The Best in his Class !!

About twenty years ago, Tony had helped my parents and I get through a challenging criminal case. Achieving the best result possible. But, it is now twenty years later and I am scrambling for an attorney in a family law case. I thought of Tony briefly, but shrugged him off thinking.....he doesn't pra...ctice family law. Until, I am now down to the wire and I need representation fast, like now. I am downtown San Diego and I decide to reach out to Tony on a whim. Not only do I locate Tony, I leave a message with his firm briefly explaining the situation. Its a Friday and I am thinking I am toast. The next day, Saturday, and Tony calls and tells me to meet him on Monday to go over the case. I did not even have to ask him one question about fees? is he available, can he be proactive, nothing. It was like such loyalty from his prior work twenty years ago like it was yesterday! He did not miss a beat. He was on it from hello and went on to win with the best results possible. I guess I am trying to say that Tony is so good and with it for his clients that he responded just like the twenty years did not even exist. He operates today like he did twenty years ago. And he has been through a hell of a lot since then. Tony is my attorney for life! No questions asked. The best in his class. There is no one better, period !! I rest my case.

Scot & Trina, Wow, thank you for the very kind words. As you know, it was a highly emotional case and I am so glad that you approved me going in the direction I did at the hearing. Apparently, I was on to something! I was very gratified to get the result we did, it meant a great deal to me. Tony

Knowledgeable and responsive

I have never heard of a divorce is traumatizing or as messy as my own. I was devastated by the unfair and untrue allegations my ex brought to the court and the resulting financial, custody, emotional and mental battle that ensued. Tony met with me the same day I contacted him and assured me he would ...always tell the truth even if I didn’t want to hear it. I was not at all prepared financially for this divorce and we worked out a very reasonable payment plan. The constant onslaught of paperwork, emails, Serving notices and phone calls were very overwhelming but Tony was able to take care of everything for me and simplify the process in a situation I thought would never resolve. Once the dust settled and I felt emotionally and mentally ready to represent myself Tony graciously shared the pros and cons of my decision and we came to an agreement that I could handle the rest on my own. I would highly recommend Mr. Solare to anyone facing an extremely difficult divorce with high conflict and mental and emotional trauma involved.

Made the whole process easy

I can’t thank Mr. Solare enough, he made my stress of my divorce disappear. Tony is extremely honest, up front and open, He really does cater to the people he is representing. I highly recommend him to anyone I need of his services, he’s so honest he refunded me over a thousand dollars of my retai...ner. Great honest man. Thanks Tony. -Chuck B.

There is a reason why Solare rhymes with Volare

Gooberproof. Four years later. Because quantum mechanics and courtroom gymnastics are hardly dissimilar. Mr. Solare is not one to waste his time. I hope, that to this day, he is not under the impression that he wanted his time on me. He did not. He is a beacon of emr, on the visual spectrum..., for those that look.
