I hired Chloe for my divorce and I found that not only was she an effective attorney she was also an excellent counter-balance to any emotional or knee-jerk reactions that I had in terms of providing me counseling or feedback. I had a very positive experience and I would strongly recommend her to anyone needing her services.
I hired Chloe to complete my prenup agreement for my marriage last year and I could not be more satisfied with the services she and the firm provided. Chloe is incredibly smart, was responsive/timely to any and all of my questions, and was very comprehensive in her support. She was warm, kind, and exhibited the utmost professionalism throughout the process. There was difficult opposing counsel, and Chloe was very reassuring during those moments. She walked me through every step of the process, even explaining relevant cases to help me understand what was happening, and checking in with me to make sure I understood things and wasn't lost. Thanks to Chloe, I was able to go into my wedding and marriage with a sense of security and clarity. Chloe came highly recommended, and her services did not disappoint. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to others with no hesitation.

Smart, Engaging and Focused
Chloe has represented me over the past 5 years in a very contentious divorce, property settlement and post settlement harassment by my ex. She's become personally involved in these battles in every fashion and has been unrelenting in this action, always taking into account the best interests of my children and me. She writes well and speaks clearly and thoughtfully, knows the law and has the experience to apply it to the facts. Her cross examination of my ex in an important hearing recently was focused, resolute and ultimately devastating. I highly recommend her in all circumstances.

Made my divorce as painless as possible
Chloe and the Davies Wegner team were everything I could have looked for in a legal team. While my divorce wasn't particularly complicated, they still gave me lots of personalized attention and helped me through my first (and hopefully last) time going through the process. Additionally, they were extremely sensitive to my financial situation and recommended smart choices about how my retainer hours were spent. I have already recommended them to two other people who have had similarly positive experiences.

Great experience from beginning to end
I recently retained Chloe to handle my Prenuptial Agreement under a very tight timeline. Not only was she able to accommodate my needs (and with time to spare!) but she was extremely thorough, thoughtful and ensured I understood every provision of the Agreement before moving anything forward. The rest of her staff is also wonderful to work with. You will be in great hands working with this firm.

An exceptional family law attorney!
After being unhappy with the first attorney I hired in my divorce, I decided to make a change and retain Davies Wegner at the advice of a co-worker. It turned out to be the best decision I made throughout my entire divorce. After meeting with Talitha for an initial consultation, Chloe took over my case and I can honestly say that without her I never would have had the positive outcome I had when all was finally said and done.
She is a truly amazing, knowledgeable, and caring attorney who went above and beyond to help me every single step of the way and not only helped me avoid a lengthy and most likely expensive trial, but was absolutely paramount in calmly dealing with my ex-spouse.
No matter how big or small the issues were in my case she always made herself available to speak either via phone or in-person and I could not be more grateful to have had her and the entire Davies Wegner team on my side. Chloe worked tirelessly on my behalf and I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone looking not just for a good family law attorney, but an exceptional one.

Excellent top lawyer, highly recommend
I hired Chloe to resolve a divorce settlement issue. She worked efficiently and diligently while deftly batting away nonsense from the opposing lawyer. She was very thorough in researching the issue and explained everything in terms that were easy to follow. Chloe's approach is straightforward and she did not fall for any of the games or traps the opposing lawyer attempted. Her skill and logic resulted in resolving the issue in my favor. Chloe is hands down the best lawyer I have dealt with.

Very Professional and Orgnaized
I work with many attorneys and Chloe and her firm might be the most organized I have dealt with. They are highly professional and very detail oriented. I never write reviews for anything but was compelled to write a review because of how great they were to work with.

Exceptional work and care
I was referred to Davies by my corp attorney.
I needed to end my divorce (now in its 6 year) and have the stipulation written out.
Let me say that stipulations are a very complicated and probably the most important document you will sign in life, you definitely need a good attorney.
Chloe from the very start was interested, patient and informed.
She spent conciderable time on our fist conversation on the phone w out knowing if I would hire them yet which was surprising and refreshing.
lawyer firms usually don't give you the time of day without a retainer.
Chloe was on it and has the demeanor and experience to pull your situation together and lead you to an end result.
My stipulation is now signed and on its way to the court!
Chloe and the team are great and I would recommend her and the firm without hesitation.
All divorces are different but anyone in this place in life understands how terrible it can be, we all need help.

Superhero
I recently had to take out a restraining order on an ex. Before being introduced to Chloe, I started the process without representation -- an intimidating and consuming undertaking as it is, which only heightened when my ex retained a lawyer pushing me to settle out of court. Because of that, there are no words for how invaluable Chloe's support, council, and representation were throughout the entire experience thereafter.
Chloe is smart, buttoned-up (including being well-versed in case-law), but most of all, genuinely empathetic, truly understanding how deeply personal cases like this are. She made me feel heard and, ultimately, ensured that I was protected to the fullest extent possible. I feel lucky to have had Chloe, along with the entire Davies Wegner team, on my side. I can't imagine what the experience would have been like without them.

Best of the best
My back was against the wall with unreasonable demands from opposing council in my child custody case. I found Chloe and Davies and Wagner law firm online. The minute I hired her the tables turned. This women is a relentless bulldog, the kind you want on your side. Honest, open, and straight forward she will fight. She wants to win just as much as you do. Worth every penny you spend, you won't be disappointed. I finally have time with my daughter now.

Walking Away HAPPY!
Chloe negotiated my divorce quickly and favorably. I got to keep my house and never once had to set foot in a courtroom--I don't think I could have handled that emotionally. Chloe was always sensitive to my feelings (and available by text message! Who knew you could text your divorce lawyer when things get tough?) and when I needed it, she was my little shark.

I was saved
I found Chloe and the Davies Wegner firm on Yelp. I came to Chloe about a prenuptial agreement that was given to me. I personally knew nothing about laws or my rights. Chloe was calm, confident, and went out of her way multiple times to explain and take me out of my state of confusion. I highly recommend working with her. She has her client's best interest and does her job very well!

Find someone more seasoned...
My divorce proceedings lasted a year and were handled by Chloe. Things started out fine but somewhere along the way Chloe became short tempered, slightly condescending, and sometimes even sounded like she was working for the other team! It’s hard to explain her change over time or why it happened, but it made my painful divorce even more painful. :(

Response from Chloe WolmanOctober 11, 2018
It is unfortunate when a client has unrealistic expectations about their divorce. It is part of my job to manage those expectations and explain to all clients what the law is and how it will affect their case. This necessarily involves telling clients things they don’t want to hear, for example, “yes, you will have to pay child support,” or “no, you will not be able to keep the house.” I provide clients with the full text of case law and statutes so they have the opportunity to review the law themselves and digest the reality of what I impart to them. I even encourage clients to seek alternate counsel if they are unsatisfied. On one notable occasion, I begged our forensic accountant to do work for free as a personal favor to demonstrate financial realities to a client. Our goal at DWL is to “lead with the law,” and as such, I cannot ethically take positions which do not have legal or factual bases. There are, unfortunately, many attorneys in Los Angeles who will charge a client and tell that person what they want to hear. Again, this is not an ethical approach. We are committed to our clients and hand holding is part of what we do for them—but if a client’s expectations are unrealistic, we make sure to always be truthful and honest.
