She looks at her clients as a piggy bank to exploit and does not truly care about helping anyone unless she can overbill them for work she didn't even do.

Wow...I've had a single consultation with Allysyn Overton concerning my nasty divorce, and I'm…read morealready feeling hopeful when I felt only despair with the process. My very successful wife has hired an attorney that is dragging my name through the mud, and being disabled and on a tiny fixed income, I couldn't afford to retain an attorney to help me. Allysyn jumped right in with advice on how to move forward on offense, rather than trying to un-explode a bomb that already went off! The care and compassion for me in my situation was a very welcomed feeling of relief. Allysyn didn't judge me based on the accusations listed in the filings, she talked me through the whole process and left me feeling like this is going to all be ok. Now that she's got the ball rolling I'm not scared. I will update this review as we get done with this nightmare divorce. Smile, it'll be ok, just get Allysyn to fight for you! Thank you, Allysyn!!

She's also excellent on the spot, quick to adapt and make strong decisions in court. She is the most empathetic lawyer I've ever met - and is so safe to reveal anything to. Another outstanding trait is her integrity -- when she had a medical procedure, she made sure my child was protected by referring me to the best lawyer to stand in for her. Michelle is both ethical and effective, and she turned my case around 100%.

The case was very complicated and because of that case i was facing deportation. After my consultation with her, i retrained her right away (i spoke with 3 other lawyers and they all told me there not much they can do for me) i was finally relieved. she was able to get my case dismissed. The DA was after me but Ginny didn,t give up and fought for me and eventually after 9 months of going back and forth the case was dismissed. Recently she represented me on my divorce case. She was amazing even on that case. She didn't waste my time and got to the point. Divorce case are devastating, stressful and costly but ginny made sure i was wasting my time and money. She got straight to the point. She fought for me and my rights to have my kids with me after losing custody of my kids with another attorney who misrepresented me and got shut down by another attorney(that attorney was just working for a pay check not for me). Because of Ginny i now have 52% custody of my kids and if i knew ahead of time she was doing divorce cases as well i would have hired her from the beginning. Her charges are better than most lawyers and she doesn't waste time and lets you know the key point about your case and what you have to do to. I must say GINNY WALIA IS A GREAT LAWYER that is very knowledgeable, determined, furious, professional and most importantly straight to the point. she represents her client like they should be represented. I have used her service 3 times (criminal, immigration and divorce) in my life and have always been very satisfied with her service/representation and definitely use her again. i would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a good attorneys for their immigration, criminal or family law matters.

I thought very hard about writing this review, but I do feel other people ought to be warned. I am…read morea trans woman, and I wanted to hire a lawyer to do my name / gender change forms. I googled and found that Levine Family Law advertises this service. They charged, as I recollect, $3500. The forms went in fine, but then I waited for months for the court order to be entered. At first they said six weeks, but the timeline kept slipping. I started having calls with Levine asking what was happening--they said the SF court was backed up and that it would take time. But it became clear that they did not have a direct line to the courthouse and had a very difficult time getting hold of human beings over there: they were essentially blind. I asked for a call with my lawyer, Stan, but was informed he had left the practice (nobody had told me). I had a call with the office manager Katie, and she basically told me I'd just have to wait. It was very nice and all, but she said I just needed to wait. I live about 20 min drive from the courthouse, so after that call I got so frustrated I got in my car, and I went to the courthouse. There was no line at the records office. They pulled my application, and the clerk said he'd put it on the top of the stack on Monday. By Tuesday, my name/change order was granted, and I had my certified copies. What makes me angry is that I was repeatedly told that the courthouse was busy and, essentially, incompetent, but actually every interaction I've had with them, whether for this or for other records requests, has been prompt and efficient. There is almost never a line; they are very helpful in answering questions. It has become clear to me that Levine Family Law merely scapegoats the courthouse, and that the true issue is their inability to get anyone there on the phone. In the USA, we don't hire lawyers merely to fill out forms--we hire them to shepherd us through the legal process. Levine family law certainly would never be as cavalier about the fate of a child custody or divorce decree--it is only their trans clients that they leave to fend for themselves, twisting in the wind for months. It is unconscionable to charge people $3500 and then be unwilling to take twenty minutes to, say, show up at the courthouse and make sure the decree actually gets entered. If you're not willing to do what it takes to get the decree granted, please don't offer it as a service. As it is, I have no doubt that if I'd filled out the forms myself and gone to the courthouse on my own, I'd have gotten everything done much quicker and more cheaply. I want to reiterate that the forms they filed were apparently fine, but they had absolutely no orientation to actually following up with the court. No doubt they will respond to say that they did their job when they filed the forms. But I was advised by Stan specifically that he was going to be in my corner, following up on these forms. When a firm charges for this service, they are charging for peace of mind--the idea that they will handle everything. If all you want is someone to file forms, maybe this law office is fine, but if you want someone who will make sure the decree actually gets granted, you shouldn't go with them.

She stepped in…read morelate in the day, quickly understood the complexity of the situation, and immediately got to work. Despite the time pressure, she provided me with a clear, strategic courtroom script that helped me stay focused and preserve critical issues on the record. As someone who has been navigating this process pro se, going up against an extremely litigious opposing party and what feels like a very father-leaning courtroom dynamic, Norah has been the edge I needed. She is sharp, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable -- but what sets her apart is that she combines that precision with empathy. She doesn't minimize your situation or default to "well, this is what you signed up for." She meets the facts head-on and builds a plan. Norah is astute, composed, and tactically thoughtful. She understands both the legal framework and the human dynamics of family court. If you need someone who can move quickly, think clearly under pressure, and equip you with strategy rather than platitudes, she is that lawyer.
