Doesn’t not show up in court/ never available

All my paperwork were done all ready. All I needed Thompson was to be their and speak on my behalf. The worst lawyer!! He never showed up in court keeps on asking for continuous. The only paperwork he and his paralegal Adriana Duenez did was copy some of my old court paperwork that was filed and sti...ll managed to screw that up. Adriana can’t spell. There’s autocorrect spelling how can you mess that up? Thompson is quick to promise results but never delivers. The only quick thing he ever did was to take my payments. DO NOT HIRE THIS LAWYER HE IS A JOKE SO IS ADRIANA DUENEZ. The only 5 stars he gets is from his employees.

Paid Him To Make My Case Worse

I hired Mr. Thompson November 2019 to help with fighting a DVRO that was filed without my knowledge. This RO was so that my ex could pack up our house with all my things I had before him, and our 4 yo daughter and move to Visalia. This was June 25 2019. To this day, Mr. Thompson still has not been ab...le to process a simple DVRO against my ex. This last time in court, I was made a fool. He didn't show, not only that, but he led me to believe my ex had been served, and that a prior mediation appt had been cancelled. The truth was, my ex still hasn't been served, and I missed a mediation appt because he told me it was cancelled. I would've been so much better off on my own, instead, essentially I paid him to make my case even worse. Speaking of restraining orders, I'm already done filling it out, now I just send it in and wait for it to be signed. Then serve him. Boom. Done. He is worthless. Not sure how he can even practice law. But he needs to stop being a villain like the ones he is advocating he is against. Do not hire him. You will regret it.

Reliable Attorney

I don't regret hiring Mr. Thompson for my case. His service is invaluable in a time when the likelihood of getting a favorable resolution to my case was almost impossible. He is very straightforward and sorted out things in just a few meetings. This guy is trustworthy and worth your money. His staff ...are great and organized too. They always informed me of everything regarding my case. Will surely hire him again.

Run!! Do Not Hire !

Very dishonest , unprofessional and incompetent lawyer. Kept making continuances on my case and making false promises about my case. Drug my case out for months on end. Clearly does not care about his clients. Spent thousands and got zero results. Highly disorganized and rude staff as well.... Please do yourself a favor and do not use this Attorney.
