For more than 50 years of combined experience, crafting solutions that have helped our clients and their families achieve their goals, we have helped ensure a better future for them and their loved ones. That is what Attorney Joel Seidel has built this firm on: solutions. At Joel S. Seidel & Associates, we believe in resolving family law matters as promptly as possible. Truly concerned about the best interests of you and your family, you can depend on us to provide you with the personalized representation deserved throughout your case.
Not everyone is going through a divorce. Not everyone suffers through domestic violence or allegations of domestic violence. Our team works day and night to create strategies that are shaped according to each customer's need. You can be sure that every hour we work on your case, we're working toward the outcome you want most.
The leader of our team, Mr. Seidel, is a Certified Family Law Specialist. That means he has been officially proven and designated as an expert on family law matters by the State Bar of California—an honor limited to 1% of attorneys nationwide. Because we take a collaborative approach at our firm, that means every client benefits from his expertise, experience, and innovative strategies.
Joel S. Seidel & Associates handles virtually every type of family law matter under the sun. We've helped spouses part ways amicably through uncontested divorces. When it was necessary, we built aggressive cases against spouses who were trying to use their divorce as a means to exact punishment on their ex, helping secure our client's future in the process.
Family law isn't just about divorce, however—we also help families with custody decisions, create marital agreements, modify orders, or appeal past court rulings. Whatever your case demands, Mr. Seidel and his team ensure that your case is given our complete attention. You can be certain that the solution we create for you is designed for the best possible outcome.
