Divorce/Custody

I'm a man in California and Custody was reversed giving full custody of my daughter to me!

Great Lawyer

Absolutely would, and still do, recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a practical down to earth not in it for the money lawyer. He handled my child support and custudy case for my kids and did everything it took to get us what we deserved. He still accepts my calls to ask questions every now and agai...n. He was professional and easy to reach and i always felt informed. Can't begin to thank him enough for everything. Great man with excelent character.

unresponsive and unprofessional experience

After empty promises and a large retainer, Mr. Mandel was unresponsive, self-focused, and failed to provide the guidance or protection I expected and was initially promised. Communication was poor, and his handling of the case set me back significantly. I did not feel supported or represented with ca...re or professionalism.

Negligent, Unresponsive, and a Complete Failure as an Attorney

Bruce Mandel was completely unprepared and unresponsive. He ignored emails, failed to provide legal guidance, mishandled confidential information, and pressured me into a terrible settlement instead of advocating for me. I paid thousands for representation but had to do the work myself and ended up i...n a worse position than when I hired him. Avoid him at all costs.
