We hired Robert to represent us in an off-market sale of a house in Santa Rosa. We had lived there…read moreas renters for some time and had already agreed on a price with the owner. We brought Robert on as our lawyer to guide us through the entire sale and escrow process. Robert answered all of our questions, coordinated with the other attorney and the title company, and made sure we paid attention to important details, such as the fire readiness survey. The escrow closed this week, and we're extremely happy with the guidance and oversight he provided throughout the process.

One of the worst experiences I have ever had. Fisher is an Ambulance Chaser and serves only…read morehimself. Once you sign the paperwork retaining him as your attorney, he changes. My lifelong friend passed away unexpectedly at age 60. I live in Florida. Fisher called me two days later with the news. He told me I was named Successor Trustee of her estate and that I should accept the position and hire him as attorney. Afterwards I spoke with him once on the phone. A couple of weeks later I called his office several times inside of a week. He has never returned my call. All correspondence was through email. Approximately two months later I resigned as Successor Trustee due to the stress it caused me. He had already accumulated legal fees in the 10's of thousands of dollars. In the meantime, my deceased friend has a sister who is in assisted living and cannot care for herself. I was also named as administrator of her special needs fund. I have been helping her out of my own pocket. Fisher has been unhelpful in making funds available to her. I definitely feel betrayed by him. I tend to make excuses for people. Not knowing what makes people do the things they do. Maybe he is too old. If not already 80 years old he was 79 as in January 2026. Doesn't matter he should still behave honorably and professionally. Age affects us differently. Although it may make us slower. I don't believe it changes our character or moral compass. Beware, don't be fooled by respecting an elderly person. Hans McKinney

I was referred to Laura and thank goodness I was. The very first time I met with her we…read moreaccomplished more in 1 hour than I had in months with another attorney. Laura is extremely knowledgeable about family law and knows how to get things done in the courts. She multi tasks, she works fast and she doesn't waste time. She keeps things moving so you will get results. Her billing is extremely fair, especially compared to other attorneys I've dealt with. Laura is professional, funny, easy to talk to, honest and so nice. Now my narcissistic rageaholic ex husband wouldn't agree with all that; he actually said he was scared of her! PERFECT. Some words of advice... listen to Laura when she tells you the best way to work with her. Like not calling or emailing all the time to ask questions; make a list and call once. When she asks you for something, get it to her right away. If you haven't heard from her it's bcuz nothing has happened, the courts can be slow. Help yourself (and your bank account) and work WITH Laura as much as you can to get your case resolved, you will learn a lot and you will be glad you did. Legal issues can be scary and daunting and I hope I never have to deal with the courts again. But if I do, I know that with Laura on my side any issue will be resolved as quickly and favorably as is legally possible. In my honest opinion Laura is truly the best!

Unfortunately my experience was disappointing. Laura Dunst did not approve a filing that was time…read moresensitive, citing an office emergency, and my case was transferred to associate attorney Destinee Tartuffe. Destinee was unprepared for our meeting and had not reviewed the paperwork submitted three weeks earlier. She had promised to draft a letter that needed to be sent to the opposing party, but again the draft that was not very well written was sent three weeks later. When I called-to summarize provided feedback, she became dismissive berated me and was extremely unprofessional, stating that she was very busy and she preferred I did not tell her why I had called her. She appeared inexperienced, lacked confidence, and struggled with understanding CORE business and property issues, including goodwill valuation. I ultimately terminated my services with this firm, I figured if one call from a client left her FLUSTERED and defensive, I could not trust her to handle my case which is complex or face an experienced opposing counsel in court.

I've worked with 100s of lawyers in my past and fear to say that I must know at least as many, but…read morePatrick Ciocca is truly different from the rest. "Pat" helped me out with a bunch of cases by appearing in court and often times working out phenomenal deals with the District Attorney, however, what makes him special as a lawyer is his creative, "outside the box" problem solving skills. What's more, many people don't think about the possibility that their case may not be "solved" and regrettably have to go to a trial so if that happens, they're stuck with a lawyer who may not be very effective in the courtroom. There's no such concern with Pat as his ability to effectively present and argue a legal case is of superior quality. I had a great experience working with Pat and would unquestionably recommend him as an attorney.
