Matthew Eric Palmer

This legal team saved my family, won a resounding custody battle and set case presidents within San Diego in doing so! Matthew is the best family law attorney in San Diego! Layla is an amazing legal mind and Jacqueline is the hardest working, most compassionate and effective paralegal I’ve ever s...een. Through the hardest time in my life, this team diligently researched brand new CA law, fanatically and effectively applied the law and litigated it in trial for a resounding victory. Moreover, they invested personal capital, compassion and feelings into keeping my family together. I felt they cared just as much as I did in helping my family! Thank you is not enough. I could not give a higher recommendation to this firm and this team.

Going through a custody battle is hard and also divorce. I thank the firm for always having my back and telling me the hard truth from the start. I had a consult with Mr. Matthew Palmer he laid It all out for me the Good, the bad and the ugly. He told me from the start It would be hard only due to me... telling him my story. I got assigned a great paralegal that I highly would recommend to anyone Jacqueline Knecht, she was my go to with everything and understood where I was coming from as a mother, marine and over all as a person. She would always respond right away if I had an issue even during the weekend she would check the email regularly. Jacquilene was always spot on with everything and would word everything perfectly during my whole case. She never missed anything, She would break things down for me so I could understand It a lot better if that was over via email or the phone. She made it easy for me to feel comfortable and at ease during my whole case especially when I was at the edge of wanting to give up. She would always give me the saying "don't worry until we tell you to worry". During with this whole pandemic, marine corp order changing and me transition out of the marine corps. She helped me a lot, She's honeslty a great person and is amazing at her job espically when its time for a hearing she will get everything ready to go. When it was my Trial day she made sure my stuff was perfect not just on that day, but every time and she made sure I was satisfied. She would redo the parts I didn't want and add few things I wanted and would word it perfectly. She didn't just redo it once and call it a day, but she would do it until I was happy with the result. I would highly recommend her as peralegal to anyone and also the firm. From the time I walked into that office I felt welcomed, the energy in that place just made you feel like family and took good care of me until the end of my case. When I say the whole firm took care of me I truly mean that. I had the pleasure to have Matthew Palmer, Richard Manwaring and Layla Zad all represent me during my whole custody case at one point. Layla was the one who represented me during my trial, she made feel confident and honeslty calm my nerves and stress. She was so confident in my case she told me I will bring It home not to worry and that's exactly what she did. I put my trust into the firm they always know what's best. I highly recommend this firm to anyone on the attonery side. On the paralegal stand point it would be Jacqueline Knecht she was great during my whole case returning phone calls, putting important details on everything and answering questions Thank you to the firm and everyone that contributed to my case you all helped me start a new life. I'm happy to say the outcome was great, im divorced I can't start my new life with my family and custody is all settled. I could never thank the firm enough I'll always be grateful for them.

Mr Palmer helped me thru a difficult custody and is helping me thru it still with it. He a superb attorney for all of my family/civil/ trust/ and business legal needs. He has served as my attorney for a very complex situation with my ex and 4 children that are my world. The professionalism of the sta...ff and associate attorneys is second to none. Jacqueline a paralegal at Matthew Palmer office was assigned to be my paralegal. Jaqueline is an amazing paralegal with an ability to talk with me to help me understand my rights, explanation of the complex custody legalities, and been and advocate to my . She and Dimitri both have helped me thru very difficult times. Including me helping to understand that my kiddos behavior and some statements are the results of Parental Alienation to which I have fallen victim to for the last year of separation let alone the last decade of me trying to be an active father in my kiddos life. If you want equal parenting rights, and the best advocates out there then Matthew Palmer and his team are for you. God Bless them all , Thank You Mr Matthew Palmer , Jackie, Jordan, Dimitri, Layla and the rest of the staff behind the scenes ...... Sincerely, Kelly

Sadly, my marriage ended. I am grateful to have Mr. Palmer as my attorney. He is extremely knowledgeable and aggressive while economizing the process to keep the fees down. Divorce is a horrible thing for anyone to go through, and making decisions is difficult. Mr. Palmer is not only a strong adv...ocate, but wise and understanding counselor, a skill many other lawyers forget about. He is guiding me in my decisions on how to protect and enforce my legal rights to the maximum while honoring my wishes not to make the divorce into thermonuclear war. Thank you, Mr. Palmer, for your expertise.

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!
