About:

Lance Claery has been successfully practicing family law for more than seven years. He has worked with a diverse client base ranging from multi-millionaires to low income, modest means clients. He started his career as an attorney working with one of Southern California's most experienced family law attorneys. Thereafter, Mr. Claery began working for one of Southern California's busiest and most prestigious law firms. He was made a partner of that firm very quickly and has since worked on hundreds of divorces and other family law matters.

"I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with the services provided by this firm. I remitted a retainer of $5,500 for the completion and filing of a divorce petition. As of today, I remain married and, regrettably, find myself in a more precarious financial situation than before. My “account” has been billed monthly, despite a complete absence of progress on my case, which, I must emphasize, has been closed for over two years. The persistence in monthly billing for file handling is particularly bewildering, given that my case never progressed to a court appearance. The April statement, reflecting a charge of $10,000, is particularly disheartening. I consider these billing practices to be wholly unethical and should be reported to the BBB."

"I’m unsure to how to start this because the last three years have been the most mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotional draining years that I have lived. At one point I felt like giving up and walking away. I gave it one last shot and found this firm. I had been with a previous firm who scammed me for my money so I skeptical at first. I had my initial interview where the truth was said and no promises were made. From, the staff they were honest and didn’t hold back. They let me know that it won’t be easy but they will fight and they will guide but there’s no point in doing that if I was willing to do my part as a parent. Stephen Nagy and Ilse Williamson are a team like no other. Here we are today with my goal achieved and my cy child next to me. Be patient and listen to your legal team because these two guided me through the ropes and didn’t let me give up on myself. I wish I could do more than say thank you to everyone because they gave me hope and if it wasn’t for then I would have given up myself. The truth will set you free so if you know the truth stick to it and it will come out eventually. Thank you once again!"
