Counterpoint Legal

It is one thing to advocate for a client, it is quite another to coach the client to lie under oath. The firm's (very) junior attorney Jillian Connery lied continually throughout the process (about subpoenas, witnesses, evidence, receipt of process) and brought a case that was easily dismissed by the hearing officer despite the respondent's not being represented by counsel. There is race to the bottom between integrity and competence for this attorney and it speaks poorly of Counterpoint Legal that it has Jillian Connery as an attorney on staff. Postscript: It appears that Dobbs-Connery is no longer with the firm as she no longer appears on their website. I don't know if the reason for her leaving is an ethical violation along the lines of what she perpetrated against me. I have read a number of 1-star reviews in other places. It still speaks poorly of Counterpoint to have employed her in the first place.

We had Susan Yea from Counterpoint help us with our living trust. She was incredibly responsive, patient, and thorough throughout the entire process — always taking the time to answer all of our questions with care and clarity. Her professionalism and guidance gave us a strong sense of confidence and peace of mind during something that can often feel overwhelming. Top rated, above and beyond, exceptional service.

I had a 30-minute consultation with Michael Wales and unfortunately found it to be disappointing. He spoke very slowly and didn’t seem interested in advocating for me or understanding my concerns. He made it clear that he was only offering legal opinions, not representation, and came across as dismissive rather than supportive. During the consultation, he focused more on the opposing party’s points and ignored several of my requests. In a time when I needed guidance and someone to have my back, I didn’t feel I could trust him to do so. I left the meeting feeling more stressed and frustrated than when I arrived. Overall, this experience left me with a negative impression not just of Michael Wales, but of Counterpoint Legal as a whole. I would not recommend them.

We are so happy with our service by Susan Yea with Counterpoint Legal who updated our trust. She is very organized, reliable, professional and a great communicater! We hope we will never need an attorney again, but if we did, we will definitely request Susan.

Morgan Ross is a fraud.i hired him to handle my CPS case against the county in dependency court after they removed two out of four children from my home.the county was charging me with Munchausen syndrome i paid him over $20,000 to Mr Ross to represent me.i had hundreds of pages of documents from my son's psychiatrist and hospitals to prove my case.Mr Ross did not give the judge any of my evidence that said my son was inpatient in psychiatric hospitals and they kept his diagnosis the same.i lost because he intentionally didn't submit my evidence to the judge.i hired two more attorneys and fired him.he was so upset he didn't want to give me some of my monies back until I threatened him with contacting the bar.guess what? he gave me alot of my money back.With the other two attorney's I won my case against the county of San Diego..i ended up paying a little over $200.000 but it was all well worth it.i now have a lawsuit against them.be careful if you hire him.he was definitely NOT on my side.he gets negative zero stars from me.i had to give atleast one star to post🤮

Good luck getting a hold of Jillian Connery. I've called, left messages and email a countless number of times and never heard back.

Susan was just awesome! So knowledgeable and so professional and She guided me through my Estate planning process. I felt so supported by her and her team and she explained the whole process so well! I now feel so at ease knowing that I have all my docs completed! Thank you Susan!!

Had to call 3 or 4 times to see if they could make very small changes: Updating the dates of when the trust was crafted. Never got a return call.

Susan Yea made the process of setting up our living trust incredibly easy. She explained everything thoroughly and in detail, ensuring we felt confident every step of the way. We highly recommend her!

Rating One Star---a penny tip tells more than no tip at all. My attorney outlined a plan based on my needs; when it came time to execute the plan, she claimed it was unethical and couldn't move forward. What a waste of time and money. Fraudulent billing practices...Do not use Counterpoint Legal.

I had them complete a trust for me and the entire process was extremely stress free and first class. They took the time to explain each and every piece of the document and made sure my wife and I had no other questions. I highly recommend

My wife and I recently completed our estate planning and a special needs trust. We could have not been happier with the professionalism and attention to detail provided by Counter Point Legal and attorney Susan Yea. Susan walked us through the entire process, offered timely suggestions and answered all of our questions in a straightforward and easy to understand fashion. Thanks, Susan….well done!

She Susan is very good the work she did was very in place and in order

I have recently had to do some estate planning and reached out to Counterpoint Legal. Salena replied to my inquiry with promptness, professionalism, kindness, and extensive courtesy. After discussion with Salena, she paired me with Susan (thee attorney I would be working with). Susan was an equally delightful person! She answered every inquiry and concern I had with efficiency, care, courtesy; and even brought items to my attention that I had not previously thought of/about. An overall excellent experience!!

I have a matter being handled by them, let's just say, it's not being handled by them. To hey took the case close to 10 months ago, and to date nothing. Also we have to call them for updates, and the issue has escalated. Really not happy with their service. Also, my issue could have been over several months ago, we were offered a settlement, we were advised not to sign it, now it's off the table, and there seems to be no resolution, or recovery of money's lost, anytime soon. Very disappointed. Update: never heard from lawyer, and even though this is a less than nice, but factual review, no one from the firm EVER contacted me for resolution...but they got paid. I think that, regardless of your business type, you should treat people, especially paying customers, with at least a minor degree of gratitude for hiring you, and if you are less than good at your job, is an apology too much to ask for? Guess it depends on your company type, business model, and amount of student loan debt you incured to procure the degree needed to be less than good.

I recently worked with Counterpart Legal on a complex legal matter and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. The team at Counterpart Legal demonstrated a deep understanding of the law and provided me with expert guidance every step of the way. Not only were they professional and efficient in their work, but they also showed genuine care and dedication to my case. I was impressed by their attention to detail and strategic approach in handling my legal issues. Overall, I highly recommend Counterpart Legal for anyone in need of reliable and top-notch legal services.

I cannot recommend Counterpoint Legal enough! Start to finish, Jennifer Hinds and her wonderful team helped us remove an illegal lien. They were all kind, knowledgeable, fair, and ethical. They have your back and will be your biggest advocate.
