Denise R Perelli-Minetti

Denise I'm coming for you, you took my hard-earned money AND did nothing with my Divorce case, then split to SoCal. Your doing nothing hurt my case, you put me in a bad situation with the Martinez Court. What a scam you're running. you said you had Covid after you ghosted me for 90 days. FIN...E, then Zelle me my $3200. You asked for more money, then removed yourself from my case without consulting me on the very next day. Shame on you!!!

My ex filed an emergency ex parte order which the court holds hearings on pretty fast. He also requested child support. I was so lost in the process as things happened suddenly and had no representation during the first two hearings. I was lost as to what was happening or why it was happening. I r...equested a consult with Denise who called me back. I'd spoken with a few attorneys before getting to Denise, none of which gave me the time of day other than to say they worked in family law and what their rates were. During our consult, she took her time to explain (although I'd already been to court twice) what was happening, ask me me questions to ensure she understood specifics related to my case, and then explained what defenses we could present and what the process would be moving forward all before I paid her a dime. She was honest in that this may not be a fast process, transparent, and most importantly (especially as I have never had to deal with family court before) sympathetic. Although we are still in court, she has been able to get some pretty nice wins - legal rights such as educational and medical access, ex was interfering with my ability to communicate with our child. Denise was able to argue this and have judge order him to purchase her a cellphone so I could communicate with her directly. ALL of this was done in her 1st court appearance on my behalf! She calls prior to court hearings to make sure we are on same page with strategy, what may possibly happen/what to expect and what we're going after during the hearing. She also calls to debrief after court hearing with next steps. Denise representing me has given me hope where it felt hopeless before and helped me to understand more about the process where I had zero understanding and knowledge.

I was representing myself for a post judgement issue concerning child support arrears and child support modification. My ex was very difficult and I realized that I needed professional help. I am so glad that I was able to find Denise. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, responsive, and professional.... She explained everything clearly and came up with strategies. Her rates are very reasonable and she gives results quick! She argued eloquently in court. My ex was not paying child support and was trying to reduce the existing child support. With Denise's help I was able to collect full child support arrears. In addition, the child support amount more than doubled! I am beyond happy with her service. Highly recommended!

Denise is professional and compassionate about what she does. She helped my son and I with school issues, and not only explained how the school works to me, and guided us to success, but also has guided the school in clarifying laws around disabilities and 504 plans. Happy to be a reference and wou...ld recommend Denise for your school issues.

We were in a very hardship situation since early September due to the dispute with school district. We were forced to hire an attorney and luckily ARAG recommended the local attorney Denise Perelli-Minetti to us. She is very nice and professional. She has very good patience to listen to our long stor...y and review all the documents we provided. She directed us what to do step by step. What's the most important thing is she quickly grasped the key point in order to deal with the school district. She helped us to win back the right to go back to the public school and we are more than happy with the result we were trying hard to get. Beyond that, she also reminded us again and again what else we need to do besides to deal with school district. Based on her experience, she taught us how to get extra support from Regional Center and etc.. which is far beyond the legal case. We highly recommend Attorney Denise Perelli-Minetti. We will definitely work together with her if there is any other legal issue we have to seek help. All our whole family will sincerely thank you very much!
