I used Andy Ross to clean up a terrible mess my previous attorney left me in. Given the remains of my divorce negotiations he had every right to turn me down as a client. But he took me on. His rates are high but well worth it. He does not waste time and money on meaningless issues with opposing counsel. He is highly respected by judges and opposing counsels and gets his way most of the time because he negotiates for tough but fair deals. I found him through a personal referral and the firm that referred him is one of the most exclusive divorce firms in San Francisco. Whiting, Fallon, Ross and Abel is one of the if not the most respected firms for divorces in Contra Costa County. Don't let their hourly rates put you off, they are very efficient in their time and get excellent results. I have referred several friends to Mr Ross and all got excellent results.
I recently worked with Whiting, Ross, Abel & Campbell in Walnut Creek, and I cannot speak highly enough of their exceptional service and expertise. From the moment I walked into their professional office, I knew I had made the right choice. The legal team at Whiting, Ross, Abel & Campbell demonstrated not only a comprehensive understanding of California family law but also genuine empathy. What truly sets them apart is their ability to balance professional expertise with compassionate guidance through emotionally challenging situations. Their attention to detail was impeccable, particularly in handling complex asset division and custody arrangements. The entire staff was consistently responsive, usually returning calls and emails within hours. They were remarkably thorough in explaining each step of the process, ensuring I understood my options and the potential outcomes of various decisions. The firm's use of modern technology streamlined document sharing and communication, making the entire process more efficient. Their organized system allowed me to access important documents and updates at any time, providing welcome transparency throughout the proceedings. For anyone in Contra Costa County seeking family law representation, I highly recommend Whiting, Ross, Abel & Campbell. Their combination of legal expertise, professional integrity, and genuine care for their clients makes them stand out in the field of family law. Rating: 6/5
Alexcis is excellent. The opposing attorney for my case was way above the normal standards for a divorce, basically said she was trying to take me for everything she could get and at many times what could have been an amicable separation turned into an all out battle. It was an extremely tough situation being involved in that kind of legal battle, and the only people you have on your side [are] your family and your attorney. Alexcis always explained the legal situations even if I didn't want to hear them, but overall she did an excellent job in guiding me to an acceptable solution. I have many friends all over the state in different counties and always say to them when facing family law, that I wish they could get Alexcis. She is not only a truly wonderful person, but a very knowledgeable attorney.
[Christina Marine is the] best family lawyer in town. Works hard on my case and achieves positive results in court.
William F. Whiting, Esq. was my attorney during a multi-year litigation case after a three decades-long marriage. The fact that Atty. Whiting has practiced matrimonial law for more than 40 years, coupled with his exceptional expertise in case and time management skills, made me feel assured that the end-result would be favorable, as it was. His broad knowledge of the legal process, the formulation of a much-needed support team and his insight into legal areas I would have no knowledge of, all made for a positive as well as assertive approach to resolution. Although his representation is not inexpensive, the value of sticking to principles in the pursuit of a mutually agreeable solution cannot be underestimated. Where Atty. Whiting shines is in the negotiation process. He is forward-thinking and pays much attention to every detail. The ability to think "out of the box" and quickly, is his forte. Because he is so experienced, he is able to assess and propose alternative solutions at every level of negotiation in order to keep the process moving to achieve final closure. Atty. Whiting will stand by you, and, therefore, I highly recommend his services.
