She, less than 2 days prior stepped in, and stepped up! Her communication was WAY more than one could expect from any attorney. After getting our case postponed, she continued to be always accessible. We had court today, and prevailed with Ms. Powers. This woman not only looked out for children's best interests, but I feel as though I have gained a true friend in her as well. I don't think you will get that from many other attorneys. Also, she charged a reasonable flat fee. She is not a money-hungry attorney. She is reasonable and fair. My experience is TRUE, it is fact. Ms. Powers cares and fights. We have much Gratitude.

I do not typically leave negative reviews, but my experience with the Law Offices of Athina Powers…read morein Indian Wells was extremely disappointing. Communication was consistently poor. Phone calls were not returned time and time again, despite multiple messages being left. I frequently had to follow up myself just to get basic updates on my case. There was little to no proactive communication, which made an already stressful situation even more frustrating. On more than one occasion, appointments were scheduled for me to come into the office, only for me to arrive and find the door locked. No notice, no call, no explanation. That level of disorganization and lack of consideration is unacceptable--especially in family law. Going through a divorce is one of the most emotional and difficult experiences a person can face. You rely on your attorney not only for legal guidance but also for professionalism, responsiveness, and support. Unfortunately, my experience was the opposite. Instead of easing the burden, the lack of communication and follow-through added unnecessary stress. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this law firm to anyone going through a divorce. I hope this feedback encourages improvements in client communication, responsiveness, and overall professionalism for future clients.

Tecla Lunak was able to hear my side of the story, and advise me appropriately when it made sense to push for something, and when it didn't make sense.

Although this law office is costly, I felt like they were fair and efficient in their billing practices.

I owned 2 timeshares in California. One at Gaslamp Suites in San Diego, VRI & Palm Springs Marquis…read moreVillas, Diamond Resorts. I really needed to get rid of them, not only were they a financial burden but a bone of contention in my marriage. In 2018, I was given Mitchell Sussman's name and told he had a Palm Springs office. He now has many other locations. I made an appointment with Jeff Murphy to go over the information on both my timeshare and see what could be done. Jeff was very clear on how the process worked and the timeframe it would take, 'about a year'. I was charged a flat rate for each timeshare which was a lot less than the maintenance fee's for one. I payed the fee, signed some papers to allow him to take it from there. He instructed me to stop paying anything to the timeshare companies and to let him know if I received any calls or mail from them. I did and forward his info to them so he could take care of it. I called to check on things after 4 months and again at 10 months. Jeff was happy to give me an update on where the process was each time. He encouraged me to hold tight we were almost there. It did take a year and two months and it was done, completely finished. I was freed of both timeshares as anticipated and what a relief for me! I got no more calls or notices from either timeshare and a HUGE weight was lifted off my shoulders! I have referred Jeff Murphy at Mitchell Sussman's Palm Springs office many times over the years. All the referrals have come back to me with huge thanks. I can wholeheartedly refer anyone with nagging timeshare fees and the need to exit to call any of Mitchell Sussman's offices.

I came into this office in Aug of 2020 at the recommendation of a friend…read more It was a straightforward divorce which just needed the papers filed for me. For this service I paid $850, which I had to scrape together to afford. Again, just papers to be filed. All the information necessary for all the paperwork needed was given that first day. The initial paperwork was filed. It was months later before the other party was even contacted. The other party signed papers and returned them to this office...then nothing. When called/emailed, I was told I needed to give them more information, the exact information I had given on that first day. Every call and email after that I was asked to give the same information I'd given on that first day. No other steps have been taken since 2020. Zero. I have emailed, I have called, I have visited the office in person...nothing but promises. My last physical visit was on May 27, 2020, right before the Memorial day holiday. I came into the office and I sat right across from Michael who told me that he would drop the next step's paperwork to the drop box at the Indio courthouse the following Monday (which turned out to be Memorial day,) so even though the drop box is available anytime, I gave him the benefit of time and figured he would drop it off on that Tuesday. During this face-to-face meeting in Michael's office, Michael told me that it takes a week for the court to process for a court date and that once I received the court date I would be coming into the office to see him for the next step. Nothing happened. No papers were dropped off at the courthouse. I waited extra time just in case. By June 13th I heard nothing and called Michael to see what the status of my paperwork was and he told me that he was busy and would call me the following morning. No call the next morning or any time after that. It is now July 1, 2022. I called the office to ask for an update. I talked to the front desk receptionist who told me that Michael wasn't in, that he was gone on medical leave and he might be back in the office next week or maybe the week after. I asked her who was Michael's supervisor and she told me he works for himself and has no supervisor. I asked if Weider was in charge of the office and she said yes...yet nothing can be done. Nobody in this office cares about you or your case. I see others have had near identical issues and I'm willing to bet that there are far more people who have gone through this or are going through this who haven't come forward. Why can this business get away with taking people's money and doing nothing? Stringing people along as if something's going to happen then, again, do nothing. If the people who work in this office are not to be held accountable and there are zero consequences for taking people's money and not delivering the services promised then how are they still in business and allowed to be involved with people's legal issues? This office had made a very simple paperwork situation into a two year panic where the other person involved has now vanished and can't be found. If this office had delivered the services as promised then this wouldn't have ever been an issue and I'd be here singing their praises. I literally, just needed all the papers filed by knowledgeable people, they told me they were the right people for this service. If you value your time, your money, your sanity, then do not use this business for any of your needs.
