Excellent Family Law Attorney

I appreciate Lori's expertise in family law, as she is a highly knowledgeable and skilled attorney. Over the years, I have sought her opinion on various complex family law matters that have arisen in my practice, and I have consistently found her advice to be invaluable. Lori's deep understanding of ...family law, combined with her tenacity and determination, make her a formidable advocate for her clients. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking assistance with family law issues.

Does not Respond

If you are getting this attorney through the Contra Costa County Bar Association, and are getting this attorney on a cheaper retainer, be aware. At first Ms. Owens was helpful and although, did not give much advise, did say she could help me with my request. As my case progressed, however, she did no...t respond to any of my messages, I had to remind her of my court date, and she did not do half the things she said she would do. During my hearing, I had to remind Ms. Owens of specific details pertinent to my case. If I did not have as much evidence as I had, I doubt the hearing would have gone in my favor. I felt as though Ms. Owens did the absolute bare minimum to help with my case. Needless to say, I still have yet to get the remainder of my retainer and get a response from her. There has been no review of billing for hours spent, and she still has my journal which was used for evidence that she has not returned. All my emails, texts, and voicemails have been very professional and have been prefaced with "I understand you are busy..."

I am sorry you feel this way, however, publishing a public post stating that we did not return your documents minutes after the request for the documents was made, is misleading. As is failing to include that a favorable outcome was obtained on your behalf. Further, the client is normally the one with the evidence; I am not certain how I could possibly be expected to obtain evidence prior to meeting a client. The court is focused on the child’s best interest based on facts and standards under the Family Code. Your belief that you “won your case” with a journal is understandable, as you’re not a legal expert, but it is not factual. No, you did not “remind me” of your hearing date; I had all hearing information in my possession. Clients are not present for the hours and hours we spend on their matter, and rarely understand the process, which is why attorneys are retained. Assuming the “bare minimum” was done to help your case is a baseless allegation; again, you received a favorable outcome, and not based on the evidence you provided. Communications are always answered; our inability to provide instant responses to multiple messages and emails a day is not “unprofessional.” Locating every site to defame us by publishing false information however, is. This review is false and clearly posted for malicious purposes.
