After a terrible experience with a previous attorney, I was desperate to find someone who could…read morehelp fix the damage that had already been done in my custody case. I was on the verge of losing custody of my child due to several critical mistakes made by my first lawyer--missed deadlines, poorly prepared documents, and a total lack of strategy. That's when I found Debra Schoenberg, a family law attorney based in San Francisco, and I truly believe she saved my case. From the very first consultation, I could tell I was in good hands. Debra Schoenberg was calm, knowledgeable, and most importantly, honest about what needed to be done to reverse the course of the case. Unlike my previous attorney, Debra had a clear plan of action, explained every step thoroughly, and worked tirelessly to rebuild my position in court. What stood out most was her attention to detail and her ability to communicate not just with me, but with the court. She quickly identified where the previous lawyer had gone wrong and worked methodically to correct it. Within weeks, the tone of the case completely shifted. The judge's perception changed, and for the first time, I felt like someone was truly advocating for me and my child's best interests. Thanks to Debra Schoenberg, I was able to retain custody and reestablish stability in my child's life. I can't express enough how grateful I am. If you're dealing with a difficult family law situation--especially custody--do not waste time with someone inexperienced. Debra knows what she's doing, and she truly cares. Highly recommended for anyone in the San Francisco area looking for a family law attorney who will fight for you when it matters most.

I was called back in a couple of days and had an appointment to meet with Randall Strauss. I was amazed. He was knowledgeable, professional, kind, humorous, and I could tell that he genuinely wanted to help me in the best way he knew how. I feel confident that I was in the right hands to protect me.

COOMBS AND DUNLAP: YOUR ADMINS ARE INCOMPETENT!…read more I have a very good case involving workplace retaliation at CVS Health. This happened after reporting an internal theft operation that involves hundreds of employees and customers. I first consulted with a Coombs and Dunlap Admin over 2 months ago, giving every personal detail about my case. The admin informed me at that time that every lawyer at Coombs and Dunlap was too busy to take my very good case against CBS Health, so I asked for letters of declination from each one of them, and she refused. I just went back today hoping things had changed but it only got worse. I asked the young admin if I could speak to a lawyer, and she said no because that is not the procedure. She said no one can ever speak to a lawyer there, only to the admins unless they are a client. I told her I want o be a client, and she said that they were all too busy to take my case. I then asked if I could get letters of declination from all of the lawyers too busy to take my case and she did not know what that was. Beings that this is a theft operation involving thousands of thieves, stealing from a major Corperation like CVS, this concerns me. Also, I have had my identity stolen, where an imposter pretended to be me, collecting damages that I suffered. So having an admin who doesn't even know what a letter of declination is knowing every single detail of my potential case, and then blocking me from access to every single attorney at Coombs and Dunlap leaves me very suspicious. I left letters today to every single lawyer at Coombs and Dunlap through the mail slot on Division street in Napa, requesting a letter of declination. We will see if they get them.

Bill Gwire is an anomaly. He answers his own phone, he will leave a message and he will return your call. He listens, gets to the point and he wants to help people. This is why I am writing this. Mr. Gwire was willing to look at what no one else wanted to because it's not cost effective from a business standpoint. I did the math, thought of the hours, expert witnessess, and even though he was going to take time to just review my case let me know he was not about the money, cared, and that he had a lot of experience. Rather than cast pearl before swine, I am cutting my losses. It's sad that it takes an attorney to fix what another attorney does. Sadly, the damage is done. I don't know if I will see or think of the system as just. There are people who have the ability to take your money and run and there's nothing you can do about it. Almost, that is. Call Bill Gwire before you give up. That's what I did. Mi & Sasha

Gwire Law Offices came to our rescue when we, having no prior experience with lawyers, had been…read moretaken to the cleaners by our attorney. We had already gone to fee arbitration in Sonoma County, which we won. Then the attorney sued us the day before the arbitration award would have been final, which completely absolved him from paying us. We were shocked that a lawyer would stoop to this level, especially since a panel of three arbitrators had already found him to be in the wrong. One phone call to Gwire Law, during which a junior attorney actually listened compassionately to our ordeal and asked pertinent questions, led us to believe that this firm actually cared about justice, not about money. Bill Gwire stepped in a few days later, telling us with dismay that this was the worst case of fee gouging he'd encountered in his entire career. Then Gwire Law got us the settlement we had deserved all along, but not without a fight, because the attorney we were going after was used to intimidating people and avoiding malpractice suits completely. He fought like a mad-dog, but we finally prevailed. From day one we felt that we were treated fairly and honestly by Gwire Law, which restored our faith in the legal profession. We highly recommend this firm to anyone who has been treated unjustly by the one person who is supposed to always be on your side, your attorney.
