I felt very comfortable to carry me like if I was family communication was always there very high-quality in the knowledge. They have a very high standards for very high value in the work that they did and I was very pleased with the outcome. I would recommend them to anybody. They did a very good job and took care of everything.

Then while we were at the court hearing the judge informed me that my paperwork was not sent in on the time she ordered, so she didn't even hear any of my side. After that while trying to set up child support, the child support office informed me to have my lawyer just inform them over the phone that they allow a limited scope, and when I told the receptionist what the child support office stated, she said that wasn't correct and that they needed another paperwork sent into them (substitution of counsel) which would take my lawyer off the case when I still had 1200 left in my retainer fee. which I was scared if I signed her off then I'd have to resign her on and create a whole new retainer and I already only had a credit card that I maxed out for the retainer, so I didn't sign off then. When I had asked for legal advice on what the court order had stated she also made things worse by giving me in correct advice and made the judge mad at me for not doing the correct thing. I'm a single parent who can barely afford to take care of myself and my child and I got into more debt and stress by hiring this firm and it was the worst thing to do.

    A Truly Honest and Dedicated Attorney…read more I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Shinton and the way he handled my case. From the very beginning, what stood out to me most was his honesty. He never told me what I wanted to hear just to make me feel better or give me false hope. Instead, he was completely straightforward and realistic with me about my situation and explained that winning my case was going to be an uphill battle. Although hearing that wasn't easy, I truly appreciated his honesty because I knew I was getting genuine legal advice rather than empty promises. What impressed me even more was how hard he worked on my behalf. Mr. Shinton went above and beyond what I initially asked of him and was able to help me navigate my case in ways I honestly didn't expect. He fought for me, kept me informed, and approached my situation with genuine care and dedication. At a time when I was dealing with a very stressful and difficult legal situation, having an attorney who was honest, realistic, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile made all the difference. I am incredibly grateful for the work Mr. Shinton did for me. He didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear--he told me the truth, gave me realistic expectations, and then worked incredibly hard to help me achieve the best possible outcome. If you are looking for an attorney who will be honest with you, fight for you, and go above and beyond when it matters most, I would absolutely recommend Mr. Shinton. I am very thankful that I chose him to represent me. WORTH EVERY PENNY Thank you Mr. Shinton

Upon my arrival I was very hesitant to meet Marc because for one this is a very important matter. Also, Ive had my fair share of bad experiences with lawyers... You know the notion that all lawyers are sleazy, conniving, and money hungry. That may be true about most, thanks God this experience was very different. Marc, was not out to get my money but he did listened to my concerns and gave me valuable information on how to improve my situation. He was tactful, honest, and to the point. In the future I hope I do not need to use a lawyer, but it is nice to know that if I do need one I can call Marc. Thanks again!!!

    Marc: Yes, it was…read moreback in 2007. And yes, it was YOU who my husband and I met with, back when your law office used to be located at 600 N. Mountain Ave. And yes, in your 28 years of practice, you DID tell someone that their injuries were no big deal. You told me that. You even laughed about it. I left your office in tears. It was either YOU or someone else who looks exactly like you, with the same red hair and exact same name as you, practicing law, right here in Upland, CA! Back in 2007, I needed a criminal defense attorney for my DUI case to defend my rights to due process and a fair trial--especially after what I had already been through--but instead, all I got was snark and verbal attack from you. As a result, I eventually ended up having a public defender. Needless to say, it was worth saving the money. Besides humiliating me during your consultation, you had also joked about one of your clients who lived in Big Bear (which was where my incident occurred). You joked about how much money he had to spend every time you had to drive all the way up there to represent him in court for his DUI. Does that ring a bell? 19 years later, your name came up when a friend of mine was telling me about a civil matter and his free consultation with you. I told him about my experience I had with you 19 years ago and that's why I'm posting now. And after reading so many other bad reviews, it only makes sense to speak up, even if it takes 19 years to do so.

She…read morearrived to court late, was unprepared and even lied to my face about a vital piece of the case. She did not represent my interests and instead acted like a mediator, which is not why their office was hired. JC could not even convey to the court which days each party was to have my daughter. She gave inaccurate information which would have reduced my custodial time with my daughter. My mom had to shout NO from the back of the court room and the judge had to stop the proceedings so that JC could get it right. The judge she was visibly frustrated I would not recommend JC, save your money or go elsewhere.

I asked the receptionist who scheduled the call for me, if I could send my copies of summons during the consultation call, because they close at 5pm and I get off at 4pm and didn't have time to send the papers before. She assured me it would be okay. I rushed home while on the call and around 4:30 I asked Ms Allen if I could send her the papers. She said it was too late, but then continued to say she needed to see the papers before she could answer a specific question I had. I said again I could send it to her right now, since I rushed home for this exact purpose. She said we were already at the 45 minute mark and now was the time to say if I wanted to work with them or not. I was very disaapointed with the call and feel really ripped off. She didn't help me in any way besides telling me I didn't have a chance. She charged me $200 and didn't even review my papers. If it wasn't possible, the recepistionist should have told me to reschedule it. I would have rathered that than waste my money on something I got no value from. She was not kind or helpful, can't imagine hiring her to represent me and think about my best interests in court. I had better consults from a free lawyer and even one that just charged $40. She was rude and pushy too. No thanks.

Since my mother is older and sometimes gets overwhelmed or emotional in these types of conversations, I usually step in to support her so she doesn't feel taken advantage of. My plan was to cover the costs and participate in the consultation, as I normally speak with a few attorneys before hiring one. When my mother asked to include me on the call, she was told that I could not be added, and that if I wanted to speak separately it would require a $400 consultation fee. To me, this felt more like a money grab than a reasonable policy, especially since I was the one offering to hire and pay for the attorney. In my experience working with other attorneys, I haven't run into this type of restriction before. I also followed up directly by phone but did not get the clarity I was hoping for. Because of this, I decided not to move forward with the firm. This was just my personal experience, and others may have different ones. For me, it raised concerns about fit and communication style, and I chose to look elsewhere for representation. This might explain their bad reviews.

Was directed to call at 12:35pm if no one reached out, so I did because no one called. Was then informed that they had no appointment on the books and nothing available anytime soon.
