Matthew Eric Palmer

Palmer Rodak & Associates defended me in a case vs. Riverside County DCSS. The DCSS was dragging me over the coals for child support for a child that was not mine. This case dragged on for years and was emptying my savings account. Matthew Palmer defended my case in person each time the court delaye...d the process, which was approximately 8-10 times. He could have easily charged me for his time each time he showed up to court on my behalf. He knew what the courts were trying to do to me and knew it was unfair. Mr. Palmer waived all fees for the last several court appearances, saving me thousands of dollars. Eventually, he was able to get the courts to dismiss my case. Palmer Rodak & Associates communication during this process was unbelievable. A+ professional team! At no time during this process did I not know what was going on. God forbid, I ever find myself in this situation again, without hesitation, I will be calling Palmer Rodak & Associates. And so should you.

I wanted to leave this amazing review for Matthew Palmer , He has been my attorney for nearly four years and he got me through it all and always had my best Interest in mind. My divorce was not an easy one and he took the time to hear my point of view and always had an advice to give me to make sure ...everything turned out fair. I cannot Thank him enough for the random calls to the office and the way his staff handled the case as well. Everyone there was a pleasure to work with and put my mind at ease when it came down to it. I appreciate the care and effort you guys all did to help me get my life back on track. You guys rock and I hope I never have to go through another divorce again bc I will be back lol. Thank you , Jane F

First of all, I don't even know where to begin because my entire divorce and custody process was long and painful. I am very grateful for Matthew and Layla for helping me through this difficult time in my life, which felt like would never come to an end. It finally has, and the outcome is what was ex...pected. Full of regret and self-destruction, my ex-husband has resorted to his old ways, past addictions and is thankfully, now getting the help that he always needed to get better. This all after being ripped apart and putting me on a witch stand trial by his attorneys. Karma is indeed a B**th. Things are exactly how I want them to be. I cannot begin to tell you how professional and calm Palmer Rodak & Associates were with the opposing side. The opposing side were pit bulls with a high price tag. They were extremely unprofessional, and had a tacky approach. They poked and taunted me all the time even down to their staff. Rest assured that Matthew and Layla did everything in their power to help. At trial, they were quick thinking and sharp. They defended me to the very bitter end. Kept me calm through the entire process. I now have full custody of my children again. You never think that these sort of things could happen to you and when it does, you do not know how to react and what to do. It is very hard. I am very pleased with how professional and ethical they were handling my case. I know judges appreciate such professionalism as well. It serves one well to have attorneys like Matthew and Layla who you can confide in, tell everything to (literally), know that they listen to you and give you the correct advice. You can trust them with your life! Thank you guys so much for all your hard work on my case. I am very grateful. Also, FYI, trust that they will not overcharge you. Their billing rates are reasonable as compared to other places that take full advantage of billing for everything. I don't think I paid enough. All the emails and phone calls of me venting, frustrated and crying through the entire process, and just things that would inadvertently come up with the ex and the children. I wasn't charged for that stuff. Keep in mind that they are extremely busy attorneys. While they usually won't respond to the "lists" of emails, know that they will always find the time to read your emails and have staff respond accordingly. Their staff are welcoming, patient and responsive. And know whether the attorneys respond to your emails, or not, trust that they read ALL of them. They know everything that is going on with you and your case when you communicate with them. They meet with you and talk to you when they can. They let you know that you are not alone. Matthew and Layla, can't tell you how much it means to me all the positive affirmations and advice.

I began my journey with Matthew Palmer/Layla Zad in 2019. I researched more than 15 lawyers in SD and Murrieta and found Matthew Palmer to be the most competent. I am separated and am in a high conflict custody case in Riverside County but have since moved to San Diego. Matthew made me feel at ease ...and has handled my case with the utmost professional and caring manner. He is not rushed off the phone when speaking with me and listens to the pertinent details regarding my ongoing case for a favorable outcome. I trust Matthew Palmer and Layla Zad wholeheartedly. They have to deal with a burdensome opposing counsel and they do not back down! I am 100% satisfied with their representation of my family case. Anyone who is looking for an experienced, compassionate, knowledgeable, and communicative attorney who is committed to helping you yield a successful outcome should DEFINITELY CALL MATTHEW. Thank you Matthew and Layla you have restored peace in my heart.

The past year of my life was essentially a nightmare fighting for custody of my eldest son, but it all came to an end thanks to the entire staff at Palmer Rodak & Associates. Mr Palmer, Ms Zad, Aniyah, and the staff at Palmer Rodak & Associates worked day and night on my case for over 9 months. There... was never a time throughout the entire process that I was out of the loop with what to expect next, what our plan was, and how best to protect my son despite less than cordial actions from the opposing party. The communication alone between my representation and myself was outstanding, they often checked in on me to see how my son and other children were coping and immediately provided me with any updates throughout my case. They are truly an amazing team of people to have in your corner, and words cannot express how thankful I am to Palmer Rodak & Associates for permanently reuniting my family. You simply cannot put a price on keeping your family together, and in the end that is exactly what Mr Palmer helped to achieve - bringing my son back home where he belonged with his siblings. My family will be forever grateful, and we highly suggest their office to anyone who may need assistance in navigating family law. Thank you Mr Palmer, Ms Zad, Aniyah, and the office staff for all you have done to get us through this difficult time.
