Pricing was fair. All documents were filed in a timely manner. Had some documents that Mark walked me through filling out correctly. Would recommend and use again.
Mark is by far the most intelligent professional I have ever met. He handled my divorce as well as my custody related cases. He was always available when I had questions and/or concerns related to my case and worked through different case scenarios to establish the best possible outcome for my family. I truly appreciate his honesty, genuine passion for advocacy, his knowledge and expertise very much. Every person that I have referred has been just as pleased with his services. I highly recommend Berkeley LDA Services without hesitation.

Terrible service. Dont waste your time, Mark wated 5 months of my time and he never responds on his cell phone. GUESS WHAT? He served my wife divorce papers via email who does that ? I would rather pay 5k for legit lawyer rather than Mark that doesnt know NOTHING. Zero Stars

Sorry to have to say that the treatment by Berkeley LDA Services was not what I expected. It seems to be that some clients get better treatment than others. Here is my story: I picked this Company from a Google search on the Internet for a Chinese friend who asked me for help with his divorce. The fee to be paid upfront was higher than advertised, which was ok with my friend, because he was impressed with the office and location, and he thought that he would get excellent service. The whole process was like pulling teeth. Mark Kizer did not seem to like the fact that he had to deal with me as an intermediary. I had to constantly ask for update information which I needed to pass on to my friend and his family. When I complained, Mr. Kizer's answer was defensive. After the divorce was granted , we were emailed a copy of the docket with a note that we would have to apply for the official divorce document ourselves. I wrote an email asking for his help by emailing me the correct address of the Superior Court to which to send the application for a copy of the official document. Mr. Kizer never deemed it necessary to reply. I cannot recommend LDA Services. There are better and less expensive legal advice services available in all areas. Buyer beware.

Mark has been a life saver, taking total professional care in successfully working with me on several legal issues. Save yourself time and money call Mark.

I cannot say enough good things about this service. I had been in family court for more than 3 years and absolutely nothing was getting done. My legal fees were ridiculous and I was getting desperate. A friend of mine recommended Mark and after talking with him at length I knew he was the guy for the job. Working together I was able to successfully negotiate a settlement and wrap up my case in just a few weeks. I cannot thank Mark enough and I highly recommend this service to anyone.

Mark was excellent at filling and filing my paperwork for my divorce. I could not afford a lawyer and went with Mark to file the necessary paperwork. I won everything I asked for and got my divorce finalized and airtight. Thank you to Mark for his firms help and saving me thousands of dollars. Very professional.

Mark is an expert at what he does. He did all the paperwork and walked me through this process. He's also caring and compassionate. Couldn't have asked for a better person to handle my divorce.

Mark is helping me with probate for 99 year old mother being isolated and bullied by family member. Most lawyers representing the elderly don’t want to bother with these probate cases. We are at the beginning but I can tell that he has compassion for the family and an expertise for any kind of case he’s given. He cares and makes family feel like they are in good hands. Thank you Mark

I have worked with Mark for about two years on a probate case. All though the process of probate is not a simple quick task Mark has always been professional and kind. If I needed documents, I asked and I received. He certainly knows what documents you need to get you through the process.

Let me start be saying how satisfied I am with Marks work. Through the whole process (which only took about five months) he was always in contact with me letting me know the status of my divorce. He helped me with whatever papers needed to be filled out and guided me through the whole process set by step. I’m amazed at how fast and affordable the services provided to me were. I will 100 percent recommend his service to anyone who is in a situation like I was or similar. Thank you so much mark for your efforts, If need be I will definitely work with you again.

I had previously hired another company for my divorce and they kept messing up my papers. Uggh! My papers were rejected by the court at least three times so I gave up on them. I found Berkeley LDA Services on Google and decided to try them. We met at their Costa Mesa office and they quickly analyzed my case. They actually found many mistakes that my previous service made that I wasn't even aware of! The papers were fixed and resubmitted to the court and the papers were quickly approved. Mark Kizer was especially amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and caring. All the staff were very helpful and sympathetic to my frustrations with my prior service. Thank you guys for getting me through this, I highly recommend!

Mark and his staff deserve more than 5 stars IMO. I found this service on Google and they have exceeded my expectations. Mark is easy to work with gets back to me right away. I had an extremely bad experience with a previous lawyer who messed up my case and cost me a fortune. Mark helped me through a tricky divorce case and I was able to settle without going to trial. Now I can live a normal life. I hope I don't need his assistance again but if I do I will be using Mark and his assistants. I HIGHLY recommend this service to ANYONE.

I was referred to Mark from a friend whom he advised during her divorce. I already had an attorney presenting me, but associates I was dealing with made me feel more vulnerable than uplifting and positive through an emotional process. I met with Mark for a consult, and after talking with him, decided to drop my attorney... Not only is Mark knowledgable than most legal professionals, also helpful and very educating with thorough detail of explanation. I highly recommend Mark as your legal advisor.

You will need to pay everything up front with no refund after 24 hours. This is a rip off. I paid $1,925.00 for about $300.00 of actual services rendered.

More on this as soon as I have time. . .
Mark Kizer was literally FANTASTIC in helping me with some recent legal work I needed to submit. No joke, he was more knowledgable than some (really high priced) attorneys I've used in the past. If you EVER need legal documents completed at lightening fast pace with complete confidence no forms will be missing (so easy to do when trying to represent yourself) this is the place to go. I did my research online to find his services & went through sooo many calls & sensed only the hate & switch coming. Not here. From the very moment I spoke with Mark, everything was so straightforward, honest & he can even crack a joke all the while, just making you KNOW (not just feel) that he KNOWS his stuff. A fraction of the price you'd spend with an attorney. I'd even suggest (if you have a bigger issue or are even currently working w/ an attorney) that you have Mark do the legal doc prepping & only pay the big $$ for when the lawyer is absolutely necessary. Can't say enough about this business, Mark's knowledge & work ethic and just the overall experience I had with the services. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
