Matthew J. Mesnik

Matt and his team have exceeded my expectations. He is knowledgable, competent and a clear communicator. I'm happy I retained his firm and highly recommend him.

Matt Mesnik was able to navigate my complex divorce. My divorce included an out of state move, domestic violence, real estate and military retirement. His law firm was able to successfully negotiate my move and relocation of my 3 children to 3000 miles away to safety. This was done in a matter of months (which would’ve taken traditionally in California courts much longer period of time). Post-divorce Matt has continued to check in and help me navigate post-separation. I was able to walk away with the real estate I deserved and a substantial amount of child support for my children. I am very grateful to Matt and his team.

If you are looking for an HONEST and COMPETENT attorney, Hire Atty Mesnik and his law firm. I was looking for a lawyer to represent me in a complicated case and he was up to the challenge starting from the time I called and did the consultation with him. He heard me out and listened very intently as to the background and paid attention to the details of my case. I am from out of state so this was all done over the phone. I have actually talked to 8 attorneys before him on the same day and none of them seem to be a good fit for my case. During the consultation phase, Atty Matt discussed with me how he would approach my case in detail and what he thinks our best steps were. He is fair in pricing and did not give me the impression that he would over bill. During the court hearing, he was very composed, did not flinch and fought for us. He knew by heart every detail of my case , hence, was able to layout his arguments in a very strategic manner. He was very responsive and made sure to ease me up by taking the time to answer my questions and explain what the next steps would be. I would vouch for Atty. Mesnik and his team.

I really enjoyed working with Matthew. He made a very complicated case I had going on bearable. I truly don't know what I would have done without him. A very kind person and someone you definitely need in your corner. He made me aware of all of my options and advised me in the right direction. I would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of a good lawyer, he knows what he is doing. All of his staff are nice and prompt with email responses. Overall a great experience and I would definitely use him again in a heartbeat if I ever needed him.

You can not ask for better attorneys than Matthew and Adrian at Mesnik Law Group. Divorce is very stressful, and I am sorry for anyone going through it. I brought on Mesnik Law Group. Half the time I was a raving lunatic. At all times, they remained calm, kind, courteous, informative, reassuring, knowledgeable, potent, and extremely professional. In the end they got me everything I wanted in the divorce. They are a firm you can trust.

My divorce was unfortunately long, drawn-out and contentious. I represented myself for much of it hoping it would be resolved sooner rather than later and knew I had to hire counsel when my case was set for trial. Matt had represented me through another firm on a hearing when my divorce first began years before, and I remembered his pleasant, yet straightforward demeanor and knew he would not be rattled by my ex, himself a lawyer. Throughout his representation, he focused, and kept me focused, on issues that matter which helped minimize anxiety I felt from my ex's demeaning and exhausting tactics. It's never easy to have to go through contentious legal matters but I am glad I had Matt and his team on my side. I would certainly recommend their services.

I came to Mesnik law referred by an attorney friend. I began the process with a paralegal thinking this was an easy task. Truth is, no matter how peaceful or horrible your situation is, you need advice from a professional to make it through. There are so many steps and so much paperwork, you just can’t afford to make a mistake. Having a third party as an advocate makes the process and decision making a lot easier. We all have rights and we should know what they are before agreeing to terms that can not be reversed. Matt was pleasant and always available to return my emails and calls. In the courtroom he was firm yet professional and very knowledgeable. As hard and emotional as this process was, I felt like he had my back and I was very satisfied with the outcome.

Matt Mesnik and his team are top notch. I’ve had to deal with some intense custody issues over the past few years and have always retained Matt to help get me through it. He and his team are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and they actually care about your case. If you ever need a lawyer, I highly recommend Mesnik Law Group.

The Mesnik Law Group really changed my life for the better. When I was confronted with wanting to divorce a very aggressive and contentious person, Matt Mesnik did not back down. Before I found Matt, I consulted with a couple lawyers but didn't land the right fit. I even had a consultation with a very well-known female attorney in family law. $450 later for her one hour consultation, I felt deflated for having paid someone that advised me to "do more things together" and "try to work it out", and my favorite, she told me that it seemed that I would not be able to afford this divorce. When I finally met with Matt Mesnik, he gave me a free one hour consultation. He reassured me that my fears would be put at ease. When I informed him that my ex was an attorney and had represented himself in a previous divorce and was now representing himself in our divorce, Matt once again reassured me that he could handle the challenge. Throughout my case, my ex tried on several occasions, to intimidate and bully my attorney (Matt). Of course, it didn't work. Matt remained calm and professional at all times throughout the course of my divorce, which lasted about 18 months. In the end, I got everything that I wanted from my divorce. I didn't "take him to the cleaners", I simply got out of it what was fair. Matt Mesnik is not the type of person that will assist you in trying to take advantage of your situation. He will advise you honestly and fairly. There seem to be a lot of family law attorneys out there that are more interested in how much they can make off of your divorce, rather than how they can help you get through your divorce; the Mesnik Law Group does NOT practice in that way. Also, I would be remiss if I did not mention the indispensable assistance of Stephanie Borrowdale. She was also very helpful in my process and her delicate approach to her clients really made me feel comforted. However, she too, did not back down when she needed to handle my ex. And believe it or not, sometimes she would step in and handle the drafting/filing of my pleadings so that she could keep my costs down, since Matt is priced slightly above her hourly rate. Again, it's not often that an attorney tells you that they want to help you save your money. And when you're going through a long divorce, saving every last penny is critical. Overall, the Mesnik Law Group took me from a very difficult and scary time in my life and helped me come out on the other end feeling 100% reassured that this was the best decision I ever made. I have referred them to several people contemplating divorce. Divorce is not the end of the road and you need an attorney that will set you up to live your best life post-divorce. The Mesnik Law Group has those attorneys!

Thank you Matt and the Meznick Law team for helping me through this very personal experience. You were very easy to work with and I trusted in your expertise completely. Matt, your kindness and humor helped lighten the situation, which I greatly appreciated.

Had a phone consult and he was very patient and knowledgeable. Answered all my questions...and I few I did not know to ask as well.

I found Matt through a family member referral after having less than helpful and competent representation in the past. My case was complicated and multi-jurisdictional as I did not reside in SD County. After explaining in detail what I needed help with while on a telephone consultation with him, it became clear to me that I had found someone competent, knowledgable and helpful. Upon receiving all of the documents needed from the case file, Matt advised me of my options and suggested course of action. The matter was finally concluded and I could move on with my life. He was professional, extremely patient and very competent throughout the entire experience. I highly recommend Matt and his firm for family law matters...

Matthew Mesnik was extremely helpful and efficient. I was able to schedule an appointment for the following day. My paperwork was quickly drafted and revised. I highly recommend this business.

I'm very satisfied with Matthew Mesnik services I would highly recommended him.

I consulted with Matt Mesnik on a Family Law matter and he provided me with outstanding service and legal advice. Matt was professional, sincere, and most of all took the time to listen to my issues attentively. Matt was extremely patient while he educated me in multiple areas of Family Law and my personal case. The professionalism that Matt attended to my matter was outstanding. In the future, I will continue to consult with or hire Matt to represent me with my legal matters. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Matt Mesnik to anyone requiring professional and competent legal representation. Thank you, Matt!
