Coming from someone who has already had representation and knows what is it our there in terms of retaining counsel, I just received more time, attention, and useful information from Franz in a one hour phone call than I did in 6 months with my previous counsel. This man is a saint, genuinely cares, and is doing this for the right reasons. We need more Franz’s in the world. Also, his receptionist is very nice… 😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Highly recommend Cobos Law Firm / Mr. Cobos** I hired Mr. Cobos in July of last year to help me with a child custody case and divorce. From the beginning, he was straightforward and honest about what to expect—he told me the process would likely take about a year, and that’s exactly how it played out. After my hearing with the judge yesterday, I genuinely feel like I’m headed toward a favorable outcome, and I’m very grateful for Mr. Cobos’ guidance and support throughout the entire process. He helped me stay focused, informed, and prepared during a stressful time. If you’re looking for an attorney who is realistic, professional, and supportive, I strongly recommend Cobos Law Firm.

Mr. Cobos successfully defended us in a very sensitive absentee grandparent/sibling rights case that had no merit. We found the office staff to be knowledgeable and professional. Although they weren't the best at providing case updates unprompted, they were responsive to all our inquiries and always competent. Mr. Cobos was accessible and personally provided clarification and reassurance when needed. His knowledge of case law and experience in family law dynamics and navigation of various relevant agencies is an asset. Mr. Cobos not only won our case, he defended us with compassion and integrity. We would recommend.

I had a great experience working with Mr. Cobos during my family court case. It was a very stressful process, especially with the possibility of a 50/50 custody outcome, but he stood by me every step of the way. He reassured me when I needed it most and stayed confident in the outcome he was working toward. What I appreciated the most is that he delivered exactly what he promised, a win. He is extremely smart, honest, and truly trustworthy, which made a huge difference during such an emotional time. I highly recommend Mr. Cobos to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated lawyer. You won’t regret having him on your side.

I highly recommend my divorce attorney for their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication throughout my case. From the beginning, they were responsive, patient, and took the time to explain every step of the process clearly. Divorce can be stressful and emotional, but they handled my case with compassion while also advocating strongly on my behalf. I always felt informed, respected, and confident that my concerns were being heard. Their attention to detail and commitment to achieving a fair outcome truly made a difference. I appreciate all of their hard work and support during such an important time in my life. Thank you again for your excellent representation.
