Move away case

My wife and I were separated for a few months and she decided to move to Northern, CA. with her new boyfriend and the kids (5+ hour drive) After speaking to several attorneys, I hired Attorney Joel Garcia to take on my case. He was professional and knowledgeable. He put together the Divorce paper ...and demanded my Kids return back to Southern CA. before our court day. He spoke to my wife and her attorney and were able to settle out of court. Now I’m able to see my kids on weekends. I definitely recommend Attorney Garcia as I was very pleased with the outcome of my case.

Excellent Service on a Dissolution Case

I'm so glad I was referred to Joel. He is very sharp and knowledgeable. I had my trial today and he fought for the custody of my kids and thank god we got it. He conducted himself in court very professionally and confidently in asking the right questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyo...ne else.

Dissolution

Mr. Garcia is a very young knowledgeable Att. For the most part, I was satisfied with the outcome of my case. However, towards the end of an extremely lengthy case, Garcia told me that if I didn't submit to the respondents specific request that he would relive himself from my case. Furthermore, after... my final review of the final decree prior to my signature, Garcia changed pertinent time constraints to accommodate the respondent without my approval. I found this to be a grave attempt of deception. Also noted that Garcia spent a great deal of time conferring with respondent. Perhaps he may have been intimidated. Again, overall Garcia worked hard on my case and did an ok job. I suggest that future clients pay close attention to detail.
