Bryanna Bridget Brandalesi

I have been a client of Bryanna Brandalesi at Livingstone Law since early in 2026 to represent me in my DVTRO and Divorce. My representation has been flawless with the entire team. They are on top of any issues quickly and handle them expertly. I cannot give enough praise for Bryanna. I will continue... using her for the conclusion of my pending divorce and look forward to working with her and her team. Excellent service and genuinely good people to work with.

After spending years representing myself in an attempt to seek a fair and equitable settlement with my spouse and avoid a costly trial, I instead found myself in a never-ending stalemate with them - with constant and significant delays followed by outrageously disproportionate settlement proposals an...d an unwillingness to negotiate. And with a mandatory settlement conference looming, I realized very late that I desperately needed legal help and fast, so I reached out to an attorney I had previously consulted with only to discover they were no longer taking on contested divorce cases. However, they were able to refer me to a previous colleague that was active in San Diego who they spoke very highly of - and that was Bryanna. At the time, Bryanna was in the process of switching to a new firm, but I was still able to get in touch with her as well as her new firm partner. They were both incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive, not to mention FAST at familiarizing themselves with my years-long case history. Bryanna understood the urgency and worked tirelessly to get caught up on the issues as well as my personal goals to achieve a better life for my family despite ongoing hostilities with my spouse. Together, Bryanna and I worked together to prepare an RFO that clearly spoke to what was best for my children, file all necessary paperwork with the court, and finally get the ball rolling on a case that had been stalled for years. She involved me in every decision and made me truly feel like a valued colleague and not just a client. Bryanna was with me every step of the way - making herself available whenever I had communication breakdowns with my spouse, consulting on appropriate responses, and breaking down the often convoluted steps involved in the divorce process to make sure I understood everything. And when my spouse ultimately initiated a hostile retaliation - refusing every fair settlement proposal we sent her way, firing her previous attorney, replacing them with a notoriously litigious law firm, and filing her own RFO seeking to shift date of separation solely for financial gain as well as move away with our children - Bryanna helped keep my responses measured in what would have otherwise been a highly alarming and panicked situation. She was able to assist me through an arduous discovery and forensic accounting process, which ultimately led to the eventual trial that I had been dreading for so long. Bryanna represented me tactfully, professionally, and passionately throughout, upholding my principles and desire to always take the dignified high road, even when my spouse continued to choose deception and exaggerations of the truth. While I may have not have received the verdict I had hoped for (the judge ultimately ruled in favor of my spouse moving away with our children), I truly believe that Bryanna did absolutely everything she could, going above and beyond what I could have ever expected of an attorney representing me, and I have zero regrets or reservations in hiring her. Apart from being an incredibly knowledgeable and cunning attorney, Bryanna also has just the kindest heart. She is a highly empathetic soul and knows first-hand how difficult divorce can be for families, especially on children. I found her own personal experience as a child of divorced parents to be harrowing and inspiring, especially as I do all that I can to ensure my kids have the love and support of their father in these coming years, despite moving across the country, and to be there for them no matter what life brings. Thank you for everything, Bryanna, you are the greatest!

I truly cannot express how grateful I am for this firm and especially for my attorney, Bryanna. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond anything I expected. Throughout my case, she remained incredibly compassionate, patient, and always kept my children’s safety and best interests at the ce...nter of every decision, something that meant the world to me as a parent.
