Seeking Family Law Attorney in N Orange County or Long Beach Area
Hi there,
I am hoping someone can recommend a good family law attorney to help with my divorce. I have been separated for over three years and feel its time to finalize our split. My soon to be ex husband and I have a great friendship and spend every weekend together with our children. I have a
family member who is an attorney that has already done most of the paperwork, but I want to speak to a non-family member for some unbiased advice in regards to my legal situation. My main question is concerning allimony and child support. I am asking for child support at this point as I have almost always supported our family throughout our 13 yrs of marriage and through my husband's advanced education. Its important to me to keep things harmonious as our family goes through this difficult situation so I feel I can keep supporting by children and myself without allimony. Any insite or advice on this is much appreciated!

I would check with John Gilligan in Long Beach. He is a certified family law specialist. Very straightforward and efficient. He has been practicing nearly 30 years and is willing to be as aggressive as you'd like. He is a strong advocate for children's rights.
Best of luck to you.

We've used Joe Shuff, ###-###-####, in Santa Ana for 9 years. Great! A lot of the judges in OC know and respect Joe. He's also sat in as a temporary judge, so he knows what judges are looking for and how they're likely to rule. Anyway, you may tell him A. Luna recommended him. Good luck.

Dear C.,
please call me before you retain an attorney. I am an associate with Pre Paid Legal Services. We offer a monthly membership for legal services and identity theft protection that costs $35.95 per month. I used the membership to call and ask for information regarding my own marital situation. A family law attorney called me back within 2 hours and spoke to me on the phone for 20 minutes. He answered all of my questions and the phone call was FREE because phone consultations are FREE under the membership.
Best wishes and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
R. (Mom to two year old Benjamin)

I made an appointment with her about 3 years ago. She may not remember me, as I did not follow through with divorce proceedings.
