Skilled, Honest, and Strategic — Highly Recommended

Mr. Zitney is a strategic and highly capable family law attorney who helped me through a difficult property and financial dispute. My case involved complex Moore/Marsden and transmutation issues, and his knowledge of California family law was critical to the outcome. What impressed me most was his... honesty. He was upfront about possible risks and outcomes and didn’t sugarcoat things just to keep me happy. He helped me weigh the financial reality of each legal decision so I wasn’t throwing good money after bad. That level of integrity built trust quickly. He argued my case skillfully, kept me grounded, and ensured I understood every step of the process. His team was professional and responsive. Thanks to him, I received a fair and just result — and protected what I had worked for. Highly recommended for anyone going through divorce, property division, or financial litigation in family law.

His knowledge of the law is outstanding, and he walked me through every step of the process with clarity a...nd patience. Jonathon was always reliable—every call was returned, every concern addressed, and every detail handled with precision. I always felt supported because he consistently showed up prepared, focused, and determined to fight for the best outcome for my family. Thanks to his hard work, expertise, and commitment, my children and I can move forward with peace and stability. If you’re looking for a lawyer who is smart, trustworthy, and truly cares about his clients, Jonathon Andrew Zitney is the one you want in your corner. Highly recommended without hesitation

Pure professionalism

Great experience with Rancho Family Law Group. The team was nothing but professional. They were always one step ahead of the game. I appreciated their honesty when so many lawyers today make false promises of outcomes. They were very responsive to my emails and calls. I felt very confident in tru...sting them to have my best interest. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of family law services.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes!

Navigating a divorce is one of the most stressful and emotionally taxing experiences anyone can face. Having the right team by your side makes all the difference—and that’s exactly what I found with Attorney Jonathan Zitney and his team at Rancho Family Law. From the beginning, I felt supported ev...ery step of the way. As someone unfamiliar with the court system, I was overwhelmed and intimidated. But the entire staff at Rancho Family Law was incredibly patient, compassionate, and thorough in guiding me through the process. When I had to represent myself in court, they made sure I had the tools, knowledge, and confidence to do so effectively. Their guidance and resources helped me present myself with clarity and professionalism in front of the judge. Their legal fees were reasonable, and they provided flexible payment options, which helped ease some of the financial stress. Despite the emotional difficulty of going through a divorce, my experience with Rancho Family Law was a positive one. I am deeply grateful to Mr. Zitney and his team for their support during such a challenging chapter of my life.

Most honest lawyer you will find

I had another lawyer before mr.zitney and had to fire her because she did nothing but take 20 thousand from me. Mr. Zitney came very highly recommended. I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mr Zitney. He is very honest and cares for his clients. There were times that I called and was very... upset about going through a divorce after being with my ex for 40 years.I cried and Mr. Zitney took the time to listen to me with compassion. Mr. Zitney also try’s to do what he can to save you money. The whole staff is amazing. Very kind and caring. I hope you never need a divorce lawyer but if you do I highly recommend Mr. Zitney.
