I've know Stephen now for close to 14 years, professionally. He represented me in my child custody case with my son. Most people have mixed feelings at best about attorneys. I've never regretted my choice to use Hosford & Hosford, and will continue to use them until they close their doors. Fair, quick, painless.. and most importantly my favorite thing about Stephen is he properly set my expectations from day one. When you're in a court case about your family you aren't thinking rationally and calmly. Stephen was a steady hand in that process. Guided me, took the time to explain things and was either always 100% correct, or very close when I pressed him to predict outcomes. These are good people and excellent lawyers. I cannot recommend them enough.

Just starting a process regarding custody of a family member. I'm not a client in the case but an observer and a witness. J Hosford is just one of three attorneys and has been assigned to this case. Though we are still in the investigative and information collecting stage of what will probably be a long process. One thing he said during an appointment I sat in on was "This case is complicated. I am not inclined to fast track it and want to make sure I do the best I can for (my client)". That is all I need to hear to know that there is passion, understanding and consideration behind integrity and professionalism. I don't know what the outcome is going to be and in family court it can often feel like everyone is on the losing end. I do know, however, I want the best council for "my side" of the family and in listening to Mr Hosford, I think we have been blessed to find it. That is not a deal with the devil, that's a mark of a lawyer who still feels his clients are human and not just numbers. Regardless of the outcome, at least with him representing (his clients) best interest, I know his ALL will be given to come up with what is just and fair to meet their needs on the other side.

John Hosford is an amazing attorney. He was the only attorney that fought for me like a tiger and had compassion for what I was going through. The preparation for my trial was so impressive that the Judge gave him a compliment in court. Shelley Huller, the paralegal was so supportive during this stressful time. She was always available to help me with all my questions and concerns to ease me through the entire process. Ami and Jen are super women that help run this busy office. They are always cheerful and beyond considerate. They dealt best they could with my high and low emotions every time I called. Thank you to the best Legal Team I have ever known.

Steve Hosford's expertise and diligence made a significant difference in my divorce experience. I was overwhelmed and had no idea what to do or expect. Steve immediately took comprehensive legal action to assure that my children and I were safe. He patiently explained the legal processes to me and attended to details to assure that all appropriate topics were addressed. I recently contacted him regarding current custody concerns. After almost 10 years, he remembered me and my case. In addition to providing excellent representation, Steve cares about his clients. He is the best!

I was in good professional and friendly hands working with Hosford & Hosford, Inc. on my recent divorce. Valerie Hosford is a capable and knowledgeable lawyer. She is a Tiger in court, it is difficult to find a divorce lawyer who is Gay friendly and understands and accepts the reality of same sex marriage. We were able to mediate the separation without having to go to court for the Judge to decide for us. This firm is expensive, but I feel the expense was well worth it.

Stephen Hosford skillfully, smoothly and calmly guided me and navigated through the divorce with a very successful outcome. Without boring readers with great detail, this divorce was rife with the all-too typical property, finances and other issues encumbered with the standard, vexing animosities. Mr. Hosford asked questions throughout and I asked numerous questions, all extremely vital to any successful business or legal transaction. I asked for clarification sometimes all too frequently and sometimes for what should’ve seemed obvious, as well as the possible consequences for decisions we might’ve made or actions we may’ve taken.

Honestly the best experience with a law firm to date, and unfortunately have experience with plenty so that means a lot. Entire staff is extremely friendly and attentive, from when you walk in and speak to the lovely ladies working the front, to getting paperwork done with the extremely knowledgeable paralegals in the back.
Both Stephan and John helped me out more than I thought possible, to get my kids back, as well as through my divorce. They are busy, but for a reason - they have a lot to do, and know how to do it. Even being busy, I was still able to speak personally with John more than enough to help me feel comfortable and calm in a tense situation, feeling confident that all of Hosford & Hosford was behind me, doing what needed to be done to prepare paperwork and for the trial so that my children could be safe.

Dear Steve Hosford and Staff,
When meeting you at that first conference, I left the office feeling there is someone who truly understands and wants to help in the situation I was confronted with. I was in a state of shock and put into a very dark space.
I have nothing but good things to say to my friends about you and your staff! You have all been so understanding and helpful. In a day and age when customer service is non-existent your staff goes the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and appreciated. Have always felt a feeling of dread when pushing that button to go up to the second floor but when leaving and hitting the button to go down there is a feeling of calm.
You and the staff are more then just a legal office to me. Anyone who wants to ride horse or run some model trains is always welcome at the Obermeyer Ranch.
Taking your advice and traveling. Have been invited to Germany to see some friends who live there and have a barn with horses with a place for me to stay the entire month of May. I will be putting on an equestrian obstacle course clinic for the horse boarders. So this old cowboy will be riding horses in Germany and I guess drinking beer after with a lot of ladies at a barn so my kind of get away!
None of this possible without you and the staff at your office. Thank you so much Steve.

John Hoford did everything right in our child custody case. From the beginning, our family was determined to fight for our kids while remaining always truthful, kind, and reasonable. We refused to stoop to the despicable tactics of the opposing side and were rewarded by getting every single thing we requested for our kids, in a remarkably short amount of time. John used his law expertise but also decency, common sense, and problem-solving to present a holistic and honest analysis to the court while destroying the smoke and mirrors concocted by the opposing side. Thusly, the judge was able to more easily determine the truth and rule accordingly. The big winners are our kids and we feel grateful for John's guidance and relieved that we can now focus fully on our kids--emotionally, physically, and financially. John is a true badass. You will not find a more dedicated, compassionate, family-oriented family law attorney. If you want results, ethically produced, get John on your team, stat!

With Steve and John's guidance, knowledge and professionalism, my family navigated the confusing and overwhelming legal system and WON!!!!

During a contested time with high stress and elevated emotions there is only one thing to put your mind at ease - a professional in your corner that you can implicitly trust.
This was my experience with John Hosford and his staff at Hosford & Hosford. John fought my fight like it was his own and genuinely cared about me and my family. He took a situation that I had deemed impossible, unraveled the chaos and set us on a course that ended in a fair and reasonable reality that I could continue life with. John has unique abilities beyond great legal counsel that allow you to face your situation with confidence.
I would highly recommend Hosford & Hosford for your family legal needs...hands down.

I would definitely recommend John Hosford at Hosford and Hosford. I came to John for my Divorce and Custody issues. This was my first experience obtaining a Lawyer. I had no clue really what my expectation would be for a Lawyer. Since day one he was in my corner fighting for my cause. I can truly say that he had my best interest at heart. He was supportive, honest, fair, with impeccable integrity. He was smart and tactful to overcame the many obstacles in my case. We had to go to court three times before we came to a settlement. Watching John in the court room solidified that I choose the right Lawyer. The staff at Hosford and Hosford was amazing as well. They where friendly and knew my case. Any questions I had they had the answers to or found out for me in a timely manner. Going through such a stressful, emotional experience I could not imagine having another Lawyer than John Hosford.

I highly recommend Mr. John Hosford ESQ without reservation.

Absolutely by far the best law firm in San Luis Obispo County. Between myself and my husband we have used about 8 different law firms for custody/divorce issues in this county. None of them come close to the experience I received at this office. Dealing with custody issues is one of the most gut wrenching scary situations to be in. I have primary custody of my child and was using John Hosford to try and help with a small disagreement between myself and my childs father. Out of the blue I was served with papers to try and take primary custody away. Needless to say this small disagreement turned into a full on battle and I sure as hell picked the right attorney to lead me through this. I can't say enough wonderful things about all of the staff at this office. Seth, Ami, Jennifer....Everyone knew my name, my case, court dates, items that we were still trying to collect. I was overwhelmed with the amount of support and calls I received to help me track down information and keep me posted on the case. As I said dealing with custody issues can be very scary and the worst is when you have an attorney that doesn't take your case as anything more then a job and rarely gives you updates. One thing I can guarantee is that John and his staff take your case very seriously and have an emotional investment in the outcome. I have never used an attorney I knew cared about myself my child and making sure he did what was right. I can count a handful of times through this long process that I received a call from John on his cell phone leaving the courthouse because he couldn't wait to tell me about the outcome. I can promise you absolutely will not find another attorney that cares this much about you. My Case recently has come to an end and I can not have asked for a better outcome. All the points that John and I discussed in the very beginning as being important issues were not only met but ended up exceeding my original request. My son is still with me and all our financial issues were fixed. You definitely can not complain when you end up in a better situation then before all this started!! However, I want to make it very clear that even if I would not have received the amazing outcome i did my review of this firm would still be the same. I can say with 110% certainty that this office did absolutely everything they could for me and I could not have asked for anything more.

Where to begin. Well lets start first with a BIG THANK YOU to Mr. Stephen Hosford, our attorney. A BIG THANK YOU to the staff, Ami, Seth, and now Lindsey! I'm sorry to those of you that Im not sure of your names, but I greatly THANK YOU as well for your time and efforts in helping with our case. To me you all are truly angels on earth, people who care and understand!
I contacted Hosford&Hosford in regards to custody of my daughter. I had been served paperwork by the opposing party, of course full of a litany of lies to build their false case. I had actually tried to hire two other attorneys before finding Hosford family law. I had never needed an attorney before and had no idea where to begin, so I began contacting every family law firm that I could.
The other two attorneys I had tried hiring were not promising, after one phone call to one of the two other attorneys, I cried for two hours after being told that basically in order to keep custody of my daughter I would have to put her on the stand, she is only 8. There's much more to all of that but I wont bore you with the details.
I called Hosford family law, at my wits end, in dire need of an attorney who actually CARED about my case and my daughters BEST INTERESTS. Unfortunately I sprang this on them last minute. When I called Ami answered, what an amazing woman! She greatly calmed me and put me at ease, letting me know they could definitely take our case and not to worry. I still worried, this was one of the most gut wrenching ordeals our family has ever been through. The other two attorneys I tried were only looking at our case as their next paycheck in my opinion. They had no interest in the time my daughter has been in my custody (her entire life). They didn't care what would be in her best interest, they didn't ask the basic necessary questions. Those basic necessary and completely valid questions were asked over the phone by Ami before I ever met with Mr. Hosford. Once I met with him we dove into the details, and he assured me that her best interests would be kept, they were!
After meeting with Mr. Hosford, I had more peace but still was uneasy due to the case in its entirety. The staff worked quickly and efficiently to make sure all the necessary paperwork was in place and the case was ready for court.
Mr. Hosford had given me an idea of how he believed things would be handled by the judge, multiple scenarios and prepared us for all outcomes possible.
I'm happy to say it went even better than he had stated. We all were able to come to an agreement so that we could all move forward in the best interest of our daughter. I know for a fact had I had any other attorney I wouldn't have had the same outcome. If you are in need of an attorney, and not just any attorney, but an attorney that truly cares about you, your family, and your case on more than a business level, this is who you want!
For me being a single parent on a limited income it was difficult for me to come up with any funds for an attorney, however we made it happen! It was worth every penny and as I told Hosford family law you can't put a price on saving your child, I don't care what the cost would've ended up being because they are worth their weight in gold. If I ever need an attorney for family law again I will be using Hosford family law. I recommend them to anyone that has to go through anything family law related. You will not be disappointed, you will not be let down. I chose them as our law firm after reading the reviews here and elsewhere. So I'd also like to thank those of you that also reviewed. Had I not read those reviews I'm not sure I would have found Hosford family law, or considered them. So I greatly appreciate you all as well for sharing your experience.

I retained the services of Hosford & Hosford to help with a divorce that had gotten much more complicated than I had originally expected. Finding an attorney was a very intimidating process. I had never hired one before, and had no idea where to start or who to trust. I found it difficult to find good information online, and I was reluctant to ask too many of my friends, as I considered it a personal matter.
I picked Hosford & Hosford originally because they had had a long history in the area, and as a local, that made me more comfortable. I wanted to hire someone who was familiar with the local court system, and who knew all of the people involved (clerks, judges, etc.). I almost didn't consult with them at all because I would have to pay for the initial consultation. There were a lot of lawyer ads that offered free initial consultations. But it wasn't that much, and I knew that I was in over my head. Even if I wasn't going to retain them, I knew I could use some good, honest direction. That is exactly what I got.
I was represented by John Hosford, and from the very first meeting, I felt like he took my issues seriously. I knew right away that I was going to have an advocate. Not just someone who would help me get through the process, but someone who was going to fight for me. He immediately obtained my records, assessed my situation, and started moving to protect me. He led me through the entire process, answering any questions I had, and giving me some great financial management advice along the way.
Ami was my main point of contact with their office, and I didn't have a single question or request that didn't get handled immediately. She was always super friendly and professional.
Overall, I had a great experience with Hosford & Hosford, and would wholeheartedly recommend them. The divorce was not fun in any way, but they made it a great deal less painful for me, and I forever grateful.

When i filed for a divorce in 1984 several years later i found to my surprise that there were a couple of things that weren't taken care of. I told a relative of mine I was having a problem with my ex, and needed to see a lawyer. He told me he had a great lawyer by the name of Steve Hosford. This was in 1997; I went to him and hired him. What he did for me on my Government pension was great. I have to say that he really works hard for you, has a wonderful staff and wife, and is always pleasant and kind, through the years I have sent people, which I have worked with, to Steve. They all have been very satisfied.
Anytime I needed a question or guidance I can call Steve and he suggest to me what to do. About two years ago, I needed an immigration lawyer here in Orange County for a friend. He gave me the name and we later hired him. We were very pleased on how everything worked out.
I called Steve about three weeks ago here in Orange County to see about getting a consultation for my son In a divorce matter. I was not aware that he had finally moved to San Luis Obispo. The receptionist that answered remembered me and put me through to Steve. Like always, he was there to help guide me through. He gave me a lawyer down here to have my son go to. My son was very pleased with his lawyer and hired her immediately.
Through the twenty-one years of !mowing Steve and his wife they have both been very helpful, kind, and will always be there for you.
Thank you Steve for being a great friend and a wonderful lawyer.

Valerie,
I must tell you something and I hope it’s not too awfully late.
I am just now appreciating the work you’ve done for me and apologized for this late thank you.
I’m sure that I thanked you for all you’ve done but I also know that I didn’t understand the depth of it.
My head was in a cloud of numbers, expenses and fears about what would become of my financial security
over the course of ALL of last year. I was just grateful to have the settlement done and over with this year.
Today I spent a great deal of time reading through documents, charts and letters from you and the opposing counsel.
Of course I did read these things as they came through but as I said, I was in cloud of angst and fear.
The reason I was going through these 5 inches of paperwork that I have, is that I was looking for the expense declaration
and all details that related to my future so that I could compile it into a very concise and accurate declaration for my
financial planner.
I read through some of these letters with a better understanding and I see how diligent and staunch you were in your
