Highly Recommended – Competent, Compassionate, Caring and Responsive Attorney

It is with immense gratitude and sincere pleasure that I write this review on behalf of Mr. Ariel Tello of The Tello Law Corporation. I was in a bitter custody battle and fighting for the best interests of our young 2-year-old daughter when I found Ariel Tello. 
At my first meeting with Mr. Tello,... I knew I had found a compassionate, caring, responsive and competent attorney that would he help me obtain the results I desired. Mr. Tello understands that divorce is a difficult ordeal for everyone and treated me with upmost professionalism and respect. While my daughter was very young, Mr. Tello believed based on the facts and what was in my daughter’s best interests, we had a strong case for a custody plan that would provide both the mother and I substantial and near equal parenting time. Spending as much quality time as I could with my 2-year-old daughter was most important to me. My daughter’s mother was firm on providing a timeshare with me that was substantially lower than 50%, which I strongly believed was not in our daughter’s best interests. Frequency and quality of contact at this stage in our daughter’s life is critical. Custody battles can take many months, sometimes years to resolve. After only two and half months of back and forth negotiations, attempts to settle outside of court and going to mediation, we had no choice but to go to court and let the judge decide our case. An enormous amount of evidence, prep work, testimony and detailed parenting plan proposals were required that Mr. Tello put together. Mr. Tello’s dedication, perseverance, and time spent paid of and I achieved my goal of ensuring that my daughter was able to spend a substantial amount of time with both parents, which is really in her best interests. Mr. Tello was truly fighting for me and for what was in my daughter’s best interests. I know that Mr. Tello has two young kids and it has a strong impact on how he handled my case with fair, consistent and balanced legal advice. Mr. Tello really knows the Orange County court system and the various judges involved, which helped me to protect my family’s future.

"Ariel Tello was opposing counsel in a dissolution action in Orange County. He was a true professional and gentleman throughout the case. Because of his attitude, we were able to negotiate a settlement where both parties left happy and we achieved this result at reasonable cost to our respective clients. He deeply cares about his clients and their well being. I highly recommend Ariel."
