NO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!!! Probably the most awful experience anyone can have when you are going…read morethrough a divorce, do not use them!! Divorce is hard enough without lawyers scamming you for money. Their tiered pricing is a joke, it costs you a lot of money per month for one or two meetings with the lawyers and it takes a whole month for them to draft simple filings, they drag everything out intentionally so you have to pay more money. Their lack of professionalism in my case actually caused me to experience one of the most traumatic things that any parent could experience all because of their lack of professionalism and their greed; they failed to rectify the issue and even lied about it in the hopes that I would doubt myself, they even had the audacity to tell me that I had to upgrade to another pricing package so that I could access the services that could fix it - again, a problem that was caused by them. Any moral individual would do whatever was necessary to correct a problem that they caused, especially as it involved children. They scoffed at me, saying that they shouldn't charge me for them to fix it. To go through a divorce and not have lawyers who are concerned enough to get you through it, as opposed to just lining their pockets with your money, is an absolute travesty. This whole company is a scam, Michael is a snake oil salesman and a scammer, do not spend your money with this firm. As much as they are cheaper than most lawyers, there is a reason for that: they are not professional, have no sense of urgency, and their lack of care can cost you thousands of dollars and a lot more in your case. Working with them was traumatic; no one there has any scruples or any sense of moral or legal duty. If you are going to spend your money on lawyers go to a real law firm, that has real offices and a track record that is easy to see - their website design should have been a clue for me! As someone who cares about the individuals involved in divorces, please DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE. IT IS ALL A SCAM.

A horrid experience. They charged a ridiculous fee to not even complete the work. We paid over…read more$4000 (over 3 months) for a very amicable divorce (no assets, no disagreements, we just wanted it done). It felt like they dragged out the work so they could charge us more money. They then had issues with staffing and dropped us. Went to a different firm (documentpeople.net). We actually got to meet with the lawyers face-to-face. This new firm completed all of the work for less than 1/4 the price we paid Family First. It would have been even less ($300 less), but the new firm had to amend errors Family First made on the paperwork. If we had started with the second firm, it would have cost us $650 total. I can't imagine how much Family First would have charged if we had continued. So essentially, Family First took our money and wasted our time. Avoid this "firm" at all costs.

I would like to share my experience with a lawsuit involving my partnership company. As the manager…read moreresponsible for handling all partnership affairs, I was wrongfully sued by a defaulting partner under false pretenses. I previously worked with two attorneys, and the second had to withdraw from the case for personal reasons. He recommended Attorney Timothy V. Milner as my third counsel, and I am truly grateful for that recommendation. Because my English is not very fluent, Attorney Milner listened to me patiently and took great care to clearly present the key facts and arguments of our case before both the Pasadena Court and the Los Angeles Court. He also kept me fully informed throughout the process by providing regular email updates regarding all court proceedings. Thanks to Attorney Timothy V. Milner's dedication and professionalism, after a three-year legal battle, justice was finally served. The plaintiff's case was dismissed, and we prevailed. If you are facing unfair treatment and are looking for a highly experienced, reliable, and trustworthy attorney, I sincerely recommend Attorney Timothy V. Milner and The Justice Firm. He has extensive legal experience and is absolutely worth hiring. With sincere appreciation, Lucy Guan

UPDATE -- August 2026…read more Unfortunately, since writing my original review, our situation has become even more disappointing and financially and emotionally draining. Nearly three years after retaining this attorney and paying the full fee upfront, we are still dealing with the same fundamental concerns regarding communication, progress, and accountability. My husband has not received the meaningful progress we were led to believe we could expect when we initially retained this attorney. What makes this particularly heartbreaking is that my husband genuinely believed this attorney was going to help him. He held onto hope that his case would finally move forward and that there was a real possibility of coming home sooner. Watching that hope turn into years of waiting, uncertainty, and disappointment has taken a tremendous emotional toll on our family. I want to be very clear: I understand that no attorney can guarantee a particular result or guarantee when someone will be released. That is not what this review is about. My concern is the lack of communication, transparency, and progress we personally experienced after paying thousands of dollars for representation. After making repeated attempts to obtain answers and meaningful updates, we ultimately reached the point where we are now pursuing arbitration to try to recover the fees we paid. And unfortunately, that means I have had to pay an additional $450 arbitration filing fee simply to pursue the process of trying to recover our money. That has been extremely frustrating. We hired an attorney because we believed we were hiring someone to advocate for our family during one of the most important and difficult situations of our lives. Instead, nearly three years later, we are not only still dealing with the underlying situation--we are now having to spend additional money and energy trying to recover the money we already paid. I am updating this review because I genuinely do not want another family to experience what we have experienced. If you are considering hiring this attorney, I strongly encourage you to ask very specific questions before paying anything: What exactly will be done on the case? What has already been done? What is the expected timeline? How frequently will you receive updates? What happens if the representation does not progress as expected? And most importantly, get everything in writing. Our family placed a tremendous amount of trust in this attorney. We paid the full fee upfront because we believed we were finally taking a step toward helping my husband come home. After nearly three years, the fact that we are now pursuing arbitration to try to recover our fees is incredibly disappointing. I am sharing this update so other families can make an informed decision before placing their trust, their money, and their hopes in an attorney.

Waiting for the office to respond. They already got my check from the insurance company, but they…read moreare holding the fund with no communication. Everything is responsive within reasonable time until they get your signature and money from the insurance. Playing games with people time and emotion. Edit review: I've received my check today. The delay was due to the insurance sending out incorrect information. It was roughly about 30% of what is paid by the insurance company. They did keep their promise to try to get as much as possible: meaning after the chiropractor and lawyer's fee. For example, if you're getting a check for 15K from the insurance, minus 7K from the chiropractor, minus 7K from the lawyer's fee. You will be left with 1K. All this information was disclosed at the end of my treatment. If you're lucky, you will receive around 5k. They did help me with my injuries. An additional star is added. So make sure you ask questions before start going to the chiropractor and do your research.

If you are searching for a family law attorney can stay with confidence and without hesitation , my sole recommendation is Ms. Jennifer Ani. Ms. Ani has represented me for the past year and a half in a child support/custody " battle" to say the least. Ms. Ani accomplished what most would deem impossible. I can finally say with an overwhelming amount of joy, my case is closed and the outcome was exactly what Ms Ani and I intended/ hoped for. She accomplished exactly what she said she would all while Insuring my daughter's well-being remain priority throughout the case. I speak from experience when saying it is easy to lose sight of what you are fighting for a midst all the accusations, allegations, and overwhelming emotions that are heard and said during such a trying time. Ms. Ani never once lost focus. She is honest, calm, aggressive when needed, organized and managed to keep me calm and composed throughout my case which in itself is a miracle. Her level of expertise coupled with her passion for family law is abundantly clear to anyone who has the pleasure of speaking with her. This was not a black and white case. On the contrary, it was an extremely complicated case that involved sexual assault allegations, child protective services, possible weapon charges, alleged drug use, kidnapping, money laundering and the llist is endless. Most attorneys would shy away from such a case, but not Ms Ani. She was not intimidated by the work ahead of her, rather she was confident in her ability to get justice and protect my daughter. I was kept up-to-date on every detail including, but not limited to email communication with opposing counsel. There were no surprises, and all of my questions were answered in a timely manner (anyone who has ever had an attorney knows that is not a common occurrence) Going to court can be overwhelming, intimidating and better yet distressing, especially when your child is involved. Ms. Ani made it a priority to ensure I was more than prepared for each hearing leaving no detail untouched. I felt confident having her by my side throughout this difficult time. I am not sure I would've been able to hold it together as I did without her support, knowledge, compassion, and of course, representation. I highly recommend Ms. Ani if you are in need of a family law attorney. I can assure you, she will take the time to listen to your case and be realistic in what you can expect and what you cannot. I appreciate honesty, especially in this sort of situation. I can promise you that is exactly what you will get having Ms. Ani in your corner.

I worked with this firm on a cybersecurity dispute in the past few years. My main advice when…read morechoosing whether to work with Sunset is to not work with the primary IT consultant who consults for this firm. If you have an issue, he will only do the standard investigative techniques that even ChatGPT can tell you to investigate yourself. For instance, I suspected that there was a keylogger on my Mac device. He only looked through my System Settings to investigate. I needed to press him to run some commands and investigate a little more thoroughly. He didn't ask me what timeframe I needed my data; he only collected data that was live. I've since learned now that there was a keylogger stored on my device, and it was actually contained in an application that looks benign but has actually been tampered with by a hacker. Since finding this through another firm, I realized that this PI firm is a joke and isn't afraid to scam you and give you less quality service than what is apparently necessary. The IT consultant is noticeably lazy, consistently canceled on meetings and doesn't actually investigate a matter (he just does what a tech person would do and asks the standard questions). I did not feel like I was in good hands with this firm, but this is everything in a PI firm. Unfortunately, I had to request to get my money back for the last statement of work with them. Do NOT hire these people if you have a cybersecurity or technical concern.
