Worse Law Firm ever. Don't hire them. They'll rip you off and then sent you a bill that you owe a certain amount when they haven't even done anything in your case. Go somewhere else if you want to atleast have a chance in getting your children or suing DCFS read more

Your customer service or receptionist has a very bad attitude. Yesterday, my son tried to get help and the woman was very rude. Someone called him but he was working (firefighter) and when he called back, the receptionist was rude again. You never know the hurt someone is feeling and how it's not easy to have to hire a lawyer and tell a stranger their problems. YOU should have more empathy or don't be in this business. You were highly recommended by a friend who used your services 9 yrs ago. Maybe the quality of service has changed. This is not an easy call to make for this family. read more

I spoke to someone by the name of Georgette she was rude and inconsiderate and hung up on me after I stated she seemed very unwelcoming in the conversation read more

I actually would give this attorney -5 stars. I paid him a retainer fee over 20k because CPS took my daughters newborn at birth for no justified reason.The caseworker used provable false allegations, withheld crucial evidence from the court, and discriminated against my daughter and violated her and my grandchilds civil rights. We discussed in detail exactly what the money was going to cover which included reopening the case from 6yrs prior to introduce new medical evidence that proves she was worngly charged and had her first baby taken over a misdiagnosed metabolic bone disease of prematurity that causes non painful asymptomatic fractures that are commonly mistaken for abuse. Most of the money was going to cover the travel costs for him and two doctors who specialize in that condition and would testify at the trial. After being postponed several times until 10 months post removal Vince didn't show up, no doctors came, no motion was filed to reopen the prior cas. He never traveled out at all, he paid a local public pretender $200 to stand in for him until the trial and ditched our case on them. They weren't familiar with details and he didn't forward any of the evidence we had given him. Completely blew it and the court ruled to by pass on reunification even though my daughter completed all her services. My daughter who was told she wouldn't be able to convince more children after complications with her first pregnancy forced doctors to deliver her baby 3 months early, was pregnant (very high risk again) and CPS took that baby at birth as well. He refused to return my money and had the odasity to send me a bill for another 12k threatening to sue me if I don't pay it I found out from the person who did my consultation that they quit working for him because he was doing the same thing to all his clients. It's been 22 months since they took her daughter and 10 months since they took her third child(my sister adopted her first son and has the other two) My daughter won her appeal they reversed the lower courts ruling and ordered both be returned to my daughter based on the fact there was no evidence indicating any danger at the time of removal or that they were at risk of suffering eminent harm caused by their mother like CPS claimed. He could have gotten the case closed along time ago and prevented the devastating loss of her third child. Find someone else or go pro say whatever you do don't waste your time and money hiring this attorney. Don't give up keep fighting Im going to do my best to expose the agency and those profiting from the crimes they commit. Hopefully this wrongdoing will end up costing them a lot of what these people care about more than the well-being of children and families. What they took is priceless the pain and suffering caused can't be fived with money. But that's the main reason why they take peoples children and the goal is to not give them back the court appointed attorneys and everyone else in the courtroom except for the judge conspire together against parents.Dont be fooled and don't be afraid to speak up in court if they don't want to share evidence you have or you feel like they are not defending you fairly don't allow them to sink you and don't miss your opportunity to interrupt and tell the judge you want to fire your public defender and you need the court to appoint a different attorney you have the right to competent fair representation it's called a faretta motion. You have a right under the Constitution to effective counsel paid for and appointed by the court. The judge makes their rulings based on the facts and evidence presented and they will go with CPS recommendations without requiring them to show physical proof that they evidence to back up their claims unless you ask to see evidence that proves removal was necessary and to see the exidence that no reasonable alternatives could be implemented to keep from removing the child. The best advise didn't come from anyone profiting from the trafficking of peoples children. It came from the ombudsperson receptionist she said words can be like magic if you know how to use them in the proper time frames she advised within 30 days of removal send a certified letter to the agency address to personal in charge like the director asking for second evaluation and reconsideration on the agencies decision. Tell them why you don't agree that it was in the best interest of your child to be removed from your custody and requested this review be done by a third party if there was evidence not mentioned in the case report make sure to include copies and ask that the review include this evidence you feel is important and should be considered if there are statements or facts that are not true state those corrections. Explain your capabilities of caring for and keeping your child safe. Give three alternatives that could remedy any concerns. If the agency does not respond or produce that evidence the judge will drop the case just fyi​ read more

I've first consulted with attorney Vincent Davis it seems like forever ago. I had CPS problems and he helped me through that case and now I'm suing CPS. Over the many many months I haven't been able to hire him, but I watch his YouTube channel and we text often. I asked questions and he answers them. He has been a great support and resource for me in my battle. He is extremely knowledgeable about CPS matters, fighting them in CPS court and now suing them in Federal Court. I anticipate hiring him soon. But I recommend that you hire him early if you can. Definitely 5 star attorney. read more

Mr. Davis supported me with family law and educated me on the court system. I have taken his classes and spoke to his representatives that also made sure I spoke directly to him. Thank you for helping out all the families that fight hard to keep their children and to stay together. read more

Vincent Davis represented me in a CPS case. He got my children back to me. Then he represented my children in a civil rights lawsuit against CPS cause they were hurt in foster care. I can only say he great and he and his law firm stood by us every step of the way. If you have CPS problems call Vince. read more

Vince Davis represented me in. DCFS / CPS case in LA County. I was in a big bind. Instead of going to trial against Davis they decided to give me a sweet heart deal. During the negotiations they tried to pull a fast one, but Davis had to remind them about the law and facts. If I kept the court appointed lawyer I would have been screwed. It really helps to have a 39 year expert trial lawyer. You get sweet heart deals. read more

good help with information he helped with a lot slow response but when he replied he called and helped me find things I been looking for for awhile now thank you read more

I have had almost exact same experience as 'Distraught C.' And, I have been preparing to file a complaint to CA Bar Association. My exeriences include; - Quick to take the case, but immediately slacked once the retainer was paid. - Their work contained errors, mistakes, in addition to missed deadlines and deliverables. - No intention to attend the meeting, no plan, no scheduling, no strategy. - Invoices contained hours of waste that did not help my case, rather hurt or weaken my case. - Numerous billing errors: I was told it's my job to find errors and correct. I cannot believe the low level of morale and competency this firm has as I also worked at a 100-lawyer firm. Let's file complaints at California Bar Association. It has an online form and easy to fill out. Let's show a power of consumers and act together: after several similar complaints, this firm will have to shut down. The service is not $20 per hour, but $350 to $450. It's a serious offence that the firm commits. To family, friends and staff at Vince Davis law firm; Do not pretend clients and post a 5-star review. We can tell when it's faked. read more

I've had a similar experience that other people have that have left reviews. I was given a real pep talk by Herb, promising that I'd get positive results by a specific point in my case. This didn't happen. He also told me that in his opinion my case could be resolved with my initial deposit of $5,250.00. I've now spent twice that, and my case still isn't resolved. Additionally I explained to Herb that I was on disability and IF I had to come up with more money, it would take time to be able to come up with that money, I was told not to worry, they would work with me. Well Jodi in the billing department told me to "F" off over the phone. STAY AWAY, STAY VERY FAR AWAY FROM THESE CROOKS WHO JUST WANT YOUR MONEY, AND THEN YOU BECOME NOTHING TO THEM! FIND ANOTHER FIRM! read more

I called Vincent Davis's office for guidance on a family law situation I'm experiencing and received exceptional service, information and support. Within a day, I received a call back and they were incredibly helpful. During that call they provided solid information on how to handle my current situation. I highly recommend the folks at Vincent W Davis Attorney At Law. They made this process a lot less stressful. read more

During my consultation with this attorney I was specifically told many times that I would only have to pay a fixed amount to retain them and that my case should not require more or go to trial. This was a lie, the day my court date came they quickly started talking to me about hiring them for representation during the trial and I was told to plead not guilty. It was as if I was talking to a completely different person. I realized these lawyers were just looking for money and I decided to plead no contest. Do not hire this attorney, talk to a number of lawyers before making a decision on legal help. read more

If you have any legal problem, I highly recommend attorney Vincent Davis. Mr. Davis is a caring and understanding attorney and he will hold your hand through the complicated legal process. He also has a great staff that will bend over backwards to assist you during these trying times. Mr. Davis is very knowledgeable about the law and is a skilled advocate in the courtroom. He has a reputation of being a bull dog, and fights for his clients' rights. The law firm's fees are not the least expensive, but they are fair and well worth Mr. Davis's 27 years of experience. I talked to other attorneys with less experience, and let me tell you, all attorneys are NOT the same. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Vincent W Davis & Associates. Stasha read more

Contacted this service had a free discussion regarding working on a contingency basis. After we sent all of our paper work and sent all requested information, we never had a response from John Demarr. After a follow up we were told that they are no longer taking contingency cases and were not even given the option to retain them with an estimate. After reading these review I am happy to find another legal representative and would like to thank john for not wasting an additional 6 months and $$$$$$ read more

It just keeps getting better! After not hearing from this law firm for over 1 year, they filed a lawsuit against me for over $20,000, saying I owed them for back legal fees! I NEVER RECEIVED A PROPER INVOICE WITH CORRECT AMOUNTS! Long story short, they received a judgement against me, which I appealed and when finally, with legal support, had the judgement overturned by a court that realized just how screwed up this office is. I cannot be more direct, stay away from this firm. There are way too many choices out there for legal council for you to settle with this place. I got lucky, but it took quite a bit of time and effort to make the problem stop! read more

I usually never write reviews of any type, but this time I felt it necessary so that other consumers are aware of the horrific business ethics this law firm has. I retained this firm and was told to give a retaining fee of about $2500. I met with the attorney once for about 15 minutes and a month later I withdrew my claim and no longer did needed their services. I asked the Firm about my refund because I knew for a fact $2500 dollar deposit was not used... Unless a couple of emails back and forth cost that much! This has been going on since early 2013. Their customer service department tells me that their billing department will call me and they never do. This has been a nightmare and it has gotten to the point that I have threaten to file a complaint with the BBB and government agencies. If you go on the BBB website, a complaint has been filed against this Firm...and guess what? They never responded to any requests from the BBB either!!! I would give this Firm a rating of -10 but that is not possible. Please, please consumers, do not use this Firm for anything because they rob people of time and money!! I wish I had read some of the reviews before I retained them. read more

My wife contacted the firm today for juvenile services. She spoke with a case manager who badgered her repeatedly. This employee per my wife's description sounded extremely uneducated and lacking professionalism. The conversation became so heated that the Attorney had to interrupt the phone call to speak with my wife. The case manager went as far as saying" We will do whatever you want mam, as long as you can pay us $350 an hour." In a sarcastic manner. It speaks in volumes on the Attorneys judgement to have a "Case Manager" which is completely barbaric, and idiotic representing his firm. Once I reviewed the other reviews, the decision became quite clear... We will be attaining services elsewhere. read more

Honestly, Attorney Davis has helped our family with several legal issues on more than one occasion, and i have to say he and his firm have been outstanding. His 28 years of experience is what really separates him from the rest and puts him at the top of his profession. I've seen the difference between a 28 year, and a 5 year, and even a 10 year veteran attorney and It's like night and day! I would highly recommend him! read more

Shannon Meade offered to look to see if I had a valid case that he could help me with. I understand he still needs to determine if I have wrongful termination, or broken contract of workers compensation case. So far his assistance is much needed and appreciated. I was so impressed, with the manner the staff received me, very polite and professional. I can only speak for myself, but the staff's courtesy and gentle spirit, overwhelmed me. I have been in lawyers offices and have been exposed to horrible circumstances. I had retained an attorney in the past that misrepresented me, even lacked any professionalism, was a disgrace to the legal system, Mr. Meade has changed my opinion of the legal system, there is hope. Thank you Mr Meade read more

if i could get them 0 stars I would! like everyone else here, I've had a terrible experience with this law firm! they cant even file documents to the court on time and then cant even serve subpoenas properly! when the firm makes an error, they call me and ask me for more money! if you guys are incompetent, then dont offer the service and dont ask the clients to re-pay AGAIN when you screw up! my case has been dragging on with them for 2 years now and we're probably not even close to done. they slam me with ridiculous bills that have very high charges, when i paid $5,000 down for my family law case! to date, they havent even served my soon to be ex-husband yet, and i've already paid them $80 for it, because they messed up once! now they are asking me for more money! WASTE OF TIME AND WASTE OF MONEY. read more

I never even got to talk to Vincent Davis, from the moment I called I was assured they could handle my case and help me, but after that I would never get to speak with anyone who could answer my questions. I didn't pay right away and asked a lot of questions. I believe this is why this lawyer decided to ignore my case. Am I not allowed to ask questions before I hand over a chunk of money to an attorney? When I spoke to them, all I told them were my charges, they didn't ask for my side of the story or for anything else, yet they were telling me how they were going to handle it. It seemed this place just wanted to take my money as quickly as possible. If you are considering Vincent Davis' firm, thread carefully. read more

I was straight out told that if I paid the upfront fee to retain them I would have to pay nothing else for my case. However after trying to contact them multiple time over a two week period they finally respond to me, telling me I owe them and that what I paid was a deposit and they will not do anything until I make the next payment. I don't understand how a company can get away with this. read more

I am VERY disappointed with the Vincent W. Davis and Associates and their billing department. When we signed the agreement I was promised that any unused potion of my retainer would be returned to me. My case was a family maintenance plan that was transferred due to moving and only required representation at the acceptance and dismissal hearings. I paid the retainer, Mr. Davis showed up to the acceptance hearing and I nor the Social work heard from the firm until the day of the dismissal when another attorney from the firm represented me. I never received a monthly statement even though I called several times asking for one. My case has been closed over 2 months ago and I have yet to get any statements or refund of the balance of my retainer! I have called and talked to the receptionist and the accounting department continually getting the run around. I was finally told last week by accounting that Mr. Davis approved the refund of retainer and they were going to over night a check to me. A week later and no check and still no statement. I called today and was told I MUST have a phone conference with Mr. Davis himself to find out why I haven't received my check. I am preparing to file a complaint to CA Bar Association. Information YOU need to know: * He was quick to take the case, and talked a great game of planning and strategizing. * They didn't reply to deadlines asked of the Social Worker. * They never set any meetings, discussed planning or strategy. * They never return phone calls * I never received any kind of statement as to status of my retainer * I still do not have the remainder of my retainer read more

I don't even know where to begin. I was fighting for custody of my daughter and these attorneys talked a big game, but they did not deliver. I ended up winning however, it was only because my ex got caught with meth in his home while my daughter was there, open and shut case. I had to call them 2 weeks prior to the final court hearing and remind them that we needed to talk about the case. I had to place many phone calls to them and they were never to be returned promptly. Even when a restraining order was put against my ex and I called them in a panic it took 7 days and 3 calls to get a returned call. They did nothing but file paper work. As far as I am concerned these lawyers are nothing but glorified paralegals that do not return calls and charge way too much money . After everything was said and done they asked me to write a review. I told them " hell no! unless you'd like an awful one". These lawyers are nothing but a bunch of lazy sharks. I set up a payment plan with them and yet they still call me and harass me for payment. DO NOT USE THIS OFFICE! read more

Contacted Mr. Davis regarding landlord dispute. After initial conversation I could never get a return phone call, even set up a phone conference call with him and never received a phone call. Find a different attorney! read more

Terrible. read more

We are forever grateful to Mark Tseselsky for his awesome work on our Exemption Denial appeal with the Department of Social Services. His research in the early stages of the case was fantastic as he found a case similar to ours and used it against the prosecution. He handled my wife with care and feeling as this was an emotional incident to have to rehash over and over again, but his patience and expertise made it possible for us to win our case with confidence. I would have liked him to answer my emails a little quicker and to be on time for phone appointments a bit more, but I am anal about things like that :) Don't let distance stop you from hiring Mark. We live over 2 hours away from Arcadia, but everything was handled as if we lived in the same town. The one time we did a one on one meeting, Mark prepared us better than any lawyer I have seen, and thru my business I deal with lawyers all the time. You can email me at ken@sorensoncpas.com if you have any questions or concerns about this firm. They were reasonable with the hours billed, though it is a high dollar amount per hour, they don't over bill you extra hours. It was worth every dime to win the case! read more

hi, i did send a message (inter, only them can see my letter) to the lawyers office. depending on their answer i will rating this place. give me a few days and you will see. thank u. joel gutierrez. read more

My brother in law recommended this place to me, but I had a horrible experience. I don't know if this was a single incident or if this is business as usual, but I was ignored constantly and given information that my new attorney advices against. I only got to speak with my attorney once, after that I spoke with a serious of people that gave me conflicting information. I decided to quickly seek out another attorney, I'm glad I didn't give this law firm any more of my money and got out. If you hire this law firm, be very careful. read more

First of all, this office is out of and not IRVINE!!! However, I was billed for attorney drive time to Orange Supreme court from Arcadia, and have no knowledge of Orange county court practices. We have had a case open since November '12 and only have had continuances with no sense of resolution to June '13 and have been charged almost $10,000!!!!! Liars and deceivers! I asked for a flat rate and was promised one in a face to face meeting where it was expressed that if they could not produce a flat rate we would no longer use their service, Vincent Davis himself promised a flat rate then billed me for an additional 2 months of continuances only to say , "it would cost me too much to quote a flat rate and I would loose money." I am being charged with over $4,000 and they have submitted paperwork to the courts that they are no longer representing me because they would not take payments and require payment in full. I am a singlet father fighting a drug addicted mother, and this should not have called for almost $10,000 with nothing done! Please Please do NOT use this service! they are liars and will NOT help you! After seeking a new attorney, Mr. Kevin Quals, I have learned that the angle that Mr. Davis used has been inadequate and a waste of my time and money but now I, a single father, have to fight my attorneys as well as my sons' drug addicted mother. GREAT!!!! Thanks Vincent Davis for allowing my sons' mother to inflict additional pain to my 4 year old son that has been proven by the social workers within juvenile dependency court where Child Protective Services proved that hos mother is not a fit mother. Thank you for taking $10,000 of my money that was used foe nothing more than continuance and allowing his mother more time. Again, I BEG you do NOT, DO NOT use this firm!!! Please. read more

I have retained Vincent Davis law office to handle my custody case. I am very pleased with the attorneys that have been working on my case. They are professional, caring and want to get the best resolution possible. I don't feel like just another case. The attorneys that have worked with me, have gotten to know me as a person not just another case. Burt, who I had my initial consultation with is amazing. I love that Man! However, these attorneys cannot dictate what the judge will impose. They have no control over what a judge decides to do. I think people don't realize that counsel is only to represent you because they know what and how to say what needs to be said. They do not make the final decision. I think most people forget this when the end result is not what they wanted. My sincere thanks to the Law Offices of Vincent W. Davis and Assoc.. read more

I had the misfortune of doing business with Vincent W. Davis. He hired me to build a website for a branch of his law practice. After agreeing to a price, I completed the work to his specifications. In return Vincent did not pay me for the work, and stopped returning my emails and calls. This is robbery. He robbed me of my time, and of the money he agreed to pay me for my services. In my 6 years in the web design business, I have never worked with a less respectable person. I would highly recommend NOT doing any business with Mr. Davis. read more

I have worked with many attorneys and this law firm as been far the worst. Mr. Davis is quick to take new clients. Only when he knows he is getting a check, is he available. After that I had many missed appointments by him personally. He would set up phone conferences and never call. His staff reflects his value system. I would not get any billings, but would get rude phone inquiries from his staff saying that I would have to make a ridiculous payment or a substitution of attorney would be filed. After receiving such poor service, I was happy to have him drop my case. He did not. He continued to bill me and then threatened a lawsuit when I was not able to pay his outrageous bill. It would be more than willing to pay the bill if he acted in an ethical or caring manner. My case was shuffled from attorney to attorney. One time I was trying to get a hold of Ms. Nakamura, after leaving messages for a week she finally called me back and was very abrupt with me. She told me that she had been in court all those days and did not have time to go to the office and get messages and she did not get emails on her cell phone. Another attorney would call me and know no particulars of my case. He finally agreed to call me back when he had more information. Being a bully is the way in which Mr. Davis operates when he does not get his way. He threatened me with a lawsuit and said that he would serve me at my home or work in order to embarrass me. Again, I have worked with and for many attorneys and would not recommend him. My case was very personal and sensitive to me and he and his staff made it worst. He will try to get you to continue and appeal your case so he can get more money. I will be contacting the star bar regarding his treatment of clients. For yourself, avoid this law firm at all costs. read more
