Law Office of Weltin, Streb & Weltin - Oakland (CA)

Steve Christensen Had to unfortunately go through a divorce but was lucky enough to have found Albert Ellis to represent me in my case. He did an excellent job of understanding my concerns and helping me achieve the best outcome for my daughter and me. Great attorney and would highly recommend to anyone.

Laura Hawk Werner Law Firm worked closely with me and patiently guided us through the whole probate process. It was very lengthy with my many questions but they were patient, thorough and very professional. It was a positive experience even with our loss.

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.

M H I called this office at a time of great stress. My first contact was Shoshannah (the office manager, whose professional and calm demeanor was very appreciated). Mr. Galambos then spent time with my family, letting us know what to expect and how to negotiate the best outcome through each step we faced. Not only was he helpful to us regarding outcome, but he was pleasant to speak with, and we left each interaction feeling calmer than we entered it. Our familys situation was relatively minor, but mishandling it couldve made it a far bigger deal than necessary. Mr. Galamboss counsel allowed us to keep it as minor as wed hoped.

ER JV If I could mark zero stars I would. I gave Lindsay the benefit of the doubt for too many child custody hearings. She is the most disrespectful, unprofessional attorney. She always had me accept deals instead of challenging it in front of the judge. She gave misinformation and charged through the roof for things and made calls without permission and would charge for them. The other staff aren’t great either. Had lots of issues. Wasted a lot of money to ultimately lose time with my child. She is not a mom and does not understand or empathize. Do not recommend.

richard wilson Receptive, all questions answered, extremely knowledgeable!!

George Murray The Team of Attorney Jacob Austin and Grant Funk were Absolutely Brilliant beyond all measure. Trustworthy and reliable, they are also supremely talented, capable, and importantly, accessible. Very Patient and very good listeners. As they have hundreds of cases behind them, I consistently received outstanding legal advice and direction. Having immersed themselves and confident in all aspects of my case, we were in a great position before hearings with very long-term implications. At the hearing, Mr. Austin simply knocked it out of the park and got me home free of two vampires who had been abusing me for the past three years. With my sincere respect and appreciation for their unparalleled dedication and professionalism throughout, I recommend you call them directly. They are Outstanding.
