Number 1 Lawywer

Oliver is an outstanding attorney with extensive experience and a proven track record of achieving excellent outcomes for his clients. He goes above and beyond to ensure the best possible results, and I can personally attest to his dedication. Oliver helped me secure joint legal custody after months ...of difficulty in seeing my daughter, demonstrating both his expertise and commitment to his clients' needs. Fluent in Spanish, Oliver is highly accommodating, offering weekend meetings and ensuring prompt and attentive communication through emails. His responsiveness and personalized attention set him apart. Without a doubt, he is the top family attorney in the San Mateo area. In addition to his incredible work, Oliver collaborated seamlessly with my criminal lawyer, Sheila, both of whom provided exceptional representation. They worked together to achieve the best possible outcome, and I couldn't have asked for a better legal team. I will keep both Oliver and Sheila on my contact list, as they are truly the best in their respective fields. I have been thoroughly impressed with both his legal work and the support from his paralegal team. I would not hesitate to rehire Oliver or recommend his services to anyone in need of top-tier1 legal assistance.

Recommend

Oliver has represented me for a few years in a high conflict case with a very wealthy, litigious, bloodthirsty attorney with whom I had two children. The case was dragged on and made endlessly more complicated than it needed to be by the other side, but Oliver has handled the case very well and has s...hown himself to be extremely diligent and competent. He is reliable, reachable, will meet with you on weekends, nights, early mornings- he has devoted his life to his practice and has been unwaveringly encouraging and supportive despite how difficult and blown out of proportion this case has been made. I cannot recommend him enough, and after working with about 6 different family law attorneys, can’t see myself trusting anyone else to handle the case as well as he has.

Oliver , did not overbill me as other firms have. He took my documents and brought himself up to speed. I felt he fought for my kids and my case, We went to Trial and he got me a favorable reasonable result.

Could be a better communicator

Originally, I hired Oliver's assistant. She was very green, inexperienced, and I was not happy with her performance in the courtroom. I have a pretty low income, and I was desperate for help in front of the judge, who really didn't like me and wasn't afraid to say so. Oliver stepped in and has affect...ed my case in a positive way. Oliver is good, though I feel he is slow to return calls and emails. He often seems distracted. This may be a limitation due to my limited scope of representation or that he is busy with other clients and cases. This is the first time I've hired an attorney, so I don't have much to compare to. However, he has given me good advice and he's been appropriately aggressive in court without enraging our very cantankerous judge. I plan to keep Oliver on my case as long as I can afford to do so. I definitely recommend him to others.
