Experience is the key. After twenty-five years serving the Southern California Family Law community (first as a Deputy District Attorney, then in private practice as a Senior Associate and as a Partner) I am now the Managing Partner at the Newport Beach Family Law firm of the Hittelman Family Law Group, APC. We offer the unique combination of expertise and dedication that our clients expect when going through one of the worst time in their lives. We are able to keep our clients up-to-date on their matters and get their cases resolved so that they spend time with their families, not in the courts. Krystle Lilly-White is CAMS Certified to provide our clients the option of pursuing Mediation or a Collaborative Divorce. Our Of Counsel, Wayne Jones, provides the insights of a forty-year practitioner with a depth of legal and life experience.
I started my legal career as the first Deputy District Attorney hired by the Orange County District Attorney's Office, Family Support Division. My duties included handling paternity cases, child support, and enforcement of support obligations. I then went into private practice, where I was able to draw from my first career - as a teacher - to work to raise the level of family law practice in Orange County. My presentations included educating other attorneys about Domestic Violence, complex child support issues, psychological issues impacting child custody decisions, and general Family Law issues. I am a Certified Specialist in Family, certified by the California Board of Legal Specialization, since 2002.
Our variety of experienced attorneys and teamwork approach provides unique opportunities for clients to have the strategy and wisdom of a variety of viewpoints. We look forward to helping you along the next path of your life.
