Preparation with Key

My consult with Mr. Reape was invaluable. I was about to go to court, in front of a judge, to obtain a restraining order against a bully. I was representing myself, but went ahead and paid for a consult with Mr. Reape to educate me on what to expect. He helped me organize my facts to present to the j...udge and gave me the confidence I needed to walk into court prepared. Thankfully I was granted the restraining order, and feel that was due in part to Mr. Reape's assistance.

A true advocate

I have been employed in the court system for more than 13 years. I have witnessed innumerable zombies practicing family law during that time. When it became necessary to retain counsel for my own family law issue, I chose Mr. Reape because of his excellent reputation. Mr. Reape surpassed my expect...ations. I was always kept current on my case and always had my questions answered quickly, which made me very pleased. What stood out was that when it became necessary to appear in court, Mr. Reape had an unbelieveable grasp and knowledge of my case. He articulated my position to the judge better than I could have on my own. I was so relieved that Mr. Reape actually cared about my situation. He is head and shoulders above the rest.

Jim Reape - Undoubtedly one of California's best divorce attorneys

I found Jim Reape by scouring the internet, and while I was reluctant to go this route, it quickly became apparent after an initial meeting that I had stumbled on one of the most knowledgable and effective divorce attorneys in the state, let alone the city of Santa Clarita. I was impressed by the... fact that Jim published numerous articles on a wide range of subjects related to divorce. He listened intently and always gave me as much time as I needed to explain or advise, and was always very accessible. He also had a great support staff. The judge and even the opposing attorney also clearly respected Jim and his knowledge of the law, and the way he approached the case. I was very, very happy to have found Jim Reape and his team, expecially including Paullete Galustain.

My top family law source

Jim is an exceptional attorney with expert legal knowledge, creative mind, and great moral integrity. The family law forum he set up is a great legal source for people who care about issues ranging from pre-marital agreement, to divorce, property division, and child custody, and Jim promptly answer q...uestions on the forum or through emails which one has to pay for consultation with other attorneys. I first benefited from Jim through his forum, as I had lots of questions while helping a friend with his divorce. I got most questions answered through the forum as well as direct email communications with Jim. Most other lawyers would have charged $ for resolving those questions. Then I hired Jim in 2003 to draft a pre-marital agreement for me, it was also satisfying work. Since then I still from time to time consult Jim with family law related questions and he always gave prompt and quality responses. The influence I got from Jim was not only deeper knowledge on family law, also part of the force for me to look into transitioning into law field myself.
