The Law & Mediation Offices Of Garrison Klueck

Amy West is a great family law attorney. My case was very complicated, as I am a Chinese National who married an American in Japan, where I currently live with our young daughter. Amy quickly caught up on the facts and handled matters swiftly and with confidence gained from her vast experience. She kept me informed at each step and showed up at every hearing. She dealt with all stateside matters for me, including a false abduction claim filed by my ex-Husband with the State Department. She worked tirelessly, often handling e-mails very late into the night, which is very rare for an attorney working for pro bono in the states. At the final three-day trial, my ex-Husband was represented by three attorneys from a famous global law firm - against me and Attorney West. The attorneys for my ex-Husband were very aggressive in cross examination, but Amy calmed me down by reassuring me about the law. She told me whatever questions were asked, she would 'fix it' for me. As a result of Attorney West's efforts, I received full custody of our daughter. It's impossible to express all the good things about her in just a few short words.

Had an appointment scheduled with this firm in order to discuss a simple name/gender change case. They never called and never followed up with me. I preferred the telephone appointment and I am now glad that I didn't waste my time going in person. They showed me how unprofessional they can be by wasting my time.

I had a very complex case in San Diego , which required a lot of research, I received a letter from Dept. of Child Support saying I owed $80k, (from owing $0 Support ) I knew I had to get a lawyer right away to fight . I was paired up with Mr. Miller because of his patience and excellent research ability. With his help we were able to bring down a simple misunderstanding to a fraction of what they were demanding. Not only was I impressed but the judge also commended Mr Miller for the research he presented. I also want to mention, I live In Sacramento and did everything thru iphone & email with no problems. I would highly recommend Mr. Miller

$5,000 for legal representation just isn't in my budget, much less when half my checks go to child support. But it's for my kids, what parent wouldn't? So i was able to get a loan from a bank and hire these guys after Mr.Klueck was able to convince my wife and I it was the right choice. Words can not define how angry and let down I now am. I feel like i have been robbed. Jeff Miller represented me, but it seemed more like his plan the whole time was just to push things off till i ran out of money. I now have $5,000 in debt to a bank and see my kids even less than i did before. If i could display my billing statements you would understand the frustration as this firm was able to stretch my case out with enough emails and phone calls to deplete ALL $5,000 giving me ZERO results. To make it worse, they have made no form of apology in anyway, more less just a 'thanks for your business'. I haven't received any file information or communication since i notified them of discontinued service. No direction or advice on what to do next or where to go from here. No 'we tried our best'. I had so much hope that i was going to finally get to have time with my kids, now I have to swallow my pride about being robbed by these guys and putting myself deeper into a hole that keeps me from ever having my kids on a regular basis. Words can not describe. But what can you do right? So an attorney? Raise your voice over the phone? Go in and threaten people? At the end of the day, they got their money and there is nothing i can do about it. Their not gunna do anything else without charging you. Please, don't let these folks rape your finances and emotions like they have mine. How do i explain this to my kids?

I decided to use this firm for mediation, going through a divorce isn't very fun but my Ex and I decided to be amicable and use this law firm. I'm a government employee and although both my Ex and I didn't have representation Klueck decided to press my Ex to take my retirement when we already had agreed upon different terms. It was very unprofessional and one sided for a mediation meeting. Klueck also likes to hear himself speak, a lot. He really tried to stretch meetings out rather than doing what is needed and moving along. I know it is difficult to focus when you are in a situation where you need to locate a good attorney but in my opinion keep looking. This law firm is forgetful and doesn't return phone calls.
