Mary Janis Naimish

If you are looking for an honest, professional, compassionate family lawyer, you have come to the right place. When I found myself in need of a divorce attorney after a long term marriage, I was lucky enough to get Mary’s name from a family friend who practices family law in Los Angeles. ...It was one of the luckiest days of my life. At our initial consultation, I was impressed by Mary’s open, confidant and up-beat personality. Mary listened to my story with the compassion and patience born of years of experience. I was struck by her concern for not only me, but my children as well. She has concern for all parties involved in a divorce but definitely works hard for her clients. Mary explained the steps involved in the divorce process and went over what I could expect in the way of spousal support and child support. She and her staff were extremely professional while at the same time offering comfort and support in my darkest hour. After investigating mediation with my ex-husband, I decided the best move for me would be to hire Mary to represent me. It was the smartest decision I’ve ever made and a decision that will affect the rest of my life. Mary did a wonderful job of explaining my legal rights and how the family court system works. She also listened to me and trusted my instincts. With Mary’s expert guidance I was able to settle my divorce without going to court and ended up getting more in spousal support then what the courts would have granted. I don’t think I could have faced my ex without Mary’s support. Her experience, confidence and calm, compassionate demeanor made a world of difference. I have recommended Mary to a number of friends who have also benefitted from Mary’s expertise. She is one of the best lawyers in San Diego.

I found Mary through a referral from a family friend; coming to her at the end of a long term marriage of over 10 years. I was terrified and certain my life was over. I could not see past the darkness of divorce or the financial burden that now faced me daily. After my very 1st visit I knew I was... safe, I would be protected through this new process by a kind, graceful, knowledgeable woman who understood every emotion a divorce (especially one involving children) draws out of a person. She gave me the ability to stand tall and strong but then gave me a shelter in which I could emotionally crumble into later. My desires became her focus. Her direct communication of information left no room for misunderstanding or confusion. I faced shared custody with an active alcoholic, the loss of my home, pension, savings, 401K and my sanity. Mary and her staff stood my side supporting communication between both parties so that an amicable resolution could be reached. At times, this meant she had to be dedicated to encouraging me to have direct contact with my spouse. My divorce was successful and exceeded my expectations only through the combined efforts of Mary, Sophia, Sunny, and Roxanne. Each person involved deserves to be mentioned. Sophia, Mary’s right hand attorney on my case - was in my eyes to Mary as Robin is to Batman. (I told you I was in a room of Super Hero’s!) Her intelligence, court presence and ability to meet me emotionally were outstanding. There was never a moment where I doubted the strength of my representation. Now, the first person you meet when you enter the office is Sunny, who’s name fits her perfectly! Her shinning smile, gentle tone, and peaceful demeanor fill the office. She is the perfect person to encounter when you first walk into a divorce attorney’s office. Now, everyone knows attorneys don't work for free...they do have a billing department and so I bring you Roxanne. She is not just a bill collector, for whenever she called me humanity and empathy were in her voice; helping me relax through the necessary payment process. My divorce is now over and I will be forever grateful to Mary and her staff for all they did both individually and collectively for me.

Mary represented me in a family court hearing . She was trustworthy and intelligent . She kept me informed the whole time. She was honest and gave me real assessments of what the outcome could be in all different circumstances. She did not over promise but she did deliver. I am eternally grateful to... her for helping protect me and my minor child. Mary is smart and fights on behalf of her clients. She is a phenomenal litigator and her ability to accomplish what I thought was impossible gave me safety and security for the first time in 15 years. Her assistant sunny was responsive and kind . I cannot say enough about Mary . I have complete confidence in her . She is a strong advocate and knows the law .
