Manuel Parra

This review is about my experience with the paralegal Lupe and with Victor Parra, who was the attorney on my case at the time. I understand that he has since passed away and won’t see this review, but I still feel it’s important to share what happened. I want to share my experience with the paral...egal who still works at this firm, as it continues to affect me years later. My case was handled by Victor Parra, and while Manuel Parra was not involved in my situation, the paralegal assigned to my case caused several serious issues. At one point, I received paperwork with names and details from someone else’s case mixed in with mine. I had to tell her that I did not know these people and this had nothing to do with me. When I called to point out another error after the documents had already been signed, the paralegal snapped at me and said, “Why wasn’t this brought up before we all got together and signed?”—even though the mistake was hers. I trusted them with my case and had back then, zero knowledge of how court cases worked and dealing with many emotional issues, I failed to understand my court order and trusted that they were taking care of me. In the end, it never got corrected. Another detail I want to mention is, this paralegal failed to include a very important detail on my court order, that I’m now having to go back to court to add in, pay for a new lawyer and go through this whole process again. These kinds of errors in family law have long-term consequences. I’m still dealing with the impact of this today. If you are considering using this firm, I strongly urge you to double-check every document if this paralegal is involved. While I understand the attorney was ultimately responsible for finalizing the documents, the paralegal I worked with made repeated errors and treated me dismissively when I tried to raise concerns. That experience shaped how I feel about working with this firm.
