Honest and working family law attorney /Orange County

Most of the family law attorneys in Orange County/Lamoreux Justice Center want to plead your case out or bill you for not doing anything - they don't really care about what happens to you and your family as long as they getpaid and make a buck on vulnerable people going through a very difficult time.... Mr. Bebereia is the most honest family law attorney I have encountered and stands apart from all the other attorneys; he genuinely cares about you and/or your family and wants to do the right thing for you and your family. You will get in contact with him personally and will not get handed off to a paralegal or secretary or be in a situation where he does not personally know your case. He is very knowledgeable and you are in very good, capable hands to trust Mr. Bebereia to handle your most difficult family law matter. I cannot recommend him highly enough especially after having experience with several family law attorneys in orange county.

Best Outcome

Don Bebereia handled my divorce and I recommend him unequivocally. He was professional, knowledgeable, and always answered my calls and emails in a timely manner when I had questions. He knows family law inside and out and was an effective advocate for my family. Divorce is never pleasant but Mr. Be...bereia handed my case, even with lengthy and complex custody and financial issues in a way that took as much stress off me as possible and resulted in the very best outcome. I highly recommend him.

Absolutely amazing and fast

He is so fast and knows exactly what he is doing. He was always informative and would get things done either before or right on time. He helped me get my case handled and I will definitely come back in the future if I need an attorney. Really great lawyer! Thanks

expertise and compassion

Don Bebereia handled my initial case with expertise as well as compassion. And he was fast without compromising quality. He always had time for me. Several years later when I called him regarding some other issues, he consulted me and did not charge me for his time. I was not only shocked, but gr...ateful. I feel he genuinely cares about a persons stressful situation and wants to do all he can to help. He helps you to see the situation clearly. I would highly recommend him.

Thank you Don

Don guided me through my recent divorce proceedings and was very compassionate and understanding to my specific needs. I always felt he was genuinely concerned and made sure everything was in my best interests.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Mr. Bebereia was the opposing attorney on a difficult case where his client's prior attorney had made settlement of the matter impossible, despite the fact that the case did not need to go to trial to get resolved fairly. In the end, I found Mr. Bebereia to be a solid advocate for his client, but reasonable and willing to work to find ways that our clients could work together to resolve their divorce. In the end, we resolved the matter via stipulated judgment, without trial, just as I had hoped. I also found Mr. Bebereia to be professional and highly knowledgeable."
