Morales Law P.C. Santa Barbara Ca review signals at a glance

I hired Marcus about 18 months ago. He was great. Did a good job fighting for me and I finished my divorce with good results. Then I had issues with my ex and had to use Marcus again. Unfortunately it was an awful experience. Over the last few months I was double and triple billed for services I never received. I was expected to pay exuberant costs for his office staff to send me a bills that I would always pay immediately. Marcus said he would file paperwork that never got done and when I called him out on these issues and he said if I’m not happy I should leave. I did leave Marcus and I’m much happier. From my initial review of Marcus I suggested him to everyone giving him at least 3 clients. I had to call each one up and tell them what happened to me and that I was sorry for recommending him. All 3 are having the same issues and have either left Marcus or are leaving Marcus. Also Marcus has another lawyer in the office that does not know anything. I was told he has been a lawyer for a year and he takes way to long on items then you have to also pay Marcus to overlook his work. You will end up paying $950 per hour. Nobody is worth that much money. Look at your invoice if he is your lawyer. If you call Marcus about this he gets angry and stops working for you. If I was to give Marcus advice it would be fire your entire staff and go back to the basics. He knows his job but grew too big too quickly with a staff that is incapable. By the way the other 3 clients that I suggested Marcus to have either fired him or about to fire him.

Marcus Morales did a phenomenal job at representing me and winning my case. He is very professional & knowledgeable. From the very beginning I felt comfort in knowing my case would be handled well. I highly recommend Marcus Morales as your attorney

Several years ago this firm was top notch. Over the past two years I have witnessed serious legal and clerical mistakes resulting in terribly sad outcomes for a number of clients. Therefore, I can no longer recommend the firm as sound and reliable legal counsel.

God is good. We will forever treasure what Atty. Morales and his professional team did for the victory we got. This review will never be enough to express our gratitude. We saved a child’s future. Thank you and God Bless Us All! To God Be the Glory!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marcus and his legal team did an excellent job representing me during my divorce. I recommend Morales Law 100%

Mr. Morales is a answer to our prayers ! He fights for, not only the fathers who want to stay in their children's lives, but he fights for the children to stay in their father's lives!! Thank you so much Mr. Morales and his wonderful staff !!!

Best experience ever. Did a great job and supported me through a very difficult time. I highly recommend Marcus Excellent attorney

Marcus Morales is very professional. He is quick to respond and always keep moving the process forward in order to meet deadlines. I highly recommend his services.

Mr. Morales and his staff were far beyond what I could have imagined as the team on my side. He noted even the slightest details through casual conversation on my case. Built his arguement, presented it before the judge. And after 2 days of trial, the outcome was better than the "best case scenario" I was hoping for. I am beyond grateful for the knowlege and profesionalism of this team. From first cold call to closing the case. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this team.

Marcus Morales and his entire team have been a blessing to our family! I retained Marcus Morales after having a horrible experience with a prior attorney who did nothing on my child custody case for months. Once retaining and switching to Marcus Morales the staff at Morales Law tackled my case immediately and had done so much for my children and I in just days! My family and I feel confident having Marcus Morales by my side in the courtroom he is very knowledgeable, fierce, detail oriented, and sincerely cares for his clients and their families. While Marcus delivers great work each time in the courtroom, his entire staff is just as great working together and tackling all the back end stuff. Communication and organization is top tier. I’m immediately made aware of any changes or updates. With how high conflict my case is, the team is very well organized and does great job of documenting ! Calls or emails are returns within minutes/ same day. It really takes a village, and this village is the one you want on your side! I HIGHLY recommend Marcus Morales!

From the very first phone call that I had with Marcus, I knew that I would be in great hands. After interviewing a handful of attorneys in Santa Barbara to handle my divorce, no one else compared to the level attention and grace he and his team gave from the outset. My case ended up being far more time consuming than anyone would have thought, and there were many times I was counting my blessings that I had Marcus and his team on my side. This process has been one of the most challenging situations that I’ve personally encountered, and the Morales team made it as easy as humanly possible under the circumstances. The moment there was news to share, it was shared with me within minutes. Those going through a divorce know how much those minutes can matter, especially to bring one peace of mind and a restful night’s sleep. Marcus was always available whether it be over the phone, email, or a visit to his office. All communication was handled professionally, transparently, and when appropriate, lightheartedly. The team's attention to detail, willingness to educate me along the way by referencing to cases and specific laws when making a point, and ability to advocate strongly for my case gave me confidence when navigating this uncharted legal territory. The team is made up of amazing listeners and I never had a moment where I felt my thoughts or questions went unheard or unanswered. Marcus, Christina, and all of the others that have helped move my case along - I will be forever thankful!

I am genuinely grateful for Mr. Morales and his team at Morales Law. They have been exceptional in every aspect, consistently exceeding expectations. Mr. Morales' demeanor is thoroughly professional and calm, demonstrating meticulous preparation and a composed approach. Morales Law maintains transparency throughout all communications, ensuring prompt responses to inquiries and concerns from both their team and opposing counsel. Notably, Mr. Morales personally addresses all questions, providing detailed responses and recommendations. Throughout the dissolution of marriage process, Mr. Morales and his team have offered invaluable guidance, alleviating considerable stress and anxiety. I am currently undergoing this process, and thanks to their expertise, I am confident that it will be finalized within five months. If you are in a similar situation I was in, having chosen a lawyer based on positive reviews and proximity, only to experience endless court dates, poor communication, and lack of progress, this is your sign to switch to Morales Law. After witnessing multiple lawyers in action, I can confidently attest that Marcus Morales and his team are exceptional. Their professionalism and dedication are unparalleled, and I highly recommend their services. Since entrusting Mr. Morales with my case, significant progress has been made, securing custody of my children within a month, a stark contrast to the year-long struggle I previously endured. Mr. Morales has demonstrated exceptional expertise, securing my financial assets and navigating the courtroom with confidence. His ability to push cases forward efficiently, without wasting time or resources, has been a game-changer. Mr. Morales has been instrumental in bringing closure to my case, and I am deeply grateful for his assistance. I wholeheartedly endorse Morales Law and welcome inquiries from those seeking exceptional legal representation.
