Working with Sabi Mand was such a comfort during a really difficult time. He was incredibly…read moredetail-oriented and always did his best to keep costs low from his side, which I genuinely appreciated. He also made a strong effort to work cooperatively with the other counsel, even when things were stressful or challenging, and he did it with so much patience and professionalism. What meant the most to me, though, was how much he cared beyond just the legal side of things. In some of the hardest moments, he was supportive, reassuring, and honestly felt like a personal therapist at times -- never once charging for that kind of help. He also shared thoughtful advice in other areas of life that I found truly valuable. I'm very grateful for everything he did and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a lawyer who is not only skilled, but genuinely caring.

I had a custody issue with my son and called Sabi for a consult, he was very informative and…read morehelpful. I didn't need his assistance at the time, but when I was served with an emergency order, Sabi and his team worked extremely quickly to respond same day and help me start to get a case ready. The process was new and nerve wrecking to me and they supported and reassured me the whole way through. I got very honest feed back about my case and the possible outcomes from Sabi. My lawyer did an amazing job and I got more than I could have asked for when my case was closed.

When I got my divorce packet plunked down at my doorstep one morning and found that my soon to be…read moreex husband had hired a lawyer, I realized that I was going to have to hire representation as well. I had no idea where to even start to look! I did a bit of research online and seeing so may good reviews, I contacted Ann Saponara. I realized right away that I made the right call, as she made me feel, immediately, more comfortable about my upcoming divorce proceedings. Ann very patiently, made sure that I understood everything that I was to sign before I signed it. She got me through many months of emotionally packed legal proceedings and never did I feel misunderstood or uninformed. Her demeanor is friendly and optimisitic, her knowledge of the legal system and how to navigate it is impressive. Her advice and her rates are both fair and consistent. Integrity and honesty are very important traits, for me personally, so I feel fortunate, in the extreme, to have found a lawyer with those same values.

Great attorney for estate planning, unconditionally recommended…read more Did an estate trust for my wife and me. The entire process from start to end was professional, accurate, thorough, well explained, well documented, timely and done at a reasonable price. She was knowledgeable and a great explainer with regards to options. She done this process many times and is highly proficient and patient with the inevitable questions from clients.

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.

In the estate law and for trust writing, this lawyer is NOT recommended:…read more Provides FINAL legal documents with misspelled names (in this legal document!); Does not discuss with the client and does not offer possible solutions for specific family set-ups: Mr. Hewitt goes by template in writing the trust, that one can do self with so many legal free sites including document creation! After cashing in the money, when invited to review and correct the document, Mr. Hewitt refused repeatedly to acknowledge the invite. No reply from Mr. Hewitt, even when the assistant confirmed he received all the requests for correction and revision. Low quality work, Disrespectful person, and Untrustworthy work.

We chose the Law Office of Adam T. Evan to do a revision of our revocable trust. We are so pleased…read morethat we did so. Mr. Evan demonstrated a deep knowledge of estate planning issues. At our final trust revision meeting he walked in with a big binder. The binder held all pertinent trust documents, all carefully categorized. An Estate Assets section was included for our convenience in adding account statements and more. He also left us with a thumb drive holding all trust documents. Mr. Evan is welcoming, approachable, and patient. He listens carefully. And something else: He has a sense of humor.

Adam handled our father's probate…read more Dad died intestate and left a mess both literally and figurately. Without Adam's help, we could not have navigated probate in Santa Clara county. Our family would have been clueless. Adam promptly handled all the probate paperwork and he kept our legal action on track. I strongly recommend Adam for probate. His professionalism and support during this difficult period places him among the best professionals I have ever hired. I have highly recommended him to old friends for wills, estate planning, and probate services. As to value: Probate fees are fixed according to your estate, and I believe Adam earned every penny in our case. Thank you to Adam and his family for the hard work and support.

My wife and I were in bad shape when I found out that my name was in a civil lawsuit that I was not…read moreaware of. I did not know what to do, especially because I would not be able to afford an attorney. My wife's friend referred me to the Paralegal who handled her divorce and her mother's trust. In the beginning, I was reluctant when I had my consultation with someone with an accent (Hamdy) but, I was impressed with his knowledge. One week after I signed the contract with his office, they filed a set-aside default and judgement on my behalf, and one month later, they had managed to get me a good settlement with the Plaintiff's attorney. I am very happy with this company, they deliver what they promise at an affordable rate. I would highly recommend Affordable Legal Assistance to anyone needs for any legal cases.

I was in a situation where I needed legal assistance- fast! I called many places that never got…read moreback to me, and the first place charged me fees to even review my documents before giving me an outrageous quote. I felt doomed, called around. Affordable and Express Legal was extremely professional. I dealt mostly with Heather, who was very attentive, communicative, and patient. She assisted me with step-by-step instructions of what I needed to do before paperwork could be submitted. Their fees were very reasonable, and I will definitely be a repeat customer if I ever need assistance in the future.

I was recently asked by a friend if I might recommend a mediator. The fourth sylable in the…read morequestion was drowned out by my immediately blurting out "Dina Haddad". My experience, several years ago, was wonderful. I found her reasonable, empathic and mostly....psychic! She warned my ex that enagaging an attorney would result in them looking at our home and putting a lien on it. My ex had issues with how things were going and ended up aborting mediation (Dina was our 2nd attempt). She engaged an attorney. Fast forward TWO FULL YEARS : $35,000 in liens from her attorney alone, and she got nothing more than she would have had she stuck with Dina to come to a settlement. Don't be short sighted - work to resolve as amacably as possible ( your grudge dies with you, as did my ex's) and a far less costly and more resonable resolution.

Going through a divorce is not fun, and I wasn't sure what to expect from mediation. But honestly,…read moreit went way better than I thought it would. Our mediator Samira was incredible. She was kind, patient, and genuinely knowledgeable. She never made either of us feel judged, and you could tell she really knew her stuff. Whatever a situation came up, she either had an answer or knew exactly where to find one. These are clearly people who have done this a hundred times and bring real expertise to the table. Everyone there genuinely cared about making things fair for both sides ,not just pushing paperwork through. They kept things calm even when it got emotional, and communication was great the whole time. I always knew what was going on and never felt lost in the process. We got to a fair agreement way faster than going to court would have taken. If you're going through something like this and need people who actually care, considering giving them a call.

I had the privilege of working with Bob in 2007 during a very difficult time in my life. I was…read moregoing through a divorce with no family around to support me, and Bob not only guided me through the legal process with expertise, but also provided genuine support and care when I needed it most. His professionalism, responsiveness, and deep understanding of family law made a world of difference. Even years later, in 2025, when I needed a copy of my divorce paperwork, his office staff responded quickly and efficiently. That level of long-term service says so much about the kind of practice he runs. Over the years, I've referred couple people to Bob, and they've all shared how satisfied and confident they felt working with him. Whenever I have any legal needs--even outside of divorce or family law--I reach out to Bob, and he always provides trustworthy and helpful referrals to other attorneys. He's someone you can count on--responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. I highly recommend Bob for anyone looking for a top-notch divorce or family law attorney.
