Excellent collaborative attorney
When my first lawyers grossly overcharged me for services and time I didn't ask for- i hired Joel on the recommendatio of a good friend. Joel was immediately more honest and conscientous of my costs- and very invested in resolving my matter in the most efficient way possible. He took pride in being ...

Lifesaver
Mr. Seidel represented me on a case that involved child custody issues, child support issues, spousal support issues, attorney fees, and the division of assets. He was prepared at all times, professional, and I could not be happier with his work and the outcome. I am sorry that I cannot give him mo...

The Absolute Best!
I have never felt so confident going into court as I did this time around knowing I had Joel on my side. Joel and Kristine are the absolute best.

Experienced and Kind
During a very difficult time in my life, I was very lucky to work with Joel Seidel and his team as I navigated the turbulent waters of divorce. Not only were Joel and Kristine knowledgeable and extremely good at their jobs, but they were also kind and respectful throughout, explaining each step of th...
"Joel is patient, courteous and knows how to diffuse very contentions situations. It's no wonder why he is a certified family law specialist by the State Bar of California."
"I have known Joel for over 25 years. He treats clients with the utmost respect and has extensive knowledge in all facets of family law. He is one of the few attorneys that I trust with my referrals."
"Joel is an emotionally intelligent family law attorney, something I don't see very often. He understands the importance of facilitative mediation in family law, something that involves de-escalating conflict, improving communication between the parties, and actual problem-solving. He's assertive and not unnecessarily aggressive. Study after study has shown that a facilitative approach typically leads to higher quality outcomes from the clients' perspective. He's also extremely well-versed in family law and is skilled at managing his clients' expectations. If I were still litigating cases, I'd likely handle my cases in a similar manner."
