Posted by Paul | February 18, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Lawsuits & Disputes

Avoid this law firm at all costs.

They are the most incompetent and unprofessional legal team in the valley. If you value your case, do not entrust it to this firm—you will likely see it handed off to an inexperienced junior counsel who lacks the necessary skills. Worse still, they will push you to settle or change strategy at the la...st minute, often to the detriment of your case. One particularly frustrating experience was with Johan. After spending hours preparing for a hearing with him just days before, he showed up to court unprepared. Throughout the three-hour session, his primary response was “I don’t know” nearly 90% of the time. He couldn’t recall how his exhibits were labeled or their order, and there was zero strategy, zero preparation, and zero competence. If that wasn’t bad enough, they made a last-minute strategy change during the trial after we'd spent hours of billable time preparing for an entirely different approach. These abrupt shifts only made it easier for opposing counsel to win at trial. This firm is an absolute disaster—unprofessional, unprepared, and a complete waste of time and money. I regret ever accepting their apology when I initially raised concerns about their lack of competence. I should have trusted my guts and changed counsel. If you value your time, money, and legal outcome, stay far away.

We hired Regan to help us with an adoption. Her professionalism and experience combined to make this very important endeavor seamless. Her interest in our family and the guidance she gave us as we navigated the legal system was truly beyond our expectations. 100% recommended!!

She is Amazing

Regan is an excellent Lawyer! She helped me with custody and child support for my daughter! She is very professional and sweet! I will definitely be using her again if needed!

Great Lawyer

Regan is incredibly professional and easy to work with. I enjoyed her on a child support issue I needed help with. She was fantastic and supportive throughout. We were able to settle the case without going to court.
