They did a great job with my divorce. They really worked hard to keep drama at a minimum. I feel like they had the best interest of my kid and mind and advised me fully on all of my options. They managed my ex well even though he did not have representation. Also, they navigated COVID with great communication.

Thank you Puja, Andrella and Eloisa for being professional, reliable and knowledgeable in helping me to get to a peaceful place about my divorce. A divorce is never an ideal situation and these ladies understand this well. They are consistently available, efficient and represented my interest well at every hearing. They are proactive in their approach in checking for new filings so there are never any surprises at the hearings. These ladies go above and beyond to make things easy for me during that challenging time. I highly recommended Sachdev Legal Group as their expertise and professionalism is unmatched. Love these ladies. Thank you for everything.

Sachdev Legal Group made my divorce as easy and painless as possible and was so professional and outstanding through the whole process. I first contacted Puja for a consultation when I was considering filing and she provided sound advice that proved extremely helpful when initially filing. The whole team at the practice was knowledgeable, patient, and extremely responsive through all the paperwork and the entire divorce. One way the team went above and beyond was to send cards or emails with their business updates and words of encouragement during COVID when the courts closed down. I thought this was a wonderful extra thing to keep spirits up during a difficult time. I would absolutely work with Sachdev Legal Group again and would strongly recommend them to anyone in need of Family Law assistance.

I reached out to the Sachdev legal group for resolving a messy situation. Any situation that requires you to hire attorneys is an emotionally charged situation making it challenging to see clearly. The paperwork is daunting and it takes time to understand the terms. My case was no exception at the very least. While Andrella and Puja handled the case and often guided me. Eloisa was my interface into the firm. She deftly managed my paper work and answered all my never ending questions. Eloisa translated legal terminology and requirements in simple terms. More than anything the entire firm was respectful, patient, and a beacon of tranquility in a bad situation. If you find yourself in a situation where you need lawyers I strongly urge you to give Sachdev Legal group a call.

First, Thank you to both attorneys Andrella Gonzalez and Puja sachdev for helping me and standing up to my ex husband. Second Thank you Eloisa Rodriguez for taking my calls with a smile and being best at your profession. The entire team was extraordinary knowledgeable with my divorce case. Also Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa cared and I felt thier sincerity towards me when I was emotionally not doing well. My Ex husband goal was to destroy me emotionally and to drag me in court to not sell the house....etc but at the end Andrella Gonzalez @Sachdev legal group got me everything and helped me to get through the divorce and still on my side incase my ex wants to retaliate. I felt the office charges ???? were reasonable for the work that they had to put into my case, worth every penny. They are the best divorce attorneys can anyone have and I felt blessed to have them as my attorneys ????????. Thank you again Andrella Gonzalez and Puja, and Eloisa. Amal

Is not worth it.you would gr any helpers.just waste your money and time .No body care about your case. Find some where else. But is not here. You will like me . Spend a lot money ????????. Is nothing worth it.you will lose you case and your Money's.

I highly recommend Tara Yelman and her team. I used Yelman & Associates in my divorce. She was ethical, provided outstanding advice through this trying time, and I found her billing to be transparent and highly efficient. I found her to always be better prepared than her opposing counsel. She was always the one to recommend creative ways to resolve negotiation sticking points. And her knowledge of the law and judicial procedure in court was outstanding -- helping to shorten the process and work with me and my ex to find solutions that worked for both of us. Even after the proceedings, she has provided ongoing guidance for how to manage the issues that pop up post divorce -- which has been crucial in helping my family move on from the process. Again, I highly recommend.

Hands down all the way for Tara Yelman. She was g-d sent. A true attorney who wants the best for their client. I've met with other lawyers prior to retaining her. There are a lot of attorneys who are just there for your money and don't want to work hard including after hours, holidays, weekends. They just want to settle and take the easy way out. Unlike, Tara she put her 110% into your case and her expert advice is incredible. She's worth every PENNY! She works nights, weekends and even holidays if there is something serious. Remember folks, stuff happens when its after "office hours" or you get served for an Emergency hearing on Friday at 4 pm to appear in court on Monday or Tuesday morning. You have to be ready for whatever comes your way! Tara ,you are the best including your right hand Geoff and others!!

I went through a "very challenging" divorce with 4 children that kept me in court for a decade on and off. I used another firm with two different lawyers and was able to measure how effective they were as compared with Sara @ Yelman. Without hesitation, I can say Sara and her team were twice as effective at half the cost. I cannot begin to express the complexity of my situation, but it was challenging given the circumstances. Unfortunately I became fairly experienced at the process, language and arguments used in my cases over the past 10 years. I've seen the quality of the arguments made on my behalf and Sara always had clear thoughts and rational behavior with opposing counsel and the court. The team at Yelman did great work. Most important in this process is the cost. Clients are often driven apart by their lawyers, which benefits only the firms involved. Trust me -- I experienced this before Yelman, as did my ex. Sara did not inflame for the benefit of further court actions (and therefore fees). She protected me as a client but was always rational about the options presented to me concerning my decisions. Moving to Yelman over the past 4 years was the best financial choice I made over this extraordinarily challenging phase of my life. I am so grateful for their representation and guidance, and I highly recommend them for complex family law representation.

Don’t take Julie O Wolf’s sweet voice and demeanor for granted she is a beast in the courtroom. She will fight for you like no other. I’ve worked with many attorneys regarding my dissolution and no one can compare to her tactfulness against opposing council. She just, GETS IT no need to prep her up she does all the work and formulates a plan and executes! Thank you Julie.

Julie is an exception Lawyer who has been of tremendous help to me! I was dealing with a very long and complicated divorce/child custody/child support case previously with another firm. They did not provide me with the help I needed. I am SO thankful that I found Julie to take over the case! She has been fantastic at negotiations, and has really explained everything in detail to me all along the way. I highly recommend her services!

Julie was wonderful during my case. I had an unusual situation and Julie was clear on how the outcome may play out. She does not sugar coat anything and fights tooth and nail for the protection of the child and encourages her clients to make rational and healthy decisions during their case. After being an emotional wreck (which she could of probably charged me a mental health service fee????) I was able to settle and have the most time with my son as possible. Highly recommended.

It was pleasure working with Julie Wolff. I was dealing with an out of state child support case and she made it less stressful for me. She was very responsive, transparent and didn’t make me feel bad for asking the many questions I had. Thank you Julie!

ZERO STARS ACTUALLY!!! I reached out to Julie Wolff to represent me in court so I can file for 50/50 custody of my children, modify visitation, and modify child support. She sent me an intake form to fill out which I had filled out same day and sent it back. Julie followed up with me to have a 20 minute consultation. Julie is not my first lawyer and I have never heard of a 20 minute consultation. After she quickly ended that phone call her main concern was how she was accepting first payment or retainer. I told her multiple times on the phone that my insurance covers my payment in full for custody and visitation. I told her, the only thing I would have to pay is for child support and that is a reduced rate of 25% of regular rate bye attorney. Along with me explaining that to her verbally I also emailed her all of my case assist confirmation numbers MULTIPLE TIMES. These numbers pull up my case and EXPLAIN WHAT I AM COVERED UNDER AND HOW PAYMENT OF ATTONEY FEES WORK FROM MY INSURANCE. My insurance also advices any attorneys that do not know the coverage for said plan member to call direct and they will happily assist them in what is covered. This was too much for Julie to do and she asked that I call to verify what she will be payed and too email her with what they say. Aside from what I am covered under, I also said I don't care what I need to pay or how much it will cost I just need to get the ball rolling for my paperwork, because everyday that goes bye is affecting my children. Still did not matter. She kept requesting papers that I have emailed to her 3 different times at this point, and would not accept a phone call, text message or physical appointment to straighten the confusion out. What she did instead was email me the same email three different times requesting what I have already sent her. SEE MY FRUSTRATION!!!??? Julie did not try helping, calling, or explaining anything to me to try and get her what she needs. She felt sending the same email two more times (which clearly was in confusion) was the best and most professional way of handling that, thus leading me to not even accept her as an attorney being as difficult as she was. When people seek out Attorneys I personally do not feel that whomever they choose to represent them, should make they're life simply more difficult with no clear direction. In my benefit she made it very easy for me to know what kind of Attorney I am looking for, so, Thank you Julie Wolff... I see you come back at people with negative reviews and attack their character thus proving my point of unprofessionalism. please don't attack my character this was a review of your work ethic and how you handle your Law Firm. STEP IT UP!!! Please do not try saying that I am a "BOGUS SCAMMER" either, I am very real.

I absolutely recommend Yvonne Rizzo for family legal services!! With an already burdening schedule, I was in and out of court with my children's mother consistently. Repeated motions for ridiculousness. My attempt was to be reasonable. However, after a completely false narrative and even a restraining order I felt as the court would believe anything they were told. After contacting Yvonne, I was not only relieved to have her caring and professional legal services on my side, I was impressed by the ability to finally be stress free and focus on my schedule, knowing I had yet another court date. I am thankful for the time, effort, and concern Yvonne put into my case. After a complete success in court, I cannot thank Yvonne enough. I not only recommend Yvonne, I have no doubt that for any future matters with my divorce, I'll simply call my attorney. Thanks Yvonne!!

Ms. Rizzo provided excellent legal services for our family. From the first meeting you know that you are in competent and caring hands. Her responsiveness to phone calls and emails instills great confidence. No one seeks legal advice lightly. We received expert legal advice. I recommend her services without reservation.

She is an awesome Father Advocate lawyer. Hard working very dedicated and honest Attorney.

Yvonne Rizzo is always available to talk to about my case. She maintains the highest level of professionalism and cares deeply about her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a family law attorney.

I highly recommend Yvonne Rizzo Family Law Attorney to anyone not being treated fairly in the courtroom and in need of Legal Representation. I have been going through family law for a year now with 9 months of no legal representation. Eventhough I was no threat to my child and the mother is an alcoholic with prior DUI's just got arrested for a DUI, the court granted her full sole and physical custody and for me 10% visitation with 0% sole legal or physical custody. For the first 9 months I was constantly getting mistreated in the courtroom eventhough there were hard evidence of proof and proof of lies against the opposing party due to a bias judge. Out of the 9 months the mother of my child withheld my daughter from me for 5 months. During the 5 months I filed 3 ex-parte hearings due to visitation violation of court orders and safety concerns with proof and still got dismissed, 1 hearing was cancelled and not even heard by the judge stating it's " Not an emergency". Since i hired Atty. Rizzo, not only was I able to be heard without being turned away but she was able to get me visitations with my daughter again after 5 months but with more time and days with overnights too. I now have 35% visitation with 4-5 days every week with my daughter and looks to get better from here on. Thank you Mrs. Rizzo.

Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michelle Paul was nothing was ever "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce process from start to finish, Michelle kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Even though I filed for divorce, 6 months later I had a change of heart and decided to have Michelle stop the divorce two weeks before going to court. Michelle listened and was very supportive of my decision, and worked quickly with the other councilor to resolve all remaining issues. I highly recommend Michelle Paul! Todd Hurt, Retired Navy

Another outstanding job for Michelle Paul and her team. Michelle and her team were my legal representation in 2017 when she pulled an almost impossible task to gain custody of my 2 kids and a move away outside the United States. We enjoyed Japan for 3 years and we owe it to her and her team. We have been state side for two weeks. Today she accomplished yet another challenging task in our court teleconference. She terminated spousal support completely; along with additional custody time share in our favor. Words CANNOT describe the impact she has made to our lives. Highly recommended. God bless her and her team.....

Michelle was more than helpful throughout the entire process. She was accommodating, nourishing, and honest. There's no person I'd rather have to help me through my tough legal situation.

To All Who Seek Family Counsel Michelle Paul is the one!! First a big THANK YOU to you Michelle for being there for me throughout my divorce case. You were and ARE professional, knowledgeable, caring, very detailed-oriented and always with a smile. You took on my case with ease and ensured it was resovled in a timely manner. As a military officer, you stood by me and always explained the law in simple terms to me and that means alot to me. At the end of the day, I came out of family court VERY satisfied with my case. As my opening statement reads, anyone whether civilian or military, seeking GREAT legal counsel, Michelle is the one!! Again thank you Michelle for being MY attorney.

Michelle Paul and her firm have been absolutely professional with me. They worked tirelessly to help me with my case. Michelle was determined not to back down when it came to getting me and my Daughter exactly what we were entitled to. Her knowledge of family law just blows me away. Her work ethic is absolutely impeccable! Michelle truly cared about my case and would call just to calm me down. What other attorney would do that? Never a disappointing moment with our representation!

    Perhaps the thing that impressed me most about Michelle Paul was nothing was ever "sugar coated". She was very straight forward and told me what to expect each step of the way. Going thru the separation and divorce process from start to finish, Michelle kept me informed of each step and what the options were and what the risks were. There were no empty promises made just to keep the client happy which I know sometimes occurs when seeking counsel. Even though I filed for divorce, 6 months later I had a change of heart and decided to have Michelle stop the divorce two weeks before going to court. Michelle listened and was very supportive of my decision, and worked quickly with the other councilor to resolve all remaining issues. I highly recommend Michelle Paul! Todd Hurt, Retired Navy

    Another outstanding job for Michelle Paul and her team. Michelle and her team were my legal representation in 2017 when she pulled an almost impossible task to gain custody of my 2 kids and a move away outside the United States. We enjoyed Japan for 3 years and we owe it to her and her team. We have been state side for two weeks. Today she accomplished yet another challenging task in our court teleconference. She terminated spousal support completely; along with additional custody time share in our favor. Words CANNOT describe the impact she has made to our lives. Highly recommended. God bless her and her team.....

I had great expectations for Ben and his crew, but what I got was subpar legal representation to say the least.. Sons mom filed a move away request out of the blue, and at first I was even contemplating whether, or not to even hire an attorney,because her allegations were so farcical, over the top, completely untrue, unfounded, and unbelievable. but with so much at stake I decided I would play it safe, and just pay the professionals. From the start I had questions about what was going on with my case, Ben, and his crew, are good at making invoices , and running up the bill, but they will not work for you. During the months leading up to the,” $8000 dollar train wreck”. I was never prompted for evidence, I was never called I had to voluntarily scan, and PDF evidence over to his office on my own, sometimes I would get a confirmation email, other times I would not. I asked if I could bring my emails, pictures, and text messages in for them to scan, and build my case file, but they fully took advantage of the COVID-19 restrictions saying, “ they weren’t allowing people personal visits into the office, because of the COVID”. This was another way they could focus on bringing in new retainer fees, and focus on the money aspect of it, opposed to the defense, and actual representation aspect of it. Guys do not hire these people, they will loose your case, you have been warned. On the day of the evidentiary hearing, evidence linking mom to illicit activities, gambling, and prescription drug abuse, was not presented. In addition threats made to me by other parties on moms side, like death threats, threats to come to my house, pictures of new gun purchases, and people holding them,that were sent to me, were not presented at the hearing. Upon cross examining me, Ben repeatedly asked me questions related to corporal punishment of my son, and stepson, the purpose of which, I still have not figured out. In the end the Judge ruled capriciously , chopping up family code section “ 3040” , while Ben just sat there like a deer in the headlights. I lost the half custody of my son, to a person with a history of bad child parenting, with a history of violent convicted felons, and drug addicts in the home. My exhibit list was virtually non existent, very few documents, half irrelevant, the other half of the exhibits indiscernible. Instead of quickly discrediting mom, and mounting a solid defense, against, a "I said so therefore, it must be allegation", Ben was unprepared, and made us both look bad. If O.J. Simpson was found not guilty again for another murder, it would not be more egregious, it could not be anymore off base than the train wreck that Ben, and his “ wrecking crew”, managed to create for me. Unbelievably there is more, In the end I asked them, “ to file a substitution of attorney”, with the court so that I could get get their incompetent rear ends off my case, and of course they dragged their feet for another two weeks, and I was not able to file a “peremptory challenge” in time, to ask for a new judge for my upcoming motions. I was very nice, and did not bother them, while they were on my case, in fact, this is the first time I have expressed my frustration with them They did not put the work in that they billed me for, and therefore, Ben was unprepared for what should have been an easy case, a case that was textbook example of what female on male domestic violence looks like. "I said so, so therefore it must be evidence". I paid $8000 dollars,and it made my problem much.much worse. Horrible job!

Embry Family Law jumped in when my regular attorney was not available (due to a conflict in schedule), and handled my Ex Parte matter perfectly. I know the attorneys and staff personally, and I see how diligent they are working for their clients, trying to provide the best possible outcome, every single day.

I used Embry Family Law for a child custody/support case... couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my legal issues! Ben and Nicholas worked on my case over a year due to the pandemic shutting down the court system. Regardless of what was happening, they continued to push forward till they were able to resolve my case. I will continue to use Embry Family Law for future family legal issues and highly recommend everyone do so as well!

Working with Ben Embry was great. He's very professional, responsive, and was always available to answer any questions I had. His team is also amazing and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. I would recommend Embry Family Law to anyone!

This firm represented the other party yet made me feel just as important when it came to my questions! The paralegal Nicholas was beyond helpful! I’m so thankful to have worked with this amazing firm. They made the divorce process painless! Thank you!

The firm is the definition of excellence. My case was handled professionally, aggressively, and with compassion. I am extremely grateful, thanks especially to Megan Vito!

I worked with Lauren Fair and her staff for over a year and a half. The entire time they were responsive, professional, honest and very informative. Lauren walked me through the entire process step by step. When a court date or decision needed to be made. She was honest and prepared me for all the scenarios. Her knowledge and commitment to her work shows. I always received timely responses from her and all staff members. I can not thank them enough for all they did for me. I am now divorced and was granted an out of state move away. I highly recommend Lauren Fair. She truly cares about her clients and their best interest.

Lindsay is the best attorney in San Diego very passionate about her job. Works very well goes above and beyond. If you want the best she is the person to go to.

It's a great thing that I have called Fair Cadora first. I didn't expect them to be this good. They are very friendly and professional. Excellent communication, we had the most ideal outcome. Thank you, you are the best.

Kevin and team are highly motivated and passionate about what they do. Family law & divorce situations can be tiring and very stressful for all parties involved. The level of care and compassion they put into each individual case is bar none and truly what sets them apart. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. If you or a family member have been contemplating divorce, I highly recommend reaching out to Kevin to see what he’s able to do for you.

Attorney, Maria Taylor, has a kind, compassionate heart along with honesty, integrity, etiquette, knowledge, intelligence, the power to persuade impossible and unpredictable! By working with her, I shortly noticed even more treasures of her professionalism along with most magnificent personality! Ms. Taylor has done what seems impossible during my divorce! She was with me all the way in the process going thousand extra miles. She will WIN your case, your heart and protect your future!

I have consulted with Maria Taylor during some of the most stressful circumstances in my life and she was really an amazing resource. Not only was she very knowledgeable and professional, but her calm and empathetic demeanor gave me much needed emotional support at the time it was most needed. At the same time Maria was always very forthright and honest about what I could expect and told me the truth even when it may not have been exactly what I wanted to hear. If I have any family law issues in the future, I'll definitely go back to her.

I've worked with Maria for years. She's probably the most skilled and zealous family law attorney I've encountered. I've repeatedly seen her go above and beyond for her clients to put them in the best situation possible. Nobody ever wants a divorce, but if you need one, you couldn't ask for a better lawyer to help you through it.

Maria Taylor goes above and beyond! My case was tough, contentious, and the opposing party did everything they could to drag it out as long as possible. That is when you need an attorney with experience and professionalism. Maria saw through their tricks and she fought like a barracuda, bringing a swifter and very favourable resolution for me. Thanks to her recognizing inconsistencies and unethical procedures on their part, she also won me partial attorney fees and a sweet extra offer during mediation. I also want to mention her promptness in returning emails and phone calls – I never for a moment felt alone in this. I most highly recommend her!

Professional and helpful. I would recommend Maria Taylor, you wont regret it.

Second time I've worked with this law firm, specifically Mr. Matteson. On my own personal experience Scott and Matteson Family Law have worked in the most professional manner. They respond fast to all phone calls, message, etc. Mr. Matteson is on top of his game! Straight forward type of lawyer that will guide the case to the right path. Even though my case was dismissed on my behalf he always kept me on the loop as to what evidence is needed on my part to prove a compelling case. If I have to go back to family court again I will definitely hire Mr. Matteson again. Thank you!

Mr Scott has been in the game for a minute. He is well seasoned and very much respected within his profession. If your looking for the cream of the crop well god must be on your side , cause you found it!! I left this journey not only with a great attorney but a new found close relationship with a stand up family in Scott Family Law Remind you that I am a father that won custody of his children and got attorney fees awarded. Best investment I could of ever made for the CHILDREN! That being said What y’all waiting for... Let’s Get it!!

Mr. Scott spent more time reviewing my case and taking the time to make sure I understood what the best plan was. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind. He was not trying to take at the little resources I had and push me to retain him. Instead, he made me wish I had met him sooner. Thank you so much Mr. Scott. You were the angel I had been praying for!

The law offices of James D Scott has helped me a few times with problems I've had with family law. Mr. Scott's office staff it's very professional. There attentiveness and quick response to questions and phone calls is always so appreciated during a difficult time.. Mr. Scott takes his time to explain in detail the process every step of the way. Thank you for such great customer service

In my case, I tried to settle on my own. Opposing counsel was very aggressive and pushed me to a point where I had to hire someone. I am so thankful for James Scott and his office for guiding me through this difficult process. Mr. Scott educated me, protected me, and fought for me. I highly recommend a consultation with Mr. Scott before you hire anyone else. I sleep very well at night knowing that opposing counsel bit off more than he could chew.

This firm is incredible! From the front desk staff to the attorneys, everyone makes you feel right at home in your most troubling times. In particular, my interactions with attorney Leo Arzumanyan have been fantastic. Leo is attentive, responsive and highly motivated. Above all else, Leo has a knack for impeccable legal writing. If you’re in need of attorneys who will dedicate their time to winning, I strongly recommend hiring the law firm of Antonyan Miranda.

I needed some legal advice and got a recommendation to call Ramona (Tumber). She was attentive and patient and her advice was informed and clear. I couldn't understand all of the options I had accessible to me and she laid everything out in a way even I could understand. A fantastic experience even if the call was for something less than ideal.

I reached out to Concierge Attorney Ramona Tumber for some help on a personal legal matter. She was so helpful and she's got such a positive can-do attitude. She asked me specific questions that expanded my thinking and led to other options for addressing my problem. I recommend her for anyone needing some help with personal/family related legal advice.

Ramona K. Tumber Esq. Is fantastic to work with. Legal family issues are difficult. Ramona listens and then brings her professional knowledge and energetic follow through to bear in resolving your issues promptly and effectively. I recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney with integrity.

Alicia is PHENOMENAL! She was very quick to take my call and get me the help I needed. She is very friendly and professional. I highly recommend giving this firm a call. Their team is very knowledgeable.

    I needed some legal advice and got a recommendation to call Ramona (Tumber). She was attentive and patient and her advice was informed and clear. I couldn't understand all of the options I had accessible to me and she laid everything out in a way even I could understand. A fantastic experience even if the call was for something less than ideal.

    I reached out to Concierge Attorney Ramona Tumber for some help on a personal legal matter. She was so helpful and she's got such a positive can-do attitude. She asked me specific questions that expanded my thinking and led to other options for addressing my problem. I recommend her for anyone needing some help with personal/family related legal advice.

To say that Mr. Bishop, Ben and Connie are an exceptional team is to say nothing at all. They have exceeded all expectations through my domestic violence divorce case. Mr. Bishop's level of expertise and professional guidance were my beacon of light in this emotionally trying time. Connie and Ben are amazing at what they do. Not only did they greet me with a warm smile and encourgement each time, they made sure to follow up and get all documents prepared in a timely manner. To anyone out there looking for outstanding representation- you simply will not regret choosing The Law Offices of Steven M. Bishop.

A review for those who seek the best family/divorce attorney - I highly recommend Mr. Steven M. Bishop’s law practice. His professionalism and experience superseded the lawyers I had spoken to before him, and my decision to pick him as my primary family attorney came immediately after our initial phone consultation. Mr. Bishop has a rare ability to listen and understand your family situation, up to the point where you feel connected, valued, and comfortable with the difficult legal situation you are confronted with. Having him by my side throughout the court process was an invaluable asset, and his proficient work lead to the resolution of my family dispute. Along with Mr. Bishop, you get an excellent office legal team that is supportive with you until the end. I hope I never encounter another family conflict again, but if I do, there is only one person I would call: Stephen M. Bishop. Thank you for all the hard work. I truly appreciated your time, patience, and legal expertise.

Steve and Ben have been incredibly helpful. Always get sound, realistic and fair advice. Gain confidence knowing they are ready to fight for my interests. Connie is always pleasant and helps mitigate this stressful process. I was recommended by a friend and will do so as well.

Where do I begin? This is a testimony from the heart so I don't know how to make it short and sweet. I was referred to Steve in 2002 after my daughter's father kidnapped her during his visitation. Needless to say, I was frantic. I searched all over San Diego for a competent attorney, this was my child so I needed THE BEST family law attorney that money could buy. I consulted with three attorneys, Steve was the last one I met...I knew immediately that my search was over. When I decided to retain Steve, I had no idea that I was not only getting an attorney, I was getting a confidant and friend. Unlike lawyers I have dealt with in the past, I never felt like Mr. Bishop viewed me solely as a case file. He became a part of my family (my kids call him Uncle Steve ;-) ), and truly wanted what was best for my child, even before considering what was best for me. The idea that my daughter's best interest must be met, was a goal we both shared equally. Mr. Bishop impressed me with his courtroom IQ and etiquette. He's well known and respected by the legal community in San Diego county. I felt extremely confident walking into the courtroom with him which was important since I had a pending domestic violence case that could easily have made me the underdog in my case. He made sure the money I invested in him was well spent and encouraged me to remain focused and to refrain from frivolous arguments with opposing counsel. He briefed me on how to conduct myself in mediation, and even offered me lifelong advise as a young parent on how to co-parent effectively and maturely so that I would never be in a bad situation again. I can say without hesitation that I owe Mr Bishop my life. He got me full custody of my daughter when the odds were against me. If you are a client who will NOT accept anything other than a judgment in your favor, especially if your kids or livelihood are at stake, Mr. Bishop is your guy! Give him the unfettered truth, be transparent, and he'll gladly return the favor as well as advise you with almost 100% certainty what outcome you can expect. I call him my brother today and for the rest of my life. I have since referred several clients to him and they are just as pleased. Steve, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for answering God's calling on your life, you love what you do and it shows. Thank you for being a part of my family still, even 18 years later. Best wishes my dear friend and counselor! God bless!

Attorney Steven M. Bishop is an excellent Family Law Attorney. What makes Mr. Bishop excellent? His knowledge of the law (over 40 yrs), transparency of his work, integrity of his strategy, and he helps his clients look at things objectively without emotion. Many attorneys treat you as just another client, but Mr. Bishop treats you like his top client. He provides time and attention to the facts, while walking you through each step equipping you for the best preparation in the court process.
