Legal Action Workshop - Glendale, California

Becca Plascencia

My original review:

Called for info about a consultation: very unhelpful. Talked over me when I started to answer their questions, wouldn't listen to my explanations, displayed no interest in the elements of my case, dismissive of my needs when they aligned with their limited scope advertising. Glad I didn't get past the first phone call with these people, I don't believe they care about their client's cases.. they are after your money. Beware!

Their response:

Thank you for your review even though it is negative! Just to give context to the review...this person is not our client and simply called our firm for information. We are a flat fee law firm for divorce and family law and as such we do not 'represent' our clients in court. Most of our clients agree on their issues. For this we prepare an agreement that is filed with the court and a court appearance is, in most cases, not necessary. However, there are some people who do not agree on their issues and these people usually represent themselves in court or hire an attorney at that point. My staff member took a great deal of time to explain that attorneys who fully represent clients do so for an hourly/retainer fee which can be quite costly. Further, after explaining our low cost option, the staff person determined that this woman would be better served by a 'full representation' attorney who could do discovery which she stated that she wanted. It's odd that she would conclude her review by saying that we are after her money...since her conversation with my staff member was entirely free, and we offer a low cost option. If we were after her money, we would've tried to convince her to use our services...which we did not do!

My reply:

It’s odd that you would not listen to me on the phone.I explicitly stated that I did not want to go to court, that I wanted to hire someone to be present with me during MEDIATION as my ex is abusive and I need help communicating. I do not want full representation and I was certainly not given ANY helpful information regarding my options to move forward if I were to handle the discovery process on my own or if I chose to move forward without it at all.
No effort was made to hear me or to help me.
No you didn’t take my money, but my warning is to others whose money you DO take… with the way I was treated by merely inquiring about services… these folks don’t care about YOU and that is what people like me look for when hiring help. Spend your money elsewhere with people who make you feel valued and respected. And considering the other reviews, this place has a pattern of treating people poorly.

I was very thankful for the help and guidance that Legal Action Workshop provided me with.It could not have been better! Brenda was amazing she explained everything right away what I needed to do. Saving me a lot of time and money. I contacted different lawyers offices but never a call back. I came in to there office where Mr. Stephen Drucker with his years of experience and helpful knowledge was able to help me with my probate code declaration. Where others would not take time or even call you back. This Legal Action Workshop was a real God sent to me during a very hard time in my life. Thank you for the work you do.Brenda and Stephen

Legal action workshop was really helpful and easy to work with for my divorce. Brenda answered all my questions and the attorney was very helpful as well. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for legal advice towards divorce or any other matters.

Wow I just called & the lady answering the phone was SO RUDE!!!
Update: They are nasty, and then they get defensive about it! They are living up to who they are. It's nothing new. No, Samantha/Brenda, YOUR ATTITUDE WAS RUDE! Period. There are plenty of other reviews on here saying the same thing. I'm sure glad I'm not your client!
Most likely, the negative reviews are true & positive reviews are bogus.

I just want to say that Stephen handled my case with expertise. He helped me and my sister with probate and paperwork in order to keep our home. Because we didn’t have any issue along the way he said it would take about 9 months but he did it in 10 which was faster than others say it would. Even though we wouldn’t hear from him from time to time because the paperwork he sent out took a while to receive back, he called me immediately when he did have updates. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a good, trustworthy, and experienced lawyer for their case.

Steve was so great and helpful! Very dedicated. I appreciate all the work he did for my sister and I. Made the process less stressful and easy to understand.

Divorce is bad enough. But having an experienced, knowledgeable, and understanding team of professionals on your side takes a lot of the stress and anxiety out of the process. I am very pleased with the guidance and legal services provided to me by the Attorney Steven Drucker, consultant Brenda, and paralegal Samantha. They provided me with sound advice and helped me work toward a settlement to avoid the expense of a court trial. I highly recommend Legal Action Workshop (L.A.W.) if you're involved in a divorce.
