I retained Mr. Johnson on what should have been a very easy divorce, uncontested divorce, with no…read moredisputes over income or assets. He told me it should run me between $5000 and $10,000 Maximum. After a few months, his paralegal told me I needed to hire another attorney to draw up the DRO for the division of my brokerage account, pension, etc. I had to spend another $3600 to retain an attorney who "wrote the book on DRO's." Had I known Mr. Johnson or his staff weren't capable of drafting a simple DRO, I might not have retained him. The attorney he referred me to would seldom return my phone calls or phone calls to Mr. Johnson's office. Her incompetence cost me another few thousand dollars in attorney fees and drew out a simple divorce to lasting over a year and a half. My total legal fees between Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Elizabeth Van Clief amounted to over $17,000 and months of delays and frustrations. One thing I will sat us Mr. Johnson's office staff and paralegals were outstanding.

Based on good internet reviews, I wanted to hire Samin to help me with my divorce, but she wasn't…read moretaking new clients. So I worked with her colleague, Elizabeth. Elizabeth provided great service and information in a timely, professional manner. At some point, she announced she was leaving the practice, for reasons I don't know. So I was transferred to Samin. Samin and I met over zoom a few times. She was friendly, informative and helpful. Then we decided that mediation wasn't working and I needed to take my husband to divorce trial. So I hired her to represent me instead of on a consultation basis. That's when things started going wrong. Over the next few months, it became harder to get in touch with her. Email responses would take 3-4 business days. Her paralegal was helping me put together forms to file (FL-150) but edits back and forth would take days to come back for my review, wheras I made sure I always returned my part within 1 business day to them. It took 2 1/2 months for her firm to complete the form and file it!!! All the while I was losing out on having the form filed for the purpose of retro spousal support. More than once when they returned the forms for my review there were errors, some glaring, which required more time on my part, more emails back and forth and -yup- more time billed to me. So one day I called the office to express my anger and frustration at the process and asked for a call back so we could talk live instead of email. I never got a call back!! Four business days later I got a stern email. Never was there an explanation or apology for why I couldn't get them to speed up or attend to my case. At one point, Samin told me it was my fault for changing my mind (for 24 hours) and telling her that I thought I might try mediation again instead of court, but then told her never mind and to proceed. Divorce is messy-it is normal to have doubts and 2nd thoughts. Instead of telling me that it's MY fault that the process is taking so long, maybe guide me through the pros and cons of each option and have a little sympathy. Plus, that mixed message only accounted for 2 business days. Not the 2 1/2 months that it took to get that form finished. After feeling ignored, underserved, overwhelmed and uncared for, I finally pulled the trigger and let Samin go. I hired Honorable Legal Services-DeAnn Salcido, who has been phenomenal. Attentive at every step, incredibly informative, educational. She gives me notes, articles with highlights an annotations for me to read. She explains my options clearly. She responds in 1-2 days every time. We've done multiple zoom calls. And her office has a marvelous online system that organizes my files, forms, correspondence and upcoming dates in a way that is clear to both of us. AND she costs LESS than Samin! If I had had DeAnn from the start instead of Elizabeth and Samin, this process would have gone a LOT smoother and faster.

His experience and knowledge of family law is invaluable. He truly is a peacekeeper! One of the things that stood out most was his ability to read the room and adjust his approach as needed. Early on, he kept things low-key and gave both sides space to stay comfortable continuing in the process. His creativity when working on dividing assets and liabilities made an incredibly stressful situation less so. As we got closer to the finish line, he was very proactive in helping us reach an agreement. That kind of judgment, knowing when to hang back and when to step in, is a valuable skill in mediation.
