Hired this guy a year a go for a divorce. Paid the $2,500 retainer fee, he has yet done anything. Anytime we call to make an appointment, they say they will call back. They NEVER do. Waste of money. Want the fees back so I can handle it myself

Biggest waste of $2500. Don’t be fooled by initial consultation. Extremely unprofessional, unorganized, unresponsive individual. Did absolutely nothing for me or my custody case. Shows up late for court, and way over charges for services. If you decide to hire you will learn first hand what it’s like dealing with America’s worst lawyer. Truly hope the right individual turns him into the California Bar Association. He makes a better paralegal vs lawyer. I’m surprised he passed the bar exam, and providing legal services to the Bakersfield community. My only option was to take loss, and hire a real professional. BEWARE WHEN HE SAIS I STUDY IN ALL LAW PRACTICES. BETTER OFF PAYING LESS AND HIRING A PARALEGAL FOR WHAT HE CAN DO FOR YOU. GOOD LUCK FUTURE CONSUMERS.

I was called by this guys receptionist and told I had court but didn't have to appear because he would do it for me, he didn't show up. Then he forged my signature to recuse himself as my attorney and is trying to keep the retainer I paid him. I am filing a complaint with the bar. It's easy to prove the forged signature. Even the judge said it was obviously forged. Choose any other attorney, Lutie is terrible. Besides his thievery and dishonesty he is also very rude and doesn't communicate well with his clients.

Do NOT HIRE HIM! He is the worst attorney you can ever invest in!!!!! You get an attorney to represent you right? He doesnt show up to courts, he doesnt keep you updated on anything that happens in courts, he shouldnt even practice law. By Far the worst attorney!!!! Save your money and go with someone else other than him!!!! He shouldnt even practice law thats how bad he is!!!! Unprofessional including his staff. He is there for the money becuase he really doesnt help you at all!!!! We just fired him as our attorney!!! We rather represent ourselves than a useless attorney worth nothing but waste of time and money!!!

☹I did not win full custody but at least I got primary custody once again. I like how Mr. Thompson is very aggressive in court. I would hire him again in the future. I give him 5 stars.

Update as of October 7th Thompson helped me win the case! My opponent had said some very disturbing things to say about our case but Thompson reminded me of a protective bull dog and shut them down fast and he stood up for me. He got me everything I was asking for so my son is safe. My opponent kept pressuring me and losing his temper with me in order to get me to bend to what he wanted. That's when Thompson stepped in and my opponent backed down quickly. Thompson was aggressive and extremely helpful! I feel like my son still gets time with his father and my son will be protected while with him. I couldn't thank Thompson enough for how he helped me. Thomson helped me put a drug and alcohol test in place to keep my sons father sober. My opponent also agreed to take classes for domestic violence. Thompson was my hero. If I ever need help in the future I will be coming back!

So glad I hired Mr. Thompson. He is tenacious and very knowledgeable. I wanted someone who would fight aggressively for my case and he did just that. He showed professionalism throughout the process and I can’t be more thankful for his service. He charged a very reasonable fee too. His staff are very professional and efficient. They took care of my paper works on time. I highly recommend Mr. Thompson without reservation and would definitely hire him again.

Mr. Thompson is the worst attorney my sister has ever hired. His attorney fees are very reasonable but remember, "you get what you pay for." He charged my sister a flat fee of $7,500 to handle her divorce. When he took our family money, he made a lot of promises but did not deliver. My sister requested a restraining order and he said he would take care of it asap. After 3 months nothing was done. At the first court hearing, he was a no show. The second time, he mixed my sister's case with someone else and the judge postponed the hearing until he filed the papers correctly. In the meantime, my sister continued to be verbally abused and harassed by her husband. After 4 months and continuing to make monthly payments, he has done absolutely nothing with my sister's case. My sister recently went into his office and fired him. Unfortunate he kept our money since there are no refunds. I plead to you not to hire him. You could do a better and faster job representing yourself in court.

Me and my fiance went through him and it was the absolute most horrible experience ever. He talked a good game when we had our consult and had us believe after paying that he would get a reduced amount for my fiance on his child support and that was a lie it went up instead. And as for visitation he didn't even show up to court at all when he was supposed to be there and it ended up getting worse to where now my fiance has less time with his kids.
He hardly ever notified us of anything at all. He has poor communication with his clients. He is also very unprofessional. The other people who work in the court even agreed he was an idiot. The attorney that was doing the child support with us at the window was blasting him telling him how he burned bridges with her.
His staff is really rude as well.
This office is a complete waste of ur money. The only one who tries to help out is his receptionist at the window.

Very unprofessional! The consultation was about 3 mins long and all he kept saying was higher me and I’ll win he got my paper work and acted like he went through it and didn’t give me any answer or help me in any way! All he wants is the money.

As a member of the. US Navy, now a veteran, i was out alot at sea and once i went on deployment and i seperated from my wife i Hired this guy to get a divorce done as soon as possible. He assured me since it was a short marriage it wouldnt last more than 6 months. 3 years later and still in court in San Diego by myself. Asked for joint custody for my daughter of 3 years, visitation rights. He never showed up in Court in San Diego nor would answer the "Judges" calls to his firm due to him always being out. The only time he called in was about a year later to ask to be substitued out and no longer have anything to do with this case. This thompson guy Gave my rights as a father taken away and was forced to pay my wife about $2,300 a month for child and spousal support with no visitation what so ever. The secretaries never know whats going on and will never answer a simple questions.PLEEEEASE Do not waste your time or money on this guy. Maybe hes good at speeding tickets but he is 100% incompetent with divorce and child custody cases. Your better off doing the court paperwork by yourself.

He doesn’t defend you in court ! I was very dissapointed in him. I had faith in him and he let my family and myself down. He allowed the other party to lie and continually lie and didn’t defend me whatsoever. He made me look bad, when I have no record , now cps record, no bad record at all. And had my son taken from me when I had my son since birth!! . He didn’t defend me at all. Just took my money. Now I go back to court and I win on my own. Don’t waste your time !!!

Don't make a mistake with the attorney you choose, it could be devastating. I highly recommend this attorney, give him a call today.
Good luck to all of you going through this complicated time in your life.

Sorry to bother you but when I hired your services was with the illusion that I would not have the bad experience that some people have had. I am a single mother of two children and with the minimum wage and it makes me unfair that I had to pay her 1500 dollars to appear with me in a single court plus all the paperwork was already in court filed and the case was already advanced and to continue my Divorce requires me more money money that costs me a lot to earn.

He would not listen. He was impatient and seemed annoyed. Court proceedings went on and on just for him to lose my case. And it was "HIM" who lost it. He wouldn't do what Lawyers do or their staff and look up information. Horrible experience.

I was initially very impressed with this company. I felt like I was treated like more than just a paycheck. As I got into my divorce and needing to communicate with anyone that could update me on my case, what I needed to do, and where I was in everything I could not get answers. No one would follow through with a phone call, email, or any type of response.
My husband was served and given a court date and I never received notification of the packet being sent out, I told them I would serve my husband to save a little money, and was never notified. (He had to be served twice and I asked both times) I never even received the court date or the packet until a couple days before court. This lack of communication was (and is still) present throughout the whole process and I am very disappointed.
When my initial divorce packet was filed and served to my husband it did NOT include the things I spoke to Mr. Thompson about. He decided to omit all of my property without ever discussing it with me. My husband never responded so I could have filed a default packet and been done with everything. Because of the gross oversight, I had to re-serve my husband and hope to God that he would not fight me on the new packet. Not only is this dragging on way longer than it should have, but I call to see if I can get an update on our second default packet and have yet to hear back from anyone. This is costing me more because of the oversight and double work, and I still have no one to communicate with.
If you have time to waste and don't really care about what is going on, being informed, or being taken advantage of, this is a good place to file your divorce. Good Luck

No one wants to have to see a lawyer, so I won't say I was happy that I needed to use Thompson Law, but they made a bad situation a whole lot better. Mr. Thompson listened to my needs and fought for me. The price was reasonable and I never felt like he was just trying to extend the fighting to get more money out of me. He was honest, realistic and a very hard worker who knows how to get you the best possible outcome.

I had a great experience with Mr. Thompson. I'm a father that was awarded primary custody of our child. I was faced with very difficult obstacles but Mr. Thompson showed his experience in the courtroom to bring the truth to light, and his paralegals that worked hard behind the scenes. I can't thank him enough.

Mayra Fernandez

Excellent experience with Thompson Law. This was by far one of the best attorneys that I have ever worked with. They are not only very reasonably priced, but are very friendly, and helpful. I wold recommend them to anyone looking for a good attorney. @mmuseb: You say that you only payed $1500? that is actually a steal for an attorney with his experience! I had no problem with Kirian the secretary she was always very pleasant, and answered all of my questions. I got the results that I wanted and now have sole custody of my son, along with reasonable child support. I know everyone is different, but I really think that it depends on the person and their background to see the results that they want. If you are a dead beat dad, then don' t expect to get favorable results. Especially if you expect to pay $1500 for $5,000 worth of legal services, then you are WRONG! Good luck finding an attorney that meets your criteria with $1500. Ha! Call Thompson Law you will not be disappointment.
