The Law Office of Marc D. Shular, APC 14282 Danielson Street, Poway, CA 92064

"Marc Shular will NOT honor his word, will overcharge you severely, will not file documents to court and will not defend you properly in court. When I first met with Marc Shular, I discussed with him my high conflict divorce and custody case. I had not spent the adequate time with my young children and wanted strong representation to help gain better results so I could be a better father to my son and daughter. Marc gave a strong sense of confidence and “guaranteed,” that with him, I would receive a better outcome. I discussed the issue of finance and as a teacher I had very limited funding. He explained that with a $10,000 retainer, at the minimum, it would get me through pre-trial, trial, returning visits to normalcy (unsupervised) and divorce finalized with the state mandated child custody payments. At first, I thought this was a high retainer but believed what was told to me would get me to be with my children and hence put my life savings to work. At first, Marc’s office appeared to be professional. However this faded quickly. After a few months, ( still pre trial and still no outcome or adjustments to my court case), Marc’s office sent me an invoice for over $12,000. Most of the invoice went towards thousands of dollars for phone calls with opposing counsel, editing and reviewing and reviewing again a four page form of income and expense. Mind you, I do not own a home, I do not possses assets, I do not have any complications in debt and the form was filled out by me due to the little finances I had to work through for completion. Marc fraudulently charged me over $3,500 just to fill out this form and review it. He also charged me several thousand dollars for emails he communicated to me, which were mostly emails such as $80 emails saying “thank you”, $80 emails saying “Great,” $160 emails to ask when is best time to meet at the office, $180 emails giving update on straightforward information. It is important to note, that I was a self represented litigant prior to hiring Marc. I had learned the processes of the court and made sure I was a low maintenance client because a great deal of knowledge was gained from that experience. Marc never prepared me for any trial. We never even got to trial and no custody changes were ever made on my behalf and he insisted on not only keeping the retainer but charging me more funds. When I tried to reach out to him several times through phone and email, and made sure the emails and voice mails were communicated respectfully, he chose to not respond. Marc Shular was dishonest about his work to be done in my case, was dishonest about his charges in invoice, and is dishonest about filing court documents. This is a serious concern and warning to anyone who wishes to hire this law firm. Marc literally took advantage of my desperation of a father wanting to be with his children. Please take caution, please understand that this law firm will take advantage of your sincerity and will not put in the work ethic to defend you. They will lie and they will try to overcharge you for resources you never requested or agreed to."

"Marc and his team are amazing. They literally took care of my issue effortlessly. I highly recommend them for any of your issues. I am so happy with my outcome. They stayed in communication with me on all issues and gave me expert guidance on what my best options were. I wouldn’t change a thing; except I wish I’d found them earlier. Thanks for everything."

"I found Mr. Shular to always be professional, conscientious, and trustworthy. He was very responsive to my needs and handled my matters in a timely fashion."

"Marc's team help me get through a trouble milestone of my life. He was able to apply his expertise and experience and truly look out for my best interest. Please go to Marc first before going to mediation. Please avoid the pitfalls of mediation process for the other parties involve will see every possible opportunity to delay and drag out the process. Thank you much!"

"He is a fraud! he took my money for a divorce, and did not file anything. i waited 6 months for my divorce, and 1 week before it's finalized I learned my case was voided 4 month prior because Marc did not pay the court fees!!! which is odd as I paid him everything from day one. Horrible horrible lawyer. His team is also bad, his secretary Donna does not email back, and refused to send me my court documents, then I learned its because they didn't file anything. Then they told me the court had lost my documents and there was a delay. I called the San Diego court, and they informed me they cant loose documents because its the court! and the case was voided. You will get your Karma Marc Shular, you will get your Karma."
