The Fair Cadora team is an outstanding support and counsel to have during a family law situation. When I was blindsided by my partner’s actions and decisions, Megan and her team were there to walk me through the complexities of California family law. They were transparent, diligent, sensible, well-informed, and tenacious. They showed compassion when I needed it, and understood the fragility of the experience for me while keeping me focused on the legal avenues we had available. Their communication was always prompt and detailed, and Megan was very well prepared for our court appearance. Overall

This was my first time ever having to use a law office, and I consider myself very lucky to have hired Lauren Fair. She really showed that my best interest was top priority. She took the time to explain things clearly and to make sure I understood what was at stake and how to keep in mind the past, present, and future. I felt very comfortable speaking with her and never felt rushed. Her and her team (Jorah) were very quick to respond, polite, and professional. True class acts. I highly recommend her services. After the first counsel you’ll know and feel exactly what I am talking about.

This was my first time ever needing a lawyer service, and I couldn't be happier about how it all went. From the first counsel I knew Lauren Fair was the right lawyer for my needs. I called a different lawyer before I called Lauren and it was an uncomfortable experience. The first lawyer I called was rude, pushy, and made it feel like I was wasting his time. With Lauren Fair it was the complete opposite. She took the time to explain things to me and made sure I understood. She made the experience a great one. I highly recommend her law firm. You will feel you are top priority with her and she

I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients

I have worked with a few different lawyers so I have an idea of how they operate. I have been working with Attorney Lindsay Sudman for a while now and I am very happy with her. She is to the point and very fair with pricing. Attorney Sudman is not out to get every last dime out of you during tough times, as many lawyers can seem to be. She is also very professional, and at my last hearing even the judge proclaimed that my lawyer did great work. I would definitely recommend looking into this firm when looking for a lawyer.

Kevin and his team are very genuine and caring. They genuinely want to see both parties come to an agreement that benefits both sides. I would highly recommend them and their practice to anyone having difficulties either coming to an agreement or needing to separate. Thank you Kevin and team for being the diamond in the rough when it comes to this sensitive subject.

Kevin and the firm in general do an excellent job at putting the client at ease. They seem to understand how stressful dealing with the court system can be. I retained them and they were quick to represent me. Although I eventually ended up settling my legal matter myself, Keven was prepared to do what was needed to get the outcome I wanted.
The reason I knocked a star off is because the initial cost estimate they gave me was way off. My matter was settled months ago and today I get another bill... I shudder to think how much more I would have spent had I not settled with the opposing party

Family law situations I'm sure are never pleasant and we had a particularly unique one. Lauren was professional, sharp, knowledgeable and definitely made me feel at ease knowing that my case was being worked on efficiently and with clear communication. She empathized and knew how sensitive the situation was for me and worked diligently to ensure we were ready for the hearing.

I will never be able to convey how wonderful my experience was with this firm. Lauren Fair was my attorney and represented me in one of the most difficult situations of my life.
I was married for 2 1/2 years. The dissolution took almost 3. During my short term marriage we purchased 7 properties together in St Louis. I left my life in SD to set a business up in St Louis.
When my ex husband filed for divorce he decided I was not entitled to anything because he was the primary income earner. Contrary to community property law he worked every day take everything we built together.

This review is long over due. I am very thankful to Lauren Fair. I was her client back in 2012. I was having difficult time with my daughter’s father. I seen about 7 different lawyers but the moment I went into consultation with her I felt at ease and relieved that finally someone is willing to listen and understand. I didn’t have much money, I even lost my apartment in order to retain her services. My child and I were legit homeless. She is compassionate and willing to go out and above for her client. I am truly grateful. She got it done in one go. No headache or mess for me. I had a smooth

There are no words to express how thankful I am to have been referred to Kevin Cadora! From beginning to end Kevin was there every step of the way. He kept me informed during the entire process and provided support that I needed the most. He made me feel confident that we could get through this process together and as peacefully as possible.

I found myself in need of a reliable family lawyer to deal with a custody case. Lauren and the team were absolutely reliable. Very competent and compassionate too. She was always available and walked me through the entire complexities of the process. In the end, I got the custody I wanted and I could not have done it without their expert guidance. I can't recommend her more highly.

I'm sad to hear about attorney Jennifer Irvine. I'm sorry I'm posting this and you may delete it, but my heart goes out to her family, and her coworkers that had a great team having Jennifer Irvine. I'm devastated and praying. I myself went to school for criminal justice, so this hits me hard. Rest in peace Jennifer Irvine. You are not a number. You will be missed. I'm so sad to hear the passing of such a gregarious and generous human being. May God be with you, your family, and colleagues. Pray for Las Vegas and our San Diego native Jennifer Irvine. Thank you!

Kevin is an excellent attorney who treated my case with great professionalism and humanity. This firm is a team; as his client, I felt my case was always a priority to all involved. Going through a divorce is one of the most horrific experiences; however, having representation that you can trust makes a profound difference. Kevin and his office worked diligently to keep my case on track, my children protected, and my future worth looking forward to. Honestly, I don't have the proper words to express my gratitude and respect towards FairCadora. They are a family law firm that focuses on integrity

Over the past one year, I worked with Ms. Fair and Mr Cadora for consultation in a divorce matter, and later, representation in a DV restraining order hearing. I have found them to be very passionate, responsive, and patiently addressed all of my concerns. I also worked with Ms. Jennifer Irvine and Ms. Tony Haro during this time, and both of whom were also very competent and helped in bringing a satisfactory conclusion to the DV hearing. I highly recommend the team at Fair Cadora.

As Secretary Treasurer, I have had the opportunity to get to know Kevin as the Vice President of our networking group over the past few months and find him to be a very competent, organized and professional person. What I learned about his practice is that having a level of care for each type of situation a relationship may be going through from simple peaceful dissolution to complicated court proceedings allows him to be more compelling to his client's needs. Kevin and his partner Lauren provide a calming environment which helps to diminish the stresses of divorce. I highly recommend Kevin

I would highly recommend Kevin Cadora for any divorce or family law matters. As an attorney, I have seen the devastating effects a divorce can have, not only financially, but personally. Kevin provides caring and compassionate legal advice. Divorce laws are complicated and vary by jurisdiction. I continually use Kevin as a resource because of his expertise in California divorce law. If you want a knowledgeable divorce attorney that is experienced and knows how to work with people, call Kevin Cadora.
