Nice guy, not very good attention to detail.

I received mostly unhelpful service from Mr Les Paredes and the Law Offices of Stephen D Hamilton in my divorce and child custody case. My case was very complex. Your experience may vary. Mr Les Paredes is a very nice guy. I think this law firm may be better at servicing simple, straightforward... legal cases that require less attention to detail or effort in order to achieve justice. I needed robust service from an attorney who genuinely deeply cared about achieving justice for my children and myself. It was very clear Attorney Paredes decided I wasn't a priority for him, potentially because - "the System" - has loopholes and flaws that were unjustly utilized against my children and their needs by my ex-spouse from the start. I believe achieving justice for my children was more work than it would have been worth for this firm. So, my children and I were deemed a waste of time and were neglected. I don't blame Mr Paredes for the systemic flaws in civil law. I think Mr Paredes is a good guy, and -- for the most part -- civil law failed to achieve justice for me and my children due to systemic shortcomings in civil law. However, I think Mr Paredes and the staff at The Law Offices at Stephen D. Hamilton don't put in much effort for their clients. So, if you need a lot of effort from your attorney, you will likely be better served by another law firm.

Exceptional Family Law Attorney

I cannot recommend Les highly enough! He represented me during a critical phase of my family law case, and his expertise and dedication were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. Les was not only knowledgeable and professional but also compassionate and genuinely invested in my case. Than...ks to the strong foundation he laid, I successfully navigated a lengthy litigation process and ultimately secured everything I wanted and more. His attention to detail and strategic approach made all the difference. If you are looking for an attorney who will fight for you and set you up for long-term success, Les is the one to call. I’m forever grateful for his guidance and highly recommend his services to anyone needing representation in family law matters.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Mr. Parades is an excellent criminal defense attorney. Period. I have had the opportunity to work with him on a matter outside of my own practice jurisdiction and he showed himself to be incredibly thoughtful and a total professional. He spotted issues that most attorneys would ignore and creatively articulated them to the court and opposing counsel. I would endorse him without reservation and would urge any fellow attorney to refer any criminal matters to his firm."
