Genesis Family Law - San Diego, California

Arcane A.

I wish I fired Genesis sooner! There were so many problems.

Communication was inconsistent, and issues were met with excuses rather than efforts to resolve them.

Forget paralegals. Everything big and small was handled by attorneys, which not only significantly increased my legal costs, but my attorney was too busy with other cases to file my paperwork on time.

Billing was another major issue. I was charged unreasonable amounts, like an hour of time, which was over $400, to read a five minute email. Another recurring billing issue I noticed was that identical work appeared on multiple invoices, resulting in duplicate charges. I was also charged for hours and hours of work for paperwork that was never turned in. I talked to the owner, Eva Morena-Marks, about the charges, but rather than take responsibility, she was rude and we got nowhere.

I ended up hiring a different firm to fix the mess, which cost me even more time and money. When I told my new firm about Genesis, they said I wasn’t their first client that left Genesis with horrible stories!

Amy West of Genesis Family Law is absolutely incredible! She guided me through my case and made it so easy to comprehend all paperwork and material presented. I feel she took the extra mile to ensure I understood my rights and entitlement. She made me comfortable, and at ease. Amy and Genesis Family Law, truly made it feel like a family type environment. I recommended Amy West to anyone in need of legal assistance.

I had a wonderful experience working with Amy Maldonado at Genesis Family Law. She was professional, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. Amy took the time to understand my concerns and provided clear guidance every step of the way. Her dedication is truly evident and I can't recommend Amy enough for anyone in need of family law services.

Amy West was my attorney from 2015-2021. It is impossible to convey how much Amy means to me. She was truly my angel in the most difficult time of my life. She fought hard and never gave up on me and my family. Her kindness and support gave me strength, and truly allowed me to survive some very dark times. I am forever grateful to her. I highly recommend her to family, friends and acquaintances and anyone needing a family law expert. Amy fights hard! She takes the time to answer questions, she listens, and explains processes and what to expect.

Amy West is the lawyer of choice. I've been working with Amy for over 7 years now and she has been an incredible and most invaluable asset I could retain. Amy has and is continuing to help me through a high conflict and difficult co-parenting relationship that has gone back to court.

Amy is direct and up front. I have never once doubted her sincerity or integrity. Many times in court, she has shown how diverse her experience is which always boosts my confidence with my case each time.

Again, I cannot recommend anyone more than Amy West.

Writing this while the emotions are still fresh. Colleen Warren, and her entire team, are the epitome of excellence. She helped craft a very valid and ethically sound argument to help me gain a 50/50 timeshare of my daughter. She was exceptionally prepared in court and was two steps ahead of opposing counsel the whole way through. Thank you, Colleen, for giving me a happiness I haven’t felt in years. My daughter and I owe you forever.

Amy West has represented me since 2017, she has been more than my attorney but she was my families rock. The level of confidence I had knowing she was representing me in every aspect of my case was unmeasurable. I have recommended close friends and family to her and would continue to do so as long as she continues to practice law. Ask for Amy West!
