I was referred to Diane and the Marmolejo Law Firm by a trusted attorney friend, which gave me…read moreconfidence and the expectation that I was in good hands from the start. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. I scheduled two phone consultations. The first was rescheduled at the last minute, which I understood and was willing to accommodate. However, the second consultation was missed entirely, and I never received a call or any notice explaining the absence. As a business owner, my time is valuable. I blocked off part of my schedule specifically for these consultations and was expecting a call. While I understand that things can come up, clear communication and respect for a client's time are important, especially when someone is seeking legal guidance. I was genuinely looking forward to speaking with Diane and exploring whether the firm would be a good fit, but after two missed opportunities to connect, I was left disappointed. Based on this experience, I don't believe I'll be moving forward with this firm. I hope this feedback helps improve communication with future clients.

This review reflects my personal opinion and recollection of my experience working with this…read moreattorney. It is intended to share my honest perspective, as is my right under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and the Consumer Review Fairness Act (CRFA). Readers should conduct their own research, form their own opinions, and proceed accordingly when choosing legal representation. My overall experience with this attorney did not meet my expectations. Unfortunately, I did not achieve the objectives I had hoped for, and my situation worsened during the course of representation. My case took a significant amount of time to get filed, and communication with the attorney was challenging. During our three in-person meetings, no clear goals or deadlines were established. As a result, my family and I faced serious consequences, including the risk of foreclosure on our home, the repossession of my truck, and significant emotional distress. An emergency bankruptcy was filed only after my truck was repossessed, which left me unable to earn income. This, in turn, affected my ability to make Chapter 13 payments, leading to the dismissal of my case despite my efforts to secure employment. I was not notified when my case was closed and only learned about it through a letter from the court and a different attorney who informed me that my mother's home was at risk of being sold by the bank. I found the lack of communication and clarity regarding my case deeply frustrating. In my opinion, the attorney abandoned my case and has not responded to my attempts to seek clarification or answers about the court correspondence I have received. While I acknowledge that my financial difficulties are ultimately my responsibility, I sought this attorney's help in good faith to navigate my circumstances. I had hoped for more proactive communication and exploration of alternative options, such as filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which might have better addressed my situation. My mother also had a case with this attorney, which was similarly discontinued. However, in her case, the attorney made an effort to notify her and connect her with a different attorney. It remains unclear to us why her case was not pursued further. I want to emphasize that my experience with the attorney's paralegals was excellent. Carmen, in particular, went above and beyond to assist me and was consistently available to address my concerns. I greatly appreciate her efforts and professionalism. Based on my experience, I would not work with this attorney again. However, I encourage others to conduct their own research and make their own decisions when selecting legal representation. Edit: To retaliate is to return a harmful action with another harmful one, often in an attempt to get revenge or "even the score". Some examples include throwing a rock after being hit with one, a manager firing an employee for filing a complaint, or a country imposing tariffs after another country imposes them. Writing a fair and honest account of my experience with any business is a Constitutionally protected right. The implication that my review is retaliation in and of itself suggests that harm was somehow done to me first, so what exactly is being said here? It is categorically false and I can assure that my fair and honest review was posted simply to share my experiences with this attorney as many other people have done. It's not irregular or retaliatory for customers to review their experiences. It's part of a healthy open market system that promotes transparency and helps others make informed decisions. The personal attacks posted in response to my review are shocking and unacceptable. Revealing private information about my case is highly concerning because it violates the duty of confidentiality. This duty is protected by strict professional rules. The narrative presented in the comments is missing context and for the most part untrue.

As any parent knows going through a divorce, break up things can get to the point where both parties are in court. I never thought I would be in this position. I was hit with a child support order for $1,300 monthly for 2 kids. I was advised to go see Attorney Aubrey. When I explained my story to her. She said "Oh no I gotta help you". Mind you I don't have allot of money. She consulted me the whole way through the process. She filed out and filed all of my paperwork with the courts and had conversations with me before each court date to prepare me to represent myself. Well the paperwork was done so perfectly I didn't have to say anything. They read the documents and dropped the court ordered child support from $1,300 a month to $360 per month. Amazing I cannot believe it but she did it for me. This was the best money I ever spent on myself and my children. This allows me to pay through the court and still have funds left over to take them out when I have my court ordered weekend. Thank you so much Denise Aubrey

I stated why I was calling, and asked to learn more about her services and her response was 'how can I help you' in a rude and curt tone. I told her thank you and that I would try calling someone else. Extremely disappointing phone call. I was hoping to find some support and instead was met with an unprofessional and rude lady.

She listened carefully, created a comfortable environment, and gave clear, practical advice instead of wasting time on unnecessary steps. That gave me confidence from the beginning. I also appreciated that she had experience working with international clients and was comfortable with remote hearings, which made the process much easier for me. My case ended up taking almost three years, which was much longer than I expected. Throughout that time, Jinna remained consistent in both her communication and approach. She made sure I understood my options, explained each stage clearly, and helped me think through decisions carefully instead of reacting in difficult moments. What stood out most to me was her ability to stay focused on what mattered most while still paying close attention to the details. Even over such a long process, I always felt that decisions were being made thoughtfully and with care. I'm also very grateful to Bona for always being responsive and organized, and to Ron and Lauri for their support throughout the process. Having a reliable team made a real difference. I would recommend Jinna and her team without hesitation.
