Going through a step-parent adoption is always a hard process and we didn’t know what to expect in general or how to begin with the process. When we talked to Lilian she explained everything in detail and every part of the process she made it so simple and smooth for us. She’s sharp, empathetic, and her expertise and kindness made my husband and me feel at ease in every step of the process. We’re so thankful for her support.
My experience with Family Law was spectacular and really reassuring. I reached out so they could take on my child custody case, I didn’t know how to proceed or what to do but all of the team made me feel confident with their expertise, empathy and approach. I’d highly recommend her to anyone going through a family issue similar to this.
I needed help with a modification of judgment for my custody arrangement, and Family Law was amazing! They all were thorough, and understanding, and helped me get a fair resolution for my family.
To be honest, when I started looking for a lawyer for my alimony case I was hesitant on how to proceed without being such a mess and try to end things easily. I am very thankful to have landed with Lilian, she always kept me informed and guided me through every step and most of all she made me feel understood. I’ll forever be thankful for her support.
I met Lilian when I was looking for someone that could handle my grandparents’ right case. Since day one she always keeping our family’s best interests in mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer!
You will need an attorney to protect you from this attorney. Lilian filed a retaliatory lawsuit against me merely for questioning her inflated $29,233 bill for just two months of minimal work. Shockingly, charging me $400 per hour, even for work done by her assistant. The information detailed in this review can be verified through court records and documentation. Lilian was my fourth attorney, failed to provide discovery requests on time. Lilian kept on harassing me for a whole months and misrepresented the judge's order forcing me to reply with no objections, which made opposing party improperly use the information against me. She repeatedly prioritized her own financial interests before my case. She is incredibly abrasive and unethical, she was fighting me rather than fighting for me. Against my objections, she went ahead and told the judge that we will settle, coerced me into an unwanted settlement solely to find a way to get paid her inflated fees, then charged me for the long waited hours in court.When I refused, to sign the settlement, she remained silent at the hearing, failing to counter false claims about my income despite having evidence. The resulting court order was financially disastrous for me. Yet Lilian, rather than showing any regret for her lack of advocacy contributing to this outcome, saw an opportunity to victimize me further. She filed a lawsuit against me. Three days before the hearing, she ignored my several follow up emails urging her to file the response I emailed her to opposing party’s declaration, I was uncertain whether she would even appear at the hearing, that I reached out to my previous attorney to represent me at the hearing. The positive reviews appear to be deceiving. I wouldn't wish Lilian's unethical, abrasive bullying on anyone. I would strongly caution against hiring her.
Reply to the response:The Lilian portrayed in my review reflects the actual service and behavior clients may encounter, which differs significantly from claims made elsewhere. I stand by every statement in this review as an accurate account of my experience with Lilian. The judgment in question was obtained when I lacked proper legal representation, not due to any legitimate claim for legal fees. This situation arose as a direct result of the mishandling of my case in its earlier stages. Her inadequate representation directly contributed to my current financial struggles. This review is not defamation, but a factual description of events that severely impacted my life. I urge potential clients to carefully consider their representation and verify any claims independently.
Lilian's representation caused substantial damage to my case without any positive outcomes. Yet, she's pursued legal action against me for three years. I strongly question her justification for any compensation or claims. This alone speaks volumes about the real Lilian clients may encounter.
Owner response
This former client created conflicts of interests, and failed to comply with court orders. There was a judgment against her to pay my attorney fees which she refused to pay. Due to the fact that the judge ordered her to pay my attorney fees, she made defamatory false statements against me.
Failure to pay his attorney fees does not mean he was robbed, and is actually the opposite. His failure to cooperate resulted in his own negative result. His statement is defamatory and ludicrous.
