My parents hired John N. Kitta to take a real estate case for over a year. They initially paid over…read more$5K to go against a dwelling company for taking my parents' money without any refund and without a dwelling unit set up. This case is currently not resolved and has been mismanaged unprofessionally several times. In one statement, they mixed up another's client name with our case, which had confidential information. Then in another statement, they asked to give additional funds for missing a court date when they were the ones who told us the scheduled court date had been canceled. Then in the next 3 statements, they made more billing errors, which is very disappointing and frustrating. To be honest, John Kitta has never been in his office every time we visit in person for the past 6 months. It's just Ma Hwa and receptionist Jessie. I feel like he's biased on which case to handle. Plus they're willing to scam our fellow Asian clients who can't understand English well. Imagine the horror that my parents had to frequently drive over 3 miles to their office several times to correct and verify each statement. Then, they keep canceling and pushing our court dates to a different month while asking us for more money to pay for their costly mistakes and they never admit their wrongdoings. A lot of previous associates and receptionists have resigned from this company so therefore, it's just John N. Kitta. This law firm needs to be investigated and audited thoroughly. Additionally, all the clients, including my parents, should get their hard-earned money back for the mistreatment, injustice, and unsolved cases. FYI their website address is so ironic that they suspended their website.

I highly recommend Lawyer Derik Lim and his team…read more My mom had a serious car accident in 2024. A friend of mine referred the Lawyer Derik Lim to me. He helped my friend with her car accident a couple of years ago. My friend told me good things about this law firm. Three days after the accident, I met with the lawyer Derik and his office manager Christine at my mom's hospital. They were very compassionate and professional. They told me things that I need to do, what steps that they were going to approach. What were the potential consequences in different scenarios, which was very helpful for to understand the process and potential results of the case. Whenever there was any progress, the office manager connected with me on the phone. The communication was very smooth and efficient. Although it's complicated situation, Lawyer Derik Lim and his team tried all ways that they could to help us get compensation. I'm very grateful to have worked with Lawyer Derik Lim. Many thanks to Lawyer Derik Lim and his wonderful team!

C. Lee Hewitt is an exceptional attorney. I do not use that term lightly. I engaged Mr. Hewitt…read moreto support me in a Family Law case which was decades old, but which needed to be revisited. He worked diligently to review and understand all my prior records, legal filings and decisions in my case and subsequently developed and executed a powerful and winning legal strategy. He is extremely knowledgeable and has an excellent staff supporting him. Their experience yielded efficiency in communications, filings, court appearances and documentation, that made the entire process clear and expedient. But Mr. Hewitt's greatest strengths are his compassion and his professionalism. He took the time to listen and to explain complex legal matters. He communicated clearly, concisely and deliberately at all levels, whether with his client, opposing counsel or with the judge in the case. I would highly recommend C. Lee Hewitt. He brings a powerful mix of experience, efficiency, intelligence and compassion to bear, in order to secure fair and reasonable solutions to complex legal problems.

I first contacted All for the Family Legal Clinic in July 2021 seeking an attorney referral. I…read moresubmitted the online application, paid for a consultation, and was told I would receive a referral by the end of November 2021. My contact person was their office manager/paralegal, Jennifer Richardson. On December 10, I emailed her asking about the promised referral -- no response. I followed up several more times by email and voicemail, and still no one ever got back to me. I eventually gave up and put the matter on hold. Fast forward to 2025: I decided to try again. After numerous phone calls, someone finally called me back and instructed me to submit a new application, which I did on August 30, 2025. Their website claims they process the application and get back within seven days, yet it has now been almost two months with no response despite multiple voicemails throughout September and October. In one of my messages, I even said, "I'm desperate and need to plan accordingly, so please let me know whether you're able to help." Still nothing. They do not accept walk-ins, do not answer phone calls, and as of today, they don't even have a working voicemail system -- you cannot leave a message anymore. I made one last attempt to reach them before posting this review, and once again, no luck. This clinic's complete lack of communication is unacceptable and unprofessional, especially for a legal aid organization.

They fail to do key things like fill out forms correctly on divorce packets. They didn't send the right documents three times leading to repeated rejections of the case.
