I was referred to Travis and his team by a coworker after previously working with another attorney…read morewhere things just didn't feel right. From the moment I contacted the office, Olga, the administrative assistant, was so welcoming and kind over the phone that it immediately put me at ease. Divorce is hard enough as it is, and it's incredibly important to feel protected during the process. Travis and his team did exactly that--and more. Their expertise and over 30 years of experience truly made a difference, and I honestly wish I had found them from the very beginning. As a client, it's also important to be realistic about the law and stay organized, which I made sure to do by keeping my "ducks in a row" and being completely honest throughout the process. After everything I had been through, my nervous system had been in survival mode, but working with Travis, Joann, and Jackie helped me feel protected and supported every step of the way. They are truly a great team. They were easy to talk to, listened to all of my concerns, and advocated for me when it mattered most. Whenever I felt worried, they helped calm my fears and guided me through the process with care and professionalism. I will always be grateful for Travis and the entire team's hard work. Thank you for helping me get my baby back. Trust their process--they communicate well and do an outstanding job protecting their clients. I highly recommend them.

I feel deeply wronged by the actions taken by the lawyer in my case. Their decisions not only…read moreaffected me but also had a significant negative impact on my children. Being subjected to unnecessary alcohol testing and attending meetings when I do not have an issue with alcohol was not only unjust but also hurtful. This prolonged the case unnecessarily and caused emotional distress to my kids, affecting them psychologically. I believe these actions were a disservice to the well-being of my family. Travis, the impact you had on my children should be a crime not only should you have turned this case around in a week, you should've helped out innocent little children against their abusive father. I told you the first day I was in your office that he was abusive and you did nothing but make them wait to see their mom. It took six weeks and one day to see my children being that I was a stay at home mom with them being abused by their dad. You should either be in jail or pay back everyone who you have brought enormous amount of pain to their lives.

In my opinion Stuart…read moreFishman and his associates did beautiful work in professional, efficient, I would say aggressive manner with the best meaning of this word. I would definitely recommend this attorney if negotiation and mediation is useless.

I am truly grateful for being referred to Mr. Fishman's offices. I've been involved in a highly…read morelitigious family law case for three years. I've worked with two other law firms and Stuart is the first attourney on my case who cares about me and my family, while being able to run with a strategy that has alleviated most of the anxiety I have with family law. He's the best I've seen in the Bay Area. When you're backed into a corner and need a champion, Stuart and his team have your back. I've also worked closely with his associate Alyssa who holds strong understanding of the law and is exceptional at her craft. If you're able to retain Stuart and his team you'll be lucky to have them. They've brought light to the darkest moments of my life.

I don't even know where to begin because words can't fully capture how grateful I am for Lou Limon…read moreand his team. This was my first time hiring a lawyer, and I wish I had known about Lou the first time I had gone to court. I was in court for a custody case involving my kids--a situation that like any mother would feel, brought me overwhelming anxiety and fear. From the very beginning, Lou and his team were there for me, guiding me through every step with unwavering support, kindness, and expertise. Every question I had was answered almost immediately. Every document was carefully prepared and filed on time. Lou explained parts of the court process that I would have never understood without him. He didn't just represent me--he gave me the knowledge about the court system and the confidence I desperately needed. In between hearings, Lou and his associate Devin checked in regularly, offering thoughtful advice that gave me hope and a clear direction. Lou's calm, steady presence during court helped me stay grounded in moments when I needed it. Thanks to Lou's determination and relentless dedication, I got the outcome I had prayed for. He fought for me and my kids like it was personal, and I'll never forget what he did for my family. If you're looking for an attorney who truly cares, who will fight for you with everything he has, and who treats you like a person--not just a case--Lou is the guy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lou the and team. I will forever be grateful.

This review is long overdue. I had a different lawyer for the first part of my court proceedings,…read morebut I had hired Lou as my attorney back in 2019 after reading some of the positive reviews. For context, have 2 children with my ex, and I make significantly more than him. He took me to court in attempt to have an establish custody agreement. I had spent countless hours with Lou and his team, but I always felt unprepared going into court. Lou never seemed to know what he was doing, and he would never give me an update on my case. There were times he would call me while I was at work, and I would be unable to answer. He would leave a minute long message that would in turn cost me about $100-$150. I did not dispute those charges, but what really got to me was when I was charged for asking a question about a billings charge through email. He got upset and told me that answering a quick email about billings is taking time away from his other cases so he needed to charge me $140 for that! I was absolutely appalled. He was rude with no sympathy after I was already financially and emotionally drained. I ended up coming to an agreement with my ex outside of our lawyers' help because I just wanted everything to be over with so our kids could have better stability. At the time, Lou implied that I was going to lose so I agreed to most of the terms their father wanted, which I deeply regret today. We have 50/50 joint legal and physical custody, but I pay him $1000/month and pay for all extra curricular and health care. I even agreed to their father's school district and all pickups/drop offs at his grandfather's house. Those stipulations have made my life and my children's lives so difficult. Lou has scarred me to the point I am afraid to go back to court to revise our agreement. Please feel free to reach out if you have more questions. Please save your money and do not go with Lou!

Initially seemed good and the initial consultations were friendly…read more Wasted far too much time just trying to have personal conversations rather than focusing on the case, I didn't need therapy from an attorney at $500/hour. Once the case looked like it was resolving and we were coming to an amicable conclusion did things that increased conflict, including making things up (lying) in the court which immediately increased conflict with my ex. In the end the case took far longer than it needed to because of these attorneys and cost far more for everyone. They also sent far too many emails and insisted on too many calls which meant that my bill ended up being twice what my ex spent and I think his attorney got a better outcome.

Excellent Lawyer - Highly Recommend David Luca…read more David is an outstanding lawyer who helped me navigate my divorce, which involved custody evaluations and numerous court appearances with a very difficult ex-husband. Even now, I continue to reach out to him for child custody-related questions, as my ex-husband frequently creates issues. David makes the most stressful divorce very simple. He is always quick and efficient, getting things done without delay. He is straightforward, honest, and always provides clear communication throughout the process. No matter how challenging the situation, David is there to support you and always brings a thoughtful solution, whether it's through negotiation or legal arguments. He's truly the best, and I would personally recommend Mr. Luca to anyone going through similar challenges.

Hector Moreno's firm - referred by a church member. Amazing and caring people. A great firm…read more Worked mostly with Hali Ford. She's super driven and reliable. She connected with me and I could trust her because she cares. She is part of a winning team, and I am glad I found them. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an honest, caring, and knowledge attorney.

As a person who has never had to deal with law before, I found the firm and especially J. Hector…read moreMoreno a true blessing. I had filed my case with another attorney who made my case weak. Hector was thorough from the very beginning - understanding the case, poking holes, being honest about possibilities and overall being an amazingly compassionate person. His transparency and attention to detail are absolutely commendable when combined with his skill at getting to the outcomes. I stood to lose a lot from every perspective. This firm has been a true blessing in protecting my daughter and I while going through extremely ugly proceedings. Not just Hector, the other attorneys Stephanie and Joseph were amazing to work with. Always balanced, always focused, always looking out for you. The whole staff at the firm, including Cathy, Karina and Sandy make the grimmest of your situations fill with warmth and light. For anyone going through a family law situation, this is the best firm in Santa Clara (I have dealt with several others who are nothing but a disappointment). Hector and everyone I worked with at this firm is honest, empathetic and highly skilled at their work. The best family law firm!

This is kind of an emotional review, but I do need to do this review because of this wonderful…read moreyoung attorney; Jess Smith at the law office of Hoover-Krepelka, LLP. I had a 45 year marriage that was coming to an end. I was a mess. My first attorney was so terrible that she was late 20 minutes to a court hearing and was completely unprepared to present me. She did not apologize to the judge or me for the delay. Needless to say, I let her go. My next attorney I hired; the office had a staff exodus en-mass. My 3rd attorney issue was straightened out and hired Jess Smith at H & K. I was hesitant because she was such a young attorney; the same age as my daughter. This young woman saved me in so many ways. I will never be able to thank her enough for her emotional support and listening to some of my requests. I'm sure they were not normal but what is in this situation. She was on top of every document, request, response which were vast in numbers. Because California is a no fault state for divorces I feel it can be very lopsided if one has not pursued a traditional career. I had taken care of financials, home and child raising. As a woman who gave up her career as a graphic artist. I raised our daughter to become a wonderful doctor. I wore about 50 other hats to help my husband, daughter, household to succeed. Unfortunately they don't issue college degrees or adjust pay for this service. Jess Smith helped me navigate the legal labyrinth with some of the best representation that a woman in my situation could have. I really do think she performed miracles. She provided encouragement & the strength to fight for everything that I am entitled to, and perhaps more since I was 65 years old and had been with this man since I was 21 years old. Conveniently he was laid off so he did not have to provide spousal support. Jess as a young attorney; I think had a lot to do with what she helped me to achieve since she was so fresh and had set no boundaries yet. I think this career choice can be a very difficult and I hope this young attorney realizes just how much she'll helps people like me. Jess Smith went toe to toe with the opposing seasoned attorney and actually showed much more skill at times. There were many times where she had to remind the opposing attorney about deadlines and responses times. I will be forever grateful to this young lady who is so brilliantly smart and helped me by representing my best interest and got me so much more than I would have ever hoped for. Keep in mind that I thought cat food was going to be on the menu in my retirement & I do not own a cat. Not only is she a fine & talented attorney, but also a terrific human being that cares about her clients. I hope I come even close to describing how much this attorney helped me. I will always remember her and be forever grateful & and wish her the very best.

Very rinky-dink and not very professional. They other attorneys seemed competent enough, but what he mapped out and the vision he had was never executed. He was no where near to be heard from to discuss. When asked where he was, I was told I was stuck with the second tier attorney. They all seemed competent enough, and I may not be the easiest client, but they get a major fail in how they handled the case.
