Joel Stuart Seidel

I found myself tangled in a divorce case that could have been scripted for a Hollywood horror story. The opposing counsel painted me as the next James Bond of business and investments – except that their story was purely fiction. If the judge had bought into the plot, I would have faced financial r...uin. But then, enter my divorce attorney, Joel – the real hero in this story. Joel is like a legal Energizer Bunny. He's incredibly hardworking and willing to burn the midnight oil to get things right. He showed up with diligence and dedication that was nothing short of super heroic. Unlike those larger-than-life law firms with endless layers of staff, Joel runs a tight ship. His small office means you don't need a treasure map to reach him. A direct call or email and you're in touch with the man himself, ready to unravel the mysteries of your case. Joel's ability to see the forest through the trees is uncanny. He doesn't get bogged down in the minutiae. Instead, he keeps his eye on the prize, steering the ship toward the best possible outcome. Joel's billing is fair, and he's not in it for the gold bullion. He's more like a financial detective, always weighing the cost against the benefit. He's even up for a little friendly negotiation with the opposing counsel, saving you from the bankruptcy that's too often the final act in a divorce. In the end, Joel provided a value that's priceless. If you find yourself facing a divorce and need an attorney, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Joel. He's the attorney you'll want in your corner when life's plot takes an unexpected twist.

Joel S. Seidel, and his team are excellent Family Law Attorney's. My case involved spousal support termination at the age of 65. I contacted a few attorneys before hiring Joel, but decided to hire him over the others, because he was responsive, professional, knowledgeable about my situation, was wi...lling to listen and gave me honest feedback. He and his staff are great writers in preparation of all court documents required to convince the court of my case to Win. My case was only going to be resolved in the courtroom, and Joel was ready to plead my case and more importantly prepare me for the court hearing. In pleading my case, Joel new the case law very well, which he argued for a Win verdict, and we coordinated the entire case over emails and telephone calls, thereby saving me costs. Joel is very cognizant of the client's cost and does everything he can to keep costs to the minimum. I highly recommend his services!

I got a horrible result from my 1st attorney in my divorce case concerning the Moore Marsden (the calculation to divide the community assets). I was fortunate to be referred to Attorney Seidel from the Accountant that was doing my calculations. Mr. Seidel gave me a realistic and informed outl...ook on my Appeal for my Moore Marsden court case. He was able to confidently get me through the process and win the Appeal saving my about $400,000 dollars. Yes, amazing. He really cares for his clients, and he is very knowledgeable about the Divorce Appeal process. You can be assured that Attorney Seidel cares and will work for your best interest. Thank you again Attorney Seidel. Steven H.

So glad I had Joel represent me in my divorce. He is personable and had my best interest at heart. Going through a divorce is definitely stressful and he always made himself available whenever I had a question or a concern as to what direction my divorce was heading. Unfortunately the ex was a nar...cissist and in California that doesn't matter and I was the bread winner. Joel is straight forward and honest and advise on things that I did not necessarily agree. I consulted another attorney for a second opinion and this attorney said "Why would you consider changing attorney when you have the #1 divorce attorney in the San Fernando Valley?" Well rest assured I stayed with Joel. He is kind and considerate but holds no punches when it comes to strategies. He is well respected among his peers. His fees are reasonable and even gave me a break at times. Overall I settled out of court and satisfied with the outcome.

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 ...able to handle things in this manner, unlike so many other lawyers. If you're looing for an honest, effective collaborative attorney, you should definitely consider Joel.
