Awesome Attorney!

Getting straight to the point! Ms. Felsen is an excellent attorney. I am 100% satisfied with her representation. Her offices a walked me through the process and made it easy to understand. She takes pride in her work, very knowledgeable and good at what she does. I would refer her to anyone!

Fraud, acceptance of funds in full, no representation at all

Our son received a DUI and immediately received post cards and flyers in his mailbox. Received one advertising A. Marie Felson, with Ralph Martinez as her paralegal. Upon contact, immediately a payment plan for a total of $1495 (paid by us) was set up and Faxed to a number that appears no where in ...these websites (did not realize) Payments taken and paid in full. very little correspondence and always "do not come to court. I will take care of it" Many contact #s that do not match up. Phone contact with very sketchy suggestions, and very vulgar language!! A woman's voice posing as Ms. Felson sounded very unsure. Long story short.......no one showed up for court and my son went! Thank goodness, or a warrant for his arrest would have been issued. There is something very wrong about all of this. I have been in courtrooms numerous times in my life, and this was bizarre. Perhaps someone is scaming and posing as Ms. Felson?????? Perhaps Mr. Ralph Martinez works with her right under her nose!!! Absolutely a nightmare!!!! I have dealt with law offices three times, and there was always communication and face to face encounters. I want this review to be read, but am fearful if Mr. Martinez sees this. Conversations with him were very demanding and unpleasant. He claims to be her case manager. ????

Scam

Be aware! This lawyer was hired to represent my brother in a DUI charge and gladly took his money! However no representation and a no show in court! Ralph Martinez and another girl pretending to be this lawyer are SCAMMERS! Between the phone calls and text messages and the language used, these peopl...e are not professionals!

Best custody attorney in SoCal!

Aniko really came through for me! I highly recommend her. She really fought for me in court, and helped resolve a tough custody battle for me. I could not be happier! Not only did she come through for me, but she was also great with communicating with me throughout the whole process.

My DUI case in Ontario CA

She is the worse Lawyer Ever. It doesnt get worse than her as a lawyer. First she is never availlable. She always have her husband answer the phone for her. and by the way he is very unprofessional. I only really met with her to discuss the case 30min before the arraignment in court. You know the... only think she told me??? For you case when the judge will ask you just say "i plead guilty ". she told me that if I don't I will have to pay her $3000 on top of the $2000 already paid if I want to go to triad. Like I said Aniko Hoover is the worse lawyer ever.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
