Bernal Peter Ojeda

The attorney’s response was quick. He offered me a free consultation within the time frame, I requested, and he reached out to me in a timely manner. He went over the details which I was missing in my trial. His knowledge about my specific matter was accurate. Attorney Ojeda advised me on how to bes...t prepare for my trial during the short time period. Attorney Ojeda explained the timeline of a typical traffic trial. I was amazed at his conscientiousness and meeting with attorney Ojeda helped me to overcome the wounds of a very recent racial harassment faced during a paid lawyer office meeting. Attorney Ojeda made me feel that all clients regardless of race or religion deserve basic rights. He is kind and patient to every client who lacks knowledge in regards to their legal matter. Attorney Ojeda is extremely trustworthy. He also sent me a reference to cite for my trial. I highly appreciated his generous time and professionalism for my free consultation.

Lawyer decided to unilaterally change the terms of our agreement we had reached about retainer renewal fee just weeks before trial. We had planned weeks before to meet three times to go over stuff and three times they were cancelled with no apologies, until the meeting we were supposed to have was ev...entually cancelled altogether. Instead, I was asked to speak to paralegals. Had to hire a new lawyer. Glad I did.

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.

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.
