Wade Law Group

"I live in San Diego and was ambushed with a temporary restraining order in Family Court and needed to respond within days in Los Angeles county. This surprised me, created significant emotional stress, and logistical issues. I called dozens of firms in both San Diego and LA, but got the best support and intake from Wade Law (Los Gatos) and my attorney Victor Bullock. I was able to retain them, send documents, and get initial feedback and insight on the phone. Victor was calm, strategic, reasonable, and set expectations in an emotionally challenging situation. He was a great sounding board, which helped give me confidence in our case and allow me to focus on elements essential to support our defense. I was confident entering court with our work. He was methodical, focused, and kept the other side from evading the relevant questions. Family Law is stressful and Victor Bullock made clear and relevant arguments to win my case. I hope I don’t need to go back to family court again, but I would immediately reach out to Victor at Wade Law."

"Xochitl helped me out a lot during a difficult time. Not only was she able to defend me but she was persistent and supportive during this time. I’m grateful that I was able to find a lawyer like xochitl and I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a lawyer."

"Look elsewhere! Had a consultation with Jake McAllister. He never bothered to call me at the scheduled time...I had to call him. He was unprofessional when he answered the call. He said "hi" in a 'what do you want' tone of voice. I think even McDonalds could answer the call with more professionalism and enthusiasm. He basically couldn't help me and was trying to direct me to talk another person in his law firm. Then finally, it was about the money. The most enthusiasm I heard in his tone of voice was "how are you going to pay or who is going to pay"."

"First of all, this is the first time I have had to leave a negative review, although I felt compelled to do so. I have been trying to contact Jake T. McAllister for the past three weeks. The intake process went smoothly and a follow-up email was sent. I have provided the details of my case but have not received a response. Despite calling every other day, I have not received a response. When telephone calls were not successful, I began e-mailing. Although he had received and viewed emails, he had not responded. I would have appreciated if he had given me the courtesy of responding whether or not he wanted the case. The final straw was the fact that he left for vacation without contacting me. I was delighted to discover this Yelp. My suspicions were confirmed. If they are unable to answer the phone or respond to emails. It is only going to get worse after you cut him a check. You should not waste your time and money on him."

"IF you can get past the pushy sales pitch at your 'free consultation' and buy in ($5000 ante), don't expect much except for irregular bills (sometimes not billed for months and other times twice in a month) that are due in 4-5 days! Then if you can't pay in that time they'll threaten to drop you and leave you without an attorney after they've drained your bank accounts. There's no transparency about what to expect in fees. Closer look: their lawyers have billing quotas to meet, so look carefully at your invoices - they charge for their own administrative costs like "update client list" several times in one month. They turn over staff frequently and say you won't be charged for a paralegal taking over but then she asks for the same info as the last one and bills you for it. You probably won't have the same attorney through your case either because the good ones leave. Do yourself a favor and get a recommendation for a lawyer from someone you trust! It will save you thousands of dollars and a lot of stress. Look at their Yelp reviews."
