Mediation 30%

A mediator is hired by both parties to help them understand and resolve legal and factual issues relating to the dissolution. An experienced family law attorney acting as mediator can educate the parties about the law and explain the legal procedures which must be followed for a dissolution to occur in California. The mediator is not the attorney for either party. Where appropriate, the mediator will prepare those forms necessary to begin the divorce process and for final judgment of dissolution

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

A recommendation

I am humbled and very grateful that Ms. Tran agreed to represent me. I can truly recommend her to anyone based on my experience with her. I was sinking and drowning with my previous attorney, and Ms. Tran came for the rescue when I found myself in a very difficult and oppressive situation. Ms. T...ran’s first ambition was to secure my rights. She worked diligently in order to be able to reverse the errors made by my previous lawyer. Ms. Tran found what would had been substantial financial losses and a chunk of stocks that belonged to me. She made sure that these were rightfully transferred to me. Ms. Tran knows family law inside and out, as well as stocks and assets, which were a big part of my divorce case. She advised, answered my questions, informed me throughout the process, and explained what should be done in the future. She understood the tax law that applied and displayed excellent judgement concerning important decisions. With Ms. Tran, for the first time, I felt my attorney was really dedicated and was working diligently, was listening to me, protecting me, and was on my side. Her attitude, great communication, honesty, and effectiveness was evident as we were working together. I could seamlessly trust her doing extraordinary job as I witnessed it every time, again, and again during the process. This helped to soften the hardness of my very difficult divorce process due to my previous attorney. Ms. Tran executed my divorce case 4.3 times faster than my previous lawyer. Her answers were very fast, concise, accurate, comprehensive and easy to understand even if the problems were very complex. -Ms. Tran is a rare and an extraordinary lawyer, a joy to work with. T.

A great lawyer to take care of you

I'm grateful to have Rebecca as my lawyer. She was efficient and managed the process flow for me. She provided guidance and firm when needed and encouraged at the same time. She supported me mentally and gave excellent professional services to me. he provided options and listened to my concerns. My d...ivorce ends after ~18 months (with many months in dormant states). Its comforting to be able to trust Rebecca fully throughout this process.

A caring, professional attorney

My case was a long and contentious one. There was no negotiating . There was no mediating. This was a hard fought battle at every turn. Rebecca was committed to this case from the get go. She was caring yet professional. She was always thorough and well prepared. She was systematic and methodi...cal in addressing all the issues. From Property and Investments to Support and Custody. She tackled it all. Rebecca was the Best Attorney to have on my side. I really felt part of her team. And most importantly, she got me a great result! Thank you Rebecca !!!

Caring and attentive

I rated 4 stars because I only had a free consultation. I agreed to pay if go over 30 min, but she did not charge me for overtime. She was warm and attentive that made me relax and comfortable. She takes time and listens. She was caring, engaged and asked crucial questions, that helped me to unders...tand my options. She kindly provided me info that she thought useful, not like many other lawyers who are not willing to give out advises until paid. If you ever worked with a lawyer, you would agree that being bright is far not enough, but a caring heart.

Highly recommended attorney

I would not hesitate to refer anyone to Rebecca who needs Family Law services. I worked with her for about 15 mo. to take care of my divorce. She takes the time to listen to you and cares about you and your situation. She works with you to get what you want. She is upfront with you if what you want... is not feasible, legal, or appropriate. With several others at work also getting divorces I had a good chance to compare attorneys and I'm glad I was working with Rebecca. As a person Rebecca is a delight to work with. She is intelligent, personable all while being very professional. Her rates are extremely reasonable. Unlike other attorneys I have worked with, she does not nickel and dime you to death by charging for every minute she spends on your case. She is also very efficient. If her paralegal does the work then you are billed at their rate. Speaking of paralegals, all of her office staff were very professional in dealing with me and very prompt in returning calls or forwarding needed information. I was also impressed with her partner, Ann Wise, who helped some while Rebecca was away from the office. Do I recommend her? Yes, very highly. Would I use her services again? Very definitely but hope I never have to. :-)
