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!

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.

Five star/A+++ attorney and representation. Highly recommended. Anybody that’s in the unfortunate position to have to hire an attorney for a high conflict child custody case is already involved in a high drama situation. What makes navigating the waters easier, having piece of mind, and less drama is... having representation where the attorney is extremely knowledgeable, highly respected, has over 2 1/2 decades of experience, and so personable that you know him and his team really do care about their client and take the time to understand and represent the client with the upmost professionalism and strategy that can only be learned through years of experience, practice, and knowledge. This is exactly what I found in the two years time that Joel Seidel and his colleague Tasneem Campwala represented me in my high conflict child custody case. From the beginning Joel and his team were the upmost of professionals. Not skipping a beat in the representation of me and my young daughter. After initially hiring an attorney who seemed to not have the experience to navigate the Family Court system in the City of Los Angeles, I did some follow up research and found Joel to be exactly what I needed and wanted, someone who went above and beyond all of my expectations. Once I hired Joel everything was like clockwork. Every phone call, email, or text I sent to Joel and Tasneem was responded to immediately and always within a very short time. Joel’s representation of my case in court was always on point and him and his team were never drawn into the drama that the opposing counsel was trying to create but only stuck to the facts and our strategy of what was best for my daughter. At this point my daughter is 5 years old and if I need to use Joel’s services at any point before she turns 18, I will not hesitate to call him as he and his team have represented me and my daughter with the upmost diligence, care, and professionalism. Custody issues can be extremely difficult but what makes it easier is having a team that understands clearly and concisely what they’re doing and I’m thankful to Joel and Tasneem for fighting for me and my daughter and getting the best possible outcome. I am truly grateful to Joel and Tasneem for their excellent and superb representation of me and my daughter. This is without a doubt the team you want on your side and representing you.
