Inexperienced, Weak, and Doesn't Really Know Family Law

I was blindsided by a divorce filing and in my haste and despair, decided to use my company's legal insurance to find an attorney. After a few phone calls, I was funneled to Naomi - shortly thereafter, the nightmare began. Despite what I was lead to believe in our initial conversations, Naomi turn...ed out to be extraordinarily feeble, disorganized, and inexperienced. Despite charging an hourly rate that would be appropriate for a hot-shot attorney, she managed to lose every negotiation with opposing counsel before we even filed a response. After the first few losses when negotiating visitation, she suddenly became increasingly harder to reach. Calls would go unanswered and emails unreturned. She waited, literally, until the day before a response was legally required before she scheduled a time to discuss my case. Inexplicably, during that conversation, she proposed that in our response we should "not be too aggressive" since, in her words, "judges don't like that". When I confronted her about her poor performance, she immediately became defensive and suggested that I find another attorney. On the bright side, because I had already gotten numb to the high hourly rate, I didn't hesitate to discharge her when I found a real ace attorney at the same price. And when I say ace, I mean like TV attorney courtroom drama good. For the same hourly rate this new firm had a staff and multiple attorneys; every phone call was answered by a receptionist, and email were timely answered. My new attorney quickly reversed Naomi's stumbles and fumbles into quick victories. It's simple: If you value your family or your money, find someone else.

Intelligent and compassionate attorney

Naomi was an absolute "godsend" for me. I found her through my jobs employee assistance program (EAP). I explained the precarious situation I was in with respect to filing for divorce and during our phone consultation, she provided me with excellent advice. She is extremely knowledgable of Califor...nia law and at least 15 minutes into our conversation, I knew I wanted to hire her immediately. She is the person who I want in the courtroom on my side. I'd never want to be across the aisle from her. She is as aggressive and assertive in the control room as anyone I'd seen and she is extremely perceptive. She's quite aware of all that's going on at the courtroom at all time. Divorce is difficult and Naomi is extremely compassionate and sensitive with her clients and our needs. She is always available and goes above and beyond. If you're looking for someone who will protect you and your family and who will make sure all bases are covered, than Naomi is the attorney you want to hire!

Experienced and compassionate


Naomi was my attorney for my matter.During the course of my divorce, Naomi provided outstanding legal guidance as well as ensuring that my legal cost were efficiently managed for me throughout the process. She was also very responsive via e mail and phone whenever I had questions and compassionate w...hen I was stressed. It was reassuring to know that Naomi took my predicament seriously and made every effort to resolve what had been a long ordeal. With Naomi's dedication, I was finally able to focus on my son and family.

Extremely Thoughtful and Knowledgeable

Naomi was a lifesaver for me and my husband. Working through custody and child support issues with my husband's ex-wife was not going well. Naomi was extremely well-prepared for our initial meeting, familiarizing herself with existing documentation and our case, she quickly took action and produced... the necessary paperwork we needed. She gave us advice on how to present our case, and because we had all the paperwork and information we needed to make our case, our custody and child support issues were resolved within 2 weeks. Naomi was always professional, extremely sensitive to our case, listened carefully to what we needed, and followed through in a very timely and efficient manner. My husband and I were supremely relieved at how thoughtful and knowledgeable she is. She was an extremely valuable asset to us during a court process that was unfamiliar and confusing to us.
