I am still lafrance’s client of record. I went to lafrance’s off on June 16th 2021. When I first met him, my first impression was…wow! This man has a pony tail? I guess he is stuck in the 70s. I still retained him and did not care so much how ridiculous he looked and unprofessional he looked because I was desperate for an attorney to represent me in my divorce. Then, started exalting himself saying…we are the best and we are well-known in Santa Clarita. I was impressed but not knowing how deceiving he really was going to be with me. He got paid $6,000 a retainer and the only thing he ever did for me was answer my emails of two months and he never wrote any proposals regarding my divorce at all. When I asked him questions regarding my divorce and if he had negotiated anything with opposing counsel. He would answered by…”Have you given me everything regarding your divorce “? I was like…what?! I said…I provided everything to you. Are you even reading any of the documents that I had provided to you? I started wondering if he was actually a great attorney as he was claimed to be when we first met in office? Then, one day he sent me an invoice in which it showed that he had deducted $2,165.00 from the $6,000 retainer? I told him that I did not agreed to this? Because the Board of Attorneys especially says that if a client has an issue with the bill, to try to resolve it with the attorney. This is exactly what I did. I told him that I did not agreed that he was deducting $2,165.00 from the $6,000 retainer? Because he was basically charging me for all the emails that I sent him,. He did not do any actual paperwork to help me settle my divorce? Then, he yelled at me over the phone saying that he did not want me to go to his office to pick up all my divorce documents and this way I could go find another attorney? He basically kept my $6,000 retainer without actually doing anything at all? He was very rude towards me and would interrupt me every time I would speak. I told him if he would allow me to speak? He would continue interrupting still. I told him that I lived 35 years of verbal and physical abuse at the hands of my abuser soon to be ex-husband.
This attorney’s advice was to do anything you can to save your marriage. I took that advice after paying a retainer. Little to nothing was done for my case, just a few phone calls. When I explained that we were going to try to work it out I was refunded half of my retainer. $1750 for a few phone calls. Jonathon explained to me in the future if it can’t be saved to call him and he would pick up where we left off. I was prepared to pay back half of the retainer and move forward with the case.
Attorney Jonathan la France did a great job defending me in a civil suit filed by my next-door neighbor in city of Malibu. As I was building my new ocean view home. The next neighbor filed a civil lawsuit to stop me from building my home. My neighbor felt that my house would block a small portion of his view. I had an approved set of plans stamp by the city of Malibu to build. The lawsuit was extraordinarily complex regarding lot lines, surveying, ancient landslides and lot line markers. Special surveyors had to be hired to be mitigate property lines. Mr La France and his team work extremely hard, day and night even weekends to get paperwork filed with the courts on time. Mr La France determination and attention to details resulted in the dismissal of the restraining order. This resulted in money saved and a brand-new home.
