Family Law Group, Inc.

I was represented by Family Law Group, Inc. from June through December 2024 and paid approximately $84,698 in legal fees during that seven-month period. When the representation ended, my family law case remained active and significant litigation was still ahead. I ultimately had to continue the case on my own. Due to concerns regarding the fees charged and the representation I received, I pursued the State Bar of California's Mandatory Fee Arbitration process. That proceeding resulted in a partial refund of fees. One aspect of my experience deserves special mention. After my attorney-client relationship with the firm had already ended, I filed complaints with the State Bar concerning issues that arose during my representation. At that point, I was no longer a client of the firm. After those complaints were filed, I received additional invoices totaling more than $20,000. Those invoices included billing entries described as responses to State Bar complaints initiated by me and work related to fee arbitration initiated by me. Those charges were later withdrawn and removed from my account. My concerns regarding this representation extended beyond fee arbitration. I have also pursued disciplinary complaints through the State Bar process, and related matters remain ongoing. Based on my personal experience, I do not believe the representation I received justified the amount of fees I paid. My experience ultimately led to State Bar fee arbitration, a partial refund of fees, State Bar complaints, and the need to continue my litigation without counsel. Prospective clients should carefully review billing statements, maintain complete records of communications and documents, and closely monitor the progress of their case throughout the representation. This review reflects my personal experience and my understanding of the proceedings related to my representation.

I worked with 2 different attorneys here and 2 different paralegals. One attorney was helpful in many ways in my DVRO case. However he led me to his trusted colleague for dissolution, but that person was not a good fit for my dissolution, and didn’t listen to my concerns. As for support staff, one paralegal spoke in a condescending tone with me. One paralegal was professional. The receptionist was kind. This firm charged me $66,547.15 During the 7 months they represented me, I lost many rights in my case. The case is not over yet.

I recently completed an out of state process service for this firm and was surprised by just how much they care about their clients. The team genuinely goes the extra mile, cares about the kids involved, and it's refreshing to experience a legal team with a heartfelt interest in their case. Thanks for the work, Tiffany! I hope this one works out for all involved, your clients are lucky to have you on their case.
