I first signed a contract with this firm on October 25, 2023, and agreed to pay $3435 for a completely uncontested and ammical divorce, with all of the financials already agreed upon by myself and my ex spouse. All I wanted them to do was make sure the paperwork was filed correctly and in a timely manner. Things started out promising, with the divorce papers served by October 31st, but that's where things went really down hill. Over the next several months, they would go weeks without answering my emails, I was passed around to several different paralegals and lawyers without any sort of notice or explanation. There were several times when I had to follow-up with them several times just to get a simple question like "Hey, where are we in the process?" answered. They told me that there was a 6-month waiting period in California before a divorce could be finalized, and told me several times that it was on track to be finalized by the end of May 2024, but in June, I started getting responses like "There was a problem with our system, I'll look into this on Thursday" On June 19th, I finally got an answer from a partner that I had never worked with before, telling me that they filed my divorce "earlier this month" (It's telling that they never gave me dates for anything), and that it would take the court a while to get around to it. I then had to request the case number to track it myself, and I only knew to do that because I had a friend who works at a different family law firm (That I couldn't hire because they only work on highly contested cases for millionaire clients). All in all, my uncontested divorce was finalized on September 11, 2024, almost a year after I hired this firm to do something that should have taken 6 months. And why am I just now writing this review, 10 months later? Because I got a $950 bill out of the blue, because the billing department forgot to bill me for the remainder of my flat fee when the divorce was finalized. Every aspect of this law firm is a disorganized mess, and I do not recommend trying to work with them. I can't imagine how awful it would be with a complicated case. read more

I am a self-represented party in my divorce case. Because the matter involves myself and my children, I have been very proactive in preparing court materials and communicating directly with opposing counsel. Unfortunately, this attorney has almost never communicated with me directly--every single letter or response has come through her assistant. An occasional delegation I could understand, but every time is not professional. What was most concerning happened just yesterday outside the courtroom. Instead of keeping the discussion focused on the case, she looked at me and said: "As a mother myself, I don't think your child needs to see a therapist. I think you are the one who needs to see a therapist." For an attorney to speak this way to an unrepresented opposing party is not only disrespectful but also highly unprofessional. A lawyer's role should be to advocate and negotiate on the legal issues--not to make personal attacks. This experience left me deeply disappointed, and I believe it is important to share it so others are aware. read more

I consulted with several law firms about how to structure my business, but after speaking with Virginia during a free consultation, I felt the difference. She was patient with my situation and generous with her knowledge, helped me think through my options, and patiently explained everything step by step. I could tell she genuinely cared about helping people, not just giving generic advice. To be honest, other law firms I spoke with didn't offer the same level of insight or support. After a few more consultations, I decided to go with Virginia's firm -- and I'm really glad I did. At first, I hesitated because their pricing was a bit higher than some other places. But after going through the entire experience, I can honestly say the service and results are absolutely worth it. The value they provided -- especially Virginia's expertise and the team's support -- made a real difference. I started working with the firm in 2024, and they helped me resolve a complicated loan dispute in just a few months -- much faster than I expected. It was a very stressful time for my company, and Virginia's background in business structuring and tax played a key role in helping me recover. I was facing a major financial loss, and she truly helped pull me out of it. Now I'm also working with her and their immigration attorney Robert on my immigration case. They've been thoughtful, strategic, and always guided me based on what's best for my situation. What really stands out is how they consistently think from the client's perspective and always makes me feel supported and understood in a professional way. Looking back, I'm really happy I chose this law firm. Virginia genuinely wants to use her knowledge to help people, and it shows in every interaction. I'd definitely recommend this firm to anyone who's looking for someone who cares and truly knows what they're doing. read more

I worked with Skywheel Law APC on a highly complex family law matter involving cross-border financial issues, subpoena enforcement, and asset tracing. While my case presented many unusual challenges, I was fortunate to have Virginia and Catherine by my side during the hard time. Virginia Liu was patient, understanding, and always willing to listen deeply--qualities that are invaluable when navigating emotionally and legally difficult territory. Catherine Hong, the firm's legal assistant, is one of the most responsible, diligent, and kind professionals I've ever encountered. Her follow-through, responsiveness, and respect for details gave me a sense of security at a time when everything felt uncertain. If you are seeking a family law firm in Orange County that truly cares, and that will stand by you with kindness and honesty, I wholeheartedly recommend Skywheel Law. read more

Wanted $2000 retainer for a simple agreement and didn't disclose their hourly rate at all. Kept saying we will take about one to 3 hours and if money left we will refund and if not we will charge more. Asked twice about the hourly rate but no response on the rate. read more

I contacted this law firm last December when I was desperately trying to get some legal advice/help. Catherine, Esther and the lady who helped me interpret the whole conversation into Mandarin (I'm very sorry I forgot your name) talked to me, listened to my problems over an hour and gave me marvelous advice. I had no idea why they would do so much to help me when I was just a person from a random call. I didn't have enough money to hire them since I was in a crisis but I would never forget their kindness and patience. I truly believe that they care about people, and honestly this is the only law firm that listened to me. I really appreciate them and value their knowledge. If you're looking for a good attorney to help you, I believe Skywheel Law is your best choice. (Thank you so much for saving me from nightmares.) read more
