Horrible Family Law Representation
Jesus Zuniga was the absolute worst choice I could have made in terms of representation. He was initially retained for a custody issue I was having with my daughter, and in a rush I foolishly decided on him due to some of the good Google reviews that I saw. Little did I know how those reviews were not representative of the service I (or many others) received. He proved to be very incompetent, costly for lack of work performed, cost us money that shouldn’t have been paid out to the other party in my case, as well as made us look foolish in court in front of the opposing Attorney and Judge, thus setting the negative tone for future hearings. Some examples: *Zuniga was late to my hearing, and left right after without really giving us an opportunity to speak about it. *Zuniga gave terrible advice to bring my daughter to the initial court hearing, after reluctantly agreeing, the judge then proceeded to berate me for this poor decision and Zuniga never spoke out once in my defense or gave any indication that this was his council in order to protect his own image. *Zuniga referred to my current wife (of 5+ years) as my fiancé, in court. *In court Zuniga did not bring up any of the case specific details we discussed. *Zuniga would frequently just agree to whatever the opposing attorney would request or say, without fact checking or confirm with us (in order to convince us that decision was for the best). *Zuniga allowed false information be presented in court (with no objection) which caused us to needlessly pay an exorbitant money to the opposing party (in child support/arrears). *Zuniga would take ridiculous amounts of times to respond to us, even mid-negotiations with the opposing attorney that were time-sensitive. At one point we did not get response from him for 2 weeks! (after 4+ emails, 3 voicemails, 2 messages with reception). *Zuniga would always wait until the last minute (literally) to submit responses with the court and their opposing attorney. Even if his office had the documents a week in advance, his responses would go in late. *Zuniga overcharges for his hourly rate. I.E. Charges his full attorney fee ($300/In increments) for small clerical work such as receiving/sending e-mails. Example, I was charged $30 for every email he read, or every email sent, even if the email was only one or two sentences. In short, I would advise looking elsewhere for family law representation if you want a solid chance at winning any semi-involved cases, or just want to feel well represented in court. You want to trust that your attorney has your best interest at heart when it comes to family matters, and I did not get this from Jesus Zuniga.
