100% this guy is scam

He stole about 3k from me for filing and such that he didn't perform

This guy is pure evil, DO NOT SEEK HIS SERVICES.
He convinced me to use one of his blank checks to pay for my legal form fees considering I don't use checks and he said "cashier's checks"are unsafe, So I pay him $1,300 dollars so he can send his checks and guess what? All my documentation gets rejected, There was no funds to the checks. He literally is flaying with people's freedom and legality by being a horrible human being, on top of everything, he'll literally blame it on his ex wife, saying she stole the money.

I honestly think it's fake and he does this to plenty of people.
I've already filed a lawsuit against him, anyone that went through this, please do the same!

Joseph Francis Araneta, all have said is basically a piece of crap! He would lie, steal and fraud. I wish they would put him in jail.

Yes. This Joseph Francis Araneta is a scam artist! He would lie and cheat!

I was searching online for a paralegal to file paperwork with the Los Angeles County Family Court and came across and subsequently emailed the business listed in this report. I was quickly contacted by a man named Joseph Francis Araneta who said for $350 plus and additional court filing fee of $435 he would have the paperwork filed immediately. He sent me an invoice via PayPal through an intermediary called ASAP Legal Services. I submitted payment in full on November 27th, notified him right away, and he replied via text that he would file the next day. He has not done so and after multiple phone calls and texts demanding that he follow through with his business obligation, he finally told me that he is experiencing personal problems and will file when he's able to and that there is no need for me to follow up again. I demanded a full refund at that point and he has not responded since. After digging into his business and reading his online reviews it became abundantly clear that he has been running this scam since at least 2015, perhaps earlier. I am planning on filing criminal charges next week and would truly appreciate any assistance you can provide.
