Matthew Eric Palmer

I am active duty military and I was stationed overseas when I called Palmer Rodak & Associates. I spoke with Ms Layla Zad for the free consultation in regards to my desire to divorce my abusive spouse and take custody of the 2 children upon my return to California. Ms Zad was very professional and sh...e did a great job answering all my questions and alleviating my fears about hiring a law firm in California while I was overseas. We are almost 9 months into the process (delayed at every step by my soon to be ex) and the level of concern and effort put forth by Ms Zad, Mr Matthew Palmer and their team has been amazing. I truly believe that the firm cares about my family's situation and does everything possible to assist us in getting us moving forward to a better future. The firm is knowledgeable, trustworthy, aggressive in their representation and I am grateful for all their help. I am so glad that I hired this team!

I've never been through a divorce before so I was quite worried about the whole ordeal, made even more complicated because I was active duty military at the time. They kept me well informed and were courteous throughout the proceedings. His firm remained professional and diligent helping me through... what was essentially a nightmare.

I cannot express my gratitude for Mr. Palmer and his team. I walked in nervous and completely lost. After my first meeting with him I felt at ease. This whole staff just has a way of making you feel like everything will be taken care of. So professional and genuine at every stage. I was astonish...ed at how easily and unrehearsed my questions were answered. Three years of unending questions, emails and phonecalls I never once was made to feel like I was bothering them. I tell everyone I know how wonderful Mr.Palmer, Sharol and the whole team are! Highly Recommended!

Due to Matthew's clear & concise delivery of the facts today in court, the judge was able to understand the serious and absolutely life threatening danger my grand daughter was facing. Prior to Matthew recently stepping in and stepping up to speak on behalf of my 4 year old granddaughter,... the rulings always left a question as to the validity of her need for protection. Today, the facts were so clearly presented, and so completely explained, that there was no doubt in anyone's mind that a very dangerous situation indeed existed. And that this danger needed addressing today and at every future court intervention for visitation changes, "until she is 18" said the judge. Matthew never accused or berated anyone. He simply and calmly presented the facts, And he remained focused on those essential facts for the duration without wavering and without becoming defensive or pushy. The facts were allowed to speak for the truth. They were the truth! This truth was recognized by the judge who could then clearly advocate in a helpful and protective manner for my granddaughter. I will forever be grateful for Matthews' timely intervention. His well prepared and soft spoken presentation won the day for my granddaughter. And ensured she will receive the same protective consideration from the court, in the future. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Matthew Palmer & Associates were my rock through what should have been a super easy case. Divorce and Separation through the courts can be a tricky thing. If there is a side being absolutely unreasonable it can be drawn out for what seems like forever. My case should have been done in a few months. I...nstead it took over 2 years. Let me be the first to clarify it was to no fault of Matthew and his crew. You see my ex is in the military and every month that went by she was making extra money. So her and her ridiculous attorneys did all they could to drag it out and that they did. Matthew was the best decision I have EVER made. He was there and by my side the whole time. He knew exactly what the judge would look for AND kept my anxiety of it all at bay. Everyone in that office was so nice and willing to help me through my journey. I definitely feel without them I would have lost my mind or lost my case, or both. Matthew is what you need by your side, and hopefully you don’t have to go to trial like I did, but if you do… He is the one for the job. After 2 years of patience and waiting we were awarded everything we requested and my attorney’s fees were ordered to be paid by my ex. In choosing to take on Matthew Palmer and Associates I am finally able to go on living my life in peace. I cannot express my gratitude for everyone in that office that helped me along the way. I will forever be grateful for having been so lucky to have this team by my side during one of the worst times. Thank you Matthew!
