Navigating a child custody and visitation case is one of the most stressful experiences a parent can face, but working with Ms. Chellei Jimenez made all the difference. From the very beginning, they demonstrated incredible expertise in family law and a deep understanding of my unique situation. Ms. Jimenez was always accessible, answering my questions promptly and providing clear, honest guidance throughout the process. What truly stood out was her compassion and dedication—not only were they a fierce advocate for my rights, but they genuinely cared about ensuring the best outcome for my child. Thanks to their hard work and strategic approach, I was able to secure a fair custody arrangement and visitation schedule that prioritizes my child’s well-being. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and highly professional family lawyer, I cannot recommend Ms. Jimenez enough. They turned a challenging and emotional process into a manageable one, and I’ll always be grateful for their help.”*

I had a concerning experience with Chellei Jimenez, whom I retained near the end of 2021. She deviated from our initial discussions and altered the agreed-upon objectives. I received unprofessional emails from her and her staff, particularly Claudia, who made numerous mistakes in filing paperwork. Despite my repeated attempts to explain the nature of the domestic violence I have been dealing with for years, my concerns were not adequately addressed. In fact, her paralegal Claudia found it laughable, stating "Welcome to California". Another employee she claimed to have fired after she aggressively tried to make me sign papers full of false information about my finances. Ironically, I now have a restraining order against the mother based on the same evidence I previously presented to Chellei. This same evidence I presented to Chellei was one of her reasons in requesting a motion to withdraw. Our judge granted the restraining order without a hearing, indicating that my papers and concerns had merit. Unfortunately, my daughter has been diagnosed with an emotional disturbance disorder, after the same events I expained to Chellei kept happening. Chellei's approach exacerbated the situation, increasing conflict and casting me as the antagonist. She advised me to dismiss serious issues (see screenshot), although they eventually led a judge in California to issue a restraining order against the mother. Despite successfully fighting a domestic violence restraining order about three years ago, Chellei's decision to request a short-cause custody trial, which I believe was a critical mistake, has had long-lasting effects on my relationship with my daughter. Chellei Jimenez never informed me about a very important section code in California Family Law. I learned about Section Code 3044 during my 2nd year in law school, which pertains to domestic violence. Our honorable judge is now questioning why it took me so long to bring these issues up (screenshot below). The delay was due to Chellei's tactics, which ultimately reduced my custodial time with my daughter by 80%. Two other attorneys have notified me of her mistakes. One of them is very familiar with Chellei as a colleague. After I sent her an email with evidence of the abuse, she downplayed it and filed a motion for withdrawal, claiming the information was irrelevant to my case. (It was used as an exhibit and restraining order was granted recently with another attorney) After two years of law school and several consultations, I've been validated in my belief that her tactics hurt my case tremendously. I hope we can work toward a remedy and implement additional ethical guidelines for attorneys who claim to be specialized and certified in family law. When retaining an attorney who claims to be certified as a family law specialists with decades of experience, especially when it involves your children, you should have peace of mind knowing your investment is in capable hands. Best wishes to all the dedicated mothers and fathers who simply want to be involved in their children's lives. I invite an open dialogue to explore her actions while representing me and also to help validate my review. I have never wrote an in-depth 1 star review until now. I hope this post helps a single mother or father out there in making an informed decision.

I would not recommend this Law Office to anyone. There are so many people who claim to care and be genuine in their profession forgetting why they went into it, in the first place. Deceit is not one of them. However, what you do in the dark will always come to light. This office took over $6,500 from my children and I. Lied and had nerve to charge me an invoice after I fired this firm and obtained new representation. I also had fee waivers granted and even with that I was charged for emails calls and times that I was not speaking with anyone from this firm. I found out matters discussed that I didn’t even know about. This firm exposed my children and my personal information to the other parties involved in this case and what is even crazier is I found out why this firm pulled back on my DV case because it involved District Attorneys who also lied and made the attempt to cover up what was done to my children and I for years. I just obtained the evidence this year. This office does not care about how you feel they will speak over you, extremely rude and unprofessional. This office lost my documentation, wrote on my original copies and provided documents that were not even legible and also exposed another clients personal information to other clients. Made attempts to charge me when it wasn’t time for my payment to process. How can you expect to assist someone if you don’t even understand their case? I would not recommend this firm. Don’t waste your time or money.

If could give 10 star if I would. Ms. Chellei was always busy, but that never stopped her to call me back with any questions and/or concern I had. There was times where attorney was in a different county 8hrs in court and she always called me back same day, even if it was later in the day. Everyone in the office was great even when i was super overwhelmed and might have sounded off towards them at times. That was due to my complicated case and was feeling as there was no light at the end of the tunnel. Ms. Chellei and her team not only made me see the light shining bright at the end of the tunnel, but handled my case with care, respect, dignity as any legal representative should. I am very, very impressed with their service and will refer anyone in need. I read a lot of comments about the charges, but all i have to say that this office is providing a service with a price that was presented at the time you signed a client representation agreement. Any service given, on the case from the office is not free. I must give credit to myself as well as i was ahead of the game on providing all paperwork in advance, which made the presentation from the attorney more efficient. Attorneys will never be able to represent a good case unless you provide documents and communicate with them thoroughly. Client -Attorney relationship is a tango dance, they must dance/work together. ***Thank you Team Jimenez Law Group!***

I highly recommend Mrs. Jimenez Law Group. They provided excellent service a With my cases. Any questions I had Claudia was able to navigate me through the whole process. I have gone multiple times with Jimenez Law Group with any legal issues that would arise because I was 100% confident they would do everything in their power to win my case. And they sure did. Thank you for all your hard work. Past client E.A
