Bernal Peter Ojeda

By that time, the judge was calling his name at my court hearing which he was not initially there for. When he did show up later in the afternoon, he was reprimanded by the judge for being late and the incomplete and sad state of the paperwork that had been filed. I lost my temper with his office af...ter countless failed attempts to get anything done on my case. He then filed paperwork to have himself removed from my case and said I was unreasonable. I have a simple uncontested divorce with no real property to divide and my husband didnt even respond to the paperwork. Coming up on a year and his office said they would prepare the document for my husband and I to sign and I wouldnt have to pay the $2000 I still owed him. That was a reasonable resolution. I waited for weeks for the document to sign. Promised over and over again. Last minute, he wont give me the document until I pay $2000. Now he is holding my case hostage. I am on disability. In the last year, I have been hemorrhaging money which could have gone to pay Mr. Ojeda had he done something. I will update my review if anything changes. As of now, Mr. Ojeda still takes people's money and fails to represent them, return calls, emails, text messages or even answer a question through his paralegal. He will have to answer once again to the State Bar.

I have been utilizing Mr. Ojeda's services since 2014 for both my custody and child support cases. I recently finalized a complicated child support case that had been severely affecting my living expenses for years due to the huge garnishment. It took a lot of patience, time, and caused a great deal ...of anxiety. I felt like the other parent was living a luxurious lifestyle with my money that I worked hard for, including my overtime. Mr. Ojeda was able to reduce all of my child support, including the back support to a total $0.00!!! He did this all during this pandemic and with me not having to show up to his office for the court hearing call. I understand Mr. Ojeda takes on a lot of cases which can sometimes make it difficult to get a quick response from him. At the same time, he will get back to you and give you his full attention as your case gets closer to the hearing date. Overall, based on my experience working with Mr. Ojeda for over 6 years, he is professional, polite, and always thinks about the bigger picture in every scenario. He is not the type of attorney that will be aggressive asking for a huge retainer or consultation fee but instead, will try to work within your budget. Many thanks for your support and service - we'll definitely be in touch again soon!

Let’s start off with this ridiculous star system. This attorney does not deserve a single star. He is the worst, unprofessional attorney on the face of this earth. I wasted my time and money on this person. Not only was it a waste of time and money but he made things even more difficult for me in cou...rt because he wasn’t able to file the documents correctly on my behalf. I probably could’ve represented myself a lot better than what he did for me. He would schedule me to be in court and never show up. He setup a meeting at his office and wouldn’t even bother to tell he that he wasn’t showing up. The way he expressed himself about my ex husband was uncalled for. I mean, I hate my ex but why did MR. OJEDA? When I asked for an explanation about why he never showed up to our meetings he ended up mad at me instead of apologizing for he did. He said “ if you think I’m unprofessional then find someone else” So that’s exactly what I did. My Biggest mistake was not checking for reviews about his services. If I would’ve checked to see that his license was Suspended in 2010 I wouldn’t have hired him.

Bernal does a fairly decent job in court but because of his cheaper retainers, he TENDS to cut a lot of corners with paperwork. He is also often hard to reach and sometimes unprofessional/borderline rude in his communications. I had to let him go after he decided to change his fees on me just days be...fore a key hearing. I am glad I did. The new lawyer was top notch, though a bit more expensive. You get what you pay for.
