De Ita & Lowe, LLP

I highly, HIGHLY recommend De Ita & Lowe, LLP!
I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Kristina Lee, and she was nothing short of AMAZING! After consulting with Nancy De Ita on a few occasions, she suggested that I speak with her associate, Kristina.
Kristina and I hit it off, and she exceeded my expectations with her excellent communication and eagerness to assist! Kristina Lee is extremely professional and put an enormous amount of time and effort towards my case, resulting in the best possible outcome. I am truly grateful for Kristina’s patience, attention to detail, and willingness to do whatever was needed to finalize my case while keeping MY best interest in mind.
I am forever grateful for getting connected with Kristina Lee, and give her my HIGHEST recommendation! Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had her and her firm represent me! Simply flawless…

I have referred family law clients to Nancy for representation and/​or legal advice for over 20 years. Recently, I saw a client who had just come from her appointment with Nancy and she described her experience saying this: (Nancy was calm and supportive. She listened and immediately understood my situation and provided a wealth of legal advice. I went in feeling helpless and left feeling empowered!). This is the kind of feedback I hear over and over again and why I’m happy to continue to recommend Nancy De Ita.

Nancy was the 5^th lawyer with whom I had an initial consultation. I knew almost instantly that she was the one to help me navigate my divorce process. She is an exceptional mix of experienced, intelligent, action-​oriented, direct and empathetic. My process was recently completed and I’m so grateful for Nancy’s counsel and stewardship.
Among what I appreciated most about Nancy:
— She has 30 years of experience in San Mateo County. She knows the system, the judges and the other family law attorneys. There were multiple times that this knowledge helped improve my decisions and process.
— She was a great advisor and sounding board for how to play out the terms negotiation. She asked me what I valued most and then helped me build a strategy on how to maximize my outcome.
— She was always responsive and direct. When I asked her questions between appointments, she would get back to me promptly and provide open, honest and direct feedback. This prevented me from making multiple mistakes
— She was empathetic at the right level. I feel like she genuinely cared about me as a person and I found her to be a very a calming, positive influence to help me through an awful process.
— She listened. I found some other lawyers to be very controlling of the process. Nancy was the right balance of advocating an approach but being open to my questions and suggestions.
— She was a careful steward of my money. Divorce is painful financially. Nancy was fair in her billings and she was very efficient in how we used our time together.
I recommend Nancy with my highest level of enthusiasm and appreciation.

I met with a number of divorce attorneys, but when i met Nancy last July, i knew she would be the one lawyer who would help me get through a tough divorce. i won’t add details but Nancy managed my case with such professionalism and poise all through the drama and difficulties. she remained calm when i was not and she never added to the drama. she helped guide me through the process and her experience and style were commendable. I would highly recommend selecting Nancy as your divorce attorney. Experience does matter and she brings plenty to the table

She listen to my pain, the discrimination, abuse of power, unethical conduct of lawyer and judges in Santa Clara in my case. She stated she is member of Bar Association and I believe she is capable to help to write letter which I was asking for. I believe she can represent abuse woman and therefore help other but I was wrong. She turn me down. I found out yesterday that my trial attorney S.L.Lapin 165 919 was disbarred thank to GOD for answering my prayers.

My extended family lost its patriarch last year, leaving no will, no plans for custody of his two granddaughters he was raising alone, and a pile of debt.
I reached out to Nancy for a referral to low-​cost legal help, several times, for several reasons. Each time, despite her busy schedule, she offered to help.
My extended family members needed to call her only once, for probate advice, and she graciously gave him the referral he needed. It was a huge relief to learn the estate did not have to go through probate.
A year later, my family is no longer in crisis. Thanks in part to Nancy’s assistance, the sisters are still together, in a stable home situation, and thriving.
We are so grateful for Nancy’s kind heart and her responsiveness in our time of need.

Nancy was my daughter’s 3^rd lawyer. First lawyer had a conflict of interest so withdrew, second lawyer was fired within a week or two. We then interviewed 2 lawyers and very luckily hired no-​nonsense Nancy. With her experience she was able to guide, coach, and support my daughter through this very painful process. Her ex was a contractor (able to hide income since he worked for cash), meth user, squatted in the family home for 6 months without paying any bills, etc. etc. while she and her 2 young children bounced around in temporary housing — motels and the last 2 months in an apartment. (We had son from ex-husband’s first marriage to keep him out of foster care because son couldn’t live with dad due to physical violence and we just didn’t have room for everybody.) Nancy continually kept her focused and was very direct — what was realistic and what she had to let go. She wanted to go back to the stability of the family home with the kids and save the house since it was then in foreclosure, have custody of the kids and keep her teacher’s retirement account. Yes, she gave up ‘stuff,’ but kept the important things of her life: the kids, her home and her retirement account. As much as my daughter hated shelling out spousal support for this abusive, drug abusing, dead beat dad, Nancy insisted on following the orders of the court. My daughter now has full legal and physical custody of her 2 young children. Throughout this 2 year ordeal Nancy was always available — even one Sunday afternoon for prepping, responsive, professional, and plain old decent person. I highly, highly recommend Nancy (and her staff) as a family lawyer.

i had a bitter custody/​reunification case with my ex wife. i had gone out of my way through a series of bad choices to alienate my daughter from me. needless to say, nancy had her work cut out for her.
i would call nancy when i was angry and hostile. she would not let me rant endlessly. instead, she would gently terminate the conversation rather than bill me for an overpriced therapy session. opposing counsel did everything she could to drag the case out and run up exorbitant fees, but nancy kept her in check.
through her patient counsel, i was able to see my daughter once again after ten years, and begin a full healing of our relationship. i no longer require nancy’s counsel, but i call her and send photos of every visit because i am overwhelmed by gratitude for her assistance.
understanding, professional, ethical… these are some words i would use to describe nancy’s approach to family law. she was my third attorney on this case, and her integrity and commitment to her client’s well being is without parallel.

I am very happy with Nancy, I was referred over to her for a family law case and one thing that I can say she has that my other 2 attorneys didn’t is that she is very caring and really makes every effort to win the case and puts money aside. She is very prompt with e-​mails and phone calls its amazing! I also like her positive attitude and her loving heart. She also keeps me informed on my charges so that this way I don’t get any surprises. Five stars all the way!

completely unhappy!!! i looked for an attorney with a great deal of experience. great Nancy had it! but when it came down to the way my case was represented im 100% unhappy. i needed legal representation for a custody case where my kids father was trying to get 100 custody. every time i came to meet her, she’d ask me to remind her about my case. my paperwork consisted of jotted notes in a tiny manila folder. no label? i worked for several law firms, never had i seen an attorney handle any case like this. they knew their clients! i have also been represented by several lawyers and they knew the ins and outs of my case. when you seek legal representation, you want someone who’s going to go to bat for you and know how to handle every pitch. if that’s what you want, then keep looking!
i won, on obvious grounds to the judge. i would have won without her. thank God i had legal insurance and didn’t have to pay for the poor services i received.
this is MY opinion on my experience.

I am pleased to recommend Nancy De Ita as an attorney.
Nancy provides thorough, knowledgeable, detail oriented work that is backed by years of legal experience. She has a thorough and disciplined mind and an amazing eye for detail.
A former President of the San Mateo Bar Association, she is fair minded and compassionate with a passion for the law and how it should be used.
Her advice saved me a lot of money and gave me complete confidence that my case was in good hands.
You cannot go wrong with this lawyer.
