# cases is extimate. As a mother, grandmother, aunt, I know that there is NOTHING more important to us than our children their welfare, well-being, happiness and success in all areas are of utmost importance.Custody battles take a toll on children--but so do abuse, domestic violence, inappropriate behaviors, and conflict. Absent any abusive behaviors, or substance abuse, we work to help each parent contribute to their children's well-being and future, and obtain appropriate orders to protect th

Divorce and Separation 20%

Number of cases is estimated. As a great number of my clients are Christians, and hate divorce, there are situations where it is necessary, or they cannot control it. My office works with them to accomodate their principles to get them through it as unscathed as possible.

Child Support 15%

# cases is estimated. Children need emotional, physical, and financial support, but the support should be reasonable and both parents have the responsibility. I have handled many cases in the child support court, protecting parents' drivers licensees and reasonable support, as well as helping custodial parents receive the contributions they need to provide for the children.

Domestic Violence 15%

Number of cases is estimated. I set up and administered the Barristers Domestic VIolence Project in the Los Angeles Superior Court for the first 5 years. I taught MCLE to other attorneys, law clerks, court personnel, and law enforcement the law on this area, speaking at the California State Bar Convention, as well as the LA County Bar Association. I also spoke in Michigan to assist them in setting up a similar project.

Good lawyer, child suppport

Child Support case my ex is on welfare. Madeleine was very knowledgable, very friendly with the other attorneys, she settled my case the first day before we even went to courtroom. Many people knew her there. She is always smiling and looks like she gets along with everybody. She prayed with me bec...ause I was so nervous. It made a big difference to me.

Very Strong Defender!

I found out my husband was also marreid to somebody else. He was hiding money from me. I found out I was pregnant after he left me. I was very emotional. Mrs. Kambe spent a lot of time with me the first time we met. The annulment took 2 years but I am glad because she found out he was hiding mone...y and she had him pay me extra for hiding our money. Madeline's paralegal was very knowledgable too. When Madeline wasn't there, her paralegal knew what was going on. Both women are good Christians. I recommend Madeline. It took more than a yearwhich was hard but it was worth it.

family law attorney Posted by: a Child Support client, 11 months ago. Overall rating Excellent Trustworthy Excellent Responsive Excellent Knowledgeable Excellent Kept me informed Excellent I recommend Madeleine Bryant-Kambe. I used Madeleine 1-3 years ago. Madeleine handled my Child Support matter. I have previously worked with no lawyers. Client Review: She helped me in my child support case. My baby's father claimed he didn't work, but she found a document in the papers she got that showed he was working and he pays support from his paycheck, so now we have my own apartment

Posted by Mary Martinez | April 06, 2009 | Divorce & Separation

AN ADVOCATE SENT FROM HEAVEN

Mrs. Bryant-Kambe is respected and loved among judges, lawyers and employees of the court. I witnessed it during the process of my divorce( which lasted over three years). Her passion for fairness and justice, intelligence, experience and wisdom I gained full legal and physical custody of my childr...en. In addition to the house. I had a very difficult divorce. My ex-husband had an affair and in conjunction with her girlfriend planned a malicious act against me so they would have full control of the house and the children, to avoid paying child support. They forged my signature, letters and presented false evidence to the court. If it was not for Mrs. Bryant's passion for justice and her advocacy for the welfare of the children, I would not have won full legal and physical custody of my kids. Equally important, her devotion to God, and humanity guided me during the most difficult time of my life.
