This is a kind of funny review to write. Because, well, really I sincerely hope none of my friends…read moreout there in Yelp-land ever need these folks' services. On the other hand, if you do, they are made of awesome. How awesome? Let me count the ways. Well, first, a little backstory. Like so many before me, I ended in financial hell recently. No need to get into the gruesome details, let's just say it was x% folly on my part, x% horrible turns of fate, and x% evil banks (spent 2 years trying to get a mortgage modification from my lender. Every week, being told "Don't worry, you're a perfect candidate, it'll be done soon." And then rejected after two years. Wheeee!) But anyway . . . I finally faced the fact that we were going to need to take extreme measures. I was referred to the law offices of Stan Riddle (specifically to the awesome Vince Wood, although I worked with Stan a bit too, and he is also lovely). I had no idea what my options would be--always pictured bankruptcy as this absolute thing where you ended up living in a refrigerator box under the freeway eating the cheap cat food. Because the name-brand stuff is too expensive. In fact, we ended up with a structured bankruptcy where we get to keep the home and the car, our credit is of course affected but not devastated, and I no longer wake up at 3am panicking. Well, about money. Now I can save my panic for the zombie apocalypse. The process went really smoothly, and everyone (Vince, Stan, and the incredibly helpful Nicole in their office) was so communicative and reassuring. When we hit a couple of bumps in the road due to (surprise!) my mortgage lender, they were great about talking me down off a ledge, even calling me back on a Saturday after I sent a panicky e-mail saying, basically, "I know you won't be able to answer this til Monday but OMG just got a scary letter from the bank." So, do I hope that everyone I know remains financially solvent forever? Yep! But if life takes you down, these folks are amazing and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Sophie was great very personable, and honestly, she's the only reason I stayed as long as I did. Communication with her could've been a bit quicker at times, but overall, she was professional and pleasant to work with. Where things took a turn was with Attorney Matt's assistant, Katie. Her professionalism was lacking from the very first call. The phone call came out of nowhere, no proper introduction, and I honestly didn't even realize it was their office contacting me. For a legal office, that kind of first impression creates unnecessary confusion and doesn't instill confidence. Given that she is often the first point of contact, it left me feeling uneasy about the level of care and attention I would receive moving forward. I truly wish I could give a higher rating based on Sophie's efforts, but unfortunately, Katie's unprofessionalism was significant enough for me to feel that a 1-star review was warranted. First impressions matter especially when dealing with legal matters.

Kerry Spence at People's Legal Docs in San Rafael was an exceptional teacher and guide to help my…read morehusband and I to develop, execute and fund our Living Trust. There was not a single question unanswered and every explanation was with authority and real-life experience to address any concerns we had. Kerry and her team were very thorough and relentless to give us the best experience and working documents to properly execute our final wishes and best financial position for the Trust. Unfortunately, my Father-in-Law passed during our time working together and Kerry provided consultation on a few serious issues with my husband. Again, clear information and common-sense explanations that really put my husband as ease. I would highly recommend using Kerry and her team at People's Legal Docs.

As usual it couldn't have gone smoother. First off, she charges a flat fee, so you know what you're paying up front, no added cost, which I really appreciate this day and age. Her and her company made it beyond easy to understand and figure out what was best for me and my assets and to help my family easily deal with my items incase something happens to me. I went through something similar and difficult to sort out when my mother passed and didn't want my family to go through the same type of headache to deal with my assets. Kerry and her team went through their process to get everything together and listed out all my choices and ways I could deal with it. It was so easy, and didn't take long or take too much of my valuable time to get done. It was one office visit, two phone call meetings and one final signing meeting in the office. She filed everything with the county and courts, took care of everything for me. Everything was handled with care, professionalism, and ease, what else could you ask for. Then at the end, I received a beautiful leather bound binder with everything organized beautifully for my family to be able to find anything they needed easily. I was extremely please, yet again, with Kerry Spence and her company, fantastic experience and would highly recommend her to anyone needing to do a Will or Living Trust. All I can say is if you don't use Kerry, you're making a big mistake :) Thanks again Kerry, you're the best!

He has no idea of the MAJOR changes in my health and was forced out of my job in 2025. I have left detailed email when the changes started in 2024. No response or returned calls AT ALL. I have called MANY times. Left voicemails and verbal messages with the office. It's 2026 and I will have to get another attorney and need updates and progress or if I'm still a client. I have asked if I'm still a client. I feel like they are intentionally avoiding me. Years of not responding is just rude and WEIRD. I thought maybe they went out of business or Phil is no longer there. But after researching, this is a common complaint with this office. Here's a summary that came up: Public complaints regarding the Richmond, California-based Mangosing Law Group primarily center on communication issues, with former clients citing difficulty reaching the firm, unreturned emails and messages, and overall slow response times regarding the status of their workers' compensation and SIBTF claims.While there is limited formal grievance data available on major consumer platforms--the firm does not have a widely publicized volume of formal misconduct proceedings--the publicly available community feedback highlights these specific operational friction points: Unreturned Messages: Clients have expressed frustration over unanswered calls and the inability to secure conferences with their assigned attorney. Case Progression: Some complaints allege slow handling or lack of clear updates regarding the progression of their unpaid workers' compensation benefits. Office Access: Feedback notes that the office has been closed to the public at times, compounding the difficulty of in-person communication. This is not ok when our health and jobs are on the line. I've never experienced this level of feeling lost and abandoned with any business or attorney before but it's obvious they are either too busy or deem my case not worthy of their time. Whatever the reason, I don't deserve to be left in limbo.
