We do not require a retainer. Fortunately, when the Pandemic hit us in March 2020, we had already been a paperless office for many years with two cloud based case management systems. However, the Pandemic propelled us to make many improvements to our client service protocols, retainer requirements, direct calendaring, electronic exchanges and remote systems being some examples. This has allowed our firm to concentrate more on client service and less on wasteful antiquated management systems. If you entrust us with your family law matter, you'll be in excellent hands.

When It's Over,
It's time to move on

Lost your job? Do you still owe support? – AttorneyBernie.Com

Transcript:

00:00:00 – 00:00:09

Yeah, hi, this is attorney Bernie. Sorry, you lost your job. You still owe support, you think? You think you don’t owe any support? Wrong.

00:00:09 – 00:00:38

You still owe support. It’s really important, though, that you can rectify that. What you have to do is to immediately go to court and file a motion or a request to modify the order. Then when at the hearing, the judge can go back to the date that you filed it and make all orders retroactive to that date. So make sure you file as soon as you can. Otherwise, you’re still going to be responsible for the support that’s been ordered.

00:00:38 – 00:00:53

And don’t think it’s okay just to call Department of Child Support Services. If they’re handling the case, they don’t represent you. They represent the state of California. So make sure you get that request for order filed as soon as you can. Okay?
