Annette was always informative and took the time to educate me about every step of the process so I could truly understand what was happening in an often confusing and invalidating legal system. I honestly can't imagine having navigated everything I went through without her support. She's knowledgeable, compassionate, and incredibly dedicated to her clients. The fact that she has offices in both Los Angeles and San Diego was also a huge benefit for me since I live between counties. I highly, highly recommend her and her team to anyone who needs a strong, supportive attorney who truly cares.

My case was messy due to previous incompetent attorney and the Harris's decide to take my case. Laurel and Cindy Harris are mother and daughter. They are a dynamic duo! Tough as nails and extremely competent. Laurel was able to clean up the mess from my former attorney and move things along. She is a strong litigator and will fight like hell. She is very detail-oriented, strategic and a fighter (I can't stress this enough!!) and we prevailed! If I could give 10 stars, I would!

Lauren was…read moreprofessional, sharp, knowledgeable and definitely made me feel at ease knowing that my case was being worked on efficiently and with clear communication. She empathized and knew how sensitive the situation was for me and worked diligently to ensure we were ready for the hearing. When she spoke for me at my hearing, she presented my case in a way I could not have done on my own with all I had emotionally invested. She was thoughtful in her choice of words and her demeanor in court and was very well prepared. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and my representatives at Fair Cadora, because when it comes to fighting for what you love most in this world, you really can't put a price on it.

Instead of meeting with a lawyer, I received a call from a receptionist who, with no legal background, asked for more information about my case. I was told that in order to speak with an attorney and discuss the laws pertaining to my situation, I would first have to pay for their time. I can't recommend this firm. It felt unfair that I was expected to pay for a consultation just to understand the legal process of a divorce. I was never able to get clear information about how they would handle my case without paying them upfront.

Unfortunately, my opinion of this law firm has changed, and I can no longer recommend their…read moreservices. Michaela and her team were attentive and proactive at the beginning of my case, but after I paid the second retainer, I noticed a clear decline in communication and effort. Michaela frequently solicits business from vulnerable women in a social media group that I am in, and I regret that I fell victim to this practice. Over time, it became evident that my case was being neglected, which ultimately led me to hire a new attorney to correct and complete the work that should have been handled by her team. After receiving my second retainer, they provided little to no attention to my case, were delayed in filing key paperwork, and my new lawyer even noted concern, stating she could see why I chose to terminate Michaela's services. Despite their lack of follow-through, the firm only refunded about 10% of my payment.

Nobody ever wants to find themselves looking for a family law attorney. However, if you're in the…read moreposition where you need one, I could not recommend Michaela enough. This woman knows the law forwards and backwards. Michaela could name case laws off the top of her head. She could name family law codes on the spot without hesitation. She would do this actively, in court, and off the cuff. The confidence and powerful presence she had was palpable. She knew EVERYONE down to the bailiffs. I was in awe every single time we left the courthouse. I was fortunate enough to have Michaela help me navigate through one of the darkest seasons of my life. She was determined to keep myself and my children safe. That was her top priority. She refused to let me accept flimsy offers which would not protect my children and me long term. Michaela doesn't only think about what's best now, she thinks about the best course of action to maintain continuity 10 years from now. Michaela ensures, as best as humanly possible, I will not need to be a repeat client. Simply speaking, to Michaela, that means she did her job properly and up to her own ridiculously high standards. She would not waver until she secured a stable future for us. You won't find that kind of integrity in most law offices. She is extremely direct, and she will be the first to admit her delivery can be intense. But you have to remember, with 36 years experience under her belt, she's a no nonsense, cut to the chase, and not entertaining what she knows is futile just for billable hours, type-of-attorney. In the end, I won HUGE on EVERY issue brought before the court. Michaela kept my expectations grounded. She under promised and then immediately proceeded to over deliver. The court order was beyond my wildest dreams and far surpasses what is the "norm" for SD County. This was after it being my ex whom filed first, which can often give the petitioner (my ex) an edge. Michaela said, "hold my legal pad" and came in like a wrecking ball. Over the 18 months we were in court, my ex was also ordered to pay about 95% of my attorneys fees. She is the ambassador of FAFO. Michaela dog walked my ex's attorney (from a well known firm) so bad that he ended up hiring a new firm towards the end. Once the new firm was involved, Michaela was able to mediate a very favorable settlement for me. I truly hope you never need Michaela. But if you do, she should be the only person you consider. She will always put you and your children's safety first above everything. That kind of peace is priceless, especially when she gets your ex to fund it.

Working with this law team was equally as bad as dealing with my Ex. they take your money, Elyse will never speak up or talk back to your emails. My family spent over $30,000 in three months, and I got nowhere. The only advancement I had with the judge was once I fired Butler law and went in on my own. I feel Robbed by this "business". Think, "scummy, crime, steal your money lawyers" This is Them! I unfortunately found them. The documents and emails from Sara Doroaorth could have easily been quick written by Chat GPTin seconds, which were substituted for simple call-backs, just to charge more and more money. Fine....if you're winning. But I got my ass handed to me over and over in court with a "lawyer helping women" PUH-lease. My experience was anything but that in the end. The quality was just bad from this law firm. Absolutely no wins in seemingly an easy case, and lost custody of my daughter for 2 years after spending thousands of dollars to have them help me. Judge Leah Hausch did not like this law team, it was obvious. This law firm will hurt you more, in a sensitive situation, and they won't respond. And their responses and "defense" are just Bad. Judge clearly hated them, and gave my lawyer really no time at all. This is one of those instances where if I could give a Zero or negative stars, I would. And to be honest, the person that really upset me the most is Elise Butler, because when I reached out to her about my case, and my lawyer, as the owner of the law firm, I never got a response from her. I honestly don't even know if she exists. She never spoke back, never wrote me back. I think they were embarrassed by how bad they got their ass handed to them in court with my case, that should've been so easy.
