I hired Marble law and interview an attorney from Cupertino . After getting 3000.00 retainer and three month later the attorney asked for more money so marble law comes back to me and requested $2709.00 and I paid so my attorney can negotiate our case with opponent. I keep waiting and waiting and waiting after two months wait my hired attorney says still waiting for a phone call of opponent. She was rude on the phone at my expense that I am not her only case of divorce and I have to wait. I fired her after that got a new attorney and he looked at my case and said are you representing your self? I said no I Apparently they never represented me and when I approached the attorney from marble law she denied being my attorney!!! Huh!! I got screwed by organized crime and now Good luck getting a hold of any one in this organization!! Your tax dollars at work

I filed a complaint against an attorney and law firm for allegedly forging my signature on documents for monetary gain. I submitted all proof including to and from emails from the alleged attorney where he clearly stated the new revised documents were not available when I signed onto the law firm over 5 years ago. So, how could my signature that was dated Dec 2019 get onto newly revised documents that were not available Dec 2019? Why would I signed a old version of documents and a new version of documents on the same day and month of 2019? That makes zero sense. My complaint was dismissed. So this law firm was not reprimanded for alleged forgery. So, I guess attorneys don't have to abide by the law. They have the State Bar Association to protect them from their wrongdoing. Unbelievable! And Unacceptable!

Plz, Google Reviews is not a bar complaint hotline. If anyone has a serious complaint against an attorney, use the confidential reporting tool on the organization's website.

The bar is only there to help protect lawyers. Their purpose is to protect from the public any licensing, regulation and non-discipline of their attorneys shielding them from any type of prosecution. Government corruption at its finest.

A warning to out-of-state attorneys. I have paid and applied to take the Bar this month. Just found an email in my junk folder stating I need a certificate of good standing or else my application will be cancelled and no refund given. From where I don't know. there is no contact information. No correspondence on my applicant portal. After paying over $3000 I am astonished how poorly this process has gone. My application and admission to Minnesota was nothing like this. Impossible to talk to someone on the phone. All this after my application was not accepted because there was no button to submit statements on the application. Incredibly poor performance.

California state bar should protect the public from bad attorneys. Instead the state bar accept bribes from corrupted attorneys and allows them to continue hurting clients. State Bar even dismiss complaints with forged by attorneys signatures of clients, proven by expert opinion. That’s not how it supposed to be. Join California state bar discussion group on Facebook and let’s share resources what we can do to protect our rights.

Get this. The reason I hired an attorney was because he said that my loved one that was incarcerated on a new charge would end up with the Lesser charge if he had all of the priors for some other stuff expunged before they went to court. So of course I was super excited and was like heck yeah let's do this okay so he asked me for a $10,000 retainer so that he can process the expungements

So I was super excited and he was very enthusiastic about the fact that that is the one thing that needed to be done because that would make everything better. I started poking around and realized he can get it well he's incarcerated or being held. I verified it with four other law firms. This man insisted that he could do it and would not return my money. You know what his plan was? To submit them knowing they would be rejected and keep my $10,000 for nothing. So I submitted it to the bar and they basically sat on it for 4 months and then said that I have no claim. That is the only reason I hired a representation in California the only reason
