Distinguished Legal Group APC - Beatriz Pelayo-Garcia

**Client Feedback Summary on Beatriz Pelayo-Garcia:** 1. Beatriz represented our child very well during a challenging custody battle. The court appointed her to represent our daughters best interest. And that’s exactly what she did. Custody battles are always hard and everyone finds them overwhelming. But at the end of the day, it’s the child and what they need. 2. I don't think I could assign zero stars, but if I could, then I would. My experience with this attorney was unsatisfactory. I had paid $5,000, only to be asked for $5,000 to continue delaying my case, then another $5,000. The issue concerning the welfare of my children is serious, police reports show she is abusive. My lawyer felt sorry for her, was worried she was unrepresented but my payments were for dedicated legal service but it looks like they were just delayed tactics. Sometimes, I think my lawyer had somebody else sit for the bar instead of her as I felt more knowledgeable about legal matters. Her language was inappropriate and showed her culture. She asked about my intentions on the children’s education and where they should live with the mother residing in a very challenging area in Compton. After investing $15,000, the other party continues to have advantages at the expense of the children. I suggest you carefully consider the decisions you make because I have gone to the bar association and have started legal processes for defamation against her. I appreciate my new lawyer at Yang Law who has been very supportive and after only two encounters with the judge, I have sole custody, she will attend classes and pay child support. 3. To all women.... domestic violence... calm ... police...strength to go to court or to Free Self-Help... God-given help.. abuse.. unethical.. time waste.. Love 4. Lawyer Beatriz shielded my child from long-standing child abuse at home cloaked in public parental love which is hard to expose. She gives straightforward and accurate legal service, substance, and clarity first. She calls things as they are professionally and truthfully, knowing that a child rights and safety are paramount. No sugarcoating or distortions, just straightforward, clear intelligent advocacy. Her service is not glossy but real, her representation is precise and her reasoning is transparent.5. Ms. Beatriz Pelayo Gracia was appointed to my minor child and later was transferred to Katherine Weaver. Being a parent who was not having custody, it was a hard time to be able not to see your child and also into their life. I couldn't even see how my child was doing during covid. But I felt that they didn't represent my child they were representing the custodial parent. They made it hard for me to get records where I still had legal custody of the child. My child is now eighteen and she still doesn't talk to me because she says that I didn't try to reach her which I did. So if the courts every assign your child to Ms. Beatriz and her staff. Just beware. They will done little to nothing to grant you and child reunification. I also blame Pasadena City Court for how they...
