San Joaquin Family Law

Kendall Ruacho

I recently retained San Joaquin Family Law to represent me in a custody modification. Mr. Bengueral was very helpful in answering any questions I may have had and representing me in our current case. The paralegal, Breanna, was great in answering any questions I had, returning phone calls, and providing me the most up to date information. IHI was not 100% thrilled with the outcome, however due to Covid-19, I had my court date via video conference and it made it a bit difficult to discuss with Me. Bengueral during the hearing to address other issues the previous party had not brought up before this. I do understand this is not his fault and would choose him to represent me again in the future if necessary.

I retained this legal service around Jan of this year (2019). Im going through an ugly divorce with restraining orders filed and everything. My attorney is Jacob and I have to say that I feel respected, as well as innocent in a court world where it automatically makes me the villain when people don't want to take time to learn the "Whole" picture. Never once have I felt anything but confident with Jacob's guidance and the paralegal there, Robert. I feel like I am in an actual position where the courts will listen to my side instead of throwing down the gavel. I hadn't seen my two youngest children since January and about a month ago I was finally granted visits and we got to see a mediator who is making things even better. I highly recommend Jacob, Robert and San Joaquin Family Law.

The decision to divorce in itself is incredibly difficult, but that is just the beginning of the process. Once I made the initial decision, I thought I could handle the divorce process on my own. I couldn't be more incorrect. There were so many factors in the aftermath of just asking for a divorce and custody issues that I wasn't emotionally prepared to handle. I was dealing with a roller coaster of emotions, people (friends and family) counseling and advising me, plus the emotions of my former husband. I realized it was much more than I could handle, and sought the counsel of Jacob Benguerel to lead me through it. From the start, Jacob offered me unbiased advice and guidance; and he made me feel confident and safe when in court. He or his staff have responded promptly to every phone call, text, and email I have sent them. I was able to make payment arrangements when money got tight. He has been my attorney for six years, and will remain so as long as I must make any appearances regarding custody in court. I wouldn't want anyone else representing me. Thank you, SJFL and Jacob Benguerel.

Jacob Benguerel is by far the best attorney around! I unfortunately found myself on the other side of a custody battle that went south. Jacob is the best investment I could have made for my children and their future. Jacob was always available for me to express my concerns or ask my many questions, no matter how petty they may have been. He was able to gently remind me that the children's best interest is the most important part of the big picture and to keep my focus on that. I am grateful that I am able to call him my attorney for the past 3 years and will continue to have him for the next 12 years. I would ABSOLUTELY 100% recommend him to anyone that is in the painful situation of needing his services.
