I have handled cases in the past where Joel was the opposing counsel; the attorney who represented the ex-spouses of my clients. I would place Joel high on the list of the rare attorneys in L.A. who are honest and moral; and who have integrity, while ensuring that he advocates for his clients diligen...tly and zealously. While we have argued many times, and we have differed drastically in our respective positions when fighting for our respective clients, I respect Joel as an experienced, cordial attorney.

Joel and his wonderful team helped me in my divorce and recent custody issues. I was referred to Joel by a highly respectable Family Law Firm. Little did I know on what results he would achieve for me. Throughout the last 4 years of my divorce and custody battle, I finally made progress in my case th...anks to Joel. He guided me in the right direction and set a strategy. He worked hard on my case and fought very hard on the issues of custody. After my divorce was finalized Joel then set a direction towards custody. Battle for me has not been easy, it has been an emotional and financial challenge for me. Joel and his team made sure to be there for me and my family and made the journey through this difficult time smooth for me. Everytime I walked out of his office after meeting with him, I felt confident, secured, and trusted. I could write all day long and it still won’t be enough to praise the countless hours of hard work that Joel and his team put into my case. Just recently I won the majority of custody of my child. This could not have happened without Joel and his teams hard work and efforts. If you are looking for an attorney who is smart in the area of family law, dealing with divorce and custody, there is no one more efficient and articulate than Joel Seidel. Thank you to Joel and his team for all of the hard work they put into my case. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a Smart knowledgeable family law attorney.

Mr. Seidel assisted me in my divorce case. After receiving horrible advice from a different attorney, Mr. Seidel explained the law clearly to me as well as the factual problems that I faced in litigation. I did my own independent research and confirmed Mr. Seidel's advice. As a result, and Mr. Sei...del's efforts in resolving my case, my wife and I were able to come to a fair settlement that resulted in not only my receiving what I was entitled to long before the litigation would have ended, but I saved thousands of dollars in legal fees. In addition, because we were able to reach an equitable settlement, my wife and I have remained on cordial terms which benefits our two daughters.

Mr. Seidel handled all aspects of my divorce case from discovery and custody disputes, the enforcement of orders, as well as a lengthy appellate court process after the other side lost after a lengthy trial. Mr. Seidel was professional, prepared and a tremendous advocate throughout the entire proces...s. We prevailed at trial and on appeal.

Joel has been my ONLY lawyer for the last 6 painful years of my dissolution and divorce and brutal custody battle. Joel has not only been a great lawyer but also a trusted friend and advisor. He always sought to settle the myriad of issues that arose in the course of the divorce in a peaceful way. I...t was only that all other options were fully exhausted did he opt for the path of litigation. During the vicious custody battle - he stood with me as we eventually won full custody. And when the opposing side took the matter to the court of appeals, Joel handled that with equal skill and fortitude and we were victorious in the Appellate decision. In a nutshell, Joel has been a skillful, kind, honest, affordable and persistent counsel at every step of the way. I don't see how I could have handled this sad situation and arrived to where I am today without Joel as my attorney. I would recommend Joel (and have done so many times) to anyone facing the challenge of divorce and custody.
