Matthew Eric Palmer

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.

Attorney Manwaring was probably the 6th attorney I consulted with for a simple post judgment matter. What should have been simple ended up in unecessary litigation due to my ex and his attorney (abusing the process in my opinion) and Mr. Manwaring made sure my son and I were always aware of the issue...s and allegations being made, he really listened and understood my side of things, despite a lot of misleading filings by me ex. He never judged me and always advised me. He will be my attorney for life!

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!

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!

I can't even begin to describe how hard my custody dispute was. My in-laws, my ex, and I were all fighting for custody. Matthew understood how difficult it was and explained to me how family court works. He knew how the different judges that I had were which helped us prepare for court better. Overal...l, he truly fought for me, he fought for my daughter's rights, and he protected those rights from opposing counsel. His team is great and the paralegal who worked on my case, Elizabeth, was fantastic. These people truly changed my life and I couldn't be more grateful that they were there. I don't know what I would've done without them. They gave my daughter her mother back and gave me my life again.
