I can’t say enough good things about this family law firm. Erin and Karen truly stood out, they were compassionate, patient, and always took the time to explain things clearly. They made me feel heard and reassured, which makes such a difference when you’re dealing with sensitive family matters. The billing team was great, friendly, professional, and very informative. Their attention to detail and dedication gave me confidence that my case was in the best hands.

Please read the Yelp reviews before hiring this firm. I genuinely believed I had done my due diligence, and I regret trusting them. This firm has extremely predatory billing practices. I was repeatedly charged for vague “weekly” and even “daily” meetings with no explanation of what was discussed or why they were necessary. Many invoice entries lacked sufficient detail to verify the legitimacy of the charges. When my retainer was finally returned, it was nearly half of what I was owed. When I questioned the discrepancy, I was suddenly told there were “third-party charges” — something that was never clearly disclosed. To make matters worse, their invoices state that you have only two days to dispute charges, yet the invoices themselves didn’t even include the third party charge, making it nearly impossible to identify issues within that timeframe. After I formally notified the firm that I was terminating their representation, they continued billing me for internal emails and communications - including emails about transferring the case to my new attorney, which my new attorney was already handling. Those post-termination communications totaled over $600, billed after they were no longer my attorneys. The lack of transparency, shifting explanations, and billing after termination are deeply concerning. I would strongly caution anyone considering this firm to review their invoices carefully and be very clear about billing expectations upfront.

When my original legal team abruptly left just three weeks before mediation, I was overwhelmed and unsure what to do. Kevin Whitacre, Senior Attorney at The Valley Law Group, stepped in without hesitation and worked tirelessly to get up to speed on my case. Kevin took the time to truly understand my situation—after 26½ years of marriage, my wife left, leaving me with all the bills and kids. It was a complicated case, but Kevin approached it with professionalism, empathy, and determination. He was extremely thorough, kept me informed every step of the way, and communicated clearly throughout the process. Most importantly, Kevin gave me honest advice—even when it wasn’t what I wanted to hear—because it was what I needed to hear. His guidance was always in my best interest. Kevin worked hard for me and never let me down. I strongly recommend Kevin Whitacre to anyone in need of a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate attorney.

Katie Morgan is truly the Queen of Protection Orders! She ruled the courtroom with confidence and experience — her cross-examination skills were outstanding, and she turned a stressful, emotionally draining situation into a moment of vindication and relief. After everything I went through, I finally felt heard, protected, and free. Lauren Whisler deserves equal credit for her incredible behind-the-scenes work. She meticulously organized every piece of evidence, combed through countless messages, and built a perfectly structured exhibit list that set us up for success in court. Damian Hosokawa is the best consultant at the firm, who helped me with 3 different cases. Onboarding was quick and made me repeat customer. Together, Katie and Lauren and Damian make an exceptional team — professional, compassionate, and razor-sharp. I highly recommend them to anyone facing protection-order or family-law issues.

Gayle M. and team are great! I recommend The Valley Law Group. Team is informative, diligent, and creative. Also manages and explains processes and understanding of legal complexities. Their transparency is appreciative, even though sometime tough information needs to be provided. Keep up the good work!
