Kandy Odetta Koliwer

From my own personal opinion and experience Ms. attorney Koliwer did not represent me well during my custody case. I found her knowledge of the law writing response motions to be almost non existent. I asked her several times to present evidence in which she repeatedly declined and was non responsive... during our emails. I would never recommend her to anyone to ever attempt to acquire her legal services. I‘m in the process of gathering the evidence to submit a complaint to the California bar.

Kandy No showed appointments with me. She did not know the facts of my case. She did not present to the court clear and convincing evidence that I provided to her. The day after the judge finally allowed me to get her off of my case, my new attorney got the whole case dismissed and my child returned....

I met Kandy in the halls of vista court. I was completely lost in a nightmare divorce case. Kandy was like a legal guardian sent from up above. One of the hardest working attorneys I met. She’s not only caring but is 100 percent honest and overly fair that will keep both parties honest in requests o...r demands. I hired Kandy as my attorney but she was more like a mom and made me feel I was in good hands. Stuck by for a year and half from start to finish I could ask for anyone better to represent me

I have been caring for my 84 year old Mother with dementia and my 103 year old father with congestive heart failure for years with bare minimum assistance from one of my half siblings. I recently took over as Successor Trustee and Durable Power of Attorney and was given a lot of powers. I had been ...asking my half sister to step up and help me a bit more as the liquid assets were running low and I was trying to prevent having to sell my mother's second condo to pay for her care as it was to eventually be inherited by my half sister. I had been trying to not upset her or damage the little bit of relationship that we had. She refused to give any additional help and I finally told her I would have to sell the second condo. She felt I should sell the condo where my parents and I live or sell everything and put them in a facility to make things fair. Well that was not how my mother wanted things done and that wasn't really fair as In had put my life on hold for years already to provide care in their own home. So my half sister and her full brother and sister came up with a plan to file for Conservatorship and state that I was verbally, physically and financially abusing my mother. I was not abusing anyone. So Kandy Koliwer was to be the lawyer and she immediately saw what was going on. She was amazing! She did a very thorough investigation including speaking to both my parents on two separate occasions. She spoke to social workers and Hospice and found no wrong doing. We had to go to court three times as it was a complex case but she was diligent and she prevailed. If you want someone to fight for you, she's the one to hire. She really cares and fights for what's right. I would absolutely recommend her.
