20 Best Paralegal Programs In Fresno, CA (2022 Updated)

Oh my gosh, where to begin. The amount of involvement the faculty and student body have for their students is outstanding. CAPS counselors are there, attentive to your needs, and a great resource for other resources within the university. The health center and CAPS both take great care of their students by follow up phone calls and emails to remind you of your next appointment. Miss an appointment? Expect 5 phone calls, a few emails, possibly even a text message, lol. Faculty, unlike other UC professors who only care about research, give time to their students. Yes, attendance is a huge in this school, again unlike other UCs. As far as school work theme, be prepared for quizzes, in class participation, attendance, take home assignments, online at home participation, and exams. Yes, this school is a comprehensive institution, aimed at achieving and producing the top of the line students. Don’t take the age of this school or it’s high acceptance rate to be any indicator of this schools merit. Go bobcats! Ps. Not to mention the small class sizes. Gives a private school feel.Reuben Hernandez

I am the father of a new student, I am truly disappointed in the campus, my son is an intern in one of its buildings and with these record temperatures and inefficient air conditioning he has spent 2 weeks of hell inside his bedroom at more than 90 °, how can someone have a normal day, if you have days without sleeping? We had to buy a small portable air conditioner because there is still no solution and the only thing he received from the building coordinator was a threat, that he has to remove the air conditioner or they will come in to remove it, like you can be so unhuman in the face of the basic needs that a student has under the roof of his university, truly a disappointment.Clau Martínez

This university has the best food of any university I have visited. I am an AVID Student, we got a tour, and our guide Donald was AMAZING! The food was ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING! I am very highly to go to this school when I go to college.Jon Videogeek

The staff is very helpful from enrolling to making sure you have everything you need for class. MTI has some of the best teachers around! Every teacher I’ve had so far has been super helpful and understanding and go above and beyond to explain every step of the way so you don’t feel lost. They’re very hands on and invested in every student’s success. When I first came in I felt overwhelmed as to how things would be like but they were all very reassuring. As long as you come to class and pay attention and ask questions there’s no way you can fail!Titus Tinch

BY FAR THE BEST INSTITUTION I HAVE EVER INVESTED MY TIME & ENERGY IN! The moment you walk in for a consultation, the staff will greet you with a smile & positive energy. They are very organized and have great communication skills. If you are lost and need further assistance, the instructors and staff will be there for you. You can most definitely count on them! This is not just a school, this is a community. Much love to ya'll, keep up the good work!Balla Diarra

It is my third week and so far the in person classes have been extremely helpful. I love the campus and staff are extremely friendly. They will go over anything if you don't understand it, even if it is your 4th or 5th time asking. The availability of the teachers ranges according to their own schedule. There are Multiple teachers and instructors to help you out.Richard Saelee

I've been attending FCC since summer of 2016 and will graduate, god willing, this spring 2019. Full time, year round, no breaks. Although parking requires at least an hour grace period, I believe the over all experience is what you make it. I've come across rude people maybe having a bad day and I've had instructors I could not relate to. Its all very frustrating. Its sad to say the success rate at this college is 17%. But, then again this is an adult school. Nobodies going to call your house when your absent or hold a parent-teacher conference when your not doing your work. I am working on a Human Service degree and have enjoyed the ups and downs of my classes. The load was a little heavier in a few and I had to buckle down and utilize the tutorial, ETC, PASS, Computer lab and all other resources available. In all the those places I found the staff and student help extremely eager to be of service. The assistance was much appreciated. Honestly, I don't think I could of got through math without it!Philip Tristan

I am not speaking for this business itself, merely the college district's education quality. I have taken classes at Fresno, Clovis, and Reedley Community College, and I have had an absolutely deplorable time. I don't feel like I'm getting anything from the classes; I don't feel the staff is prepared to teach online, if at all. If you are going to teach college-level English, you should not make punctuation and grammatical errors consistently. If you are teaching a law class, you should not do it from inherent bias and perspective. If you are conducting an online course, you should not have to hold up a piece of paper because you don't know how to make a slide. An absolute and utter waste of my time and money, I am so glad I got the nerve to go back to school; now I will find somewhere to teach me, educate me, and get me further in life.Mercedes Scott

Good college for students to get their AA degrees and this college has cheap tuition. Professors and management are also good and you can also transfer to a university after 2 years. It is said that Fresno City College is the first Community College in California. Registration to classes is simple and online, and they offer all kind of classes. It is better if you choose Nursing as a career because it pays off well. Check it out your self.boss Bhai

Overall, an okay community college experience so far from 2019 to 2022 (I took some summers off). The registration process for me was a nightmare. OpenCC upon some of the other processes were buggy, nonfunctional, or unclear. Despite this, I have to give them slack as when I was applying they were revamping their websites significantly. There's a mixed bag of good and bad staff. Some professors will be insanely rude, not understanding, and sometimes not even lecture properly on the topic at hand. Other professors will be really kind, understanding, and actively willing to work with you. Always look up the professor on Rate My Professor!!! Eservices, Canvas, and Counseling are atrocious. Eservices has been buggy at times or down for multiple hours. Canvas is usually a decent online learning tool, but sometimes it can get buggy and is not always accessibility friendly (as seen by not having a dark mode for example). I recall a time when Canvas was down due to the host servers, which are owned by Amazon, were completely offline. Counseling is not always helpful in guiding you to where to go next, will sometimes not even answer calls nor emails, and can get really busy (even with the switch from the old building to the Welcome and Support Center). I suggest looking up some information yourself on ARCs website first before talking to counselors, such as course catalogs or what classes you might take for a specific associates degree. I wish that counseling would still give out PHYSICAL course catalogs, but it is what it is. Finance is usually okay for parking passes, but other services is like pulling teeth. Communication on what is going on campus varies from good to poor. An example of this is when the pandemic began around midterms and there was the report of two people being exposed to Covid on campus, which caused mass panic and multiple people just walking out of class. Parking can sometimes be an issue, so be prepared to walk a little bit. Also, you will need a parking pass from a kiosk or buy a parking pass permit for the semester. Bathrooms could use some work. I recall a time where after flushing the bathroom started to flood. Food choices were fairly solid. If you were going to Starbucks or Subway during lunch, lines would get long. Only food offered on campus now is either from the student store, the cafeteria, the Oak Cafe, or the few vending machines on campus. Off campus, there's quite a few food places around, such as Lis Mongolian BBQ, Chik Fil A, and In-N-Out. The bookstore has been unorganized in the past, but is relatively chilled back and clean nowadays. Be warned that some things will be overpriced, but that's normal for college. Also, don't be shocked if there's a hassle with ordered books or book returns for refunds.Emily “Emma Anne” Branecki

It's almost like 90% of the people who work here will be rude over the phone and tell you to do everything online. They have messed up most of my paperwork, resulting in me having to resubmit residency forms, application forms, proof of ID. Somehow they put me as out-of-state which includes a 900% markup per credit. I went from expecting a $150 bill for a single class and ended up with a $1200 bill. No one wants to help sort it out. No one wants to answer the phone. The website is difficult to navigate. Honestly, I have had a single positive experience with one person in Admissions, and everyone else has been pushy, rude, dismissive, and argumentative. I am considering switching to literally any other school in the district. My partner attends SCC and it's laughable how smoothly they handled his transition back to school, compared to mine. Edit: it should also be noted that I had applied to ARC 4 times since 2013 and never received a welcome letter. I had emailed asking why I applied and was not told anything, or emailed, called – nothing. I got no response. Called last month because I was at my wits end and I am told "I can't give you a student ID number because your application was DENIED." I asked why and she told me she couldnt tell me. I asked for a supervisor who immediately told me "we have the wrong SSN for you, so none of your applications were accepted because it didn't watch our records." My CORRECT SSN, was being rejected. In 8 YEARS NO ONE EVER TOLD ME THIS. Just like they didn't tell me I was listed as out of state, despite submitting residency information multiple times. This school is a JOKEI Illyria

The college is great..,.. the bookstore however is 1 star at best. The school district sub-contracted it out and the new facilitators understand that they have a built in market from people having to use their financial aid or other assorted vouchers from various Govt entities and as a result they practice poor customer service utilizing people that are quite adept at rapid fire litanies telling you why none of the delays or shortages are their concern or problem. In fact in my opinion 90% of their employees that deal with the public are nothing more than thugs and bully's. They take no responsibility for faulty instructions in how to use the new book site with vouchers and tell you that they are "saaaawrrrrry" when they tell you they can't locate your books and give you a date when they will be in. Once again, in my opinion, they are nothing more than petty tyrants and bullies that should have their contract terminated for lack of accountability on their part. The layout has changed,alot of the const of the past couple of years is finished. Check updated maps of Campus on Google 😎Greg Spittler

If anyone is looking into the medical assistant field please do yourself a favor and look at the pay rate and how much it costs to attend this horrible program. Program costs about 30k and MA barely make that yearly, you can go to a community college for about the same time and get paid to go. I cannot wait for SJVC to get sued for taking advantage of vulnerable people, giving false promises to students of a career in medical assistant, you will not be able to live on that type of low income. You have a better opportunity making more money at Target, most of my credits did not transfer even though I was told they would so I wasted my time. I had to retake most of my classes which I did in about the same time as I was at sjvc and will be applying to the nursing program. This is a horrible schoolJammy Jam

An amazing institution Went here as a student from Feb 2019 until graduation Oct 2019. I was enrolled in the front office medical admin program. 7 months and upon graduation, I passed and got nationally certified for billing/coding. My teacher Ms.Hernandez was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. The school and its staff went above and beyond for me (I was unemployed at the time) and now I am employed and have actual hope for my future. It taught me a variety of skills that applied in many jobs for medical assistants. The bad? It won't teach you everything. It won't get you a Masters Degree and a six figure job. But that's not the point of this trade School. It's a start, a path to better prospects. It's made good on that so far =)Vince M

I had previously been accepted to a university, having experience payment issues (that school was wicked expensive) I found SJVC, they help me make a smooth transition from the other school to there and my time there was amazing. Meeting different people from different programs and other people who just didn't want the traditional school experience. I went for my certificate MOA program (took 7 months of class time and 2 months of externship time). Loved my teacher and classmates and learning was easy and I understood all the lessons. I even got on the dean's list after getting my certificate. My career counselor even helped me find my full time job. Have nothing but good to say about this school and mostly my teacher.Jessica Hamilton

Empire College is not about educating its students. I had one instructor that spent more then three quarters of the class time holding the students as a captive audience, while he talked on and on about his family. Instead covering material and moving forward to respect the adult students working their way through college, they required us to stay, even if there was no more material to learn. I had no warning of this because I was hard-sold by the used-car-salesman style counselors they employ. They must work on commission because I was lied to about both how my credits from the JC would transfer (they wouldn't because then they couldn't charge me for more classes) and what billing would look like. Billing was even more deceptive, I learned upon finishing and exiting. This school is a business first. Its expensive, and the classes are easy. If you have plenty of money and want to buy an easy A, go here…but, if you are looking to learn and apply what you have learned to a career, my suggestion would be to look elsewhere.Rose M

if you are lazy, or if you want to go to a school that doesnt give you any kind of accredited degree or credits this is the lazy hangout do nothing and get buy with a decent grade kinda place. Like many private schools, its overpriced, lacks services, lacks compassion for there students and the only people that care are a few of the teachers. The teachers are decent people except the fact 99% of them are not certified by the state of California to teach at the college level.. sad again i stress the facts, not regionally accredited which means u cannot transfer to any school worth going to there are only 3 schools in California that except there " nationally accredited credits " I also want to point out the majority of the students are going there to become a nurse. I've attended 3 colleges and this college tops the list of drugged out students, the parking lot reeks of marijuana. go to the jc and get a degree not a pointless certificate that means nothing to an employer..Clark Rector

Before Empire I had graduated with a BS from a four year college. I decided to go back to school to obtain some other skills after graduating because the job market was so bad. Empire College was not the solution. As an experienced college student, Empire College is NOT like a four year college. The classes are sub-par, very easy to pass and not challenging. It is also incredibly expensive. After finishing with Empire I managed to find myself MY OWN job without their help. Now they're trying to make it look like they got me that job, and not only that they contacted my employer without my permission. Overall I am incredibly unhappy with the experience and wish I have never gone there. Simply more student loans I must pay back.Annette Dana

Attorney Daniel Carter is my lawyer who saved me from another lawyer that was very incompetent. When my case was transferred to Attorney Daniel Carter, I met him personally and explained to me the process and possible outcome. Then I felt I am in good hands with his help. Attorney Daniel Carter is very passionate in his job, smart and he knows how to defend his clients. I noticed that his main goal is to decide what is best for his clients. For me, respect , trust, and communication are very important factors to succeed and win the case. Attorney Daniel Carter has all these traits. I am so blessed that my case was transferred to him. Attorney Daniel Carter is very professional with high integrity.Lolita Esnaola

Daniel took over my case when issues came up with my first attorney handling my case. His firm took the case over seamlessly; with no issues to speak of. They were always there by phone (and when needed in person) to answer questions. We felt valued as clients and would STRONGLY recommend Daniel and his firm to family and friends. I hope I never need Daniel to go to bat for me again but if I did need an attorney; he's the only one I'd call. Thank you Carter law firm. You made the process as painless as possible in a very painful situation. The settlement wasn't bad either ((thumbs up)).Fidel Garcia

I have been with Mr. Carter and Ms. Yer for the past 3 years! And I couldn’t have a better team to represent me and my family! The communication and their drive that the have to make sure me and my family get what deserve. Ms. Yer has to be hands down one of the best representative I have had the pleasure of dealing with. The are some sharks 🦈 that take care of their clients! And have the drive to make sure we are taking care of! I have no doubt they won’t let me down. Thank you so much for everything! Can’t wait to see what our final outcome will be together we got this!Melon Herrera

I highly suggest hiring the service of Tim Mazzela, APC to anyone in need of a motorcycle accident lawyer and excellent legal representation is necessary. I will forever be grateful to Tim who took extra care in giving me information about my rights and offering clear, honest advice to get the best outcome for me. His team also showed me respect throughout this entire ordeal, answer all my questions thoroughly, and made me feel that I was able to communicate my concerns openly. Even though this was a stressful time for me, I was confident that my case was being handled by a firm that treated me like family and they always had my best interest at heart. Thank you so much, Tim Mazzela, APC!!!lupita garcia

I was attacked by a dog at the park a few weeks ago and sustained a serious injury from it. This was my first time dealing with stuff like this, so I had no clue what to do or who to call to be honest. Luckily, my friend personally knows a dog bite lawyer in Fresno and got me in contact with Tim Mazzela, APC. Tim and his staff were able to help me understand the process of making a personal injury claim for a dog bite and walked me through this matter with their solid legal advice. Eventually, I got an excellent settlement out of this ordeal and I have Tim's amazing group of people to thank for that.bill eld

My family and I want to thank the entire Tim Mazzela, APC team for their support and hard work. His staff kept in constant communication with me on any new developments and consistently offered compassionate understanding for my disability. Tim stands by his mission of putting his clients’ needs first. With his extensive knowledge and experience, he built a strong legal argument that won me the settlement. If you're seeking legal assistance or advice from an expert motorcycle accident lawyer, I definitely recommend the top-rate service of Tim Mazzela, APC!Mossey Evelin

I’m so pleased with the service I received from Mr. Peña and his office! Every call was answered or returned so quickly and everyone was very kind and professional! During my hearing, Mr. Peña asked the questions that I had hoped would be addressed and defended my case with true professionalism and all the legal jargon that I didn’t understand but trusted in his knowledge and it lead to the success of my case. I would recommend him to anyone trying to file for disability. He really made things worth the journey! Thank you, Mr. Peña for winning my case!!David H

You couldn't ask for someone better to fight for your case..theirs no going wrong when you choose Pena & Bromberg! Thank you again to all who works at his firm & fought for my case:)😁 😀😄chris corson

Oak Brook College provided me with my first law degree. With it, I was able to pass the California Bar on the first attempt. The education I received from Oak Brook laid the foundation for my second law school trek at Oklahoma City University School of Law, which resulted in my licensure as an attorney in my home state of Oklahoma. Both of my law school experiences have played a role in my legal career, but Oak Brook gave me the bulk of my legal knowledge. Oak Brook's J.D. program set the stage for me to finally open my own law firm in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where I currently practice. I cannot recommend Oak Brook's quality of education enough. Their rigorous program is on par with any ABA program. I know because I've done both.Caleb Harlin

Twenty years ago I graduated from Oak Brook College of Law. Oak Brook opened doors for me in public policy and law that the 18 year old Mark Bigger could never imagine. I met some of my closest friends at Oak Brook. I love the practice of law and the opportunity to make an impact in the community. The Christian education I received from Oak Brook was a great ROI and because it was spread out over four years, I was able to work my way through without debt. I still keep up with some of my law school professors and I love hearing about how other Oak Brook graduates are doing. Oak Brook College gave me a great education and the tools to start my own law career and I am very thankful.Mark Bigger

Oak Brook College is a fabulous alternative to traditional bricks-and-mortar law schools. Within each semester, you can work at your own pace, so it can be fit into the demands of your job and family. The professors are happy to answer questions, and the other students are friendly and supportive, instead of grappling for class standing. It is extremely affordable, so you're not saddled with a huge debt after graduation. Best of all, the studies are from a Christian worldview.Barbara Sonin

I have used this attorney's office several times by now and have been very satisfied so far. Gary Winter has been very helpful and understands my needs and knows exactly what I need to have accomplished. Even though we are not finished with the process as of yet but I am confident that I'll be at ease and that I can rest "in peace" once contracts are signed. Rikki also has been very professional and follows up on matters which is very much appreciated.Helga Good

Amanda Neal and Marisa Gonzales were absolutely wonderful when planning my Family Trust. They handled everything in a professional manner. When I had questions they were readily available and I always felt welcomed. This was one of the best decisions my husband and I could have done for our family. I am thoroughly happy with the experience and look forward to working with them in the future.Samantha Palomino

Lawvex was a great company to work with. My husband and I got our trust, and will done with Ricci and she was fantastic. The whole office was professional, prompt, hard working. They took the time to answer all questions and really inform us on what we needed to know about the process. I would recommend them to anyone looking for legal help.Kimberly Milne

Whatever you do, DO NOT use their services. Melissa charged me $400 for the hour (but also booked someone else so I basically got about a half an hour of "assistance" if that's what you want to call it) and refused to give me any paperwork. On Jan. 21, 2022 Melissa asked me to give her 1 week and that she would have everything ready for me, that turned into 5 wks later with not one piece of anything. Anytime I would call the office to speak with her, I was told that she was with another client or she was out of the office. Emails that I sent to her were replied with "I'm working on it" or some other excuse. I finally went into the office and spoke face to face with her and asked her to just give me whatever she had actually done and I would just do this on my own, to which she still refused to give me any paperwork. She asked me to give her until the Saturday that was approaching and I said I was unavailable, to which she replied that she would just enail everythig over to me. Finally, I would receive what I paid for. SURPRISE! I NEVER RECEIVED A THING!! When my court date approached, I walked blindly into the courtroom as I didn't have enough time to prepare and complete the paperwork. I trusted this place because of the ratings and reviews. I was later told by someone who had used them before that the rating comes from people who have history with them. Now I know why myself, as a newcomer, was treated like this. Luckily, the credit card company that I used to make payment we're very nice and credited my money back. In order to post my review, I had to give a, Non Deserving, 1 star. Please be warned and go somewhere else, I wish I had.Christy Trejo

I am truly amazed. Malisa and her team went above and beyond to meet my needs. After 16 years I was truly frustrated with my matter and didn’t know what to do. Malisa sat me down listen to what I had to say , went over the paper work I had to present and honestly look me in the eyes and said she could help. I can’t explain the feeling of relief at that point. It felt to good to be true. And after just a few months everything she said she would work for she did and now my matter is legally resolved. I can move on with my life now thanks to Melissa and her teambrian farley

I want to thank the whole team for helping make my divorce quick and painless. Alicia Strom, my hat is off to you. You work hard and have some difficult clients, yet you are still professional and kind. You went out of your way to keep me informed and to take my calls and even help me with questions that I had. I would recommend you all to anyone seeking help for a reasonable price. You are not out for money, but your out to help people get through some of the roughest and complicated times they may ever go through in life. Again, thank you…good teamwork!!!!Cassandra Stout

I am currently enrolled in the EMT program at National University, Fresno. I am thoroughly enjoying it. The instructors are very knowledgeable in the field, have tons of field experience, and are competent to teach. The only reason I didn't rate it fulls stars, is because this is the first time these instructors have not worked together. They are not all on the same page. and I feel like they could prepare a little more for their lectures. This however will improve(they have already improved) as this Fresno program continues. I am learning tons, and feel like I will be able to pass the class.Joel Michael Moutray

EMT program is amazing. It is organized, comprehensive, straight-forward, challenging, fun, and some. Coming in as a Registered Nurse, I was able to listen to other view points and learn different techniques. I feel is very valuable. The information taught was explained clearly and thoroughly, and time was taken for others until understood. We all learned as a team and grew together as a class. Our instructors helped build our confidence while also improving our leadership skills in command presence. I appreciate them, and I suggest this course to others. Worth it.R N

As a former graduate of NU Fresno Campus (2002) BS IT, I decided to attend an orientation for the EMT Program based on a notification. I was considering a career change and I definitely do not regret committing to this program. The instructors are all seasoned Paramedic Professionals and there is a lot of attention to hands on skills based learning. I will be going on my first ride along to experience an actual shift of EMT work. I recommend this program if you are interested in committing to a thorough and fast paced team oriented learning style.Laural Fawcett

While the staff is very friendly I have always had some kind of issue with getting documents I need or getting ahold of anyone. Communication with your lawyer is atrocious. Communication has mainly been done through his assistant or paralegal, and even then it’s not guaranteed they will call you back. It’s very difficult to talk to your lawyer directly which makes for miscommunication and in my opinion makes for a lack of being prepared. Twice, paperwork was not filed according to the judge but the lawyer thought it was. Very unorganized. Took months to get a restraining order done I had to constantly call and bug them with the ongoing threats I was receiving to get anything done. Always seemed like he was more interested in getting new clients when he couldn’t even handle what he’s got. If you have a high profile custody case go with someone with more experience. I was left feeling like I wasn’t represented fairly and like I wasted five grand.Danielle Rounsaville

Bains Law Offices is very professional and knowledgeable. The staff is amazing and available to help you when in need. I sought legal services and without hesitation I chose Iqbal. He will guide you through the entire process and will answer any and all questions with honesty. He made the process easy and stress free for myself by being attentive to what the court needed and what I was needing. I would definitely recommend this law office. Thank you Iqbal for all your help.Jas Samra

I would definitely recommend this attorney, if you’re seeking immigration counsel. My family had a complex case that he and his team was able to assist us with. You can tell he cares about his clients and it comes through in his work. He took the time to explain the steps required and answer all my questions. I also liked how he was forthcoming in the success rate of our case – honesty is always appreciated. Thank you to Iqbal Bains and his team!Supreet Gill

I live out of state, and it was not easy to find a notary in Hanford that could help me with legal documents. Bianca was very kind, patient, and professional through the first signing and the second time I needed notary, I reached out again, and Steven was very professional and helpful. It was not an easy task to have a family member sign, but they got it done, twice now and for that I really appreciate them. If you want a good mobile notary, look no further. They are the best!Missy Davis

I used Gomez Public Notary for the first time today and will not go anywhere else in the future. The service was very efficient and professional. I got an appointment the same day with extremely quick respond times. I will not hesitate to contact them the next time I need something notarized.Ryan Meier

Emailed Bianca asking for a document to be printed and when the soonest availability was; which was the following day at noon. 10 minutes is all it took for the document to be signed. Very professional, fast and polite.Cameron Anderson

I couldn't have had a better experience here at Tomassian Pimentel & Shapazian. Mr.Pimentel took on my case and the outcome couldn't have been any better. From Day one Mr. Pimentel was open and honest about my case and beyond eager to come to a conclusion that would benefit me. He always made sure I understood the process and made sure all finally decisions we properly explained. Helping me comprehend what was going on was something he always did. Thank you so much not only to you but to the staff here as well. Linda played a big roll in making me feel comfortable she was always so nice and ready to help with any questions I had. Overall I had an amazing experience and beautiful outcome. Thank you so much for making this all possible.Devanny Beeman

Mr. Pimentel and Linda has helped me and multiple family members in the unfortunate events we were all involved in car accidents. (in which none of them were our fault) I had reached out to them after experiencing my first accident and they immediately offered a free consultation to further discuss my situation. Linda handled my case for me and alleviated all the headache and stress off of me. They were so attentive to my best interest and I could not be more grateful to have them represent me. They thoroughly took care of everything, assuring I understood the process and always followed up when necessary. If you need someone who will represent you with your best interest at heart, I highly recommend them.Emily vang

Robin is an exceptional LDA with years of experience. I have utilized her on multiple occasions and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable and receptive to my questions. I would describe Robin as professional, caring and competent and highly recommend her for legal document assistance!Kim McManaman

Robin prepared a trust for living trust for my husband and I. We were grateful for her thorough and expedient service and the special care she took of us with some of the difficult things you discuss when deciding who will care for your children and finances. I highly recommend her services.Maria Mayes

Robin is really great at what she does! She is compassionate and understands the legal system really well. She helped me set up my will and my father's will and living trust, as well as some property documents. Fair prices and efficient, competent serviceElena Perez

Bill Coleman failed as a trust attorney. My mother hired him in 1999 and he screwed up her estate by not putting the correct assets in the trust. Of course, my mother did not realize it at the time in 1999. She then had him revise it in 2003 and Coleman still DID NOT catch his mistake twice!. They also screwed up on putting the correct APN on the deeds. It was not until she passed in 2016 that I found the mistakes when I administered her trust. Coleman took little responsibility and cost us thousands in probate courts which is the whole point in having a trust; I was trying to avoid court@!!@!. He was incompetent from the beginning. Don't hire this firm because they are the ones supposed to be helping our parents in making a trust and instead has cost stress and waste of trust funds. Although he had to fix it and pay for the mistake, my other lawyer had to clean up the other issues of transferring property. These trust lawyers in Fresno, will tell you, "simple typo errors' but those little errors, end up costing you thousands!! Find another attorney. And Coleman, don't answer this review with some excuse and we both know there are no excuses.ev

Andrea Chapman helped achieve what we thought was almost impossible. My parents were victims of fraud by a solar contractor who misled them and fraudulently opened an PACE/HERO loan account in my parent's name. The contractor created a fake email account, applied for and opened a loan in their name which created a lien on their property. The lien caused their property taxes to quadruple yearly. They are elderly and are on fixed income so the added expense created a major hardship for them. For 3 years this caused my parents a great deal of stress, pain, and the fear of losing their home for delinquent property taxes. Andrea helped point out and identify the citation to get the lien cancelled in it's entirety. We are happy to say today we received the phone call from the awesome team at the county auditor and tax collector's office letting us know that the lien has been officially removed. Thank you so much to Andrea Chapman. We are extremely grateful for her services. My parents can now have the peace of mind that they deserve. Thank YOU!Fidel Dorado

Darryl did a phone consultation with me. Provided me with facts and information regarding my case. When you speak with the staff at this firm, you quickly realize the difference between them and others in the field. Their experience speak for itself. Just give them a call and see for yourself. It will be the one call you can't afford not to make. Thanks Darryl Nick from Orange CountyDriveline Motors

Months after my family court issues were resolved I remembered that I had left a deposit for when I did return to Janet and her office for help. I was sure I’d never see the funds from a sizable deposit again. I called the office prepared to give my story and plead for my money back. Instead the receptionist was so kind and helpful.she said, “All you need to do is email Janet and she will take care of your refund. “ The part that actually took me back was that Janet’s response was immediate and options for returning my deposit were so much more than wait! There are times in all of our lives, where we really just need to catch a break… this was mine! Thank you for the wonderful service and returned funds on services not applied. I appreciate the professionalism and speedy response. The only legal service I’ll ever use!Desere Talley

I would like to highly recommend Janet and Kelli for paralegal services. They are professional, knowledgeable and they get the job done. I came to them during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I had talked to a lawyer and I was looking at more than ten thousand dollars to have him work on my issue. When I spoke to Kelli, she explained the process, what paperwork was required and a clear timeline. Based on the information she provided, I decided to have her office handle my paperwork. I’m so glad I made that decision. She saved me thousands of dollars and handled my paperwork efficiently and effectively. Thanks to her, I was able to have peace of mind that someone competent was handling my issue and I could completely focus on my work and my life. I will forever feel blessed to have found them.Lee Marceau

Was able to get a free consultation regarding some legal matters very quickly. Sarah was very informative and set a good path of the process. Months had past before I decided to pay for a retainer. Soon after I paid the legal situation had changed and her services were not required. No paperwork had been initiated yet but her time outside of the free consultation was utilized. I wasn’t expecting a full refund as her time has value but she explained it didn’t burden her to answer a few more questions and to stop the process. If I ever need legal consultation, I would definitely go to Sarah.eBenefits “Uneed2file” Support

Refused to allow me to review docs after paying half. She misspelled and deleted info prior, took 9 days to finally finish. Also, promised to e file, then claimed last minute 'she can't do that'! (Yet doing this 13 years?) Kept demanding balance w/o showing me final draft. No show @ 2nd meeting, wherein we were to finalize docs a week ago. No call, nothing. I sat waiting all day after driving hours, screwed up my schedule and I still gave her another chance. Been in and out of hospital, seriously ill, but she has 0 consideration. Who pays off vital legal docs they can't view and approve before filing?! Will be disputing. Thanks, Regina, for wasting my time, energy and making me even sicker.Erin

Regina has been a God send for me and my son. I was hit with very emotionally debilitating news regarding my soon to be ex-husband and father of my son. Regina has been nothing but professional, timely and accommodating. Thanks to her I will not need to spend excessive amounts of time or money for a divorce and name changes that are so important for my son and I to move forward from this mortifying situation. I recommend Regina Martinez to anyone that can benefit from her services. Thank you for your help!!natalie P

Mrs. Martinez was a pleasure to work with. She is extremely proficient in the legal field. My experience with her was very positive. She assured me that all work would be completed correctly, on time and it was. Not only did my legal case work out in my favor but the process was less stressful due to how Mrs. Martinez handled my affairs. I most certainly would recommend her!Samuel Huerta
