This place rents to a guy who steals your money and ignores you if you show legit proof of malpractice.

Representation was almost none, and EXTREMELY overpriced!

To say that this attorney is amazing is an understatement. Jessica Dorn from Borton Petrini LLP has been through some pretty tough situations with our family. Jessica took the time to really get to know our family and guide us to do what was best for our granddaughter. We have dealt with some attorney's and always felt like they were overcharging us or not invested in us. We never felt this way with Jessica and her law firm, from the front desk to Jessica. They were always detailed and fair. Jessica even took a Saturday out of her busy family schedule to assist us in a tough situation. I could always count on her either answering my calls, emails or texts. It was nice to know she had our back always and felt like a friend when dealing with her. She cares for her job and it shows in hard work and dedication to her clients. We couldn't have done with out her and we thank God for her every day. The Macht family found an amazing attorney and we look forward to working with her in the future.

I was not a client due to lack of wanting to work with the presented case. She seemed to have dismissed us immediately, yet was willing to take a $2500.00 retainer if we had decided to go with this office. Luckily went back to Robin Reno, paid HALF THE RETAINER and got EXACTLY WHAT WE WANTED. Thanks, for your reply, dropped your rating yet another star.

I paid a retainer and was told if my case did not go to court( which it did not) that I would more than likely get some of my money back. Before my case even went to the mediator I was charged enough to pretty much max out my retainer. Jessica overcharged me for our first meeting, that she was 20-25 minutes late for because of another meeting. Than during my time talking to her she stated theirs no magic number in which a child can live with the other parent, so I go online and lo and behold California law states that when a child is 14, the child may go in front of court to state their case on why they would like to move. I felt she was biased towards moms and I was left out of the loop while she tried talking to my exes attorney. Even though I was paying her to request what I wanted, she negated that and did her own thing. When I called her out on it she became defensive and rude. Money definitely not spent well. I wish I had went with a different attorney.

I was fortunate enough to have been represented by Jessica Dorn at Borton Petrini. I truly can't say enough good things about her and her ability as a family law attorney! Jessica has been a blessing during a difficult divorce and custody process as well as a guardianship case. She was highly recommended to me for good reason, and I would glady refer any of my friends/family to her, to assist them in such an emotional and stressful process. Not only is she knowledgable, tenacious and professional when dealing with these types of situations, but she is also kind, compassionate, understanding, empathetic, and its obvious that she truly cares about her clients and their needs. She never made me feel rushed, unheard or judged throughout this process and she has a way of taking an excessive amount of information, jumbled with opinions and emotion, and making it into a concise statement that gets the point across. Jessica has been there for me whenever I needed advice or just someone to talk to about what I was going through. She has offered advice, suggestions and provided resources depending on the needs of myself and my children. She always finds a way to be a calming voice and has a natural way of reassuring all of the irrational worries that go along with custody issues. Whether by phone, email or appt, I know that if any situation arises I can contact her to keep her updated and she is very good about communicating in return. Again, I highly recommend Jessica Dorn and appreciate all of the time and energy she has put into helping me through this incredibly scary and stressful process!

Attorney Lauren Franzella represented me for my divorce and child custody case. Her intimate knowledge of California family law was evident at the consultation, and proved reliable throughout the process. Along with the help of her assistant Yolanda, they guided me through the muddled court system. The law office of Borton and Petrini came through for me at a very difficult time in my life. If you are in need of a family law attorney, Lauren is one of the best in the business.

I had the pleasure of working with Attorney Sarah Ornelas. She was not only extremely professional but she also made you feel comfortable. I never felt like I was a "bother" to her like other lawyers have made me feel in the past. She is extremely knowledgeable of the law and was able to get everything that I expected and more. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can "depend on".

I Can honestly say I had an amazing experience. One of the hardest things for me is being understood. Legal matters can be quite overwhelming and my experience was not what I expected. My attorney was extremely professional. She listened and understood. Other attorneys wouldn’t listen long enough or cut you short because they hear only what they want to hear. That was not the case here. My attorney listened to me and understood me entirely. This helped make my case very easy to handle. I was always updated and never had a hard time contacting her. I highly recommend this firm! Thank you!

I have used the legal services at Borton Petrini for both my business and personal business over many years. Their attorneys are accessible, trustworthy, knowledgable, and affordable. I cannot say enough good things about this law firm! I highly recommend them to any individual or business who needs TOP NOTCH legal advice and services! Special thanks and kudos to Attorney Phillip Avila!!

Attorney Lauren Franzella and her Paralegal Elizabeth Baroni-Rodriquez are an extraordinary legal team. Had a family matter that needed careful and immediate attention. They handled the situation professionally with compassion, great concern and in an expeditious manner. Kept us informed and up to date on all matters. Hopefully we don’t need their assistance anymore, but if required they are our go to legal experts.

Jessica Dorn and her Paralegal, Michelle Ritchey, are two of the most professional and competent women I have ever worked with. After finding myself married to a con-artist who left me with thousands of dollars of debt, I was faced with the very difficult decision of whether or not to file for bankruptcy. Jessica and her staff were completely patient with me as I struggled with this tough decision for 6 months. At no time did she pressure me to make a decision that I was not ready to make. Michelle kindly and promptly answered multiple questions and reassured me time and time again on the concerns that I had. I am at no shortage of words to describe the excellent care and service that Ms. Dorn and Ms. Ritchey provided to me. As I worked my way through what was a scary process for me, they validated my feelings and provided me with information I needed to make the best decision possible for my children and I. Jessica helped me to reaffirm my mortgage so that my son and I could remain in our family home. She walked me through an unsettling time, always offering me the light at the end of the tunnel. She helped me to have hope again. I will forever be thankful for Jessica Dorn, Michelle Ritchey, and the entire office staff of the Modesto Branch of Borton & Petrini. Each of you have walked alongside me in a time when I was feeling very alone. I will forever be thankful for your services.

I personally had an exceptional experience working with Lauren and her team. Lauren was very attentive and focused on what was best for my kids throughout a long tedious case. You can tell that Lauren and her team enjoy what they do and are driven to represent their clients and provide good feedback on options specific to their case.
