He wrote I'm a stripper or lawyer and it's funny coming from someone who is a DJ BUT OK. To take my kid away because I'm unfit.. and then doesn't show up to court claiming a family emergency and the client knew and just like him trying to get billable hours. I said what I said He isn't my lawyer but he is unprofessional because who tries to get a child taken on a false pretense and then try to claim I'm a bartender. WHERE WHERE I'm not illegal I worked as a federal employee and he knew that and his client works for his father's jewelry store... Anyways I saw he defends a baby killer so that's probably enough ew. I understand why my ex husband hired him. He doesn't like to read so hired someone equally as lazy. All statements are of my own opinion^^

I was involved in a CFS case and went through several attorneys before finding the right fit…read more Unfortunately, my earlier experiences left me dissatisfied with the level of communication and overall effort. That changed when I found the Haynes Law Firm. Crista and her team were consistently professional, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process. Communication was excellent they always took the time to answer my questions and and kept me informed every step of the way. This was a long and challenging experience for me, but Crista, and especially her assistant Sandi, made a significant difference. They kept me focused, reassured, and motivated to see the case through to the end. Thanks to their dedication and guidance, I was able to successfully close out my case. I truly appreciate their hard work and would highly recommend Crista and her team to anyone in need of reliable and committed legal representation.

Beginning my review, I wish I had taken the time to research who Ms. Crista Haynes is as an…read moreattorney by reading her views which among them are many dissatisfied clients. If you value the dollar, Do Not hire this attorney. I seldom write reviews, but I feel it's my moral duty to inform others before they experience the same Debacle. I'm also writing this review under the protection of my First Amendment rights, "Freedom of Speech". I've read other reviews for other attorneys who have gone to the extreme of taking legal action against their clients for thier yelp reviews. We came to her for a DVRO that had been filed with no actual proof to enforce it. During our initial consultation I should have recognized the "Red Flags", as she was very clear to let us know that she was in charge! Her first time in court was remote and asked for a continuance, even after we were informed by her office that she was driving and unable to text but that she would be here. She stated that the petitioner had the "Burden of Proof" and that we didn't need to send her any proof we had on our part. The next hearing we were notified late afternoon the day before court that she was sending an "appearance attorney", and expecting us to know what this meant. This other attorney doesn't even work for her law firm. She's an independant attorney currently unemployed. She came to court with just her cell phone. She was not prepared. When the judge asked the petitioner if she had received evidence from the respondent's attorney she said No. If the appearance attorney was prepared she would have told the judge that the petitioner did receieve our declaration and the reason we know this is because the assistant to Crista Haynes told me the petitioner called their office asking for a continuance. When writing to Crista Haynes, upset that she wasn't there to represent us, she had the nerve to tell me she had to pay for this attorney out of her pocket and that we were lucky she didn't charge us. Because she wasn't well prepared, because there was a conflict of personalities, because she didn't want to hear the truth, that she pushed our case to the back burner, she went into court and did not defend our case. She was very unprofessional. She should have told us up front that we should probably retain an attorney that's going to defend us. As soon as Trial ended and the Judge found for the Plaintiff, she goes back to her office and sends us a SOA "Substitution of Attorney" and they have sent us 3 attempts to get us to sign this document so they can close out our case. Instead of signing this document, I sent an email stating how unhappy we were over her unprofessionalism and her lack of effort to win the case. In her mind, it's the respondent's fault. Evidence provided by the petitioner was from June 2023 and prior to a Restraining order! We're in court in August 2025 and no evidence after June 2023 to support the plaintiff's claim. Way to go Crista. I hope my review has done it's job by causing you haste in your decision making process when hiring an attorney. All of these 5 star posts are a little suspect to me of their validity. Read the negative posts and that's closer to reality. They can't all be exaggerating, can they?

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.

What a disaster! I had hired Mr. Pancer to represent me in a family law contempt case. It involved…read morea large amount of money owed for unpaid child support and to compensate me for taking all the money from our savings account and depositing the funds into his personal checking account . It was very important that it was handled correctly as this was the first time in ten years that my former husband had actually been personally served and appeared in court. I need the money for living expenses .The case should not have been lost as all of the elements were met. It was a valid order, he was aware of the order and he willfully disobeyed the order despite his ability to pay. Because of Mr Pancer's incompetence the case was dismissed when he failed to list and number all the counts of contempt and when they occurred.I'm not certain if this was intentional as it was a simple task and I had provided him with every missed payment and every document to support these counts of contempt . Also, I overheard the conversation between him and the opposing counsel as they were speaking in the hallway while I was sitting on a bench . What I heard astounded me...."WE have to get rid of this contempt charge. ". Which they did . Which just about ruined my life .
