Because she knows my family's history so well, she understood our specific dynamics and carried that context through every step. She is the perfect mix of no-nonsense and deeply supportive--giving straight answers while acting as a fierce advocate. If you want a lawyer who genuinely cares and gets results, look no further.

My partner and I were looking for a lawyer to help us create a prenuptial agreement (PMA). As a…read moreprofessional athlete, I'm very particular about who represents me in legal matters. After contacting several lawyers and doing some research, I was eventually recommended to Christine Twining. When I spoke with her, Christine emphasized her extensive experience, education, and reputation in family law, highlighting her over 20 years of practice, including PMAs and divorces. In hindsight, I should have been cautious when she asked me to write her a review after our very first consultation. Christine's retainer fees were pretty high, but she justified them by claiming to be highly detail-oriented and experienced in this field. I made it very clear that my partner and I needed our PMA completed before our wedding court date. Christine assured me that she could meet this deadline given that our PMA was straight forward and my partner and I had agreed on everything beforehand. After retaining Christine, she provided a timeline for when tasks would be completed to ensure the PMA was done on time. However, she consistently missed these deadlines, which forced my partner and I to reschedule our wedding, causing significant stress and financial losses as family members from around the world had to cancel and rebook their flights. Throughout the drafting process, my wife's attorney identified numerous basic mistakes, including mixing up our names with those of other clients, and including other clients' clauses in our PMA, which indicated that she had just copy/pasted from another client's prenup. The errors and lack of professionalism were unacceptable, especially from a lawyer charging such high fees. I was extremely disappointed with her lack of communication, honesty, and attention to detail. Despite paying a high retainer fee, I ended up being charged even more in an additional invoice, with no refunds for the poor service received or money lost on our end. While I'm not here to tell others who to choose for their PMA process as everyone's experience is different, I'd personally advise caution if considering Christine Twining. The service provided does not justify the cost, and I believe there are more competent lawyers out there for a better price.

When I first reached out to her office, the staff there were warm, friendly, and extremely helpful. During our consultation call, she answered all of my questions without hesitation or judgement.

We also had a tight timeline as we started the prenup process rather late, but she was able to work with it and we got it done quickly. Nina is also extremely responsive and will respond quickly to any question or concern, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Nina if you need a family lawyer!

I cannot recommend Jessica at JLC Law highly enough. From our first meeting, her attention to…read moredetail was impeccable, and it was clear she had a deep understanding of my case and was knowledgeable. Don't be fooled by her beauty, she is tough, honest, and most importantly she is a fighter! She is a mom and understands this process like no other. You are never alone if she is by your side. She consistently spoke up for me and advocated on my behalf during times when I felt I couldn't. Ultimately, she secured a result that far exceeded my expectations. She is steadfast, caring, and brilliant at what she does. If you need a lawyer who is both comprehensive and a fierce advocate for her clients, look no further. P. S. My ex even mentioned he'd rather see me sleeping with someone else and see her face in court agin!

I recently have to retain her again on a child support issue. The opposing party is known for delay tactics and difficulties for no apparent reason; however, Jessica was familiar and was able to close out this matter successfully. While my fees were high, it was at no fault of hers. My ex spouse entire tactic is to drive up legal fees. With that being said I appreciate Jessica's acknowledgment of his tactics and her discretion on what matters are worth a reply vs not. I believe any other attorney would have capitalized on my unique dynamic and charged me at maximum capacity. I highly recommended Jessica. she came in as a referral and as someone who has now retained her twice I can't say I would recommend any one else!

Ever wish you could just hire a Mossad agent to handle your divorce? Now you can!…read more Almost... Anat Resnik is hands-down the best Family Law attorney we have ever hired... and we have been through several! Boy, are we glad we did not settle! The living embodiment of the phrase, "An iron fist in a velvet glove." Anat quietly kicked-ass and delivered us a stunningly positive outcome. I'm convinced she can do the same for you. UCLA educated with years of experience handling hundreds of these kinds of cases, Anat is professional, honest, dignified, and above all, effective. While you may be able to find a cheaper Attorney out there, you need to remember "why" you are looking for one in the first place. They are a means through which you can best repair the most drastic rift a family can encounter. Complicating matters further is the fact that, as you attempt to achieve this goal, there is a person on the other side of the negotiation that knows you intimately and now may very well hate you. How will your access to your children be affected? How will your shared properties be divided, and ultimately, what will the financial impact be to your bank account? Like plastic surgery, legal counsel is NOT the place to try to save money. Taking this logic a step further, a winning Attorney will, in fact actually pay for themselves by saving you tens of thousands over time relative to the differential settlement outcome you might otherwise receive. Since "brevity is the soul of wit", I'll cut this review off without waxing further and just say she blew us away with our case's resolution. In fact, we feel so strongly about Anat that if you have any interest in hearing about our experiences with her in specific detail, we invite you to call us at 424 242 3788 and we will happily answer any questions you may have. Divorce is almost always a miserable experience for all involved. The best you can do if you find yourself in that situation, is to find the best help possible to get you to the other side of it as productively as possible. Anat Resnik is that person... and may the Lord help you if you ever find yourself on the other side of her table! ;)

I posted a desperate plea for a family attorney in the Los Angeles area on Facebook, and many friends recommended Alexandra and her team.

She was quick to direct me in the best approach, aiding me in how we responded to the Judge and the Child Support legal Department. I felt that my voice was finally heard, and most importantly followed by action. Alexandra went above and beyond what is required of her. Alexandra helped me get a direct answer, what I was most concerned about. I was so impressed that we have and will continue to recommend her to anyone who needs a great attorney. We can never fully express our gratitude for Alexandra's hard work, genuine care, and successful approach to every case.

My experience with Emily Rubenstein was life changing. I am a single mother with three daughters…read moreone of whom has life-threatening medical issues. I had lived separated from my husband for 10 years with very little money when I finally got the courage to start my divorce. I began with a different lawyer who was reputed to be kind of a pit bull but very good and expensive. Unfortunately she (my first lawyer, NOT Emily) was also terrible to me, unorganized, unethical in her billing, wouldn't respond to my ex's settlement offer, and was slapdash in her approach to my case, not telling me I needed to respond to discovery until I only had a week left to do so. I contacted Emily in despair. She took the reins immediately starting with handling the turnover from the old lawyer, handling problems with my ex, and got everything organized and back under control. She kept me informed and calm. She was gentle and compassionate but also realistic and honest with me to properly set my expectations. She listened to and incorporated my thoughts and suggestions where they would work in our favor. Her research and writing were top notch. The mediation brief she wrote was a work of art - so persuasive, incorporating solid research and bolstered by specific and complete evidence. In the end she was able to more than double what I was getting in child support and getting my ex to pay for my medically fragile child's insurance until 26. Also she was extremely judicious, fair and reasonable in her billing. I always felt I had gotten great value for the cost. If you want a smart, effective, compassionate attorney on your side during your divorce, or any other family law matter, I highly recommend that you hire Emily Rubenstein.
