Was not organized....did not call witnesses. Di not use them.

Don't use Hosford & Hosford! Don't believe any of the good reviews as they're probably fake. They don't care about their clients or the best interest of children. They only care about getting money out of you for their next luxury vacation. They don't even show up to court dates when you need them. You have been warned!

Honestly the best experience with a law firm to date, and unfortunately have experience with plenty so that means a lot. Entire staff is extremely friendly and attentive, from when you walk in and speak to the lovely ladies working the front, to getting paperwork done with the extremely knowledgeable paralegals in the back.

Both Stephan and John helped me out more than I thought possible, to get my kids back, as well as through my divorce. They are busy, but for a reason - they have a lot to do, and know how to do it. Even being busy, I was still able to speak personally with John more than enough to help me feel comfortable and calm in a tense situation, feeling confident that all of Hosford & Hosford was behind me, doing what needed to be done to prepare paperwork and for the trial so that my children could be safe.

John represented me through my divorce and subsequent custody/support modification request. I am so thankful for the way he guided me to a positive outcome on both occasions. He was sincere and worked hard to execute my wishes. I really felt like he cared about my situation. Ami and all of the office staff were kind, professional and responsive to my needs. I would definitely recommend Hosford & Hosford.

Had an excellent experience with John and the staff professional intelligent yet Down to Earth. I give him Seven Stars if it was allowed. I highly recommend them.

I definitely agree with the concept that these people are shady AF. Ask their peers, or a judge if you’re lucky enough. Nothing but nonsense !!!

Lazy, incompetent, entitled, sneaky liars who have their paralegals do all of the work. The judge asked the other attorney to explain case law to him, the wife filled in and didn’t even know anything about the case and the son made up lies and was caught by the judge. Hot mess! Ruining lives one case at a time. Don’t be the person to pay for their next lavish vacation that they will miss your trial for.

This lawyer was one of the most incompetent lawyers I have ever dealt with. Cost me a ton of money and I’m still not done. He walked away. Run don’t walk away from the firm of Hosford and Hosford. It’s almost like he has early stages of something.

Hosford & Hosford is a professional and dependable law firm. Everyone from the office staff to the lawyers really care about their clients. Valerie Hosford is very thorough and is an amazing trial lawyer. She was able to get my husband sole custody of his daughter, which is not a easy feat for a father in San Luis Obispo county. Valerie truly cared about the outcome of the case and the safety of our child. We highly recommend Hosford & Hosford and we are extremely grateful that God put them in our corner.

Super aggressive and combative, not truthful in court proceedings ...... Criminal Harassment

Dishonest and manipulative

I wanted to speak with someone here to discuss my case. There was zero effort to return a phone call, after I finally got someone to talk to me (the person whose name I was given never did speak to me) I was told that there was a $250/hr consultation fee, after which they would tell me if they'd take the case and what their retainer was. I realize people are busy, but a little effort and compassion go a long way - this firm lacks both

Absolutely by far the best law firm in San Luis Obispo County. Between myself and my husband we have used about 8 different law firms for custody/divorce issues in this county. None of them come close to the experience I received at this office. Dealing with custody issues is one of the most gut wrenching scary situations to be in. I have primary custody of my child and was using John Hosford to try and help with a small disagreement between myself and my childs father. Out of the blue I was served with papers to try and take primary custody away. Needless to say this small disagreement turned into a full on battle and I sure as hell picked the right attorney to lead me through this. I can't say enough wonderful things about all of the staff at this office. Seth, Ami, Jennifer....Everyone knew my name, my case, court dates, items that we were still trying to collect. I was overwhelmed with the amount of support and calls I received to help me track down information and keep me posted on the case. As I said dealing with custody issues can be very scary and the worst is when you have an attorney that doesn't take your case as anything more then a job and rarely gives you updates. One thing I can guarantee is that John and his staff take your case very seriously and have an emotional investment in the outcome. I have never used an attorney I knew cared about myself my child and making sure he did what was right. I can count a handful of times through this long process that I received a call from John on his cell phone leaving the courthouse because he couldn't wait to tell me about the outcome. I can promise you absolutely will not find another attorney that cares this much about you.

My Case recently has come to an end and I can not have asked for a better outcome. All the points that John and I discussed in the very beginning as being important issues were not only met but ended up exceeding my original request. My son is still with me and all our financial issues were fixed. You definitely can not complain when you end up in a better situation then before all this started!! However, I want to make it very clear that even if I would not have received the amazing outcome i did my review of this firm would still be the same. I can say with 110% certainty that this office did absolutely everything they could for me and I could not have asked for anything more.
