When searching for a divorce attorney, I know it can be quite challenging and it feels like most firms only care about how much they will charge you to represent you. Nevertheless, this firm is different. They will do everything they can to get you the best possible outcome for your case as they did for me. The staff and lawyers are extremely compassionate, intelligent, communicate effectively, are always available, work as a team, and do an excellent job to win your case. You will want to hire the team I worked with Jenny and Mr. Stolar to represent you. They are all amazing, knowledgeable in the law, while keeping you informed every step of the way. They treat you more like family than a client. I was so happy with the results and knew I can count on them. Hire them now and you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Took $2000 to write up a first draft of a premarital agreement, gave me horrible legal advice and oversimplified the agreement, did not include any details personal to our situation (it was just a template with our names and the date of the wedding essentially) and then disappeared. I called him after to discuss the second/final draft and was never able to contact him again. Phone goes straight to vm. According to the State Bar website he's not licensed to practice anymore because he did not pay his fees. We think he just scammed us for the money read more

3.5 years he did nothing. has cost me almost everything I received in my entire life. Did nothing. said he did, told different dates, didnt appears. It was like playing chess with him. Only the game isnt over until I sue. Then we have checkmate. Poor example of a human being let alone a laywer. read more

Stolar Law Group, APLC - Consumer Alert! No Longer allowed to practice law in California. I know why - Divorce & Family Law Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

This is a long overdue review. These guys know the law. And they don't give a damn about you except for your money. I spent over $100k and 3 years in total for a simple divorce. They lure you in, put in lies about how easily done it will be, then just leave you there after they get your $25k retainer. Each phone call starts off at the hundreds. 5 mins call is equivalent to a 15 mins, which the secretary is $300/hr, and lawyer is $600+/hr. They have done nothing for me except the simple paper works. If you have a case, don't use them. They are sharks or all sharks! read more

I hired attorney Stolar and found him to be attentive, caring and thorough in his handling of my case. His fee was fair and I feel he was well worth his hourly rate. I have recommended him to others and they have all agreed he is great read more

Will take your funds. Neglect your case with his incompetence. Harm you and your case, will demand payment to fix his mistakes with his incompetence. Give you a pity party, when his pity party does no work of insane excuses, he will resort to threats and name calling his clients. read more

Not a great attorney. He charged me 8k and never showed up to court. He ignores my phone calls and emails. He hired a local attorney who knew nothing about my case. They never showed up to court either i got any court date. Take your business somewhere else to save you a headache and health condition. Steven and his firm had put my boyfriend through hell. It has been one year and he has done nothing. He gave this attorney everything he thought he asked and still he haven't done nothing. Not even one case date to resolve or even look into his case. He never looked into my case nor anyone from his office did anything for us. Please read all the negative reviews before even thinking about hiring him. read more

Let me start by saying these guys crushed it. We will start with Jenny. She is so thoughtful and thorough with the process. She is understanding and kind and remains sensitive to the situation no matter how complicated. Then you have Mr. Stolar himself. He was very kind, incredible attention to detail and understanding. Now let's get to the attorney. Rose was who represented us. I've never met someone in law with so much passion. She treats every case as if she was dealing with her own children. Never hesitated to lay things out on the table with transparency and reality. Rose was a rockstar under pressure and fought tooth and nail to get us the desired outcome. Hopefully we never need representation again but if we do my first call will be to Stolar and Assc. read more

I definitely recommend this law firm for your representation. I remember the first day I contacted Stolar & Associates. I was calling multiple firms to represent me in my case and out of all of them, this firm was the most supportive and had the immediate answers I needed. The beginning I spoke with Steven Stolar himself who listened and answered my pending questions. He assigned me Anthony Ukran as my attorney. Mr. Ukran was a great attorney who had a strong confidence in my case and always responsive to my questions. He had a high knowledge and expertise in my case. I also appreciated the law firm's office administrator Jenny Barizian. She was also very helpful and would support me with anything that I needed. In many words, I felt that she went above and beyond for my case. The law firm got the outcome that I desired for my case and even after my case was over, they still provided me with anything I asked for. There isn't enough thanks for what this law firm has done for me and I recommend it highly so others can have the same experience that I had. read more

From my initial consultation with Steven Stolar, I knew that he was the right person. He understood the family dynamic and central issues within a few minutes of me explaining the situation to him. The case was long and drawn out because the other party insisted on pursuing meaningless litigation. However, Steven and his team fought their frivolous claims and achieved the outcome I was looking for. There were several incidents that occurred outside of the court where the other party attempted to illegally withhold custody, Once again, Steven and his team were available immediately to enforce the custody agreement and coach me on next steps. I am very happy that I chose Steven Stolar and his team to represent me and I appreciate his honesty and dedication in getting me and my children a favorable outcome. He will help you through your tough times. read more

I cant say enough good things about Steven Stolar and his team of lawyers. Steven always returned my calls and answered my questions. Mr. Stolar with the help from his associate was was able to negotiate a reasonable solution to my case. They did what other law firms could not do. I couldn't be happier with their services and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

This organization is untrustworthy, Mr. Stolar has no heart and will drop your case if he feels that you are not committed to financial ruin. They will seem friendly at first, like a cute Kaola Bear, then give them time and you will see their true nature. They paid me for my previous review, ti knock down some debt, immediately after they dropped my case. read more

I had a few issues left from my divorce that i needed to settle . I have been to a few attorneys that never game me a straight answer . So i continued interviewing more attorneys till i found the Stolar law group . I hired them and was very satisfied with the results . Just the facts and no stories . Would recommend them over and over again . Thank you . read more

Stolar & Associates is a great law firm , that truly cares for there clients. Jenny is God sent along with Stolar, Hinz, Barsamyan, and the rest of there crew. They are sharp, well prepared and they give there best advice. Although they have a business to run i never felt that it was all about money, they were fair compassionate and understanding. read more

I have never had to hire a lawyer before, and Steve came highly recommend. I am glad he was. Steve was amazing. He took care of my needs, being sensitive to my needs and concerns, and resolved the mater a lot more quickly than I thought. I could not be happier with the outcome. If you really want someone you can actually trust, then Steve is your guy. I cannot thank him enough read more

My experience w/ Stolar has to have been an eye opening experience for my divorce. This company is not for the faint of heart. BUT.. they kicked ass for me. When first starting my divorce, I was literally a wreak emotionally. Jody the communications officer took my calls even at home. Not least to say that she took an active interest in not only my case, but me as well as she called numerous times in the evening & on weekends A few of the reviews here are negative.. this said Barry Fisher my attorney, seemed to always have a keen eye for the long view in taking care of not only my case.. but me as well. And I never felt handed off, because I wasn't. Yep.. maybe a little pricey, but for my case it was worth every penny. Life looks great now..! R- read more

Hired Steven years ago. He charged me 8k and never showed up to court he hired a local attorney who knew nothing about my case to to represent me in Ridgecrest, CA. He is a big talker on the phone however does nothing to help but takes your money. I ended up firing him and still have the letter I was sending to the CA bar with stamps he begged me not to send. I: wouldn't hire a attorney for child custody issues anymore do it yourself its easy and saves you tons of money. read more

I was always faced with such high retainer quotes that I could not afford from LA lawyers reviewing my potential divorce case that I was stuck in divorce limbo. I couldn't go forward. My life was on hold until I found Stolar who had such a reasonable fee I admit I was at first concerned...but they were extremely knowledgeable and didn't try to amp up the fee with add on costs over time as I feared. I only paid the retainer. It was such a good experience that when my nephew found himself in the same limbo but for child custody, I recommended he give Stolar a try. His experience was as positive as my own which is proof really. Two different cases and areas of practice and both successes at a price decent hardworking but not rich people can afford. Gives you peace of mind and results! Heartily recommended to allow you to afford to move on with your life when other lawyers fees are daunting and keep you frozen in place. read more

Unprofessional and unethical approach to a situation where an individual deeply sadden with there current Family arrangements. Asked for a $5000 retainer within two weeks entire amount was deployed without any results. If you have a very deep pockets and like to waste your time and money please give them a try! read more

I recently used the services of Steven Robert Stolar for my divorce in Southern CA and I couldn't ask for a more professional team. I was trying to do an amicable divorce by myself and soon I realized that I really needed a professional. Met with Mr. Stolar one day and he thoroughly explained my options and costs. I felt very comfortable that I would be in good hands that I asked him to take on my case. From the beginning his staff was very professional, friendly and responded on a timely basis to any questions I had. Thank you Mr. Stolar, Mr. Curtis, Gabby and specially their office administrator Jenny that was very helpful every step of the way. Once again thank you and for those reading this review, go see Mr. Stolar and his team he'll get your legal needs taken care of. Thank you. **Oscar read more

I looked up Stolar and Yelp to see if he was still in business and not disbarred, and surprise surprise, this ole' shiester is still kicking...Isn't it a little suspicious that this guy has only two reviews on Yelp, as a "prominent" Beverly Hills Lawyer for decades??? He must pay to have them scrubbed like they will no doubt do with mine. He charged me $40K and never even filed a motion. Every Bill was $9995.00, the rates were off the chart, He will meet with you the first day (notice the tattered office furniture) and then hand your case to a far lessor attorney that will gut you like a fresh trout. read more

Simply wonderful service. At the worst time of my life I was afforded a piece of mind that kept me sane in a difficult time. They were on top of the law and made the right call on all my issues, questions and concerns. My lawyer definitely earned the money dealing with repeated charges from the other side in my family issues. Mist important to me, I was repeatedly explained how I was positioned in relation to my concerns and set at ease. read more

Worst experience ever !! Never went to court for my divorce and took thousands!!! Handed me off to a lawyer after lawyer, so unprofessional!!! Please don't let the Beverly Hills address fool you! read more

Big thank you's to Steven and his staff! He took what could have been a very difficult situation and turned it into something positive. He came highly recommended to me and I highly recommend him without hesitation. He is extremely knowledgeable, fair, and listens. He was able to handle my situation with kindness and compassion. I felt like I mattered. This was huge for me. I have worked with other lawyers in the past and I always felt that they pushed me to fit in their agenda. With Steven and his associates I was able to relax and trust that I was in the best hands. He and his firm never let me down. read more

My elderly, cancer ridden 89 year old father was being bullied and taken to trial by a gold digging wife. Two weeks before he passed away they had the divorce she filed for expedited and signed by the judge, protecting his living trust and our inheritance from her greed. Stolar and Associates then got them to drop the trial and settle for half of a small amount in their joint bank account. They are pleasant, efficient, cost saving and get the job done. We basically got everything we wanted in spite if several trucks and maneuvers on her lawyers part. Excellent! read more

I would give Steven Stolar a negative star rating if it was an option based on the following: I was deployed overseas in a war zone when my wife went sideways and it left me in a very vulnerable position to vet any legal counsel, let alone defend myself. So, taking a chance I hired Steven Stolar to handle my divorce. Stolar pawned my case off on an inexperienced, and newly minted attorney who soon quit his law office for a better job. Next, Stolar assigned my case to another associate who was disbarred and wasn't licensed to practice law! Finally, he gave my case to a third subordinate who when I eventually returned to the States found that my case had been comingled with another divorce case client whose name was similar! I suffered a huge loss due to the incompetence of Stolar & Associates which included, but was not limited to egregious alimony, lost most of my parents inheritance, and sanctions. It's embarrassing to think about what I originally paid Stolar in attorney fees, and even after all the above he demanded more in attorney fees to continue representing me! Take your business elsewhere. This man has no honor, and is incompetent to say the least. Update: several years later I offered Mr. Stolar the opportunity to make good on the disastrous outcome of my case and he stated that he would represent me, but wanted more money, and that I must make a retraction of my review. This review is accurate and honest of the way my case was handled. No more money, and no retraction. BEWARE of this outfit! read more

My attorney at Stolar & Fischer, Robert Curtis, has provided me with exceptional care and counsel during a divorce and custody battle that has involved a high level of conflict and numerous false allegations against me. He's helped me to retain a healthy amount of custody in all of this while even creating the opportunity for me to have more custody restored. I genuinely feel like he has my best interest and my daughter's best interest in mind, and I'm confident in his defense of me with high hopes for what is ahead. Additionally, the firm is honest and upright in their billings and dealings. Everyone has been wonderful to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good family lawyer. read more

I am fortunate to find Steven Stolar and his firm. I am fortunate he agreed to take on my complicated case. I am fortunate and beyond words grateful to him and his team for resolving my case. He gave me back what was lost for years: a sense of peace, safety and justice. If you need an attorney you can TRUST, who will PASSIONATELY FIGHT for you and KNOWS HOW, who is PERSONABLE, REACHABLE and COST-EFFECTIVE - Steven Stolar and his staff is THE ONE! read more

Steven Stolar and his firm were very responsive, professional and kind. His fees and billing were very fair. He cares about his clients welfare......they are not just another case to him and his staff. read more

My experience with Stolar and Associates was absolutely first class. Steve Stolar kept me reassured and calm during the entire process and he got me the result I wanted. In the end this was a real win/win situation for me and the opposing party. I mustn't forget to mention the staff, especially Jenny, who were helpful and responsive. No need to look any further and I give the highest recommendation for Stolar and Associates. read more

I recommend Stolar and associates firm and I'll to talk to them. here is why Mr. Stolar has present support and his associates accommodate my case. read more

Overcharged. Did not return calls. Charged me for a "FREE" consultation. Over estimated fees. Totally felt taken advantage of! Run Away... Run Away fast. I would never recommend him to anyone!!!! read more

Double and triple billed for producing the same thing over and over when their office lost it. Promised hearings and never produced them. Failed to provide crucial documents until 6 months after the fact costing me a huge chunk of my life. He will promise you that your case is simple and will be low cost and then two years later you are still being drug through court represented by a fresh out of law school attorney that you will never even meet. read more

I ended up living out an episode of "Who did I Marry" in real life. Luckily I was referred to this law office two days before I had been served with a court date where i had to prove my innocence. Immediately Mr. Stolar and Mr. Curtis came up with a plan of action in my case and executed it precisely. These gentlemen had a number of accolades that were very impressive in their past in the legal profession. In court I felt there was no way I could prove my case however my lawyer convinced me and the Judge on more than one occasion during my court proceedings of my X wife's affinity for lying and breaking the law. This helped win every case I have had. Next is the trial where my X intends to use fabricated evidence against me. With the assistance of Mr. Stolar & Mr. Curtis I am confident. These gentlemen are even preparing an expert witness to testify on my behalf that should vindicate me from my Xes unfounded allegations. Also I have to say that the legal secretary Ms. Barizian has been an advocate for me and my family from day one. Always keeping me up to date with my case and explaining legal jargon in a way I can understand easily. Ms. Barizian has, in my opinion, a passion for children and their families that has touched me and is reflected in the tenacious way she peruses any and all avenues toward my case. She has on more than one occasion worked late just for the sake of my children and has always made a positive difference in my case because of it. She has also made a positive impact on my heart for the way she has cared and treated me on a personal and professional level.. If I did not have the representation from this law office my life would be 100% different today, and today I am happier and more confident in my life than I ever have been. read more
