LAW OFFICE OF ANDREW W. HAYS - San Luis Obispo (CA)

Bill Fryant Andrea was recommended by my brother, he is also an attorney in a different state. I was a very difficult time for us. Both Andrea and Houston were very kind, professional, and responsive. We would highly recommend them for the knowledge and professional handling of the probate.

Raja Orr A former employer appealed my unemployment and I was so scared I would lose to him in court. I contacted over 20 different lawyers to help me with my appeal hearing and all refused to help me except Mr. Barnum. Mr. Barnum met with me outside his business hours on a short notice and educated me about my rights and helped me put together cross examination questions that would help my case. During the hearing I felt very confident and in control all thanks to Mr. Barnum. I would highly recommend him!

Clay Mcfarland I was a client with Vanessa and her team for over a year and a half while navigating a very difficult divorce. From the very beginning, they were consistently responsive, prepared for every case deadline, and most importantly, kept my best interests at the forefront of all casework. What stood out most to me was Vanessa’s unwavering integrity—something that, unfortunately, is rarely seen in the family court system. While my ex-wife’s attorney employed tactics designed to delay proceedings and drive up costs, Vanessa refused to stoop to that level. She always remained above the madness, maintaining professionalism and ethical standards no matter the situation. Divorce is never easy, especially when children are involved. There are no true winners, as both parties are fighting for what they believe is right. I have always tried to conduct myself in a way that I can feel good about at the end of the day, and I can confidently say that Vanessa exemplifies those same values. If you are looking for an attorney who is honest, straightforward, deeply knowledgeable in family law, fair in her billing, and dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome, I cannot recommend Vanessa highly enough. She will not play into the broken system that drags cases out for profit or compromise her integrity to win at any cost. Instead, she will represent you with professionalism, compassion, and a commitment to doing what’s right.

randy brown Mangosing Law Group was great with me. Their staff has tons of pending cases so patience is very important. I was updated constantly by staff members and was educated throughout the process.

deanny lungu I recently collaborated with Brett on a family law/estate planning related matter. Brett places his clients at the forefront by zealously representing their interests. He is caring, honest and fair and also, a really a nice guy! As an attorney myself, I appreciate the experience, professionalism and dedication that Brett offers to his clients, and I highly recommend him for any divorce or family law matters.

Judah Kensinger West Coast Defense has literally fought, advised & negotiated for me beyond my expectation since my first case in 2014. Both their expertise & balanced cost were phenomenal in their representation. Both Anthony & Brandon are a TOPNOTCH Team backed by an incredible Admin Staff. They have ALWAYS been immediately responsive to my calls & questions willingly with complete respect & consideration throughout the years, even as of two weeks ago. I have worked with several firms in the past & I can testify West Coast Defense has my full endorsement & recommendation! 10 / 5 Stars!

Robert Yeager I really enjoyed meeting Jim Filippi and his team. Although, we had to hold off on doing our estate planning for now, we will definitely use Filippi Law Firm in the next year or two. Jim impressed me with his presentation, and his character. Jim came across as decent, humble, and honest. These are qualities that are sorely lacking in our society in 2025, much less among lawyers and politicians. I think Jim has carefully built his business or firm over many years and is keen to maintain its excellent reputation, and overall integrity. He is a former policeman and fireman who has not forgotten his working class roots and commitment to public service.

Chris Alexander If you are looking for an honest, trustworthy, and passionate attorney to represent you, I highly recommend Nancy Martinez. Nancy was my attorney but she is more like my daughter! When I came to Nancy, I was frustrated and overwhelmed with the local county government that was trying to take a Conservatorship over my finances and person and tell me what to do. I repeatedly told the county to shove off but they kept harassing me. When they did file a case against me, I went to Nancy and told Nancy what was happening and how fearful I was about the county meddling into my private affairs. Even though Conservatorships were not her area of practice, she patiently listened to me, consoled and comforted me, and assured me she will do everything possible for me. During the court hearing she was spectacular and was able to deliver the results I wanted. I cannot thank her enough. I hold her in high regard and most of all with deep admiration and affection. If you need a great, caring attorney, just pick up the phone and call her. Good luck with your case! Chris Alexander
