy required, especially in a high-conflict custody case. Throughout my case, I consistently struggled to receive meaningful legal analysis or a clear, proactive strategy. Communication often felt like a relay of opposing counsel's positions rather than actual advocacy. In multiple instances, I found myself drafting the substance of responses, which were then sent to opposing counsel with little to no substantive legal refinement or independent input. I raised this concern more than once, yet the pattern continued, communications closely mirrored my original language rather than reflecting strategic legal counsel. Family law, particularly custody litigation, requires decisive action, forward planning, and the ability to push back effectively. In my experience, that level of representation was not present. There were also notable delays in advancing key aspects of the case, including a failure to draft a requested stipulation. This left me entering critical stages of the process without defined terms, often feeling as though things were being handled reactively rather than strategically. What ultimately made the difference clear was the contrast after I changed counsel. In a single day with my new attorney, more substantive progress was made than in the year-plus I was represented by Mike. That level of movement and clarity underscored what had been missing throughout my case. I would not recommend Mr. Weimer for high-conflict custody matters or, frankly, for contested family law cases in general. In contrast, during a brief court appearance handled by his office partner, Kelly, I saw a noticeable difference in advocacy and effectiveness in just that one instance. Again, I do not question Mr. Weimer character. However, based on my experience, I would only recommend him for more amicable matters or areas outside of contested family law, where a high level of strategic advocacy is not required.

I have been a paralegal my entire life and embarrassed to say that I found myself in a horrible…read morecivil litigation matter. I purchased a home in December 2012 only to find leaks, mold, and dry rot the day I moved in. Even though I hired a home inspector and obtained pest and roof inspections, they all failed me and the seller lied and didn't disclose the massive mold and dry rot issues and standing water under the home. It was a nightmare and I had to move out of 1/3 of my home and seal it off due to hazardous contamination. The seller later filed bankruptcy. I first hired Michael Fluetsch in Lodi who essentially did nothing but bill us $10,000 in a 6 month period. I then went to Art Small in Stockton, who took my case on contingency. If it weren't for him trusting in me and our case, I would have been screwed and lost everything. The case was complicated because of the bankruptcy, but Art fought on my behalf in both BK and civil court and ultimately I received far more than I ever would have expected. I won't be rich but can now finally make all repairs and then some. Art went above and beyond and put up with my constant questioning. I now consider him a personal friend. He is hard working, honest, and fair...something hard to find these days especially in an attorney. I've worked with many, but Art is as good as they come. He really knows his stuff, especially in debt collection and litigation, and how to play the game. Fluetsch basically told me I had no case but took my money anyway. Art worked his ass off for 2.5 years because he believed I was wronged and that meant everything. Fortunately, it finally paid off for both of us. I highly, highly recommend him!!

To prove that this review is legitimate, I have included a photo of the contract I made with Mr…read moreManer, to show I was once a real client of his. (please see attached Yelp photo) I am fortunate in that the incident which led me to Mr Maner was not that serious (a minor misdemeanor charge). After receiving some counseling from family members, I decided to hire a lawyer to represent me before a possible arraignment. Because Mr Maner had recently stopped being a career prosecutor, I had hoped that he would be able to speak with his former employer about my mistaken charge. I did not know and he did not inform me that he quit suddenly from the DA's office and was about to be fired from their employ. He looked at me directly in the face and lied when I asked if he was on good terms with the DA's office. His office was completely disheveled but he seemed on point and understood my situation. I attributed the clutter and disorganization to him starting out on a new career path as a defense attorney. Our contract was for one year. Fortunately, I was never charged but the conduct of Mr Maner during this time period after the first office visit was very distressing. Initially before signing our contract, he returned all phone calls and email promptly but after signing, he vanished. He said that he would be back in contact within about 10 days. Sadly, I did not hear from him until 44 days had passed by, and that, only after three emails and four phone calls went unanswered. To pay someone for a service and then not have them respond is obviously disheartening. I was also curious as to any research that Mr Maner might have done on my case and asked to see my file after about ten months (our contract was for one year, so this was well within that time frame). After numerous phone calls and emails all went unanswered, I finally dropped by his office personally, and was treated like a homeless hobo who needed to be pushed back onto the street (which to me was fairly amazing since I had been nothing but friendly up to that point). In fact, he could not even be bothered to interrupt his cell phone scrolling to acknowledge my presence at first. His part time secretary had to finally retrieve my file from the rubbish and stacks of files on his floor and when I looked at my file, it was the original three pages that I had given 10 months before. Not a single page had been added by him. In other words, I do not believe Mr Maner ever did anything to help benefit my case. And since the DA's office in Modesto dropped my case, I never even needed to hire Mr Maner in the first place. Mr Maner is a former prosecutor who was about to be fired and then suddenly quit. He worked for about 22 years as an assistant district attorney for Stanislaus County and racked up numerous reprimands and demotions while in office. (He even filed a federal suit against the DA's office and lost.) As such, Mr Maner thinks very much like a prosecutor, id est, .... he believes most of the people coming to hire him for their defense are already guilty. He is very much on the side of the State. Many people who might hire him probably are not aware that he really does not side with them or see their conditions from a more neutral point of view. That makes Mr Maner an eminently bad choice for defense if you are charged with a criminal act. In the end, I cannot recommend Mr Maner. I would not hire him to clean up dog poop in my backyard, much less represent myself or one of my family members if they were accused of a serious criminal charge. At one of the most stressful times in my life, Mr Maner actually made my condition worse by his poor conduct and communication skills rather than helping to alleviate it. The only bonus to this sad incident is that I did later learn from others about some of the better attorneys in the Modesto area including Tai Bogan (middle of the road fees but good defense) and Kirk McAllister (high fees but very good defense). Whatever you do, .... do not hire Mr Maner. Terrible experience with the man, and I would not wish him on my worst enemy.

I hired Mr. Hogan for my family law matter expecting professional guidance, communication, and…read morestrong representation during a very stressful time. Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. After paying a $2,000 fee, I felt that very little work was completed compared to what I expected from an attorney handling an important legal matter. The majority of the work I observed consisted of limited communication with the opposing attorney, one phone call with me, and preparation of draft copies of FL-300 and FL-950 forms. I did not feel that my concerns were properly addressed, my instructions were not followed, and I did not receive the level of attention, communication, or support that I believe a client should receive when paying for legal services. When I attempted to communicate my concerns, I felt that the response was unprofessional and dismissive. Based on my experience, I would encourage anyone considering hiring Mr. Hogan to carefully evaluate whether his communication style, level of involvement, and approach match their expectations. Family law matters are already difficult and stressful, and clients need an attorney who is responsive, respectful, and actively involved in their case. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received that level of service. If I could give a zero-star review, I would. Unfortunately, my overall experience did not meet the expectations I had when hiring an attorney. I believe clients deserve an attorney who provides clear communication, professionalism, and meaningful effort toward their case, and based on my experience, I did not feel that I received the level of service I paid for.
