Law Office of John B Richards - Santa Barbara (CA)

Emily Piper I recently had the pleasure of working with my dear friend, Angela, to set up my trust, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, she was thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. She took the time to explain every step in a way that made me feel confident and informed, without ever feeling overwhelmed. What stood out most was her genuine care, not just for getting the paperwork right, but for making sure my family and my wishes were protected for the long term. It’s not easy to talk about estate planning, but Angela made the process feel empowering and secure. If you’ve been putting off setting up your trust or estate plan, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Angela. Her professionalism and heart make all the difference.

Jessica Ausura Mr. Andrade is the consummate professional, yet accessible and friendly. His handle on the law is second to none and this familiarity with it puts clients at ease and makes them feel that they are in good, capable hands. He has an excellent case win record and I never doubted for a minute that he was the right choice for me. Many lawyers can be intimidating, but Mr Andrade is ingratiating and empathetic, which makes uncomfortable and often miserable circumstances much easier to process. I highly recommend Andrade Law Offices!

Javier Pompa Sosa Working with JAimèe was an exceptional experience from start to finish. She brings a rare combination of professionalism, deep legal knowledge, and genuine empathy that immediately put me at ease. Every step of the process was explained with clarity and patience, and I always felt informed and supported. What stood out most was her ability to balance strength and compassion—she was a fierce advocate while still making time to listen and understand my concerns on a human level. JAimèe is truly a dedicated professional who goes above and beyond for her clients. I couldnt recommend her more highly.

Courtney DeSoto Renee is a shrewd, stand out family law attorney with incredible experience and poise. She assisted me with post-dissolution child support negotiations and was able to do so with candor, clear communication and discernment (and we avoided court!). She has a stellar reputation and deserves it. If you want someone to go to bat for you, you need Renee. HIGHLY recommend.

TheFoxchick123 Russel Brown was a tremendous help in returning my phone call and getting all my concerning questions I had about my case. I was nervous and hesitant to call in the beginning but I was recommended to him by various friends and colleagues who had help from him as well. He values his clients. He was friendly, great communication, time matters if needed. I highly recommend him to my family and friends.

Frank Pennisi Louis is very helpful and passionate about what he does. He really knows the law through and through. He is working with me on a case to help me get my dog back from some people who adopted him from the Santa Barbara Country animal shelter, who’s employees ignored me when I told them many times that I was cutting my vacation short, and taking a last minute flight back to Santa Barbara to pick him up. The case is still open but it’s looking very promising. This guy doesn’t back down!

Denise Kulawik My friend got hit with a false domestic violence charge and restraining order that was a real problem. I helped her find Chudnovsky Law and Nicole Enyart. I have to say Nicole was always dependable in court and followed through on anything she promised. She was very patient in explaining all the issues and legal protocols. My favorite part was the way she explained how she was going to deal with discrediting the allegation and fight the charge. She has excellent communication skills. We were very relieved when she got the case totally dismissed, especially since we heard the judge is tough to deal with. Everyone at the law firm was great to work with and Nicole is a wonderful attorney.

James Fenkner Mark helped my wife and I with our Trust many years ago. Best advice ever. Will be updates the documents soon to reflect lifes changes.
